Chapter 480: Plaintiff

After the County Magistrate finished speaking, he stared fixedly at Li Miao, his face wearing a look of calm and strategic mastery, as if he had Li Miao completely in his grasp.

Li Miao, however, had no reaction at all. He looked the man up and down, inside and out, and then his feet moved suddenly, as if he were about to step forward.

The County Magistrate's body shuddered, his pupils contracted, and his upper body leaned back involuntarily.

Li Miao stopped his footsteps leisurely and smiled teasingly.

"Sweating, are you?"

"You!"

The County Magistrate was so frightened that he showed his cowardice, no longer able to maintain his superficial composure.

How could he not be afraid?

The Wu Gong Li Miao displayed when throwing the drum was not below the peak level, and with these rotten eggs and stinky birds beside him, the sense of security they brought him was barely better than having half a sheet of paper more when going to the latrine.

Regardless of how the other party would deal with the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the future, in this square inch of space right now, his own life was definitely in the other party's hands.

He still wanted to struggle a bit.

"Madman, do you know about the Sword King Pavilion affair!"

"'Sword King' Bu Ying was an expert who snatched the peak title at the Moon-Viewing Banquet and obtained the Xuanlan cultivation method circulating from the capital. Feeling confident, he killed his way through the Tang Men with a single sword, intending to take the entire Bashu region into his pocket... As a result, within a month, his sword and his dominant hand were both broken!"

"And there was the Abbot of Water-End Zen Monastery who intercepted the Embroidered Uniform Guard, releasing news that he wanted to avenge the monk Xing. As a result, Embroidered Uniform Guard Battalion Commander Mei Qinghe arranged a duel with him on the summit of Mount Song, and beheaded him with a single sword!"

"And the Kunlun Sect, the Qingluan Gate—these major sects with Heaven-Man inheritances have all been wiped out! You—"

He wanted to use these events to make Li Miao retreat in the face of difficulty, his eyes fixed on Li Miao's face, trying to discern some fear and hesitation.

But the more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

This person... why was he not only not afraid, but instead becoming more spirited and happy the more he listened!

Beheadings! Exterminations!

Do you think I'm telling you a story? Show some fear!

Are you crazy!

How could he know Li Miao's thoughts.

Hearing outsiders praise his own "children" for being promising, how could he not be happy?

Oh, Tang Men, that must have been done by Xiao Anzi, right?

Heh, I wonder how many dirty tricks Bu Ying fell for in secret.

Little Mei must have used Sword Twenty-Three; beheading with one sword sounds quite powerful, but in reality, she probably couldn't even walk after using that sword... However, Wang Hai and Xiao Si definitely wouldn't let her go into a fair duel; they were probably hiding on the side, ready to use dirty tricks, so there's no need to worry.

Li Miao had truly been a hands-off manager for the past two years, throwing on a bear-skin cloak and leaving the capital, wandering around, not even looking at the intelligence reports of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If it were an ordinary yamen, the chief official "going AFK" for two years would have long since fallen into chaos. But the people under Li Miao were different; although they each had their own psychological problems—cunning, ruthless, vicious, and stupid—their abilities were all top-notch.

They really had shouldered the burden, never once disturbing Li Miao's "vacation."

Hearing this after two years, how could he not be happy?

The "automatic office" he had dreamed of for over twenty years had succeeded!

Seeing the County Magistrate's voice getting lower and lower, Li Miao smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Speak, the business about the Qingluan Gate and the Kunlun Sect."

"How were they killed, where were they killed, how many were killed. The details, the process."

"Why stop? I haven't heard enough."

The County Magistrate thought to himself, it's over.

This person is not only not afraid, but he's provoking me!

He doesn't want to hear a story at all; he's clearly saying, "What kind of bullshit Embroidered Uniform Guard, what kind of extermination—it's just a story to me!"

The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the reckless, the reckless fear those who don't fear death.

If this drags on for another moment and the main target doesn't arrive, I'm afraid I'll suffer a heavy blow!

He didn't dare to speak, thinking Li Miao would take his life at any moment.

But then he saw Li Miao smile and dust off his sleeves.

"Forget it, since you've said so much, it wouldn't be right for me not to give the Embroidered Uniform Guard some face."

"Let's not talk about surrendering without a fight."

"Since the Dengwen Drum has been sounded, shouldn't you, Master, ascend the hall to hear the case?"

Li Miao turned around leisurely and scanned left and right.

It looked like he was looking around randomly, but in fact, he was using his hearing to listen to the sounds inside those houses.

After a few breaths, he nodded, walked to the outside of a house, and punched the wall.

Bang. ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
