First Volume, Chapter 1093: A Major Figure from Jingdu

Sun Yi froze solid, staring blankly at Qin Feng, a fear unlike any he'd ever known flooding his entire body.

Realizing Qin Feng would not spare him, Sun Yi wanted to cry but had no tears, cursing inwardly.

Damn Wang Chi—why did you pick someone else to provoke? Why did you have to go after Qin Feng? Now you've dragged me down with you.

Sun Yi lay flat on the ground, having lost even the courage to plead his case.

At that moment, hoofbeats came from beside him, accompanied by Qin Feng's emotionless voice.

"Do you want to live or die?"

How could Sun Yi dare hesitate? He stammered urgently: "I want to live!"

Qin Feng didn't waste words: "Go bring every person involved to the County Yamen. Since you lot of yamen runners only know to collude with Local Strongmen and never stand up for the Common People, I'll settle this case for you."

Under Qin Feng's lead, the Black Cavalry rode through the City Gate toward the County Yamen.

Sun Yi knelt on the ground, watching Qin Feng's back until it vanished completely beyond the City Gate, then finally snapped out of his terror.

He turned to the equally stunned yamen runners and roared hoarsely: "What are you all standing there for? Do you want to die?!"

"Go get every person involved and bring them all to the County Yamen!"

"Whoever it is! No matter their status!"

The yamen runners finally came to their senses and rushed into the city.

Sun Yi looked at Liu Yunqiu and swallowed hard, quickly helping her up, nervously saying: "Little girl, when we get to the yamen, remember: grudges have a source, debts have an owner—you must know who your real enemies are."

"We're just yamen runners—we're only following orders…"

"My life is in your hands."

To Common People, even a lowly yamen runner could decide their life or death—so this squad leader was practically "Heaven."

Yet right now, the County Squad Leader of Ming County was trembling with caution, speaking softly to Liu Yunqiu, as if he'd become someone else entirely.

Had she not witnessed it herself, Liu Yunqiu would never have believed any of this was real.

Recalling what had just happened, Liu Yunqiu finally realized: the upright magistrate who would champion the people had finally arrived in Ming County.

At that moment, voices from her fellow villagers called out from beside her.

"Qiu'er, come see your elder sister."

Hearing this, Liu Yunqiu's body tensed, and she rushed over to her elder sister, Liu Yunchun.

Liu Yunchun's wounds had already been bandaged by the Military Doctor; though she remained weak, her life was saved.

Liu Yunchun, just waking from unconsciousness, looked at her sister with confusion.

"Qiu'er, are you alright? Did the yamen runners beat you again?"

Seeing her sister's breath barely there, Liu Yunqiu burst into tears.

"Sister, we're saved—Lord Qin has come to save us."

Liu Yunchun's eyes were blank; as an ordinary Common Person, she had never heard of any "Lord Qin."

She thought Liu Yunqiu had been driven mad and whispered soothingly: "Qiu'er, while the yamen runners aren't watching, run away—whatever happens, I'll take the blame."

Liu Yunqiu cried harder, throwing her arms around Liu Yunchun: "Sister, it's true—Lord Qin has come to stand up for us!"

"He's the First Marquis Under Heaven—the most powerful man in all of Shedynasty."

"With Lord Qin here, no one will ever bully us again."

The villagers from Liu Family Village began chiming in.

"Chun'er, your sister's telling the truth—Lord Qin is a major figure from Jingdu, and he's decided to fight for our justice."

"And… Wang Chi is dead."

What?!

Liu Yunchun couldn't believe her ears, staring blankly at the villagers.

To Liu Yunchun, Wang Chi was the local emperor—even the County Magistrate obeyed him without question.

If Wang Chi coughed, the entire Ming County trembled.

Once such a powerful man turned his gaze on you, your family's ruin was already near.

Yet now, Liu Yunchun heard someone say Wang Chi was dead—her mind went foggy, unable to feel joy or shock.

Her younger sister, Liu Yunxia, wiped her tears and nodded firmly: "Wang Chi is dead! That bastard is finally dead!"

"Killed by Lord Qin's men like a chicken."

"He bullied us for so long—this is his just comeuppance."

Liu Yunchun looked down at her bandages and finally, reluctantly, believed this sudden good news.

Could miracles truly exist in this world?

At that moment, Sun Yi stepped forward—Liu Yunchun flinched instinctively, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Sun Yi quickly waved his hands: "Liu Family Elder Sister, don't be afraid—I was forced by the Wang Family's tyranny to send men to arrest your whole village."

"Lord Qin will fight for your justice!"

If even the County Squad Leader said that, Liu Yunchun's last doubts vanished.

First she was dazed, then she broke into tears of relief.

Suddenly, Liu Yunchun remembered something and asked anxiously: "What about my younger sister…?"

Sun Yi replied immediately: "Don't worry—since Liu Yunxia was forced into it, Lord Qin will stand up for her."

"The Wang Family ruled Ming County like a storm—but before Lord Qin, they're barely ants."

"If you still don't understand what kind of man Lord Qin is… let me put it this way: in all of Shedynasty, the only person more powerful than him is His Majesty."

"He stands just below the Emperor—above ten thousand others."

A man second only to His Majesty…

Liu Yunchun laughed loudly while weeping uncontrollably.

She no longer hesitated and quickly revealed her younger sister's hiding place: "Xia'er is hiding in our village's well; there's a hole inside the well, and few know about it…"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi immediately sent people to search for Liu Yunxia in Liu Family Village.

As for Liu Yunchun and Liu Yunxia, the two Sisters, and the people of Liu Family Village, all were taken into the city.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng was heading toward the County Yamen.

Along the Street, crowds of civilians lined the roadside, looking up at Qin Feng and whispering among themselves.

"Who is this? What an imposing presence!"

"Judging by his attire, he must be a Military Master—could he be a general from the Zhu Qu in the south?"

"Nonsense! My Comrade serves in Zhu Qu; those soldiers don't wear armor this refined!"

"True, this armor looks terrifying."

"Hahaha, stop guessing—just got word, Wang Chi is dead! This man is Qin Feng!"

The civilians gathered on the Street stared in stunned silence.

After a moment of dead silence, cries of shock erupted.

"What?! Wang Chi is dead!"
