After retiring from the engagement, God of War was criticized crazily for him to be soft and hard Chapter 262 Seems to be more concerned about the bandit chief
Chapter 262 Seems to be more concerned about the bandit chief
The secret guard failed to catch up with the person who appeared out of thin air, so he returned to the brothel and stayed there until dawn, then followed the lazy Zhou Mo back to the inn.
Mo Jingyu happened to finish breakfast, and the secret guard reported the details of last night. He said "hmm" without emotion, ordered them to continue staring, and then went to the county government office.
At three o'clock in the morning, the gate of the county government office was closed. Lin Yu beat the grievance drum. After waiting for half an hour, the county magistrate Ma Ping came to the hall in disheveled clothes.
He is young, with a short and lean build, and his facial features are fairly straight, but his eye sockets are sunken, and there are years of black spots under his eyelids. One look at him and he can tell that he is someone who has been immersed in the love of men and women for a long time.
Ma Ping looked like he had not woken up. He held up his black gauze hat, yawned and asked, "Who plays the drums?"
Lin Yu said: "Sir, we are ordinary people."
The county magistrate rubbed his eyes, and his attention was first attracted to Mo Jingyu.
Seeing him staring straight at him with a secretive look in his eyes, a chill ran down Ma Ping's back for no apparent reason, causing him to wake up from his drowsiness and subconsciously want to run away.
Then I thought that he was now the county magistrate, the largest official in Huaqing County. He propped up his buttocks and fell back on the chair, clearing his throat: "Ahem, what grievances do you have?"
Lin Yu replied: "The grassroots are businessmen from the south. They passed through Huaqing County and met bandits on the way. Not only were their belongings taken away, but two servants were also killed. I want you to make the decision."
Ma Ping couldn't help but lean forward when he heard the word "bandit". After hearing this, he quickly asked: "Are there any casualties among the bandits?"
Lin Yuxin said nonsense: "The servants of the grassroots were unable to compete with the bandits. They ran for their lives all the way. On the way, they met a group of brave knights who fought for justice. They fought with the bandits. About ten of those bandits died."
Ma Ping was shocked: "What?! Who are the dead?"
Lin Yu said calmly: "The common people don't know, they only vaguely heard someone calling 'Brother Zheng'."
Ma Ping blurted out: "Wang Zheng? He is dead?"
Lin Yu nodded.
Ma Ping's face changed drastically and he murmured to himself: "Brother Zheng is dead, what should I do..."
His voice was low, but Lin Yu and Mo Jingyu were both martial arts practitioners and had keen hearing, so they heard his words word for word.
Mo Jingyu's face turned cold: "Compared to the people who were robbed, you seem to care more about the bandit leader."
The calm voice made Ma Ping's hair stand on end. He looked at the man in the wheelchair and felt strong uneasiness in his heart.
For no reason, he thought of the news he had learned earlier - King Qi personally went to Ruicheng to suppress the bandits.
King Qi fought in his early years and his legs were disabled. This is known to the world. The man in front of him happened to be inconvenient. Could it be that he is King Qi?
No! Impossible!
The letter from Fei Ge received a few days ago said that King Qi's old illness has relapsed and he needs to stay in Jincheng for half a month. It is impossible for him to come so soon.
However, the bandits arranged to intercept and kill King Qi's team outside Huaqing County. To this day, not a single word has been sent back, which makes Ma Ping think more.
He was anxious and uneasy, and said perfunctorily: "I know this, so you can go back first."
Master Mo Jingyu and his servant were not surprised at all.
Ma Ping didn't bother to distinguish the expressions on their faces. After saying this, he hurried out of the hall.
For him, the top priority is to confirm whether Wang Zheng is really dead.
Wang was the leader of the interception team and the man who commanded the bandits in Huaqing County. He was highly skilled in martial arts. If he was really dead, it could only be because King Qi's men had arrived in Huaqing County and the two sides had a head-on confrontation.
It's hard to say, but the chivalrous people in the hall are people from King Qi.
As a result, the previous letter sent by flying pigeons cannot be true, and the matter of King Qi recuperating in Jincheng is even more open to question.
Ma Ping couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought that King Qi might have been secretly under his nose.
Lin Yu watched him run away and asked for instructions: "Master, what should I do next?"
Mo Jingyu twirled his neat sleeves: "Just wait and wait."
