Chapter 430: Chapter 429: The Heart of a Saint, It Will Kill Your Own People

"You must be mistaken, Lady Xiaoliu is such a gentle and kind-hearted child, why would she kill you?" was Hao Ren’s first thought.

Hearing the County Magistrate compliment her, Yan Lingzhen smiled cutely and nodded her head toward the magistrate as a greeting.

As for the fat man, he was directly stunned.

Gentle and kind-hearted?

The fat man covered his cheek, which was still aching.

"Sir, could you have possibly made a mistake? In what way is this little wretch gentle and kind-hearted?!"

Hearing these disrespectful words from the thug, Hao Ren frowned, "Don’t be rude! Apologize to Lady Xiaoliu at once!"

After all, this was Princess Anping’s younger sister, did he have the gall to accuse her of being lowly?

His mouth really ought to be scrubbed clean in a toilet.

The moment the fat man heard Hao Ren’s words, he got furious, "Well, well, now I understand why this little wretch is so bold, daring to lay hands on me in broad daylight, so it turns out County Magistrate Hao, you are their protector."

"No wonder, so the reason Qin Dong is currently locked up in the Governor’s Office’s dungeon is because you, Hao Ren, want to swallow up Tianxiang Gambling House!"

He deliberately shouted loudly, and the looks everyone turned towards him were filled with doubt and malice.

Hao Ren’s square face almost twisted with anger.

"Scoundrel! What nonsense are you making up?!"

"Where have I made anything up? If those sisters hadn’t become your honored guests behind the curtains, why would you treat that little wretch with such regard?! Everyone saw it, she and the black-clothed person beside her, they just tried to take my life!"

The fat man clung to what he saw as a handle and refused to let go.

Facing everyone’s scrutiny, the fat man felt that now he had a hold over the County Magistrate, he was incomparably majestic, more than he had ever been in his life!

"Do you know the crime of framing an Imperial Court official?" Hao Ren said sternly.

The fat man snorted coldly, "What’s the crime, if not what you decide to say it is? You’re the County Magistrate, this Governor’s Office belongs to you, the whole Luzhou County is yours, County Magistrate Hao, such great authority you wield!"

Such annoying nonsense!

Hao Ren felt like he was getting a headache from all the uproar.

He immediately ordered his men to take the fat man away, "Take him back to the Governor’s Office!"

It was only after being seized that the fat man started to panic, "My lord, I spoke out of turn, I was just raving mad, please be magnanimous and forgive my minor offense, spare me!"

"Take him away!" Hao Ren didn’t even want to see this damned fat man anymore.

The government officers took the fat man away.

Hao Ren walked over to Yan Lingzhen, casting a wary glance at the Ghost Hand standing behind her, "You are unharmed, aren’t you, Lady Xiaoliu?"

Yan Lingzhen withdrew her cold gaze from the fat man.

What a pity.

This fat man had such a big stroke of luck.

If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the County Magistrate, she would have shown the fat man what it meant to be insignificant.

Just because he was a thug, didn’t mean he could say whatever he liked without consequences.

"Thank you for your concern, County Magistrate Hao, I am unharmed," Yan Lingzhen said coldly.

Hao Ren took it to heart.

Hadn’t he just helped Lady Xiaoliu by taking the thug away?

Why was Lady Xiaoliu speaking to him in such a tone?

Could it be that he had handled the situation improperly?

Hao Ren was utterly confused.

At this moment, Yan Lingzhen had already started walking towards the interior of Tianxiang Gambling House.

Everyone had just witnessed her move, and with a Martial Arts expert as her escort, they dared not underestimate her anymore.

Arriving before the shopkeeper, she said, "Shopkeeper, you saw everything clearly this time, didn’t you?"

"Saw clearly, saw everything clearly," the shopkeeper hurriedly nodded in agreement.

This County Magistrate Hao is helping this girl, she must be someone with a significant background.

Yan Wanqing let out a cold snort, her voice lowered.

"For today’s account, consider yourselves lucky. With County Magistrate Hao here, otherwise according to my temperament, you wouldn’t be left dead but you definitely would be skinned alive."

As she spoke, Ghost Hand happened to block Hao Ren’s view.

Yan Lingzhen finished speaking with her gaze icily fixed on the shopkeeper, "Remember, just because it isn’t time for retribution doesn’t mean it won’t come."

Anyone who likes to joke about a woman’s body is the scum of society!

Seeing the look of terror in the shopkeeper’s eyes, she stretched out her hand to pat his arm, "Let’s go, shopkeeper!"

The powder splattered into the air and quickly entered their bodies with their breath.

The crowd, unaware, looked on with awe as they saw off Yan Lingzhen and County Magistrate Hao.

Little did they know that for at least the next seven days, these people would all be confined to their beds.

Yan Lingzhen had no intention of taking their lives.

But ill-intentioned people always have to pay a price, right?

The heart of a saint is one that ends up harming one’s own people.

Having watched so many movies and dramas, Yan Lingzhen was deeply inspired.

Then she visited several Tianxiang Gambling Houses, and while she ran into some problems, they were all promptly resolved by Ghost Hand by her side.

Yan Lingzhen increasingly felt that being nice only gave these people the chance to take advantage of her.

What kind of good people can be obsessed with gambling houses?

She should have called for Ghost Hand earlier, confront those who were disobedient, and slammed their heads against the wall, hard!

To make them obediently submit!

"Well done!" Coming out of the last Gambling House, Yan Lingzhen didn’t skimp on her praise for Ghost Hand, "When I return, I’ll tell my brother-in-law that you were incredibly helpful. I’ll make sure you get a few more drumsticks in your meals from now on!"

Under the mask, Ghost Hand’s complexion reddened slightly, "Thank you, Lady Xiaoliu."

"Mhm!" Yan Lingzhen, having accomplished her mission perfectly, was exceedingly happy, "Let’s go, we’re heading back."

This time, eldest sister would surely praise her.

She, Yan Xiaoliu, either never took action or when she did, it would be earth-shattering!

To reward herself, Yan Lingzhen bought a huge pile of snacks, both large bags and small.

Ghost Hand followed behind her, his arms full and barely managing to hold everything.

His hands had taken many lives and were stained with much blood.

Such an ordinary task of following behind the young lady, carrying packets, was something he had never done before.

Ghost Hand couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.

But Lady Xiaoliu was very generous and even invited him to share the food.

"Thank you for your kind offer, young lady," Ghost Hand thought about it but still declined.

Yan Lingzhen frowned, "Are you looking down on me, Yan Xiaoliu?!"

"Of course not!" Ghost Hand quickly clarified.

"In that case, I know your rules; you can’t show your face before strangers. I’ll share with you," she said, splitting the snacks in half and placing one portion in Ghost Hand’s hands: "This half is for you, the other half is for me. Then later we can discuss which place has the tastiest snacks and buy more from there, how does that sound?"

Looking into Yan Lingzhen’s clear eyes, something in Ghost Hand’s heart softened.

The words of outright refusal that should have come easily suddenly couldn’t be uttered.

"Then thank you, Lady Xiaoliu."

Yan Lingzhen’s face beamed with joy, "That’s more like it! We are all brothers after all! Shared blessings!"

With so many snacks, if she brought them back, she might be reprimanded by her fifth sister, ears yanked and all.

Luckily, someone was sharing with her!

Hehe!
