The cold blade pressed against Yang Su's neck, and Gao Hu raised his voice: "Stop it!"

Gao Hu's voice echoed throughout the bandit village.

"Master! Master!"

When the bandit men saw this scene, they shouted excitedly.

The county magistrate was coerced, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to take action anymore and put down their weapons one after another.

Although Yang Su was defeated and had a knife pressed against his neck, he didn't think Gao Hu dared to hurt him.

Gao Hu, a bandit, does not have to die now, but if he kills the county magistrate, then the entire bandit village, old and young, will not be able to survive!

He thought well that the blade in Gao Hu's hand could cut his throat with just force, but he tightened his grip on the handle and refused to do anything.

In Yang Su's eyes, Gao Hu now looked like he hated him deeply and couldn't do anything.

In fact, Gao Hu recalled the explanation given by his second brother before Nanyue left the village...

He took a deep breath, his voice was hoarse, and said to the officers and soldiers: "Yang Su is in my hands! Get away!"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion, waiting for Yang Su, who was being held hostage, to speak out.

"Gao Hu, what do you want?" Yang Su asked.

Gao Hu did not answer him. He shouted at the officers and soldiers again: "Go and call your county magistrate! Let him bring gold and silver in exchange! And...and..."

"And let us leave safely, or I will kill Yang Su!"

Gao Hu looked like he was being forced to blush.

A glint flashed in Yang Su's eyes. He made a mistake before and was coerced by Gao Hu. He thought they had some good ideas.

But it’s normal to think about it. The gangster was forced into a desperate situation and just wanted to make a last profit and run away with the gold and silver.

Do they want the county magistrate to come?

Just right.

When the time comes, the county magistrate will bring someone over.

Pretend to let them go, and then catch them all.

Yang Su randomly named a few people among the officers and soldiers, "You guys, go back to the county magistrate and tell him the situation."

The county magistrate has followed him for many years and knows what he will do.

The county magistrate must not die.

The officers and soldiers had no choice but to guard the bandits' stronghold and wait for the county magistrate to bring his people over.

……

The county magistrate, who had followed Yang Su for many years, was now following the young man.

Nan Yue asked someone to count Yang Su's embezzled items, while she went to the county government office and looked through the documents.

Even these things can only be handled by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate did not dare to let go of anything. Instead, he rushed back and forth to find what the young man needed.

Nanyue read it at a glance. They were all cases handled by Yang Su, most of which were trivial matters.

As long as she found something wrong, she would let the county magistrate write it down. It could be as minor as stealing, or as serious as murder or arson.

Anyway, no matter how big or small the crime is, as long as it is biased, it is a piece of evidence.

Little by little, I don’t think that the accumulation of so many years is enough to drink a pot.

The county magistrate secretly wiped his sweat. With so many cases and all the wrongdoings written down, plus a few serious crimes, all the high-ranking officials in Chaoge must be removed from their positions.

He was not an honest official, but Yang Su was there to support him.

Basically, Yang Su eats meat and he drinks some soup.

Now the county magistrate is just glad that he didn't go as far as Yang Su did.

Just when he was racking his brains to think about how to take it out cleanly...

Someone broke into the county government office.

"Master Guo! Master Guo! Something happened to the county magistrate!"

Hearing being called "sir" again, the county magistrate actually felt tears filling his eyes.

He stayed down next to the boy for more than two hours, and it felt like half a year had passed.

Mainly because there is too much pressure.

He cleared his throat and was about to reprimand, "In a panic..."

Halfway through, he saw the young man sitting upright out of the corner of his eye.He quickly bent down and said with a smile on his face, "Sir, it seems that the county magistrate... something happened to Yang Su."

Nanyue said expressionlessly, "I heard it."

The county magistrate smiled awkwardly and looked at the sky outside. It was already evening, and Yang Su hadn't come back from suppressing the bandits yet.

Seeing that the young man had no intention of asking, he straightened his expression and asked the officers and soldiers who came in, "What happened?"

The officers and soldiers knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and told the story honestly...

Including the traps encountered along the way, as well as Gao Hu's requirements.

After hearing this, the county magistrate said angrily: "This is unreasonable! These gangsters dare to hold the county magistrate hostage! They are really brave!"

In the county magistrate's opinion, it is not yet certain whether Yang Su really colluded with King Xiqing. It was just that Emperor Ning wanted to punish him.

But those gangsters really affected Qixian and killed wealthy businessmen.

When Yang Su faced a gangster, it was natural that the gangster was more hateful.

He looked at the young man, "Sir?"

Nanyue put down the file in her hand and raised her eyebrows, "What does the county magistrate want to do?"

The county magistrate was most afraid that she would ask him questions, and his head began to sweat again. He thought about it, and answered honestly: "Help, save people."

After a pause, he hurriedly added, "Yang Su is still the county magistrate now. No matter what Yang Su has done, and the charges have not yet been submitted, at least he will die on the execution ground, not in the hands of gangsters."

Nan Yue nodded slightly and glanced at him again, "Why don't you quickly arrange the manpower and prepare to go up the mountain."

It was almost dark, and the county magistrate did not expect Chu Yu to be such a decisive person.

He responded and was about to go out when he heard the young man's voice again.

"By the way, I'll go too."

The county magistrate didn't dare to object, so he quickly made arrangements for fear of being slow.

……

It's late autumn, and it's windy and cold at night.

Gao Hu tied up Yang Su and escorted him into the woodshed.

The bandits also entered the house.

Only the officers and soldiers of Qixian County reported tremblingly to guard the bandit stronghold.

The officers and soldiers were a little aggrieved. They were supposed to be suppressing bandits. They were several times more numerous than the bandits. As a result, not only did they encounter various traps along the way, but now they had to fight the cold wind in the wilderness.

I have eaten a meal at noon and have not yet had any water or rice.

They were now hungry, cold and tired.

When the moon reached its zenith, someone finally saw some fire.

"someone is coming!"

"It's the county magistrate! The county magistrate has brought people over!"

The officers and soldiers were surprised and happy.

They thought no one would come until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

When the person got closer, he realized it was a strange and handsome young man.

The county magistrate was walking behind him, coming out of the city late at night. He was panting from climbing the mountain and had no energy to speak at all.

The young man was still in high spirits, "Where is Yang Su?"

The officers and soldiers didn't know who he was, but seeing the county magistrate walking behind him, they thought he had some identity.

So they all got out of the way, allowing Nanyue and the county magistrate to enter the bandit camp...

Gao Hu heard the noise and came out of the house.

He was carrying a big knife and looked fierce.

He glanced at the young man, his cheeks twitched unnaturally, and the scar on his face also twitched, which was very scary.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was still wiping his sweat and asked, "Are you the Magistrate of Qixian County?"

Without waiting for the county magistrate's reply, he raised his chin and asked angrily: "Come here so quickly, have you brought what I want?"

After saying that, the big knife on his shoulder fell hard, and the tip of the knife was inserted into the ground.

The county magistrate just breathed a sigh of relief when he was frightened by this evil bandit and turned pale.

He is a man of letters and has never seen such a battle.
