Li Xiucai chuckled and looked at the village chief with sarcastic eyes, "I almost forgot, you old guy, when I was with her, you were still unwilling. Don't you think I'm not worthy of your daughter? Now? Why are you holding me back again?"

The village chief was so angry that he covered his chest, his face turned pale, and his eyes rolled up.

After watching such a lively show, the dead man showed no reaction on his face. He remained cold and said, "Shut up and leave quickly. The adults are waiting for you."

Li Xiucai's face changed faster than turning the page in a book. He immediately changed his face to please the dead man and said:

"Okay, I wasted your time."

The village chief finally took a breath and took He Xiuer, who was crying silently with despair in his eyes, into his arms, and sighed heavily, "These are all debts!"

The villagers were more or less stained with blood, and they looked at Li Xiucai with numb eyes.

Li Xiucai thought these people were envious of him, and the smile on his face became more and more proud, as if he had forgotten that he had been beaten by Magistrate Cao long ago.

Walking in front of Magistrate Cao, Li Xiucai hurriedly approached Magistrate Cao and smiled flatteringly: "Sir, who are you looking for in Xiaohe Village? I have lived here for a long time and I know everyone. I can help you find it.”

Magistrate Cao gave him a contemptuous look and said calmly: "You just need to bring Zhao Zhizhi's family in front of me."

Li Xiucai immediately said: "I know where their home is, I will take you there."

Magistrate Cao shook his head and said: "When I arrived, I sent people to search their house, but there is no one in their house now, and almost all the necessary things have been moved. In such a short period of time, they also He might have run away, so there is only one possibility now, where else can you hide people in your village?"

Li Xiucai was stunned and didn't react for a long time. When he saw the angry look on Magistrate Cao's face, he stumbled and said, "I, I'm not very clear either."

After speaking, he reflexively shouted loudly before Magistrate Cao got angry:

"Although I don't know, the village chief definitely knows. No one knows the topography of the village better than him."

As soon as these words came out, all the village chiefs of Xiaohe Village unanimously cast angry looks at Li Xiucai.

Although the village head did not lead Xiaohe Village to prosperity, the villagers all have a deep-rooted idea in their hearts that as long as the village head does not make big mistakes, he is the destiny of the village.

However, no matter how angry they were, they would not dare to confront the dead soldiers holding blades. The final result would be to lose their lives in vain.

The village chief was dragged out amidst He Xiuer's hoarse cries and brought to Magistrate Cao.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I really didn't see Zhao Zhizhi, and I don't know where she went."

The village chief knelt on the ground and only said these words, saying nothing else.

Magistrate Cao's heart was darkened for a long time. With one look from him, the dead man kicked the village chief.

Not to mention a person as old as the village chief, even a young man in his prime could not withstand his kick.

The village chief screamed and fell to the ground, curling up and moaning on the ground.

Li Xiucai was so frightened by the brutality of the dead soldiers that he trembled and did not dare to fart, let alone plead for mercy.

He Xiuer wanted to rush over to save the village chief, but was held back by the villagers. He could only open his eyes wide and watch his father suffer.

He saw that the village chief was kicked again, perhaps this one kicked him in the heart. He vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then lay on the ground motionless.

Magistrate Cao spit on the ground and cursed angrily: "You useless old thing, what a bad luck."

"I know where Zhao Zhizhi is, sir, I know." He Xiuer didn't know where she got the strength. She couldn't break free from the shackles of the villagers, so she could only use her remaining strength to shout loudly.

Magistrate Cao had long lost his patience. After hearing this, he just waved to her like a puppy and motioned for her to come over.

Zhao Zhizhi walked over step by step. She first put her finger tremblingly under the village chief's nose, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the village chief's breathing.

Magistrate Cao looked at her with sarcasm in his eyes, "Your father is not dead. Tell me quickly, where is Zhao Zhizhi? If you don't tell me the reason, I will be rude to you."

He Xiuer laughed muffledly, her eyes already swollen from crying.

She suddenly looked at Li Xiucai who was squatting behind Magistrate Cao, pointed at him in his shocked eyes and said sternly: "My lord, it's him, he was the one who hid Zhao Zhizhi, he should be the one you should torture the most." .”

Magistrate Cao laughed angrily. He strode up to Zhao Zhizhi, slapped her hard, and cursed: "Can I be toyed with by you? One or two of them are ungrateful bastards. Really?" Don’t I dare to do anything to you as an official?”

He Xiuer's face turned to one side due to the slap, and it soon became swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bruised.

She turned back, her tone became a little calmer, and she lowered her eyes, not caring whether Magistrate Cao could hear what she said. She just said to herself: Sir, you don't know yet, why did Li Xiucai target Zhao Zhizhi? It's because he still has her in his heart. Before we got married, he pestered Zhao Zhizhi for a long time. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhizhi didn't like him.

She chuckled softly and continued: "Now that he finally got a chance to show off, he will definitely try his best to win her heart again. Everything the girl said is true. If you don't believe it, you can also ask other villagers. , they all know what happened between Li Xiucai and Zhao Zhizhi."

Magistrate Cao narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what He Xiuer said that made him angry and angry.

He didn't care whether what she said was true or not, and just ordered people to pull the frightened Li Xiucai to the front.

Only then did Li Xiucai react. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground. His body was trembling and he kept repeating: "Sir, she is lying. The villain did not hide Zhao Zhizhi. Sir, I am sincere to you. Please forgive me." Mingjian!"

He Xiuer looked at this timid man and realized her mistake for the first time. She felt that she was really blind to fall in love with him.

At this moment, she was extremely sober and sarcastically said to Li Xiucai: "You are so ridiculous. No wonder Zhao Zhizhi compares you to trash."

Facing Li Xiucai's angry and scarlet eyes, He Xiuer suddenly smiled and said: "You don't have to be angry. I was even more ridiculous back then and I still spoke for you."

County Magistrate Cao was not in the mood to watch them perform a tragic drama here, nor did he want to listen to Li Xiucai's heartfelt speech. He directly ordered people to press Li Xiucai to the ground.

Looking down at his painful face, he said slowly: "Li Xiucai, considering your efforts for me, I will give you one last chance to reveal Zhao Zhizhi's hiding place."
