Magistrate Cao ran out of patience and directly ordered Zhao Zhizhi to be arrested.

"Tie her hands and you take her away. If anything goes wrong, I'm the only one to ask questions."

He glanced at the dead soldier guarding Zhao Zhizhi with a half-smile, and could not hide his anger when he spoke.

After finishing speaking, he turned around again, his tone softened, and he said to Zhao Zhizhi hypocritically:

"I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring a prison car with me, so I had to let Miss Zhao run away down there."

Zhao Zhizhi knew that Magistrate Cao was deliberately punishing her. If she was a weak woman, she would have been crying from fear, and she might even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

Magistrate Cao indeed thought so. He also had darker thoughts in his heart. As long as Zhao Zhizhi began to surrender now, his subsequent goals could be easily achieved.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhizhi is not an ordinary woman. For her to succumb to Magistrate Cao, who is worse than a beast, would be more terrifying than death.

Zhao Zhizhi took the initiative to stretch out his hands, smiled slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, the county magistrate is so polite. Do you still need to consult the daughter of the people for their opinions on what you want to do?"

Magistrate Cao saw that she had no intention of surrendering, so he snorted coldly and said: "Miss Zhao is really brave, I admire her."

After saying that, he turned around and moved his fat body into the carriage.

Zhao Zhizhi was roughly tied up by someone's hands. The person got on the horse again, and she was led to lift her hand up suddenly. Her feet were unsteady and she almost fell to the ground.

It's not that she is weak, it's actually that her body has been raised to be extremely delicate during this period, and the rope surrounding her hand is very rough. In just this short time, the skin around her wrist has been rubbed red.

There must have been some discomfort at first. Zhao Zhizhi gritted his teeth secretly and successfully endured it.

"What are you doing!" The Zhao family's father and brother arrived a step late. When they saw this scene, their eyes widened with anger, their muscles bulged, and they wanted to rush forward and beat Zhao Zhizhi's tormentor.

Zhao Zhizhi turned around suddenly, panic flashed in his eyes.

She had specifically asked Zhao Yimu to go back and discuss a solution with the rest of the Zhao family. On the one hand, she wanted to hold him back so that she could come to rescue the villagers.

On the other hand, she thought that she would be fine no matter what. Even if she was unfortunately killed, as long as the Zhao family was still living well, it would not count as her visit to this world.

But she never thought that Zhao's father and brother would react so quickly and chase after her.

Magistrate Cao's voice came from the sedan, "Since they are all here, let's take them back together."

Zhao Zhizhi was shocked, turned around without thinking, and knelt down towards the sedan.

"Sir, this matter has nothing to do with my father and brother. They know nothing. Please enforce the law impartially and do not implicate innocent people."

There was silence in the sedan for a long time. It seemed that Zhao Zhizhi was very satisfied with Zhao Zhizhi's compromise at this moment, and finally agreed to her request.

Zhao Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, turned around, and stared at Zhao's father and brother calmly, with an extremely serious expression.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, don't follow me. Stay at home. If he comes back, tell him what happened today and he will come to find me."

Zhao Zhizhi said this deliberately. As long as she still had value, Magistrate Cao would not do anything to her.

As for Wei Shao, she was not worried at all. Magistrate Cao was no match for him, and Zhao Zhizhi had no doubts about his ability.

The Zhao family's father and brother looked at Zhao Zhizhi distressedly, clenching their fists and holding back.

They knew what Zhao Zhizhi said made sense, but no one could remain indifferent as they watched their relatives being taken away.

Fortunately, they finally restrained themselves and watched Zhao Zhizhi being led away with red eyes.

In just a short while, the skin on Zhao Zhizhi's wrist had been worn away.

Fortunately, Magistrate Cao was not moving too fast, otherwise she would not be able to run on four feet no matter how strong her body was.

By this time, Zhao Zhizhi was even more grateful to Wei Shao for training her. If her body had not strengthened, she would have been dragged to the ground and dragged along, either dead or disabled.

After finally persevering to the county seat, no matter how patient Zhao Zhizhi was, he was now a little unable to do what he wanted.

She was dragged behind the horse, her legs were as heavy as lead, and her hair was messy in the wind. She looked no different from a beggar on the roadside.

This appearance quickly attracted the attention of the people. They recognized Magistrate Cao's bicycle frame and did not dare to approach it. They only gathered around the roadside to watch.

This was also Magistrate Cao's vicious plan. He wanted Zhao Zhizhi to be watched by thousands of people and suffer both physical and mental torture.

But anyone with a weaker mind, even a man, cannot stand this kind of torture.

Zhao Zhizhi was so exhausted that he could only faintly hear a few murmurs of discussion.

"Who is that? Why is it so cruel to be dragged behind a horse?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, didn't you see that's Magistrate Cao's bicycle frame? This poor woman must have offended Magistrate Cao, so she was treated like this."

Although there were very few sounds she could hear, Zhao Zhizhi did not hear any ridicule in these sounds, and inexplicably got a little comfort from them.

Magistrate Cao's conduct is such that the people are well aware of it.

There is no attack now, it's just that the time has not come yet. If the court doesn't care about the matter, sooner or later, the people will be intolerable and attack Magistrate Cao and make him pay for his cruelty.

Magistrate Cao took Zhao Zhizhi directly back to his mansion.

Zhao Zhizhi looked around, already having a guess in his mind, but still asked:

"Why don't you take me to court for questioning?"

County Magistrate Cao has already had a way to deal with this kind of thing: "Your situation is special. Naturally, you cannot leave it outside, as it can easily be robbed. Don't worry, I will arrange a good place for you."

Zhao Zhizhi was pushed to the backyard. The soreness between her legs and the strong force on her back made it impossible for her to stand firm.

After another moment, she couldn't bear it and collapsed to the ground, lowering her head, minding her own business to regain her energy.

She is not a person with a particularly strong self-esteem. Since she can't hold on any longer, she can sit on the ground and rest. It doesn't matter what others think. Anyway, as long as her heart is still stable, it will be fine.

As soon as Magistrate Cao came to the backyard, a maid brought him a stool.

He sat in front and stared at Zhao Zhizhi mockingly, "I really don't understand why your daughter's family is so stubborn. They can obviously live a better life, but they insist on wading into this muddy water."

He leaned back and sighed comfortably, "Zhao Zhizhi, I didn't want to hurt you originally. You also know that I..."

Zhao Zhizhi didn't want to hear him say some disgusting words, so he interrupted:

"Since your Excellency won't let me be tried in court, where do you want to put me?"
