Chapter 429 - Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Cutting Off Your Dogs Head
Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Cutting Off Your Dog’s Head Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Cutting Off Your Dog’s Head “Fool, don’t be sad, I’m not leaving so soon, let’s wait a while longer, you can rest assured, I will come back.”
“Mhm!”
Gazing into Big Bull’s sincere, expressive eyes, recalling his constant protection and meticulous care towards her, Xuexue unconsciously nodded her head, her heart filled with trust in him.
“I will take care of the Qinger Building business, so you need not worry.”
He thought, since that dwarf thing had backers within the government office, if he didn’t take action himself, Xuexue, a powerless and insignificant farm girl, would definitely be at a disadvantage. Long Rui was very protective by nature, let alone when it came to Xuexue, the woman he had resolved to marry in this life. He wouldn’t allow her to suffer the slightest grievance–it would be strange if he didn’t have Long Yi step in to settle things with the county magistrate.
So this time, that dwarf was certainly doomed.
“Good!”
In the dead of night, the full moon hung high in the sky.
The streets of the County Town were deserted when suddenly, a short figure dashed towards the County Yamen like lightning.
In front of the County Yamen, the normally majestic and towering walls seemed like nothing to him. Light as a swallow, with a soft effort from his feet, he had already leaped into the Yamen.
Moving as if he knew the place well, he stopped in front of a room’s doorway and gently knocked.
“Who is it?”
The county magistrate’s voice came from inside.
At this Shichen, he had long since been asleep and was very annoyed at being woken up without reason.
“It’s me.”
The voice was hoarse and sharp, grating like a scraping iron pot, uncomfortable to hear.
Upon hearing this voice, the county magistrate trembled all over, hurriedly climbed out of bed, and without daring to open the door, asked with the utmost reverence through the door, “What are your orders, my lord?”
He knew the dwarf disliked being gazed upon by others, and he dared not cross paths with his blade.
Despite the dwarf’s strange appearance, the county magistrate was extremely wary of him and didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect. He still remembered the first night when the dwarf arrived at his residence; he had looked down on his queer appearance internally. Unfortunately, the dwarf was minutely observant and, upon seeing a trace of scorn on his face, flew into a rage, killing a servant with a strike and nearly ending his own life. Later, when he saw the Fourth Prince’s Token, he was so frightened that he nearly wet his pants, never again daring to feel the faintest hint of contempt.
“I’m asking you, did you take care of the matter I entrusted to you?”
“My lord, this official has done his best and has not found out yet.” Although he was in the room and the dwarf couldn’t see his actions, he was still kneeling on the ground with utmost respect.
“You are useless, a small place like Jingshan Town, and you can’t even find one man. Do you believe if you anger me, I would cut off your dog head and use it as a ball?”
