Li Guanfeng frowned.
The constable explained the matter to him. “He’s crazy. He eats everything.”
His hands were cuffed and his feet shackled, but it didn’t put him off trying to break free.
Li Guanfeng’s eyes darkened. This lunatic was a serious criminal with countless sins on him. If Xiaowu killed him, wouldn’t that be enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens? That way… she wouldn’t have to bear the sin of killing.
With a dark expression, Li Guanfeng left the prison. On his way out, he didn’t say a word, which made the constables feel very nervous.
In the past, though when it came to work, Wei Shilai was very strict with everyone, as long as one did what one was supposed to do, he wouldn’t make things difficult for them.
On the other hand, it hadn’t been long since Li Guanfeng took office, but he was already making everyone feel inexplicably nervous.
At night, Li Guanfeng could not fall asleep. All he could think about was asking Xiaowu to kill that lunatic who would be executed anyway. That way, she could stay with him longer.
Unable to sleep, Li Guanfeng got up to light the lamp and read the case files. He frowned.
One of the cases was about a mother pressing charges against her sons for not supporting her when she was no longer capable of working. Such a person deserved to die. They were nothing short of beasts.
Another case was about a man beating his wife to death. This kind of man deserved to die too.
The more Li Guanfeng looked at the cases, the darker his expression became. If these people died, Xiaowu could stay with him forever.
At some point, Xiaowu had come out of the bell. Looking at Li Guanfeng, she sighed. She blew out the candle and said, “Brother Li, stop looking at the files. Go to sleep.”
Li Guanfeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “Xiaowu, for my sake, don’t leave. Please.”
As long as Xiaowu killed these people who deserved to die, she could stay with him. This was the only way.
Li Guanfeng’s voice was deep and dangerous as he said, “Xiaowu, promise me, okay?”
It took a long while for Xiaowu to answer him. “Brother Li, I can’t. I don’t want to. I’ll let go. Can you let go too?”
Li Guanfeng said almost immediately, “No, I won’t allow you to let go. They deserve to die in the first place. They’re simply beasts. You kill them just to uphold justice. Xiaowu, you’re not committing a crime but doing a good deed.”
Xiaowu trembled in pain. She wanted to hold Li Guanfeng in her arms. She tried countless times only to end up passing through his body. She tried her best to hold back her sadness. “Brother Li, don’t lie to yourself, okay?”
Li Guanfeng asked her in a voice choked with emotions. “Xiaowu, what do you want me to do?”
He didn’t want her to disappear, but what else could he do? If he could, he would give her his life. He just wanted her to stay with him.
Li Guanfeng felt his heart bleed. She was still around, but he was already on the verge of collapse. What would happen to him if she was gone?
Li Guanfeng let out a long sigh. “You said the Heavens have mercy, but where is the mercy? Huh?”
Holding back her tears, Xiaowu returned to the bell.
After Wei Shilai and his family set off for the capital, the backyard belonged to Li Guanfeng, but he had never lived there.
In just half a month, the prison of the government office was filled with criminals.
The constables were full of complaints. No one in the government office was idle. They were always on the go to arrest people.
On the streets, the commoners were trembling in fear when they saw the constables passing by, afraid that they would be captured too.
Everyone from the poorest to the richest was complaining.
Liu Sanniang had been at home during this period of time. When Madam Wei returned at night, she did not look happy. Mr. Liu could not help but ask with concern. “What’s wrong?”
Madam Wei sighed and looked at her daughter. “Sanniang, do you know this new magistrate?”
Liu Sanniang said, “I know him a little.”
Madam Wei drank two glasses of water before speaking again. “He’s crazy. Someone dining at the restaurant was arrested because of starting an argument…”
With the government doing this, many shop owners were terrified. For a time, business plummeted and everyone was in a panic.
Madam Wei sighed and hit Liu Erlang with her chopsticks. “Erlang, be careful when you go out. Don’t get into a fight and get caught.”
Liu Erlang nodded. “Okay, Mom.”
Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang. “Dalang, you too.”
Liu Dalang nodded. “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”
Madam Wei was still worried. “I don’t think we should go out for the time being. Let’s wait for a few days. Otherwise, I’d feel uneasy.”
Although Li Guanfeng was clearly asserting his authority as the new magistrate, what he’d been doing was a little too much as it made people feel uneasy all the time.
Mr. Liu smiled. “You’re over worried. We didn’t do anything wrong. Why should we be worried? Don’t scare yourself.”
Liu Sanniang also said, “Mother, Father is right. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
Madam Wei sighed. “I hope so. If they arrest my son for no reason, I’ll go and smash the government building.”
Liu Sanniang quickly poured water for Madam Wei. “Mother, calm down. Drink some water.”
Madam Wei felt that she was quite beside herself today and indeed needed to calm down.
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang. There was a hint of black aura showing on their faces, which was not good.
Liu Sanniang did not say anything because she was worried that Madam Wei would be even more worried.
However, the next day, she privately reminded Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang not to argue with anyone or get into a fight.
Liu Erlang and Liu Dalang nodded.
Liu Dalang was going to help Tang An plow the land today.
Liu Erlang followed Mr. Liu to plow their own land. After the new year, the land needed to be plowed to get ready for new crops.
On his way out of the town, Liu Dalang met a big group of constables. He looked at the person riding the horse in the lead. That person was wearing an official’s uniform and there was no smile on his face.
Li Guanfeng gave the crowd a sweeping glance until his eyes landed on Liu Dalang. He retracted his gaze asked in a low voice. “Ligui, is that person Liu Sanniang’s brother?”
Ligui nodded. “Yes, he’s Miss Liu’s eldest brother, Liu Dalang.”
Li Guanfeng’s eyes darkened. “Why is he leaving the town?”
Ligui replied. “He’s already engaged. He’s going to help his fiancée plow the land.”
Li Guanfeng raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “Aren’t we going to Tang Village today too? What a coincidence.”
‘Liu Sanniang, if you don’t help me, I’ll force you to help me.’
