After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 116 Something is wrong

Li Jiang came to Tongzhou this time mainly to find help from the Tongzhou magistrate. Since Mu Zhengbai said so, he thought about it for a while and agreed.

"Go to Zhizhou Capital!" He turned around and ordered to the group of officials behind him.

With Li Jiang's order, their original plan to find a nearby inn to rest was ruined. When the extremely tired prisoners saw Mu Zhengbai's appearance as if he was asking for credit, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth. However, it was also hindered by the fact that his father-in-law was from Tongzhou. Zhizhou, it is not easy to offend him for the time being.

For them, there is not much difference between staying in an inn and staying in Zhizhou Mansion. They have to walk more and more tiring.

The group of people walked vigorously for more than half an hour, and finally arrived in front of the Zhizhou Mansion.

When the gatekeepers of the Zhizhou Mansion saw such a large group of people approaching, they immediately showed a vigilant look. With a crisp "clang" sound, the entire pair of patrolling guards drew their swords and stared at them with evil eyes.

"Who!?" The leader of the guard held a gleaming sword in his hand. His eyes swept over them one by one, and when he saw the completely unfamiliar faces, he asked coldly.

Li Jiang took a step forward, with a solemn expression, and handed over the official badge in his hand.

"We are escort officers, asking to see Zhang Zhizhou."

After carefully looking at the official badge, the cold expression of the guard leader softened slightly, and he put away the long sword in his hand.

"It's midnight, Master Zhizhou has already taken a rest. The Zhizhou Mansion won't receive anyone, please go back."

The leader of the guard had a particularly tough attitude, and his tone was quite polite, but his expression clearly indicated that he was not welcoming.

Li Jiang had no choice but to force it, not to mention that he didn't want to offend Zhang Zhizhou at the moment.

Just when he was about to order everyone to find a nearby inn to rest, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Mu Zhengbai straightened his back, walked forward with dignity, looked at the head guard, and said hello: "I am Mu Zhengbai, uncle of your Lord Zhizhou. Go to the mansion and announce that I am Mu Zhengbai." coming!"

As if he felt that his name was a great honor, he emphasized his name with a strong accent.

The head guard didn't seem to believe it at all, and looked at Mu Zhengbai suspiciously. After a moment, he still shook his head, with a fierce look on his face, and said in retreat: "Our Lord Zhizhou has never mentioned that there is a person coming from afar. Brother-in-law, get out of here! Don’t disturb our adults’ rest!”

Mu Zhengbai's originally decent face was bruised and bruised beyond recognition, and his whole body was dusty. Naturally, what he said had no credibility.

Hearing these words, there was a faint taunting sound from the prisoners behind, which made Mu Zhengbai's face turn red with embarrassment and he stared fiercely at the expressionless head guard.

"Bang!" The guard leader once again drew out his sword with a cold light. Mu Zhengbai's face turned pale with fright, and he did not dare to say any more words.

The whole team walked for half an hour to get here, but they couldn't get any benefit at all, so they had to leave in despair.

Li Jiang gave the order to return to the original route and find a nearby inn to rest, and the officials also complained.

"Crack!" A clear whip sound sounded loudly, and an official swung the whip suddenly, and it fell on Mu Zhengbai.

"Ouch!" Mu Zhengbai screamed in pain, and there was a fresh whiplash on his already scarred arm.

"Don't make any bad ideas next time! You see, the governor of the state will not recognize you, a shabby uncle!" The official whipped his whip fiercely, forced out a breath of anger, and gave a stern warning.

Many of the prisoners had bad tempers. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They could have rested half an hour ago, but now it had delayed their rest for half an hour.

Someone was the first to secretly punch Mu Zhengbai. Immediately, many prisoners dispersed and took turns punching and kicking him, venting all their anger on him.

Seeing this scene of fighting, the group of officials just turned a blind eye. After all, they were also holding back their anger.

Seeing that the officers did not stop him, the prisoners became even more ruthless, beating Mu Zhengbai until his whole body was filled with pain and he kept wailing.

It wasn't until Li Jiang stopped him that the prisoners stopped. Before they dispersed, someone stepped on Mu Zhengbai's chest in anger.

Mu Zhengbai lay on the ground and wailed a few times. Apart from the injuries all over his body, he was not beaten too much. After all, none of them could afford to beat someone to death.

He lay on the ground and twitched a few times, closed his eyes and gasped for air. He was still muttering begging words such as "stop fighting" in his mouth, and it seemed that he had not recovered yet.

Seeing Mu Zhengbai's erect appearance, Aunt Zong covered her daughter's eyes, widened her eyes in surprise, looked at Ruan He beside her, and asked softly: "Is he... okay?"

Mu Yunchao saw him lying on the ground unable to get up for a while, and felt a little worried for a moment. After all, he was his own father, so he couldn't really watch him being beaten to death.

"Sister-in-law, this..."

He was a little hesitant to step forward and lend a hand, but subconsciously looked at Ruan He aside and asked tentatively.

These days, Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He, the couple, have long become the backbone of their family.

"He is very well. He just suffered a little physical pain. He can't die from just a scratch." Ruan He spread his hands helplessly and said lightly.

This Mu Zhengbai was really good at pretending. After being beaten for a while, he acted like he was about to die.

"Get up if you're not dead! If you don't get up, you'll sleep on the street tonight." Wang Xiaoer came over, kicked Mu Zhengbai who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and threatened him.

Mu Zhengbai was kicked again in vain, and he let out a cry of pain. When he heard the footsteps of the prisoners, he hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly followed the team.

His movements were quite crisp and neat, and there was no trace of his half-dead look just now. He was afraid that he would be left behind and really want to sleep on the street here.

Fortunately, the nearest inn was not far from the Zhizhou Prefecture. They only walked for a while and saw an inn in the distance.

The inn looked a bit shabby and narrow, and seemed a bit out of place in this bustling Zhizhou. However, after walking all day, they really couldn't care too much and entered the inn directly.

There are many mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries around, and they are particularly luxurious, which makes this inn look very shabby. It must have been in operation for many years, so it has been maintained.

This inn is really deserted. The door of the inn is wide open. Looking inside, there is only an innkeeper and a waiter sitting there.
