Chapter 80: Zhou Qing is imprisoned, Shen Bai is angry (please subscribe)
In the dim environment, after the wooden door shattered, the sunlight from outside shone in. Under the sunlight, the fear in Grandma Zhang and Xiaoxue's eyes grew more and more.

Grandma Zhang perked up and said tremblingly, "Who are you? No, you are from the government. We haven't offended the government, nor have we done anything wrong."

Xiaoxue was shivering in Grandma Zhang's arms, her only arm holding Grandma Zhang's clothes tightly, her little hands were pale.

Yang, the lawyer, laughed heartily, gently stroking his goatee with his hand. The laughter gradually turned into a sneer. "Zhang Amei, you are suspected of transporting intelligence from Shengyun County to other places. Today, we have investigated and the evidence is conclusive. Come with me back to the county government office to face charges."

As soon as these words were spoken, Grandma Zhang's eyes widened and she stumbled to her knees.

"Sir, please make it clear that we haven't had any contact with the rebel army since that incident. We are just honest civilians, and we are also pariahs. It is impossible for us to bring out any intelligence!"

Master Yang waved his hand calmly: "The evidence is irrefutable, there's nothing more to say. Take him away first!"

The two constables looked at each other, stepped forward and pulled Xiaoxue from Grandma Zhang's arms.

Seeing this, Grandma Zhang summoned up the courage from nowhere. She trembled and got up from the ground and grabbed the arm of a constable: "No, the child is still young, you can't do this. Take me away, take me away, please..."

"Get out of here!" The constable waved his hand impatiently.

With a huge force, Grandma Zhang fell to the ground. After rolling on the ground for several times, she suddenly vomited blood.

She is already old, and to have survived to this day in this era, she must have been riddled with injuries.

Now, after being pushed by the constable, all of Grandma Zhang's old illnesses broke out. Her face immediately turned pale, and she spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Her face, as white as paper, was now covered with bruises.

"No, please."

Grandma Zhang crawled on the ground using her hands and feet, came to the constable's feet, and grabbed the constable's trouser leg tightly.

The constable chuckled and kicked Grandma Zhang over again: "What a lowly person, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of this constable."

After this kick, Grandma Zhang rolled on the ground a few times and could no longer lift her head.

Blood flowed on the ground, and the life in Grandma Zhang's eyes gradually disappeared.

Before she died, Grandma Zhang stretched out her arms and tried to crawl forward.

Seeing this, another constable stepped forward to check and said, "Master, she's dead."

Master Yang waved his hand, holding his nose. "She's dead, so let's just say she resisted the officers and committed suicide out of guilt. Take this little girl back with you. Also, immediately send a few officers to arrest Zhou Qing and accuse him of colluding with the families of these two rebels."

"Yes!" The two constables responded quickly.

Xiaoxue looked at Grandma Zhang's lifeless body, her big eyes were dull and a look of despair and sadness was born in her eyes.

She trembled her weak body, struggled and cried, trying to get closer, but was grabbed by the throat by the constable.

"Behave yourself, little girl. You are a family member of a rebel and a pariah. Don't force me to make you suffer."

"Bad guy, bad guy!" Xiaoxue struggled hard.

But how could a little kid escape from the constable's hands? Soon, he was dragged away by the constable in despair.

Master Yang looked back at the dilapidated cabin and said to another constable, "Make it look more like the real thing, got it?"

The constable nodded quickly and began to make arrangements.

Soon, Master Yang and the constable left the room together.

……

Shen's pawnshop.

After Shen Bai came back, he started to practice the Xuanxin Curse and went out to eat in the middle.

The day passed quickly in this regular life.

When the sun rose the next day, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of water to relieve his slightly dry mouth.

The magical power of Xuanxin Curse does not consume much energy and blood, but it does require a lot of mouthfeeling.

Fortunately, Shen Bai reaped a lot of rewards from his hard work that day.

A line of smoke appeared before my eyes and condensed into words.

[Xuanxin Curse +300]

During this day and night, my proficiency increased a lot.

This was during the day, and Shen Bai wasted some time to visit Xiaoxue.

"Just another day."

Shen Bai stretched, walked out the door, and went to the street to have a meal.

The street remained the same as usual.

The owner of the breakfast shop had long been accustomed to Shen Bai coming to eat, and according to the old rules, he served Shen Bai breakfast.

Shen Bai was thinking while eating.

"Tomorrow is the day Qin Shuang returns. I don't know what surprises she will bring me."

Before leaving, Qin Shuang said that she would give him a big surprise when she came back.

Shen Bai was very curious about Qin Shuang's identity and was also wondering what the surprise was.

After breakfast, Shen Bai planned to go back and continue to improve his proficiency in the Xuan Xin Curse.

After upgrading this magical power to level 4 as soon as possible, he also needs to work hard to improve his proficiency in Shadow Walk and Divine Travel of Hundred Miles.

But unexpectedly, Shen Bai had just stood up when he saw several people passing by.

The people were still chatting as they passed by.

"Have you heard? Something big happened in the government office."

"What's going on? I went out to buy groceries this morning and haven't heard anything."

"It's Constable Zhou Qing from the government office. He seems to have colluded with the families of the rebels and was arrested for passing intelligence outside." "What, Constable Zhou? How could it be him? He's a good constable!"

"Other detectives are exploiting our streets, but he's the only one who isn't."

"I don't know either. Anyway, I think Constable Zhou is a pretty good person. Now that he's been arrested, it seems like the evidence is pretty strong."

"Alas, this world... Let's go, let's go. I don't know when it will end."

The two people walked away while chatting.

After listening to this, Shen Bai frowned.

"Boss, check out. I'm leaving now."

After paying the bill, Shen Bai walked towards the yamen.

The shop owner walked up, collected the money on the table, and looked at Shen Bai's back with confusion in his eyes.

"Why is Shopkeeper Shen so cold? It gives me goosebumps."

……

After leaving the shop, Shen Bai walked steadily towards the government office.

Along the way, when the people around saw Shen Bai, some of them who looked familiar wanted to come up and say hello, but they backed away.

Because although Shen Bai looked calm on the surface, he exuded a cold aura, which made these people subconsciously feel scared.

This is murderous intent.

Since Shen Bai entered this circle, he has killed enough people, and they were all very powerful. The murderous aura on his body has become tangible.

He was not a fool, and by this time he had guessed some of the reasons.

In the yamen, if anyone wanted to touch Zhou Qing, there was only one possibility, that was the nephew from the county.

After all, the constables on Captain Zheng's side have a very good relationship with Zhou Qing, so it is impossible for them to deal with Zhou Qing.

Today, Shen Bai wanted to see what tricks the other party was trying to play.

It’s not far from the breakfast shop to the government office.

When Shen Bai arrived at the yamen with murderous intent, the constable guarding the door was immediately shocked.

They saw Shen Bai, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly.

One of the constables stepped forward and said, "Manager Shen, Captain Zheng specifically said that if you come over, you have to wait for a while."

There was a hint of respect and fear in his words.

These two constables participated in the Battle of the Great Tomb, and they knew Shen Bai's strength.

Judging from his performance in the tomb, Shen Bai will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.

They are just small constables in this county, and you can't offend them easily.

Although Shen Bai was filled with murderous intent, his expression was extremely calm: "Take me to see Captain Zheng."

Since Captain Zheng could send someone to wait for him here, and there was no sign of chaos in the yamen, it proved that Zhou Qing was fine.

Shen Bai is not a reckless person. He will not be like other people who get extremely angry and smash everything after hearing the news.

In Shen Bai's opinion, if he wants to help his good brother, the first thing he needs to do is to calm himself down.

The constable nodded and quickly took Shen Bai into the yamen.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the yamen, Shen Bai saw Captain Zheng walking towards him in a hurry.

"Manager Shen, don't get excited yet. We are investigating this matter and we will get to the bottom of it sooner or later."

Shen Bai said, "I know exactly who my brother is. The rebel families he was talking about must be Xiaoxue's family. They are just two poor people. Is it worth it for them to set up such a trap?"

Captain Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Master Yang has produced sufficient evidence, and he has clearly made thorough preparations. Please give me some time. I will ensure Zhou Qing's safety. If I truly cannot, I will inform you in advance."

He knew Shen Bai's temper and was afraid that Shen Bai would really draw his sword and destroy the entire government office.

After all, with Shen Bai's current strength, the government office may not be able to stop him.

"Master Yang, it turns out he was the one behind all this." Shen Bai sneered.

Captain Zheng opened his mouth and was about to say something.

At this moment, Master Yang and Li Yun walked out of the inner courtyard and saw Shen Bai at a glance.

Master Yang sneered and said, "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Zhou Qing's good friend. It's not impossible for you to visit Zhou Qing, but you have to go through the normal procedures."

Shen Bai's gaze fell on the faces of Master Yang and Li Yun, and he saw the sarcasm in the corner of Li Yun's eyes.

"Then I'd like to see what the evidence is."

Li Yun did not say anything, Master Yang spoke first.

"What evidence? Of course it's evidence of reselling intelligence. The old woman committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This little girl is the only criminal. Oh, no, there's also Zhou Qing."

Before he could finish his words, Master Yang couldn't say the rest.

Because he only felt Shen Bai's figure flash in front of him, leaving an afterimage.

And his neck was held down by Shen Bai.

Master Yang got goosebumps all over his body, and a sense of oppression of death made him breathless.

He didn't dare to look directly into Shen Bai's eyes, swallowed his saliva, and heard Shen Bai's words in his ears.

"You said Grandma Zhang died, right?"
