Chaotic Frontier: I Picked Up a Peerless Little Wife at the Start

Yang Yun was stunned by Wang Canjun.

I was extremely worried.

In fact, the authorities have always been aware of their misdeeds on the border, but as long as they don't cause any major trouble, they usually turn a blind eye.

But today is different.

Wang Ping came in person.

Although Wang Ping's official position was not high, he was still the judicial officer of Linjiang County.

If he were to report this matter to General Cheng in person, General Cheng would definitely punish their squadron in order to give everyone an explanation, and he, as the squadron leader, would be the first to be punished.

"Alright, Military Advisor Wang, I'll remember what happened today."

"Just you wait and see."

Yang Yun snorted coldly and waved to his men, "Let's go..."

The border soldiers slunk away, looking rather disheveled compared to their previous arrogance.

Lin Hui clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Wang Ping, saying, "Thank you, Lord Wang..."

Wang Ping waved his hand casually.

"Brother Lin, you're too kind. Without you, I might have already met the King of Hell."

"Actually, I came here on orders to invite Brother Lin to the county government office."

"The magistrate wishes to see you."

the other side.

Yang Yun and the others left the city gate reluctantly.

"Captain, let's just let it go like this. We're border troops."

Zhao Hong followed Yang Yun, extremely unwilling. He was still in excruciating pain from being beaten by Lin Hui, so how could he possibly swallow this insult?

The other border soldiers chimed in, "Yes, Captain, you're not a coward. Wang Ping has shown us no respect, we can't just let this go."

"Captain, everyone's right. A mere judicial officer dares to disrespect us. He thinks too highly of himself."

"If you ask me, we should find an opportunity to let Wang Ping know the consequences of offending us, and teach him a lesson."

The border soldiers talked amongst themselves.

Yang Yun was agitated by what he heard.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you."

He looked at his men and said, "Brothers, although Wang Ping is a scoundrel and easy to deal with, it's said that this new magistrate is no ordinary man. Wang Ping is the magistrate's confidant."

"I've heard that this magistrate once dared to confront a general head-on in the prefectural capital. We'd better not provoke someone like that."

Upon hearing Yang Yun's words, the border troops immediately deflated.

"Alright, be more discreet from now on, so you don't give them any leverage against you."

Just as Yang Yun was about to continue walking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the group, "By the way, have you found Wang Si and Fatty?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Zhao Hong frowned even more: "Captain, this is really damn strange. We've searched everywhere we can think of, but we still don't have a single trace of those two guys."

"Captain, do you think those two might have deserted with the bounty?"

Yang Yun snorted coldly: "It's understandable that Fatty would run away, but Wang Si is a relative of the general. Why would he run away if he didn't get his money?"

Everyone nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

"Captain, do you think it's possible that Tartar spies slit their throats?"

"I've heard that there's a Night Raven among the Tartars, and it's incredibly powerful."

"Yes, I've heard that too. Night Raven recruits top military experts and extraordinary individuals from the common people. They are most skilled in infiltration and assassination."

Night Raven is the intelligence agency of the Northern Wilderness Tartars. Its members are all highly skilled in martial arts and can come and go without a trace. It is not surprising that they would sneak into the border to gather information.

Every time the crows made a large-scale appearance, it was the prelude to a large-scale attack by the Tartar army.

"Captain, what if they're really killed by Night Raven, or fall into Night Raven's hands? What if the general asks?"

Yang Yun looked impatient; he had too many worries.

"The general already knew. The young lady must have given you some kind of bewitching drug. The general has given strict orders that you must find them both within three days, alive or dead."

"If we can't find anything, none of us will be able to escape responsibility."

Upon hearing this, many border soldiers saw a sense of crisis on the other's face.

Zhao Hong stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Captain, in my opinion, Wang Si and his buddy should have died a long time ago. Otherwise, given Wang Si's arrogant and domineering nature, he wouldn't have stayed out of the public eye for so many days."

"How about we find someone to arrest and bring back, and say they're a spy for the Tartars? Not only will we be able to complete our mission, but we'll also get a reward."

Yang Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems this is the only way."

"Yes, that's what we'll do."

Do you have a suitable candidate?

Zhao Hong chuckled: "Captain, the candidate is already here. It's that kid who beat us up today. I've seen him before. He's a hunter from Sigou Village."

"Hunters need to go up the mountain to hunt in order to survive. We just need to find a place outside the village and wait. I don't believe we can't catch him."

"But what if Wang Ping investigates? The fact that Wang Ping stood up for him today shows that their relationship is not ordinary."

"Brother, what are you afraid of? What time is it now? It's the dead of winter, with snow and ice everywhere. Hunters who go hunting in the mountains often fall off cliffs or get eaten by wild animals."

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Arrest this kid as soon as possible."

Zhao Hong gave a wicked smile and assured him, "Don't worry, Captain, we brothers can handle anything."

………….

Lin Hui followed Wang Ping to the county government office. This was the first time he had ever entered a county government office in his life.

In the past, people would be so frightened by a patrolling constable that they would stay far away, let alone come in.

Upon entering the county government office, the first thing you see is the imposing main hall, where the county magistrate holds court and hears cases on a daily basis.

Further inside is the second hall, where daily affairs were handled, and also where the county magistrate received guests.

The county government office consisted of three courtyards, with the last courtyard being the living quarters.

Although the place is not large, it has pavilions, towers, and bluestone floors.

Wang Ping led Lin Hui directly to the second hall, gestured for Lin Hui to sit down and wait, and then left.

Lin Hui looked around at the layout of the second hall, which was simple yet gave off a sense of order and standard.

Lin Hui didn't have to wait long before a voice rang out from outside.

"Hunter Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As the footsteps drew closer, Lin Hui turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties slowly walking in. He had a beard and was wearing a dark long robe embroidered with cloud patterns.

This person was none other than Ma Dayuan, the newly appointed magistrate of Linjiang County, and the person he had saved today.

Just as Lin Hui was about to bow, Ma Dayuan reached out and stopped him.

"Hunter Lin, no, no..."

"If it weren't for Hunter Lin stepping forward today, Wang Canjun and I would have been dead long ago. We should be thanking you, not accepting such a great gift from you."

"Come, sit down, sit down..."

Lin Hui was pulled to sit down on a chair by Ma Dayuan.

Just as he settled down, several maids brought in tea, and Ma Dayuan personally picked up a cup and placed it in front of Lin Hui.

Lin Hui took a small sip without hesitation, and the aroma of the tea filled the air.

"Good tea...good tea. It's not easy to find such good tea from the south in the harsh northwest."

Hearing Lin Hui's remarks, Ma Dayuan was quite surprised. He did not expect that a hunter from a peasant background would have such insight.

"Haha... Hunter Lin is indeed extraordinary. To be honest, this tea is something I brought from the south."

Wang Ping, standing to the side, chuckled at Lin Hui: "Brother Lin, you don't know this, but it's a treasure of adults. They usually don't even bother to make a cup for themselves. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had this pleasure."

Lin Hui was taken aback.

Ma Dayuan waved his hand and said, "It's just a cup of tea. Don't listen to Wang Ping's nonsense. As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good saddle, and tea only tastes good when it's drunk by someone like Hunter Lin who understands tea."

Seeing Lin Hui put down his teacup, Ma Dayuan slowly said, "I already know about what happened at the restaurant. You had a dispute with Bian Jun?"

Lin Hui nodded: "Yes, they are border soldiers, but they do not know how to protect the people and fight the enemy. Instead, they bully the innocent and harass women in restaurants. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took action."

Ma Dayuan was silent for a moment: "Holding weapons, bullying the innocent, harassing women..."

"According to the laws of Da Yu, he should be killed..."

"But……."
