“Tomorrow, bring more people to the construction site.”

“We can’t. That will make King Hui…”

“No matter what, we can’t sit still and wait for death. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to avenge ourselves.” After the county magistrate decided, he locked the name list in his drawer.

“Master, you…”

“Ten taels of silver is too little. Since he treats human lives as expendable, he at least need to cough up more silver.” The county magistrate walked out after that.

Ziyan hesitated for a moment before he left.

After he had walked far away, he quickly got into a carriage and left the city.

After arriving at the construction site, he looked for the King Hui. “This lowly one greets Your Highness.”

“So, did he agree?”

“No, he wants to bring a group of people over tomorrow to cause trouble. He wants to at least double the compensation for the dead.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If he doesn’t know how to appreciate my favors, so be it. When the time comes, he won’t be returning.”

“But…”

“What, do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you not want to be a county magistrate?”

“No, I…”

“Why… You thinking of giving up halfway? You will be buried with him if that’s your intention.”

When Zhou Ying heard this, she immediately recalled how Lord Sun was replaced and how he took down the entire Pingyang Residence. She was instantly pissed.

She knew this was to be expected. If he was capable of executing officials at will, why would he care about the lives of ordinary people?

After hearing this, whether it was for the sake of his life or the position of county magistrate, Ziyan immediately shut up and retreated.

After he had walked far away, Zhou Ying drew the most powerful Lightning Talisman that she could and stuck it on King Hui’s body.

King Hui instantly convulsed and fell to the ground. He was charred black, and his mouth emitted hot steam comically.

After confirming that he was still alive, Zhou Ying immediately followed Ziyan out.

Ziyan, who had yet to enter the carriage, heard the lightning bolt strike. He turned around and looked at King Hui’s tent, which was still smoking. His legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

When the guards around heard the commotion, they immediately rushed in. When they saw King Hui’s appearance, they all trembled from fear.

After confirming that King Hui was still alive, they immediately brought him into the city to find a doctor.

As for Ziyan, after King Hui had left for emergency treatment, he immediately returned to the city and found the county magistrate to tell him about this.

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately asked happily, “Is he dead?”

“I don’t think so. They were in a hurry to find a doctor.”

“Mother God’s words are true. Heaven’s net has long arms. It seems that even Mother God can’t stand it anymore.

“Tomorrow morning, we can take over the job at the construction site.” When the county magistrate said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He sized up Ziyan and asked, “Ziyan, you and King Hui…”

“Master, this lowly one’s family is in King Hui’s hands.”

“Didn’t you say you went to visit your family?”

“You… you dumbass. Do you know where they are locked up?”

“I know. They’re in his temporary courtyard. But I’m afraid that if I make a move, King Hui will kill them, so…”

“How about this? You send someone to rescue your family members tonight and take them into hiding overnight. I’ll write a letter to Master.”

“But writing a letter to Master will take a lot of time back and forth. I think it’s better to make use of the fact that King Hui was struck by lightning.”

“You mean to sway the people’s hearts?”

“Yes, the law doesn’t punish the masses.”

“That’s a good idea, but leave this to me.

“Take advantage of the fact that they are still busy saving King Hui to bring someone to save your family quickly.

“Remember, after you rescue them, go into hiding and don’t do anything else..”
