When the young constable heard this, he couldn’t help but mutter, “If they wanted to run, they wouldn’t have followed us back to the county office.”
“What did you say?” Huang Shan’s expression was a little ugly.
He wondered what he would do if he really provoked a big shot. On second thought, the most powerful person in this town was their county magistrate. The county magistrate was his brother-in-law. He was not afraid of trouble.
Thinking of this, Huang Shan raised his head and puffed out his chest. He snorted and turned his head away.
However, he did not dare to do anything to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue again.
After a while, the county magistrate, who they had been waiting for a long time, ran back. When he saw Huang Shan, Jiang Ying, and Ning Yue, he couldn’t help but frown.
Before the county magistrate could speak, Huang Shan cried to him, “Brother-in-law! You have to uphold justice. The wine in this woman’s shop killed people. The evidence is conclusive, but she still wants to deny it.”
The county magistrate wanted to see who was tied up, but he was interrupted by Huang Shan’s words. His gaze shifted to Huang Shan.
“Since this woman killed someone, why did you kidnap a man?” the magistrate asked.
He was about to turn to look at Jiang Ying when he was stopped by Huang Shan’s words.
“Brother-in-law, this man is this woman’s lover. He’s been trying to escape with the woman along the way.” Huang Shan pointed at the corpse on the ground.
Only then did the county magistrate see a white cloth covering the ground. He frowned and was about to say something when Jiang Ying stopped him.
“The county magistrate really has a lot of authority. He made us wait for a long time,” Jiang Ying said coldly.
At this moment, the county magistrate had time to size up Jiang Ying and Ning Yue. When his gaze landed on Jiang Ying, his eyes widened.
Seeing Jiang Ying’s face, the county magistrate trembled in his heart. It was over.
He almost fell to his knees. Before he could move, Huang Shan shouted, “You two actually didn’t kneel when you saw the county magistrate. Are you courting death?”
As he spoke, Huang Shan was about to get someone to force Jiang Ying and Ning Yue to kneel down.
