Chapter 275 - Dog's Bite in the Mouth

”What are you waiting for? ”If you don't want to hand it over …”

Before the lead guard could finish speaking, he was injured by a burst of internal energy that Xiao Qingqian had released through the air. He landed solidly on the ground, and broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

”Who made the rules to have to pay a fee to leave the city?” Xiao Qingqian was on his horse, and asked with a voice as cold as ice.

Seeing that they were finally safe, the people who had been suppressing their dissatisfaction all this time started to question in unison.

The expressions of the group of guards suddenly changed. The lead guard stood up while enduring the pain. At the same time, he ordered the guards to go to the magistrate court quickly.

”If you dare to cause trouble, consider the consequences!”

These words were full of threat!

Upon hearing this, the originally high-spirited crowd immediately quieted down, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, ”Could it be that the county magistrate is your backer?”

The leader of the guards snorted, ”Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Come on, whoever wants to leave the city can leave after paying the money.

Those who were timid left the city in fear of getting into trouble.

Very quickly, the county magistrate with his full brain and belly appeared at the city gates.

”Who's causing trouble?” The magistrate spoke slowly, his long and narrow eyes narrowing into slits.

Wei Qing rubbed her eyes, ”So she still has eyes?”

These words caused everyone to burst out in laughter. The county magistrate's expression suddenly sank. ”What are you laughing at?”

The commoners were afraid that something might happen, so they all held back their laughter.

”If you don't want to leave the city, then scram!” The county magistrate's eyes narrowed as he shouted in anger.

Everyone looked at Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian with worry, and quickly left.

”Who exactly are you people? You actually dare to stir up trouble! ”

Although the magistrate was fat, he still exuded an imposing aura. If he was a normal person, he would definitely have been scared to death.

However, he was facing Wei Qing as well.

If he was scared to death by a small county magistrate, it would truly be a joke!

Wei Qing curled her lips, ”Aiyo, I'm so scared!”

Even though he said he was afraid, his expression did not seem to mind at all.

The county magistrate gnashed his teeth in anger, the fat on his face trembling.

”Men, capture him and bring him to the dungeon. We'll see if he still has the guts to continue making noise after entering the dungeon!”

Hearing that, a group of guards quickly surrounded Xiao Qingqian and his group.

Xiao Qingqian swept his eyes across the faces of the group of imperial guards, and the sharpness in his eyes could cause one's heart to involuntarily tremble once.

”S-Sir, this man is obviously a martial arts master.” The leader of the guards held his chest and reminded the magistrate in a low voice.

The county magistrate stroked his chin as his gaze firmly locked onto Wei Qing and the others.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrow, ”If you want to pay the city entrance fee, then, where did you spend this silver from?”

The county magistrate saw that his words were unordinary, and even asked such a crucial question. He felt that if he allowed the matter to continue, it would definitely arouse the wrath of the people.
