Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Not Reciprocating is Impolite (2/2)

“Yes, son-in-law.”

The person vanished underground again, and the stone slab closed over the entrance.

Seeing the stone slab in the corner returning to its original state, Di Yelei threw back his head and swallowed the last bite of food.

Tonight, huh?

County Magistrate Su and Xin Quan are eager to get rid of him as soon as possible, so they will definitely take action quickly. However, it’s also impolite to not reciprocate, isn’t it?

Well, it’s better to solve the problem sooner and get it over with.

As soon as the sky darkened, numerous figures began to move!

A team of horsemen, under the cover of darkness, left the county government office silently, escorting a prison cart out of the West City gate, heading towards Gongzhou City.

The prisoner in the cart was disheveled, their face completely obscured. Accompanied by the sound of wheels rolling on the official road, the cart swayed and gradually moved into the distance.

This night was destined to be tumultuous!

Even the moon in the sky hid in the thick clouds, and there was no sign of wind in the surroundings.

In a small courtyard within the county which had been almost forgotten by people, a robust figure suddenly burst in, breaking the silence of the courtyard.

“Son-in-law!”

The figure stopped and casually glanced around.

“Has Nan Tianzong sent a message yet?”

As he spoke, he casually entered a room.

If Liu Sisi were here, she would easily recognize that this small courtyard was the same one that Nan Tianzong had brought her to previously. The locked room next to this one had the beauty profiles she had seen before, and the woman on the painting, who looked exactly like her, still smiled at her.

“Son-in-law! Son-in-law! Son-in-law!”

As he entered the room, everyone inside kneeled and greeted him.

“Get up, all of you! Today, Ye Lei should be the one thanking you. If not for your help, Di Yelei at this moment would be in a prison cart heading to Gongzhou City.”

Di Yelei expressed his gratitude, and bowed to everyone with a fist greeting.

“Son-in-law is too serious; this is something we should have done.”

The man taking the lead here was none other than Shopkeeper Hao from the wine-house.

“Thank you all for your help. Rest assured, I will keep this kindness in my heart. Once Nan Tianzong returns, I will report everything to him and give you all credit!”

“Thank you, Son-in-law!”

Everyone thanked him in unison.

Shopkeeper Hao took two steps forward: “Son-in-law, what should we do now?”

“A popular saying goes, ‘It’s impolite not to reciprocate.’ Also, ‘If someone treats me with respect, I’ll treat them with even more respect.’ Tonight, it’s time for us to take back what’s ours, with interest.”

Di Yelei’s face had a faint smile, but a cold glint of murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes for an instant.

In the County Magistrate’s official residence.

It was very quiet all around, except for the occasional guards passing by during their night watch.

A shadow flashed on the fence and immediately appeared on the long corridor where the guard had just passed. The figure moved as lightly as a kitten.

The shadow seemed to be carrying something, crouching and hurrying, darting into the inner courtyard and stopping outside a well-lit room.

In the room, County Magistrate Su was thoroughly enjoying himself, playing with his concubine.

He rarely had such a good mood tonight, venting his frustration on the concubine twice before finally falling asleep contentedly.

He slept soundly this time, having sent away his biggest threat. He awoke from his dreams with a smile.

However, a strange smell at the edge of his nose caused him to frown repeatedly. Unable to resist it any longer, he opened his eyes and was immediately frightened by the scene before him!
