Chapter 407 Scarlet (1/2)

Chapter 407 Crimson

"By the way, Uncle Li Wen, do you have a wife?" Qin Shuang'er seemed to suddenly remember something, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Uh, no...no..." Li Wen actually had no plans to get married.

"Then you can marry me as your wife!" Qin Shuang'er blinked and said mischievously.

"Uh... well... I'm still young... I'm afraid I'll delay you..." Li Wen said awkwardly.

After Qin Shuang'er heard this, she pouted and couldn't help but muttered: "You are still young. I am thirteen years old, but I am older than you."

"Then we're not married...Besides, I think we're quite suitable!"

"Huh!" Qin Shuang'er snorted: "I want to marry my father, and my mother has already agreed. By then we will be husband and wife!"

After Li Wen heard this, he almost vomited blood. This girl was digging a hole to bury herself!

"Haha, I thought you were willing to marry me. If not, then I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Li Wen turned around and rushed towards the city!

"Uncle Li Wen, don't leave, wait for me..."

Looking at Li Wen's retreating back, Qin Shuang'er stamped her feet and quickly caught up with him.

After Li Wen arrived at the gate of the county government office, he directly entered the government office lobby.

"Taking human life lightly and bullying the people is simply lawless!" As soon as Li Wen entered the lobby, he glared at the high-ranking magistrate and roared!

Hearing Li Wen's angry and passionate voice, all the government officials immediately turned their attention to Li Wen!

Li Wen also noticed everyone's surprised looks, but he was not afraid and continued to shout loudly:

"You are so bold and unruly, how dare you disrespect the county magistrate?"

"You bastard! I am an official of the imperial court, how can I be a troublemaker? Come here, drag me out and give me fifty sticks!" The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.

"You are so bold and cunning, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!" The master next to the county magistrate pointed at Li Wen and cursed.

"Humph, you dog official, you are using your power to bully others. A corrupt official like you will end up in jail sooner or later!" Li Wen snorted and scolded angrily.

"Pa~~" When the master heard this, he became furious, slapped Li Wen with his sleeve, and then said sharply:

"How bold! How dare you insult the imperial official! You are accused of rebellion! Come here, tie him up!"

"Sir, I'm unjust..." Li Wen cried, covering his burning and painful cheek.

"Sir, there is something fishy here..." Before the master could speak, a government official interrupted.

"Oh? What's going on?" The county magistrate pondered for a moment and asked.

"Sir, this kid is here to cause trouble. I think he was bewitched by others..."

"That's nonsense. It's clearly the county government that oppresses the neighbors and takes human life seriously!" Li Wen angrily yelled. He would never allow anyone to insult his mother!

When the master saw this, he frowned, and then he snorted coldly and said, "Come here! Take this unruly man away and give him a fifty-fifty stick!"

"Yes! Sir!" A government official nodded and replied, then stretched out two thick arms to hold Li Wen.

"I don't accept it! Why do you beat me with a stick!" Li Wen struggled and roared.

"Hmph! Since I am the county magistrate, if you dare to say another word, you will be beheaded on the spot!" The master said grimly.

After Li Wen heard this, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger burning in his chest, and stopped talking.

…………

"What are you doing!" Upon seeing this, Qin Shuang'er quickly stood in front of Li Wen and scolded the master.

"Hey! Little beauty, what's the matter with you here? Get out of here!" When the master saw Qin Shuang'er blocking his way, he immediately glared and yelled angrily.

After Qin Shuang'er heard this, a look of anger appeared on her face, and she yelled: "You... you are practicing favoritism!"

"Hey, stinky girl, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense! I always follow the procedures!" The master laughed angrily and pointed at Qin Shuang'er.

"Hmph, you just said clearly that you only need to pay ten taels of silver to enter the city, and you can also rest in the inn. There are six of us. You received ten taels of silver, why did you have to punish Li Wen with fifty big bans? "

Qin Shuang'er argued hard.

"Hey, who told him to break into the county government office and disrupt order?" The master glanced at Li Wen contemptuously and said without mercy.

"You...you are using strong words! Li Wen, tell him, did you disrupt order?" Qin Shuang'er turned to Li Wen and said.

"I didn't..." Li Wen lowered his head and said in a low voice.

When Qin Shuang'er saw this, she became anxious and asked loudly: "You... why don't you speak? Do you also agree with what he said?"

Li Wen shook his head, raised his head, stared at the master and said, "Sir, I did disturb the order. How do you want to punish me?"

"Hmph, it seems you are determined to go against me!" Master narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"I didn't..." Li Wen said lightly.

"Sir, look at Li Wen. He doesn't admit that he disturbed the order at all. According to my subordinates, it is better to put him in jail! We will judge him after it is found out whether he has disturbed the order!"

After hearing the master's suggestion, the county magistrate thought for a while and then nodded: "Well, let's put him in jail first!"

"Don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse good people!"

"Humph, I hope so." Li Wen glanced at the master.

"take away!"

Following the Master's order, dozens of government officials surrounded Li Wen and pushed Li Wen out of the government office.

"Hmph! You'd better be honest, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship!"

"hehe……"

Li Wen smiled coldly and followed the yamen runners to leave.

After watching Li Wen being escorted away, Qin Shuang'er sighed and murmured: "Alas... It's so pitiful..."

"Qin Shuang'er, is this guy your husband?" The master looked at Qin Shuang'er and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Tsk tsk... You are too young, aren't you?" The master smiled obscenely.

"Hmph! Hooligan! I'm only fourteen years old, of course I'm very young!"

Qin Shuang'er curled her lips, then moved her jade feet and rushed towards the direction where Li Wen left.

…………

"Bang!"

Li Wen had just come out of the cell when a round of punches and kicks came, and Li Wen was beaten to the ground by several yamen runners!

"Damn it, beat you to death!"

Li Wen was pressed to the ground and beaten by several yamen runners, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and screaming.

"Brother, stop beating..." A yamen runner grabbed another yamen runner.

"Second brother, why are you pulling me?" The yamen runner who was called the eldest brother said in confusion.

"Brother, we are here to help the county magistrate this time. If we beat someone to death, it will be difficult to explain..." The yamen runner persuaded.

"What are you afraid of! This unruly man dared to disobey the will of the county magistrate, he deserves to be beaten to death, not to mention that he is the murderer of the county magistrate's son!" The eldest brother said nonchalantly.

"But..."

"No buts, if this unruly man is not severely punished, he will never remember the rules!"

After that, the two men started to swing their fists and feet again.

"Bang!"

Li Wen was hit by two heavy punches again, his whole face swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes were red as he looked at the two yamen runners.

"Damn it, do you know who my father is? Believe it or not, I will find hundreds of brothers to chop you up!" Li Wen roared.

"Tsk~ I'm not afraid of your father even if he's the king of heaven, not to mention that your father died a long time ago, what can you use to find someone to chop us! Hahaha..."

"Puff!"

A punch fell, Li Wen's right arm was broken, blood splattered, and the pain was heartbreaking!

"Hiss~!"

Li Wen grimaced in pain, gritted his teeth, and held back his tears without making a single groan!

"Damn it, I must kill you two tonight!" Li Wen gritted his teeth and thought angrily.

Noon.

A scorching sun hung high in the sky, emitting a scorching light.

"Li Wen! Hurry up and get out, the county magistrate has sent someone to pick you up!" Qin Shuang'er walked over and said to Li Wen who was sitting in the corner.

"Humph, these damn yamen runners really have bad intentions!" Li Wen thought to himself.

Li Wen slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thank you, Miss Qin, for reminding me!"

"You're welcome..." Qin Shuang'er smiled and waved her hand.

Li Wen glanced at Qin Shuang'er's beautiful face, and in a trance, he seemed to see a gentle and quiet face.

"Li Wen, hurry up, the county magistrate will be here soon, don't dawdle!" The yamen runner next to him urged.

Li Wen responded and walked out.

Li Wen followed the yamen runner and came to the gate of the county yamen to wait.

Not long after, the county magistrate led the master and others to appear in Li Wen's field of vision.

"Hello, sir!"

Seeing the county magistrate coming, everyone saluted.

"Well! Li Wen, what is the result of the investigation I ordered you to investigate last night?" The county magistrate stepped forward and asked.

"Report to the sir, after my investigation, there was no theft around the night when the county magistrate's young master was killed, and no suspicious strangers appeared." Li Wen pondered for a moment and answered with a bow.

"Oh, so there are still loopholes in the case?" The county magistrate frowned and said.

"Your Excellency, although there is no clue, I think this matter may be related to Qin's medicine shop, after all, she is the only witness!" Li Wen continued.

"Qin's medicine shop?" The county magistrate fell into deep thought.

"Manager Qin, what do you say?" The county magistrate asked.

"Sir, my husband can't steal the amulet my father bought for me. As for this case, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my medicine shop!" Qin Shuang'er said firmly.

"Okay, since you said so, then this case will be temporarily suspended and investigated at another time. Withdraw!" After the county magistrate gave the order, he turned and left.

"Sir..."

After seeing the county magistrate leave, the yamen runners chased after him.

Li Wen also hurried to catch up.

"Sir, why do you want to give up this case?"

"Because I don't want to offend the Chen family... Hey..." The county magistrate sighed.

"The Chen family? Could it be..."

...

In the southwest of the county, in a magnificent and imposing mansion.

This luxurious mansion covers a vast area, with rockery, ponds, pavilions, and towers, and flowers and trees are everywhere.

The name of this mansion is very ordinary, but it is full of ancient charm and nobility, and a strong smell of books wafts out.

At this moment, in a pavilion next to a bookshelf, an elegant young man sat cross-legged.

The young man has a well-proportioned and slender figure, regular facial features, sharp edges and corners, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and is handsome and extraordinary, making people can't help but look at him a few more times.

The young man is none other than Li Wen!

Li Wen was beaten up in Qin's pharmacy and was rescued by Qin Shuang'er.

"Huh~ Finally escaped from danger, fortunately Miss Qin showed up in time, otherwise I'm afraid I can't escape this disaster."

Li Wen exhaled a foul breath.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Li Wen found that the black mark on his left arm disappeared.

"This... Could it be that the mysterious black jade pendant has miraculous effects?" Li Wen was surprised.

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden task 'Eliminate the Tumor'!"

Li Wen was immediately alerted when he heard this, and quickly clicked on the system prompt.

"Eliminate the tumor? What does this mean? Is there a tumor in this world?"

"Ding Dong~ Mission details, please enter the hidden copy and explore carefully!" The system prompt sounded.

"So that's it, it seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers here!" Li Wen sighed.

"Ding Dong...!"

Afterwards, Li Wen received several more system prompt sounds!

[System]: Congratulations on your upgrade!

[System]: Congratulations on obtaining the special attribute - [Yi Jin Jing].

Li Wen took a look at the attribute introduction.

[Yi Jin Jing] (Yellow Grade Elementary): After practicing, the bones and muscles of the whole body are strong, the strength is doubled, and the physical fitness is +20%; lasts for three seconds!

"Damn!"

After reading it, Li Wen suddenly burst into swearing and almost cursed!

"There are special skills, and they can be stacked. Damn! It's too bad!"

"This attribute is simply amazing!"

"It only lasts for three seconds. What can three seconds do?" Li Wen said depressedly.

[Yi Jin Jing] (Yellow Grade Elementary): After practicing, it can increase speed by 10%, reaction by 15%, and endurance by 15%; lasts for 3 hours; cooldown time is 30 minutes.

After seeing this skill, Li Wen was stunned. Three seconds is enough to run more than ten meters.

"Fuck! Awesome! It's really awesome!" Li Wen said excitedly.

Li Wen looked at the attribute panel of this "Yi Jin Jing" and suddenly became hot.

"I really made a fortune this time!" Li Wen said excitedly.

...

"Ding Dong~!"

Just when Li Wen was happy, a series of pleasant and crisp sounds rang out.

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Wen was startled and hurriedly clicked on the system prompt sound.

"Ding Dong~!"

"Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden mission 'Martial Arts Conference'!"

"Martial Arts Conference?"

Li Wen muttered as he listened to the prompt.
