Chapter 1159 Now it's come to this, there's only one chance left.
After Leng Rongyue finished speaking, she turned to look at Xiao Jingyu, and the two smiled at each other.
That smile, in the eyes of the officials, was truly like a warm spring breeze, a sign that spring had arrived and flowers were in bloom!
Although these people were faced with two smiling faces as beautiful as a spring day, the words that kept echoing in their minds were completely at odds with the stunning beauty they saw before them...
They will soon be meeting the seven missing government officials and constables...
They will soon be meeting the seven missing government officials and constables...
……
Those seven people have vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead, as if they had evaporated into thin air...
Where they were taken... I don't know!
The pretty young woman opposite them said... they would be meeting those seven people soon...
God knows whether they will meet again on earth or in hell!
"What...what do you mean by that?"
The leading officer had also thought of this. He stared directly at Leng Rongyue and asked in a slightly trembling voice.
"It means exactly what it says!"
Leng Rongyue answered calmly.
"You're chasing us now because of those seven bastards at the West Gate, aren't you?"
Now, let you go see them...wouldn't that be better?
Is something wrong?
Or perhaps... your trip wasn't solely for those seven constables at the West Gate?
They arrested us...for something else?
For something more important than what happened at the West Gate?
For example... the secrets of Qilin Mountain?
"You...you...you really are...!"
The leading officer's eyes widened instantly, his fear barely concealed.
"What is it, really?"
Leng Rongyue chuckled softly.
"So you really know the earth-shattering secret that your prefect is trying to hide the most?"
Congratulations, you guessed right!
Now... instead of arresting us, let's arrest you!
"You...you dare to do this!"
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to resist arrest?
"Or do you still want to kill the officials?"
The leading officer and his men instinctively held their knives horizontally in front of them, instantly becoming alert.
"Resisting arrest?"
Are you joking?
We are the ones arresting you now, so how can you say we are resisting arrest?
As for killing the officials...
You deserve to die!
But... that's not something we should be doing.
Whether or not you are killed is a matter for the court to investigate and determine your crimes in the future.
Previously, you all obeyed that Prefect Zhu Gefu and helped him do all sorts of things that violated the laws of the court, all sorts of heinous and outrageous things that angered both heaven and man. You know all too well in your hearts what you did!
One day, Zhu Gefu will be punished according to the law.
As for you... some of you might even have to follow your prefect to hell!
At this moment, Leng Rongyue's face no longer showed any smile; instead, it seemed to be covered with frost.
Xiao Jingyu, standing silently beside Leng Rongyue, remained silent throughout.
However, the invisible pressure emanating from the superior made the officials on the other side feel oppressed and suffocated.
Even if they were stupid, they could still understand the meaning behind Leng Rongyue's words and the weight of her words...
This also confirms that the handsome man and beautiful woman opposite must have extraordinary backgrounds!
As for their prefect, in the eyes of this handsome man and beautiful woman, he was nothing more than a criminal of the imperial court about to be tried!
At this moment, everyone, including the leading official, felt as if a whirlwind was spinning wildly in their minds...
They were all secretly assessing the balance of power between themselves and the couple opposite them;
They are assessing...whether they have a chance of winning if they all rush in and attack at the same time.
What are the chances of winning?
Then, thinking of the seven officials and yamen runners who had gone missing at the West Gate... they couldn't help but want to back out.
But then they thought, what if they backed down now and these two arrested them too...
No!
Absolutely not!
The things that many of them had done with Prefect Zhu Gefu were tantamount to treason and rebellion!
Treason and rebellion will result in the confiscation of your property and the extermination of your entire family!
Once the truth comes out, not only will their own heads be in danger, but... even the lives of their entire family will be at risk!
Thinking of this, they gritted their teeth again...
Rather than retreating now, it's better to... better to go all out and fight!
They have at least several dozen people; with their sheer numbers, they can wear down and exhaust those two!
These men tightened their grip on their knife hilts, glanced at their companions, and a hint of murderous intent flickered in their eyes, which had initially been filled with fear.
The leading officer turned his head to the side and whispered, "Brothers, there's no other way now. Let's all charge in and fight!"
If we don't fight, we probably won't survive;
If we fight, there's still a chance of survival!
"Kill these two first. We'll deal with the rest when we see the prefect!"
After listening to this and thinking about it, these people realized that this was the only option.
