Ximen Qiao was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was indeed shocking.
Seeing that Wu Song couldn't even get up, Ximen Qiao ran over and kicked him again.
Wu Song didn't care about the pain in his body and punched again. Ximen Qiao used his golden fan to block, and dozens of iron spikes automatically shot out from the fan.
Although Wu Song's fist was hard, it was made of flesh. When it touched the iron spikes, his skin was split open and blood flowed out.
"Head Wu, do you want to die? Ximen Qiao shouted.
"Ximen Qing, you seduced Pan Jinlian and caused my brother's death. Do you want to deny it?”Wu Song tore the cloth on his body and bandaged the wound on his hand as he shouted sternly.
"You can make up whatever you want. It's very easy for you to die.”
" You-" Wu Song was furious.
Wu Song was about to throw another punch, but Ximen Qiao slapped him again, causing him to bleed profusely. He fell to the ground and could no longer move.
Several constables from the county government had already rushed over.
A few constables had already received the news and went to Wu Song to lock him up and bring him straight to the county office.
The county magistrate was also the first to hear that Wu Song, who had just returned to report, had killed someone. He was immediately promoted.
Seeing that there was room for maneuver, Ximen Qiao hurriedly found the servant Dai An and asked him to return with Yue Niang Wu to take five hundred taels of silver to Granny Wang, He Jiu, and Brother Hun, so that they could recant their confessions in the hall.
The county magistrate called over the people involved in the case and questioned them. He Jiu and Wang Po Hun Ge both retracted their confessions in court, saying that Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing did not commit adultery.
Wu Song flew into a rage when he heard that. If he had not been hit by Ximen Qiao's palm, he would definitely have flared up in the hall.
The magistrate was troubled. Wu Song was indeed a man. The witness had already retracted his confession, so the adultery between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing was questionable.
Even if it was true that they had committed adultery, it was still wrong for him to kill someone.
The advisor kept giving him a look. Seeing that he didn't respond, he wrote a note and handed it to the magistrate.
It was a letter from the various gentry of Qinghe County, all begging for Wu Song to be let off.
The county magistrate thought to himself that it was difficult to offend the public. Logically speaking, Wu Song should have been killed, but public opinion was also very important.
However, this was also good. He did not want to kill Wu Song in the first place.
After he made up his mind, he changed the official document and changed Wu Song's intentional homicide to manslaughter.
Because of the squire's plea, the plot of manslaughter was arranged to be that Wu Song accidentally killed his sister-in-law when his uncle and aunt had a dispute over Wu Dalang's death.
So Wu Song was cangue, ready to exile thousands of miles, but first sent to Dongping Prefecture review.
Ximen Qing was originally a member of the Public House, so he had many ears and eyes. When the results of the case came out, he was the first to know. He was very satisfied with this result, but there was nothing he could do. If he killed Wu Song, he would inevitably get into unnecessary trouble.
It was already late, and Ximen Qiao returned to his home on the west side of the county town according to Ximen Qing's memory.
This was a large manor. Although he had Ximen Qing's memories in his mind, Ximen Qiao was still shocked by this luxurious manor.
There was a large house with three entrances and three exits. There were pavilions, gardens, and waterside pavilions. As soon as he entered the door, a few manservants came out to welcome him.
"Sir, sir, you're back. Today is the day of the monthly accounting. The gentlemen from the silk shop and the medicine shop are waiting for you.”
Ximen Qiao took a closer look. They were the servants, Lai Fu and Lai Wang.
Xi Men Qing had five stores on Qianmen Street in Qinghe County. The herbal store was the only one in Qinghe County. It could be said to be a unique business, and the silk store was also doing well.
However, he did not get it through fair means. There was a doctor from Jiang Zhushan who opened a herbal medicine shop, but Xi Men Qing had sent people to smash the shop and snatch his wife. The silk shop was given to him by his assistant, Earl Ying, who had lost all his money gambling.
Ximen Qiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh at the thought of this. The primitive accumulation really did carry dirty blood.
However, that was all done by that Ximen Qing. In the future, Ximen Qing would never do such a thing again. At least he wouldn't be so ugly when he ate, Ximen Qiao thought to himself.
Walking into the living room, the accountant inside stood up with a thick account book in his hand.
Zheng Zhang was in charge of the accounts of the medicine shop, and Zhu Jiazhang was in charge of the accounts of the silk shop. They had been waiting for a long time, and they were well aware of the dispute between Wu Song and Ximen Qing on the street. They had thought that Ximen Qing would not be able to escape this time, but they did not expect him to return unscathed.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The system has specially rewarded you with a Mind Reading Technique. It has been stored in your brain. Please use it at any time.”
"The Mind Reading Art can see what others are thinking?”Ximen Qiao asked excitedly.
"Yes, as long as you can continue to complete the system's missions, you will always have the ability to upgrade the Mind Reading Skill.”The system's voice was indeed very pleasant.
"Then what's the next mission?" Ximen Qiao said.
"Acquire Lion Brothel and reorganize Qinghe County's brothel industry, forming a monopoly.”The system's voice disappeared again.
Ximen Qiao had been wondering if the two bookkeepers would fake the accounts to deal with him, but now there was a way. This system was really useful!
