Cao Fei continued to punch the wall as if he was possessed. It was only when the county magistrate in the room could no longer hold it in and reminded him that he woke up.
"Chief Cao, he's already dead. Stop!”
The county deputy raised his hands and replied nervously,""Don't worry, this old man is only sitting quietly at home today, cultivating his body and mind. I didn't go anywhere, and I didn't see anything. You are one of the magistrate's people, so go back and tell him the truth.”
Cao Fei gradually came back to his senses and looked at Ximen Qing, who was pressed against the wall and badly mutilated. He knew that this guy was already dead. Even if the Great Immortal came, he would not be able to save him.
Then, he let go of his hand in disgust. The other party's body was like a broken cow's bone, lying limply along the wall.
Bah!
Cao Fei thought about how arrogant this guy was just now and spat at the corpse on the ground.
Then, he panted heavily and sat on a stool.
The notifications in the system had stopped long ago, and the experience points had stopped at 861/2000. This meant that this fellow had taken more than ten punches from him before he took his last breath.
If he had known earlier, he would have been gentler.
Let this fellow cry out a little longer.
"Ah!"
He immediately saw Ximen Qing lying on the wall with a bloody mess, and he was so shocked that he shouted.
However, their expressions were slightly different.
Who would have thought that not long ago, he would ruthlessly use it as a bargaining chip and mercilessly push it out.
The relationship between the two of them had already been pushed away by this ruthless push. There was not much left.
Mei 'er, on the other hand, was different. She didn't have the same hesitation as Li Ping' er.
She was not a bargaining chip.
This time, Fan Zao was kneeling beside Ximen Qing's corpse and sobbing intermittently. His voice was hoarse and low, filled with grief and sorrow. It was as if he was venting the helpless fate that had been suppressed in his heart.
Women were like duckweed…without roots.
She could only attach herself to the man and follow the waves.
Or marry a merchant.
On the other hand, businessmen valued profits over separation. After a year and a half, they might bring back a younger and more beautiful woman.
Especially concubines like them, they had no sense of security at all.
What kind of person would he meet?
What kind of fate awaited him?
Cao Fei watched from the side for a while, then suddenly stood up and took two steps forward. The county magistrate thought that Cao Fei wanted to continue his assault, so he quickly stopped him loudly,""Chief Cao, Ximen Qing is dead. All past grudges are written off. It has nothing to do with his concubine.”
Cao Fei rolled his eyes helplessly.
He had already woken up from the state of being possessed, so how could he want to make things difficult for these two pitiful women?
Since he was misunderstood by the county magistrate, he could only explain loudly,"Under the orders of the county magistrate, I want to arrest the mastermind behind the medicine shop case, Ximen Qing. Not only did he resist arrest, but he also resisted with a knife. I killed him on the spot. Everyone else, stay where you are and wait for the county magistrate's punishment.”
The county magistrate raised his hand and pointed at Cao Fei. He was so shocked by Cao Fei's words that he stood rooted to the ground. For a moment, he babbled and could not say a complete sentence.
Li Ping 'er was the first to recover from her shock. She stood up and bowed to Cao Fei from afar, saying softly,""Chief, my husband is already dead. We don't dare to resist and will just wait for the magistrate's decision. However…can you please prepare a coffin for my husband so that we can take in his body first before making plans?”
"This request is reasonable.”
Cao Fei looked at the two beautiful concubines in front of him and sighed in his heart. He could not bear to see them.
Although he had not been in the Water Margins world for long, he had a rough idea of the local laws and regulations. If the county magistrate listened to his suggestion, as the mastermind behind the medicine shop case, the fate of the family in Ximen Manor was almost predetermined.
He did not expect that the two people who were drinking and chatting with him just a moment ago would soon be sold into the government or exiled to a foreign land to be bullied and humiliated.
In the end, he ended up dying in a foreign land.
The women of this era were so unfortunate.
He only wanted to protect the martial arts universities, complete his mission, and save Pan Jinlian. When had he ever cared about the pain of others in this world?
Was he being too selfish?
Unknowingly, Cao Fei had been assimilated by the bits and pieces of this world.
"Sigh!"
Forget it!
If there was a chance, he would try his best to save her.
He did not expect the county magistrate, who was like a rice bag in a bar, to be more active and righteous than him.
From Cao Fei's sigh, he thought of the fate that the two women would face next, and he felt the same as Cao Fei.
After a while, he comforted her," Don't worry, Head Governor. According to the laws of our dynasty, there's an 80% chance that the concubines and servants of the Ximen Residence will be sold. The young women will be sold to the government, while the men will either be sent to the army or to the border. I'll suggest to the magistrate that they can be sold in Yanggu County in advance. If Head Governor is interested, you can spend some silver to buy the bottle. However, you can't snatch Mei 'er from me.”
The county magistrate pulled Mei 'er to his side and comforted her." After the case is over, you can come to my house. I will take care of you."”
Li Ping 'er saw that Mei' er had settled down in an instant, and her beautiful eyes were locked on Cao Fei.
The latter's face turned red from being stared at, but he was not as thick-skinned and black-hearted as the county magistrate. He immediately coughed and said,"I have my own arrangements."
After leaving behind a promise that wasn't considered a promise, Cao Fei fled from the private room.
