Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Person the County Magistrate Thinks of Day and Night

The soldier realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly arranged for them to meet the County Magistrate.

At that time, the County Magistrate was lying in the Yamen, disheartened and frustrated.

Ever since the Third Prince had allowed the bandits into the Eastern Land, every place had fallen into chaos, and Dai County was suffering greatly from it.

Although numerous bounty posters were put up, those who came forward were unreliable youths, and he had harbored no hope.

Now, with Biluo City in crisis and the Third Prince having gone to Biluo City, there would be the threat of the Ninth Prince from the outside and the chaos wreaked by the bandits on the inside, a great turbulence was bound to engulf the Eastern Land!

As the parental official of Dai County, he did not expect to soar to success, but at the very least, he hoped for peace and order within his jurisdiction.

Therefore, these bandits had become a major concern, causing him more headaches than a son who spent all day seeking pleasures.

But he was at a loss for what to do.

Though Dai County was large, most of the able-bodied men had been conscripted, and even a considerable number of Government Officials had been called up.

Now, his Yamen consisted of less than ten men in each of the three classes, and even the Soap Class responsible for proclaiming might and valor was gone, often requiring substitutes from the Strong Class during trials.

He had also posted rewards, encouraging Village chivalrous warriors to help capture the bandits, but the usual volunteers who helped catch mountain bandits had all enlisted, leaving only the elderly, the weak, and women; who was there to respond?

At present, the pile of petitions for justice on his desk was growing taller by the day, and he was unable to solve a single case, leaving him in a state of extreme anxiety.

Just then, a Leader of the Guards galloped back with urgent news, informing him that someone had captured members of the Black Spider and had come to claim their Reward Silver.

The County Magistrate leaped from his chair in a jolt, "What did you say??"

"Reporting to the County Magistrate, just now, two young villagers came pushing over fifty bodies claiming to collect the bounty, and upon examination, indeed several were on the Bounty list," explained the Leader of the Guards tirelessly.

"Where are they? Where are they now?"

"Just outside the County Yamen."

"Quick! Take me to see!"

The County Magistrate said as he dashed out with such agility that it seemed at odds with his plump appearance.

Outside, many villagers had gathered, all discussing the five carts of corpses with great interest.

Standing beside the carts were two youths, their genders indistinguishable and their demeanor extraordinary, clearly the young masters from some Noble Family.

They were dressed in bright crimson, very conspicuous in front of the heap of corpses.

As the onlooking villagers speculating about the identity of the bodies on the carts, the County Magistrate came running out, his face filled with tension.

Upon seeing the exposed big feet on the cart, he excitedly lifted the straw, and his eyes met with the pallid faces of the deceased.

Yet these were the very individuals that the County Magistrate had longed for in his thoughts.

The County Magistrate, far from appalled, examined the corpses carefully and finally recognized a familiar face among them, the Black Spider’s underboss, Black Nine.

With elated hand claps, the County Magistrate exclaimed, "Ahahaha! It’s him! It’s him!"

"Where are the chivalrous ones? Where are the Villagers who brought the Black Spider’s Black Nine to justice? I, the County Magistrate, want to personally reward them!"

"Reporting to the County Magistrate, here they are," said the Leader of the Guards, pointing to two children standing behind the County Magistrate.

Huh?

The County Magistrate turned around in surprise and saw indeed two children standing behind him. At first, he thought they were just onlookers and paid them no mind, but it turned out that they were the very Village chivalrous warriors who had made significant contributions this time.

With a look of astonishment, the County Magistrate asked, "Truly? It’s you?"

Li Wenli replied, bowing with a fist in palm, "It is."

The County Magistrate blinked again, seeming somewhat incredulous.
