The man in black glared and, losing his patience, spoke and then paused to think. Still somewhat uneasy, fearing that the dwarf might not die entirely and return to cause chaos, disturbing the Master’s beloved’s business–then it would indeed be strange if the Master didn’t chop him up. Thus, he unhooked a waist tablet from his belt, dangled it in front of the eyes, and said, “Take a good look at who we are, if you dare to help that dead dwarf, you better weigh your options carefully.”

In the courtyard of the County Yamen, hanging under several lanterns, the dim light revealed the waist tablet, causing the county magistrate to shudder all over.

“This humble official was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai, spare my life, Your Excellency.”

“Enough, get up. Just remember my words; otherwise, take care of your own head.”

“Yes, this humble official dares not, I will strictly follow Your Excellency’s orders.”

“Good to know, some people are not someone a small county magistrate like you can afford to provoke. Don’t help those you shouldn’t, bringing misfortune upon yourself, not to mention your family if it leads to your death.”

“Yes, Your Excellency’s admonition is correct.”

“Hmph!”

After a cold snort from the man in black, his figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this, the other men in black quickly followed.

Within a moment, the courtyard was empty, leaving only the county magistrate kneeling alone.

“My lord! Why are you out here in the middle of the night, not sleeping? Didn’t you get scared silly by that dwarf?” The wife of the county magistrate, upon waking and not seeing him in the room, came out draped in clothes to check.

“Stop talking nonsense, get inside quickly,”

Upon standing up, the county magistrate pulled his wife back into the house. Both groups they were dealing with were not to be trifled with; as a mere small-time county magistrate, he could not afford to offend either.

Mo Family Village

It had been over ten days since the last incident at Chuner Tower.

The Yamen Runners who had been troubling them incessantly were nowhere to be seen. Instead, the county magistrate made a visit bearing gifts, stating he was there on behalf of the government office to offer their apologies, remarking that the Yamen Runners should not disturb the citizens at will.

Nanny Sun was secretly astonished, having run a brothel for many years, she had never seen the county magistrate personally apologize to common citizens–it was truly an odd occurrence.

Instantly, she sent a letter to Xuexue via a homing pigeon to report the matter.

Xuexue was also extremely puzzled, wondering what kind of friends Big Bull really had to wield such influence that the county magistrate would personally come to apologize. She thought to ask Big Bull, but knowing him, he just smiled and didn’t respond, so she let it be.

That day, the two of them were chopping wood in the courtyard.

As usual, Big Bull was responsible for doing the chopping.

Xuexue was in charge of sorting the firewood, tying it bundle by bundle.

In the past days, they had cut a lot of firewood from the mountain, which they hadn’t yet managed to sort. Now they needed to chop it into sections and then bundle it up. When needed, they would simply take a bundle, making it convenient and orderly.

“Xuexue, Xuexue, are you home?”

At that moment, the village head’s voice came from outside the gate.

“I am!”

Xuexue called out loudly from the courtyard.

“Oh my, you being at home is marvelous, truly fantastic news, I came specially to tell you so you could be happy,” said the village head, unable to hide his excitement.

Xuexue, while tying a bundle of wood on the ground, smiled and said, “Uncle Village Chief, you look so excited, what’s the good news?”

“Oh my! Our Mo Family Village is about to experience good fortune. Did you know? The county magistrate is coming to our village tomorrow. Out of all the villages in all the neighborhood, none has received such an honor,” the village head could not contain his enthusiasm.
