The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In order to show his importance, the county magistrate arranged for Xiao Rui, Zhuge Liuying, and Wu Zhanfa to live in the guest room of the county government's back house.

Fighting during the day exhausted Xiao Rui, so he went to bed early after dinner.

Around Choushi, a black shadow suddenly jumped into the back house, waking Wu Zhanfa, who was sitting in the room guard, and he immediately approached the door to be alert to the movement of the shadow. Seeing that the black shadow was touching Xiao Rui's room, he immediately broke through the door to capture and kill him.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow was vigilant and fled in despair.

Wu Zhanfa was afraid that he would divert the tiger away from the mountain, so instead of chasing him, he stayed in the courtyard instead.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Xiao Rui woke up naturally, and as soon as he left the room, he saw Wu Zhanfa standing guard.

"Are you standing all night?" Xiao Rui asked.

Wu Zhanfa said: "Yesterday, a man in black came in. I was worried that it would affect His Highness's rest, so I stayed here to watch the night."

"The man in black?" Xiao Rui was puzzled, and Zhuge Liuying from the next door also came out, and said, "I also found out last night, why did the man in black attack us when we first arrived here? The bandits are involved."

Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, then asked Wu Zhanfa to go down to rest for a while, and leave after breakfast.

Before breakfast, the Yamen's arresters sent Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying's weapons. They took them away for autopsy yesterday and compared them with the knife wounds on the bandits so that they could close the case and report it to the state government.

After breakfast, the three of them bid farewell to the old county magistrate. The old county magistrate thanked him again: "Thanks to Mr. Xiao and Miss Zhuge for killing bandits for the people of Qiuyang County. It's a pity that the three of you are busy. You must do your best to be a landlord. In addition, I will apply for rewards from the imperial court, and the three of you will come to the county government to collect them when you pass by here in the future."

Xiao Rui nodded, complimented a few words, and the three left the capital on horseback.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them left, the county lieutenant and master Bo hurried to find the old county magistrate.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, Wang Xiancheng was killed!" The master wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if because of the haste of running, the thin shirt all over his body was wet.

"What? Dead?" The old county magistrate was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Can the murderer be caught?"

The county captain said: "My lord, Mr. Xu and I went to Wang County Prime Minister's house to discuss government affairs with him. Unexpectedly, he died tragically at home. The three murderers escaped, but the servants in his house saw the faces of the three of them clearly!"

"Hurry up and hunt down, it's unreasonable to dare to kill an official ordered by the court!" The old county magistrate shouted.

Unexpectedly, the county lieutenant suddenly said: "This matter hastily reported to your lord, because according to eyewitnesses, the three murderers were the three who killed the bandits yesterday. The weapons are very similar, and I have ordered you to compare them."

The old county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "This... no way, the three of them wiped out the bandits for us in Qiuyang County, how could they kill the court officials?"

The county lieutenant resolutely said: "My lord, encircling and suppressing bandits and assassinating imperial officials are two different things. People in the Jianghu are doing a living by licking blood at the edge of a knife. What's more, after killing the bandits yesterday, he fled in a hurry without waiting for a few days to receive the reward." , it means that they absconded after the murder, otherwise how could they let go of the generous reward?"

The old county magistrate was taken aback, and was persuaded by the county lieutenant's statement. Indeed, leaving in a hurry without any reward was really unreasonable.

At this time, Wu Zuo hurried over and reported: "Three adults, my subordinates have already checked Wang Xiancheng's injuries, and he was hacked to death by a knife! Just in time, I checked the weapon of the man surnamed Xiao during the autopsy for the bandits yesterday. After comparison, it happened to coincide with Wang Xiancheng's knife wound, confirming that the three were the murderers!"

The county captain turned on the fire and said: "My lord, the murderer has already fled. Please give me an order. I will immediately gather the united troops and arrest them quickly. Otherwise, they will escape from the border of Qiuyang County, and we will have nowhere to search. My lord, don't delay. This dead man is an official of the imperial court!"

The old county magistrate nodded and said: "Hurry up and hunt him down. It's best to capture him alive. I will interrogate him myself."

"My lord, the three of them are highly skilled in martial arts. If they fight in a corner, I can't guarantee whether they can be captured alive." The county lieutenant squinted his eyes, and there was a murderous look in the depths of his eyes.

The old magistrate sighed and nodded.

The county lieutenant immediately went out of the mansion, leading the police and 30 local united soldiers to chase after him.

When the three of Xiao Rui left the city, they didn't run fast for the sake of their journey, so after leaving Qiuyang County for more than a dozen miles, they were chased by the county lieutenant, armed with guns, sticks, and even bows and arrows.

The three of Xiao Rui were still puzzled, and the county captain had already surrounded the three of them.

The county lieutenant sat on the horse and stood outside the encirclement, and shouted coldly: "Xiao Qirui, the three of you killed the county magistrate of Qiuyang County. The evidence is solid. I am here to arrest you and bring you back to the county government for interrogation under the order of the county magistrate!"

After all, he raised his hand, and the united soldiers set up their arrows and drew their bows, and the arrows rained like awns, aiming at the three of them.

Wu Zhanfa was startled, and immediately reached out to protect Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying looked at each other and smiled immediately. Xiao Rui asked, "The evidence is solid? County captain, where did you get the evidence?"

"The officer said there is evidence, so there is evidence. Since the three of you are stubbornly resisting, come and shoot!" The county captain waved his hand, and the murderous look on his face could no longer be hidden.

Whizzing…

In an instant, bows and arrows shot at the three of them like rain.

Zhuge Liuying's movement is like a swimming dragon, dexterous and changeable, and the knife in his hand is waving like a flower, blocking all the arrow rain.

Xiao Rui had never experienced the attack of arrow rain, and his physical skills were poor, so he couldn't defend at all, but fortunately he had Wu Zhanshu to protect him. He flicked the package on his back and took out a long gown. The long gown waved like a python, and the arrow rain Block them all to protect Xiao Rui's safety.

The county lieutenant was shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect the three of them to be so skilled in martial arts, especially the burly man who blocked the dense rain of arrows with his hands.

"Shoot, shoot!" the county lieutenant shouted.

Wu Zhanfa grinned at the corner of his mouth, showing a sneer, and flicked the rain of arrows rolled up by his long sleeves forcefully, reflecting them all back. In an instant, the opponent was in a mess, and many united soldiers were hit by bows and arrows. Wu Zhanfa ran suddenly, tore open the encirclement in an instant, and captured the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant was a bandit, and he was very vicious. He jumped up from his horse, drew his broad-backed sword, and slashed at Wu Zhanfa.

Wu Zhanfa swayed to avoid the county lieutenant's downward strike, then reached out to grab the county lieutenant's back of the sword, and then hit the county lieutenant's chest with another punch, sending him flying several meters away.

This is also Wu Zhanfa's mercy. The county lieutenant possesses martial arts skills. If it were an ordinary person, he would shatter his breastbone with one punch.

Wu Zhanfa stepped on the county lieutenant and shouted, "Stop!"

The police and the united soldiers looked at each other, and they were so intimidated that they dared not move.

Xiao Rui's belly was on fire. If Wu Zhanfa hadn't followed him, going out this time would have been fatal, so maybe the explanation is here.

"The county magistrate is dead, who said we did it?" Xiao Rui asked coldly.

The county lieutenant only felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he heard Xiao Rui's question, he trembled all over, rolled his eyes and said, "It's an order from the county magistrate, and I'm obeying the order. Please forgive my life."

Xiao Rui frowned slightly. Although he didn't have deep contact with the old county magistrate, he still had a good eye for seeing people. The old county magistrate was not that kind of treacherous person.

wrong!

Xiao Rui changed his mind, he felt that he had become a pawn, it seems that things are not that simple.

"Battle method, capture him, let's go back to Qiuyang County!" Xiao Rui ordered immediately.
