Chapter 255 It was nothing more than a struggle before death.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Magistrate Feng understood what the clerk meant and immediately agreed, using the clerk’s body as a crutch to help him stand up.
"Men, kill the Xia family members who are impersonating generals under the Jiang King!" Magistrate Feng ordered through gritted teeth.
The thousands of people gathered here thought that things were about to take a turn for the better for the Xia family, but they never expected that... it would end up like this.
They lowered their heads even further, too afraid to look.
"Even if you are the county magistrate, you cannot kill civilians indiscriminately!" Brother Xia shouted.
"You are the family of those who impersonated generals under King Jiang. I may kill you, it's to clean up those imposters for King Jiang! Besides, what kind of people are you? When I return to the county office, I will change your household registration!" Magistrate Feng thought that if he was going to offend someone, he would offend them completely.
"Hehe," Xia Mo raised her hands, and two short sticks appeared in her left and right hands.
"on!"
The clerk urged the constables to take action.
"Are you sure you want to listen to them?" Xia Mo looked at the constables surrounding his house and asked again.
She doesn't care about cause and effect, but she has her own bottom line.
The yamen runners knew that this was because their new magistrate had become greedy, but...
The constables exchanged glances, but ultimately chose to draw their swords.
"Nah!"
"Little sister!"
Xia's father and the others nervously called out, and they also took action, deciding to confront the yamen runners with their bare hands.
"Good lads of Anjia Village! We are united as one! We will not bow down to corrupt officials!" Gao Lizheng shouted loudly, and half of the people in Anjia Village moved.
Half of the villagers of Anjia Village surrounded the Xia family, protecting them in the center.
Magistrate Feng and his men were merely struggling before their deaths.
With a light leap, Xia Mo escaped the encirclement and simply explained to Gao Lizheng, "I am not a weak woman."
"I am not a weak father either!"
Xia's father also stepped forward, saying that he couldn't just rely on others to protect him all the time.
"My Xia family also has fine sons!"
Brother Xia Er shouted, and he and Brother Xia Dage stepped out from the protective circle.
"A bunch of troublemakers, arrest them all!" Magistrate Feng was surprised by the unity of the people of Anjia Village and immediately shouted angrily at his constables.
Magistrate Feng's face turned pale with anger, but he didn't notice that the yamen runners were holding knives but hadn't moved.
There were only twelve of them, while there were two or three hundred able-bodied young men from Anjia Village. How could they possibly be a match for so many people?
The magistrate even ordered them to arrest all of these people; that was utterly absurd.
"Quick!"
The clerk, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, urged the constables on.
The yamen runners exchanged glances, their backs to the clerk and magistrate, and gave the people of Anjia Village a pleading look.
Whether the others in Anjia Village understood or not, we don't know, but Xia Mo Miao did.
Instead of forcing the people of Anjia Village to surrender, the yamen runners made them put on a show before knocking them unconscious.
"I'll do it," Xia Mo said, light as a feather, leaping up easily and nimbly striking one of the constables on the head with her short stick.
The constables were a little panicked; would someone die?
As Xia Mo turned her back to the county magistrate and his men, the yamen runners facing her silently parted their lips and uttered: "Knock her out."
The constables glanced at their colleague who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, understood, and, knife in hand, pounced on Xia Mo again.
Xia Mo put on a show, deliberately dodging the constables with skill to demonstrate his strength, and then knocking them unconscious with a short stick.
As a result, none of the twelve constables brought by Magistrate Feng escaped; they were all knocked unconscious.
Magistrate Feng was terrified and immediately turned to flee.
Xia Mo gracefully tiptoed up and, with a light tap on the back of Magistrate Feng's head, knocked him unconscious.
The clerk hurriedly said, "It's not my fault. I was just following the orders of our magistrate... Ah..."
The clerk wanted to pin all the blame on the unconscious Magistrate Feng, but Xia Mo glanced at the clerk disdainfully and knocked him unconscious as well.
Without Xia Mo having to lift a finger, Xia's father and the others quickly wove thick straw ropes and tied up Magistrate Feng and his men.
The person was tied up, but...
"What do we do next?" Xia's father asked Xia Mo.
Xia's father and mother had very complicated feelings at this moment. Every time they saw Xia Mo's armor, their feelings became even more complicated.
They didn't know what their daughter was doing when she left home, but judging from the armor she wore, she must have been doing something dangerous. Sigh...
It's all their fault for being useless and unable to protect their own daughter.
Xia Mo suppressed his aura and became gentle and harmless again, saying, "These people are using their official positions to suppress the people, and they also claim that I am impersonating a general under the Jiang King. Why don't we just send him to the garrison to be guarded by the garrison, and then hand him over to the prefect!"
"Very good!"
When Gao Lizheng heard that Xia Mo had a plan, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then he realized that his previous idea of pairing his Xiao Wu with Xia Mo was really... wishful thinking!
Now that Xia Mo is a general, his youngest son is nothing, so why is he unworthy of him?
Boss Gao set up the oxcart, and together with Brother Xia, they threw Magistrate Feng and his men onto the oxcart and horse-drawn carriage, dragging the fourteen men along the route that would take three days and two nights to reach the garrison.
Three days and two nights later—
The garrison camp outside Lingzhou Prefecture City—
Xia Mo appeared wearing the uniform of a general under Jiang's army. The sentry immediately alerted him, and soon the garrison general personally came out to greet him.
Regardless of whether Xia Mo's general identity is real or not, let's first be polite.
"May I ask who you are?" The burly General Lu, the garrison commander, clasped his hands in greeting to Xia Mo, who was clasped in armor. But the moment he saw Xia Mo's face, he was instantly stunned by her beauty.
With a cold expression, Xia Mo directly took out the bronze token given to her by Huangfu Qian and handed it over.
General Lu took it, examined it carefully, and immediately became even more respectful: "This humble general greets General Xia!"
The end of summer points to the fourteen people on the carriage.
At this time, Magistrate Feng and his men had already woken up, but they were tied up tightly.
Brother Xia stepped forward, handed over his scholar's certificate, introduced his family, and briefly explained the situation.
“This is indeed General Xia under the command of King Jiang! King Jiang notified all the armies when he conferred the official titles! Naturally, this included us garrison troops!” General Lu said to Magistrate Feng with a stern face.
Magistrate Feng, having lost all will to live, allowed Xia Erge and the others to escort him into the military prison.
They didn't want to plead guilty, but they knew that with so many witnesses, they couldn't possibly deny it!
They can't truly accept their fate, after all, they have powerful backers!
"Rest assured, leave this matter to me. I will certainly give Lord Xia a satisfactory answer!" General Lu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xia Mo once again.
"Hmm," Xia Mo nodded slightly, facing the sky, and used her divine sense to emit a silent whistle.
General Lu didn't understand, but exaggeratedly showed great shock and stayed by Xia Mo's side.
About fifteen minutes later, a magnificent falcon swooped down from the sky.
"General Xia, be careful!" General Lu, like most men at the time, thought that Xia Mo was able to become a general mostly because of her beauty, and that she actually had no military achievements or abilities.
“It’s alright,” Xia Mo waved and extended her hand.
The falcon landed on Xia Mo's arm, instinctively being careful not to grip its claws too tightly.
General Lu was truly shocked at this moment.
If he wasn't mistaken, the markings on the feet must be the special communication signal used by the Jiang family army!
What surprised him most was that... this huge pig-eagle weighed at least forty or fifty pounds, yet Xia Mo easily lifted it with one hand.
