Chapter 174 - 174 Afraid

174 Afraid

When the young constable heard this, he couldn’t help but mutter, “If they wanted to run, they wouldn’t have followed us back to the county office.”

“What did you say?” Huang Shan’s expression was a little ugly.

He wondered what he would do if he really provoked a big shot. On second thought, the most powerful person in this town was their county magistrate. The county magistrate was his brother-in-law. He was not afraid of trouble.

Thinking of this, Huang Shan raised his head and puffed out his chest. He snorted and turned his head away.

However, he did not dare to do anything to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue again.

After a while, the county magistrate, who they had been waiting for a long time, ran back. When he saw Huang Shan, Jiang Ying, and Ning Yue, he couldn’t help but frown.

Before the county magistrate could speak, Huang Shan cried to him, “Brother-in-law! You have to uphold justice. The wine in this woman’s shop killed people. The evidence is conclusive, but she still wants to deny it.”

The county magistrate wanted to see who was tied up, but he was interrupted by Huang Shan’s words. His gaze shifted to Huang Shan.

“Since this woman killed someone, why did you kidnap a man?” the magistrate asked.

He was about to turn to look at Jiang Ying when he was stopped by Huang Shan’s words.

“Brother-in-law, this man is this woman’s lover. He’s been trying to escape with the woman along the way.” Huang Shan pointed at the corpse on the ground.

Only then did the county magistrate see a white cloth covering the ground. He frowned and was about to say something when Jiang Ying stopped him.

“The county magistrate really has a lot of authority. He made us wait for a long time,” Jiang Ying said coldly.

At this moment, the county magistrate had time to size up Jiang Ying and Ning Yue. When his gaze landed on Jiang Ying, his eyes widened.

Seeing Jiang Ying’s face, the county magistrate trembled in his heart. It was over.

He almost fell to his knees. Before he could move, Huang Shan shouted, “You two actually didn’t kneel when you saw the county magistrate. Are you courting death?”

As he spoke, Huang Shan was about to get someone to force Jiang Ying and Ning Yue to kneel down.

Before Huang Shan could give the order, the county magistrate suddenly slapped him.

Huang Shan looked at the county magistrate in disbelief. “Brother-in-law, what are you doing?”

Under Huang Shan’s questioning, the county magistrate walked to Jiang Ying with trembling hands and untied him. Finally, under Huang Shan’s surprised gaze, he knelt down in front of Jiang Ying.

“Heir!” His voice trembled as he cursed Huang Shan in his heart.

This Huang Shan actually tied up the heir of Prince Jin! Wasn’t this asking for his life?

Hearing the county magistrate mention the heir, Huang Shan frowned. He did not react for a moment.

Heir? What was that?

“Hmph!” Jiang Ying snorted and walked straight to the main hall to sit down. He took the wooden gavel and slammed it against the table. With a bang, it was like a sledgehammer hitting the county magistrate’s chest, almost making him breathless.

“How dare you!” Before Huang Shan realized the seriousness of the matter, he pointed at Jiang Ying’s nose and was about to curse.

The county magistrate slapped him in the face again. “You’re the bold one. Do you know who this is? This is the current heir of Prince Jin. How dare you tie up the heir? If the heir doesn’t calm down, you won’t have enough heads to be chopped off!”

Hearing the title of Prince Jin’s heir, Huang Shan instantly panicked. His legs went limp and he knelt down to Jiang Ying. “I, I…”

So it was the heir! Oh no, he was in trouble now. Huang Shan wanted to cry.

It wasn’t just Huang Shan. The hooligans at the side were also stunned. In the past, no matter how much they went overboard, Huang Shan would guarantee that they would be fine. But this time, they were doomed!

Why did he provoke the heir of Prince Jin?

The hooligans couldn’t figure it out, and neither could Huang Shan.

“Didn’t you just say that you wanted to interrogate us?” Jiang Ying asked coldly.

Seeing this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Actually, there was no need for Jiang Ying to sit in the county magistrate’s seat. He only had to move his mouth and these people in front of him would be scared out of their wits. However, he insisted on sitting on it. It seemed that he did not want to be kind.

“No, no!” Huang Shan kowtowed heavily to Jiang Ying.

Even if he was given 100 guts, he would not dare to interrogate Prince Jin.

Besides, when Zhu Yu asked someone to call him, he did not say that the person in front of him was the heir of Prince Jin.

If he had known, he would definitely have kidnapped Zhu Yu!
