Chapter 59: Chapter 59-Exposed

Translator: 549690339

Although County Magistrate Zhang’s scholar’s divine essence was crippled, at this distance, he could see it clearly.

The surroundings were very lively. People came and went. From time to time, there would be commoners pointing at them.

Because there were too many people, it was noisy. Everyone said a sentence, and when they were put together, it seemed noisy and disorderly.

However, County Magistrate Zhang did not see anyone else. He even automatically filtered out the surrounding sounds and only saw Xu Bai.

That face…Of course he knew him. He had called this person to the yamen the night before and threatened him.

He knew this person’s identity better than anyone else.

At this moment, this man was smiling at him. It was a strange smile.

He felt that the smile was creepy. Just looking at it made his whole body go numb. Moreover, there was a trace of bafflement in the smile.

It was as if…Taunt!

Or perhaps…Playing with him!

County Magistrate Zhang kept thinking about how scared this man was when he called him to the county office that night.

But now, he was actually smiling at her, smiling so happily.

Why?

This shouldn’t be!

County Magistrate Zhang’s mind was in turmoil. Then, he pieced all the fragments together and came to a conclusion.

“It’s him! He was pretending that night!”

All of this was his doing. The escort master of the Dragon Conqueror Escort Agency was that mysterious person.

County Magistrate Zhang stared at Xu Bai. He had already gotten the message from Xu Bai’s smile.

“No wonder, no wonder that wooden box was empty. It wasn’t stolen by anyone, but he took it himself.”

After understanding this point, all the clues were connected and finally strung into a straight line. From beginning to end, it was clear.

“Wuwuwu!” County Magistrate Zhang whimpered, but he couldn’t speak at all because he was blocked by a rag.

The needle between his eyebrows was still inserted, making him weak all over. He struggled very little.

He wanted revenge. He wanted to let Li Daoling know the mysterious person’s true identity.

He was about to die. He could not let this man live well!

“Wuwuwu!”

County Magistrate Zhang turned his head and looked in Li Daoling’s direction, only to be met with a cold face.

Looking at this cold face, his expression froze as if he had thought of something.

Li Daoling held the wooden token in his hand. He did not look at County Magistrate Zhang’s expression. Seeing that the time was up, he waved his sleeve and threw it on the ground.

“Slash!”

“Wuwuwu!” County Magistrate Zhang was furious and continued to whimper.

But Li Daoling didn’t listen to him.

He was already a dying man. Blocking his mouth was to stop him from talking nonsense on the execution ground.

From Li Daoling’s point of view, everything was going smoothly, and he didn’t want to cause any trouble.

After killing County Magistrate Zhang and reporting to the person in the capital, he had completed a mission. At least he had killed the chicken to warn the monkeys.

Li Daoling managed Jing Yundao and had beheaded many people before. For someone like this to still want to talk before going to the execution ground, it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Some cursed before they died, some cried out in despair, and some even spoke nonsense.

What time was it now?

The surrounding commoners were still watching. How could they let him speak?

If he said something related to him or made up a story, it would be very troublesome.

Rumors are terrible…

The sooner he finished, the better he could return to Jing Yun.

“Wuwuwu!” County Magistrate Zhang was still struggling. The despair in his heart was growing, and he was unwilling to give up.

How muddle-headed!

Quickly remove the cloth from my mouth, I want to speak!

County Magistrate Zhang wailed.

Despair enveloped his heart. No one could save him.

Behind him, the executioner drank a bowl of wine and sprayed it on his knife.

“Pfft-”

County Magistrate Zhang heard the voice and turned his head. He saw the saber that was flickering with a cold light.

NO!

He shouted in his heart.

However, the executioner did not give him the chance. He raised his hand and slashed down. County Magistrate Zhang felt a pain in his neck, and then his vision began to turn around.

The knife was very fast, so County Magistrate Zhang was able to retain his consciousness for a moment. In his rotating vision, he saw Xu Bai.

Xu Bai’s mouth moved slightly, and he uttered a soundless sentence.

County Magistrate Zhang recognized the meaning of this sentence through the shape of his mouth.

“Xiao Yue…”

It was just these two words, but he felt like he had just woken up from a dream.

He finally understood why he had offended Xu Bai.

“So…lt was for that girl…Hehe…”

This was his last thought, and his consciousness completely disappeared.

County Magistrate Zhang died with his eyes wide open.

The scene of the beheading was very exciting. Many people covered their eyes and peeked through their fingers from time to time.

In Great Chu, the commoners would go to watch the execution.

In order to effectively intimidate the people and reduce crime, the emperor often allowed or organized the people to watch the execution.

When the people who watched the show returned, they would tell their relatives and friends what mistakes the person had made, and what his family had been implicated in. At the same time, they would also tell them the tragic situation of the criminal.

Such publicity was much better than the government’s ” advertisement “. It really had the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, thus warning more people not to take the risk.

Now that everyone had seen it, they would definitely talk about this experience after dinner.

“Disperse. Leave a few people behind to clean up the execution ground.”

After the beheading, Li Daoling stood up and left after saying a few words.

The remaining bailiffs were cleaning up the execution ground, and the commoners gradually dispersed when they saw that the fun was over.

Xu Bai did not intend to stay either. He turned around and prepared to leave the execution ground and return to the Bodyguard Agency.

Now that he was done here, he should go back and prepare. When the time came, he would look for No Flower and comprehend his head.

“No, that’s not right. It’s not that strict. It’s not the head that I’m comprehending, but the progress bar.”Xu Bai thought.

For him, the most important thing was the progress bar. Everything else could be placed second.

This world was not as peaceful and prosperous as he had imagined. Everything depended on strength. The more tricks he had, the stronger his ability to survive

It was almost a month away, and the bookstore was going to be replaced with new books. He had informed the bookstore owner last time, so he happened to go over and see if he could find any books with progress bars.

“Let’s set it up like this first.”

As he thought about it, Xu Bai prepared to go to the Bodyguard Agency to pack up. When he was done, he would go to the Liu residence at night.

At this moment, the streets were filled with people who were going home.

After passing through many streets and a remote alley, Xu Bai was about to return to the Escort Agency.

However, at this moment, two people appeared in front of him and blocked his path.

When he saw the two of them, Xu Bai was slightly stunned, and then his face darkened.

There was a woman in white with a veil over her face and a bald monk in green.

The two of them stood opposite him and blocked his path.

Xu Bai stopped in his tracks and placed his hand on Ghost Head Blade’s hilt. His gaze was fixed on Liu Xu and No Flower..
