Chapter 1205 Everyone Fainted

d in his stomach.After finishing, he couldn't hold back and vomited continuously.Zong Yu was dumbfounded. There was something he had wanted to say just now, but before he could, Zong Hu stepped forwar...Chapter 1205: They All Fainted In The End

Fang Jinshu's expressionless face first drew the car curtain. Heaven knows how angry she was right now, she just kept it in and endured it. Since there were a group of reckless people who took the initiative to come to her door, no matter what their purpose was, Fang Jinshu decided to let these people have a taste of hardship.

Ashes was about to explain to the officer, his heart still in wonder. He, a prince of Xixia, was actually being arrested by Xixia officials as a murderer on the street. How did he get to this point

At this time, Fang Jinshi proactively said, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

A Sheng's face changed, he hurriedly turned his head to look at her, but he didn't get any response.

"Sister Jinxiu, aren't we in a hurry to leave Why go to the yamen with them"

Besides, we didn't kill anyone. When did we become murderers

It's just Ah Sheng, that silly boy, who really thinks these officials are arresting them for the crime of murder.

She had inquired about this town, but it was just an annex of the county government office. The local bigwig here was the magistrate's clerk, acting as a local bully. He usually helped the magistrate exploit the common people and amass wealth.

This magistrate here is just like a bandit or robber.

Fang Jinxiu was in a hurry and didn't intend to get involved, but it seemed that trouble had a way of finding her even when she tried to avoid it.

She probably attracted attention by being too generous when she first arrived in town.

Actually, Fang Jinshi had already been very restrained, but she still underestimated the poverty of this town. A mere one or two taels of silver could attract the attention of these government lackeys.

"Cooperating with the magistrate's investigation is our duty as citizens, Ah Sheng. We cannot resist him."

She was afraid that Ah Sheng would talk too much and make mistakes, so she reminded him.

Several officials in front of the carriage burst into laughter all at once.

"It's been ages since I've seen such a well-behaved young lady. She's right, you lot should cooperate and suffer less."

These officials were slightly excited when they saw Fang Jinshu's figure emerge from the carriage. This woman was so graceful, she must be a beautiful woman.

They also secretly thought, perhaps they had found a suitable gift for the magistrate's 50th birthday.

Never did I expect that when Fang Jinxiu raised her head, her dark skin and pockmarked face would truly be a waste of such a good figure.

Before Fang Jinshu came out, she quickly put on a black freckle makeup using the disguise products that Mujin had given her. She made sure those officials would be disgusted just by looking at her.

Now looking at their expressions, the effect was definitely achieved.

Asheng lowered his head, wanting to laugh but daring not. He saw the expressions on those officials' faces as they looked at Jinxiu, and thought if they knew her true appearance, they probably wouldn't be able to leave this county.

"This carriage is quite nice. Our manor will keep it safe for you first."

Fang Jinshu readily nodded. "Alright, Lord Governor, take it. It's no trouble to give it to you."

The young lady's generosity came as a huge surprise to everyone. Seeing the officer, this girl not only wasn't afraid, but was so cooperative and generous. Could it be that something is wrong with her head

These officials had thought of every possible reason, except that they themselves would be deceived.

They had become tyrants here, and no one dared to deceive them. Anyone who tricked them suffered a terrible fate, their entire family was punished without exception.

So they didn't think this way, Le Hehe took the carriage, thinking he had gotten a great deal.

Fang Jinshi and Asheng were taken to the county jail next door on charges of murder and thrown directly into prison.

Once inside the cell, Ah Sheng finally dared to speak. He had been holding it in all along.

"This is outrageous! Have these officials gone mad A mere local official dares to break the law and prey on the people. Are all those officials in the imperial court nothing but rice-eaters, oblivious to what's happening here"

Seeing Ah Sheng so angry was truly a surprise to Fang Jinxiu.

Do you care about the people here

Seeing the prison cell packed with prisoners, coupled with the demeanor of the officials, it's clear to see who these prisoners truly are.

This entire jail cell, the real criminals are probably few. The rest are all poor people who refuse to be controlled by the government and were caught by them!

"Seeing so many people suffering, of course I feel sorry for them," A Sheng nodded firmly.

"Although my father wasn't kind to me, he was a qualified ruler. I never expected that under his rule, Xixia would have such corrupt and dilapidated counties and towns, with no one overseeing them."

Fāng Jǐnxù nodded in satisfaction, still possessing a bit of the basic qualities befitting an emperor.

If A Sheng did not have a compassionate heart for the people, even if he had the ability to become the King of Xixia, she probably would not allow him to ascend.

"The territory of Xixia is also quite large. It's perfectly normal that your father, who has always resided in the depths of the imperial palace in the capital, wouldn't know about these things."

Every place has its own unique circumstances, so being an emperor is not an easy task.

A Sheng seemed to know that Fang Jinxiu's words were deliberately said for him to hear. He listened very attentively and kept these words in mind.

He didn't know if he could become emperor in the end, all he knew was that he wanted to do something for these suffering people right now.

"Sister Jinxiu, since we've already jumped into this muddy water and been caught, why not see it through to the end"

"You can't bear to see these people continue to be exploited by that corrupt official, can you"

Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered"

Although Hellie was the one who ordered your death, there's more than one prince in Xia. With him gone, the other princes will all vie for power. If they knew you were still alive, your brothers would definitely send someone to eliminate you right away.

"You'll never get the chance to return to the capital and vie for the throne with them."

A Sheng took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and replied with determination.

"I'm not afraid."

"Anyway, whether I come back early or late, I'm going to have a showdown with him either way."

"If I'm unlucky enough to die at their hands, then that's just my fate."

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu felt a little headache.

She slapped Ah Sheng hard on the back, “Don’t talk nonsense, with me here, who dares to let you die.”

"Alright, since you say we should control it, then let's get a good handle on it."

"What a shame about that carriage, it's going to those government lackeys for cheap."

A carriage doesn't come cheap, a regular constable's monthly salary is only over one tael of silver. Even the most run-down carriage, including the horses, costs over ten taels. Ah Sheng felt a pang of heartache.

Fang Jinshu however, curled her lip into a cold smile.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. My things aren't that valuable anyway. Those officials are probably running around looking for a doctor now."

Poisoning is merely the most basic option; how could her carriage possibly have no protection whatsoever

Although the poison was unknown, it could cause extreme pain and even paralysis.

At this very moment, the few officers who had thrown Fang Jinshiu into prison were rolling around on the ground near the carriage, their faces contorted in agony and sweat dripping from their brows.

The common people around were unaware of the situation, but they didn't dare to approach these people easily. For a time, no one came forward to help these officials summon a doctor. Before other officials received the news and rushed over, these people suffered for more than half an hour, and finally all fainted.ained clearly.For three years that Lao San occupied the manor, even Zong Hu's elder brother and his family weren't spared. They were implicated and suffered greatly. Zong Hu's elder brother had a leg...
