Chapter 93 Scare
"The man above you is named Mu Zhengbai. He is a prisoner. I am the official responsible for escorting him. Please hand him back to me."

Li Jiang straightened his dirty official uniform, took a step forward, looked at the stall owner with a stern face, and displayed his official badge.

The stall owner was reluctant to part with this free money-making thing, and when he saw the official badge, he showed a little hesitation.

He didn't dare to really offend the official. If he interfered with the official's duties, he would be caught and sent to the Yamen to be punished.

The stall owner has always been a ruthless person. His suspicious eyes lingered on Li Jiang's wrinkled and dirty official uniform. He also looked at his haggard face. Why didn't he look like a serious official? He only suspected that this person was... After all, it is not too difficult for those who come here to deceive and kidnap someone to get a dirty official uniform and then forge a token.

Thinking of this, the stall owner put on a fierce look, stared at Li Jiang coldly, sneered, shook the whip in his hand, and threatened: "I rescued this man, and it is only natural that he works for me. How far is it?" Get away as far as you can, and don’t stop me from making money!”

"Dang!" A crisp sound suddenly sounded.

Seeing that this man was out of luck, Li Jiang pulled out the saber from his waist without any hesitation.

The glistening blade was still stained with solidified blood. Li Jiang's expression was cold, and he stared at the stall owner with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you going to let him go?"

He usually manages prisoners of various religions, and he knows very well that sometimes a sharp blade is more effective than using up your words.

Many criminals who look vicious are actually cowards who are tough on the outside but weak on the inside. As long as they give a few scares, they will naturally obey.

What's more, according to the laws of this dynasty, ordinary people are not allowed to enslave others without authorization.

As soon as the saber came out, it turned out to be much more effective than anything else. The stall owner was frightened and froze, his expression a little distorted.

"Okay, okay, sir, if you have something to say, please tell me. I'll let you go right away, can't you?"

The sharp blade was only a few inches away from him, and the stall owner didn't dare to move, with a fawning smile on his strong face.

"Let him go now."

Seeing that he immediately surrendered, Li Jiang put away the saber, stared at him coldly, and uttered a few words coldly.

"Let them go, let them go! Let them go now."

The stall owner turned around, looked at Mu Yunbai on the table, and waved him down.

Mu Yunbai showed a happy face and quickly ran down from the stage and stood next to Li Jiang.

Having lost someone in vain, the stall owner looked quite ugly. Without even looking at Mu Zhengbai, he waved his hand and said, "You can go."

"Close the stall!" The stall owner was in a very bad mood. He just secretly said that he really went out today and didn't look at the almanac. He waved to the two waiters standing behind him.

Standing next to Li Jiang, Mu Zhengbai became more arrogant again. He puffed at the stall owner arrogantly and cursed a few dirty words, and then he felt relieved.

Mu Zhengbai turned around and looked at Mu Yunxiao with a happy face. He immediately behaved like an elder and pretended to pat his son on the shoulder, speaking hypocritically.

"Son! I knew you wouldn't ignore your father."

Mu Yunxiao silently avoided the hand he extended, with a cold expression and no intention of paying any attention to him.

Mu Zhengbai's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at him fiercely for a long time, cursing his unfilial son over and over again.

After scolding a few words, Mu Zhengbai felt hungry again, stared at Ruan He angrily, and opened his mouth to give a lecture. "I'm hungry, bring me something to eat."

Compared with before the accident, Mu Zhengbai looked much thinner and his face turned pale. It could be seen that life as a busker at the stall owner was quite difficult.

Even during this exile, Mu Zhengbai did not lack his own food and did not lose weight.

Ruan He naturally had no shortage of food in his hands. Not to mention that it was inconvenient to take it out, he did not intend to give it to Mu Zhengbai.

She just pretended not to hear and continued walking on her own path without any intention of paying any attention to Mu Zhengbai.

Mu Zhengbai was ignored again, his face was sullen and angry, and he was about to curse a few more words.

Li Jiang shook the saber in his hand, looked at him with a frown, and gave him a cold scolding.

"be honest!"

Mu Zhengbai was as frightened as a quail, and immediately calmed down, and for the time being followed the others in a well-behaved manner.

He was beaten and scolded by the busking stall owner, and after Chad was liberated, he couldn't help but become arrogant. After being trained like this by Li Jiang, he remembered that he was still an exiled prisoner.

It wouldn't be too much if this official could give him a slap in the face.

They looked for missing prisoners along the way, focusing on looking for beggars passing by.
After all, those prisoners were penniless, and most of them came from aristocratic families, had no means, and had no other way to support themselves.

After searching for half an hour, there was no result. Li Jiang's frown deepened, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

"Boss, look for it slowly. If it comes from the water, it may not be in this county."

Wang Xiaoer comforted him helplessly. He was also anxious, but fortunately he was generous and not as anxious as his boss.

"I can't find the prisoner, so I can't explain it."

Li Jiang pressed his swollen eyebrows, and felt a faint pain and numbness from the wound on his abdomen. He had just bought the golden sore medicine and applied it for a while. The injury would still take some time to recover.

After being silent for a while, Mu Zhengbai pricked up his ears, heard their conversation, and took advantage of it again.

"Stop looking for someone! Get me something to eat quickly! If you can't find anyone else now, if I starve to death, let's see how you manage!"

Mu Zhengbai crossed his arms and sneered, his triumphant eyes lingering between them.

His clown-like appearance was unanimously ignored by everyone.

Wang Xiaoer sneered, but he had some time to play with him. He stared at him with a fierce expression for a while, and then said in a cold and frightening voice: "The superiors only ask us to send people there. If we encounter something like this along the way, Due to some accident, an arm or a leg is missing, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Compared to Li Jiang, who is serious and seldom talks, Wang Xiaoer is better at dealing with this kind of scoundrel.

The threatening words immediately made Mu Zhengbai's face turn pale. He trembled his lips and said harshly: "You... how dare you..."

However, his voice became weaker and weaker, and he did not dare to say any more questions, for fear that Wang Xiaoer would really do something to him.
