If it were before, Squad Leader Shi would surely be afraid, but now he sneers and walks straight up, slapping Hu Xueyao twice: "A mere plaything dares to obstruct the government office's case? Shut up quickly, or face severe punishment!"
Hu Xueyao was shocked. What is going on here? Squad Leader Shi actually dared to hit her? Who among the government office staff in Tong'an Prefecture didn't know that Hu Xueyao was the apple of Assistant Judge Jia's eye!
"Let's go, don't let the lords wait for too long." Squad Leader Shi glared at Hu Xueyao, called his men, and led Hu Xueyao, her mother, and a group of servants toward the government office.
Halfway there, they encountered citizens coming to watch the commotion.
However, Tong'an Prefecture had a copper mine with a stationed army overseeing the citizens strictly. Unlike He'an Prefecture's, the citizens here were less gossipy, only daring to watch from afar and whisper amongst themselves without getting too close.
