Liu Erlang was puzzled. “Huh, where’s my brother? Didn’t he go to your house?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Erlang. The black aura on his face was gone.

Initially, Liu Sanniang was most worried about Liu Erlang. Liu Dalang was calm and usually would not be impulsive, but Liu Erlang was different.

Unexpectedly, Liu Dalang was the one in trouble and Liu Erlang was fine.

Was it really a coincidence that Liu Dalang was arrested by the government?

It was probably not an accident. If she wanted to know what was going on, Liu Sanniang had to go to the government.

Liu Sanniang said, “Second Brother, something happened to Eldest Brother. He was arrested by the government.”

Liu Erlang frowned. “What’s going on? Why was he arrested?”

Tang An and Tang Yuan lowered their heads in shame.

Liu Sanniang told him what happened. Liu Erlang couldn’t help but curse. “That old thing is a scumbag. Does he really think that he can still bully Tang Yuan? Where is that old thing now? I’m going to teach him a lesson.”

Tang Yuan quickly pulled Liu Erlang back. “Second Brother Liu, he was also arrested. Don’t be rash.”

Liu Erlang said, “That’s good then. Don’t worry. Once he gets back home, I’ll show him what the Liu family is made of.”

Tang Yuan nodded with tears rolling down his face. He asked, apparently in disbelief. “Second Brother Liu, don’t you blame us?”

Liu Erlang rubbed Tang Yuan’s head. “Why should I blame you? My eldest brother is a real man. Standing up for his family is what a real man should do. I think your uncle needs some good beating. Once he understands what pain feels like, he’ll behave himself. If something like this happens again, tell me. I’ll show him what a real man is.”

Tang An was also dumb struck.

Tang Yuan looked at Liu Erlang with admiration. At this moment, Liu Erlang was undoubtedly a hero in his heart. He nodded and said seriously, “Yes.”

Only then was Liu Erlang satisfied. “Alright, this is more like it.”

Tang Yuan smiled in embarrassment. He was thinking too much. The Liu family treated them as family not just on the surface but from the bottom of their heart.

Tang An was no longer as nervous. She whispered to Liu Erlang, “Thank you.”

Liu Erlang waved his hand. “Why are you thanking me? I didn’t do anything. When Eldest Brother comes out, you can thank him.”

Liu Sanniang held Tang An’s hand. “Wait for me at home. I’ll go and see what’s going on.”

Tang An nodded.

Liu Erlang chuckled. “Go ahead. I’ll tell Mom.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Liu Sanniang went out and walked straight to the government office. When the constables saw her, they knew why she was here. Officer Zhang cleared his throat and said, “Miss Liu, have you done something to offend Magistrate Li? I saw that your eldest brother was arrested.”

Being stared at by Liu Sanniang, Officer Zhang felt a little uncomfortable. He looked away and said, “Miss Liu, I’ll leave first. Magistrate Li is simply a demon. Everyone is in a state of panic now.”

The incident that happened in Huanghu Village still continued to traumatize Office Zhang.

Although it was an illusion, he could remember a lot. He remembered that the role he played was that of a widow who wanted to take Chu Yan away from Liu Sanniang…

Every time he thought of it, he wanted to kill himself. It was simply embarrassing.

After Officer Zhang left, Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief. She found it hard to talk to Office Zhang as well.

Liu Sanniang walked over to find Ligui waiting outside. He looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, please wait a moment. Let me go in and inform Magistrate Li.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”

Ligui turned around and went in. Soon, he came out and gestured for Liu Sanniang to come in.

She walked in. There was no one in the main hall, so she went to the side hall.

Li Guanfeng sat at the table and was writing when Liu Sanniang came in. He said calmly, “Miss Liu, please sit.”

Li Guanfeng did not look up nor did he stop writing.

Liu Sanniang walked over to sit down and waited quietly.

Li Guanfeng glanced at Liu Sanniang with a cold gaze and placed the brush beside the inkstone. He took a handkerchief and wiped the ink on his fingers. He said calmly, “Miss Liu, how long can you remain calm?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng. Through his face, she indeed saw marriage. It wasn’t clear whom he would marry, but marriage was certain.

Seeing that Liu Sanniang was silent, Li Guanfeng narrowed his eyes. “I’ve arrested more than a hundred guilty people. They’re unfilial, disloyal, evil, and crazy. There are also countless people I haven’t arrested. As long as I want, I can sentence them to death. Is killing the people who deserve to die doing justice on behalf of the heavens?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng. “Is abusing the criminal law considered enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens?”

Li Guanfeng snorted. “Your brother is arrested on charge of attempted murder. I can easily lock him up for three years.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng helplessly. “What do you want?”

Li Guanfeng smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “Will Miss Liu compromise too?”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I’m human, so I have weaknesses. Of course I’ll compromise.”

Li Guanfeng smiled and said, “It’s good that you can think like that.”

Liu Sanniang looked at the bell on Li Guanfeng’s wrist. “Can you ask her to come out? I want to see her.”

Li Guanfeng reached out and touched the bell. He said in a gentle voice, “Xiaowu, come out.”

Only at this moment did Li Guanfeng look like someone with human emotions.

Black smoke came out of the bell and quickly turned into a figure.

Xiaowu looked at Liu Sanniang. “Will you really help me stay with my brother?”

Liu Sanniang looked at her and said, “Xiaowu, if you stay, you will have to do so at the cost of many lives. Your hands will be covered in blood and you will become a sinful soul. After Magistrate Li dies, he’ll reincarnate, but you will go to hell.”

Xiaowu suddenly realized that a sinful soul would indeed end up in hell.

Li Guanfeng’s eyes were piercing as he quickly said, “So what? I won’t reincarnate. I’ll go to hell to be with her.”

As long as they could be together in this life. That would be enough.

Liu Sanniang looked at Xiaowu. “You love him so much that you can give up your life to him. Do you really want to see him suffering in hell?”

Xiaowu immediately shook her head. “No, I don’t.”

At the thought of how painful it would be in hell, she hesitated.

Liu Sanniang continued. “If you leave, he will have a good marriage. He will have many children and grandchildren and will die in peace.”

Li Guanfeng could not hide his anger. He swept the things on the table to the ground. There was killing intent in his eyes as he shouted. “Enough. Shut up.”
