"Chen Tiefeng?" Qiu Batian frowned slightly, "Never heard of it."

After saying this, he looked at his servant.

"I...I think I've heard of it," one of the servants nodded, "There seems to be a man named Tie Feng in the Yamen."

"Boss Qiu," Xu Zhen stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "I have been ordered by County Magistrate Song to invite you to the Yamen!"

As he spoke, he took out the detention card from his arms.

A detention card is a token used to summon or arrest a defendant. It is a rectangular bamboo stick with the word "Jun" engraved on it.

Everyone was surprised when they heard Xu Zhen's words.

"This... this is a detention card!" Finally, a servant came to his senses, "Does the Yamen want to arrest our Lord Qiu?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

"What? The Yamen?" Another servant said arrogantly, "The Yamen is not qualified to carry our Lord Qiu's shoes, but he still dares to carry them. It's a joke!"

"Hey," another servant pointed at Xu Zhen's nose and yelled, "Do you know who our Lord Qiu is? Are you crazy? What a brave dog!"

After shouting and scolding, everyone's eyes were all focused on Qiu Batian.

Qiu Batian chewed the grapes in his mouth, his eyes full of disdain, and after a while he said: "It's really interesting... Let me ask you, why did the Yamen want to arrest me?"

"It's not a detention, it's a summons!" Xu Zhen explained, "A case has arisen."

"Subpoena?" Qiu Batian was immediately curious, "So, I am the one who is facing a lawsuit? Someone wants to sue me?"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help laughing. Looking at the entire Yanping County, who dares to sue Qiu Batian?

"Who ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?" a certain servant shouted, "I'm so tired of living!"

"Boss Qiu," Xu Zhen clasped his fists again, "come to the Yamen with me and you will know what is going on!"

When Xu Zhen said this, all the servants immediately stopped smiling and gathered around aggressively.

"Why, is the Yamen so great?" One of them showed off his hard fist, "Get out of here while our Master Qiu doesn't get angry, or else even the police will beat him!"

"Wait a minute," unexpectedly, Qiu Batian ordered his men to stop and asked Xu Zhen, "I ask you, who wants to sue me and why?"

"This..." Xu Zhen acted the same way. According to the rules, the police officer could not reveal the facts of the case.

"Say it quickly! Are you looking for a beating!?" the servants threatened.

"Okay," Xu Zhen told the truth to Qiu Batian, "Someone accused you of kidnapping a woman and raping her last night, and this morning you stripped her naked and threw her into Yong'an Market!"

"..."

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, the scene fell into silence again.

Everyone looked at each other in silence, but their eyes turned to Qiu Batian uniformly.

Um?

what's the situation?

Suddenly, Xu Zhen's heart moved and he noticed something strange.

From the reactions of these servants, it seems that they have no knowledge of the case.

If they knew about the case, they would have shown a vague or disdainful expression, but now they only showed confusion.

what happened?

Could it be that... there is another hidden story behind this case?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen quickly looked at Qiu Batian.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Batian puffed up his cheeks and spat the grape skins in front of Xu Zhen's face!

Fortunately, Xu Zhen reacted quickly and with a wave of his card, he knocked off the grape skin.

"That's unreasonable! If you dare to take advantage of me, I think you all don't want to live anymore!" Qiu Batian was furious and shouted at Xu Zhen, "Go back and tell your county magistrate to come to my Zuixian Tower. , explain it to me personally! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude, hum..."

how……

Qiu Batian's reaction made Xu Zhen difficult to judge for a while.

Was Qiu Batian responsible for this case?

At this moment, the carriage that came to pick up Qiu Batian happened to drive from the backyard and stopped in front of everyone.

Qiu Batian walked straight to Xu Zhen and glared at Xu Zhen fiercely, implying that he wanted Xu Zhen to get out of the way and get in the car.

At this moment, Xu Zhen already felt that there was something wrong with the case. If the case was really not caused by Qiu Batian, then it would obviously be unwise for him to summon Qiu Batian to court today.

Therefore, Xu Zhen consciously stepped aside.

"Huh!" Qiu Batian snorted coldly and walked forward swaggeringly to the carriage.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, the moment the curtain opened, Xu Zhen suddenly saw two very young and disheveled girls appearing in the carriage!

In an instant, Xu Zhen was shocked as if he was electrocuted.

But I saw that the two girls had bruises and bruises all over their bodies. The corner of one of their eyes was so swollen that they couldn't even see their eyes.

It was obvious that the two girls had just been brutally beaten and ravaged. They leaned helplessly in the carriage and did not dare to move. Their eyes were desperate and lifeless.

When they saw Qiu Batian about to get into the car, the two girls suddenly showed fear and trembled, as if they were seeing demons from hell.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Xu Zhen couldn't help but clenched his fists. Thinking back to the proud faces of Cheng Xiao and others, he had already changed his mind.

"Boss Qiu," he suddenly said to Qiu Batian, who was about to get in the car, "don't you think that this case is a bit strange?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Qiu Batian stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since someone dares to go to the county government to sue you, there must be some reason behind it, right?" Xu Zhen said, "Before coming, our county magistrate specially asked me to give you a message. I think you'd better listen to it."

"Oh?" Qiu Batian was really curious, so he turned around and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Well..." Xu Zhen looked at his servants on his left and right, and said with an embarrassed expression, "You... you'd better... take a step to speak!"

As he said that, he waved his hand at Qiu Batian.

Qiu Batian squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but his strong curiosity still prompted him to walk out of the crowd and come to Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen approached Qiu Batian and whispered in a very solemn voice: "The county magistrate told me that there is a ghost around you."

"oh?"

This time, Qiu Batian looked even more shocked, having been led out of his rhythm by Xu Zhen.

However, Xu Zhen did not continue. Instead, he pointed to the tea stall opposite and walked over.

Qiu Batian hesitated for a moment, but still followed. He didn't believe what Xu Zhen could do to him in front of so many people.

Seeing Qiu Batian walking towards the tea stall, the servants wanted to follow, but they were all scolded back by him.

"Come on," Qiu Batian asked impatiently after arriving at the tea stall, "What is going on? Who is the ghost?"

"Look, the ghost next to you is that person!" As he said that, Xu Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed behind Qiu Batian.

As a result, as soon as Qiu Batian turned his head, Xu Zhen made a knife with his palm and struck Qiu Batian on the back of his neck!

The powerful impact immediately made Qiu Batian faint, and Xu Zhen threw him into the coal bucket pulled by the donkey.

At the same time, he picked up a piece of broken coal from the coal cart, raised his hand and threw it out, hitting Qiu Batian's horse on the buttocks of the carriage!

Wu Lulu...

The tall horse in pain suddenly jumped up with its hooves and moved forward, just blocking Qiu Batian's servants.

Although the servants had already seen Boss Qiu being chopped unconscious and hijacked, and they intended to rush to rescue him, they were blocked by the carriage.

When they went around the carriage and chased after them, they found that the donkey carriage carrying Boss Qiu had already disappeared at the end of the long street, leaving only two confused coal pullers in front of the tea stall...
