he County Magistrate and the Assistant Magistrate are only of the eighth rank, they need to be personally appointed by the Prefect. The County Head has no authority to interfere.Therefore, the highest...Upon arriving at the door, Zhou Kun was taken aback.

The scene outside the door was exactly as the butler had said!

A crowd of hundreds, along with countless onlookers, had surrounded the Zhou family's home, leaving no room for escape.

Yang Lin led a group of people, each holding a wooden box, standing at the door. Zhou Kun smelled a foul stench from afar!

"Yang Lin, you're so bold! You dare to come to my Zhou family and cause trouble! Do you really think my Zhou family is easy to bully"

Zhou Zhengyang pointed at Yang Lin and scolded him.

And you, a bunch of commoners, what are you all doing blocking this place Are you trying to die Get out of my way immediately or I'll have you all arrested!

Zhou Zhengyang pointed at the crowd watching the commotion and shouted angrily.

In the past, commoners wouldn't dare to provoke the Zhou family and would avoid stirring up trouble with them.

But today, they saw with their own eyes the bandits being killed. Right now, they are still filled with excitement and passion, their spirits high. Who would take Zhou Zhengyang's words seriously

After Zhou Zhengyang finished cursing, the common people remained unmoved. Yang Lin completely ignored him, which made Zhou Zhengyang even angrier.

Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves and step forward, Zhou Kun gave him a look.

Although Zhou Kun had worked as a prison warden in Jianghe County for many years, he was still very good at reading people.

He saw the grief and anger on Yang Lin and the villagers' faces, and he also saw the excitement in the crowd of onlookers. Although he didn't know what had happened yet, he could feel that the atmosphere was very abnormal!

"Yang'er, please step back first!"

Zhou Kun stepped forward and bowed to Yang Lin: "Are you Yang Lin I am Zhou Kun, the head of the Criminal Department. I wonder what brings Yang brother to see me Could we speak in private"

Although he didn't know what was inside the boxes, it gave him a bad feeling. With so many people watching at the moment, he didn't want to cause too much of a commotion.

But what he never expected was that before Yang Lin and the others arrived, things had already become quite a commotion!

"No need." Yang Lin waved his hand. "This time I came to find Zhou DaRen, there are two things in total."

"One is to ask Mr. Zhou to help me identify someone, and the other is to give Mr. Zhou a big gift!"

Zhou Kun frowned slightly: "Recognize someone"

"Good, you know him! Black Tiger from Mount Hei Feng, does Lord Zhou know him" Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Upon hearing the name Black Tiger, Zhou Kun's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that Yang Lin was right in front of him while Black Tiger had vanished without a trace. He couldn't help but wonder if Black Tiger had betrayed him

Zhou Kun's heart was pounding, but his face remained composed and calm. He decisively waved his hand and said: "This official doesn't know anyone called Black Tiger or White Tiger."

No matter how many people were there, he wouldn't admit it.

"Oh"

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and walked forward.

Zhong Tao opened the lid of the wooden box he was holding, and took out a large human head!

The moment the head was pulled out of the box, both Zhou Kun and his son, Zhou Zhengyang, were startled and stumbled backward!

Although that head was still dripping with blood, its face was covered in gore and looked terrifyingly grotesque, but Black Tiger's distinctively black face gave them away. How could the father and son not recognize them

Especially the black tiger’s round eyes, were wide open with fear, as if unwilling to die and stared at them…

Zhou Zhengyang was so scared that he took two steps back and sat directly on the ground.

Zhou Kun was slightly better, but his face was still pale and he trembled as he pointed at the head, wanting to say something, but he stammered and stuttered for a long time without saying anything.

"Zhou, take a good look. Just a few days ago, you were all drinking together," Yang Lin said coldly.

Zhou Kun swallowed nervously, trembling and denying: "You, you're lying! This official doesn't know Black Tiger. You, you don't slander me! Where did this brain come from It was you who committed the murder!" Although panicked, he still tried to turn the tables.

"Yeah! You killed someone, you should be arrested!" Zhou Zhengyang, who had fallen to the ground, still managed to spit out harsh words.

Yang Lin sneered, "Not bad! I killed him! But according to the laws of Great Qi, killing bandits is not only not a crime, but you can also receive a reward! This bandit leader, Heihu, would be worth even more, right"

"Master Zhou, as the head of the criminal bureau, you don't recognize the bandit leader Black Tiger Could it be that in all these years, Master Zhou has never eradicated bandits"

"Don't worry if you don't know Black Tiger, I have one here!"

Saying that, Yang Lin waved his hand.

Two people on either side, each opened a wooden box separately and took out two heads.

"Do you know them, Zhou

"

Zhou Kun was startled again.

He knew these two heads too well! They were none other than the second and third lieutenants of Black Wind Mountain, who had come with Black Tiger that day!

Even they...

Zhou Kun's face was pale, staring at the three heads being held in front of him. The broken necks were oozing dark blood, and he trembled with fear throughout his entire body.

Three heads of the three leaders of Heifeng Mountain are inside the three boxes.

Then, what's left in those remaining boxes is self-evident!

Zhou Kun's heart was pounding in his chest, he could barely think straight. Zhou Zhengyang was so scared that he crawled and scrambled, hiding behind the old housekeeper, trembling like a sieve.

Zhou Kun's jaw dropped, he was speechless and stunned.

He really couldn't figure out what had happened.

He made Black Tiger take people to capture Yang Lin, but in the end, Yang Lin was unharmed. The bandits from Black Wind Mountain were all defeated and had their heads chopped off.

"Master Zhou Take a good look, can you recognize it" Yang Lin coldly pressed.

"I don't recognize! I don't recognize!"

Zhou Kun dared not look straight, hurriedly waving his hand.

Anyone can see that he has something to hide.

However, after finding out what was in the box, Zhou Kun quickly calmed down.

He lowered his voice, trembling and said, "You brought these heads here today, is it just to intimidate this official Humph, Yang Lin don't be too complacent! You killed these bandits, but this official is an imperial appointee. If you dare do anything to this official, you are treason!"

His words sounded like a warning to Yang Lin, but in reality, they were a pep talk for himself.

Yang Lin snorted coldly, "Don't worry, Zhou sir, I know my limits! As I said, I came today to give you a gift!"

Saying that, Yang Lin shouted: "Come on, give a gift to Master Zhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him who were carrying wooden boxes all opened them, taking out one head of a bandit after another. The crowd shouted "A gift for Zhou!" and then hurled the heads into Zhou's courtyard!

At the same time, the crowd parted, and the hearse carrying the corpses was pulled to the front. Villagers lifted the bodies from the hearse and threw them all at Zhou's doorstep.

In the blink of an eye, in front of Zhou's gate, there were dozens of headless corpses lying around! The scene was extremely shocking.

At this moment, Zhou Kun was also scared out of his wits and ran back the other way.

"Good!!"

"Good!!"

The people shouted with joy.er expression, “Because now we can't afford to provoke Yang Lin!”Hearing this, Liu Liang didn't take it seriously."Mother, rest assured, the people brought by Fourth Master are all skilled individuals...
