"Naturally, it's a knife claw, and it can even be clawed with bare hands?"

The manservant wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and rubbed his eyes vaguely. "Sir, you're asleep. What happened?"

"Nothing happened. Something happened at the yamen. Go knock on the door and tell the lord to get up."

"Now?" The servant woke up from his doze and scratched his head. He looked at the sky and said, "It's the middle of the night and the adults have to curse."

"I'm not going because of the scolding. If something big happens in the yamen, you go get the lord."

The attendant, who was being instructed, did not voice his grievances. He grumbled to himself and knocked on the door anyway.

The door was knocked for a long time, but no one answered.

When he finally got a response, there was a "clang"! It wasn't hard to tell that someone was inside, knocking on the door with something.

The servant shrank back and turned his head around, trembling with fear. He glanced at the servant and the old head.

The two of them turned their heads and pretended to look at the beautiful scenery elsewhere.

The boy scratched his head in anger, but he still whispered, "Sir, people from the yamen say that something happened at the yamen."

There was another silence.

Just when the three of them were unsure whether this young and infuriated Prefecture Overseer would wake up and throw a tantrum, the door creaked open.

The manservant was standing closest to the woman, and when he saw her expression, he was so frightened that his hairs stood on end. He quickly retreated to the side and pointed at the old man's head, saying, "Yes …" Boss Shell is looking for you, not. "Not a lowly person..."

Sun Qi's dark eyes turned, his eyes were lifeless, looking at the old man in front of him as if he was looking at a corpse.

The old shell's head jumped in fright. It felt like an adult using such a strange and terrifying gaze to stare at it. It was like a big cold day being soaked in ice water. From beginning to end, it emitted cold air, and its back was almost frozen.

The old shell swallowed his saliva and spoke with great difficulty, "Big... Lord... Ya... At the yamen... Something happened... Lord Ji …. His name was... "Call me over, I'm here to invite you …"

He hurriedly pushed the matter onto Lord Ji's hands, so much so that the old man was proud of his cleverness.

Hearing the name Master Ji, Sun Qi whose entire body was filled with killing intent, calmed down a little. He raised his hand, pressed his forehead and tried to suppress his temper as he coldly asked: "What do you need from the yamen?"

"A great bandit!" The old man's mouth was extremely swift. With a few sentences, he had led them to the yamen and allowed them to discover that they were being surrounded. He was waiting for the lord to return and make a decision.

When he finished speaking and took a look, Mister Sun's expression turned even better. At least, it seemed like he did not intend to blame him for disturbing Qing Meng.

The great Jiang Yang bandits of Guyong Mansion had come, what were they here for? Stealing things from the yamen? What was there to steal from the yamen?

Sun Qi had been in charge of the Guyong Mansion's residences for seven years, but he had never felt that there was anything worth stealing in that rundown yamen. If there was anything worth stealing, he would have sold it long ago and replaced it with silver and placed it in the treasury.

Last year, there was a small drought in the countryside, and as a governor, he was not even able to pay a hundred silver taels for the disaster expenses. In the end, he shamelessly wrote seven or eight letters to his former schoolmate, asking for his top scholar position.

So, the magistrate court was already so poor, how could anyone have the heart to come in and steal from them?

Furthermore, he was a great bandit, why would the great bandit not go to the rich prefectures to handle cases? Why would he not come to Guyong Mansion, this remote place?

Sun Qi thought in his heart, but he quickly changed his clothes and followed the old head to the yamen.

Sun Qi's residence was really close to the yamen, and the advantage of being close was that he could save a horse carriage to go to the yamen everyday.

Raising a horse was a very expensive task. Even if it only ate grass everyday, it would inevitably have to change its taste. This wasn't including the fact that it was sick, but it also needed to be treated. In short, it was even harder to serve than a human!

In fact, Sun Qi used to live in the yamen, and didn't even have this two-way house. This was because his parents back home were worried about his marriage, so they insisted for him to move out.

At the very least, if you were to marry a wife, your wife would have to stay in a proper home. You can't let a girl stay in the yamen with you.

Sun Qi was a filial son, since his parents had already said so, he naturally had to do it. Even if he did not do it, his parents would not even know that they were in the distant lands, but he honestly took in years of savings, entrusted many people, and bought a slightly cheaper house.

After buying the house, he didn't get married.

It's not that he didn't want to succeed, it's that … There was no suitable one.

If one were to speak of an official imperial court official, there were many wives and concubines. He was already nine out of twenty years old this year, how could he not be able to marry a proper wife?

However, he really couldn't marry her.

The reason was simple, he was the bandit!

In the past, they had been engaged since they were 18, and had been engaged three times before and after, but never succeeded once. If the girl's family had not died before getting married, she would have been bedridden with a serious illness.

Sun Qi still wanted to marry the one with the disabled legs, thinking that this leg could still be considered his fault. It would be hard for the young lady to marry him for the rest of her life, it was just right for her to marry him.

However, the girl didn't agree no matter what. She said that she had lost her leg before she got married, so once she got married, she wouldn't be able to put her life on the line.

From then on, Sun Qi could no longer be considered a wife.

When he arrived at the Guyong Mansion, there would be a matchmaker who would come knocking and say it, but Sun Qi was also an honest man.

When the matchmaker heard this, she knew that this was the life of a natural widower, and she no longer dared to take on Lord Sun's marriage.

The matchmaker's actions were all about good karma. If they harmed a girl, then they wouldn't be able to form a feud. In the future, how could they continue to muddle through this entire village?

In short, after being in the Guyong Mansion for a year, the name of this newly appointed Prefecture Overseer as the deceitful wife spread throughout the entire prefecture.

From then on, Sun Qi was even less able to find a wife.

Right now, it was almost a new year, and he was alone. There wasn't even a warm bed nearby.

As he thought further and further away, he continued to walk forward. Not long later, he arrived at the yamen.

The author had something to say: "The third fragment has arrived, Sun Qi is Rong Ling's brainless fan! Haha!"
