Being smart

The people from the County Yamen brought Xiao Feng inside and forcefully pushed him onto the main hall.

Looking at Xiao Feng's indifferent expression, the Magistrate couldn't help but say to him, "Bold and arrogant scoundrel, how dare you use force in the academy?"

The yamen runners around them raised their clubs, as if trying to intimidate Xiao Feng.

However, he didn't take it to heart at all, shaking his head with an expression of indifference.

From beginning to end, he didn't utter a single word.

Seeing Xiao Feng's confident and fearless demeanor, the Magistrate felt that he had a background. He frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Take him down and lock him up."

The yamen runners all walked up to Xiao Feng and led him away.

Xiao Feng followed them into the dungeon with an indifferent expression. He knew that the Xiao Family would receive the news before long.

Even if the Xiao Family people didn't come, he believed that the Qing Sect Disciple would also come here.

As expected, just as he was taken away, General Xiao received the news of Xiao Feng's arrest and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

When City Lord Xiao learned that Xiao Feng had actually been taken to the dungeon, he slammed his hand down on the table, shattering the entire table into pieces.

No one had ever seen City Lord Xiao so angry before. They exchanged glances and thought, "It seems someone has kicked an iron plate this time."

Everyone knew that the Xiao Family could walk sideways in Evernight City, yet someone had actually arrested Xiao Feng and taken him to the dungeon. It was simply outrageous.

In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, General Xiao brought many guards to the County Yamen and his gaze fell upon the Magistrate.

When the Magistrate saw General Xiao personally leading a team here, his face was filled with confusion. He had no idea why they were coming to cause trouble for him.

General Xiao pointed inside and said, "You have some nerve, actually looking for trouble with our Xiao Family."

The Magistrate was completely bewildered, never having imagined that he would one day offend someone from the Xiao Family.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked towards the direction of the dungeon and said, "Could it be... the person we just arrested..."

Speaking up to this point, the Magistrate basically understood. He forcefully kicked the person behind him on the backside and shouted, "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and release him."

Upon hearing the Magistrate's voice, the yamen runners finally understood. They ran towards the dungeon like crazy, wanting to release the person inside.

At this moment, Xiao Feng, sitting in the dungeon, heard the commotion outside and smiled, "Listening to this noise, it should be the Xiao Family who have come."

In his eyes, only the arrival of the Xiao Family would cause such a commotion.

If a Qing Sect Disciple were to come here, he believed they would fight their way in from the entrance and wouldn't give them any chance at all.

It didn't take long before the yamen runners arrived in front of Xiao Feng, opened the cell door, and said with a wry smile, "You can leave."

Xiao Feng looked at the yamen runner who was looking at him, didn't make things difficult for him, and followed him to the main hall.

With just one look, he understood why the County Yamen was so eager to release him.

It turned out that General Xiao had personally brought guards to the County Yamen. If they had shown even the slightest reluctance, the entire County Yamen would likely have been wiped out.

When General Xiao saw Xiao Feng emerge unharmed from inside, he walked up to him and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"

In Evernight City, no one had the ability to bully someone from the Xiao Family.

Xiao Feng looked at General Xiao's overbearing manner, glanced towards the Magistrate, and chuckled softly, "They were just doing their duty. It's fine."

The Magistrate quickly approached General Xiao and said, "I didn't know he was from your Xiao Family. Otherwise, even if you lent me the courage, I wouldn't dare to arrest him."

General Xiao listened to the Magistrate constantly making excuses for himself, glanced towards Xiao Feng, and said, "You don't need to look at me, you should look at him."

The person he had arrested was now the Xiao Family's greatest support, and in the future, he might even become the head of the Xiao Family.

The Magistrate saw that even General Xiao couldn't make decisions for Xiao Feng and looked towards Xiao Feng with terror, saying, "I really didn't know..."

Xiao Feng repeatedly waved his hand, "It's alright, I know you were all just doing your duty."

Xiao Feng walked beside General Xiao and said, "Let's go. They were just doing their job, it's fine."

Only after receiving his consent did General Xiao leave the County Yamen with his guards.

As soon as they left, the Magistrate kicked the yamen runner again, "Didn't you know to investigate his identity? You almost got me killed."

The yamen runners didn't dare to say a word. They also hadn't expected that the person they arrested was from the Xiao Family.

Suddenly, one of the yamen runners looked towards the Magistrate and said, "I remember there's no such person in the Xiao Family, right?"

They usually lived in Evernight City and should know everyone in the Xiao Family. There was absolutely no one named Xiao Feng.

When the Magistrate heard them say this, he pondered for a moment, "Rumor has it that the City Lord's eldest son has returned. Looking at that person's extraordinary aura, it's possible that he is the one from the Qing Sect."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder Xiao Feng didn't resist. With his strength, killing someone would be instantaneous. There was no way he would give them a chance to act.

Now that they had offended the Xiao Family, their future path might be very difficult.

The Magistrate pondered for a moment and looked towards the yamen runners, "Do you still remember who offended Xiao Feng?"

The yamen runners naturally remembered who came to inform them and nodded repeatedly, "Li Dehua from the academy."

The Magistrate got the person's name, confirmed that he had no background, and pointed towards the academy, "Quickly go and arrest Li Dehua. This Magistrate needs to make amends."

In his eyes, offending the Xiao Family in Evernight City was the most unwise choice.

In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, Li Dehua was arrested by them and thrown into the dungeon.

The Magistrate originally thought he had done the right thing, but no one expected Li Dehua's friends to arrive at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

They all knew that Li Dehua and Xiao Feng had a conflict, and now that Li Dehua was arrested, there must be someone from Xiao Feng's side behind it.

At this time, many people who had been bullied by Xiao Feng in the past came forward, explaining that Xiao Feng had been a spoiled brat since childhood.

In just half an hour, the City Lord's Mansion was surrounded by them, making it impossible to pass.

The guards at the Xiao Family entrance had never expected so many people to be at the entrance. They exchanged glances, completely unaware of what was happening in the Xiao Family.

Soon, the guards at the entrance came to the main hall of the Xiao Family, stood in front of City Lord Xiao, and reported what they had seen at the entrance truthfully.

When City Lord Xiao learned that his City Lord's Mansion was actually surrounded, his face was filled with shock, "What did you say? My City Lord's Mansion is surrounded? What's going on?"
