Chapter 85 Late Summer is Like a Cat Catching a Mouse
Xia's mother was somewhat agitated, and asked with a choked voice, "Our family has never offended any Taoist priest! Why are you slandering my family?!"
Apart from Xia Mo, none of the Xia family members could understand it, and they were emotionally agitated.
Knowing that a Taoist priest was causing trouble behind the scenes, the government naturally wanted to investigate further.
The officials went to the courtyard where Jia Daoren was renting to arrest him.
Xia Mo's divine sense quickly spread out and discovered Jia Daoren's location first.
Jia Daoren had already sensed something was wrong through the small window of the live streaming system and had fled.
however……
As soon as Jia Daoren reached the outskirts of Anping County, he was stopped by two people.
The people who stopped Jia Daoren were none other than Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng.
Jia Daoren never expected that Huangfu Qian, whom he had wanted to see these past few days but refused to see, would suddenly appear.
Jia Daoren thought that Huangfu Qian would protect him, and that Huangfu Qian was there to lend a helping hand when he was in trouble, so that he would be grateful to him.
Jia Daoren was making assumptions.
Jia Daoren said, "King Jiang, let's go."
King Jiang...
Xia Mo's divine sense condensed into fine threads, high in the sky, observing Huangfu Qian, Jiang Feng, and Jia Daoren. He never expected such an unexpected joy.
The throne can only be obtained by those of royal blood.
Huangfu Qian sensed it the moment Xia Mo's divine sense appeared. He could even sense that Xia Mo's divine sense was different from the gaze that was spying on him.
Huangfu Qian deliberately made Jia Daoren reveal his identity. When Jia Daoren revealed his identity, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that he didn't even realize it.
Why aren't you moving?
When Jia Daoren noticed that Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng hadn't moved, he decided to go ahead, only to be stopped by Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng.
"What do you mean?!" Master Jia asked, his face grim.
Jiang Feng held the knife in front of Jia Daoren and said, "You are currently involved in a case in the county government, and you cannot leave for the time being."
The Taoist priest shouted in a panic, "Nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll have to go to the county government office to find out," Jiang Feng said with a fierce look in his eyes.
Jia Daoren had already turned on the light screen. He entered the live streaming system's shop interface, wanting to see what tools he could buy to escape this situation.
Before Jia Daoren took action at the end of summer, Xia Mo first sent his divine sense into Huangfu Qian's eyes, covering Huangfu Qian's eyes with a layer of divine sense power.
After a flash of light, Huangfu Qian saw the light screen in front of Jia Daoren again.
At this moment, the live stream window on the screen shrank to a small area, covered with a dense barrage of mocking comments, ridiculing Jia Daoren's incompetence and worthlessness.
The main window of the screen is the online store interface, where Jia Daoren is selecting items.
Jia Daoren doesn't need to manually turn the page; he only needs to think about it, and the items in the shop will flip through the pages accordingly.
Xia Mo, along with Huangfu Qian, curiously looked at the shop interface that Jia Daoren had opened.
Xia Mo's gaze was quick; she would browse through the detailed descriptions of every item that Jia Daoren pointed to.
The Thousand-Mile Shoes will expire after running 100 kilometers and require a reward of 100 points.
An ultra-miniature voice chip that can be installed on any object, enabling barrier-free global communication, requires a reward of 10,000 points;
……
Xia Mo's divine sense watched as Jia Daoren browsed the goods and then fixed his gaze on the Thousand-Mile Shoes.
Xia Mo's divine sense looked at the lower right corner of Jia Daoren's screen interface, which read: 109,713 reward points.
It seems that Jia Daoren's previous efforts to please the audience were not in vain; at least he received a lot of tips, which he can now use to escape.
What Xia Mo saw with her divine sense, Huangfu Qian naturally also saw using Xia Mo's divine sense.
Huangfu Qian immediately understood that even if he captured Jia Daoren now, it would be useless. Jia Daoren could use the prop called "Thousand-Mile Shoes" to escape to a thousand miles away. If he sent people to chase and capture him, they would only be played around!
but……
Xia Mo removed his divine sense from Huangfu Qian's eyes, and Huangfu Qian could no longer see the light screen.
Xia Mo sent a telepathic message to Huangfu Qian, saying: "Why don't we let him escape, then file a case and issue an arrest warrant for his entire family, hehe..."
Huangfu Qian frowned, clearly disagreeing.
Xia Mo sent a telepathic message: He still has 109,713 reward points. Even if you catch him now, it won't do you any good.
Huangfu Qian understood the meaning of "late summer".
Xia Mo hoped to playfully toy with Jia Daoren, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Seeing that Huangfu Qian still disagreed, Xia Mo simply withdrew his divine sense.
In the main hall of the county government office—
Sun Zheng gave false testimony, and Zhou Zhi testified to prove that Brother Xia was innocent, and Xia's father, the so-called accomplice, was also innocent.
Magistrate Chu's lips twitched, and he announced in court that Xia's father and elder brother were released without charge.
Xia's mother hugged Xia's father tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Waaah... It's so good, your father and older brother are alright, it's really so good! Waaah..."
Xia Sange burst into tears.
"I knew Father and my elder brother were innocent. The magistrate is just and will give them justice, sob sob sob..."
Xia Sange's voice was loud and boisterous, echoing throughout the entire street.
Brother Xia was also moved and his eyes reddened.
As Xia's father and elder brother stepped over the high threshold of the courtroom, tears streamed down their faces as they looked at their family.
Old Gao and others from the same village also stepped forward.
"The magistrate is just and has not wronged any innocent people," Gao Laoda said, understanding why Xia Sange had to flatter him even while crying out, and he followed suit.
As Magistrate Chu heard these words calling him "fair," his initial discomfort gradually disappeared.
Right now, there's an even bigger problem.
Wei Zhishu!
Wei Zhishu's face was so gloomy it seemed like ink could drip from it, and he stared intently at the backs of Xia's father and elder brother with a death stare.
If Xia's father and elder brother are innocent, then how can he use their past to threaten the Xia family and push them towards the end of Xia's reign?!
With a nasal tone, Xia Mo called out sweetly, "Father, Big Brother..."
If only she had made the deal with Huangfu Qian sooner, at least her father and elder brother wouldn't have suffered so much in prison.
"Good girl!"
Xia's father looked at Xia Mo and praised her with a choked voice.
Brother Xia nodded: "Little sister is the best."
The reason why Xia's father and elder brother were able to sit in prison so comfortably was twofold: firstly, the effect of money, and secondly, Xia Mo always used his special abilities to secretly send them delicious food, ensuring that they ate well even while in prison.
Xia Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling with tears, as she looked at her father and older brother.
Xia Mo's divine sense directly probed into the courtyard of the Wei family in Anping County, where Ma Yiyi lived.
Ma Yiyi's scheme against the Xia family failed; she did not cause Xia Mo to lose two of her loved ones.
Inside the courtyard where Ma Yiyi lives—
Ma Yiyi sat by the window, gazing in the direction of the government office, anxiously and excitedly awaiting the results.
The live streaming system has stepped in. The live streaming system is like a god; it can control everyone. This is bound to succeed!
then……
A sharp, excruciating pain, as if skin were being peeled off and bones were being pulled out, struck.
With a "bang," Ma Yiyi fell to the ground, writhing violently in pain.
The live stream screen in front of Ma Yiyi began to switch to the task interface.
On the task interface, the side quest clearly stated: "The task of sending Xia Kaoshan and Xia Shenggen to exile three thousand miles has failed and there is no reward."
As for the main quest: the quest to plunder luck points has dropped from 74% to 70%!
Below the main quest is a line of smaller text: The host's luck value has dropped, and punishment must be accepted.
And that's why Ma Yiyi was in so much pain.
