Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

Chapter 319

After saying that, the county magistrate winked at a clerk, who then held up a lamp to check whether the ropes tied to Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang were loose, and then patrolled the whole house.

The clerk shook his head slightly at the county magistrate, who then smiled, saluted, and led his men out. Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang could only be angry but dared not say anything, as saying more angry words would only make their situation more embarrassing.

"All of you stay here to guard. If you hear any noise, open the door and go in to check immediately!" the county magistrate whispered.

Li Mofu did not rush to rescue Wang Ruiyan, but continued to hide in the dark and followed the county magistrate to his residence. In the yard, the county magistrate's wife was waiting for him with a lantern and a coat on.

"What's wrong?" the county magistrate's wife asked anxiously.

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "It's just the death struggle of a loser dog. I've sent people to catch it. They'll be back soon. It's okay."

The county magistrate's wife was still worried, "Is that Madam Lu still here?"

The county magistrate walked over and hugged his still very young wife as they walked into the house. "Here, you just a few people want to rescue someone from me? You must have read too many storybooks!"

"That's good..." The county magistrate's wife breathed a sigh of relief, then said worriedly, "But will we be retaliated against if we do this? The Marquis of Wu'an and Minister Wang are not to be trifled with."

The county magistrate snorted disapprovingly, "We're just following His Majesty's orders. No matter how arrogant they are, can they be as powerful as the emperor? Besides, the Marquis of Wu'an has gone to guard the border. Whether he can come back is another matter. You, a wife, don't know that the border is in chaos right now!"

"I heard that those barbarians would skewer and roast captured people like lamb! As for Minister Wang, he's a bit more troublesome, but he's far away from the capital and poses no threat to me."

The county magistrate's wife laughed twice. "That's right. At most, we are just helping His Majesty with his worries. As for what His Majesty is going to do, we don't know. Besides, we didn't use any violence against them. No matter how much they blame us, it can't be blamed on us."

"No, now we just have to wait for His Majesty's men to arrive," said the county magistrate.

"Sir, do you think His Majesty will promote you?" the county magistrate's wife thought happily.

The county magistrate couldn't help but laugh, "Who knows, but the reward will definitely be substantial."

The two of them walked into the house talking and laughing, and the two servants standing beside them holding the lamps also followed them into the house.

Li Mofu just stared at them. Now that it was late at night, they quickly turned off the lights. After squatting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Mofu ran in quietly and jumped into the county magistrate's room through the open window.

The room was pitch black. The servants had gone to the side room to rest. The county magistrate and his wife were lying on the bed, breathing steadily.

Just in case, Li Mofu waited another fifteen minutes before opening the fire stick and blowing it to light it.

The black cat bit the tinder and lit the quilt, curtains, books, papered windows, and clothes he was about to wear. The room suddenly became bright. He quickly covered the tinder, jumped out of the window, and then slipped away.

After a while, the fire burned the county magistrate and his wife who were not yet asleep, and they screamed in pain!

“Someone, someone, come!”

"Why did the fire suddenly start? Which slave didn't put the light on properly?"

Li Mofu hid in the shadows outside and watched for a while before running to the county magistrate's study in the front yard. He lit up the study, and then the file room not far from the study.

The fire spread quickly, and soon bright lights appeared in these two places, attracting everyone's attention.

"The fire is breaking out!! Put it out quickly!!"

"There's a fire in the county magistrate's house too!"

"The study and the file room were also flooded!!"

"Hurry, hurry, go save the file!! Hurry!"

"Is there anyone left? Put out the fire quickly!!!"

"Damn it! Who set the fire?! If I catch him, I'll beat him to a pulp!"

In the chaotic situation, there were sounds of water being poured and fire burning, mixed with the county magistrate's angry roar.
