Protection?
House arrest was more like it!
What kind of outlaw would dare commit murder inside the Prefecture City?
Even if there were outlaws, the prefectural yamen should be the one to handle them. The Regional Military Commission was not responsible for catching bandits.
When Zheng Xiao heard him say this, he already understood in his heart that Luo Fu intended to put him under house arrest.
But at the same time, he also sighed in relief. It was only house arrest, so for the time being, he was still safe.
A thousand thoughts turned over in Zheng Xiao's mind. Luo Fu was in collusion with the Regional Military Commission; this was beyond his expectations.
"Move aside. I am going out!" Zheng Xiao wanted to test just how far the other party would go.
"My apologies, Lord Zheng. There are outlaws running wild inside the city. Lord Zheng would be safer staying inside the residence!" Xu Huazhen said, still smiling.
"This official has official duties to attend to!"
"Lord Zheng, do not make things difficult for this lower official!" Xu Huazhen suddenly put away his smile.
"You are the one making things difficult for this official!" Zheng Xiao stared at him coldly.
Xu Huazhen shook his head slightly. He looked at the people on either side, then suddenly dragged over a young servant. The long saber at his waist abruptly left its sheath.
Zheng Xiao's pupils shrank sharply. "Stop!"
But Xu Huazhen ignored his attempt to stop him completely. The blade edge swept sideways, and a splash of fresh blood fell.
The servant's terrified expression froze in an instant. His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes looked pleadingly at Zheng Xiao.
In the span of a breath, his body went limp and collapsed weakly to the ground.
