Chapter 141: Chapter 141 The Agriculturist Who Came from the Palace

Hua Xiong was now very agitated, as there had already been quite a few people eyeing his horses. The most shameless was a county magistrate who actually accused Hua Xiong of horse theft and prepared to arrest him—how could he tolerate that? In the end, Hua Xiong beat the magistrate half to death and then left. There was no other way; Li Ru had also warned him to try not to kill officials in Yanzhou, as it was best for both parties to maintain some goodwill.

Hua Xiong generally wouldn't listen to anyone; he was straightforward and usually just charged into battle. However, fortunately this time Li Ru was around, and he forcefully suppressed his temper, refraining from slaughtering all those who had designs on the horses. Had it been the old Hua Xiong, they would have been cut down with a single strike.
