The short yamen runner said coldly:

"Who has the head?"

The slaves gathered around the bamboo basket took two steps back after hearing the questioning of the yamen runners. Only the crazy woman still trembled with her hands tightly holding on to the bamboo basket, muttering constantly:

"Mine, that's mine..."

The short yamen runner squatted down, and he tilted his head and stared at the crazy woman like a little ant.

At this time, the tall yamen runner not far behind the short yamen runner was slowly lifting his right hand. With the crackling sound, a dazzling golden light suddenly surged from his fingertips.

The short yamen runner showed a disgust on his face. He touched his chin and said in a low voice:

"It seems that it's you? You're so brave!"

The slaves had already widened their eyes in horror at this time, and the violent shaking of their bodies made the shackles make a raucous sound.

The short yamen runner continued:

"You are deceiving... You can do such a thing that goes against the principles. Haha..."

The short yamen runner turned his head to the tall yamen runner standing straight behind him, and he said slowly:

"Execute her!"

Jialong was shocked when he heard this. Although he was also very disgusted with the crazy woman who snatched her quartz, her sins would not kill her!

But at this moment, the tall yamen runner had already taken a step towards the crazy woman, silently like a ghost.

The crazy woman shook her head wildly, and her dirt-covered hair began to shake.

I saw that the crazy woman hugged the bamboo basket relentlessly and shouted in pleading:

"Sir, sir! I just want to have a bite of food... I'm too hungry..."

The tall yamen runner ignored the mad woman's plea. He walked to the mad woman and suddenly raised his right hand that was flashing with golden light.

The other slaves were no longer afraid to watch this scene. They covered their faces and curled up.

Jialong suddenly felt an unbearable headache when he saw this scene. He lowered his head and grabbed his hair with pain with both hands.

At this moment, a miserable howl cut through the dead atmosphere like a sharp sword.

When Jialong raised his head again, the crazy woman's head had separated from her neck and rolled weakly on the ground like a ball.

The tall yamen runner shook the thick blood flowing from his right hand, and the crazy woman's face showed an extremely disgusting expression.

Jialong took a breath of cold air. He saw the crazy woman's eyes wide open when she was dying, and two clear tears were scratched across her dirty cheeks.

Katakagi was there and his breathing became heavy.

Xiaowu climbed behind Jialong at some point. He gently put a hand on Jialong's shoulder and whispered:

"This is the end of losing yourself...just get used to it."

Jialong suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaowu. At this moment, he suddenly felt a light that made him feel deeply cold in Xiaowu's big eyes staring at him.

Perhaps, it is not Xiaowu who is cold, but this world. It is precisely because of this that Xiaowu repeatedly instructed Jialong to be extra careful when collecting quartz. Jialong nodded gently and thought:

"Indeed, this is indeed the end of losing oneself... The crazy woman has forgotten the purpose of coming here and the little dignity hidden in her heart. I don't need to feel sorry for her. If the yamen runners hadn't happened to come, my quartz would have been plundered by them long ago! I pity others? Humph, who will pity me when something happens!"

The short yamen runner suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Start the work inspection!"

After saying that, he slapped his hands. After a few seconds, the bamboo baskets beside the slaves began to shake, and then hovered in the air as if they were controlled by some secret force.

The short yamen runner tilted his head and waved at the numerous bamboo baskets. Then, the bamboo baskets floated towards him lightly.

After the bamboo basket was seated smoothly at his feet, the yamen runner lowered his head and suddenly burst into golden auras in his eyes. He quickly turned his eyes and quickly swept across each bamboo basket.

Afterwards, the short yamen runner nodded slowly and said:

"The total amount you collected today is qualified! However, there are still many people's baskets that are not full."

After hearing this, Jialong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:

"It should be considered a disaster..."

But at this moment, the short yamen runner suddenly raised his hands, and Jialong suddenly felt that his body seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand. He could not control his movements and inexplicably slowly crawled towards the short yamen runner.

Jialong came to the yamen runners at a loss. He raised his head carefully and saw about twenty slaves who were manipulated forward with him, all of whom were full of panic.

The short yamen runner said with a gloomy face:...

"Old rule, you need to accept punishment before eating!"

After hearing this, Jialong's palms were sweating, and he looked around in panic. At this time, the tall yamen runner on the side was dragging the crazy woman's body with one hand and walking towards the distance with the other hand.

"punish?"

Jialong felt very up and down. At this time, the short yamen runner had already taken out the whip from his clothes.

"Damn, are you going to whip?"

Just as Jialong stared at the whip in the hands of the yamen runner worriedly, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Sir, wait!"

The short yamen runner immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, who was lying piously on the ground and shouting in the "qualified" team.

He cleared his throat and asked in a slightly gentle tone:

"Xiao Wu, what's the matter?"

Xiaowu raised his head and replied with a smile:

"Sir! The new Xiaolong has filled the whole basket of quartz, but his quartz was unfortunately taken away by the vicious crazy woman! I just knew about this situation, please give it a clue!"

Jialong looked back at Xiaowu with gratitude, and tears of excitement suddenly burst out from his eyes.

The short yamen runner sniffed, and he said:

"Yes, he was stolen a lot of quartz. But I couldn't confirm whether he had filled the bamboo basket before. I just saw that there was only half of the quartz in his basket. For fairness, I had to torture him!"

Xiaowu leaned over and said:

"Sir, there is another thing to report to you!"

"explain!"

"You just saw that my basket was filled with quartz and even collected a lot of them."

The short yamen runner slanted his eyes towards Xiao Wu's bamboo basket. Indeed, a tall hill appeared in Xiao Wu's bamboo basket. If the part that exceeded the edge of the bamboo basket was separated, it would be able to fill almost half of the volume of the bamboo basket.

Xiaowu continued:

"I was able to collect so much quartz, thanks to Xiaolong's help! I was not able to collect quartz at first. It was Xiaolong who distributed part of his quartz to me, so I was able to obtain so many results. Please deal with it at your discretion!"

Noisy discussions suddenly surged among the slaves. Jialong never dared to think that Xiaowu could protect himself to such an extent!

The short yamen runner nodded, and he turned his head to Jialong and asked:

"Is this true, newcomer?"

Jialong hurriedly followed and replied in a panic:

“Yes…is it true…”
