After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 216 Pang Ming

In the morning light, a ray of warm sunshine shines on Los Angeles.

Xia Wanniang treated the last injured person and looked up at the messy street. The prosperity of yesterday was no longer there.

Xu Li looked much more haggard overnight. His chin was covered with blue stubble, and the dark circles under his eyes on his fair face were so thick that they could not be ignored.

"Sir, please avenge our family."

"Please, sir, make the decision for us."

"My lord, you must catch them."

"......"

Every word and every sentence made Xu Li feel extremely painful. The helplessness of yesterday came to his mind again. He closed his eyes slightly to hide the hatred in them.

Xia Wanniang looked at the children who were sleeping nearby, walked over to them and sat down, looking at their hands and faces stained with blood.

In the distance, a man wearing armor and riding a tall horse walked towards them. The sunlight shining on his armor was so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

The man seemed not to notice what was happening on the street, and continued to walk forward slowly. When he reached Xu Li, he dismounted and said, "Xu County Magistrate, what's going on?"

Xu Li heard the voice, turned around and looked at the person who came, and his suppressed anger erupted again: "Pang Ming, you still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"

Pang Ming looked at him innocently with a look of surprise: "What do you mean, sir? I accompanied my wife to her parents' home yesterday and only came back early this morning. How would I know what happened?"

Yin Yuanxun was so angry that he laughed: "You don't know, do you know that you took away the military token yesterday and put the people of Luocheng in crisis."

Pang Ming looked at Yin Yuanxun with disdain: "Who are you? How dare you question me like this?"

Xiao Chiye grabbed Yin Yuanxun and said, "Brother Yin."

Yin Yuanxun's fingers clenched and made a creaking sound, and finally he could only turn around and leave.

Xu Li looked at Pang Ming and said, "When you left the city yesterday, why didn't you hand over the military token to your subordinates?"

"Sir, my mother-in-law was seriously ill, and I left in a hurry and didn't have time to hand over the care." Pang Ming looked aggrieved.

Xu Li took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, I will assume that you have forgotten what happened yesterday. You must immediately organize your troops and go outside the city to wipe out the bandits."

Pang Ming immediately waved his hand: "Sir, you can't do that! I am the commander of the city defense. My main task is to defend the city, not to suppress bandits."

"Then why didn't you defend the city yesterday?" Xu Li roared.

"I wasn't here yesterday. How can you say that I didn't defend the city? Lord Xu, you can't say that." Pang Ming looked at him in horror.

Xu Li was now extremely angry. If he had evidence, he would definitely skin him alive and pull out his tendons to comfort the dead civilians and soldiers.

Xia Wanniang walked to Xiao Chiye's side without knowing when: "Husband."

Xiao Chiye turned to look at her: "Why don't you take a break?"

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "If he dies, who will take over the defense of Luo City?"

Xiao Chiye: "When there is no clear assignment from above, the generals under him will take over."

Xia Wanniang nodded, took out something from the space, aimed at Pang Ming's eyebrows, and gently pulled the trigger.

A white spot of light flew silently towards Pang Ming's eyebrows.

There was still sarcasm in Pang Ming's eyes, but he felt a pain on his forehead. When he raised his hand to touch it, he found that his hand was covered in blood. Before he could think more, his body fell backwards.

Xiao Chiye reacted very quickly: "The bandits killed Mr. Pang."

Yin Yuanxun didn't know what happened, but he believed Xiao Chiye, so he also shouted at the top of his voice: "The bandits killed Mr. Pang. These damn bandits must be afraid that Mr. Pang will send troops to wipe them out."

Xu Li looked at Pang Ming lying on the ground. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a voice behind him, and he immediately shouted, "Damn bandits, you dare to kill an official appointed by the imperial court. I will definitely wipe out the bandit's nest."

"My Lord, wise."

"My Lord, wise."

The news that Pang Ming was killed by bandits spread throughout Luo City in just a moment. When Pang Ming's subordinate Ban Yan received the news and rushed over, he only saw a corpse lying on the ground.

Porphyry was the man whose collar Xu Li grabbed yesterday: "Master Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Li's face was filled with pain: "The bandits came back and heard that Master Pang was going to send troops to wipe them out, so they took advantage of the situation and killed Master Pang."

"What?" Banyan looked incredulous.

Xu Li patted Banyan's shoulder and said, "Master Ban, send troops to suppress the bandits. We must avenge the Pang people and the dead civilians!"

Banyan knelt on one knee and said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission and seek justice for Lord Pang, the people of Luocheng, and the dead soldiers. However..."
