Chapter 62: Killing in the Street

The scene was tragic, even if Bai Ruo had deliberately prevented the victim from bleeding into a river and avoided the opponent's artery when he struck. But after all, he was killing with a sword, and it was impossible not to bleed.

Bai Ruo dropped the sword in her hand and stood on the street, quietly waiting for the Huangshi Town soldiers to come and surround her.

She basically knows these people, and they all know her.

When they saw Bai Ruo committing murder with a sword on the street, they were obviously frightened. Lin Zhu, an old acquaintance among them, was the first to step forward and confiscated Bai Ruo's sword.

According to the rules, when a prisoner is caught, he should be tied up as soon as possible.

But Lin Zhu hasn't lost his mind to that point yet. They are all from Huangshi Town, so naturally they are on Bai Ruo's side.

They only just found out about the forced food requisition from above.

Their families are all in this city, and if they are forced to confiscate food, it is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death. So they just gathered a group of people and went to the city lord's palace to meet with Lin Duan, but they were rejected.

Then I got a report that someone was killing someone on the street.

So I hurried over and saw this scene.

"Shopkeeper Bai, you are in big trouble this time!" Lin Zhu approached Bai Ruo and said in a low voice: "This man is the second son of Xuanyuan Situ. He can walk sideways in Linyun City. If you kill him, I'm afraid...

Our entire town of Yellowstone will suffer."

"Then if I don't kill him, can Huangshi Town avoid disaster? Besides, he wanted to kill me first. Anyway, I have already killed the person. You can deal with the scene first. When Zhiyuan comes back, ask him to come to the Bai Family Medical Center to find him.

I."

After Bai Ruo finished speaking, she left on her own. No one in Lin Zhu and the other soldiers stopped her.

No one is stupid enough to think that they can stop Bai Ruo. You must know that General Zhiyuan has personally certified that he must not be offended.

What's more, the Bai Family Medical Center is kind to most people in this city.

Regardless of emotion or reason, no one would be willing to take action against Bai Ruo.

Everyone saw Bai Ruo leaving, and the people surrounding him all fled the moment Bai Ruo started killing people. Now, except for the soldiers, there was no one on the street.

Bai Ruo returned to the medical center, first changed the clothes stained with blood, then asked Mumu to make a pot of tea, and then sat in the lobby of the medical center, waiting for Zhiyuan and Duo'er to come back.

After half a cup of tea, the two people appeared at the door of the lobby of the medical center.

Zhiyuan did not hold a weapon or follow him, which surprised Bai Ruo a little. But Duo'er next to him was holding a sword in his hand. It was the sword used by Xuanyuan Situ's second son.

"What are you doing with this sword?" Bai Ruo asked in confusion.

"Let Yun Qi teach me how to practice swordsmanship. It will come in handy when things get rough in the future."

"Oh, what about the Yunqi people?"

"We are still escorting the carriage outside the city. We found a delicious wild vegetable and dug a lot. We plan to make it into pickles and store it."

Duo'er leaned her sword against the wall and came over to sit next to Bai Ruo. She poured Zhiyuan a cup of tea and asked him to take a seat.

The three of them drank a cup of tea in silence.

Doer stood up and refilled everyone's cups.

Bai Ruo is waiting for Duo'er to speak.

"well--"

Duoer opened the conversation with a long sigh.

"You have to kill people on the street, which frightens the people around you. There were many children there at the time. We will have to prescribe some calming medicine for them later, because the medical center obviously has no medicines in stock.

"

"That's not the point!" Bai Ruo complained.

"In short, things should be similar to what my sister thought. General Zhiyuan and I knew for some time in advance that Linyun City would send people to collect food and recruit troops, so we have been making preparations. But we didn't expect them to come so quickly.

"

"So I got into trouble?"

Bai Ruo was feeling quite unhappy now, but when talking to Duo'er, she still deliberately kept these negative emotions out of her tone.

Duo'er shook her head and said, "No. Anyway, even if you don't take action, things won't get better. If you don't stop them from collecting food and troops, the city will be ruined."

"Then what's the point of hiding this from me?"

"Well, we originally wanted to find enough food for everyone in the winter, so that everyone can survive even if the food is requisitioned. As for why we have to hide it from you, because we don't want you to go on a killing spree. But now it seems

, I was wrong."

Duo'er stood up and knelt beside Bai Ruo, lowered her head and said, "If I had told my sister earlier, maybe she would have been able to persuade the big shots in Linyun City not to take action against Huangshi Town. In that case -"

Duo'er was halfway through her words.

Bai Ruo pinched her face, causing her pain so much that she couldn't continue talking.

Zhiyuan just wanted to give some advice and help Duo'er, but Bai Ruo turned around and glared at him, suppressing his words back in his throat.

Zhiyuan felt the murderous intention.

A chilling murderous intent.

And the murderous intention was not directed at him, but at Duo'er who was kneeling on the ground.

"General Zhiyuan still has official business to deal with, right? There are no visitors at the Bai Family Medical Center today. Please come back."

Bai Ruo's voice was extremely cold.

Zhiyuan was at a loss. He looked at Duo'er and saw Duo'er blinking at him, so he left in a hurry.

After he left, Bai Ruo picked Duo'er up from the ground, grabbed the back of her neck with one hand, and stroked her face with the other.

Bai Ruo asked her in a deep voice: "When did you start having such scary thoughts?"

"It started when I knew that those people were going to give up the lives of 20,000 people in Huangshi Town in order to fight for power."

"So you are using me for the sake of the people of Huangshi Town?"

Duo'er didn't answer, and Bai Ruo continued: "Maybe you didn't want me to kill anyone at first, so you didn't let me know about it, but then you discovered that no matter what method you use, as long as the people above are selfish, the people of Huangshi Town will never die.

There will be no days of peace. People like Lian Linduan who work conscientiously for the people in Huangshi Town will also choose to abandon Huangshi Town under this trend."

"So you woke up and thought it would be better to leave Huangshi Town to others than to yourself. This pushed me to a position where I couldn't retreat. On the surface, you asked me to protect Huangshi Town, but secretly you held the power.

"

"Did I say something wrong? Duo'er?"

Bai Ruo looked at Duo'er, waiting for her to speak.

"That's right, sister."

Duo'er showed a scary smile and said word by word: "Sister, you have a lot of time anyway, right? Besides, at this point, are you willing to give up on Huangshi Town and leave? From the moment they set their sights on this place, the outcome has been doomed."

Bai Ruoye asked her with a smile. Her smile looked even more evil than Duo'er's.

"How do you know I'm reluctant to let you go? I'm different from you. I don't even know the names of the neighbors nearby."

Duo'er realized something and suddenly shouted.

"I do not go!"

"Can I help you?"

"I won't leave! Even if I die!"

Duo'er showed an extremely rare expression of fear. If Bai wanted to do anything to her, she would have no room to resist. Even if he wanted to seek death, it was a luxury. Duo'er had experienced this kind of thing a long time ago.

So at this moment, she felt scared from the bottom of her heart.
