Chapter 42: Shock

Zhou Xian summoned everyone and asked Wang Maozi to carry the whole box of silver with silver and briefly talked to the village emperor about his plan to allocate the silver.

This lecture instantly raised everyone's mood, and their heartbeats began to accelerate sharply. Kill one person and reward ten taels of silver, which was almost their salary for the whole year. Especially Zhang Hu, when he heard that he had only received fifty taels of silver, his face was even brighter than a flower.

Zhou Xian looked at them excitedly and waved his hand to calm them down.

"From the future, all of us will be comrades of life and death. If we have to reward more silver, we will take the time to invite a few brothers to the restaurant to have a few drinks. Even if we have to reward less silver, don't be too discouraged. There are still many opportunities like this in the future. As for the remaining silver, I will not take it alone, and I will use it as a pension for my brothers to die in the future and be injured. In short, with one word, follow me, I will guarantee you no worries about life and death."

"Thank you, the Second Young Master!" Zhang Hu shouted loudly.

"Thank you, the Second Young Master!" Everyone responded loudly.

Zhou Xian asked everyone to prepare firewood and instructed Wang Maozi to deal with the body. Then he called Zhang Hu and asked him to take two village heroes to accompany Wanda to pick up his relatives into the city.

Wang Maozi frowned and said, "Second Young Master, there are two thousand elite bandits in Beizhai, and there will inevitably be accidents. Let Xiaodi go with Master Lin! I will tell you the details when I come back, isn't it the same?"

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "No need, it's not that you are going to fight with them, but just go to the dark to touch the situation. What danger will be? Brother Wang, transport all the silver, weapons, armor and that cart of miscellaneous items brought by the bandits. Don't let the brothers speak out first, and wait until I go back, and then centrally distribute the reward silver."

Maozi Wang nodded and said, "Yes!"

Lin Bao and Zhou Xian found two ragged clothes and changed into blood-stained clothes on their bodies. Lin Bao put a short knife on his waist, and Zhou Xian only took his dagger. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly set off.

The Heilong Temple is located on the north side of the main village set up by Yang Si. In order to prevent being discovered by other bandits in the village, Zhou Xian and Lin Bao took a lot of roads. They arrived near Beizhai until nearly five o'clock in the morning. After a little investigation, they found that the terrain was already dawn, so they had to hurry back to the city.

After drinking some porridge, Zhang Hu came in to report that he had taken Wanda's family back to the Township Yong Group. But when he came back, he met Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Hu deceived him that these people were all his relatives.

Zhou Xian frowned and pondered for a moment: "Zhang Yuan is a monkey spirit, and it is impossible to hide it from him. You should go to Zhang Yuan now and ask him to come to my account immediately, and say I have something to look for him."

Zhang Hu responded and walked out. After a while, he walked back with Zhang Yuan.

Zhou Xian bowed and smiled, "Master Zhang is so excited. He actually got up so early today?"

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "Then it's not as early as the young master's day! I heard that the young master went out of the city last night and asked Maozi Wang to transport a large truck full of supplies. But I don't know where these came from?"

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Master Zhang. I did leave the city last night and I did get a truck of supplies back. But unfortunately, they are not good things. In fact, I am about to go find you? Since Master Zhang is so interested, let's go and have a look together! If you want to sell this batch of supplies in the city, I will have to trouble you?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the caravans with various kinds of farm tools, torn clothes, bows and arrows, armor and long swords covered with the ground with a puzzled look. He looked at Zhou Xian and said in a daze: "Second Young Master, these are..."

Zhou Xian said: "Last night, I pulled a Xiaoqi Township hero out for training. I accidentally encountered a group of thieves looting the village. I was angry for a moment and asked my brothers to attack and killed more than 30 bandits. The weapons were in their hands, and the cart of supplies were they looting the village."

"More than thirty? All of them were killed by the local brave men."

Zhou Xian looked at Zhang Yuan and smiled slightly and said, "Don't Master Zhang believe it?"

Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Zhang Hu ordered someone to carry the big wooden barrel over and let Master Zhang take a look at it himself."

Zhang Yuan looked surprised and thought it was something good, so he quickly stretched out his head to see it. His face turned pale and he couldn't help swallowing and spitting.

"Head..."

"It's the heads, these are the heads of those bandits."

Zhou Xian stood beside Zhang Yuan, pointed inside, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Master Zhang, have you seen that head? It's the one with scars on his face. He is the bandit leader, and others call him Yang Liu."

Zhang Yuan looked at Zhou Xian in surprise and said in a tremolo: "Yang Liu, Yang Si's brother..."

"Hey! Master Zhang is worthy of being a senior in the army. He even knows this. This time he encountered a bandit bandit unexpectedly. I just came back, so I told you at this time. Although Master Zhang, you were not here, you must be indispensable when you report this credit to Lord County Zun. We said that Master Zhang led us out and saw the bandit bandits plundering the people, you were filled with righteous indignation and went forward and took Yang Liu with a knife. Brothers are anxious because of your courage, and he defeated the bandit bandits. At that time, Lord County Zun will have a heavy reward."

Zhang Yuan's face turned pale again, thinking that Zhou Xian was really stupid or fake! If Yang Six could kill Yang Six, how could Yang Si give up? If Yang Si led his troops to attack and Pan Hong really thought that he had killed Yang Six, he would be likely to directly tie him up and apologize to Yang Si. Even if Pan Hong did not give him to Yang Si, Yang Si would have more than 20,000 people. If he was asked to break through Wuyang, he would still be the word "death" at that time.

No, this kid openly wants to give me credit, but secretly wants me to die. I can't agree to this matter no matter what.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Second Young Master, I have no credit for this matter, how dare I make great contributions? Besides, my brothers are watching? If I get the credit rashly, County Magistrate Pan will find out and will not peel my skin."

Zhou Xian waved his hand, glanced at everyone, and said sternly: "You all listen to me, Yang Liu was killed by Master Zhang. If anyone is gossiping and dares to say no in front of County Magistrate Pan, I can't spare him."

Everyone responded loudly: "Yes!"

Zhou Xian nodded with satisfaction, turned to Zhang Yuan and said, "Master Zhang, this is OK!"

Zhang Yuan opened his mouth, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily. These people now obeyed Zhou Xianyan. After he said this, after the local brave men again, who would believe that he had killed Yang Liu? "Second Young Master, this matter must not be like this! I really dare not live in such a credit, so you should spare me!"

Zhou Xian stepped forward to support Zhang Yuan, who was about to kneel down, pretended to be surprised and said, "What did Master Zhang say? Since you don't want to, how can I force it? But I don't plan to tell Magistrate Pan about this matter for the time being, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"Of course, of course, the villain must keep it confidential." Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xian nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine. As for these things, besides retaining weapons such as armor and long swords, please help me with other things. It's better to have three or seven, let's settle the accounts clearly and share the blessing."
Chapter completed!
