Ru Heng’s pitiful screams of pain and agony made your family members’ hair stand on end. They couldn’t imagine the pain and torture Ru Heng was going through.
"Stop!"
"What did you do to him?!"
Ru Chengzhou angrily scolded and questioned Zhang Xiaozu.
"Don't worry, it's just a small punishment, you won't die."
Zhang Xiaozhu's tone was indifferent and indifferent, as if it was really just a small punishment. If you couldn't hear Ru Heng's shrill screams, your family might really believe it.
"As long as he reveals the hiding place of the food he robbed, I will relieve his pain immediately, otherwise I don't mind doubling the pain he endures," Zhang Xiaozhu said.
"Ah - the food is -"
"shut up!"
Ru Heng couldn't bear the pain of burning his soul. Hearing Zhang Xiaozu say that he wanted to double his pain, he was about to confess, but was cut off by Ru Junmei.
"Zhang Xiaopeng, don't bully others too much!"
"This is naked revenge."
"It's an abuse of lynching, and you're beaten into submission!"
"I'm going to the imperial capital to sue you!"
Ru Jun met yelled at Zhang Xiaopeng, his words were fierce and plausible, but in his heart he was panicking, for fear that Ru Heng would confess.
Zhang Xiaozu glanced sideways at him and sneered: "What is this? In order to make Guang Jingshuo reveal the real murderer behind the scenes, I killed hundreds of men from the three Guang family clans, and almost killed all the men from the three Guang family clans.
.So it doesn’t matter whether the method is cruel or not, as long as it works.”
When your family members heard this, they all gasped and looked at Zhang Xiaopou as if they were looking at a devil.
"Boy, you are so cruel, aren't you afraid of retribution?!" Ruchengzhou shouted.
"Haha, retribution?" Zhang Xiaozu sneered and asked: "You colluded with the water thieves to rob the life-saving food of the people in the south, killing more than 20,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for the empire, and made the people in the south unable to eat life-saving food.
Thousands of people will starve to death every day for food. You have committed such heinous crimes and you are not afraid of retribution. I only killed less than a thousand people, so what should I fear about retribution?"
"Ah - Father, I really can't stand it anymore - ah - the food is here -"
Ru Heng was scolded by Ru Jun and he persisted for a while longer, but the burning in his soul neither stopped nor diminished, so he only persisted for a while longer.
Ru Junmei suddenly ignored the knife on his neck, suddenly pounced on Ru Heng, and punched Ru Heng in the head. He didn't know whether he wanted to knock Ru Heng unconscious or kill him with one punch.
But before his fist could touch Ru Heng, Zhang Xiaopou grabbed his wrist and blocked it.
"Ru Junmei, you actually want to kill someone and silence them!"
"He is your son!"
"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds, but you are worse than a beast!"
Zhang Xiaozu deliberately shouted angrily at Ru Junmei.
"Ah - father, you - you - are so cruel - ah - the food is hidden in Donglin Mountain - quickly - help me - help me relieve my pain - ah -"
Ru Heng was emotionally overwhelmed. In fact, he was just holding his head and screaming and didn't pay attention to what Ru Junmei did. It was Zhang Xiaozu's angry scolding that caught his attention.
He followed the call and saw Ru Junmei's fist being clenched by Zhang Xiaozu. When he thought about Zhang Xiaozu's curse, he immediately believed it, thinking that his father really wanted to kill him to silence him. He suffered both physical and mental pain.
Ask him to give up resistance completely and reveal the location where the food is hidden.
In fact, not only Ru Heng believed it, but also everyone in the Ru family in the hall believed it, because Ru Junmei's behavior really looked like murder and silence.
Therefore, each of their faces became very ugly. Even if Ru Heng didn't say it out, they already understood that the food robbery must have been done by Ru Junhu and his son.
"as you wish."
Zhang Xiaozu reached out and wiped Ru Heng's head, releasing the power of the ghost curse that was burning his soul.
Ru Heng's screams gradually stopped, his body was already soaked with cold sweat, and there was a faint odor coming from his crotch. He lay exhausted on the ground, breathing heavily, like a fish that was about to die.
Ru Junmei slumped down next to Ru Heng with a pale face, and explained in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to kill you, I just want to knock you out."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the livid Ru Chengzhou and asked: "Old General, does he know where Donglin Mountain is?"
"I know." Ru Chengzhou responded.
"Then I wonder if the old general can show you the way. The people in the southern border are waiting for food to save their lives, so time is urgent and there is no time to delay." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Ru Chengzhou said: "There are many mosquitoes in the mountains now. Zhang Da is a delicate and precious person, so don't go into the deep mountains and old forests to suffer. I immediately sent someone to transport the food that these two evil beasts had snatched from the mountains. Your family will give you another twenty thousand shi."
I will pay compensation in grain to apologize, and order people to transport all the grain to Yancheng as quickly as possible. Is this good?"
Zhang Xiaozhu was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ru Chengzhou would be so straightforward. He recognized the crime committed by Ru Junhu and his son, and didn't even send anyone to Donglin Mountain to confirm it. Not only that, he also took the initiative to give
Pay compensation and provide people and efforts to send food to Yancheng.
It was so refreshing that Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but feel weird.
"I hope Mr. Zhang will raise his noble hand and let your family have a way out." Ru Chengzhou lowered his posture and begged Zhang Xiaopou.
When the men of the Ru family saw Ru Chengzhou lowering his head to beg for mercy from Zhang Xiaozu, a young junior, they all looked ugly and angry, but no one dared to say "no" because they all realized that Ru Jun and his son were colluding.
The water thieves robbed the official grain and committed the serious crime of confiscating the house. If they continue to entangle and cause trouble, they will only push your family into the abyss step by step.
So everyone stared at Ru Junmei and Ru Heng in unison, hating them so much that they gnashed their teeth.
Zhang Xiaozu understood why Ru Chengzhou was suddenly "refreshed", but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he restrained his expression and said seriously: "Everyone must bear the corresponding responsibility for the mistakes they committed. There are more than 20,000 people in Yancheng."
The soldiers who died in battle need an explanation."
Ru Chengzhou stared into Zhang Xiaopou's eyes, remained silent for dozens of familiar words, and then nodded and said: "Okay!"
After saying that, he walked towards Ru Junmei, and before Ru Junmei could react, he slapped him on the top of his head.
Ru Junmei groaned, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he lost his life.
Ru Chengzhou then squatted down and slapped Ru Heng on the head with the same palm. Ru Heng also groaned and went to the underworld.
The entire hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
No one expected that Ru Chengzhou would be so ruthless, killing his own son and grandson at will.
"Master Zhang, can you give an explanation to Yancheng's soldiers who died in vain? If that's not enough, I can continue killing. I have many sons, so it doesn't matter if I kill a few." Ru Chengzhou asked Zhang Xiaopeng with a cold face.
"Then kill them all, and then you can commit suicide and apologize." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"You——" Ru Chengzhou was angry.
Everyone could tell that he was speaking out of anger, but Zhang Xiaozu actually pretended to be dumbfounded. Not only did he not sympathize with his son and grandson who had just died, but he deliberately spoke out to choke him to death. This made him angry.
Zhang Xiaopou sneered and said: "I admire you for your righteousness in killing relatives, but you have to blame these two bastards on my head in a weird way. I can't bear it."
"Is there anything else, Mr. Zhang?" Ru Chengzhou didn't want to argue with Zhang Xiaozu, so he directly issued an order to expel Zhang Xiaozu.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaozu and others led the army out of Zhanzhou City.
It was dusk when they came, and night had already fallen. They didn't dare to let the army rest for a night in Zhanzhou City, because there were 50,000 troops in Zhanzhou City who were under orders from Ruchengzhou, and they didn't dare to guarantee that Ruchengzhou would meet
He won't go crazy or do anything crazy in the middle of the night, so he leaves the city overnight.
After being fifty miles away from Zhanzhou City in one breath, Zhao Quan ordered the entire army to rest.
"The emperor's arrows are so useful, I thought we were going to have a big battle." Zhao Quan smacked his lips and sighed with emotion by the campfire.
"It's because the old general has a high level of consciousness and upholds justice to destroy relatives." Yuan Taiping said.
Zhang Xiaozhu frowned and said: "I always feel that things are going too smoothly. Something seems to be wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong."
"Donglin Mountain." Zhou Jianlai said three words. Seeing Zhang Xiaozu and others looking at him, he added three more words: "There is something fishy."
"Yes, yes, there must be something wrong with Donglin Mountain." Zhang Xiaozhu was awakened by Zhou Jianlai's words and suddenly realized: "Ru Chengzhou's attitude changed drastically after hearing Ru Heng say 'Donglin Mountain'.
Change, he seems to be very afraid of us going to Donglin Mountain."
"Listening to what you said, it seems to be true." Zhao Quan recalled Ru Chengzhou's reaction at that time and found that it was true as Zhang Xiaozu said, and Ru Chengzhou seemed to be trying his best to cover up something.
"So, what's in the Donglin Mountains?" Niu Dawa asked curiously.
"It is most likely your family's secret base." Zhou Jianlai analyzed, "Two hundred thousand sacks of grain cannot be transported into the mountains without convenient transportation, and there is not enough storage space to store them."
"Want to go and take a look?" Niu Dawa's curiosity was aroused.
"We don't have much time." Zhang Xiaopou said.
Zhao Quan heard this and said: "I have never asked you, where are you going?"
"Muyang City." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"Muyang City?" Zhao Quan frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, Fu Yucheng is the son of the lord of Muyang City, right?"
"Yeah" Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"Then you still go to Muyang City? Aren't you afraid of being retaliated by the Fu family?" Zhao Quan asked in surprise, but before Zhang Xiaopou could answer, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "I forgot, you have the emperor's arrows, and the Fu family will show it to you
I don’t dare to embarrass you. By the way, you are not going to Muyang City with the emperor’s arrows to disgust the Fu family on purpose, right? If so, I advise you to give up this stupid idea.”
"Why?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
"As the saying goes: it's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. I heard the Lord of the City say that the Fu family is very powerful whether in the court or in the arena. I heard that it is because their family has a blessed place for cultivation, so there are many
People from the world of martial arts come here inexplicably to take advantage of the blessed land to cultivate, and these people from the world of martial arts all voluntarily become worshippers of the Fu family."
"So even if you have the emperor's arrows to protect you, it is best not to go to Shepherd City. On the surface, the Fu family does not dare to embarrass you, but secretly relying on the power of people in the world is more terrifying than the power on the surface."
Zhao Quan said.
"Hey -" Zhang Xiaozu sighed, "It's impossible not to go. His Majesty ordered us to go to Shepherd City on April 20th."
"Ah?" Zhao Quan was shocked. He never expected that it was the emperor's order for the four of them to go to Muyang City. After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Since it was His Majesty who asked you to go, the Fu family must not dare to do anything to you, at least in Muyang City.
Nothing will be done to you within the city's boundaries. As for outside the boundaries of Shepherd City, I think you'd better run as fast as you can."
"That's not necessarily the case." Niu Dawa shook his head. Seeing Zhao Quan's questioning look, he couldn't say that they killed Su Yang and had an affair with Su Hanlin. Maybe Su Hanlin just wanted to use the Fu family to get rid of them.
Su Yang takes revenge.
Niu Dawa thought for a while and said: "Fu Yucheng is so arrogant and domineering. I must be a hundred times more domineering. Maybe he will not be able to follow the emperor's order."
"Probably not," Zhao Quan said, but judging from his tone, it was obvious that he wasn't too sure.
"Today is the tenth day of April. There are still ten days left. There is enough time." Niu Dawa brought the topic back to the topic, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and the others and asked: "Just go to Donglin Mountain to take a look, take a look and leave, and be satisfied.
My curiosity."
"Okay, let's take a look." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and smiled, then looked at Zhao Quan and said: "Brother Zhao, let's say goodbye here. If anyone asks about this matter, you can tell the matter to
I push it on my body, I have the Emperor’s Order Arrow, and I carry out the Emperor’s order, and no one can say a word of ‘no’. And this matter is indeed caused by me, if I had not beaten up Ru Junmei in Yancheng
With Ru Heng, let them, father and son, go to Yancheng with their grudges in mind, and maybe there will be no such troubles."
"Thank you!" Zhao Quanchao said thanks to Zhang Xiaozu. He understood Zhang Xiaozu's good intentions and was very grateful.
