The young man in brocade came back to his senses and realized what had just happened. He gritted his teeth and rushed over with a long knife in hand!
Yunze pressed down and held the other half of the fairy jade in his hand. He pointed the sharp edge at the young man in brocade clothes and kept looking at his neck with his eyes.
Anyway, both sides are dead, so it’s better to have someone to support you!
But before the young man in brocade could rush to Yunze, a group of people suddenly rushed over from a distance!
It's those villagers!
Someone stopped the government officials, and someone rushed directly in front of Yunze to separate him from the young man in brocade!
Aunt Wang, Uncle Liu, Mr. Zhang...
The figures whose names could be called were either standing in front of Yunze or blocking the government officials.
Before the young man spoke, it was not easy for the government officials to attack the people directly. If they accidentally killed one or two by mistake, they might not be able to keep their skin!
"How presumptuous! Do you want to die?"
The young man in gilded clothes roared angrily with a knife, but did not move forward rashly.
"You are so presumptuous! Doesn't the Tangshan Dynasty have no royal laws?"
A middle-aged man in a green shirt walked out of the crowd, holding a folding fan in his hand, showing no fear at all when facing the group of government officials.
His surname is Zhang. He is a teacher in Hanshan Village and the only scholar in the village. He never charges money for teaching children how to read and write, but only charges rice, flour, grain and oil. The villagers respect him very much.
Mr. Zhang stopped in front of the young man in brocade clothes and said: "It is obviously someone's ancestral property, but you insist on destroying it and taking someone else's life! Is this your royal method!"
"That's right! Xiaoyun, don't be afraid, Auntie is protecting you! I don't believe they dare to kill everyone in our village!"
"Yes!"
Uncle Liu was a butcher. He knew something was wrong with the Yun family, so he chased after him with a pair of knives for butchering meat and chopping bones. At this time, he was also protecting Yun Ze: "Wearing a skin, they are government servants? I think they are bandits pretending to be a gangster."
Yes! How can any government rob people of their things like this!"
That being said, both Yunze and Mr. Zhang could see that the group of people in front of them were indeed from the state capital and not bandits.
A boy with this kind of temperament cannot be born in a bandit den.
"Hehe, hehe!"
The young man in brocade sneered twice, and continued to move forward with the knife. He was already about three meters in front of Mr. Zhang: "You are sure you want to protect this little brat, right?"
Mr. Zhang did not answer, but bent down to pick up another piece of broken jade from the ground and handed it to Yunze behind him: "Xiaoyun, you go first! Let's stop him!"
"Mr. Zhang..."
"Walk!"
Mr. Zhang yelled one word, interrupting what he was about to say: "Don't worry, we didn't commit any crime, he doesn't dare to touch us! Only if you leave can our Hanshan Village be safe! Leave quickly!"
Yunze frowned, but he also knew that only by saving his life could he avenge his parents.
He took the broken jade handed over by Mr. Zhang, put it in his arms and ran out of the village!
"Stop him!"
Hearing the roar of the young man in brocade clothes, the government officials wanted to get rid of the villagers in front of them and hunt down Yunze who was about to escape.
But there are only a dozen or so government officials, so how can they get rid of hundreds of villagers?
Upon seeing this, the young man in brocade clothes became so angry that he stabbed Mr. Zhang in the chest with a knife!
How could a rotten scholar with no power be his opponent?
Mr. Zhang looked down at his blood-stained chest with disbelief on his face.
He had recited the books of sages since he was a child, and until his death he still believed in the existence of the king's law and believed that the other party would not dare to take action.
But now... with the appearance of the first corpse, the surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence.
The young man in brocade clothes drew out his knife, and the long knife dripping with blood was like a talisman, causing the surrounding villagers to avoid him.
Every time he took a step forward, the villagers blocking the road in front of him gave way.
But when the line of sight was completely widened, Yunze had already disappeared.
"Trash! They're all trash!"
The young man in brocade clothes was already angry, but now that he saw Yunze escaping, he was even more furious: "Kill! Kill them all for me!"
"Kill them all?"
A man dressed as a head catcher came close to the young man in brocade and whispered: "Master, this massacre of the village is a big deal. If I take the blame..."
"I'll carry it!"
The young man in brocade clothes just wants to wash away his anger with blood: "Kill these unruly people. If you dare to let one of them escape... Humph, don't blame me for going to your house to find someone to make up for it!"
"yes!"
The head catcher had no choice but to turn around, raise his hand, and order the officials: "Draw your sword!"
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the butcher knife was finally raised.
…
Yunze ran all the way out of the village, but the mountain road outside Hanshan Village was rugged and it was evening again.
Once the sun sets, even if he, a local, goes out, it is easy to get lost in the mountains and forests, or encounter wild animals that come out to look for food in the evening.
Instead of escaping from the village now, it is better to find a place to hide in the village and wait for those guys to leave before coming out.
Even if you have to leave Hanshan Village, you can still prepare your travel expenses and dry food before leaving.
Yunze led a donkey at the entrance of the village, tied a carrot on its head, and whipped it on the buttocks.
The donkey ran all the way out of the village, leaving many hoof prints on the mud!
Yunze turned around and looked for an abandoned well that had been dry for a long time. He found a wooden board to cover the manhole cover, leaving a hole for breathing, and then climbed to the bottom of the well along the rope.
Not many people in the village even know about this place, let alone the young man in brocade.
Yunze took out the two pieces of broken jade from his arms, feeling filled with sadness.
Is the so-called immortal really worth pursuing by so many people?
The ancestors would rather give up their family wealth to hold on to the possibility for their descendants; the parents would rather die than reveal the location where the fairy jade is hidden.
The young man in brocade clothes was already a winner in life, but for this so-called immortal fate, he became so crazy.
A seed of curiosity couldn't help but be planted in Yunze's heart!
If given the chance, he would really like to know what is so good about this so-called immortal that can make so many people flock to him like moths to the flame.
I do not know how long it has been.
The setting sun that penetrated the manhole cover gradually turned into moonlight, but there was still no smoke from cooking or the smell of vegetables and meat coming from outside.
A bad premonition came to Yunze's mind.
He didn't want to hide anymore at this moment, so he climbed up again along the rope.
The moment he lifted the manhole cover, a nauseating smell of blood hit his face!
Yunze's heart trembled, and he hurriedly followed the direction where the smell of blood came from until he reached the dilapidated tile-roofed house, where he suddenly froze.
Under the moonlight, hundreds of corpses were scattered on the ground. They died in different ways, and some even had only half their faces left, but Yunze could still call their names.
Uncle Liu, Mr. Zhang, Aunt Wang, Goudan, Xiaoyu...
The entire Hanshan Village is here now, regardless of gender, young or old.
Yunze felt a chill surge into his heart, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his ears seemed to be filled with their dying cries.
Revenge! Revenge!
There are only these two words left in his mind now, and he is about to go to the state capital!
But at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the distance, as if something was moving.
Could it be that those people haven’t left yet?
Yunze's blood rushed to his head and he took advantage of the darkness to touch it.
But when he stepped forward to take a look, his whole body froze in place, and his hands and feet felt cold.
