Chapter 866 Sentenced to Capital Punishment (Update 6.06)

The crowd screamed.

Su Yumei also hurriedly closed the door, and when she turned around, the shopkeeper and the waiter had already disappeared.

Other guests in the inn were also running.

Li Man grabbed Fang Genghou and shoved him behind the empty counter, and he also sat down on the ground.

Su Heng stepped forward: "Big brother, don't you want to go together?"

"I'll wait for my boss." Li Man said.

"Let's go together," Su Yumei said, "Something might happen."

"I'll wait for my boss." Li Man still said the same.

"Sister, let's go." Su Heng said.

Su Yumei looked at her elder brother, and then at Li Man who was sitting on the ground with outriggers.

"I, I'll stay," Su Yumei said, "I think I'm useful, so I might be able to protect them."

Su Heng frowned and sighed softly: "Forget it, I'll stay too."

He went over to straighten the table and chairs that had been bumped into chaos, and sat down.

Su Yumei also went over and sat down on the long bench opposite him.

There were many miserable begging sounds outside, and the movement became more and more chaotic. Su Yumei looked back, feeling anxious and worried.

"I'd better go and have a look." She got up and said.

An old and faded piece of thick cloth was used to cover the window as a curtain. It was really dirty, with blood and snot marks on it. Su Yumei really didn't want to touch it.She walked to the door and still opened a crack.

But I saw that the gangsters were all restrained, kneeling in a row, and they looked like they were beaten badly, covering their waists, arms, and stomachs, begging for mercy all the time.

A soldier came on horseback and said loudly, "Don't be alarmed! We don't rob or snatch, we just pass by. We will never touch your belongings, and we won't hurt your hair! Don't be afraid, everyone!"

He pulled the rein, ran to the other side, repeated the meaning of these words loudly, and ran to the next place, yelling back and forth.

Gradually, some people came back with their bags, and some travelers from the inn poked their heads out.

Summoning her courage, Su Yumei also opened the door, and saw a group of troops riding on horseback, and a young girl walking beside the troops, talking to someone.

Several veterans gathered around Xia Zhaoyi, they had too much to say, endless grievances and endless sorrows.

Su Yumei was taken aback, turned back to the teahouse, and said softly: "Miss Ali is back, she is talking with those soldiers, it seems that she is an old friend she has known for a long time."

"An old friend?" Li Man got up from behind the counter, "An old friend from our boss?"

"Ah."

Li Man knew that Xia Zhaoyi came to Wanshanguan this time to meet an old friend.

However, why are there so many old friends.

Forget about it, Li Man turned around and went to the counter and pulled Fang Genghou up: "Come out!"

As the army approached, the first team of soldiers and horses who came on horseback turned back from the front.

Song Qingtang reined in his horse and stopped, and ordered the four runaway gangsters who had rushed back to kneel with their companions over there.

It is not difficult to find these gangsters at all, they are covered with blood, and when chasing them, they keep asking others if they have seen them.

One of them was lifted from the water, and the other hid behind the roadside weeds.

The gangsters came back and knelt down, trembling with fright, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Song Qingtang got off his horse, walked up and said, "Ali, see how to deal with it."

"I don't like to deal with this," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You do it."

Song Qingtang looked at a soldier behind Xia Zhaoyi: "Zhang Ji, come here."

Xia Zhaoyi turned around.

The soldier who was called was slightly stunned, and immediately got off his horse, and first raised his hand to salute Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss."

He walked forward unhurriedly, looking at the row of gangsters on the ground.

After a pause, Zhang Ji looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss, if you leave it to me, can I do whatever you want?"

Xia Zhaoyi glanced at Song Qingtang and nodded to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji saluted her again and turned to the gangsters.

His eyes swept over the blood on the gangster's body, and then at the broken corpse that had been hacked with a knife in the distance.

Zhang Ji asked, "Who chopped up that corpse?"

None of the gangsters responded, they all lowered their heads, several of them were too frightened to breathe.

"Don't say?" Zhang Ji asked.

"It's him!" A person on the side of the road pointed to a man among the gangsters, "I saw it with my own eyes, it's him!"

"It's not me! It's not me!" the man shouted hastily.

"That's him!" Another person stood up.

"I saw it too, it's him!"

"Thank you," Zhang Ji said, "Excuse me, is there anyone else who chopped up this corpse?"

"Nothing."

"He's the only one!"

"Others ran after them and chopped them down!"

Zhang Ji nodded and looked at Song Qingtang: "General Song, hang this man up and dry him to death, and the rest will be beheaded immediately."

The gangsters were shocked and raised their heads in panic and begged for mercy.

Among them was one who was hunted down, even shouting for injustice.

"You are not wronged at all," Zhang Ji said, "You are a gambler, and you deserve to be hunted down. And when you were hunted down, you kept pushing innocent people on the side of the road towards the knife. You are also a murderer."

"No, the little one is wronged! The little one is the victim!"

"General Song." Zhang Ji looked at Song Qingtang.

Song Qingtang nodded, and said to Xia Zhaoyi, "Ali."

"Ok?"

"I only have six subordinates, and now you are the leader of the Xia family army."

Xia Zhaoyi understood what he meant, and looked at Zhang Ji: "You have made a decision, so it is up to you to order and pass on the order."

"Yes!" Zhang Ji raised his hand to salute, then turned around and gave orders.

All the gangsters screamed and begged for mercy. They got up and ran away because they were too scared. How could they be the opponents of these experienced soldiers.

Except for the man who was hanged by name, all the other gangsters were escorted to the open space where they had gathered for gambling, beside the broken body.

Several people cried and struggled, and were forced to kneel down.

The tall soldier drew out his sword, and following Zhang Ji's order, the sharp blade fell down without hesitation.

The blood spattered three feet, and a dozen heads rolled down, and the blood spread all over the ground like a thick slurry.

Many people nearby covered their eyes with their heads sideways, and some women covered their mouths and exclaimed.

The only man who survived was so frightened that he wet his pants, and his limbs limp on the ground.

Two soldiers supported him, wrapped his limbs with thick hemp ropes, put him into a large bamboo basket found nearby, and hung him out of the mouth of the mountain.

The man kept begging for mercy, crying and screaming, to no avail, and his mouth was stuffed with a stinky rag.

Zhang Ji ordered the heads to be hung up, and the corpses were tied to big stones and thrown into the river.

After finishing all this, Zhang Jichong shouted to the crowd around him: "If someone asks what happened to these heads and corpses, you can tell the truth about everything today!"

"When we return, if this person's body is not on this bamboo basket, then we will destroy all the inns and teahouses nearby!"

"We will pass by this place often in the future, and we will punish those who commit crimes!"

There was silence around, no one dared to speak.

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he saluted Xia Zhaoyi and returned to the team.

The soldiers went back with him.

They were expressionless the whole time, as if they had never killed anyone.

Someone noticed that the beautiful and juicy girl had never blinked. Facing so many falling heads, her expression was always calm at such a young age.

Xia Zhaoyi turned around at this moment and looked towards the teahouse.

Li Man, Su Yumei, Su Heng, and the guests who heard the news and came back to check on the situation, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse all stood at the door, looking at her in surprise.

The gangster Fang Genghou was also there, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale and bloodless, and he began to fear who he had offended.

Earlier she said she was Li Xiao's unmarried daughter-in-law, but it didn't take long for Fang Genghou to discover that it was a lie.

From the looks of it now, her identity is not the woman of a leader general, she is the leader herself.

And, since she can kill people without mercy, and kill these gangsters in an instant, including those subordinates he brought out before, why should she keep him?

"Is there anything to eat?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

The shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly said, "Yes...but..."

"Go around the nearby teahouses and inns, I want all the food," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You have to empty out any stocks you have, and you are not allowed to leave a single grain of rice. I will pay double .”

Li Man had been with the girl for a while, and it was the first time he heard her being so domineering.

Seeing that the shopkeeper at the side didn't respond, Li Man immediately reprimanded: "What are you doing in a daze! Let me go!"

"Okay, okay..." the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I'll go right away, and the little one will go right away!"

He immediately took the buddy away.

This is double the price, but if you have to buy it short, you don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for a while.
