Legend of the Knight

Chapter 25

The thirteen bandits lined up on the ground, and when the first few buckets of cold water were poured on them, they all woke up in shock.

These bandits woke up and found that they were tied up, so one of them suddenly screamed loudly.As a result, just as he yelled, Huang Xiaoshi chopped off his head with a steel knife and chopped him to death on the ground.

Huang Xiaoshi didn't want to show off his martial arts in front of others, it was more convenient to use a knife at such a time.

Just as Huang Xiaoshi hacked a bandit to death with a single blow, another person stood up and tried to escape.

After the bandit ran a few steps away, Huang Xiaoshi flew from behind and slashed at his body. After the knife flashed, the body was separated.

Run, let's see if you are faster or I am faster.

Killing first and then interrogating, this is what Huang Xiaoshi learned from the bandits in Heifengzhai, the effect was not bad, and the rest of the bandits suddenly became honest.

"Pull them up." Huang Xiaoshi gave an order, and the eleven disciples grabbed the noose from behind and lifted the gangsters who were lying on their stomachs, then knelt and pressed them to the ground.

Huang Xiaoshi started to interrogate the first bandit with a knife.

"What's your name?" Huang Xiaoshi pointed the bloody knife at the first bandit.

After a short breath, Huang Xiaoshi swung the knife down and chopped the bandit to death.

Huang Xiaoshi turned around and pointed the knife at the second bandit, asking, "What's your name?"

The second bandit seemed to be about to pee out of fright. He was pointed at by the knife, and half crying and half shouting: "My name is Zhao Ergou, from the cage village, and I was also forced to enter this year. Fengzhai. Please do me a favor. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and children. I beg you to let me go. My whole family is grateful for you..."

Huang Xiaoshi didn't wait for him to finish, he still hacked to death, and then said flatly: "Too much nonsense."

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi pointed at the third bandit with a knife, and also asked, "What's your name?"

After interrogation, Huang Xiaoshi learned that this group of bandits came out from Heifengzhai to thresh grain and grass five days ago, that is to say, they were called to rob everywhere.

They broke into a small village the day before yesterday, and there was information about Fat Sheep provided by an eyeliner in Heifengzhai.

As a result, this group of bandits went to Fei Yang's house and searched for a long time, only to find a few coins.

After violently interrogating the man's wife and children and exhausting all kinds of cruel means, the bandit leader finally believed that the family really had no money at the moment, because his family's money was given to Shennong Baicaomen as payment for goods.

The bandit leader asked in detail, and learned that Shennong Baicaomen was about to deliver a batch of elixirs, and even asked about the transportation route.

After the contented bandit leader wiped out the family, he took the bandits to set up an ambush. Sure enough, a day later, they waited for the people from Shennong Baicaomen, robbed the batch of goods, and made a fortune.

As for asking for a ransom of 3000 taels of silver from Luoyang City, it was the leader who came up with it himself.

The leader arrested more than a dozen people at once. He counted 200 taels of silver per person, and then collected the change to make up a whole number, so he asked for a ransom of 3000 taels of silver.

But this stupid man never expected that a sect could not collect 3000 taels of silver within three days.

This is not determined by financial resources, but is limited by currency circulation.

It turned out to be just a coincidence?
After Huang Xiaoshi asked several times over and over again, he found that he couldn't figure out why, so Huang Xiaoshi planned to ask someone to check again, who was the agent who was exterminated, whether there were any relatives in the family, and whether there was anyone who needed to be taken care of.

Although it is not uncommon for the whole family to be wiped out by bandits, when it comes to Shennong Baicaomen, it must be taken care of.

After the questioning, Huang Xiaoshi took the knife and hacked all the remaining bandits to death one by one, and then asked the doorman to dig a hole to bury them.And Huang Xiaoshi got a big brazier and moved it to the ruined temple, and he wanted to interrogate the leader alone.

Huang Xiaoshi's interrogation method is very simple. He asks questions, and the leader answers. If he is not satisfied, he will cut off the leader's fingers with a knife.

But Huang Xiaoshi is more careful and careful, he is reluctant to cut off a whole finger every time, he chops off one by one.

Afterwards, screams came out from the ruined temple one after another, and the doormen outside the ruined temple felt refreshed after hearing this.

These bandits who chopped off their heads deserve to be killed.

After repeated interrogation for a long time, the knuckles and toes fell to the ground, and the gangster wanted to die quickly while panting. Huang Xiaoshi combined the information from both sides and came to a conclusion:
The robbery of goods and doormen this time was indeed a random and unexpected incident. No one or organization was specifically targeting Shennong Baicaomen.

When Huang Xiaoshi left the temple gate with the bandit leader who was only breathing, the disciples of Shennong Baicaomen had already dug a big hole with hoes, and the corpses of more than a dozen bandits were stacked neatly.

Huang Xiaoshi threw the bandit leader who was still alive into the pit, and then ordered the disciples to fill in the soil.

When everyone filled the soft soil with a layer, they stepped on it with their feet, and continued to fill it up.

Until the end, when the pit was full to the ground, a group of big men urinated on the ground together in a circle, hoping that the corpse would not be dug out by wolves or wild dogs before the smell of people dissipated.

After finishing the work, it was still before dawn, Huang Xiaoshi took off his coat and trousers and threw them into the fire, and suddenly there was a smell of burning.Sure enough, with blood stains on his clothes, there is no one murder that can kill him cleanly.

The robbed goods and salutes were all there. After Huang Xiaoshi found a set of clean clothes and put them on, he gathered the doormen and gave some orders, asking them to clean up the bloodstains of the ruined temple after dawn. The robbers' knives Dispose of them all when passing by mountain cols or pools, and a seal order is issued, and this matter must not be announced.

Everyone in the door knew the seriousness of Huang Xiaoshi's password-sealed order.

This time, Huang Xiaoshi killed more than a dozen people in Heifengzhai. If this matter was revealed, Shennong Baicaomen would definitely be targeted by Heifengzhai.

Maybe the people in Heifengzhai will have nothing to do with Huang Xiaoshi for a while, but there are more than a dozen of them, the lives of the whole family may be in danger.

After Huang Xiaoshi arranged the handling matters, he said to the lead doorman: "Let's split up and go. I will rush back to the city overnight. You will come to Luoyang City tomorrow pretending that nothing is wrong."

After speaking, Huang Xiaoshi raised his head to identify the direction, ran towards the direction of Luoyang City, and finally returned to Luoyang City just as the sky was turning white.

After running back and forth all night, besides saving his own people, the unexpected joy was that Huang Xiaoshi had upgraded to level 19.

To be honest, this time was really a surprise. Huang Xiaoshi really didn't expect to earn experience points when he killed someone.

Huang Xiaoshi was originally prepared for a bloody battle in this starry night raid, and he even brought a 【Shengsheng Creation Pill】.

As a result, under Huang Xiaoshi's textbook stealth, he quietly eliminated the bandits in Heifeng Village.

With Huang Xiaoshi's skill and instinct, his stealth assassination this time, not to mention a group of bandits, even elite officers and soldiers could not resist.

After killing more than a dozen bandits, especially a high-level leader, there is naturally a lot of experience points to be earned.

There is a joy in upgrading, but it is not enough.

Huang Xiaoshi needs to improve his level more urgently than before. After all, according to some old-fashioned words, the wheel of history has begun to roll forward, and Huang Xiaoshi doesn't want to be crushed to death by it.

Originally, in the first half of the night, the qi and blood value that was kept full through the internal force replenishment, under the double influence of [fatigue] and [hunger], gradually fell during the rush. Huang Xiaoshi ran at full strength all the way to the city wall. Only then did he stop to catch his breath.

He didn't sleep all night, and he ran another mountain marathon, although his body was so strong that no one else could compare, Huang Xiaoshi still felt a bit tired.

Finally, when the sky was bright, the city gate opened, and Huang Xiaoshi rushed into the city.

Back at Shennong Baicaomen, those who saw Huang Xiaoshi coming back from the outside thought that he just went for a stroll in the morning.

Huang Xiaoshi found the doorman whom he had left to work last night, pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him, and then Huang Xiaoshi went to his room.

First put away the Shengsheng Huadan, then reached out and took out a bunch of copper coins from the locker and put them in his pocket, Huang Xiaoshi went out to have breakfast.

He wants to eat ten bowls of his mother-in-law's mutton soup in Luoyang!

……

"Hi, the eighth bowl."

With a full belch, Huang Xiaoshi piled a huge sea bowl on top, and he finally gave up the idea of ​​ordering another bowl.

After Huang Xiaoshi patted his stomach contentedly, he took out the small money in his bosom, drew out 80 Wen in a random stroke, and handed it to Granny Huai's third daughter-in-law.

"Thank you, Master Huang, for taking care of me." The third daughter-in-law who was pregnant with her mother-in-law thanked Huang Xiaoshi with a smile on her face.

"I'm too full today, so I'll come back tomorrow." Huang Xiaoshi staggered along the streets while supporting his stomach, walking around in a swaying manner, trying to digest his food.

Huang Xiaoshi went to eat mutton soup early in the morning. On the one hand, he was really hungry and needed a lot of meat to replenish his energy. On the other hand, he also wanted to keep his personal ID.

Last night when Huang Xiaoshi rushed to attack and kill the bandits in Heifeng Village, he didn't seek fame or profit, he just wanted to hide this incident quietly.

So, Huang Xiaoshi went to eat mutton soup early in the morning. Everyone in the morning market can testify to him that Huang Xiaoshi did not leave Luoyang City.

After all, eating breakfast with [-] Wen is too extravagant for people in the market, and it can leave a deep impression on everyone.

Speaking of which, Huang Xiaoshi has never shown his martial arts since he arrived in Luoyang. After all, there are too many gods in this big city of Luoyang.

Nowadays, many ordinary people in the market think that Shennong Baicaomen is just an organization that sells medicines, ignoring that if it is only selling medicines, why not change the name of the organization to Shennong Baicaotang instead of keeping the word "door".

After Huang Xiaoshi walked around the street, he slowly returned to the door. He wandered to the backyard, and saw that Xiao Li, who escaped yesterday, had been taken out by the guarantor.

There was no one else at the moment, after Huang Xiaoshi gave Xiao Li instructions for a while, Xiao Li nodded.Afterwards, Xiao Li came out from the east gate wearing a bamboo hat that shaded the sun, and went to Dukang Village in the southwest after a circle around the city.

After arranging these things, Huang Xiaoshi continued to wander around the street until the afternoon, before turning back to the door.

When Huang Xiaoshi returned to the door, the person who transported the pill had already arrived. When everyone saw Huang Xiaoshi came back, someone immediately shouted at him: "Master Shi, something happened."

Huang Xiaoshi raised his eyebrows, and asked seriously, "What's wrong?"

According to the report from the leading doorman, when they came, they were at Dashibao, more than 20 miles away from the city. When a doorman went to defecate alone, he slipped on the mud and fell off the cliff.

More than a dozen of them looked at the bottom of the valley and shouted for a long time, but there was no response, so they hurried to the city with their goods to find helpers.

"Then what are you talking about! Let's go, hurry up and save people while it's still light!" Huang Xiaoshi immediately waved his hand and asked someone to prepare a rope torch.

"Master Shi." The lead doorman pulled Huang Xiaoshi, and after stopping Huang Xiaoshi, he said earnestly: "It's not that I'm cursing that brother. You also know that the cliff at Dashibao is hundreds of meters high. This roll, don't talk about life, I'm afraid that the body may not be whole, and there is no need to save him, he would have died a long time ago."

As soon as the leading disciple said, the other disciples also nodded.

After the team that transported the elixir just came back, they told the other disciples about it. In fact, everyone knows that this person died [-]% of the time when he fell, and now it's just a matter of how to deal with the aftermath.

The doorman who fell off the cliff was from Luoyang, his family was in the east of the city, and there was only one daughter-in-law and two young children in the family.

Huang Xiaoshi looked at the sky, and said to the disciples around him: "Shanzi, third brother, Erniu, you three will follow me later, we have to take note of the family first.

The others have worked hard, take a good rest today, bring the ropes and climbing tools, and tomorrow we will go to Dashibao early in the morning.

Brother Yong, please go to the Keyue Building, don’t ask for anything else, tell them to kill a live sheep and prepare it and bring it over, we will have lamb at night. "

After the arrangement was made, Huang Xiaoshi took the three disciples to the house of the disciple who stumbled and fell off the cliff.

The daughter-in-law with her two children cried like tears after hearing this, until she couldn't see her eyes at the end and could only be led away by others.

Early the next morning, the leading disciple gathered more than 20 strong men, and went up the mountain with food and tools to find someone. He didn't return until the fourth day. In the end, he found only one man who had been half-gnawed by wild animals. crippled body.

Under the help of everyone, at least the family's funeral was settled.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi came to the door with his servants again, handed over a jaw-dropping pension to the widow, and promised that there would be a monthly allowance until the eldest child turned 14.

After this incident, many people felt that it was worthwhile to sell their lives to Shennong Baicaomen.

Originally, porters are cheap, that is to say, only Shennong Baicaomen treats them as human beings.

In many cases, the life of a porter is no match for a mule, not to mention a horse, and is only worth the price of a donkey.

As for the disappearance of a group of people in Heifengzhai without a trace, even rumors have not been heard in the Jianghu.

This thing has just passed.
