From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 32: Killing a Witness Late at Night (A small climax, please read on~)

"This man is called Xie Mengchang, the chief clerk of Guyang County, and one of our men."

Wang Hu put down the brush in his hand, and on the desk there was an ordinary and simple portrait.

He was about fifty years old, short, fat and bloated, with light eyebrows and no beard. His most obvious feature was the mole on the left side of his cheek.

Wang Hu went on to say, "He has been in charge of our smuggling accounts over the years, and he gets a lot of commission, more than I do."

"But this man is greedy and he embezzled a large amount of disaster relief funds from the imperial court last year. Now someone has reported him to the higher authorities. If he is caught, we will all be implicated."

Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly when he heard this: "So, sir, you want me to kill him?"

"That's right. You take action tonight, find the account, and then burn it."

"I am good at using guns. Shouldn't this kind of assassination be left to Zhang Lubing and his men?"

Wang Hu looked at him deeply, and then said solemnly: "You need to submit a letter of surrender."

As a new member of the gang, Wu Fengdeng is clean. Once something goes wrong, he can stay out of it, not ask about it, or even turn against the gang at the last minute.

This would make Xu Tailai and others feel very insecure, so they gave this task to him.

"Yes."

Wu Fengdeng knew that he could not refuse this matter, so he accepted the order and withdrew.

Although it is like trying to get the skin of a tiger and it is very dangerous, he is still happy to do it.

Disaster relief funds mean the lives of millions of refugees. Wu Fengdeng was originally a refugee, and he knew how difficult the journey was. He had a deep understanding of it, and even the money that originally belonged to him might have been his greed.

Therefore, Wu Fengdeng had no moral burden towards Xie Mengchang who embezzled disaster relief funds. Such a person must be eliminated as soon as possible. Even without the orders of Wang Hu and others, he would still enforce justice!
……

In the county center, there is a blue brick courtyard.

In the inky night, the orange light in the main wing is bright and transparent, and there are many human figures.

There was a square table in the room, filled with delicious dishes such as roast goose, bear paws, tiger penis and donkey meat. There were also three or two green wine jugs, which were dazzling and mouth-watering.

"Master, you can drink a lot~"

A soft moan was heard.

She was a young lady wearing only a red bellyband, with a pretty face and expressive eyes. She sat on Xie Mengchang's lap, smiling and feeding him glass of wine one after another.

Suck～～

Xie Mengchang's old face turned red, his thick lips pursed into a ball, and then he let out a comfortable "ah~".

"The wine served by the beauty tastes delicious, hehe."

He suddenly hugged the girl's waist tightly, and his big hands roamed around unscrupulously, making her gasp.

"Master~"

The lady leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"Will you buy the unpolished jade hairpin that I like?"

"Buy, buy, buy!"

Xie Mengchang rubbed it hard, with an obscene and wicked smile on his face.

"In a few days, the higher-ups will allocate disaster relief funds, and I will have a hundred or so taels of silver in my hands. By then, let alone the jade hairpin, even if you want the entire jade jewelry shop, I can buy it for you!"

In this chaotic time, it is a "good year" for a county clerk like him, especially for officials in desolate border areas.

Disaster relief funds, disaster relief grain, tax reductions and exemptions, support from the imperial court...

Countless amounts of silver flow in every year, enough to feed these big rats.

As for the life and death of the refugees and the resettlement of the disaster victims, no one cares.

The lives of untouchables are worthless.

"Okay, okay, the master is really capable. I really hope that there will be more and more victims among us."

Jiao Niang also had a heart of a vicious snake. Upon hearing this, she laughed even more wildly and behaved unrestrainedly.

"My little beauty, today I have given you a strong medicine, so I will treat you well!"

Xie Mengchang grinned lewdly, and as he spoke, he could no longer suppress his evil passion and executed him on the spot.

Squeak~bang!
Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened and then closed tightly. A young man in a black gown was already standing at the door, holding a bloody spear in his hand.

Call ~
Looking at the old man with a black mole in front of him and the pretty girl with only a bellyband left on, Wu Fengdeng slowly exhaled.

"who!"

what! !

Xie Mengchang was so frightened that he fell off the stool, breaking the wine glasses and dishes, causing a series of clanging sounds.

"Someone! Someone!"

The beautiful girl curled up in the corner, holding her chest, her face pale with fear.

Wu Fengdeng touched his nose and said calmly, "Don't shout. When you were drinking and having fun just now, I had already dealt with the guards outside."

The blood on the spear is the best proof.

His yard has high walls and a wide courtyard, and is guarded by seven or eight warriors. Looking at the entire Guyang County, it is as impregnable as a rock.

This guy was able to break in so quietly, which shows how skilled he is.

Xie Mengchang took a breath of cold air, and after realizing that the visitor was extraordinary, he could only force a bitter smile that was uglier than crying.

"Little brother, let's talk nicely. Let's talk nicely!"

Wu Fengdeng sat at the table as if nothing had happened, tore off a yellow chicken leg, and said while chewing: "You eat very luxuriously. The monthly salary of the county clerk is only one or two taels. Two months' salary would not be enough for this table of yours."

"Uh……"

Xie Mengchang got up from the ground and pulled up his crotch.

"Young man, you want money, right? No problem! I don't have anything else, but I have plenty of money!"

Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass and threw it on the table.

"Pour the wine."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, pour the wine!"

"Yes Yes!"

The beautiful girl was stunned for a moment, then she quickly stood up as if waking up from a dream, walked forward, picked up the wine jug, and began to pour the wine with trembling hands.

"My lord, please use it, please use it."

Wu Fengdeng picked it up and drank it all, then continued to eat with relish.

Seeing him eating so voraciously, Xie Mengchang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It looks like a thief who came from somewhere and came here to beg for money.

Since you want money, that's easy. I'll give you some change as a favor and then find a way to make you pay it all back later!

A cold light flashed in Xie Mengchang's small eyes, and then he smiled broadly.

"Hahaha, brother, you must be starving. Eat, eat, eat. It's all yours. I'll offer you a glass of wine. From now on, we'll be a family."

Swish!
A flash of cold light suddenly appeared, and the beautiful girl was so frightened that she hugged her head and shrank back.

Xie Mengchang froze. The bloody blade in front of him felt fishy and cold, causing him to tremble like a sieve.

"Bring all your money here, as well as the county government account books and the accounts of you and Xu Tailai and others smuggling weapons and food. Bring them all here."

Wu Fengdeng wiped his mouth, stood up and said coldly.

"You, you are..."

The first two sentences were fine, but the last sentence made Xie Mengchang's pupils shrink sharply and he was stunned.

"Go find it, or die."

A vague murderous intent lingered around Xie Mengchang. Being a cowardly person, he could not withstand such a threat and his trouser legs started to rattle from fright.

"Okay, okay! I'll get it! I'll get it! Don't be impulsive, brother!"

He swallowed, then hobbled to the back of the bed and reached out to press under the edge of the bed.

A secret compartment suddenly popped out of the bed board, and the golden light from it instantly illuminated Wu Fengdeng's eyes.
