Thirteen bandits were lined up on the ground. When the first few buckets of cold water were poured down on them, they all woke up in shock and turned around.
The gangsters woke up and found themselves tied up, so one of them suddenly screamed loudly. As soon as he screamed, Huang Xiaoshi took a steel knife and chopped off his head, killing him on the ground with one blow.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't want to show off his martial arts skills in front of others. At this time, it was more convenient to use a knife.
Huang Xiaoshi had just killed a gangster with a knife when another person over there stood up and tried to escape.
After the gangster took a few steps away, Huang Xiaoshi flew from behind and slashed him. After the sword flashed, the corpse was separated.
Run, it depends on whether you are faster or I am faster.
Kill first and ask questions later. This is what Huang Xiaoshi learned from the gangsters in Heifeng Village. The effect was pretty good, and the remaining gangsters suddenly became honest.
"Pull them up." Huang Xiaoshi gave the order, and the eleven disciples grabbed the nooses from behind and lifted the gangsters who were lying down before kneeling down on the ground.
Huang Xiaoshi started interrogating the first gangster with a knife.
"What's your name?" Huang Xiaoshi pointed the bloody knife at the first gangster.
After a breath, Huang Xiaoshi slashed the gangster to the ground with one swing of his knife.
Huang Xiaoshi turned around, pointed the knife at the second gangster, and asked, "What's your name?"
The second gangster seemed to be frightened to the point of peeing. He was pointed at by the knife, and half cried and half shouted: "My name is Zhao Ergou. I am from Cage Village. I was forced to join the gang this year."
Fengzhai. This old man is doing well. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and children. Please let me go. My whole family feels sorry for you..."
Huang Xiaoshi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he still chopped him to death, and then said calmly: "Too much nonsense."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi pointed the knife at the third gangster and also asked: "What's your name?"
After interrogation, Huang Xiaoshi learned that these bandits came out from Heifeng Village five days ago to thresh grain and grass, which was also called robbing everywhere.
The day before yesterday, they entered a small village, where there was information about fat sheep provided by an informant in Heifeng Village.
As a result, this group of bandits went to Feiyang's home and searched for a long time, only to find a few coins.
After violently interrogating the man's wife, son and daughter, and using all kinds of cruel methods, the bandit leader finally believed that the family really had no money now, because all their money was given to Shennong Baicaomen as payment for goods.
The bandit leader inquired in detail and learned that Shennong Baicaomen was about to transport a batch of elixirs, and even asked about the transportation route.
After the satisfied bandit leader killed the family, he took the bandits to set up an ambush. Sure enough, one day later, they found someone from Shennong Baicaomen, so they robbed the goods and made a fortune.
As for the ransom request of three thousand taels of silver from the branch of Luoyang City, it was the leader's own idea.
The leader arrested more than ten people at once. He calculated the amount as two hundred taels of silver per person, then added up the fractions to make up a whole number, and then asked for a ransom of three thousand taels of silver.
But this fool never expected that a sect could not collect three thousand taels of silver in three days.
This is not determined by financial resources, but is restricted by currency circulation.
It was just an accident?
After Huang Xiaoshi asked over and over again, he found that he couldn't come up with any answers. He turned around and asked someone to check who the exterminated agent was, whether he had any relatives at home, and whether he had anyone who needed to be taken care of.
Although it is not uncommon for a whole family to be wiped out by bandits, when it comes to the Shennong Baicao Sect, it must be taken care of.
After asking questions, Huang Xiaoshi took a knife and chopped all the remaining bandits to death, and then asked his disciples to dig a hole to bury them. Huang Xiaoshi made a big fire pot and moved it to the ruined temple.
Interrogate the leader alone.
Huang Xiaoshi's interrogation method was very simple. He asked questions and the leader answered. If he was not satisfied, he would cut off the leader's fingers with a knife.
However, Huang Xiaoshi is very economical, and he is reluctant to cut off a whole finger every time, so he chops it off section by section.
Then, bursts of screams came from the ruined temple. After hearing this, the disciples outside the ruined temple felt refreshed in their hearts.
These head-cutting bandits deserve to be killed.
After reviewing it over and over for a long time, his knuckles and toes fell to the ground, and the bandit leader just wanted to die quickly while gasping for breath. Huang Xiaoshi combined the information from both sides and came to a conclusion:
The robbery of goods and members was indeed a random and unexpected incident. No one or organization was specifically targeting the Shennong Baicao Sect.
When Huang Xiaoshi carried the barely breathing bandit leader out of the temple, the disciples of Shennong Baicaomen had already dug a big pit with hoes, and the corpses of more than a dozen bandits were neatly stacked.
Huang Xiaoshi threw the bandit leader who was still alive into the pit, and then ordered his disciples to fill it with soil.
After everyone filled a layer of soft soil, they stepped on it with their feet. If it was trampled to death, they continued to fill it.
Until finally, when the pits were full and the ground was level, a group of grown men gathered in a circle and peed on the ground together, hoping that the bodies would not be dug up by wolves or wild dogs before the human smell dissipated.
After finishing the work, it was still dark. Huang Xiaoshi took off his coat and pants and threw them into the fire. Suddenly, a burning smell came out. Sure enough, there were no blood stains on his clothes.
One kill can be a clean one.
The robbed goods and salutes were all there. After Huang Xiaoshi found a set of clean clothes and put them on, he gathered his disciples together and gave some instructions, asking them to clean up the bloodstains in the ruined temple after dawn. The bandits' knives
They were all dealt with when passing by a mountain col or waterhole, and a silence order was issued so that the matter must not be made public.
Everyone knows the seriousness of Huang Xiaoshi's gag order.
This time, Huang Xiaoshi killed more than ten people from Heifeng Village. If this was revealed, Shennong Baicao Sect would definitely be targeted by Heifeng Village.
Maybe the people in Heifeng Village won't be able to do anything against Huang Xiaoshi for a while, but with more than ten of them, the lives of the whole family may not be safe.
After Huang Xiaoshi had arranged the matter, he said to the leading disciple: "We have to go separately. I will rush back to the city overnight. You can come to Luoyang tomorrow pretending to be fine."
After finishing speaking, Huang Xiaoshi raised his head to identify the direction, ran towards Luoyang City, and finally returned to Luoyang City when the sky turned white.
After running back and forth all night, in addition to saving his own people, the unexpected surprise was that Huang Xiaoshi was upgraded to level 19.
To be honest, this time it was really an unexpected surprise. Huang Xiaoshi really didn't expect to earn experience points when he killed people. He just wanted to silence him.
In this starry night attack, Huang Xiaoshi was originally prepared for a bloody battle, and he even brought a [Life and Fortune Pill] with him.
As a result, Huang Xiaoshi's textbook stealth attack was able to quietly eliminate the bandits in Heifeng Village.
With Huang Xiaoshi's skill and stubbornness, even elite officers and soldiers, not to mention a group of bandits, could not resist his stealth assassination this time.
After killing more than a dozen bandits, especially a high-level leader, you can naturally earn a lot of experience points.
There is inherent joy in upgrading, but it is not enough.
Huang Xiaoshi needs to upgrade his level more urgently than before. After all, according to some clichés, the wheel of history has begun to roll forward, and Huang Xiaoshi does not want to be crushed to death by it.
The blood value, which was originally maintained in a full state through internal force replenishment in the first half of the night, gradually dropped during the rush under the dual influence of [fatigue] and [hungry]. In order to make time, Huang Xiaoshi ran at full strength the whole way until he reached the city wall.
Then he stopped and took a breath.
He stayed up all night and ran another mountain marathon. Even though his body was already extremely strong, Huang Xiaoshi still felt tired.
Finally, when it was daylight, the city gate opened, and Huang Xiaoshi rushed into the city first.
Back at Shennong Baicao Gate, those gatekeepers who saw Huang Xiaoshi coming back from outside thought he just went for a walk in the morning.
Huang Xiaoshi found the doorman whom he had left to do business last night, pulled him aside and whispered a few instructions to him, before Huang Xiaoshi went to his room.
After putting the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill away, he reached out and took out a bunch of copper coins from the locker and put it in his arms. Huang Xiaoshi went out to have breakfast.
He wanted to eat ten bowls of Grandma Huai’s mutton soup in Luoyang City!
…
"Hiccup, the eighth bowl."
Huang Xiaoshi burped and stacked a huge sea bowl on top. He finally gave up the idea of ordering another bowl.
After Huang Xiaoshi patted his belly with satisfaction, he took out the small coin in his arms, drew out 80 Wen, and handed it to his third daughter-in-law, who was pregnant with his mother-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, come back tomorrow." Huang Xiaoshi held his stomach and walked staggeringly along the street to eliminate 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 physical strength. On the other hand, he also wanted to leave his personal identification card.
When Huang Xiaoshi attacked and killed the bandits in Heifeng Village last night, he didn't seek fame or profit, he just wanted to hide this matter quietly.
So, Huang Xiaoshi went to eat mutton soup early in the morning. Everyone in the morning market can testify for him that Huang Xiaoshi did not leave Luoyang City.
After all, spending eighty cents for breakfast 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 any martial arts since he arrived in Luoyang. After all, there are so many gods in this big city of Luoyang, and it would be really embarrassing for him to show off his three-legged cat kung fu.
Nowadays, many people in the market think that Shennong Baicaomen is just an organization that sells medicine. They ignore that if it just sells medicine, why not change the name of the organization to Shennong Baicaotang instead of retaining the word "men".
When Huang Xiaoshi walked around the street and slowly returned to the door, he wandered to the backyard and saw that Xiao Li, who had escaped yesterday, had been taken out by the bailiff.
There was no one else around at the moment. After Huang Xiaoshi gave instructions to Xiao Li for a while, Xiao Li nodded. Then, Xiao Li wore a hat to protect the sun and walked out of the east gate. After circling the city, he turned to Dukang Village in the southwest.
.
After making these arrangements, Huang Xiaoshi continued to wander around the street until the afternoon, and then returned to the door.
When Huang Xiaoshi returned to the door, the person transporting the elixir had already arrived. When everyone saw Huang Xiaoshi coming back, someone immediately shouted to him: "Master Shi, something happened."
Huang Xiaoshi raised his eyebrows and asked seriously: "What's wrong?"
I heard the report from the leading disciple that when they arrived, at Dashibao, more than 20 miles away from the city, a disciple went to defecate alone, accidentally stepped on the mud, and fell down the cliff.
There were more than ten of them, looking at the bottom of the valley and shouting for a long time but there was no response, so they quickly took the goods to the city to find help.
"What are you talking about? Let's go and save people while it's still light!" Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoshi immediately waved his hand and asked someone to prepare ropes and torches.
"Master Shi." The leader of the disciples pulled Huang Xiaoshi. After stopping Huang Xiaoshi, he said sincerely: "This is not me cursing that brother. You also know that the cliff at Dashibao is hundreds of meters high. He
If he rolled down, let alone his life, his body might not be healed, and he would have died a long time ago if he still had to be rescued."
As soon as the leader of the disciples said this, the other disciples also nodded.
After the team that transported the elixir just came back, they told the other disciples about this matter. In fact, everyone knew that this person would have died 100% if he fell. Now it is just a matter of how to deal with the aftermath.
The disciple who fell off the cliff was from Luoyang, and his family was in the east of the city. He only had a daughter-in-law and two children at home.
Huang Xiaoshi looked at the sky and said to the disciples surrounding him: "Shanzi, Third Brother, Erniu, the three of you will follow me later. We have to take care of that family first.
Everyone else has worked hard. Let's take a good rest today and bring the ropes and climbing tools. We will go to Dashibao early tomorrow morning.
Brother Yong, please go to Keyue Building. If you don’t want anything else, ask them to kill a live sheep and cook it and bring it over. Let’s eat the mutton tonight.”
After this arrangement was made, Huang Xiaoshi took three disciples to the house of the disciple who had fallen off a cliff.
The daughter-in-law and her two children burst into tears after hearing this. She cried until she couldn't see her eyes and had to be led around by others. It really made people sigh.
Early the next morning, the leading disciple gathered more than twenty strong men and went up the mountain with food and tools to look for someone. He didn't return until the fourth day. In the end, he only found one person who had been eaten by wild beasts.
A half-broken body.
With the help of everyone, the funeral affairs of this disciple were finally settled.
Later, Huang Xiaoshi came to the house with his disciples and personally gave the widow a staggering pension, and promised to provide monthly payments until the eldest child reached the age of fourteen.
After this incident, many people felt that it was worth it to sell their lives to Shennong Baicaomen.
Originally porters were despicable, that is to say, only the Shennong Baicaomen still treated them as human beings.
Many times, the life of a porter is not comparable to that of a horse, not even that of a mule, and is only worth the price of a donkey.
As for the Black Wind Village team disappearing without a trace, there were not even rumors in the world.
