Su Ziji's expression was quite cold. The young man just sat on the horse quietly and listened quietly.
The crackling sound of burning came from the torches held by several county soldiers.
Apart from this, there is only the sound of killing in the world.
With his keen senses, he could naturally feel that someone in several nearby houses had secretly peeked out, but they quickly retreated, and they were all quietly dormant at the moment.
Gradually, the screams against the outer wall became weaker, and further away, the killing sounds and screams rang out again.
Although he knew that when these county soldiers entered the house, only one or two people would die inside, but since the owner of Dong's house had a connection with the enemy chief, he should have expected this day.
"The consequences of transporting supplies and smuggling weapons to the enemy chieftains to earn money are not counted on the common people. Thirty thousand Southwest troops were killed or injured. How many families were destroyed?"
"It is far from enough for a whole family to survive. If there is any pretentiousness, it will be the Holy Mother."
Of course, Dong Zhai didn't think so.
"Follow me and fight them out!"
After a while, the sound of horse hooves and several loud shouts suddenly came from the gate. Almost at the next moment, more than a dozen horsemen rushed out from inside.
Not only were the knights wearing light armor that was only found in the army, but the horses were also wearing it. Because their vital points were protected, even though arrows were immediately fired from outside, seven or eight of them were still able to escape.
The seven or eight people broke out from the door. Although they shouted that they would fight, they actually showed no signs of fighting and urged their horses to gallop away into the distance.
With him, he will always have a wife and children, and he will be able to make a comeback and take revenge on the officers and soldiers - or so he thought.
Sun Baihu just watched quietly. Only at this moment did he sneer: "I don't know whether to live or die!"
He kicked the horse in the belly and gave chase, and the five horses followed him.
When other county soldiers saw him, they didn't follow him. They seemed to trust Sun Baihu very much.
In the darkness, small sounds can be heard far away. Su Ziji sat on the horse with his eyes lowered, and soon heard several screams coming from the distance. A gust of wind blew, and the faint smell of blood floated, which was already an omen.
How can a person who can hold a hundred households in the Imperial City be considered an ordinary martial artist?
Sure enough, after a while, Sun Baihu came back on horseback. Not only was his breathing normal, not even a drop of blood was spattered on his body. The anger on his face due to the injuries to his men was also slightly reduced.
It can be seen that the chase just now was probably just a way for him to vent his emotions, and it was just business.
"It seems that the information is pretty good. The Dong family is indeed the weakest among the six cavalry teams."
Sun Baihu smacked his lips with a bit of contentment: "There are only more than thirty young men in Dong's house who are capable of fighting. Is it possible that no one else is here?"
Su Ziji shook his head: "Thirty people is a lot, but they are just one family. Moreover, these horse teams usually do business, and some of the teams that are supposed to deliver goods are not here."
"It's an advantage for them." Sun Baihu sneered and said, "But we won't be able to escape for long. The government will issue an ultimatum and we will not stop until we kill him on the spot or capture him."
Su Ziji glanced at him and saw that this man was probably a little unhappy.
Yes, just to wipe out a small pony team and lose five or six people, this is really annoying.
When the fighting inside was finally over, Sun Baihu asked Su Ziji to follow him into the house.
The pungent smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating when Su Ziji stepped through the door, making him raise his eyebrows slightly.
Walking under the light of torches, I found blood everywhere, almost unavoidable, soaking the ground of the entire courtyard.
And the corpses with their heads separated, or the stumps scattered everywhere, were even more scattered and unattended, exuding a kind of terror in the dim light.
Sun Baihu couldn't help but glance at the young man walking calmly beside him. Seeing such a scene, the young man could not change his expression and walked straight forward. Even the follower only changed his color slightly and then regained his composure. He couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"These two masters and servants are very brave." Sun Baihu thought that the wild Taoist was Su Ziji's servant.
In fact, Lu Fengyun, a wild Taoist, has been in a gang, what has he not seen?
This was not the first time he saw a dead person. Even though there were dead bodies everywhere in Dong's house and the scene was tragic, it didn't make him lose his temper and vomit.
As for Su Ziji, when he had just recovered his past life memories, he had killed the gangsters who destroyed the Su family's ancestral graves, and later fought with monsters. He would not be afraid of such a scene.
Although there is sadness in my heart, it is just a feeling.
Their boots stepped on the pools of blood, and they walked around or over the dead bodies, heading inside.
Along the way, I also saw some surviving maids, servants and female relatives. They were so frightened that they trembled like chaff. Not to mention they ran away. They would kneel down when they saw someone for fear of being accidentally killed.
Before Su Ziji could speak, Sun Baihu said: "Since these people are the servants of the rebels, although they don't deserve to die, they can't just let them go. They are all servants on the left and right. Where can I go to be a servant and not do it?"
This is to turn them into official slaves.
Watching these people kneel down tremblingly, shivering, and when passing by some courtyards, you can even see one or two female family members died tragically, probably because they were victims of the chaos.
Dong Maolin's head was cut off and put into a box, waiting to be returned to serve as the leader of the thieves. Su Ziji looked around Dong's house, sighed softly, and said nothing.
To be honest, I originally felt that I deserved it, but when I saw the maidservant and the female family members shivering without any resistance, I couldn't bear it anymore.
But what can Su Ziji say? They have also enjoyed the wealth brought by smuggling, and now this end is also a labor day - if they had known it would happen, why bother in the first place?
"Sir! The traitor's warehouse has been discovered!" At this time, a county soldier came forward to report.
Sun Baihu paused and looked at Su Ziji.
Su Ziji nodded and said, "Go over and have a look."
When people arrived, the warehouse door was closed, but the lock had long been removed.
"Open the door!" Sun Baihu ordered directly.
The heavy iron door was slowly opened by two soldiers from left to right. As the firelight shone, the scene inside the warehouse was also illuminated clearly.
In addition to some supplies, especially silk, more than a dozen wooden boxes lined up in sequence first caught Su Ziji's attention.
"Open." Su Ziji ordered the soldiers to open one of the wooden boxes.
The box was sealed very tightly, and it took a little force to pry it open. As soon as it was opened, the silver light dazzled people's eyes, making everyone around them gasp.
"They are privately cast ingots, weighing twelve ounces each, but they are of good quality. They are estimated to be ninety-five cents." A guard came forward, inspected them, and took a bite. He was from the Imperial City Department and was an expert in this field.
"Hiss!" Looking at the silver ingots arranged as neatly as dumplings, everyone gasped.
