Before the curfew, Sun Mo rushed to the Drunken Smoke Inn. He didn't act rashly but entered as a guest to observe.
"Sir, do you have a lady you like?"
A middle-aged woman with makeup immediately came over. This was the boss of the Drunken Smoke Inn, also known as the mother.
Of course, the reason why Sun Mo could receive such preferential treatment was because he was wearing the uniform of a high scholar.
"I heard from my classmates that your inn's Miss Han Yan is extremely skilled with the flute. I specially came to pay a visit!"
The Han Yan Sun Mo was talking about was the top hostess of the Drunken Smoke Inn. Ever since Pang Jili returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, he had occupied Han Yan. Hence, if he wanted to know the location of that bastard, he just had to ask Han Yan.
"Han Yan caught a cold and is bedridden. Sir, why don't you change to someone else?"
The mother smiled and recommended a few people.
"Is she really sick? Or is she receiving someone else? "
Sun Mo stared at the middle-aged woman. "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"Aiyo, this high scholar has misunderstood me. Would I be a fool not to earn money?"
The middle-aged woman felt wronged.
"Han Yan can't be receiving the grandson of that Great Preceptor Pang, right?"
Sun Mo coldly snorted.
If an ordinary rich person asked this, the middle-aged woman would have scolded him. Who the hell do you think you are? But in ancient times, the status of scholars was more respectable, let alone a high scholar.
One must know that famous courtesans in brothels wanted fame, and they couldn't be separated from scholars. A famous poem could make a famous courtesan famous.
"Look over there, Young Master Pang's followers are not here!"
The middle-aged woman pointed to the stage.
The followers naturally didn't have the qualifications to be in the rooms above. Hence, they would usually watch the show on the first floor.
Sun Mo's brows twitched slightly. After that, he sighed. "I'm only interested in Miss Han Yan. Since she is sick, I'll come again another day!"
After saying this, Sun Mo left. The middle-aged woman couldn't persuade him and couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Sun Mo left the Drunken Smoke Inn and headed straight for the Hundred Beauties Inn.
This was a three-story restaurant. Nominally, it belonged to a businessman surnamed Gao, but in fact, it was a secret property of the Pang Family. After Pang Jili came here, he transformed this place into a private garden for his use.
Most of the women that Pang Jili had captured were also imprisoned here.
This was the information that the follower had given him.
Although Sun Mo didn't scout ahead, he wasn't someone with a poor sense of direction. Based on the original owner's memory of this county, he soon found this exquisite wooden building.
In order to avoid being noticed when the Pang Clan was doing bad things, they chose this restaurant to be located in a more remote area. Now, it was convenient for Sun Mo to commit murder and arson.
He climbed to the top of the wall and looked inside.
The light from the butter candles was very bright, and the commotion was very loud. This was especially so when Sun Mo saw an attendant coming out to relieve himself. It just so happened that it was someone who had been following Pang Jili a few days ago. He finally believed that this fellow was in this Hundred Beauties Building.
Sun Mo hid in the shadows. As he waited for night to arrive, he checked his weapons and simulated the process of his actions at night in his mind.
How to kill? How to escape? How to deal with an emergency …
Finally, it was past midnight. The commotion in the Hundred Beauties Building also weakened.
It was said that this place used to be called the Drifting Fragrance Residence. The current name was changed by Pang Jili. This was a place where he could house a hundred beauties.
Sun Mo changed into a set of sackcloth clothes and used a handkerchief to cover half of his face. After that, he carried a longbow on his back and a goose feather blade on his waist. He leaped over the wall and entered the building, sneaking into the first floor.
The attendants and guards were all drunk. Many of them were sprawled on the tables, unconscious. There were also a few who were chatting idly.
"I'm afraid that the young lady we captured seven days ago is going to die tonight. Sigh, wouldn't it be better if she accepted her fate earlier?"
"That's right. After entering the Hundred Beauties Building, there are only two paths for her to leave. Either she becomes the young master's woman, or she becomes a corpse and is carried out!"
"I wonder if we can drink a mouthful of soup tonight!"
Some people were filled with anticipation.
Usually, when Pang Jili was tired of playing with women, he would give them to them. This was also a method to win over his followers.
"If it was in the past, I'd definitely wait anxiously. But ever since I met that Juren Sun's wife, I've lost interest."
"Pui, what qualifications does that Qiongcuo Da have to marry such a beautiful woman? Just because he's good at reading books? "
"Who cares? In any case, in a few days, we'll have the chance to play with his wife!"
At this point, a wretched laughter rang out.
Sun Mo was still hesitating whether he should only kill Pang Jili and let these attendants go. Now that he heard this, he might as well go all out.
"All of you can go to hell!"
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and pushed the door lightly.
Creak!
The door opened.
The attendants took a glance and retracted their gazes. One of the guards felt cold and walked over to close the door. However, just as his right hand touched the door frame, he felt a chill in his chest. After that, intense pain spread throughout his entire body.
Before he could scream, a hand had already covered his mouth.
The attendant's eyes widened and stared in terror at the bandit who dragged him out of the room.
Who was this?
Someone actually dared to kill someone in the young master's residence?
"You have to reincarnate well. In your next life, this daddy will still kill you!"
Sun Mo spoke softly in the attendant's ear and twisted the steel blade forcefully.
The first one!
After Sun Mo killed someone, he knew that the smell of blood would attract attention. Hence, he didn't stop and walked into the room. In less than two seconds, he arrived before the table.
There were a total of 12 people, and there were five who weren't drunk. However, they were already drunk and didn't notice Sun Mo at all.
In fact, Pang Jili had been lawless in this county for two years. Even constables didn't dare to come knocking on his door. This was why they were so relaxed.
Sun Mo didn't say anything and slashed with his blade!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Although Sun Mo's physique had weakened, the cultivation arts and moves that he had learned were still there. Killing a few attendants was like slaughtering chickens and dogs.
With a raise of the blade, heads rolled onto the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One of the attendants stared blankly as a steel blade sliced through Old Miao's neck. A large amount of fresh blood splattered out, splashing onto his face.
It was very hot and humid, and there was also a strong smell of blood.
(Did someone die?)
The attendant instinctively wanted to scream, but at the next instant, his head was split into two. His brain juice and half of his skull slid onto the ground.
Sun Mo didn't even use two minutes to finish these people. After that, he went up the stairs and went up to the second floor.
There was no commotion on the second floor. Sun Mo was worried that if he dragged on for too long, someone would discover the corpses on the first floor. Hence, he went straight up to the third floor.
In his opinion, ordinary officials and nobles would definitely seek pleasure at the highest floor.
As expected, when he went up to the third floor, he was faced with a large hall. There were traces of messy cups and plates everywhere, and a maid was currently cleaning up the mess.
Sun Mo pounced over while she wasn't paying attention, covering her mouth from behind.
"Don't scream, or I will kill you!"
The maid's body immediately stiffened, not daring to move at all.
"Bring me to Pang Jili!"
Sun Mo threatened. "If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you!"
The maid was so frightened that her legs turned soft and she basically couldn't move. There was no solution to it. Sun Mo could only get her to point out Pang Jili's location and then use the handle of his blade to knock her out.
In the second room in the west wing.
Sun Mo stood outside and just when he wanted to knock, he heard a woman's agonizing scream ringing out from inside.
"You're awake? How does it feel? "
Pang Jili smiled evilly and waved his whip, lashing out again.
Pak! Pak!
"I beg you, stop hitting me!"
The woman pleaded.
Sun Mo didn't wait any longer. He pushed the door open and entered.
"Which dog slave dares to disturb this young master's mood?"
Pang Jili cursed and turned his head. In the end, he saw a man wearing hemp clothes and a mask.
"Yo, robbery? Or theft? "
Pang Jili assessed Sun Mo. "However, you seem to have found the wrong place. If you scram now, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I will use your ears to accompany my wine tomorrow!"
"I'm here to seek revenge!"
Sun Mo spoke bluntly.
"Seeking revenge?"
Pang Jili started and then smiled. "I'm sorry, I have too many enemies. I can't think of who you are."
"I'm..."
Before Sun Mo's voice ended, Pang Jili suddenly waved the whip in his hand toward him. "Men..."
Pang Jili had underestimated Sun Mo too much. Before he could even make a sound, a teacup smashed fiercely into his mouth, causing his mouth to be filled with blood and broken teeth. His cry for help was also repelled.
Swoosh!
Sun Mo tossed out his long blade and smashed it into Pang Jili's back. After that, he rushed to Pang Jili's side, pulled out a short blade, and slashed Pang Jili's wrist that was grabbing onto the window.
Ka!
A broken hand fell down.
Pak!
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed Pang Jili's mouth. After that, he pressed Pang Jili against the wall.
"Who are you trying to fool with such a small trick? Also, today is the day you die. You didn't expect this, right? "
Sun Mo's blade pierced into Pang Jili's shoulder and twisted forcefully.
Bang!
The door was smashed open and a middle-aged man wielding a blade rushed in.
His name was Tang Ji, and he was Pang Jili's bodyguard. He was highly skilled in martial arts. When he saw that his master's life was in danger, he immediately let out a loud bellow and pounced over.
"Bandit, die!"
Sun Mo wasn't afraid at all. His short blade quickly slashed across Pang Jili's face, directly slashing the left and right sides of his face. Not only was the wound cut open to his ears, but even his tongue was crippled.
It was impossible for him to call for help.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sun Mo and Tang Ji exchanged blows.
"This bandit is a prickly one. Young Master, leave quickly!"
Tang Ji urged. His countenance was very heavy right now.
This bandit's strength was ordinary, but wasn't his blade technique a little too exquisite?
They had only exchanged blows for a few breaths, but he had already suffered quite a few slashes.
"You are helping a tyrant!"
Sun Mo's gaze was cold. After a series of moves, the short blade slashed across the bodyguard's throat.
Sssii!
Fresh blood spurted out very far, splattering onto Pang Jili's face.
Pang Jili didn't expect his bodyguard to die so quickly. His heart turned cold and he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't say anything.
Sun Mo smiled and kicked the steel blade with the tip of his foot. After catching it with his left hand, he took the opportunity to slash Pang Jili's arm.
After killing Pang Jili, Sun Mo looked at the woman who was curled up in the corner of the bed.
"I'm going to light a fire. If you want to run, hurry up!"
Sun Mo picked up the candle and tossed it onto the screen.
"I wonder what benefactor's name is?"
The woman kowtowed. "This lowly girl will never forget your life-saving grace."
"Swallow Li San!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he left the room and prepared to leave. After giving it some thought, he went to the main hall and brought the maid he had knocked out with him.
If he ignored her, she would definitely be burned to death.
After Sun Mo walked out of a few streets, he heard the sound of the night watchman banging on the wooden clappers. In the direction of the Hundred Beauties Inn, there was a stretch of fire that illuminated the sky red.
After Sun Mo packed his clothes and weapons, he returned home.
"You haven't slept yet?"
Sun Mo was surprised.
"Sir!"
Mother Mei was very gentle and didn't ask where Sun Mo had gone. Seeing that he wasn't injured, she felt at ease. "Do you want to eat something?"
"No need, I'm going to take a bath!"
Sun Mo went to the courtyard and fetched some water from the well.
In the morning, when the sky had just cleared up, Sun Mo and Mother Mei boarded a horse carriage and rushed out of the city.
The guards in charge of the city's defenses were very sloppy. All of them yawned and casually asked Sun Mo a few questions. After learning that they were visiting relatives, they allowed Sun Mo to pass.
Their main source of income was the entrance tax when they entered the city. Hence, they were very lenient toward those who exited the city. Moreover, Sun Mo was a provincial lord.
After exiting the city, Sun Mo was completely at ease.
He had chosen to act late at night. It had only been four hours since then. By the time those people extinguished the fire, found the corpse, identified Pang Jili, and confirmed whether it was a murder or a fire, as well as whether they should seal the city gates and capture the murderer, he would have long since escaped.
In this era, the efficiency of the government was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
This was worthy of celebration!
"Sir!"
Looking at the gradually rising sun, Mother Mei hugged a bag and had a treacherous look on her face.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Sun Mo consoled her, but he was cursing at this bullshit game in his heart.
(Why can't you leave me alone?)
(The more Mother Mei loves me, the more I can't let go of her. Hence, I'll be overcautious when doing things.)
Sun Mo was prepared to become a bandit. His first choice was the Bright Mountain Bandits in the 800 li lake.
He had asked around before. These people were righteous bandits, the kind that robbed the rich to help the poor.
However, Sun Mo didn't really believe it. In this era, how could they be good people if they were bandits?
For example, the Liangshan Bandits. There were good people, but there were also many bad people among them.
Seven days later, Sun Mo arrived at the Bright Mountain Territory.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a simple and crude wine shop.
A few traveling merchants were currently drinking tea and eating. It was inevitable for them to chat a little.
"Have you heard? Grand Preceptor Pang's grandson was killed and his corpse was burned. "
"Bad people like that should have died long ago!"
"The heavens have opened their eyes!"
When the waiter heard the discussions of these people, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder which hero did it?"
"Swallow Li San!"
A merchant replied.
Up until now, the Pang Clan's attention hadn't been placed on Sun Mo yet. The main reason was that Pang Jili had too many enemies, and Sun Mo's wife hadn't been harmed yet. In addition, Sun Mo was a provincial lord with status and identity. It was impossible for him to kill someone.
"Vigilante!"
The waiter praised loudly.
Sun Mo couldn't help but throw a glance at this guy. He then looked at the bun in his hand. (You're just a waiter, but why do you have such a gangster air?)
(Could this be a shady shop?)
After the merchants left, it was already afternoon. Sun Mo was still drinking tea. The chef and waiter in the shop clustered around the lady boss and were pointing at Sun Mo.
"This husband, do you want more tea?"
The lady boss came personally.
