"Sir, please spare my granddaughter. This old woman is willing to serve you …" Before Qin Feng could make a move, Wang Xiumei suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Zhen.
Everyone was taken aback, finding it somewhat funny. That Zhang Zhen had taken a liking to Hua Xiaozhen, so what was this old hag doing here? Who could bear to do that?
Zhang Zhen was so angry that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He pulled out his large saber and was about to hack Wang Xiumei. However, Qin Feng was faster than him and punched Zhang Zhen in the stomach, causing him to retreat three steps before he could stabilize himself.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard. The nine yamen runners surrounded Qin Feng, ready to fight at any moment.
"You unruly commoner, how dare you attack Sir Zhang? I think you're tired of living! "
"Kneel and wait for your execution. Otherwise, we'll tear you to pieces …"
The group of yamen runners spoke ruthlessly, but none of them actually attacked. Qin Feng's punch was so powerful that it made them feel some fear.
Zhang Zhen was also stunned. He even forgot the pain in his body and looked at Qin Feng again. He didn't see any True Qi flow on this person's body. Where did he get his strength from?
"A lowly commoner like you dares to behave atrociously in front of me? Capture him alive and tear him to pieces …"
Zhang Zhen roared, and the nine yamen runners immediately moved. However, a muffled sound came from Qin Feng's body, and a fiery red cylinder was placed on his shoulder.
Everyone was stunned. No one had seen such a thing before. The villagers began to discuss it.
"What is this? Can such a big and round thing be used as a weapon? Don't tell me it's directly placed on someone's head to trap them? "
"This person is dead for sure. How dare he offend the yamen runners? He's just bluffing …"
The yamen runners and Zhang Zhen were all shocked. They even stopped their attacks. Qin Feng ignored their reactions and retreated a few steps. Just as he was about to blow up these ants, Zhou Dafei suddenly ran to Zhang Zhen's side.
"Constable, you can't kill that brat!"
Zhang Zhen's expression turned cold. He roared, "Why can't I kill him? Do I need you to tell me what to do? I think you must be tired of living … "
Zhou Dafei trembled in fear. How could he be so kind as to speak up for Qin Feng? He was just afraid that if the two of them really fought, the innocent would be harmed. If he died, who would he go to to reason with?
"My lord, I … I don't dare. It's just that he has a lot of gold bars and a Ferghana horse. Moreover, the destruction of the Horsehead Gang is closely related to him."
Zhou Dafei lowered his voice and revealed the situation. Zhang Zhen's expression changed. He didn't care that Qin Feng was rich. After all, how much money could a commoner have? However, the destruction of the Horseshoe Gang made him a little worried. How could the Horseshoe Gang be destroyed for no reason? Could it really be that Qiao fellow's doing?
"Speak clearly. What does the destruction of the Horseman Gang have to do with that kid?" Zhang Zhen pretended to be arrogant, but deep down, he was a little uncertain.
Zhou Dafei hurriedly said, "The Horseshoe Gang had their eyes on Hua Xiaozhen. Yesterday afternoon, they came to capture her and that Qiao fellow went with them. Then, the two of them came back at night and disappeared with the Horseshoe Gang. This is very strange …"
Zhou Dafei explained the situation, and Zhang Zhen became even more nervous. He had led the yamen's bailiffs to attack the Horseshoe Gang's mountain more than ten times, but they were unable to destroy the mountain bandits. That Qiao fellow went to the Horseshoe Gang and disappeared? This was indeed very strange …
The nine bailiffs were still glaring at Qin Feng. Hua Xiaozhen cried and hugged Qin Feng's arm tightly. The villagers were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The atmosphere was deadlocked.
"Put away your weapons and follow me!"
After a while, Zhang Zhen suddenly sheathed his sword and left with Zhou Dafei with a cold expression.
The nine bailiffs heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left with Zhang Zhen.
After everyone left, the villagers all heaved a long sigh of relief. Some of the more cowardly people sat on the ground and wet their pants.
Wang Xiumei was also quite frightened. She hurriedly ran to Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen and urged them to run for their lives.
"Young Master Qiao, w-let's leave this place …" Hua Xiaozhen was also afraid. Compared to the ruthless mountain bandits, the yamen's people were more terrifying.
Qin Feng didn't want to leave. He could ignore the lives of the other people in Hua Village, but he couldn't ignore Wang Xiumei's life. The bailiffs were all fierce and overbearing. How were they any different from the Horseshoe Gang's mountain bandits? Qin Feng believed that if he left with Hua Xiaozhen, Zhang Zhen would definitely kill Wang Xiumei to vent his anger.
However, Qin Feng didn't mention these concerns. Hua Xiaozhen and Wang Xiumei didn't know about it. Seeing that Qin Feng didn't want to leave, they felt helpless.
Zhang Zhen and his subordinates had already arrived at Zhou Dafei's house. The Zhou father and son took out the best wine and dishes from the family's collection …
"Big Brother Zhang, are you really going to let that brat go so easily? That brat is too arrogant! "
Everyone sat around the square table in the yard. The bailiffs were all suppressing their anger. As bailiffs of West Town, they had never been talked back to by a villager.
Zhang Zhen was even angrier. He slammed the table and shouted, "Hmph! How can we let that brat go so easily? Let's wait for Little Five and Little Six's news and see if the Horseshoe Gang has really been destroyed … "
The bailiffs discussed, but they still didn't believe that the Horseshoe Gang had been destroyed. Zhou Dafei just happened to come up with a bottle of wine. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Sirs, I can guarantee with my head that the Horseshoe Gang has really disappeared!"
Everyone was stunned again. Could it be that the Horseshoe Gang had really been destroyed? This matter was simply too inconceivable.
Zhou Dafei knew that these bailiffs wouldn't believe it for now because he didn't dare believe it when he heard it from his father. He personally went to look for it and confirmed the truth.
"Brat, tell me in detail. How was the Horseshoe Gang destroyed?" Zhang Zhen asked coldly.
Zhou Dafei kept a fawning smile on his face. He realized that his chance to make a fortune had come. As long as he treated these officials well, he could use their connections to get some good jobs.
"Lord Zhang, no one knows how the Horseshoe Gang was destroyed. It seems that it suddenly disappeared from this area in the afternoon. However, I'm sure that the disappearance of the Horseshoe Gang has a lot to do with Qiao. That's because the second leader of the Horseshoe Gang took Qiao and Hua Xiaozhen back. After that, the Horseshoe Gang disappeared …"
Zhou Dafei told them everything he knew without missing a single word. Zhang Zhen and the others listened with bewildered expressions, as if they were listening to a fairy tale.
Zhou Dafei didn't care how the Horseshoe Gang disappeared. He was more concerned about what would happen next. He continued, "Lord Zhang, the Horseshoe Gang is really gone. Now you should consider claiming credit and getting rewards …"
Zhang Zhen's eyes lit up. The bailiffs slapped their thighs and yelled, "That's right, Big Brother Zhang. Now that the Horseshoe Gang has been destroyed, we've earned a lot!"
"These bandits have lived in the West Town area for three to four years. The county magistrate has always withstood the pressure from the prefectural magistrate. Now that the Horseshoe Gang has been destroyed, the West Town Bailiff's Office has made a great contribution!"
"That's not right. We didn't destroy the Horseshoe Gang. Even if there's a merit, it's most likely that it's that bullsh * t Young Master Qiao …"
The crowd continued to discuss. The light in Zhang Zhen's eyes became brighter. How could he give such a great merit to Qin Feng? At most, he would find a chance to kill that brat and take the merit.
"All of you, shut up!" Zhang Zhen suddenly roared, causing the crowd to quieten down. He continued, "This time, I led you to the Hua Village to destroy the bandits. With everyone's heroic efforts, the bandits were all eliminated, and the hilltop was destroyed by us. When we return tomorrow, we will report this to the county magistrate. Do you all understand?"
Zhang Zhen's words woke everyone up. These bailiffs were all smart people and immediately nodded to show that they understood.
At this time, Zhou Dafei came over with a smile, "Sir Zhang, y-you see …"
Zhang Zhen understood Zhou Dafei's meaning and impatiently interrupted him, "This time, you were the one who tipped us off to eliminate the bandits. When the time comes, I will mention you to the county magistrate."
Zhou Dafei was so happy that he almost cried out. Zhou Hai admired his son's wit. He hurriedly ran back to the house and sliced the last kilogram of beef he had hidden.
Everyone discussed the plan and felt very happy. Then, Zhou Dafei brought up another important matter.
"Sir Zhang, what do you plan to do with that Qiao guy?"
Zhang Zhen's smiling expression immediately became cold. He slammed the table and roared, "That brat dares to oppose me. Just wait until we leave the village and hack him to death …"
Zhou Dafei hated Qin Feng very much. He also wanted Qin Feng to be hacked to death, but now was not the time to kill Qin Feng. "Sir Zhang, that brat must be killed. However, before we kill him, we need to get his money."
Zhou Dafei had previously mentioned that Qin Feng was very rich, but Zhang Zhen and the others did not take it to heart.
As people from the yamen, they had many ways to earn money. They were not lacking in money.
"What's a bit of money? Do you think I'm a beggar?" Zhang Zhen's expression became cold and somewhat unhappy.
Zhou Dafei broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "Sir, please don't be angry. I wouldn't dare to think of you like that. However, that Qiao guy is really rich. He casually took out a dozen gold bars …"
Yesterday, when the second-in-command of the Horseshoe Gang came to capture Qin Feng, the villagers saw Qin Feng take out a dozen gold bars. It was no longer a secret.
"Tsk, it's just a dozen gold bars …" Zhang Zhen's face was full of disdain. However, halfway through his sentence, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. "Damn! What did you say? A dozen gold bars? Are you sure it's not a dozen copper coins? "
Zhou Dafei was speechless. Why would I tell you about a dozen copper coins? However, he did not dare to complain. He put on a smile and said, "Sir Zhang, it really is a dozen gold bars. Although I fainted at the time and did not see it, the entire Hua Village saw it. Moreover, the second-in-command of the Horseshoe Gang also checked the authenticity of the gold bars in front of everyone. They are definitely real gold …"
