Su Lei had wanted to take his parents' memorial tablets and leave. But when he arrived home, he realized it was already too late.
It seemed that some of the bandits in the town had already discussed how to deal with them before they returned.
Just as Su Lei had guessed, the bandits in town had begun plotting the moment he left. If Su Lei didn't make a deal, everyone would just watch the show. If he did, they would get a share of the profits. If Su Lei wasn't willing to share, they would kill him and force Wang Ergou to tell them everything he knew.
Wang Ergou was a very spineless person. As long as they scared him a little, he would find out everything.
They could find out from Wang Ergou what the rich man in the grasslands wanted, where the deal was to be made, and the agreed time.
Therefore, this was also the reason why they immediately observed Wang Ergou's location. However, they did not expect Su Lei to be even more ruthless than they had imagined. He actually killed Wang Ergou in advance!
This caught everyone off guard. Therefore, several groups of bandits surrounded the place where Su Lei and the others were staying and did not make a move. They were discussing what to do.
Su Lei definitely had to be killed. If they let him go today, it would be equivalent to releasing a tiger back into the mountains. If such a ruthless person didn't die, they wouldn't be able to sleep well.
The crux of the problem was that they did not want to give up on this business either. They could make a lot of money from the grasslands' trade route!
How could they kill Su Lei and get their hands on his business? That was the most important thing right now.
Su Lei's arrival made everyone in town forget about Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.
In the evening, Ren Xiaosu had already prepared the money and was waiting for the refugees to take the initiative to send food over. But in the end, not a single person came.
"They've even given up on a target with a lot of money. What are these refugees trying to do?" Ren Xiaosu thought, "Something big is probably going to happen in this town. It should have something to do with Su Lei. After all, he's just a bandit, and the exposure of his wealth has made the others tempted. "
"Then are we going to do something about it?" Yang Xiaojin looked like she was waiting for him to decide.
"Of course." Ren Xiaosu grinned and said, "Of course we're going to do something!"
…
As night fell, Su Lei brought Cui Qiang and the other brothers to guard the dirt courtyard of their house. Everyone was not relaxed, and all of them silently held their weapons.
Some of them were of higher status and wielded crude spears, while others wielded iron weapons or bone blades.
The white bone dagger was hung at his waist, adding a tinge of killing intent to the horse bandits in the courtyard.
Su Lei said, "I'm sorry, brothers. It's all because I, Su Lei, insisted on coming back that this happened."
The brothers did not say a word. Su Lei's team might not necessarily be that united. After all, they were bandits and could not be compared to the army's soldiers.
Some people also blamed Su Lei for being a busybody, but no one dared to say anything at the moment.
Cui Qiang sat under a mud wall next to the gate of the courtyard. He wiped the spear in his hand and polished the steel pipe on the wall.
Their guns were single-shot, and they had to reload after each shot. There were too many people outside who were paying attention to them. Cui Qiang was very clear that if they fought to the death, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Someone whispered, "Boss, why don't we just hand over the business? They have a lot of people, and a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. We can still find more business, but we only have one life."
Su Lei was about to say something.
But just as that person finished speaking, Cui Qiang jumped up and jumped in front of him. As he made his move, Cui Qiang had already reached out to pull out a short knife from his waist and stabbed it into the neck of the person who spoke.
Cui Qiang's movements were as fast and powerful as a lynx hunting its prey!
"Cut the crap." Cui Qiang said coldly, "It wasn't easy for Boss to find this business, so how can you just hand it over like that? Listen to Boss's orders later and fight your way out. If you're still alive, you'll have a good life with Boss! A lifetime of glory and wealth! "
The people around him were all stunned. Cui Qiang rarely spoke so much. But when he killed someone right off the bat, the others did not dare to make a sound, afraid that they would be killed by Cui Qiang.
Su Lei sighed inwardly. He had thought he should just hand over the business, but Cui Qiang made his move without even asking him. It was clearly a little inappropriate for him to talk about handing over the business at a time like this.
There was no way out.
But Su Lei also knew very well that he wouldn't be able to live even if he handed over the business.
At this moment, it gradually lit up outside as if it was illuminated by the light of a fire.
Many people lit torches and surrounded Su Lei's courtyard. The leader of a group of bandits said, "Su Lei, I think it's better if you come out and hand over the business to us. We'll all earn money together. When the time comes, we'll have a good life together. Wouldn't it be better for us brothers to be happy together? "
Su Lei scolded jokingly, "Li Mazi, don't pretend to be benevolent here. Do you think I can live just because I hand over the business? I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if I don't die! "
Li Mazi said coldly, "I'll give you a count of ten to come out. Otherwise, we'll set fire to your courtyard. Let's see if you'll come out then!"
Su Lei's heart sank to rock bottom. He knew he probably wouldn't be able to escape this calamity.
But at this moment, a young man's voice suddenly rang out from outside. "Yo, it's so lively in the middle of the night. Everyone's here, and no one's cooking for us. I'm very unhappy about this."
Everyone was stunned. Su Lei turned to look at Cui Qiang. "Whose voice is that?"
"I've never heard of it." Cui Qiang shook his head. They still didn't know that a stranger had come to this town.
Li Mazi looked at Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin and grinned sinisterly. "Young man, don't be a busybody. It's none of your business here."
Someone next to Li Mazi said, "Why don't we just kill those two? I think they're quite rich too. We can use their money as capital to start our business! And that woman … "
Right after that, Ren Xiaosu couldn't be bothered to say anything else.
Su Lei and the others could hear the intense wailing outside from the courtyard. The group of bandits were so scared out of their wits that they had no idea what was happening outside.
The sound of bones breaking and tendons snapping amidst the wailing was too horrifying!
Half an hour later, Ren Xiaosu's voice rang out again from outside. "Alright, they've all been killed. Come out."
Su Lei carefully opened the door to his courtyard and was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu smiling at him with a torch in his hand. Next to the young man was a girl wearing a cap. She looked like she had an extraordinary temperament.
Corpses were lying all over the ground next to the two of them, but there was no trace of blood on them.
"Who … Who are you?" Although Su Lei was a ruthless person, he was only a ruthless person who was still growing up. He hadn't seen much of the world yet.
There were corpses all over the ground, as well as calmly murdering people.
This scene in front of him would probably leave an impression that he would never be able to erase for the rest of his life.
Even if he became a big shot in the future, he would probably still feel awe from the bottom of his heart when he saw Ren Xiaosu again.
