Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaohu was enraged: "My lord, I will kill him. Only by killing him can I quell the hatred in my heart."

Luo Xiaohu held his lance to Cao Jie's neck. With just a command from Jiang Tian, ​​a gentle thrust of Luo Xiaohu's lance would be enough to kill Cao Jie.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Tian roared, "Killing him like this isn't my style. I can't let them get away with it so easily."

These bastards came to my yard to kill and set fires. First, I took them to parade through the streets of more than a dozen nearby villages.

Tell me all their crimes.

"promise……"

The informants quickly smiled obsequiously at Jiang Tian: "Jiang Tian, ​​all of this was planned by Cao Jie, Wu Zhiguo and a few others."

We were unaware of this.

Let them parade through the streets if they want, kill them if they want.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian kicked them, sending the informants sprawling on their backs.

"You bunch of bastards, if I hadn't caught you, would you have confessed about Cao Jie and the others?"

It's too late to confess now.

Your fate will be the same as theirs.

First, they were dragged out and paraded through the streets for five days, then they were executed by slow slicing.

Upon hearing this, everyone's vision went black.

Cao Jie kept begging for mercy.

"Brother Jiang Tian, ​​I was blinded by greed, so just ignore me like a fart."

"Brother, I have elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and a wife who is over 60 years old. If you were to torture me to death, what would become of my family?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them. I've already admitted my mistake, please forgive me?"

The others also begged for mercy.

Being dragged out and paraded through the streets is never a good thing.

If he were to be subjected to the death by a thousand cuts again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Tian frowned after hearing this: "If you have an elderly mother at home, please let me know."

Just as Jiang Tian had expected, these dozen or so people all said they had parents in their eighties or nineties, children in their seventies or eighties, and wives in their forties.

"Brother Jiang Tian, ​​please forgive us this time. We will never dare to do it again. On behalf of my family, I thank you."

"If you spare me, all our belongings are yours, and we still have several hundred taels of silver."

“My father used to be a shaman, and he made a lot of money. All of that money was kept in our family’s money box. There were more than 600 taels of silver in it.”

These people kept begging for mercy.

"If I kill you, all the money in your family will be mine. So why should I keep you alive?" Jiang Tian retorted directly.

These people were immediately rendered speechless by the question.

"Brother, please have mercy on us. We have elderly parents who are 80 years old."

Jiang Tian nodded: "I admire those who respect the elderly and care for the young the most. Since you have elderly parents and children to raise."

"I couldn't bring myself to kill you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

They believed that Jiang Tian would really spare them.

“Brother Jiang Tian, ​​if you spare me, my whole family will thank you.”

“Every year when we burn incense, one stick of incense is for you.”

Jiang Tian cleared his throat: "I don't want you to be unable to reunite with your families. I'm the kind of person who likes to go to extremes when doing things."

"Guards! Execute their entire family! Parade them through the streets! Five days later, execute them by slow slicing!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

They thought they would be allowed to go back and reunite with their families today.

To their utter surprise, Jiang Tian used this method to reunite them with their families.

"Jiang Tian, ​​you can't treat us like this."

"I beg you..."

In this chaotic world, human life is worthless.

If these bastards can be forgiven for rushing into my yard to kill people, then they will become increasingly arrogant and demanding.

"Alright, drag them all out. I need some peace and quiet. And drag all these corpses out too."

After cursing his bad luck, Jiang Tian swaggered back into his house.

Luo Xiaohu and his men quickly dragged all of the dozen or so people out.

All the corpses in the yard were also dragged out.

Luo Xiaohu then had more than a dozen people wash Jiang Tian's courtyard thoroughly clean.

Even so, there was still a strong smell of blood in the courtyard.

Half an hour later, after finishing all the tasks, it was already past the time.

"Gentlemen, our lord was ambushed tonight. As the saying goes, 'When the lord is in distress, the minister is disgraced; when the lord is disgraced, the minister dies.'" Luo Xiaohu glanced at everyone. "According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, if we fail to protect our lord tonight, we should all be executed."

"Our lord spared our lives despite past grievances, and we are determined to protect him with our lives."

"Yes..." Luo Xiaohu and his more than 50 men were loyal to Jiang Tian.

These people all knew that if it weren't for Jiang Tian, ​​they would have starved to death in the county town long ago.

Now, following Jiang Tian, ​​they all look imposing and majestic.

No more worrying about going hungry.

Jiang Tian is their reborn parents, their re-created parents.

“Even if we don’t eat or sleep, we must protect our lord’s safety. Starting today, we fifty people will be divided into three groups.”

Each group will protect their lord for four hours.

"promise……"

Jiang Tian returned to the house, where the twin sisters Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er were trembling with fear.

"It's all in the past now. No one can hurt me anymore. You can all rest assured." Looking at the twin sisters, they trembled like frightened birds.

Jiang Tian held the two girls tightly in his arms, comforting them.

After a long time, the two little girls slowly raised their heads.

“We are not worth dying for anyway, Dalang, we are worried about you.” Li Xue’er’s nose tingled with emotion.

Li Feier reached out and touched Jiang Tian's face: "Big Brother, we've all died once. Every extra day we live is a bonus."

"If all those thieves had rushed into the house today, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Jiang Tian grabbed the two girls' hands and placed them on his chest: "The person in this world who can kill me has not yet been born, so you can rest assured."

…………

Erlongshan Heilongzhai.

In front of the leader's flying centipede were more than a dozen empty wine jars.

The man picked up the wine jars and shook them vigorously, but they were all empty, without a single drop of wine.

"That dark-faced man down the mountain is really something; he actually blocked our way down. How am I supposed to live without wine?"

Flying Centipede glanced at the Third Master: "Third Master, why don't you go down the mountain and spar with that burly man?"

The third leader shook his head: "Big Boss, you and the second leader are much more skilled than me. Neither of you are his match, so how could I be his match?"
