The Great Yan Emperor passed away, and the princes, vying for the throne, attacked each other. Coupled with a severe drought and a locust plague, refugees were rampant.
To escape the famine a...
The appearance of the government troops made the clan leader and his people feel relieved, as their lives were saved.
General Ren glanced at Xiao Hei and was stunned for a moment. This cow looked really strong, and its eyes were blood red, which looked a bit creepy.
I am a soldier and I also have a murderous aura, but why do I feel that the murderous aura of this cow is even stronger than his?
Isn't this a joke? What is a cow? Cows are livestock, used to pull carts and plow fields. Cows eat grass. How could they have such murderous intent? Strange! Weird!
"Moo!" Xiao Hei looked at General Ren with his big eyes, meaning, what are you looking at?
General Ren avoided my gaze, but he actually avoided it?
He quickly turned around, looked at Lin Feng and Han Shan, pointed at the corpses and asked, "You killed them, do you admit it?"
"Xiao Hei and I killed the man. My little brother didn't do it." Han Shan took the responsibility with a carefree look.
"Moo!" Xiao Hei also followed the cow's cry. That's right, it was your Grandpa Cow who killed it, so what!
Lin Feng was somewhat touched. Han Shan was a man of loyalty and righteousness, a man worth making friends with. He then said, "I am the mastermind, and they all have to listen to me."
General Ren looked at the two men and felt a little surprised. This combination was a bit weird.
"Is there any reason for killing them?" General Ren asked coldly.
Lin Feng took a few steps forward and clasped his fists, saying, "General, there is indeed a reason, but this matter involves people from your army. I wonder if you can handle it fairly?"
"Oh? It involves my people? Then tell me!" General Ren waved his hand to signal Lin Feng to speak.
Next, Lin Feng started talking about the previous gambling battle, and then talked about their breach of trust, and the patrol captain's greed for money, and even talked about the profit from the previous gambling battle.
The patrol captain stared at Lin Feng fiercely and kept winking at him, trying to make him shut up, but Lin Feng ignored him and continued to tell him all about his previous ugly deeds.
The warriors came next. Lin Feng said, "General, these people want to kill us. We are acting in self-defense."
After listening to Lin Feng's story, General Ren glanced at the patrol captain who was still kneeling on the ground and asked, "Is what he said true?"
"That's nonsense, General. He is slandering me. You can't believe his slander!" After saying that, the patrol captain kowtowed to the ground.
Lin Feng sneered and said, "Slander? General, you can send someone to search his residence. He took 40% of our money. As an arbitrator, he acted a bit mean-spirited."
General Ren did not express his opinion, but called several of his men and ordered, "Go search!"
The subordinates took the order and went.
General Ren stopped talking, and naturally, no one else spoke either. The scene fell into dead silence. More and more people gathered to watch. They were stopped outside by the general's men, and everyone had to stand on tiptoe to watch the fun.
"Hey! What did you see?" A shorter man asked a tall man next to him.
"It's still the same cow, and there are quite a few dead people." The tall man said in a muffled voice.
"Bull? That fierce bull?"
"Hey! I was lucky enough to see it just now. Tsk tsk! It was so tragic! In the blink of an eye, they were dead everywhere."
One person said with some gloating.
"It seems this matter has become a big deal."
The onlookers were talking about it in a flurry, mostly talking about Xiao Hei's brutality and Han Shan's methods.
As he waited for the searchers to return, the patrol captain's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His money was in the wooden box under the bed, and it had been found in one search. How was he going to explain the origins of the money later? Damn it, he should have known better than to be so greedy!
After being threatened by Lin Feng, he originally wanted to do something bad and reap the benefits, but he never expected that he would become a small fish in the bird's mouth, and he would definitely be the first to be in trouble.
"Report! General, we have found the money." The returning government troops also brought a wooden box, and when they opened it, it was full of money.
General Ren waved his hand and said, "Take him away and lock him up. We'll try him later."
The patrol captain collapsed to the ground. General Ren's reputation was known throughout the army. He was cold-blooded and warmongering. Killing a few illegal soldiers was as easy as eating a meal for him.
"General, spare my life!"
The patrol captain's knife was removed and his hands were tied behind his back. No matter how he begged, General Ren remained unmoved, and there was even some disgust in his eyes.
The patrol leader was taken away, and General Ren asked Lin Feng, "Is this fair?"
Lin Feng smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "General, you are wise."
"Well, let's talk about your punishment next!" said General Ren.
Punishment? Isn't it obvious? Lin Feng was puzzled.
"King Qi was known for his kindness and strict laws. We, his subjects, cannot tarnish his reputation. The patrol captain is guilty and must be punished. However, you started the fight with a bet, which was wrong from the beginning. This is my jurisdiction, and you must abide by the rules. No bloodshed will be tolerated here."
General Ren continued, "Considering that you were acting in self-defense, and that the law is based on reason, you can be exempted from responsibility. However, we cannot allow you to enter Prince Qi's fiefdom. Such a dangerous individual with such a murderous aura cannot be allowed to stay in Prince Qi's fiefdom. Leave now!"
Expel? Lin Feng was furious when he heard this. What a contradiction! Since we were found not guilty, why expel us? Just because we dared to draw the sword? Whose reason was this?
"General, we are innocent and have done nothing wrong. I don't think it's our fault to defend ourselves. If they hadn't come to kill us or harass us, how could we have fought back? This matter is not something we can control. Your logic doesn't make sense!"
"Don't you understand? You have to accept it, because at Jingmen Pass, I have the final say. I have said you are dangerous, so you are dangerous. I have the duty to guard the pass, and I also have the right to refuse you entry."
He didn't care about the difficulties Lin Feng and others had gone through along the way. Lin Feng felt that this bastard deserved a beating.
"Power, it's such a good thing!" Lin Feng said to himself.
Han Shan laughed heartily. "General, do you know why the troops in Prince Yu's fiefdom are stronger than yours?"
General Ren looked at Han Shan, waiting for his next words.
Han Shan said, "Because under his rule, everyone can carry a sword. When faced with injustice, they can act according to their conscience without having to bear the consequences. That's why they're so tough. You guys, though! Tsk tsk! In my opinion, you're like a group of sheep in a pen, eating grass every day. A red wolf would scare you away."
