Chapter 111: A good trick to kill with a borrowed knife
Tian Xueni immediately became nervous when she heard the voice, and subconsciously looked at Gu Yuru and her daughter who were playing in the yard.
Li Mumu accidentally kicked the shuttlecock outside and shouted loudly towards the inner room: "Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo, the bandits are coming, hurry up and beat them up!"
The shuttlecock fell at the bandit's feet. He picked it up, looked at it, and threw it away. Then he felt his nose itchy and rubbed it twice.
The leading bandit laughed jokingly, "Madam Nine, it's your good fortune that our boss has taken a liking to you. In Dingyang, our boss is king. It's useless to ask anyone else for help. Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty."
Tian Xueni had seen a group of bandits kill people without blinking an eye, and she was trembling with fear. Gu Yuru gently patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid."
But Tian Xueni didn't know how powerful they were, so how could she not be afraid?
Luo Geng had already dragged his leg out at this time. For some reason, his leg pain was getting worse day by day. He had clearly applied medicine. It didn't hurt when he applied the medicine, but it became excruciatingly painful after a while.
So he applied more medicine, but the pain still persisted.
"Madam Nine, if you don't open the door, we'll use force."
Tian Xueni looked at Luo Geng nervously.
Luo Geng gave her a reassuring look, then signaled his men to open the door, and he stood in the middle of the yard.
The moment the door opened, the bandit saw a number of yamen runners standing in the yard. He was startled at first, then said, "The county magistrate knows that my eldest son is going to marry the ninth wife, so he is here to help?"
The Gu family members looked at each other, having already determined that the bandits were so fearless because they were in collusion with the government. In fact, they had already seen this from the words of the three members of the Tian family.
Luo Geng looked disdainful and said, "Do your mother a favor and take a good look at me. I came from the capital. What Ninth Madam? Go back and tell your boss that this woman is mine."
The bandits looked at him and didn't seem to be lying. Just when Luo Geng thought they would retreat, those people laughed, and were extremely arrogant.
"What's wrong with going to the capital? I don't care whether you are going to the capital or not! In Dingyang County, our eldest brother has the final say."
The man looked at the three members of the Tian family and said, "You don't think that just because you have a few dogs to guard the house, you won't have to follow us, right? Brothers, go!"
Tian Xueni subconsciously moved closer to Gu Yuru.
The Gu family was also on high alert. If they really took force, they would definitely not ignore it.
But at this time Luo Geng was furious. He could not stand being called a dog. "I see who dares to do that. You are rebelling. We are yamen runners. How dare you rob people in front of us? And you even rob my woman!"
The bandit rolled his eyes at him and said, "You dare to snatch a woman from our boss? I think you don't want to live anymore. If you came from the capital, get out of here and go back to your capital. Otherwise..."
Luo Geng straightened his back and patted his yamen uniform. "I'm from the imperial court! How dare you touch me?"
Li Mumu realized that this bandit just wanted people and didn't want to conflict with Luo Geng and others, at least not now.
But with her around, this conflict is bound to happen. Wouldn't her medicine be in vain?
"Uncle Luo, they are bandits and bad guys. Didn't you say you wanted to wipe them out?" Li Mumu's voice was crisp and bright.
Luo Geng saw the bandit's eyes flickering, and he felt proud in his heart that a group of bandits dared to fight against the imperial court. "That's right, go back and tell your boss that this woman is mine."
Suddenly, the leading bandit drew his knife and glared at him murderously.
Luo Geng saw the gleaming knife, which shone with a cold light, and laughed disapprovingly, "What do you want to do? Chop here! Who dares to snatch people from me? Bah, dare to touch me and see..."
The bandit's hands were tightly gripping the knife, and his knuckles were turning white because he was holding it too tightly. It was obvious that he was trying hard to restrain himself.
At this time, Li Mumu poked Tian Xueni's arm, indicating that she should praise Luo Geng.
Tian Xueni understood, and seeing that the bandits were indeed intimidated by the yamen runners, her nervous heart relaxed a little. "Master Luo, you are really great. When the bandits saw you, they were like mice seeing a cat."
Luo Geng laughed out loud, "Of course, follow me, and I guarantee you'll have everything you need. As for the bandits, if I'm happy, I'll ask the imperial court to suppress them, and I'll even get some credit..."
"ah!"
"Murder!"
Luo Geng had just turned around when his neck was slashed. His eyes were wide open, and he didn't have time to look back before he fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, and died with his eyes open.
The Li family was hiding in the woodshed because of fear. Zhao couldn't help but want to take a look out of curiosity. As a result, she saw Luo Geng looking at her with his eyes wide open before he died. She screamed and fainted.
The old couple of the Tian family almost fainted, their mouths wide open but unable to speak.
"Oh, Uncle Luo is dead. We need to report this to the authorities and ask the county magistrate to avenge Uncle Luo."
Although Liuzi didn't know Li Mumu's plan, he was also furious at this time. "Yes, it's fine that you raped a woman, but now you dare to kill the yamen runners. We are going to find the county magistrate. We killed someone in his territory. Let's see if he will do anything about it."
The leading bandit knew that he was too excited just now. He had no intention of killing anyone, but he could not control his emotions. He wiped the blood off his knife and said, "Brothers, no one should be spared. These guys must die."
The yamen runners also picked up their weapons. After all, it was a fight to the death. However, the bandits were all desperate criminals. If they really got ruthless, these yamen runners were no match for them.
There was no way Gu Mingjing could take action.
He alone is enough to deal with this group of bandits.
The bandits fell one by one, and the last one was about to have his neck broken by Gu Mingjing. Li Mumu shouted in time, winking at him, "Third Uncle, be careful."
Gu Mingjing was confused. He clearly had no chance of losing, but Mumu reminded him to be careful?
As smart as he was, he immediately understood what she meant, but suddenly he lost his grip and got his hand cut by the bandit's knife.
Seeing this, the bandits quickly fled out the door.
"Run...run away!" Liuzi shouted, "I'll chase him."
Gu Mingjing looked at Li Mumu. If he had misunderstood, he would have been able to get the person back easily, but Li Mumu gave him a thumbs up.
"Forget it, don't chase the desperate enemy." Gu Mingjing said in a deep voice.
Old Master Gu had been watching from the side and already understood what the little girl was going to do.
Tian Xueni finally found her voice and started crying as she spoke, "What should I do? The bandits won't let me go. He...he's dead too."
"Uncle Liuzi, stop chasing him. Send someone to report to the police! The bandits killed Uncle Luo."
Tian Xueni said at this time, "It's useless. The government and the bandits are in cahoots. If they wanted to intervene, they would have done so long ago."
Li Mumu curled her lips and said firmly, "But this time he has to take care of it."
