Chapter 329: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Didn’t Zhou Yunhai take Ali and the others away from Nanchuan?
What is the situation now?
Not only Zhou Yunshu saw Ali, who was pregnant and looked panicked in the crowd, but Wu Gui also saw it.
She frowned and looked at Ali at the city gate, not knowing what she was thinking.
"They're not your women or your offspring, but they are the women of your wealthy families in the city, the offspring of the rich! Are you sure they don't want them either?"
The people at the city gate were still arrogant, as if they didn't believe that Geng Jiang would really ignore the lives of these people.
Geng Jiang was hurt by the anger, so he sat down on the chair, patted the subordinates beside him, and asked them to talk to the people at the city gate.
"Have you forgotten what we do? We are just bandits who robbed Nanchuan City. Why should we care about their lives?"
"It doesn't matter, just open the city gate!" people outside the city gate shouted.
"Did your mother forget to give you a brain when she gave birth to you? You don't care why we open the door! We won't open it! If you have the guts, come jump up!"
"Jump down!"
"Jump up!"
Geng Jiang suddenly felt depressed when he saw his subordinates shouting. Is this how you shout?
Seeing that the argument was about to end, Zhou Yunshu said to the subordinate, "Ask whose family member this is?"
The subordinate glanced at Geng Jiang, and after seeing him nod, he shouted to the people outside the city gate, "Tell me, which wealthy woman or child is this? Maybe if we're kind enough, we can help you shout a few words."
Before the bandits could say anything, the pregnant woman cried out to Geng Jiang's subordinates who had just shown their heads, "We are from the Nanchuan Hong family, and Hong Wenyuan is the patriarch!"
"Please inform the lord. Once you do, the Hong family will definitely offer a valuable gift!"
The subordinate looked at the crying woman below, then turned his head to glance at Geng Jiang and Zhou Yunshu who was sitting next to him.
"Boss, what's going on now?"
The subordinate asked Geng Jiang, and Geng Jiang looked at Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu tapped the chair with her right hand and said after a moment of silence, "Bring Hong Wenyuan here."
She wanted to make an example of someone.
When Geng Jiang sent someone to find Hong Wenyuan, Zhou Yunshu said, "Tell them that no matter whether it's the Red Family or the Green Family, the city gates will not be opened."
Even though her second brother's current wife was at the city gate, Zhou Yunshu had no intention of saving her.
Opening the city gate is like inviting a wolf into the house. It is not worth her taking the risk for one person or a few people.
When Geng Jiang's subordinates told the people in the city what Zhou Yunshu had said, the women and children in the city looked as pale as death.
"We are the people of Nanchuan City. Why won't you let us in?"
"I am the young master of the Hong family, open the door for me!"
"Are you forcing us to die by not opening the city gate? Open the city gate!"
Geng Jiang's subordinates looked on indifferently as the people at the city gate cried and made a scene. As the bandits guarding them forced the women and children to take up their weapons and attack the city gate, Geng Jiang coldly shouted to his subordinates, "Throw stones."
"I am guarding the city gate, no one can break through!"
When the bandits guarding the city gate whipped the group of women and children as they attacked the city gate, the people on the city wall threw stones down when they approached.
The people below were always alert. When the stones fell from the city wall, they didn't care whether the bandits and guards behind them were still waving whips. They just took their weapons and pulled the chains under their feet to flee in all directions. They didn't want to be killed by the stones.
How to say it, Wu Gui looked at the scene in front of him, and remembered the story his father told him when he was a child about defending the city. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that this group of people had not yet become powerful.
Hong Wenyuan was escorted here by Geng Jiang's men when the people outside the city gate were in disarray.
He looked at his old mother lying on the ground, his injured children and grandchildren, and his daughters-in-law who kept begging him for help, and clung to the pillars of the city wall tightly.
"Mr. Li, what exactly do you want Hong to do?"
Hong Wenyuan knelt in front of Zhou Yunshu in despair and collapse.
How could things develop to this point? He originally thought that he had chosen the right person and taken the right path this time, but how could he end up like this?
Zhou Yunshu said to Hong Wenyuan gently, "Boss Hong, you're joking. I never wanted you to do anything. It was always those so-called Emperor's Army who told you to do what you wanted. You let Huang and the four generals drive you around. I just wanted you to see clearly what happens when you work for them."
Hong Wenyuan curled his fingers and knelt upright in front of Zhou Yunshu. "So what should I do to save my family?"
"As long as my family can be saved, I, Hong Wenyuan, am willing to be commanded by Master Li."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "It seems you still don't understand what I said. Once you do something, there's no turning back."
"Master Geng, what do you think?"
Geng Jiang waited for Hong Wenyuan and said, "The only reason I haven't killed you yet is because of the good deeds of your ancestors. And you still want me to save them! What? When you ran away, why didn't you think you would end up like this?"
When Geng Jiang said this, the servant beside Kang Jingyu brought Boss Liu and others to the city wall. After a while, they guessed what had happened from the few words of several people.
Boss Liu's eyes, filled with anger, were tinged with a hint of gloating. He looked at Hong Wenyuan and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. This is what happens when you collude with bandits!"
"You deserve it! Who told you to collude with these vicious criminals to capture Nanchuan City? This is your retribution!"
Hong Wenyuan looked at Zhou Yunshu with despair on his face, "You asked me to come here just to watch my old mother and my children and grandchildren die in front of me?"
"Is your heart so vicious?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Hong Wenyuan and said, "You made a mistake. If they died, it was your fault."
"After all, you were the one who personally sent your family to those ruthless bandits. Didn't you imagine that this would be the outcome when you sent your family there?"
Hong Wenyuan lowered his eyes. He had thought about it, but what he thought was that after Ren Huang and his group killed all the people in Nanchuan and looted Nanchuan's wealth, they would let him and his family go.
But his luck did not succeed. Who could have thought that someone like Li Qillang would suddenly appear.
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the people at the city gate started shouting again.
"I'll give you one more chance. Open the city gate or not!" The bandit with a whip shouted at the people on the city wall, "If you don't open the gate, I will let these people die at the gate of your Nanchuan city!"
The subordinate looked down at the people outside the city gate and shouted, "Whatever you want!"
"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Stop talking nonsense!"
"That's right. Once they leave Nanchuan City, they are no longer our people. We don't care whether they live or die!"
On the city wall were not only Geng Jiang's subordinates, but also the young and strong people from Nanchuan City who came to help.
Hong Wenyuan doesn't want his family to die, but do they want it too?
Even if they risked their lives, they would never let this group of ruthless bandits break into Nanchuan City!
