Volume 1, Chapter 42: Kill One Person Every Ten Steps
Mei Xian's head was buzzing. This bastard actually asked his mother to come and drink with these rude soldiers.
This is simply a humiliation to him.
What's the difference between this and cursing 'that person's mother'?
"asshole!"
"I fuck you..."
Mei Xian's face was ferocious. Ever since his father became the head of the county here, who within his father's jurisdiction dared to speak to him like this?
Bai Qi's face turned cold, and before Mei Xian could finish his words, he slapped him hard.
“Bang!”
Several of Mei Xian's teeth were knocked out and her face was shaking with pain.
He was filled with grief and indignation. If eyes could kill, Bai Qi would have been cut into pieces by now.
“Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you!”
"When you bully others, that's how those poor people at the bottom feel!"
"Soldiers are fighting for their country, yet you dare to touch their families. Die!"
Bai Qi directly drew the sword from his waist, with murderous intent boiling in his heart.
“Wait!”
At this time, Meng Feiyu shouted anxiously, "He is the son of the county lord, he can't be killed!"
He took a step forward and grabbed Bai Qi's arm tightly.
"roll!"
Bai Qi swung his hand with great force, knocking Meng Feiyu away and causing him to fall onto the banquet table. The soup and oil stains were all over him.
When the woman in gorgeous clothes saw Bai Qi subdue Meng Feiyu so easily, a burning flame of love for Bai Qi ignited in her heart.
This should be the boy who can conquer her.
The village elders and headmen all came up to try to persuade Bai Qi not to kill anyone.
Mei Xian was overjoyed to see so many people fearing his power.
He shouted at Bai Qi: "Haha, do you dare to kill me? You don't dare! If you kill me, your relatives, elders and fellow villagers will all suffer with you!"
He had already thought about how to take revenge on Bai Qi, Miao'er, and everyone here!
"Yeah?"
Bai Qi glanced at the idiot indifferently, then at Meng Feiyu's unwillingness, at the shock of the woman in gorgeous clothes, and at the desperate eyes of the elders and villagers.
Without hesitation, he thrust the sword inch by inch into Mei Xian's chest.
Every time the cold sword penetrated a little deeper, a trickle of blood spurted out of Mei Xian's mouth.
Endless regret filled Mei Xian's heart, and severe pain spread throughout her body.
He was unwilling and horrified.
Finally, he died in agony, with his eyes open!
"Bang!"
The cold corpse was thrown to the ground by Bai Qi like a torn sack.
The whole place was in dead silence!
Meng Feiyu widened his eyes, unable to believe that Bai Qi would dare to kill someone.
The elders' faces changed drastically, as if a disaster was about to happen.
The woman in gorgeous clothes had a burning gaze and became more and more interested in Bai Qi.
Miao'er pursed her red lips and tightly grasped Bai Qi's arm, muttering, "Brother Bai Qi, it's Miao's fault. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"It's okay, he's just a scum, just kill him, there's no trouble."
Bai Qi stroked the girl's hair gently and dotingly.
"Hahaha..."
At this time, a cold laugh came, and Meng Feiyu pointed at Bai Qi and said, "Kill him if you want. You said it was easy, but you killed the son of the county master."
"When the county magistrate takes revenge, all the elders and villagers of Heifenggou will be buried with him!"
"You are the sinner of the whole village!"
Meng Feiyu's words made Miao'er's face change drastically.
Bai Qi's eyes turned cold, and he turned around and slapped Meng Feiyu without hesitation.
“Bang!”
Meng Feiyu was slapped and flew away, falling heavily to the ground.
"Rubbish!"
Bai Qi said angrily: "You are the captain of a thousand men, and you saw someone bullying the families of soldiers, but you turned a blind eye to it. How dare you yell at me here?"
Meng Feiyu didn't dare to fight back, and said angrily: "You attacked because Mei Xian wanted to bully your fiancée, right?"
Bai Qi laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "I won't be as timid as you are. If Mei Xian touches anyone today, I won't let him go!"
"Including your woman!"
"I want everyone to know that the families of soldiers who fought for their country must not be insulted!"
Bai Qi's voice was sonorous and powerful, which made the woman in gorgeous clothes feel warm in her heart. This was the fearless young man in her mind!
"Well said!"
The young people in Heifenggou were all excited.
Who would like to be bullied when they are young?
Who hasn't dreamed of traveling the world with a sword when he was young?
Who doesn't want to put an end to all injustice in the world when they are young?
"Why!"
Only the older elders of the tribe could imagine how dangerous this place is.
Once, someone from the neighboring village offended a constable from the county government. As a result, all the houses in the village were burned down by bandits overnight.
In the end, 90% of the young and old in the village died of starvation and freezing.
Meng Feiyu grinned and said, "Bai Qi, if you have the guts, don't run away and don't bring trouble to your fellow villagers. If you have the guts, just wait for the Mei County Magistrate to come!"
"Okay! I'll stay here and see what he can do."
Bai Qi pulled Miao'er to sit down, then took out a silver ingot and bowed to the elders, saying, "Please ask the elders to help prepare some wine and food. Today, everyone will not leave until they are drunk!"
Meng Feiyu was so angry that his nose was crooked, but Bai Qi simply ignored him.
.........
Three hours later.
While Meng Feiyu was anxiously waiting and the elders were restless, the magistrate of Mei County finally arrived.
Behind him, he brought more than thirty bailiffs and constables from the entire county.
Not only that, but hundreds of soldiers stationed in the county government were also mobilized.
"Son!"
When the magistrate of Mei County saw his son's body, he burst into tears.
Then, he pointed at Bai Qi angrily and said, "Come here, capture him!"
"Who dares?"
Da Zhuang pointed his spear in anger, "If you want to touch my general, you must step over my dead body!"
Erniu, Heiwa and several others also drew their swords, looking murderous.
"You dare to resist arrest?"
Mei County Magistrate did not expect these people to be so bold. "Come here, arrest them all. Anyone who dares to stop us will be punished like Bai Qi!"
Thirty constables drew their swords, and a hundred soldiers bent their bows and drew their arrows.
The villagers of Heifenggou were so scared that they kept avoiding it.
Meng Feiyu felt relieved. Bai Qi was doomed.
But at this moment, Bai Qi was still picking up vegetables for Miao'er with his chopsticks, without even turning his head.
He just said calmly: "Mei County Magistrate, you want to arrest people without asking any questions. Is this how you act as a county magistrate? I'll give you a quarter of an hour to figure out the situation before you speak!"
The village head gritted his teeth and defended Bai Qi: "Your Excellency, your son was indeed at fault in this matter. We can all testify to this!"
The Mei County Magistrate raised his hand and slapped him, angrily saying: "I am the county lord here. If I say whoever is wrong, then that person is wrong!"
Miao'er, the head of the village, and the elders and villagers of Heifenggou all had red faces with anger. These powerful people were bullying them so wantonly.
And they still have to keep smiling.
This is the sadness of being at the bottom of society.
Bai Qi's smile faded, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent. He turned around and said, "Mei County Magistrate, if you say so, it seems like you'll end your life here!"
Meng Feiyu, the woman in gorgeous clothes, was shocked. Could it be that Bai Qi was going to fight the county lord like this?
There are more than a hundred people on the opposite side, but he only has six!
Mei County Magistrate's face was full of ferocity: "Okay, okay, I'll see how you can make me give up my life here!"
"Come here, capture Bai Qi for me. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The less Bai Qi cooperated, the less trouble he would have in killing people.
The hundred soldiers had their bows drawn to the limit, waiting for Bai Qi to make any move so that they could shoot him into a sieve.
However, at this moment, a shrill voice rang out: "Stop! The emperor's order has arrived!"
Everyone looked back and saw another group of people coming on the road, led by a eunuch.
"Quick, quick, put down your weapons and welcome the Emperor's envoy!"
When the magistrate of Mei County heard that it was an imperial decree, he immediately suppressed his murderous aura like a loyal dog, put on the most cordial smile on his face, and went to greet the enemy with his advisor and others.
Before the man even approached the eunuch, he immediately knelt on the ground, his appearance of servility was even more excessive than that of Song Jiang.
The eunuch simply ignored him. He was just a small seventh-rank county magistrate, not even as good as a dog in the palace. He arrogantly walked past County Magistrate Mei.
Then he walked up to the elders and villagers of Heifenggou, cleared his throat, and said in a sharp voice:
"The Emperor's Order:"
"People of Black Wind Valley, accept my order!"
Brush, brush, brush! All the villagers in Heifenggou knelt on the ground.
Miao'er was about to kneel down with everyone else, but Bai Qi held Miao'er and continued to eat leisurely at the table.
"How dare you! The emperor has issued an order, why don't you kneel and accept it?"
When the magistrate of Mei County saw that Bai Qi was so unruly and disrespectful to the emperor, he immediately started to scold him.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped hard by the eunuch, "Shut up! General Bai Qi, how can you scold him?"
Then the eunuch bowed to Bai Qi and said, "General Bai Qi, please feel free to sit and listen."
this!
The magistrate of Mei County had a buzzing head.
Is this still the eunuch who bullies the local people?
Why does it feel like a dog in your own home?
Meng Feiyu also opened his mouth wide. He knelt on the ground, humble and pious, but Bai Qi sat there and treated the emperor's order as shit.
The elders and villagers of Heifenggou were so shocked that they were speechless.
This is the emperor’s decree, and this is the eunuch who conveys the decree!
How could they know the fear of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict? Bai Qi, this gentleman, dared to beat an angel and chop up the imperial edict into pieces. He was actually very panicked.
The woman in gorgeous clothes had envy in her eyes. She really wished she could sit next to Bai instead of Miao'er.
At this moment, the eunuch had already begun reading the imperial edict.
"Bai Qi fought hard against the Xiongnu and made great contributions to the country. The people of Heifenggou took care of Bai Qi for three years and cultivated pillars for the country. Everyone has made contributions!"
"The emperor has specially decreed that the Black Wind Valley be exempted from corvée, military service, and taxes for three years!"
boom--
The folks in Heifenggou were excited.
“This is what it means to return home in glory!”
"This is what it means to be successful!"
"I didn't expect that we would be exempted from taxes for another three years."
At this moment, everyone's eyes towards Miao'er's family changed. This is what it means to recognize a person with a discerning eye.
Grandpa Miaoer couldn't close his mouth because of smiling.
"How could it be, how could it be!"
Meng Feiyu's face looked grim. Hadn't Bai Qi been rewarded?
Why do you still have to be so kind to others?
He didn't know that the Emperor of Zhou had spent some money to make Bai Qi willingly die.
The magistrate of Mei County turned pale and had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he was not afraid, because he was an official appointed by the imperial court.
What can Bai Qi do to himself?
I am acting in accordance with the law.
However, the next words from the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict made him feel scared to death!
The eunuch came up to Bai Qi and respectfully handed him the imperial edict, saying, "General Bai Qi, please don't chop this imperial edict into pieces. And don't beat the angel again. My body can't stand it!"
"Okay, got it." Bai Qi responded indifferently. This imperial edict was the evidence of tax exemption. How could he destroy it?
Chop up the imperial edict?
Beating angels?
Everyone looked at Bai Qi in horror. How dare you? How dare you?
The most important thing is, you beat him up, but this eunuch still remained so servile to you. How powerful are you?
Mei County Magistrate's entire body was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Bai Qi stood up and walked towards the Mei County Magistrate step by step, saying calmly: "Your son bullied the family of a soldier and was killed by me with one sword. Do you accept it?"
Mei County Magistrate looked constipated, and he groveled and said, "I obey, I obey!"
After saying this, he seemed to have been drained of all his energy.
The villagers of Heifenggou simply couldn't believe their ears. This was revenge for the murder of their son, and the Mei County magistrate was going to take over the matter?
The constables from the county were also terrified. This Bai Qi was definitely a great god and they could not afford to offend him!
The woman in gorgeous clothes looked like she was spitting fire from her eyes. What would happen if Meng Feiyu became a captain of a thousand men?
Even if Meng Feiyu becomes a general in the future, would he dare to be so domineering and reckless?
The look she gave Bai Qi was full of aggression, which made Meng Feiyu next to her feel green on his head.
Meng Feiyu roared, "Bai Qi, even if you can subdue the Mei County Magistrate today, what can you do? Once you leave, won't the Mei County Magistrate take revenge on the villagers?"
"You still harmed the folks of Heifenggou!"
"You've harmed all those who have done you a favor!"
Meng Feiyu's words made the villagers of Heifenggou turn pale.
The magistrate of Mei County also lowered his head and remained silent. What Meng Feiyu said was of course what he thought in his heart.
It is inevitable that someone would bear a grudge if his son was killed. But now he has to bow his head under someone's roof. In the future, he will definitely kill someone to vent his anger.
He had ten thousand ways to kill all the people in Heifenggou!
He wants these people to be buried with his son!
Miao'er also had an ugly look on his face, and the head of the village and others looked even more sad and angry. This is the sorrow of the people at the bottom of society.
If someone hits you, you have to face them with a smile. If you resist, you may be beaten even worse.
This is the difference between the powerful and the lower class, and it is also the reason why the powerful are the powerful.
Bai Qi laughed loudly, drew out his sword again, and said firmly: "So, today I will cut off the roots!"
"You, what are you doing?" The Meixian magistrate was so frightened that he stumbled to his feet.
"Of course I'll kill you!"
Bai Qi's eyes were grim, and he walked towards the Mei County Magistrate step by step, holding a bloody sword.
"I am an official appointed by the court. I am a civil official. Even if I am guilty, it is the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple that can try me. You can't kill me!"
"You are assassinating an imperial official!"
The magistrate of Mei County screamed in horror.
Bai Qi laughed cruelly: "Then let the Emperor of Zhou sentence me to death!"
From the moment he received the imperial edict, he no longer had any respect for the Emperor of Zhou.
At this moment, anyone who dares to provoke him will be killed!
He won't leave any hidden dangers.
"Quick, protect me!" Mei County Magistrate called out to the constables, but the constables who used to obey his orders now avoided him as if he were the plague.
Bai Qi swept his sword and the head of Mei County Magistrate flew up.
Meixian magistrate is dead!
"Now no one should dare to embarrass the elders and fellow villagers anymore!"
Bai Qi wiped his sword clean on the clothes of the leader of the constables, which frightened the constables so much that they fell to their knees, shaking like Parkinson's patients.
"Whoever dares to offend my Black Wind Valley again will suffer this fate!"
Bai Qi's cold eyes warned all the people coming from the county, then he put his arm around Miao'er's slender waist and said with a smile: "Miao'er, come on, I have something good to give you."
Having said that, he left without caring about other people's reactions.
Only the crowd was left in shock.
Meng Feiyu's face turned pale and he stared at all this in a daze. Bai Qi was too cruel. He was really trying to wipe out the whole thing!
The people from the county town and the villagers of Heifenggou all looked at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. He had the highest status here.
Bai Qi killed court officials so unscrupulously, shouldn't the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict express any opinion?
Who would have thought that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict almost jumped up with joy, and shouted excitedly: "What a ruthless and decisive young general, what a young general who hates evil as much as he hates evil."
"I must report this to the princess. Only a young hero like this is worthy of her!"
He waved his sleeves and ordered: "Throw the Mei County Magistrate and his son into the mass grave, don't let them dirty other people's land! By the way, tell someone to investigate the Mei County Magistrate's illegal activities. General Bai Qi must eliminate harm for the people!"
The eunuch's words shocked everyone.
Meng Feiyu was filled with grief and indignation. You didn’t see Bai Qi killing people for no reason, yet you still had to clean up the mess for him.
But Meng Feiyu didn't know that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was impressed by Bai Qi's determination to kill people.
The princess has instructed that the more arrogant Bai Qi becomes, the more he must be won over.
Because Princess Anyang didn't want to be trampled upon by the Huns.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the villagers of Heifenggou were still in shock and could not recover for a long time.
An elder of the tribe said with emotion: "I'm afraid a dragon will be born in our Black Crazy Valley!"
The dragon soars above the nine heavens, just like the phoenix, the totem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is a legendary mythical beast!
At this moment, in the thatched hut, Miao'er was shy, lowered her head, gently stirred the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother Baiqi, what do you want to do..."
