After he finished speaking, he noticed that the reactions of the brothers around him were not so enthusiastic, and some even cowered and wanted to retreat.
After all, the strength of these people in front of them is obvious to all.
They would naturally be afraid of the opposite side. Even though they looked vulnerable at the moment, they still frightened the mob like Baishan Hall.
Zhang Xing gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone, "After the task is completed, each brother will be rewarded with 100 taels."
There is always a brave man when there is a big reward. This saying is not without reason.
Especially those gang brothers in Linzhou Prefecture, their eyes lit up when they heard the reward of one hundred taels.
Why are they working so hard? It's just for money.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Kill!"
Someone took the lead, and soon everyone else took action, rushing towards the six people who were at the end of their strength once again.
"Sir, we will protect you and help you break out of the encirclement."
The ghost-faced man rushed out without any hesitation under the cover of five people.
With the five people risking their lives and fighting to the death, the leader wearing a ghost mask finally broke through the siege and escaped with injuries.
"Chase!" Li Er shouted without thinking.
He has never forgotten Su Xiaozhong's instructions.
Zhang Xing didn't want to pursue it anymore. It was enough to have done so far. But once Li Er opened his mouth, the credit would go to the second shopkeeper. Naturally, he was not happy.
Therefore, instead of objecting, he showed a more positive attitude than Li Er.
"Chase and kill the last man. You will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver and promoted to the deputy of the second shopkeeper." Li Er shouted to everyone.
Two hundred taels may make many people tempted, but not necessarily everyone. However, the last condition will make all the brothers below tempted.
A fellow gang member asked, "What if we are not from Baishantang?"
"Treat everyone equally." Li Er responded in a loud voice, loud enough for the brothers around him to hear clearly.
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately cheered by many gang brothers below.
"Let's go, catch up with that person."
Once I catch up with that person and kill him, I will be able to walk all over Linzhou Prefecture in the future.
This kind of opportunity is rare. It is a great opportunity for those who have no connections.
Li Er was very happy looking at the attitude of the crowd.
He was happy, but Zhang Xing next to him was not so happy.
TMD!
In this way, everyone will remember that it is the second shopkeeper and will think that the credit is all his.
Zhang Xing glared at Li Er fiercely. The latter felt it but didn't care.
Humph, trying to compete for credit with the second shopkeeper? No way.
Hehe, if the second shopkeeper knew my good intentions, he would definitely be very happy.
Li Er thought happily.
After the managers of Baishan Hall finally had some free time, they had the leisure to look around. As they looked around, they found a red light in the east of the city.
One of the managers stared at that direction and muttered to the person beside him, "Why does that location look like the location of our Baishan Hall?"
Upon hearing this, others looked in that direction and it indeed looked like that.
Zhang Xing said, "It can't be Baishan Hall."
Li Er was a little worried, "Let's go back and take a look."
Several managers who were not injured hurried back to East City. The closer they got to East City, the stronger their sense of crisis became.
When they saw the exact location of the red light, everyone was stunned.
The building surrounded by flames was none other than the location of their Baishan Hall.
"Who, who set the fire?" a manager was furious.
Li Er's eyes widened in fear, and he hurried towards Baishan Hall, shouting, "Second Shopkeeper, Second Shopkeeper."
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the group of people. This person was covered in blood and wearing a ghost mask on his face.
When the managers of Baishan Hall saw him, their eyes widened in horror.
Some people reacted quickly and ran away.
When he moved, the others followed suit.
However, no matter how fast these managers ran, they could not be faster than the sword in the ghost-faced man's hand.
one……
Two...
Three...
All the stewards were killed with one blow. It only took the man opposite a few breaths to kill them.
After killing the culprit, the ghost-faced man leaped onto the wall, climbed over the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, when people woke up, they were shocked to find that the Baishan Hall, which had caused harm to the local area, had been burned down. Even the leaders of the Baishan Hall were beheaded in front of the door of the Baishan Hall, and the ruthless second manager of the Baishan Hall died in the fire.
Only a few insignificant minions were left in Baishan Hall.
The people of Linzhou Prefecture applauded what happened to Baishan Hall.
The happiest people were Baishantang's rival, the Helian family.
Helian Mansion
Early in the morning, the steward, with a happy look on his face, knocked on the master's door in a hurry.
The door was quickly opened, and the head of the Helian family said expressionlessly, "Go ahead."
"According to the latest information, the entire Baishan Hall was burned down, even their second manager and the managers below were killed. Now there are only a few small minions left in Baishan Hall."
The manager always had a smile on his face when he was reporting.
They are happy when Baishantang is in trouble.
There was such a big commotion last night that ordinary people didn't dare to investigate. However, the Helian family, one of the major forces in Linzhou Prefecture, dared to investigate.
They had known for a long time that a group of people from Baishantang had gathered together to surround and kill a mysterious group in order to avenge the head manager.
They thought that Baishantang would be able to succeed easily, but they never expected that the fighting power of that group of mysterious people would make them look at them with new eyes.
"Master, now is a good time to swallow up Baishantang's territory. Should we do it now?" the steward suggested cautiously.
The head of the Helian family raised his eyebrows, "Don't move! We will not get involved in this matter. Someone will take care of Baishan Hall for us. Why should we dirty our hands?"
Wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, then reap the benefits when the time comes?
The steward nodded when he heard this, "The master of the house has really thought it through. I'll let them know right away."
As for Su Xiaozhong, he had a good sleep and drove his carriage to the city gate the next day. He heard everything that happened last night without asking any questions along the way.
Su Xiaozhong couldn't help but feel lucky that this group of people didn't catch up with his eldest daughter and her family.
If the eldest daughter were to face them, she would surely die.
Su Xiaozhong left the city smoothly.
Now there is no one in charge of Baishan Hall, so it is impossible to set up checkpoints.
Both he and the man with the ghost mask escaped from the city easily.
As soon as the ghost-masked man left the city, he went straight south, while as soon as Su Xiaozhong left the city, he went straight north.
He had to hurry and catch up with his wife and daughter as quickly as possible.
