Chapter 47 I Can't Rest Without Killing Him
Of course, there are also some smart people in this team!
If they were really refugees stealing food, they would not be in a hurry to move the food, but would attack Lu Shiyan first.
And that kind of Kung Fu, how could it be an ordinary refugee! Not to mention refugees, even bandits wouldn't be able to have that kind of Kung Fu.
It's obvious that he has undergone special training.
Some people understood the situation and didn't foolishly shout. However, the Peng family, who had always been at odds with the Lu family, stood up at this time.
"What refugees and bandits! I think Lu Dalang has offended someone. Those people are here to kill him. We are just implicated by him." Peng Ziang's eyes were red, and he looked at Jiang Tangtang angrily.
When they were in the capital, the Peng family had always been at odds with the Lu family over military power.
Now, Peng Ziang's youngest son was killed by a rock rolling down the mountain. He now wanted to devour the flesh and blood of the Lu family.
"Yes, it's because of him that all of us got hurt. We need them to compensate us."
"Yes, yes, we need them to compensate us. Our loved ones can't have died in vain. They must compensate us."
…
Peng Ziang was angry about the loss of his beloved son and a long-standing grudge, but those who followed suit wanted to take advantage of the situation.
As people talked, they rushed towards the ox-cart and donkey-cart of the Lu family's main house. The fastest ones grabbed meat, grain, cotton clothes and other things and ran away.
"Put the things down!" Jiang Tangtang felt very sympathetic towards those who were injured and died from falling rocks, but if anyone was to be blamed, it should be those heartless people who caused the rocks to roll down the mountain. How could they be blamed on them?
She was really fed up with the victim-blaming fallacy.
She had no weapons in her hands and happened to be standing close to Liang Jiamin. Seeing the sword at his waist, she grabbed it and said to those people fiercely: "Who dares to steal my things! First see if the sword in my hand agrees!"
At the same time, Lu Shiyan also walked over. He had no weapon in his hand, but just looked at everyone with cold eyes.
But he didn't say a word, but he made people more afraid than Jiang Tangtang, who was fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
"My nephew was killed by you. Isn't it right to ask for some compensation?" Luo, the third daughter-in-law of the Peng family, looked at Lu Shiyan fearfully, but she was reluctant to throw away the cotton clothes and meat in her hands.
Their clothes had been worn out by the journey, and they hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The Lu family's eldest branch didn't lack these things, so what was wrong with her taking some?
Jiang Tangtang said angrily, "If you want compensation, you should go to the person who caused your nephew's death. Why are you going to find us, the victims? Are you mentally ill or something? Can't you see that my family is also injured?"
"You were only injured, but my nephew is dead!" Luo said, "Those people came to kill you. We were innocently implicated. Of course, you should compensate us."
Jiang Tangtang sneered, "How do you know those people are coming for us? The reason our families were exiled is the same. If someone can't tolerate us, can they tolerate you?"
Jiang Tangtang's words made everyone present shudder.
If Lu Shiyan was retaliated against because the Lu family supported the Third Prince's rebellion, then what about them? Wouldn't they also be hated?
"Today, my husband is blocking the way, but if one day he's not there, do you think you can just…" Jiang Tangtang paused, then sneered, "Dealing with you is easier than stepping on an ant!"
It has to be said that Jiang Tangtang's words completely hit the nail on the head about what they were most worried about.
That person might deal with Lu Shiyan first, get rid of the most difficult one, and then deal with them.
Lu Shiyan is very good at martial arts, and most people can't do anything to him, but that's not necessarily the case for them.
Putting aside this, just looking at Lu Shiyan's martial arts skills, if they offend him badly, what if he doesn't help them if they encounter danger again in the future?
People weighed the pros and cons in their minds and felt that it was not worth it to offend the eldest branch of the Lu family for such a small amount of things, so they put down their things and left in shame.
"What are you doing here? You just bandaged the wound, what if it breaks open again?" After everyone left, Jiang Tangtang looked at Lu Shiyan worriedly.
"I'm fine!" Lu Shiyan said.
Jiang Tangtang didn't believe that he was okay, but he had already come here, and the wound would have split open long ago, so she didn't say anything more.
"Then you stay here and guard the things! Just be a gatekeeper and guard the things. Don't move around anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Tangtang went to find Liang Jiamin and talked about looking for the donkey.
The officers' two donkeys also ran away in fright, and Liang Jiamin did not refuse. He ordered some officers to deal with the bodies and the other part to look for the donkeys.
After thanking Liang Jiamin, Jiang Tangtang returned to the donkey cart and began to count the supplies.
This assassination caused them to lose a lot of things.
Besides the donkey carts being smashed by the rocks, the large vats used to store beef were also smashed. Much of the food was also smashed to pieces by the rocks, making it inedible even if you could pick it up.
Jiang Tangtang asked He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui to clean up as much as possible. If there were any broken and inedible or unusable things, they could just throw them away. There was no need to feel sorry about it. They would be arriving at the exile place in a few days anyway. They could just hold on and buy something else when they got there.

In a secluded house in Dageng City, a burly man with a big beard was pacing back and forth in the room.
After walking around for an unknown number of times, he said irritably, "Shaoan, take some people to check it out yourself... See why there's still no news coming back."
Guo Shaoan bowed to the big man and said, "Yes, Master. I will go right away."
Guo Shaoan took his men out before noon, but did not return until dark.
"What's the situation?" The bearded man had a bad feeling when he saw that there was no one following them, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.
Guo Shaoan lowered his head, suppressing his grief and saying, "Young Master, the people we sent... were all killed!"
The bearded man slapped the table, breaking it into pieces, and angrily shouted, "Useless! A bunch of useless people. How come you can't even deal with a cripple?"
Several people lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
The bearded man grabbed the big knife and was about to go outside, but was stopped by Guo Shaoan, "Young Master, you can't go!"
The bearded man asked, "So, what do you think we should do next?"
Guo Shaoan lowered his head and said, "I don't know either, but the young master is a precious treasure. How can he put himself in danger for a drowning dog? If it is up to me, there is no need to waste manpower and financial resources for him."
The bearded man said, "He's not just any drowned dog! He's a wolf, a fierce wolf that will strike back if it gets the chance. I won't be at peace unless I kill him."
