Chapter 467: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 78
A group of people dug enthusiastically, almost turning the entire mountain top upside down. The entrance of the meeting hall was full of pits and holes, but they did not find more silver.
Everyone was busy digging the "treasure" left behind by Gang Leader Hong, and gradually no one stopped fighting. Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but found that Ji Yunhuan's face was as white as paper.
Ji Yunhuan only buried a shallow layer of silver on top to fool these people. There is definitely no silver underground.
She leaned against Lin Yuan and whispered, "The guys just started fighting because they were angry for a while. Besides Wei Zhong's instigation, it was also because they had a hard time in the past few months. They were all holding back their anger and had a lot of hatred accumulated between them. They just took this opportunity to vent it out."
"A bunch of hot-blooded men are easily impulsive. If they don't release their energy, it will be troublesome. After this fight, they will be quiet in the future."
"A Yuan, the village will be yours from now on, you want to..."
Lin Yuan held Huan'er's shoulders, feeling distressed. "Okay, stop talking. Why are your hands so cold? Doctor Lan can't see what's wrong with you. I don't know if there's a famous doctor in Lingnan. I'll definitely find one to take a look at you. You've been weak every now and then along the way, and your face is as pale as a ghost."
"You were fine this morning, how come you are like this now? I shouldn't have let you come with me. Go back and lie down now. I'll ask Doctor Lan to make some ginseng soup for you."
Ji Yunhuan knew that she had simply exhausted her mental strength, but she knew her limits; she had not buried much silver, and she had not buried it very deep.
Ji Yunhuan took out a bag of spiritual spring water from her purse. Lin Yuan was afraid that she would get tired, so he insisted on feeding her with the water bag.
After drinking a bag of water, Ji Yunhuan felt much better. She coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I'm fine. Don't look at me. Let's get down to business!"
Wei Zhong was very angry when he saw that everyone had stopped fighting and even his confidants were thinking of digging for the silver.
"Assholes! You are fooled by a little profit! If you don't kill these traitors, you will all die when the officials come to kill you!"
The sound of orderly horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Guo Yi had wanted to rush over when he learned of the movement on the top of the mountain, but General Ji stopped him and only let him come over at this time.
If we come too early, it will only cause greater panic, and the situation will be out of control.
Guo Yi brought only a dozen people with him, and behind him was a group of bandits. All of them were stripped naked, leaving only a pair of pants. They were tied up tightly and were dragged all the way here.
"Make way! Let me in. I want to see who is slandering me here. It's obviously you who are doing something dishonest. Do you think I should just wait to die?"
The crowd made way for them, but some of them who were still unwilling to give up were still squatting on the ground with their butts sticking up, digging for silver, and they didn't react at all when the officials came.
Guo Yi led a group of people to the meeting hall, pointed the red tasseled spear in his hand at Wei Zhong, and said gloomily, "You are the one talking nonsense? Tell me, how did I kill someone? When did I say I would wipe out the bandit's nest? If you don't explain clearly today, I will kill you first!"
Wei Zhong was quite dissatisfied when he saw the bandits being tied up. These useless guys, not only did they fail to poison the officers, but they were all captured alive, not one was missing.
Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been mortal enemies. He didn't believe that today's incident could be resolved peacefully.
Wei Zhong stiffened his neck, his face full of anger, "Everyone has seen it, he arrested so many of our brothers, he has no good intentions!"
Guo Yi took out a packet of poison and said coldly, "You are the ones with bad intentions! You secretly poisoned the water source under the guise of delivering food. If it weren't for Gang Leader Lin, I would have killed these people with a knife a long time ago."
"I am indeed an official, but I am not an official from Cangzhou. I am just passing through Cangzhou, escorting prisoners to Lingnan. Back then, I defeated the Rongdi tribe and made them flee in disarray. I was so powerful. Who would want to fight you bandits?"
"Boss Lin is a chivalrous man who traveled thousands of miles to avenge his father. That's why we traveled together. It was you who shamelessly insisted on letting us go up the mountain. So this is how your gang treats guests. I'm really enlightened!"
Wei Zhong still refused to give up and argued, "You said they poisoned us, so they were just following orders to deliver food. It's obvious that you had evil intentions and wanted to kill us brothers."
Huang Daxian appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "This is indeed the poison from our cottage. I made it and gave it to Wang Laowu yesterday..."
Wei Zhong glared at Huang Daxian fiercely. Huang Daxian covered his mouth and said nothing, but he had said everything he needed to say.
Huang Daxian is timid and afraid of trouble. He has been avoiding getting involved in these things, just waiting for the outcome. He has already realized that he must cling to the thigh of Gang Leader Lin in order to live a good life in the mountain village.
Guo Yi threw the poison on the ground, "You have nothing to say now, right? It was you who instructed Wang Laowu to poison you!"
Wong Tai Sin ran over, picked up the poison and put it in his arms. This thing was difficult to mix, and it would be a pity to throw it away.
Wang Laowu was tied up in the front. He spat fiercely, finally spitting out the rag in his mouth, and shouted loudly:
"I am responsible for my own actions! This has nothing to do with the Wei family. The Wei family asked me to bring people to deliver food to you. It was me who wanted to poison you. I just can't stand officials. All officials deserve to die!"
"I am not as skilled as others, and it is my bad luck that I was caught. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. The scar on my head will only be the size of a bowl. I will be a brave man again in 18 years!"
Lin Yuan was so angry that he almost laughed!
Whoever goes up the mountain to become a bandit has a sad past? Wang Laowu's family was destroyed and he hated officials so much that he would kill them whenever he saw them, without any regard for the consequences.
Wei Zhong really knows how to use people well. He sent such a person to deliver food and gave a few provocative hints. He was not afraid that Wang Laowu would not take action.
If he succeeds, the officer will die and all the treasures will belong to Wei Zhong, and Wang Laowu will just satisfy his urge to kill.
If it was exposed, the two sides would start fighting, which would be exactly what Wei Zhong wanted.
Lin Yuan raised his knife and slashed, and one of the ears fell off, rolling on the ground covered in blood. Wang Laowu was really a tough guy. He bit his mouth until it bled, but he didn't even make a sound.
Lin Yuan sneered, "You idiot! You don't even know you're being used! Do you know how many people will die if you sprinkle some poison?"
Wang Laowu was throbbing with pain, stiffening his neck and saying, "All those officials deserve to die! I'm killing them to enforce justice!"
Lin Yuan slapped Wang Laowu's face and said angrily, "You said that officials should die, but what about those exiled prisoners? What about those refugees who followed along? And those old, weak, women and children, do they all deserve to die?"
"When my adoptive father was alive, he often scolded you, but you just don't remember! Guo Yi used to be the deputy general of the Northern Army. He was a serious soldier who went into battle and killed countless Rongdi people. You keep saying that you are acting on behalf of heaven, but what great deeds have you done?"
