Chapter 737 Young General vs. Rich Lady 40
Guo Qing knew he had fallen into a trap!
He thought he was cautious and prudent, so he didn't dare to take any action. He had been watching the movements in the general's mansion from a distance. Later, he discovered that the granary was heavily guarded, so he gradually paid attention to the granary.
He was sure that a large amount of food was stored in the granary, and porridge was distributed in the back alley of the general's mansion, but there should not be much food in the general's mansion.
Except for that time when he instigated the people to grab military rations, he never showed up again. He has been patient until now, but in the end he failed!
Guo Qing was turning two huge stone hammers. He was very strong and others could not get close to him easily.
Wang the Shorty was very cunning. Relying on his small size, he hid beside Guo Qing. As long as Guo Qing didn't fall, he would not be caught.
Guo Qing was so angry that his teeth itched. "I asked you to explore the way, but what did you explore? You also said that the Huo family army had withdrawn. So many people were lying in ambush here, but you didn't realize it. Are those two holes on your face just for show?"
A spear stabbed towards Guo Qing's lower body. Wang the Dwarf blocked it for Guo Qing. If Guo Qing was injured and his lower body was unstable, he would also suffer.
Shorty Wang howled in pain, "Boss! Stop scolding me! Now is not the time for internal strife!"
"Huo Xiao is so sinister. I didn't expect there were people hiding in the granary. Let's retreat quickly!"
Zhao Hai threw two unconscious thugs down from the observation deck, one in each hand, and jumped down himself. He ran over and closed the door of the granary.
If one escapes, kill him; if two escape, kill a pair!
He is guarding here, no one can escape.
The soldiers in the yard were mainly focused on catching people, but Zhao Hai didn't care about catching people, he just killed them. He could kill them with one move, which was extremely satisfying!
He really liked the job assigned to him by the major general.
Huo Xiao stared at Guo Qing who was resisting stubbornly. This man had good skills, but unfortunately he went astray and committed too many evil things.
He could tolerate fighting, violence, and taking a few lives, but Guo Qing was in the business of human flesh trafficking and had killed too many innocent children. This man had no morality in his heart, only profit. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, the Huo family army would not accept such a person.
Guo Qing must die, but the others can be kept as hard laborers, and if they have not committed any serious crimes, they can also join the army.
"Those who surrender will not be killed! You are just accomplices, and you don't have to follow through with this."
Some people hesitated and wanted to lay down their weapons. Guo Qing shouted, "Idiot! Robbing military rations is a capital crime! He even killed civilians who tried to steal food on the road. We have already robbed the food into the granary. How can we survive?"
"Fortune comes with risk. If you come here, be prepared to risk your life. Whoever dares to surrender will be the first one to be killed! Charge ahead and kill them!"
Guo Qing had great influence on the gangsters. They were afraid that they would die if they surrendered, so they thought that they might still have a chance to survive if they fought harder, so they fought even harder.
Guo Qing used his men as shields and moved towards the gate with difficulty.
In just a short while, half of his men were dead.
Bang, bang, bang! There was a sound of banging on the door outside the granary.
The door of the granary was made of only wood and was not as strong as the city gate. It soon became shaky and was about to collapse.
Zhao Hai immediately dodged to the side. With a loud bang, the door collapsed, crushing several thugs who were rushing in front, all of whom were people around Guo Qing.
Guo Qing was choked by the smoke and dust and started coughing. He did not tell anyone else about today's food robbery except his brothers who joined him in the fight. So where did these people who were knocking on the door come from?
It must be the One-Eyed Dragon! This guy is not just a small thug with only 20 or 30 men. He has hidden power.
The situation was critical, and Guo Qing didn't have time to think about it. He immediately shouted, "Quick, quick, quick! Get out! Run apart!"
They were all born and raised in Pingyang City. No one could find them once they entered those winding alleys.
The Huo family army couldn't arrest all the people on a street, so they would be safe if they blended in with the crowd.
In the chaos, the one-eyed man also rushed out of the granary, accompanied by several men, and ran wildly.
Huo Xiao deliberately left a dog hole on the side of the granary just to lure people into a trap and catch them all in one fell swoop. These people were slippery and would run away if you weren't careful, causing a lot of trouble.
In order to let Guo Qing feel at ease to act, the patrolling people really withdrew. After this side was conquered, the patrolling people rushed back, but they were still a step too slow, and a small number of people escaped.
"Search them separately! We must kill them before they escape into civilian houses, regardless of life or death."
There were corpses all over the granary, about thirty or forty people dead, and a dozen or so were captured.
The group of people who just broke into the door are still resisting desperately, as if they are risking their lives. This is not like the style of those gangsters. There is a wilderness in front of them, and escaping is better than fighting to the death. However, it is really abnormal that these people are trying their best to stop the Huo family army.
Huo Xiao guessed that the people who knocked on the door were not Guo Qing's men, and wanted to keep one alive for trial, but those people were determined to die, and in the end no one was left alive.
Zhao Shan came on horseback to report, "Guo Qing's lair has been taken down. More than twenty people were arrested, more than a dozen died, and hundreds of victims were rescued. The youngest was only three years old and was sold by his family to be a cook. Half a month ago, a piece of bran cake could buy a child."
"The lair was right next to a manure pit, where manure was collected to fertilize the fields. The smell was very strong, and no one went there on weekdays. When we broke in, the room was filled with the smell of blood, but it was covered by the smell of manure, so it couldn't be smelled from outside."
"Some of the children had broken arms and legs. Most likely they were eaten. Guo Qing didn't kill them. He probably wanted to let them beg in the future. The more miserable the children looked, the more money they could get from begging."
"Guo Qing has set his sights on the granary, hoping to make a fortune from it. Those children will be useless. If we don't find them, they plan to let them starve to death there."
Huo Xiao jumped onto the horse, and Chi Xiao shouted excitedly.
"I'm going to chase Guo Qing! Among the thieves who broke into the granary just now, there was a one-eyed thug. The people around him protected him intentionally or unintentionally. When he was running away, there were several people following him. This person is different. You take people to chase him."
Zhao Shan left a group of people to guard the warehouse, and the rest chased out.
Most of the people who escaped were caught back. Guo Qing chose the best direction. The road was rugged and suitable for hiding, but he was still chased by the Huo family army and could not get rid of it at all.
One of Guo Qing's stone hammers had been broken, his right arm was drooping, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose. He was already at the end of his strength.
Huo Xiao arrived on horseback, intending to capture a man alive for interrogation. Suddenly, flames shot up from a nearby house. The fire spread quickly and wailing sounds were heard.
Several people rushed out from the darkness and dragged Guo Qing away. They were familiar with the route and soon disappeared into the alley.
