Chapter 59 Kill!
Liu Laohu glared at the other people in the Shen family's house, and they all shrank back and hid.
"Useless coward!"
Just as Madam Shen was about to call Shen Yuanjing and the others back, she thought that with Lan Xi around, they would never go hungry. Why couldn't these children understand her good intentions?
"Mother, please stop talking. What if we anger Liu Laohu and he makes us the ones to take the fall?" The other members of the Shen family quickly whispered their advice.
Old Madam Shen was still wary of Liu Laohu, and retreated with a dark face. She had her own plans, but it was the children in the eldest son's family who were disobedient, and she couldn't be blamed for their deaths!
Shen Lanxi teamed up with Chunxue and Qiushuang, leaving Wang's mother and her family to watch over the children and the carriages.
Six teams, under the command of Wei Dongzhu, infiltrated Liuzhao Village from four different directions.
The closer you get to the refugees, the stronger the smell of smoke and scorching oil becomes.
Those who approached turned pale. At first, they could bear it, but when someone saw the clean human bones on the ground, they could no longer bear it, hid to the side, and almost vomited bile!
"brute!"
"Worse than pigs and dogs..."
"This is absolutely inhuman..."
Whispers of curses filled the air; everyone hated the ruthless, demonic person inside with a passion!
Shen Lanxi also saw the human bones. These people casually discarded the bones aside, having completely lost their conscience as human beings, and had all turned into vicious beasts with human forms.
They sneaked into the house closest to the refugees, where Wei Jiajun and Wei Dongzhu were hiding!
"You stay here, we'll go to the house next door!" With only a wall separating them, she leaped across with Chunxue and Qiushuang!
Faint cries, angry curses, and sounds of beatings mingled together. Everyone who heard them gripped their weapons tightly, and those without clenched their fists, all ready for battle!
Some refugees came out to urinate, and some came out to gather firewood. They went in different directions, and soon the two of them were dealt with by covering their mouths!
Seeing that the person carrying firewood hadn't returned, another person came out to urge them on.
Solved again!
The fact that the three people didn't return aroused the suspicion of the refugees, and this time more than a dozen people came out.
"Should we split up and search separately?"
"No, this village isn't that big. Let's go together!"
"You're as cowardly as a rat..."
Although the dozen or so people were cursing and swearing, they did not separate. Having done so many despicable things, they were naturally timid and could only rely on cursing to bolster their courage!
To avoid alerting the people inside, relying solely on the prisoners is definitely not enough!
Shen Lanxi remained still, observing the movements of the Wei family army.
Since she entrusted Wei Dongzhu with the command this time, if he cannot control the overall situation, he is not a qualified general!
After the dozen or so people had gone some distance, Wei's army took care of everything.
This move stunned the prisoners and constables hiding nearby. Wei's army swiftly slashed the throats of all the refugees with a single stroke. No one but those who were trained could have done it!
The method of defeating them one by one proved feasible, and the strength of Wei's army once again emboldened the prisoners and constables.
They have plenty of time; they don't believe the refugees will stay inside forever!
A short while later, more people came out.
This time, the refugees were cunning. They tied the women and children of the village together and pushed them to walk in front. The villagers stood guard with knives, ready to take the villagers hostage at the slightest sign of trouble!
"Hurry up, hurry up..." The women and children being pushed around were all gaunt, poorly clothed, and as thin as skeletons covered with skin. They staggered along with numb expressions!
On the other hand, the people pushing them were all burly and thick-shouldered, with fierce faces. They looked like they had never been hungry and were eating very well!
The woman could no longer support herself; she swayed twice and collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily but not deeply.
"Get up! If you don't get up, we'll throw you in the pot and boil you!" One of them kicked him.
Those hiding all around could no longer contain themselves and rushed forward in unison!
Who is it?
Before the word "Quickly..." could be uttered, these people were gagged, their weapons were taken away, and they were killed by the rushing constables!
Liu Laohu quickly directed the prisoners to clean up, and then swiftly began to summarize the experience.
"Be more careful next time. Wait until they're a little further away from the knife before you strike. Otherwise, before we even get there, their knife will already be at the hostage's neck!"
Those who rushed forward learned their lesson and quickly nodded in agreement.
The prisoners quickly untied the ropes from the women and children, and were about to tell them to hide when they saw one of the women running and shouting.
"Help! Someone's here..."
"Damn it, she's in cahoots with the refugees!"
Everyone panicked, but it was too late to catch up.
Oh no, we're going to be found out!
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and then they saw a stone fly over, knocking the woman who had run away flying.
With a thud, the woman, who had run twenty or thirty meters away, crashed heavily at their feet!
Blood kept gushing from the woman's mouth and nose, and her sternum was caved in. A rock the size of a watermelon had almost pierced through her sternum!
There was no time to think about who did it; it was definitely an ally!
Liu Laohu quickly directed his men to deal with the woman in a flurry of activity!
The women and children were taken to a safe place, and Liu Yanhui immediately questioned them.
"How many people are inside? How many of you are like them, how many are kidnapped, and how many are bad guys?"
"How many weapons are there, and what are they? Are there any martial arts practitioners?"
"What kind of furniture is in the room? For example, tables, chairs, iron plates, and other things that can be used for concealment. How much of that is there?"
Several women and children huddled together, trembling and sobbing softly! Their pitiful sight was unbearable to look at!
"Don't be afraid, we're here to save you!" Shen Yuantang and several other women stepped forward to speak!
"Sisters-in-law, hurry up and tell us! We can save more lives!"
These words touched a nerve with one of the women.
"Save my child! Please save my child!"
The women, seeing the female villager kowtowing repeatedly, all turned their heads away to wipe their tears.
Liu Laohu took out the constable's token: "Sister-in-law, I am a constable. Don't worry, as long as the person is alive, we will rescue them!"
Upon hearing Liu Laohu's identity, the women and children, as if grasping at the last straw, spilled out the whole story!
"The leader inside is a former bandit who knows martial arts. There are more than a dozen of them, and the rest are refugees who obey them!"
"There were more than a dozen broadswords, and quite a few people carrying kitchen knives and hoes. Oh, and two people were carrying bows and arrows!"
"There are only thirty or forty villagers left in our village. There are many people, probably three or four hundred, including men, women and children!"
Liu Yanhui's eyes lit up: "How many strong laborers do they have?"
The women and children were lost in thought.
"There are two or three hundred people!"
"More than two hundred!"
"There are seventy or eighty women and children among them, and they all have children of their own. Why would they want to harm my child..."
