Chapter 422 So what's your name now?
Zheng Liangcai was pulled off his horse, and his servant immediately brought over an elderly doctor who was placed in front of him.
“Take a good look at my young master. If you can’t cure him, you’ll pay with your life.”
The doctor was already old, and when he fell to the ground, he ignored the pain, struggled to his feet, and immediately went to check Zheng Liangcai's leg.
"ah--"
Zheng Liangcai screamed in pain, and the servant beside him immediately kicked the old doctor, saying, "Go easy on him! Are you trying to kill my young master with pain?"
The old doctor was already quite old and his hands were shaking a bit, but now they were shaking even more violently, and he quickly picked up the gauze that had fallen to the ground.
"Damn it, go and call someone quick, drag this guy out and beat him to death."
The old doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "My lord, please spare my life!"
“I have a young grandson at home. If I die, there will be no one to take care of him, sir.”
"Damn it, why aren't you dragging him away and beating him to death? What are you doing wailing here?" Zheng Liangcai cursed angrily.
The servant tried to drag the man away, but Li stepped forward again and kicked the servant next to Zhen Liangcai, saying, "You scum, you beast, how dare I act on behalf of Heaven!"
Li Chong helped the old doctor up and shielded him behind him, saying, "Zheng Liangcai, even if you don't cause me trouble today, I will definitely cause you trouble another day."
"Back then, you ran over my daughter with your horse and killed her, which is why my wife committed suicide. The hatred of killing my wife and daughter is irreconcilable."
"Even if that doesn't count, you have harmed the people of Peach Blossom County and insulted His Majesty. I will definitely bring you to justice."
Zheng Liangcai pointed at the servants beside him and cursed, "Hurry up and seize this son of a bitch! How dare he talk back to me? Has he lived too long?"
"How about I run over your daughter? Even if that woman from the palace came today, I would still run you over."
"You think you can deal with the Zheng family just because you've been appointed as a garrison commander? Today I'll tell you, the law of Peach Blossom County is the law of the Zheng family."
"The emperor of Peach Blossom County is my father."
"Since you're in such a hurry to die, then I'll grant your wish and send you down."
"You lot, hurry up and grab him, lock him in the dungeon, I'm going to torture him until he dies."
Upon hearing the order, the servants swarmed forward, but Li, without drawing his sword, quickly knocked them to the ground.
The servants in the Zheng household all act arrogantly because of their masters. Even if they know some martial arts, they've become so lazy that they can't do anything else.
Li Chongxin doesn't want to kill innocent people like you.
Some of these people were forced by poverty to make a living, while others had lost their conscience following the Zheng family. But the most important thing was the Zheng family; if they didn't take action, some of them would be the ones who died.
As long as Zheng Liangcai lives, killing any number of Zheng family servants will be of no use.
He needed to save his strength to kill Zheng Liangcai. If he could also kill Zheng's father, that would be a bonus. If he couldn't kill him, he could only pin his hopes on his brothers.
He's here today with the intention of dying.
Li Chongxin knocked the servants of the Zheng family to the ground, drew his sword, aimed it at Zheng Liangcai, and slashed down hard, cutting off Zheng Liangcai's head.
The servants of the Zheng family scrambled to their residence to report the incident, while others surrounded Li Chongxin, saying, "You're not leaving."
"You killed our young master, and my master will never let you get away with this."
Li Chongxin wiped the bloodstains splattered on his face and said to the servants of the Zheng family, "I'm not going anywhere. You can go and call that dog of an official, Zheng Tong."
Li Chongxin plopped down next to Zheng Liangcai's corpse, the sword in his lap, his hands resting on it.
The servants of the Zheng household looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Young man, you'd better run!"
The old doctor whom Li Chongxin had just saved took out a few copper coins from his pocket. "I don't have much on me today, just these."
"Take it and run!"
As soon as the old doctor spoke, the people around him began to agree. Everyone took out the silver in their hands and handed it to Li Chongxin, saying, "Yes, you should run quickly."
"You are a real man. You risked your own safety to kill a scourge for our Peach Blossom County. We are all grateful to you."
"You'd better leave quickly, we'll stop these people."
One of the servants of the Zheng family saw this and pointed at the people in the crowd, shouting, "You unruly people, how dare you! Aren't you afraid that my master will come to punish you?"
"My young master is in trouble today, but my master is still alive. As long as my master is alive, none of you will escape."
"Go to hell!" someone in the crowd said angrily. "We're afraid of Zheng Tong because we have elderly parents and young children to support, so we don't dare to risk it, but we're not afraid of you."
"You son of a bitch, you're helping the Zheng family so much, do you think that corrupt official would kill me because of you?"
As he spoke, the man punched the servant hard. With one person leading the way, the others also started punching and kicking all the servants.
He beat the servants so badly they scrambled and fled in terror.
The crowd chased away the servants from the Zheng household and then tried to dissuade Li Chongxin, saying, "Brave warrior, hurry up and leave. We'll hold them off here."
"Yes, while we can still leave through the city gates, we can go to my house if we can't get out."
“My cellar is spacious; they’ll never find you.”
“My family also has a cellar, you can come to my house.”
“My old house has never had an owner. No one has ever been there. They won’t go there, and they can go there anyway.”
"......"
Amidst the chatter, Li Chongxin remained seated on the ground, expressing his gratitude to everyone, "I, Li Chongxin, was able to return alive and survive until now solely to take the lives of this treacherous father and son."
"Everyone need not worry about me. As long as we can kill that corrupt official today, I am willing to die and go to the eighteenth level of hell."
After Li Chongxin finished speaking, some people in the crowd started to shed tears, while others insisted that Li Chongxin leave.
As everyone was talking, a group of soldiers suddenly surrounded the area.
The people were terrified by the soldiers and most of them dared not speak.
Zheng Tong's carriage stopped, and Li Chongxin saw the carriage stand up, gripping his sword tightly, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.
Zheng Tong alighted from the carriage and stared at the headless corpse of his son beside Li Chongxin. His pupils widened, his lips trembled, and after taking two steps forward, his body went limp.
He immediately scrambled to his feet and stumbled forward until he reached Zheng Liangcai. He cried out in despair, "Liangcai, my son!"
Li Chongxin didn't give Zheng Tong a chance. Seeing that Zheng Tong was not far away, he raised his long sword and thrust it at Zheng Tong, saying, "You corrupt official, if you miss your son so much, why don't you go down and keep him company!"
Just as Li Chongxin's sword was about an inch away from Zheng Tong's heart, the surrounding soldiers all rushed out and stopped Li Chongxin with their guns.
Li Chong used his sword to deflect the two guns in front of him and then thrust the sword at Zheng Tong.
Li Chongxin's goal was clear: to kill Zheng Tong at all costs.
The soldiers behind him thrust their spears toward Li Chongxin's back.
Just as the spear was about to pierce Li Chongxin's heart, a shadow suddenly flashed by, and a long whip snatched the spear from the soldier's hand.
As everyone looked over, a beautiful figure stood in front of Li Chongxin.
