When Pei Yun heard this, it seemed that there was something hidden behind this.
He always thought that Pei Zhong wanted to make him his mortal enemy. Could there be someone behind this?
This made him a little puzzled. In his previous life, he was just a bandit. He had been the bandit leader for only a few years and had not done anything harmful to the world. Why would anyone want to kill him?
He scooped a few pieces of fat from the pot, took a few cakes, signaled the bald man to untie Pei Zhong, and then handed the bowl over.
The four bald men surrounded Pei Zhong, and even if the other party was full, he could not escape.
Pei Zhong sat on the ground and started to eat voraciously.
When he stuffed the greasy fat into his mouth, his cheeks bulged instantly. His eyes widened as he stared at the remaining fat in the bowl like a hungry wolf.
Eating wild vegetables every day made him want to vomit, but now he finally gets to eat the meat he has always dreamed of.
After chewing for a few times, Pei Zhong swallowed the fat in his mouth, then reached out and picked up the second piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Next came the pancake, which I ate with great relish.
“Woo woo woo~”
Zhao Si, who was still tied up at the side, was so anxious that tears came to his eyes. Even if you want to kill me, can you please let me die with a full stomach?
One bite!
Even if I could just have one bite, that would be fine.
Stop eating, stop eating, it’s almost gone!
Leave some for me!
Zhao Si stretched his neck, looked at the bandits who were feasting, and then looked at Pei Zhong who was wolfing down his food, and kept swallowing his saliva with greed.
Pei Zhong finished the food in front of him and looked at Pei Yun, "Not enough."
Pei Yun signaled to the bald man, and he immediately went to get two more pancakes. As for the meat, it was gone, so he just poured a bowl of meat soup for Pei Zhong.
After eating two more pancakes, Pei Zhong showed a satisfied look on his face.
Then he drank the broth.
"happy!"
Pei Zhong patted his stomach and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so freely."
Then he stood up and said, "Good nephew, although I don't know how you hid so much food in the village, but you win."
"I accept defeat wholeheartedly! It's worth it to be able to eat meat once before I die!"
Pei Yun said: "Now you can tell me who wants me dead."
Pei Zhong nodded. "If you let me have a good meal, I won't break my promise."
"Pei Feng." Pei Zhong said a name.
Pei Yun frowned. Pei Feng was his third uncle's son, about the same age as him. Ever since Pei Yun followed Pei Yi to the mountains to become a bandit, he had never seen Pei Feng again.
Why did the other party want to kill him?
"What's the reason?" he asked.
Pei Zhong shook his head. "I don't know about that. I just took his money and did things for him."
Pei Yun looked at Pei Zhong. He didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not, but he would rather believe it.
"I've said what I need to say, please give me a quick death."
Pei Zhong stood up straight, looking ready to die!
The bandits were all full and looking over here. Seeing Pei Zhong like this, they felt a little bit sorry for him, but they quickly suppressed their emotions.
Now is not the time to sympathize with Pei Zhong. If the boss finds out and drives them out, it will not be worth it.
Pei Yun went back to the house and took out a thick rope, then threw it on the ground. "You can end it yourself."
Pei Zhong raised his eyes to look at Pei Yun, stared at him for a moment, and said softly: "Okay, I'll do it myself. This way, you won't be branded as an uncle-killer."
After saying that, he picked up the rope, moved a stool, walked to a big tree nearby, stood on the stool, placed the rope on a thicker branch, and tied it into a knot.
He turned slowly and looked towards the once familiar village. His eyes swept across the faces of many bandits and then fell on Pei Yun.
The corner of his mouth pulled out a smile, in that smile, there was bitterness, helplessness, and a hint of relief.
"It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. Death is also a kind of relief. Good nephew, uncle is waiting for you down there!"
After saying that, he put his neck into the noose and paused on the stool with his feet, as if making a final struggle.
Then, Pei Zhong kicked the stool hard, and it fell to the ground with a clang, with his entire body suspended in the air.
The rope was tightly around his neck, his body began to shake violently, and his hands instinctively tried to grab something, but he only grabbed air.
Pei Zhong's face turned from red to purple, his eyeballs bulged slightly, his mouth opened wide, and he made a faint "cluck" sound. As time passed, his movements gradually stopped, leaving only his body shaking gently.
The whole village was in complete silence.
Pei Yun let out a deep breath and looked at the still shaking corpse, feeling no pleasure at all.
"Bury him."
Immediately, the bald man and the pockmarked face man took down Pei Zhong's body and carried it to the back mountain.
Zhao Si, who was standing aside, was so frightened that his head was shaking. If he hadn't been tied up, he would have collapsed. Now that Pei Zhong was dead, it would be his turn next.
Although Pei Zhong said that he would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times, he still wanted to live.
Pei Yun pulled the rag out of his mouth, and Zhao Si immediately shouted, "Boss, Pei Zhong ordered me to do those things. It really has nothing to do with me."
"I swear, I am absolutely loyal to you, Boss. Please let me go."
Pei Yun said: "Do you think I tied you up because you targeted me?"
Zhao Si was stunned, wasn't it?
Pei Yun shook his head. "I asked Baldy and the others to kidnap Pei Zhong because I knew you had followed Pei Zhong for so long and had some friendship with him. But you were eager to show off by kidnapping your boss..."
Zhao Si realized that he had overacted.
When Pei Yun wanted to explain, he said, "Don't say I didn't give you a way to survive. As long as you can survive, I won't embarrass you anymore."
Zhao Si's face turned pale when he heard this.
The skinny monkey was well prepared. As soon as Pei Yun finished speaking, he walked over with a dagger in his hand.
Zhao Si was so frightened that he was shaking and screaming desperately, "Boss, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
Pei Yun ignored him, and the skinny monkey stabbed the skinny monkey's thigh with a knife.
"ah!"
Zhao Si screamed in pain. The dagger was stuck in his thigh, piercing through him from front to back, and blood was flowing.
"Master, spare my life! I am willing to work like a slave to repay your kindness of not killing me!"
Pei Yun was unmoved. Having such a villain around would be a disaster.
The skinny monkey pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Zhao Si's left and right shoulders respectively. Soon the blood spread under Zhao Si's feet.
Zhao Si also fainted.
Pei Yun turned around and looked at the bandits. "You all saw it. This is the result of betrayal. Although we are bandits, we still have to uphold morality. In the future, if anyone among you dares to betray me, I will never let him off easily!!"
As soon as the words fell, many bandits knelt on one knee, clasped their hands together, and said in unison: "We swear to follow the boss until death."
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he gave these bandits food to get them to come back, he also needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Unfortunately, Zhao Si is that chicken.
The combination of big sticks and sweet treats was enough to make these bandits loyal to him.
Once these bandits' bodies recover, we can start some basic training.
Pei Zhong said that Pei Feng wanted to kill him. Whether it was true or not, he had to prepare for it.
