Chapter 758: Life-threatening? I'm waiting
Amidst the clamor, where one had to get very close and shout at the top of their lungs to hear what the other person was saying, the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps seemed unusually abrupt.
Old Man Hua turned his head helplessly and looked around. The first thing that caught his eye was the cold and intimidating light emitted by the sharpened blade.
A large number of people who arrived were covered in cold rain, and the weapons in their hands were terrifying and murderous.
There were many people and the footsteps were heavy.
Like a silent cold tide, it swept over from the first place where the blade was exposed.
The awe-inspiring and noisy atmosphere blended and collided. The people at the outermost edge were the first to see the posture of the person coming, and they were so shocked that they stopped shouting and yelling.
For a moment, the scene was almost silent.
Rongchang and his friends ran over on foot, and were much slower than Sang Zhixia and his friends along the way.
But running has advantages that riding a horse cannot match.
For example, on the road, I met many people who were running back in a hurry with things in their arms, and I also ran into many people who were rushing towards the ferry.
Few words from hearsay are enough.
When Rongchang arrived, he raised his hand and gestured to the endless line of people behind him to stop, then quickly ran to Sang Zhixia and said, "Boss, what do you think?"
"Surround the ferry."
Sang Zhixia said without hesitation: "Send half of the people to surround the entire ferry with knives, and don't let anyone take a step forward."
"yes!"
Rongchang quickly responded and made a few gestures. Sang Zhixia added coldly, "Anyone who disobeys or trespasses will be strangled on the spot. Show no mercy."
When the people present heard this, their hearts were shocked, and almost all their eyes were focused on Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia's face was cold and pale as he spoke slowly and slowly, "The remaining men will split up into teams and drive away all those who have entered the ferry."
"These people are not allowed to take out any of the loot they have taken. No matter what they have looted, place it all above the exit. No one is allowed to take it away!"
Rongchang's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he bared his teeth and said, "Understood!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
Well-trained soldiers are different from ordinary guards. The effect of their actions is immediate.
The originally chaotic crowd was dispersed and intimidated, and those who dared to resist were frightened to the point of being weakened by the unsheathed cold blade.
Those who arrived in time tore a path through the crowd, and there was silence on both sides.
The rain seemed to be much lighter at this time, and it was so quiet that one could hear Sang Zhixia's footsteps.
Sang Zhixia took off her rain hat, took the umbrella held open by Hua Shan, and walked over step by step. Amidst her sobs suppressed by fear, she said word by word: "The ferry is unsafe and could be flooded at any time. You all know this."
"otherwise……"
"No one would be so bold tonight. They're throwing away their good life and rushing out to commit thieves and bandits."
Chen Jing'an and others followed closely beside Sang Zhixia. When they noticed someone was quickly hiding something on his body, Chen Jing'an's eyes turned slightly cold.
"You'd better hand over whatever you stole and hid now."
Chen Jingan tilted his head slightly and smiled gracefully: "Otherwise, I will break your claws right now."
The person being targeted shuddered violently, but he refused to give up and took out the thing he had taken. His lips trembled repeatedly, and he stiffened his neck and shouted, "Who said I took anything?"
"These are all mine!"
"your?"
Chen Jing'an uttered a sigh, and his body moved without warning, as fast as a ghost.
"Uh uh uh… Ngh!"
"Wouldn't it be better to be obedient?"
Chen Jingan grabbed the man's neck with one hand, lifted him up from thin air, and said lightly, "I don't like to say the same thing twice."
"If you don't want to die here before the flood comes, then be a good boy. Do you understand?"
As Chen Jing'an spoke, he turned around and threw the person towards an empty space. With a few crisp clangs, a few pieces of broken white jade appeared around the person who was thrown over.
Judging from the shape and carving, it is indeed a good product.
It is definitely not something this person has.
Chen Jing'an clapped his hands lazily and chuckled. Everyone whose gaze passed by him lowered their heads nervously.
When everyone's breathing became lighter, Sang Zhixia couldn't hide her sarcasm and said, "Didn't they say they were worried about the flood and that they wouldn't have food to eat, so they came to rob?"
"If you don't want to grab rice and flour, you're going to grab the jade pendant?"
This is ultimately a matter of survival.
Or is it greed?
The man who was nearly dying finally recovered a bit after a violent coughing fit. He fell to the ground, one hand covering his neck, the other pointing at Sang Zhixia, and shouted unconvincedly: "What do you care what I'm robbing?!"
"We all know that you are the boss of Sanyou Trading Company. We didn't steal your things. Why are you meddling in other people's business here?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?!"
"Are you a lackey of the Yan family or a servant of the Wei family? We..."
"presumptuous!"
A murderous look flashed across Ling Chu's face, and as he shouted, the blade of his sword split the rain curtain and fell down fiercely.
Almost no one around reacted in time, and what followed was a scream.
The man's hand pointing at Sang Zhixia was cut off along with the wrist, and the bloody hand rolled on the muddy ground. The man fainted instantly from the pain, but was kicked in the heart by Ling Chu and woke up again from the pain.
Ling Chu, with a cold face like the King of Hell, held up the blood-drenched knife and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you shout in front of the master?"
"If you dare to show any disrespect again, the next blow will be your head!"
The man was in excruciating pain, but he couldn't faint. He looked at Ling Chu with horror, and kicked the ground with his feet to try to move backwards, but unexpectedly, the same cold blade hit his back.
In just a short while, the ferry was roughly under control.
There are three layers in total, inside and outside, and the innermost and outermost layers are all people brought by Sang Zhixia.
A strong man with murderous aura and a blade that is icy cold.
The blood water kept falling into the muddy rainwater, and the people trapped in it even thought they had entered hell in a trance.
Those who were originally filled with dissatisfaction and wanted to join the man in resisting fell silent after seeing this.
The person who originally thought he was hiding something close to his body also stopped moving with shaking hands.
The shouting man's hand was broken, and he dared not speak again. Sang Zhixia's eyes were devoid of pity, only ridicule: "Do you think I want to delay your fortune?"
"Do you think you can get out of Nanyun?"
If this continues, countless people will be trampled to death here before the flood comes.
When the flood comes, no one will survive.
These people are so arrogant that they have such big heads. Are they all hollow?
Sang Zhixia raised the corner of her lips, not wanting to see this kind of person who was seeking death again. She looked at the trembling people calmly and said, "I've already said what I want to say."
"Put down what you stole. I mean anything. No one is allowed to take it out of here."
"Leave your things behind. Everyone must leave the ferry within half an hour."
"Of course, if you don't want to leave, that's fine."
Sang Zhixia fiddled with the tassels hanging from the umbrella handle and said calmly, "Cut off your hands and throw them into the river to feed the fish."
"When you meet a thief or a bandit, there's no need to be polite."
"If you die, you die. The fish at the bottom of the river never mind having too much food."
The man with the severed palm couldn't accept this outcome. With red eyes, he angrily said, "You will suffer retribution for this!"
"You treat human life as worthless and have no respect for the law! Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by wronged spirits at night?!"
"Demanding life?"
Sang Zhixia glanced at his pale face with a half-smile in her eyes and said disdainfully, "Okay."
"I'll wait."
"Someone, get started!"
