Chapter 123 Eliminating Jin Sanzhong
When asked about the cause of the fire, Mr. Zhang looked bewildered. "I don't know what happened. These two families suddenly caught fire, and not a single one escaped. It must have been because they drank too much at the end of the year and didn't put away the candles properly."
Song Liyun's heart skipped a beat. She didn't say anything more to Old Man Zhang, but left the crowd and found a place where no one would notice her to climb over the courtyard wall.
At this time, the cotton curtains on the doors and windows of Xue Zhuang's house were already engulfed in flames, and only the crackling sound of burning dry wood could be heard.
The room was dead silent. Song Liyun took out a piece of fire cotton, put it on her head, and rushed into the sea of fire.
The room was filled with thick smoke, and the tables, chairs, and benches were all on fire. I could vaguely see a person curled up on the kang, motionless, and his figure was very petite.
Song Liyun's heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that Xu Yan'er was dead?
She hated this woman.
But to say how deep the hatred is is not enough.
Especially after Xu Yan'er was beaten by me in the street, she basically avoided me whenever she saw me.
There was no one else in the room, and Xue Zhuang was not there.
Song Liyun went forward and touched the person on the kang. The person was just unconscious, but still breathing.
If he didn't save her, Xu Yan'er would either be burned to death or suffocated to death by the thick smoke.
Listening to the noise outside, Song Liyun felt something in her heart.
She took out all four corpses in the space and threw them into the corner of the room, then added some firewood on the corpses. Then she carried the people on the kang and slipped out of the room.
The fire in the house grew more and more intense, and finally it collapsed...
Another house was also on fire, and there were several people standing in the yard.
Xue Zhuang's face was hideous, covered in smoke and dust, his hair was burnt, and his clothes were torn to pieces by the fire.
At this moment, he was tied up and lying on the ground, cursing angrily: "You bandits, you have lost all conscience and you will die a horrible death."
He gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He was at home just now when Jin Sanchong brought people in and knocked him down when he was off guard. He also knocked Xu Yan'er unconscious and set the house on fire.
Jin Sanzhong came over with a bloody arm drooping, leaning over, and kicked Xue Zhuang. He chuckled, "Don't you rely on being a member of the garrison to show off your power every day? Now you're being arrogant!"
Xue Zhuang's eyes were bloodshot: "I will kill you!"
The other two came over with knives in hand: "Jin Sanzhong, stop talking nonsense, we are going to pick up Tang Xiang and the others."
Suijin Town is now poor. They robbed several houses and only found a dozen taels of silver.
Fortunately, this is not the purpose of this trip. As long as we succeed in getting him from Tang Xiang, we can send him to places with big farms and sell him for a good price.
Jin Sanzhong spat at Xue Zhuang again, then turned to the other side: "What should we do with these people? We can't take them away anyway, so let's just kill them all!"
In the corner of the courtyard wall, there were five or six young men, but their hands and feet were tied at this time, and their faces were full of fear and horror.
Some of them were cursing, "Jin Sanchong, it was you who colluded with the bandits and brought in the Di people. Now that the garrison has been attacked, it's you who stabbed us in the back, you bastard who forgot your ancestors. We won't let you go even if we go to hell."
Jin Sanzhong didn't object. He just walked over to him, lowered his voice and whispered a sinister smile in his ear: "Master Huang, don't think I don't know that you're taking advantage of me and cheating on me. I'm just waiting for the chance to kill you."
Huang Changsheng was horrified when he saw what he had done was discovered: "Your wife was starving, and I was saving her."
"Save her? I'd rather starve to death than let you save her!" Jin Sanchong roared, and without hesitation stabbed the dagger in his hand into Huang Changsheng's heart.
Huang Changsheng's eyes bulged instantly, his body twisted in vain, and then he lay down limply.
The men nearby were shocked. They didn't know why Jin Sanchong suddenly killed someone. They kept cursing and their bodies were shaking.
It is human instinct to fear death.
Although they wanted to pounce on the bandits and bite them a few times, they were naturally afraid because their hands and feet were tied and they saw people dying in front of them.
Jin Sanzhong pulled the knife out of Huang Changsheng and looked at these people coldly: "You all look down on me..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard two thuds from Xue Zhuang's side, followed by two screams.
Jin Sanchong suddenly turned back and saw Lai Zi and the man Tang Xiang brought with him lying on the ground.
They were knocked to the ground by two wooden stakes as big as bowls and were trying to get up in a panic.
Song Liyun climbed on the top of the wall, threw down two pieces of firewood from a high position, and immediately turned over and climbed down the wall, landing next to Xue Zhuang.
He slashed the knife up and down, cutting the ropes.
Xue Zhuang was still in shock at this time.
The two men were about to throw themselves into the fire when they were knocked over by a thick wooden stick that suddenly hit them.
Now seeing Song Liyun cut the rope again, he was suddenly overjoyed, as if he had been reborn.
This is not the time to talk.
Song Liyun had already left him and rushed forward, picking up the knife that had fallen off the ground. She asked in a deep voice, "Xue Zhuang, can you still use the knife?"
"able!"
Xue Zhuang turned over and took the knife.
Shame, anger, fear, terror, and guilt made his blood boil, and his young wife at home had already been burned to death...
No matter how ignorant that woman was, I married her seriously.
With the big knife in hand, Xue Zhuang instantly turned into a mad dog. He killed the panicked beggar with three slashes and forced the bandits brought by Tang Xiang into the fire with five slashes.
This sudden change made Jin Sanchong unable to recover for a while. When he regained consciousness, a knife was already on his neck.
There was a strangled voice in my ear: "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you come anyway!"
Jin Sanzhong's head exploded with a buzzing sound, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
These words were like a spell, echoing in his ears and keeping him awake every night.
Not to mention the few people in the corner of the yard who had just been freed and tore Jin Sanchong into pieces alive.
When Song Liyun returned the unconscious Xu Yan'er, who was left at the foot of the wall, to Xue Zhuang, Xue Zhuang's eyes flushed red as he knelt on one knee: "Miss Song, I swear to be loyal to you until death and will never betray you. If you break your oath, you will be mutilated!"
"good!"
Song Liyun answered casually.
It was just a coincidence that she went to Xue Zhuang's house to rescue Xu Yan'er. In fact, she just wanted to find Xue Zhuang to hold him accountable for the attack on her house and the injury of Hei Jin.
Saving Xue Zhuang now would be convenient, but Jin Sanchong was her target, for that woman and for herself.
Of course Xue Zhuang wanted to thank him, and he would not refuse.
There was basically no danger in the town. Song Liyun looked towards the guard post, but she felt anxious.
The fire in the town has been going on for so long, why haven’t the soldiers come yet?
If the Di people really invade, what’s the point of saving these people? I’d better take everyone and run away quickly!
When Xue Zhuang saw that Song Liyun had no reaction to his declaration of loyalty, he felt embarrassed and his face turned red. This showed that Song Liyun did not trust him.
He could only curse himself for being so stupid before, and he would have to show his ability slowly in the future.
"Xue Xiaoqi, what happened in the military camp?"
Song Liyun was just about to go to the garrison to see what was going on when she suddenly remembered that Xue Zhuang was a member of the military camp. He was not panicking at all at this moment and must know what was happening over there.
Xue Zhuang, upon hearing Song Liyun's question, quickly replied, "The guards only blew a whistle to warn of the enemy. The fire over there was also a bonfire for the city defense, used for lighting... So, it's probably just a drill."
