The expression on Jiang Yu’s face became increasingly distorted as he clutched the broken sword in his hand and lunged at Chu Jinnian.
“What do you know?”
“Do you know what it feels like to be nearly hacked to death on the battlefield, do you know the pain of being trampled on by a horse, do you know the sadness when seeing friends and relatives die before your eyes one by one?”
“You don’t understand, you don’t understand at all!”
-All you know is to act high and mighty, pointing fingers with no knowledge that the peace of this land under your feet is bought with our blood and lives!”
“I want to kill you, kill all you corrupt officials!”
Jiang Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, and he roared righteously in anger, spewing blood from his mouth due to excessive grinding of his teeth. His ferocious face, now marked with blood, was terrifying.
Chu Jinnian glanced at him, sheathed his sword, and casually handed it to Jing
Zhao, “Take care of this.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Jing Zhao took the long sword and dealt with Jiang Yu with his knife.
Although Jiang Yu, the former centurion, was a valiant fighter with strength and agility, Jing Zhao was Chu Jinnian’s top aide and managed to knock Jiang Yu to the ground in just two moves, his knife resting on his neck.
The anger and indignation that Jiang Yu had previously felt vanished with the
cold touch at his neck.
His face turned pale, and he pleaded, “Spare me, young hero, I will not dare to
do so again…”
“Just like my Young Master said, you are indeed a bully who only targets the weak and fears the strong, and you crave for life.” Jing Zhao, who despised
Jiang Yu, kicked him unconscious.
Liu Er, who was holding the bow and arrows, had been terrified by the ongoing events. He regained his senses and quickly pulled an arrow from the quiver on
his back.
Jing Zhao sneered, drew a throwing knife from his waist, and threw it swiftly.
The knife hit Liu Er’s wrist accurately. He yelped in pain and dropped the arrow.
“Tie these two up, along with the other three culprits from earlier, and take them to the County Government Office. Hand them over to Magistrate Xu. The unconscious people in these two carriages should also be taken care of by Magistrate Xu so that he can help them find their families.”
Jing Zhao ordered his two subordinates, “Moreover, instruct Magistrate Xu to track down who Jiang Yu has traded the people for and where those people might have ended up, and try to find them as much as possible so that they can be reunited with their families.”
“Yes.” The two servants who accompanied them agreed and hurried off to carry out Jing Zhao’s instructions.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao put away Chu Jinnian’s long sword and turned around, “Subordinate has arranged everything, Young Master, should we…”
Huh, where’s the Young Master?
Jing Zhao noticed that Chu Jinnian was gone, and he could vaguely hear the faint sound of a horse’s hooves fading into the distance.
It seemed that Chu Jinnian had already left.
Indeed, since Manager Zhuang had been drugged and was unconscious, they needed to find a clean and comfortable place for her to rest as soon as possible.
They also needed to hurry back once this matter was handled.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao hurriedly mounted his horse, spurred his horse, and went to catch up with Chu Jinnian.
At this time, Chu Jinnian was squeezing his horse to go a little faster.
But if the horse goes too fast, it can be bumpy; it made the unconscious Zhuang Qingning frown in her sleep.
This frown made Chu Jinnian feel extremely uncomfortable. He had to slow down a little, use his other hand to fully support Zhuang Qingning, and let the horse move slowly forward.
It was quiet at night, with silence all around.
