Chapter 52: Being fooled
"Black Bull, great grandfather, it's Black Bull!"
"That's Xiao Liuzi!"
…
Soon, there were cries of grief from the crowd, and it was obvious that they had recognized the people who had been killed on the ox cart. Especially after hearing the words of the man in black, the people were left with only fear and anxiety.
"Sir, please save them, save my poor child! "
"My lord, my two children cannot live without a father, my lord!"
"grown ups……"
There came a heart-wrenching cry for plea in his ears, especially since the people in front of him were all old, weak, women and children, the voices seemed even more sad, making Shen Yu inevitably a little impatient and reluctant.
The black-clad man on the opposite side smiled lightly when he saw this scene, with a smug look on his face. The host's heart-breaking strategy was really powerful. The young and strong men who were captured were the pillars of the family hall. Without the pillars, the family would collapse. Naturally, these people were more anxious than one another.
Especially when only the elderly, weak, women and children were left, they were more likely to be emotional and cry more sadly. Seeing this miserable appearance, even a heartless person like me felt a little soft-hearted.
"Asshole!" Zhou Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes wide open, and looked at the black-clad man opposite him fiercely. "How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid of the imperial army?"
"The imperial army? Haha! Can the fate of refugees in the disaster years also be told?" As if he heard something funny, the man in black laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and looked at Zhou Yuan as if he was looking at a fool.
"The imperial court will not send out experts for a few refugees. Moreover, these refugees are destabilizing factors. If we kill some of them, maybe the imperial court will thank us!"
"You, you bastards!" Holding the hilt of the knife, Zhou Yuan was waiting for Shen Yu's order to rush out and fight to the death. However, Shen Yu did not speak, but looked at the other party quietly.
"Hey, it seems that Master Shen doesn't want to save them. It doesn't matter. It's up to you whether to save them or not. Anyway, we will kill ten people every incense stick of time. We will keep our word!"
"Sir, please, sir, please have mercy!" After hearing the words of the man in black, the remaining women and children immediately became anxious and kowtowed to Shen Yu desperately, begging him to bring the person back quickly. Killing ten people every incense stick, no one knew whether it would be their turn in the next moment.
Those are the pillars of their family. If the pillars are gone, how will their family survive?
"Enough!" An old man trembled and walked out of the crowd, pointing at everyone and shouting, "The adults gave you food, so that you can have enough food and get money. This is such a great favor. If it weren't for the adults, your family would have starved a long time ago!"
"What are you doing now? It would be fine if you don't know how to repay the kindness, but you are forcing the adults. Look at what you are like. Get out of here!"
"Old man, you're looking for death!" Seeing the old man who suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation, a murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he quietly pinched a silver needle in his hand.
"Bastard!" At this moment, his hand suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword, and murderous intent flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, causing the black-clothed man on the opposite side who was about to take action to stop abruptly.
The murderous aura that was as solid as a substance made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with a bone-chilling coldness spreading all over his body. It also made him feel as if he would be struck by thunder if he moved.
Such a strong murderous aura, such a terrifying master, how could such a person be just a ninth-rank county magistrate!
"Sir Shen, since I dare to come here, I am not afraid of life or death!" Without wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the man in black gritted his teeth and said, "But Sir Shen, the master said that if I can't go back, he will kill a hundred people to bury me. I don't care!"
"Sir Shen, you have to think it over carefully. We will kill ten people every incense stick of time. After killing this batch, we will capture the next batch until Sir Shen is willing to reward us. Sir Shen also knows that the lives of refugees are worthless these days, and they are everywhere!"
"You!" Before Shen Yu could say anything, Zhou Yuan next to him couldn't help it anymore. He drew the knife from his waist and wanted to rush forward immediately, but was stopped by Shen Yu.
"Enough, back off!" Waving his hand, Shen Yu looked at him coldly, making him tremble all over, feeling cold all over, but still holding on without giving in. He knew that if he gave in, he would definitely not survive here.
"Go back and tell your boss that I, Shen Yu, will be here soon. Tell him to clean his neck and wait!"
"Okay, I will definitely convey Lord Shen's words. I will take my leave now!" After looking up at Shen Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and left as fast as he could.
Although he appeared to be fearless, his legs were actually weak. If he didn't leave quickly, he might not be able to leave later. Who knows if the other party will change his mind? This time was too dangerous. It was no accident that so many masters suffered at the hands of this person!
Shen Yu quietly watched the other person's departing back without saying a word, and his face was even more unclear.
"Sir?" Seeing Shen Yu's current appearance, Zhou Yuan guessed a little bit, and couldn't help but asked softly with some concern, "Sir, you don't really want to go, do you?"
"Go, why not? They have already dug a trap. If I don't go, wouldn't it be very disrespectful!" Shen Yu snorted, and murderous intent burst out of his eyes. For just 300,000 taels, this group of people dared to be so cruel, which made him want to kill them!
Moreover, these people did not dare to attack directly, which was enough to say that they did not have enough strength to crush them, so they could only think of some crooked ways. However, Shen Yu had the poison-avoiding jade beads in his hand, which could dispel most of the poisons. Even those extremely fierce poisons could be suppressed, so that they would not take effect in an instant.
In addition, he now has the Red Eyed Ice Toad, which can cure all kinds of poisons, so there are probably not many poisons in the world that can hurt him. Moreover, the Red Eyed Ice Toad is a treasure in itself. No matter how severe the internal injuries or knife wounds are, as long as the person does not die on the spot, the injury will be healed immediately after taking the Ice Toad. It can be called a panacea.
With his Qinggong skills, it would not be difficult for him to escape if there was any danger. He also had pills to restore his internal strength and many treasures, so he had enough confidence. As long as he was not facing an absolutely overwhelming top master, even if he could not defeat him, he could still escape smoothly.
It was precisely because he had enough confidence that he dared to take the risk. Otherwise, he might have really thought about it before making a decision.
"My Lord, think twice!"
"Sir, you can't go. For the lives of us lowly people, you must not put yourself in danger!" Several old men in the crowd came up tremblingly with crutches, still with a bit of sadness on their faces. When they arrived next to Shen Yu, they knelt down with a plop.
"Sir, you are a good official and should benefit more people. We, the untouchables, will die if we die. Sir, please take care of yourself!"
"Old man, you can't do this!" Several old men who looked to be at least in their seventies or eighties were still kneeling before him. Shen Yu didn't think he could bear it, so he quickly helped them up.
But at this moment, the two old men that Shen Yu had supported on his left and right suddenly raised their heads and grabbed his arms tightly. Their strength was so great that even Shen Yu himself was a little surprised. These two people seemed to be born with supernatural powers. Their internal strength might not be strong, but their strength was definitely amazing.
"Oh no, I've been fooled !"
