Volume 1, Chapter 42: Kill one person every ten steps

Mei Xian's head was buzzing. This bastard actually asked his mother to come and drink with these crude soldiers.

This is simply a humiliation to him.

What's the difference between this and cursing 'that person's mother'?

"Asshole!"

"Fuck you..."

Mei Xian's face was ferocious. Ever since his father became the lord of the county here, who within his father's jurisdiction dared to talk to him like this?

Bai Qi's face turned cold, and without waiting for Mei Xian to finish his words, he slapped him hard.

"Snap!"

Several of Mei Xian's teeth were knocked out, and his face was shaking with pain.

He was filled with grief and indignation. If eyes could kill, Bai Qi would have been cut into pieces by now.

“Do not do to others what you do not want

others do to you!” “That’s how those poor people at the bottom feel when you bully others!”

“The soldiers are fighting for their country, but you dare to touch their families. Die!”

Bai Qi drew the sword from his waist, murderous intent boiling in his eyes.

"Wait!"

At this time, Meng Feiyu shouted anxiously, "He is the son of the county magistrate, he can't be killed!"

He stepped forward and grabbed Bai Qi's arm tightly.

"Get out!"

Bai Qi swung his hand, and the huge force threw Meng Feiyu directly into the air, causing him to fall onto the banquet table, with soup and oil stains all over him.

When the woman in gorgeous clothes saw Bai Qi subdue Meng Feiyu so easily, a burning flame of love for Bai Qi ignited in her heart.

This should be the boy who can conquer her.

The village elders and headmen all came up to try to persuade Bai Qi not to kill anyone.

Mei Xian was overjoyed to see so many people fearing his power.

He shouted at Bai Qi: "Haha, do you dare to kill me? You don't dare! If you kill me, your relatives, elders and fellow villagers will all be in trouble!"

He had already thought of how to take revenge on Bai Qi, revenge on Miao'er, and revenge on everyone here!

"Really?"

Bai Qi glanced at the idiot indifferently, and then at Meng Feiyu's unwillingness, at the shock of the woman in gorgeous clothes, and at the desperate eyes of the elders and villagers.

Without hesitation, he thrust the sword inch by inch into Mei Xian's chest.

Every time the cold sword penetrated a little deeper, a trickle of blood spurted out of Mei Xian's mouth.

Endless regret filled Mei Xian's heart, and severe pain spread throughout her body.

He was unwilling and horrified,

and finally, he died in agony, with his eyes open!

"Bang!"

The cold corpse was thrown to the ground by Bai Qi like a torn sack.

The whole place was in dead silence!

Meng Feiyu widened his eyes, unable to believe that Bai Qi would dare to kill someone.

The elders' faces changed drastically, as if a disaster was about to happen.

The woman in gorgeous clothes had a burning gaze and became more and more interested in Bai Qi.

Miao'er pursed her red lips and tightly grasped Bai Qi's arm, muttering, "Brother Bai Qi, it's Miao's fault. I've caused you trouble."

"It's okay, he's just a scum, just kill him, it's no trouble."

Bai Qi stroked the girl's hair, gently and doting.

"Hahaha..."

At this time, a sneer was heard, and Meng Feiyu pointed at Bai Qi and said, "Kill him if you want. It's easy for you to say it, but you killed the son of the county magistrate."

"If the county magistrate takes revenge, all the elders and villagers of Heifenggou will be buried with him!"

"You are the sinner of the whole village!"

Meng Feiyu's words made Miao'er's face change drastically.

Bai Qi's eyes turned cold, and he turned around and slapped Meng Feiyu without hesitation.

"Pa!"

Meng Feiyu was slapped and flew away, falling heavily to the ground.

"Rubbish!"

Bai Qi said angrily: "As a captain of a thousand men, you saw someone bullying the families of soldiers, but you turned a blind eye and did nothing. How dare you yell at me here?"

Meng Feiyu did not dare to fight back, and said angrily: "You took action because Mei Xian wanted to bully your fiancée, right?"

Bai Qi laughed and said disdainfully: "I won't be as timid as you. If Mei Xian touches anyone today, I will not let him go!"

"Including your woman!"

"I want everyone to know that the families of soldiers who fight for the country must not be humiliated!"

Bai Qi's voice was sonorous and powerful, which made the woman in gorgeous clothes feel warm in her heart. This was the fearless young man in her mind!

"Well said!"

The young people in Heifenggou felt their blood boiling.

Who would be willing to be bullied when they were young?

Who hasn't dreamed of traveling the world with a sword when he was young?

Who doesn't want to put an end to all injustice in the world when they are young?

"Oh!"

Only the older elders of the tribe could imagine how dangerous this place is.

Once, someone from the neighboring village offended a constable from the county government. As a result, all the houses in the village were burned down by bandits overnight.

In the end, 90% of the young and old in the village died of starvation and freezing.

Meng Feiyu grinned and said, "Bai Qi, if you have the guts, don't run away and don't implicate your fellow villagers. If you have the guts, just wait for the magistrate of Mei County to come!"

"Okay! I'll stay here and see what he can do?"

Bai Qi pulled Miao'er to sit down, then took out an ingot of silver, bowed to the elders and said, "Please ask the elders to help prepare some wine and food. Today, everyone will not go home until they are drunk!"

Meng Feiyu was so angry that his nose was crooked. Bai Qi simply ignored him.

.........

Three hours later.

While Meng Feiyu was anxiously waiting and the elders were restless, the magistrate of Mei County finally arrived.

Behind him, he brought more than thirty bailiffs and constables from the entire county.

Not only that, but hundreds of soldiers stationed in the county government were also mobilized.

"My son!"

Magistrate Mei burst into tears when he saw his son's body.

Then, he pointed at Bai Qi angrily and said, "Come here, capture him!"

"Who dares?"

Da Zhuang pointed his spear angrily, "If you want to touch my general, you must step over my dead body!"

Erniu, Heiwa and others also drew their swords, full of murderous intent.

"You dare to resist arrest?"

The magistrate of Mei County had not expected that these people would be so bold. "Come here, capture them all. Anyone who dares to stop us will be punished like Bai Qi!"

Thirty constables drew their swords, and a hundred soldiers drew their bows and drew their arrows.

The elders and villagers of Heifenggou were so scared that they avoided it one after another.

Meng Feiyu felt relieved. Bai Qi was doomed.

But at this moment, Bai Qi was still picking up vegetables for Miao'er with his chopsticks, without even turning his head. He

just said lightly: "Mei County Magistrate, you want to arrest people without asking any questions. Is this how you act as a county magistrate? I'll give you a quarter of an hour to figure out the situation before you speak!"

The head of the village gritted his teeth and defended Bai Qi, "Your Excellency, your son was indeed at fault in this matter. We can all testify to it!"

Mei County Magistrate raised his hand and slapped him in the face, angrily saying, "I am the county magistrate here. Whoever I say is at fault is at fault!"

Miao'er, the head of the village, and the elders and villagers of Heifenggou all turned red with anger. These powerful people were bullying them so wantonly.

And they still have to keep smiling.

This is the sadness of being at the bottom of society.

Bai Qi's smile faded, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, he turned around and said: "Mei County Magistrate, now that you say that, it seems like your life will end here!"

Meng Feiyu, the woman in gorgeous clothes, was shocked. Is Bai Qi going to fight the county magistrate like this?

There are more than a hundred people on the opposite side, but he only has six!

The Mei County Magistrate had a ferocious look on his face: "Okay, okay, I'll see how you make me die here!"

"Come here, capture Bai Qi for me. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

The more Bai Qi refuses to cooperate, the easier it will be for him to kill people.

The hundred soldiers had their bows drawn to the limit, waiting for Bai Qi to make any move so that they could shoot him into a sieve.

However, at this moment, a shrill voice rang out: "Stop! The emperor's order has arrived!"

Everyone looked back and saw another group of people coming on the road, led by a eunuch.

"Quick, quick, put down your weapons and welcome the emperor's envoy!"

When the magistrate of Mei County heard that it was the emperor's order, he immediately restrained his murderous aura like a loyal dog, and the most cordial smile appeared on his face. He went to greet him with his teacher and others.

Before the man even approached the eunuch, he immediately knelt on the ground, his appearance of servility was even more excessive than that of Song Jiang.

The eunuch simply ignored him. He was just a small seventh-rank county magistrate, not even as good as a dog in the palace. He arrogantly walked past County Magistrate Mei.

Then he walked up to the elders and folks of Heifenggou, cleared his throat, and said in a sharp voice:

"The emperor's decree:"

"People of Heifenggou, accept the order!"

Swish, swish, swish, all the folks of Heifenggou knelt on the ground.

Miao'er was about to kneel down with everyone else, but Bai Qi held Miao'er and continued to eat leisurely at the table.

"How dare you! The emperor has issued an order, but you still don't kneel to receive it?"

Seeing Bai Qi being so unruly and disrespectful to the emperor, the magistrate of Mei County immediately started to scold him.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped hard by the eunuch, "Shut up! General Bai Qi, how can you scold me?"

Then the eunuch bowed to Bai Qi and said, "General Bai Qi, please feel free to sit down and listen."

This!

The magistrate of Mei County had a buzzing head.

Is this still the eunuch who bullies the local people?

Why does it feel like a dog in your own home?

Meng Feiyu also opened his mouth wide. He knelt on the ground, humble and pious, but Bai Qi sat there and treated the emperor's order as shit.

The elders and villagers of Heifenggou were so shocked that they were speechless.

This is the emperor’s decree, and this is the eunuch who conveys the decree!

How could they know the fear of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict? Bai Qi, this gentleman, dared to beat an angel and chop up the imperial edict into pieces. He was actually very panicked.

The woman in gorgeous clothes had envy in her eyes. She really wished she could sit next to Bai instead of Miao'er.

At this moment, the eunuch had already begun reading the imperial edict.

"Bai Qi fought hard against the Huns and made great contributions to the country. The people of Heifenggou took care of Bai Qi for three years and cultivated pillars for the country. Everyone has made a contribution!"

"The emperor has specially decreed that Heifenggou be exempted from corvee labor, military service, and taxes for three years!"

Boom -

the folks of Heifenggou were excited.

"This is returning home in glory!"

"This is having a great future!"

"I didn't expect that we would be exempted from taxes for another three years."

At this moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Miao'er's family. This is what it means to recognize a person with a discerning eye.

Grandpa Miaoer couldn't close his mouth because of smiling.

"How could it be, how could it be!"

Meng Feiyu's face looked ugly. Didn't Bai Qi have a reward already?

Why do you still have to be so kind to others?

He didn't know that the Emperor of Zhou had spent some money to make Bai Qi willingly die.

The magistrate of Mei County turned pale and had a bad feeling in his heart.

But he was not afraid, because he was an official appointed by the imperial court.

What can Bai Qi do to himself?

I am acting in accordance with the law.

However, the next words from the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict made him feel scared to death!

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict walked up to Bai Qi, respectfully handed the imperial edict to Bai Qi and said: "General Bai Qi, please don't chop this imperial edict into pieces. And don't beat the angel again. My body can't take it!"

"Okay, got it." Bai Qi responded indifferently. This imperial edict was the evidence of tax exemption. How could he destroy it?

Chop up the imperial edict?

Beating angels?

Everyone looked at Bai Qi in horror. How dare you? How dare you?

The most important thing is, you beat him up, but this eunuch still remained so servile to you. How powerful are you?

Mei County Magistrate's entire body was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Bai Qi stood up and walked towards the magistrate of Mei County step by step. He said lightly: "Your son bullied the soldiers' families and was killed by me with one sword. Do you accept it?"

The magistrate of Mei County looked like he was constipated and said humbly: "I accept it, I accept it!"

After saying this, he seemed to be drained of his energy.

The villagers of Heifenggou simply couldn't believe their ears. This was revenge for the murder of their son, and the Mei County magistrate was going to take over the matter?

The constables from the county were also terrified. This Bai Qi was definitely a great god and they could not afford to offend him!

The woman in gorgeous clothes looked like she was spitting fire from her eyes. What would happen if Meng Feiyu became a captain of a thousand men?

Even if Meng Feiyu becomes a general in the future, would he dare to be so domineering and reckless?

The look she gave Bai Qi was full of aggression, which made Meng Feiyu next to her feel green on his head.

Meng Feiyu roared: "Bai Qi, even if you can subdue the magistrate of Mei County today, what can it do? Once you leave, the magistrate of Mei County will not take revenge on the villagers?"

"You still harmed the villagers of Heifenggou!"

"You harmed all those who have done you a favor!"

Meng Feiyu's words made the villagers of Heifenggou turn pale.

The magistrate of Mei County also lowered his head and remained silent. What Meng Feiyu said was of course what he thought in his heart.

It is inevitable that someone would bear a grudge if his son was killed. But now he has to bow his head under someone's roof. In the future, he will definitely kill someone to vent his anger.

He had ten thousand ways to kill all the people in Heifenggou!

He wants these people to be buried with his son!

Miao'er also had an ugly look on his face, and the head of the village and others looked even more sad and angry. This is the sorrow of the people at the bottom of society.

If someone hits you, you have to face them with a smile. If you resist, you may be beaten even worse.

This is the difference between the powerful and the lower class, and it is also the reason why the powerful are the powerful.

Bai Qi laughed loudly, drew out his sword again, and said firmly: "So, today I will cut the weeds and eradicate them completely!"

"You, what are you doing?" The magistrate of Mei County was scared to death and stumbled to his feet.

"Of course I'll kill you!"

Bai Qi's eyes were cold, holding a bloody sword, and he walked towards the Mei County Magistrate step by step.

"I am an official appointed by the court. I am a civil official. Even if I am guilty, only the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple can try me. You can't kill me!"

"You are trying to assassinate an official appointed by the court!"

Mei County Magistrate shouted in horror.

Bai Qi laughed cruelly: "Then let the Emperor of Zhou sentence me to death!"

Since the moment he received the imperial edict, he no longer had any awe towards the Emperor of Zhou.

At this moment, anyone who dares to provoke him will be killed!

He won't leave any hidden dangers.

"Quick, protect me!" Mei County Magistrate called out to the constables, but the constables who used to obey his orders now avoided him as if he were the plague.

Bai Qi swept his sword and the head of Mei County Magistrate flew up.

Meixian magistrate is dead!

"Now no one should dare to embarrass the folks anymore!"

Bai Qi wiped his sword on the clothes of the chief constable, scaring the constables so much that they fell to their knees, shaking like Parkinson's patients.

"Whoever dares to offend my Heifenggou again will suffer the same fate!"

Bai Qi warned everyone coming from the county with his cold eyes. Then he put his arm around Miao'er's slender waist and said with a smile, "Miao'er, come on, I have something good to give you."

Having said that, he left without caring about other people's reactions.

Only the crowd was left in shock.

Meng Feiyu's face turned pale and he stared at all this in a daze. Bai Qi was too cruel. He was really trying to wipe out the whole thing!

The people from the county town and the villagers of Heifenggou all looked at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. He had the highest status here.

Bai Qi killed court officials so unscrupulously, shouldn't the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict express any opinion?

Who would have thought that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict almost jumped up with joy, and shouted excitedly: "What a ruthless and decisive, what a young general who hates evil."

"I must report this to the princess. Only such a young hero is worthy of the princess!"

He waved his sleeves and ordered: "Throw this Magistrate Mei and his son into the mass grave. Don't dirty other people's land! By the way, tell someone to investigate the illegal deeds of Magistrate Mei. General Bai Qi must get rid of this harm to the people!"

The words of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict shocked everyone.

Meng Feiyu was filled with grief and indignation. You didn’t see that Bai Qi killed people for no reason, and yet you still had to clean up the mess for him.

But Meng Feiyu didn't know that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was impressed by Bai Qi's determination to kill people.

The princess has instructed that the more arrogant Bai Qi becomes, the more he must be won over.

Because Princess Anyang didn't want to be trampled upon by the Huns.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the villagers of Heifenggou were still in shock and could not recover for a long time.

An elder of the tribe said with emotion: "I'm afraid a dragon is about to appear in our Heifenggou!"

The dragon soars above the nine heavens, just like the phoenix, the totem of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a legendary mythical beast!

At this moment, in the thatched hut, Miao'er was shy, lowered her head, gently stirred the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother Baiqi, what do you want to do..."
