Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 552 Threat
Fast, ridiculously fast.
There is a distance between Lin Qianxing and Wen Renfang.
But the moment he opened the knife box, he rushed up with the knife.
Wen Renfang couldn't react at all, the gap between the two was too obvious.
"Boss~!"
The officers were all shocked when they saw this scene.
"What are you going to do... Killing an official is a capital crime!!" Wen Renfang said to Lin Qianxing with a trembling voice.
"Sir, I can't hold the knife very steadily. How about asking your brothers to release all the villagers and leave Xianliang Village?" Lin Qianxing said.
"Let's go, let's go, let the guy go!" Wen Renfang said hurriedly.
He has never been able to be tough.
With the knife at his neck, there was no way he would have the energy to abuse his power.
He is just thinking about saving his life now.
Seeing this, the other officers released the men and retreated into the distance .
Liu Chengliang was supported by someone and walked over. He looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Mr. Lin, this official, is there any misunderstanding between you? If there is a misunderstanding, can't we sit down and talk it out?"
As a native commoner, it was difficult for Liu Chengliang to remove his fear of officials.
As long as he put on the clothes of an official, he would subconsciously give in.
Even a despicable guy like Wen Renfang is the same.
"That's right, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! If you let me go, I can pretend that what happened today never happened. If something happens to me, the whole village will..." Wen Renfang said.
"Shut up!" Lin Qianxing tightened the knife in his hand, frightening Wen Renfang. Then Lin Qianxing said to Liu Chengliang, "Mr. Liu, I will take care of this matter, don't worry!"
After saying that, Lin Qianxing took Wen Ren hostage and headed out of the village.
As they walked, Lin Qianxing started asking Wen Renfang some questions.
"Who wanted to recruit soldiers?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"This is the imperial decree and has nothing to do with me..." Wen Renfang said.
"You just answer whatever I ask. You don't need to say anything more." Lin Qianxing said as he gently scraped Wen Renfang's Adam's apple with the blade of a knife.
"Hmm~!" Wen Renfang said with difficulty.
At this point his fear had reached its peak and he was almost about to pee.
"Who in the county government is responsible for this matter?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Xue, the Magistrate."
"name?"
"Xue Qingyang."
"Besides him?"
"No, he will take full charge of this matter. When the time comes, someone from the Ministry of War will come to take over the recruits and bring them to the battle..."
…
While asking, Lin Qianxing continued to come to the village entrance under the watchful eyes of the officials and villagers.
Lin Qianxing signaled the villagers to step back, then loosened the long knife in his hand and pushed Wen Renfang away.
"Go back and tell the county magistrate that it was me, [Green-tailed Snake] Lin Qianxing, who stopped this matter. Every grievance has its perpetrator, so don't let him find the wrong person." Lin Qianxing said.
After breaking away from Lin Qianxing's control, Wen Renfang gradually became bolder.
Wen Renfang hid behind the crowd, holding his neck, and said arrogantly: "Humph, you want to be a hero, right? How capable do you think you are? Just now you attacked me when I was not prepared, but now I have so many brothers, let's see what kind of waves you can make. Brothers, go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he commanded the officers and soldiers to rush towards Lin Qianxing.
When the villagers saw this scene, they were all shocked and worried for Lin Qianxing.
However, Lin Qianxing had anticipated this scene when he let go of Wen Renfang.
At this moment, he was about to do another thing.
It's called Liwei!!
People like Wen Renfang can never be killed off.
But once you establish your authority, they will remember it for a long time, even for a lifetime.
Lin Qianxing moved his feet, and the long sword in his hand was swept out with one hand, heading straight for one of them.
The knife was delivered with great force and speed, and the man only had time to raise the official knife in his hand to block it.
Clang!
With just a bump, the official sword was knocked away by Lin Qianxing.
The man also fell to the side with his arms trembling.
The two sides are not at the same level at all.
Lin Qianxing moved very fast, wielding the long sword in his hand, which was as long as his body, just right, perfectly blocking the attacks of those officers and soldiers. No one could be his match.
However, he did not take the lives of these officers and soldiers. He just knocked the knives out of their hands, leaving them some leeway.
This room was certainly not left for him, but for the villagers of Xianliang Village and the officers and soldiers themselves.
Seeing Lin Qianxing's sudden and unbelievable behavior, the villagers were stunned.
How could a group of country folk have ever seen such a scene?
Wen Renfang on the other side was even more dumbfounded. When he saw Lin Qianxing walking towards him, he wanted to run away immediately.
But how could his speed compare to Lin Qianxing's? In just two breaths, Lin Qianxing caught up with him, blocked his body with the back of his long sword, and knocked him to the ground.
Although he felt pain, facing Lin Qianxing holding a knife, Wen Renfang endured the pain and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Grandpa, spare me, Grandpa, spare me! I was blind and disturbed your leisure. I hope you will not bear grudges and don't take it to heart!"
"Take your people and get out of here. Remember to pass on my words." Lin Qianxing said.
Wen Renfang nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand!!"
Lin Qianxing nodded and said, "You can go now."
After he finished speaking, he stepped aside and allowed Wen Renfang and the others to pick up their weapons and leave.
Wen Renfang immediately ran like a rabbit, fearing that he would run too slowly.
The officers who were with him also quickly followed.
When Lin Qianxing saw that Wen Renfang had almost run away, he suddenly shook his wrist and a flying knife flew out rapidly.
Wow!
Wen Renfang's right ear was pierced by a flying knife, cutting off a large piece of flesh.
He cried out in pain but didn't dare look back, for fear that Lin Qianxing would shoot him in the head next time.
Only after watching the officials leave did Lin Qianxing breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Chengliang, supported by his son Liu Yong, came to Lin Qianxing and said, "Mr. Lin, you are in big trouble. You have offended the county government. What should we do?"
"Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry. I've said before that I will handle this matter and ensure that the village will not be implicated." Lin Qianxing said.
After making a brief promise, he returned to his residence.
Although some people wanted to come up and talk to him, the murderous aura on Lin Qianxing seemed to have returned at this time. They were a little scared and did not dare to come forward.
…
Wen Renfang returned to the county government office, treated the wound on his ear, and then reported Lin Qianxing's story to the county magistrate with exaggeration.
After hearing what Wen Renfang said, County Magistrate Xue Qingyang immediately shouted angrily: "You are a scoundrel! You are rebelling against him! You are a green-tailed snake? I don't know where this bastard came from, but he dared to run wild on my land! I will definitely send troops to encircle and capture him, and punish him severely to enforce the law!!"
"You are right, sir!" Wen Renfang echoed, "Such unruly people who do not respect the law should be made to know how powerful you are!"
"Okay, it's not easy for you either. Go get some money and treat your wound." Xue Qingyang said.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!" Wen Renfang said politely.
"By the way, don't tell Liu Zhubu about this, do you understand?" Xue Qingyang said.
"I understand." Wen Renfang nodded.
After Wen Renfang left, Xue Qingyang began to think about the imperial court's conscription.
He had just arrived in Mei County and had an unstable foothold, so he was in urgent need of political achievements.
This time, he had managed to snatch this job with great difficulty, in order to achieve some political achievements so as to gain recognition from his superiors.
So he actually made some slight changes to the number of conscriptions, increasing it a little bit.
Now that the two countries are at war, and there are rebellions everywhere, there are indeed not enough people to fight.
If he can do this well, promotion is just around the corner.
As for the fact that Mei County will be difficult to develop without people?
What does that have to do with him?
He had already been promoted and left by then!
When Xue Qingyang thought of this, his mood, which had been a little bit up and down because of Lin Qianxing, suddenly became cheerful.
In his opinion, Lin Qianxing's case was just a trivial matter.
He knew very well how much of a fool Wen Renfang was. If it weren't for the purpose of checking and balancing the original staff in the county government, he would not have promoted Wen Renfang.
After hearing Wen Renfang's words, he did not take Lin Qianxing to heart.
He guessed that Wen Renfang was probably exaggerating Lin Qianxing's strength to cover up his own incompetence.
Judging from Wen Renfang's description, that person might be comparable to the legendary figure described by some storytellers.
But this is obviously impossible.
That night, everything was silent.
Xue Qingyang has fallen asleep.
Lin Qianxing easily sneaked outside the county government office, then jumped over the four-meter-high wall.
With his current physique, he could even jump to a height of more than six meters. If he had a little leverage, even the city walls might not be able to stop him. It could be said that no wall could stop him, not even the imperial palace.
Lin Qianxing arrived outside Xue Qingyang's bedroom easily as if he were in an empty place.
Then Lin Qianxing shook his wrist and shot out a flying knife .
Wow!
Do~ !
The flying knife stabbed into the edge of Xue Qingyang's bed, penetrating most of the way inside.
Even so, Xue Qingyang was still sleeping soundly. The woman next to him made some noises, but she was not awakened.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing shook his head slightly, stuffed a note through the crack in the door, then turned and left.
The next day.
After Xue Qingyang woke up, he saw the flying knife that had penetrated the edge of the bed and immediately exclaimed, "Assassin!!"
This shout woke up the woman beside him.
"What happened?" the woman asked.
Xue Qingyang didn't say anything, but just looked at the flying knife.
His bed is not an ordinary bed. It is made of the finest ironwood, and even a knife may not be able to cut very deep into it.
This flying knife has almost no handle. I wonder how terrifying it would be if it landed on his head.
Then he saw the note under the crack in the door.
The note read, "The Green-Tailed Snake presents me with a flying knife. May the magistrate rest in peace."
When Xue Qingyang saw this line of words, cold sweat broke out on his back.
This is a naked threat!!
The other party could easily enter and leave his county government office, and could also leave a flying knife like this beside his bed. Wouldn't it be as easy as taking something out of a bag to take his head?
He thought to himself that the way of dealing with Xianliang Village might need to change.
The green-tailed snake is a lonely man, but he has a family business.
There's no need to go head-on with this barefoot hoodlum.
As for the missing population, we can fill it up from other villages.
Xue Qingyang murmured, "Oh, and there's Wen Renfang. I'm going to fire him for causing me so much trouble! No, I'm going to send him to jail. He's taken advantage of his position over the years and has embezzled so much money. I've been in office for so long and he doesn't even know how to show some respect. He deserves to die..."
