I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 9 Liu San's Death, Suffering the Sin of His Own Sins

The Forbidden Weapon Guards were a violent organization established by the Great Yan Dynasty to capture and deal with those who violated laws and committed serious crimes by using force.

More than a dozen forbidden guards rushed into the village.

Seeing that they were carrying knives and looked murderous, everyone did not dare to stop them.

"Sir, I know where he lives. He lives not far from the village entrance."

As he spoke, Liu San pointed the direction to everyone.

Without getting off their horses, they immediately sped up and whipped their horses in the direction of Lai Yang's previous residence, quickly surrounding the house.

"Go, open the door."

The leader of the Imperial Guards gave the order.

Two imperial guards dismounted, kicked the wooden gate to pieces, and walked in to search.

After a while, the two men came out again and said, "There's no one in the room."

The captain of the Imperial Guard turned and looked at Liu San with a cold gaze. Liu San was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly said, "He does live here. I'm not lying. You can ask other people. He might have left temporarily."

"Who's the most powerful person in your village? Let him speak out."

The village chief hurried out of the village. When he saw the imperial guards dressed in court uniforms and looking aggressive, his heart skipped a beat and his eyelids twitched.

Liu San saw the village chief coming and pointed at him and said, "That's him! He's the village chief of our village."

"I am Cui Zhengsheng, an old man. I am honored to meet you all. I am sorry that you have not come to our small village today. I hope you will forgive me."

The village chief looked terrified.

The captain of the Imperial Guard, riding on his horse, looked down at the village chief from above and asked coldly, "Let me ask you, who lives in this house?"

"To answer your question, sir, it was a young outsider with great abilities. He killed a wolf demon for our village. The villagers were worried about the wolf demon's revenge, so I lent him this house to live in. In exchange, I asked him to protect our village." The village chief did not hide anything and explained.

"Do you know that this man committed a serious crime? Not only did he exterminate an entire family, killing dozens of people, he even disregarded the laws of the court and dared to murder an official appointed by the court, killing a county magistrate. Is he a serious criminal of the court?"

The captain of the Imperial Guard asked in a stern voice, emitting a terrifying murderous intent that frightened everyone.

The village chief's face changed and he quickly explained:

"Please forgive me, sir. We really didn't know this before. We kept him because he saved the villagers and helped us kill the wolf demon."

"A few days ago, the villagers came into the city and saw a wanted poster for this man. We just learned that he was a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Two days ago, I drove him away. He is no longer in our village. I have also told everyone in the village about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

After hearing the village chief's words, everyone agreed.

The village chief did not say that he let Lai Yang go on purpose.

If that's the case, releasing a serious criminal is a form of harboring a criminal, which is also a serious crime, and he cannot afford it.

Now that Lai Yang has left, he is the only one who has the final say. I hope the village can survive this disaster.

Their small village was struggling to survive in the cracks. They couldn't afford to offend a powerful warrior, nor could they afford to offend the forbidden guards.

"Drive him away? How dare you conceal the truth and release a serious criminal of the imperial court without permission! What crime should you be punished for?!" the captain of the Imperial Guard shouted angrily.

The sound was deafening, and the powerful energy and blood impact made everyone's faces pale and they could not even stand steadily.

There was a pop.

The village chief knelt hurriedly, his face filled with fear and trepidation, and shouted loudly:

"Please spare my life, sir. How dare we do that? A few days ago, we learned that this man was a serious criminal of the imperial court. I couldn't eat or sleep every day, fearing that he would brutally massacre the village. I had no choice but to persuade him to leave. I have no intention of letting this criminal go. We are all ordinary people, all citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty. Our village is loyal to the imperial court. Please understand this, sir!"

However, the captain of the Forbidden Guard did not want to listen to the other party's defense and his expression was cold.

They believed Liu San's words and traveled thousands of miles to capture the murderer, but they came up empty-handed. How could they explain themselves when they returned?
"You all, secretly releasing a serious criminal from the imperial court and shielding the murderer, should be punished for the same crime. All of you should be taken back to prison and await trial!"

The captain of the Imperial Guard gave the order indifferently. Upon hearing this, everyone panicked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

How could they release criminals and shield murderers? They even have to arrest them and put them back in jail.

Is the yamen's prison a place where people can stay? I have never seen anyone come out intact after entering.

"Are you still being reasonable? Don't think you can slander people at will just because you're an officer. I'm going to sue you at the government office!"

Seeing the village chief, who had always been very kind to his family, being humiliated, Liu San's wife bravely stood up and cursed like a shrew.

However, before she could take a few steps forward, a Forbidden Martial Arts Guard drew his sword and blood spurted out.

Liu San's wife widened her eyes in fear, and her body gradually turned cold and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp, their expressions pale with horror.

“Kill…kill…kill!”

Liu San was stunned in the spot, then hurriedly ran to his wife's body and hugged her body: "Wife, wife, don't scare me, wife, wake up."

"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." The captain of the guards glanced at everyone with cold eyes and pronounced the sentence coldly and ruthlessly.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. This is different from what we agreed beforehand. You just need to arrest the person. Why did you kill my wife? Give my wife back to me!" Liu San's eyes were red as he glared at the forbidden guards.

The next moment, he roared and rushed towards the Forbidden Guards, followed by a sharp pain, as a sharp knife pierced his chest.

"Humph, a peasant like you is worthy enough to question the Forbidden Guards? You're courting death."

"Liu San!"

"You are so unreasonable."

Everyone was frightened, angry, and filled with despair.

"Reason? The swords in our hands are reason. If anyone resists again, we will kill them all on the spot."

"Village chief, please think of a solution."

"Sir, please show some mercy. We really didn't protect any criminals. We are just ordinary people. We have never done anything illegal."

The village chief was kicked to the ground by a forbidden guard and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, his face ashen.

The forbidden guard who attacked fiercely threatened: "Stop talking nonsense, if you keep talking, I'll chop you up."

"Catch them all back."

For a moment, the scene was in chaos. Some young and strong villagers who were unwilling to sit there and wait for death resolutely turned around and fled and hid.

However, how could the Imperial Guards let them go? They chased after them with knives in hand.

"It's over, everything is over."

The village chief had a look of sorrow on his face. He had not expected that their village was not destroyed by the wolf demon, but by the forbidden guards.

He could almost predict what kind of terrible punishment and torture they would face once they were caught by the Forbidden Guards and taken back to prison.

call out!
However, at this moment, a strong sound of breaking through the air was heard.

A stone hit the leg of a guard who was chasing the villagers hard, knocking him to his knees and breaking his leg bones.

Immediately afterwards, several stones flew over, injuring and knocking down several forbidden guards.

Seeing this, the forbidden guards were startled and looked alert: "Be careful! Someone is attacking us!"

The captain of the Imperial Guard had a cold expression on his face and shouted loudly:

"Whoever is sneaking up on me, come out if you dare."
