Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 129 The Blade That Slashed at Luo Yuheng (2)

This kind of thing happens frequently.

For disaster victims, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs and survive, so they often frequent places like steamed bun shops and restaurants.

But for the owner of the steamed bun shop, it wouldn't be a problem to do good deeds if there were only one or two disaster victims. But how many disaster victims are there in Ningping County now?

Everyone was asking him for steamed buns; his little shop would probably go bankrupt in a day.

And so, the conflict began.

"Sigh... I've seen too many things like this today, and I don't even have time to stop and have a cup of tea." Shaking his head, Luo Tianchu put down his teacup, exhaled, and stood up. When he stood up, his face had softened into a gentle smile that made people feel close to him.

My gaze swept over the two people arguing. Although the middle-aged woman was a disaster victim, it was clear that she had lived a pretty good life before. She was stout and had a lot of fat on her body. If you weren't careful, you might even mistake her for a butcher.

His voice was very loud, and even though the owner of the steamed bun shop was a man, his voice and aura were completely suppressed.

"Ma'am, calm down, calm down..."

"Let's talk about it slowly."

Luo Tianchu spoke softly and gently, and his persuasion seemed to have some effect. The middle-aged woman finally let go of the poor steamed bun shop owner, and then let out a heart-wrenching wail. She staggered towards Luo Tianchu, crying out, "Your Honor, you must do me justice..."

She had paid for two steamed buns, but the shopkeeper only gave her one. That shameless shopkeeper was cheating even disaster victims. Crying and shouting, the distance between them grew closer and closer; it seemed she wanted to pounce on him, grab Luo Tianchu's legs, and beg for justice.

Just as the distance between the two reached a certain point, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned ferocious, her facial muscles twisted into a grimace, and with a whoosh, a boning knife appeared in her palm behind her back.

"You brat from the Luo family, die..."

The boning knife was thrust towards Luo Tianshu's chest.

Despite her plump figure, this middle-aged woman was surprisingly fast when she moved, her massive body resembling a wild boar in a frenzy.

That boning knife, having killed countless people, had a strange dark red hue on its blade.

The blade was exceptionally sharp; if it were stabbed in the chest, there was no doubt that the skin and flesh would be torn apart instantly, and even the ribs might be severed. Yet, even so, Luo Tianchu's smile remained unchanged. He simply raised his right hand and beckoned with his finger.

A loud clattering sound rang out instantly.

Dozens of constables beside Luo Tianchu simultaneously raised their arms, and somehow, crossbows—military crossbows—had appeared in their hands. Their fingers were already on the triggers; with just a little force, a dense barrage of bolts would instantly burst forth.

The middle-aged woman slammed on the brakes, a layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead.

What the hell is this game?

With dozens of crossbows pointed at her, even though she was very confident, she knew that she would be riddled with arrows in an instant.

His previously fierce-looking old face immediately broke into a smile, and even his menacing eyes became clear and bright.
"I'm so sorry, Your Honor, I mistook you for someone else. I'll be leaving now, I'll be leaving now..."

damn it.

Is there any reason?
Is there any royal law?
When did a mere county magistrate become able to equip his subordinates with crossbows?
Is nobody going to do anything about this?
"Jiang Shuangrou...where do you want to go?" Luo Tianchu's unhurried voice drifted from behind.

Jiang Shuangrou is the name of a middle-aged woman. Although the word "rou" has nothing to do with her, her fleshy face suddenly changed, and her body involuntarily stopped. Then, she saw that twenty or thirty people had come out from among the ordinary people who seemed to be just strolling around the street on her left and right sides and in front of her.

Each person had a powerful crossbow.

To surround, to blockade.

Jiang Shuangrou's thick neck writhed as she swallowed, fear spreading through her heart. She looked around but couldn't see a way out.

"Jiang Shuangrou, ranked third among the six villains."

"They used to run an inn by the roadside to accommodate passing merchants, but in reality, they were doing human flesh business."

"They are skilled at concocting sleeping potions. The potions they make are colorless and odorless, and even experienced bodyguards might fall for them. Once they are knocked unconscious, these people will be chopped into mincemeat and made into buns to sell to the next group of customers..."

"By now, you must have killed about 170 or 180 people, right?"

Luo Tianchu was still smiling, but that smile seemed even more hateful to Jiang Shuangrou.

"You knew about our plan all along?" Jiang Shuangrou asked in a hoarse voice, her tone filled with resentment. She was a seasoned veteran of the martial arts world, yet she had been defeated by such a young man. It was truly shameful.

"Actually, it's not that early. When the pretty widow came to my brother-in-law last night, he had already noticed something was off."

“However, my brother-in-law doesn’t know much about the affairs of the martial world, so he didn’t guess your identities. But I’m different. Although I’m a county magistrate, I still really like the affairs of the martial world.” Luo Tianshu shrugged. “But my brother-in-law’s judgment is correct.”

“Brother-in-law? Song Yan?” Jiang Shuangrou frowned, referring to the son-in-law they had never taken seriously.

“Yes.” Luo Tianchu nodded: “My brother-in-law had already figured out that the Yang family had planted a mole here. That mole might take advantage of the chaos caused by the refugees and disaster victims to make his move. He would try to transfer the guards around my mother, and he also deduced that the assassin might disguise himself as a disaster victim to approach us…”

Jiang Shuangrou's heart sank lower and lower. Damn it, this is basically a trap.

Jiang Shuangrou had always thought that her personality was twisted and crazy enough, but now she was surprised to find that these people were even more like madmen than she was, daring to use Princess Luo Yuheng's life as bait.

No, now that they know the identities of the six villains, what about the people who stayed by Luo Yuheng's side...?

Oh no, the boss is in danger!
Jiang Shuangrou suddenly panicked, her large face instantly turning ashen, and she seemed to transform into an enraged tigress, roaring, "Get out of my way..."

With a roar, he brandished the boning knife in his hand, preparing to break out of the encirclement, but how could Luo Tianshu leave such an opportunity?

The palm fell.

The next instant... puff puff puff puff.

A dense barrage of crossbow bolts shot towards Jiang Shuangrou in an instant.

Arms, thighs, chest, back, even neck and head were no exception; for a moment, it seemed to have truly turned into a giant... hedgehog.

Blood flowed slowly down his body, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

Even so, Jiang Shuangrou still struggled to move her thick legs, trying to walk towards the Luo family's direction.

His throat was throbbing, and his lips were covered in bright red blood foam.

He managed to move a few steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, the ground seeming to tremble three times.

I heard that this Bloodhand Butcher Jiang Shuangrou seems to have a crush on their leader, Ghost Face Mad Blade, and it seems that's true.

Only when Jiang Shuangrou stopped breathing did Luo Tianshu's smile disappear. He glanced at the location of the Luo family, his brows furrowing slightly before quickly relaxing again.

He knew that the Six Villains were merely a covert tactic employed by the Yang family.

The methods used behind the scenes are far more insidious and deadly.

This was not just an assassination attempt, but a series of dirty tricks.

Murders that use thousands of lives as bait.

……

At the entrance of the Luo family's residence.

The number of disaster victims is increasing.

At this very moment, the number of disaster victims gathered in front of the Luo family's gate alone is probably no less than a thousand.

The total number of disaster victims in Ningping County is probably already five thousand.

This is absolutely a terrifying number.

As if in an instant, all the disaster victims in Ningguo knew that the Princess's side would be able to provide them with enough to eat, and countless disaster victims flocked to Ningping County.

The entire Luo family sprang into action, steaming cornbread and cooking rice porridge, yet they were still quite busy, their faces covered in sweat.

If Luo Yuheng initially came just to establish a persona, it seems he has completely forgotten that now.

She seemed to have completely forgotten her noble status as the eldest princess, and had become an ordinary woman, carrying a basket on her arm, constantly taking out one cornbread after another and handing it to the disaster victims in front of her.

"Don't worry, we have them all."

"Line up."

"one by one."

He was distributing food while saying this, completely unaware that beads of sweat were dripping into his eyes.

She had almost forgotten the instructions her son-in-law had given her.

Even the three maids, Tao Yun, Li Qingyue, and Zhang Yan, were soaked through from their busy work.

Only the last maid seemed too afraid of these disaster victims and kept hiding in the back.

Just then, after a long wait in line, it was finally the turn of a man who was filthy from head to toe and whose face was covered in mud.

Seeing the cornbread that Luo Yuheng handed over, the man did not take it. Instead, a cleaver about a foot and a half long appeared out of thin air in his palm. Without the slightest hesitation, he chopped it down at Luo Yuheng's head.

This move is deadly!
