Chapter 319 Surveillance
These words immediately caused a commotion. The brothers of the Zhentian Gang naturally would not believe Zhou Chen's nonsense. In their minds, the two bosses were very powerful and there was no way they could be killed.
Leng Yiyao flipped her hand and took out two weapons from her storage ring and threw them to the crowd. These were Yu Lei and Yu Shaoyang's weapons.
"Impossible, how could a woman like her be a match for the two bosses? He must have stolen it."
As soon as he said this, Leng Yiyao appeared in front of him, and a pitch-black sword had pierced his chest. The gangster who spoke looked at the sword that pierced his body with horror.
The companions around him also looked at him and began to retreat unconsciously. At this time, someone said, "Our boss is an inner disciple of the Mad Blade Sect. If you kill him, the Mad Blade Sect will not let you go."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the thugs around echoed, "That's right, kill them and avenge the boss."
Just when Leng Yiyao was about to kill everyone, Zhou Chen's face darkened and the temperature around him began to drop sharply. Everyone shivered involuntarily.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you still refuse to repent, I'll have no choice but to send you to meet your boss."
Only then did they realize how powerful Zhou Chen was. The strong man behind him also rekindled his hope, and the disciples of the Zhentian Gang chose to put down their weapons and make way for them.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen said, "Let's go," and then led everyone straight away from the Zhentian Gang's territory.
Leng Yiyao said at the side, "I don't think they will give up. Why didn't you let me deal with them just now?"
"They are just small characters, there is no need for that."
After leaving the Zhentian Gang's territory, Zhou Chen said, "Okay, you all go home."
After that, everyone knelt on the ground to thank him. Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly asked everyone to stand up. Then under Zhou Chen's gaze, only a quarter of the people left the crowd and went home. Zhou Chen looked at the remaining three quarters with some confusion, "What do you mean? Don't tell me you are homeless now?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. Our home is outside the city, not in it. Now the city gates are closed, so we can only wait until tomorrow to leave the city."
"Oh, in that case, you should wait until tomorrow morning before leaving the city." After saying that, he took these people back to his home.
After returning, Zhou Chen was not polite and directly found a few people and asked them to go to the kitchen to prepare food themselves.
At first they didn't react, and only started to take action after getting Zhou Chen's confirmation. They had been in the dungeon for who knows how many days, and they were starving because they didn't have enough to eat every day.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was actually going to treat them to a meal, those honest farmhands knelt down in front of the two of them again. Zhou Chen really couldn't stand it anymore, so he took Leng Yiyao away from here, leaving only a few words for them to go home quickly the next day, and then he jumped onto the roof and left the yard.
Early the next morning, the county magistrate was practicing martial arts in the yard. Shen Li came to him personally and said, "My lord, something bad has happened."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be scolded, but facing County Magistrate Shen Li, he still smiled and asked, "What makes Captain Shen so anxious?"
Shen Li came up to him and said, "Sir, something bad has happened. The leader and second in command of the Zhentian Gang were killed last night."
Even the county magistrate, who was so powerful that he could cover the sky with one hand in Yuxi City, was shocked when he heard the news, "What did you say?"
Then he thought for a while and continued to ask, "How is this possible? Yu Shaoyang is fine, but Yu Lei is an inner disciple of the Mad Blade Sect. His strength has even reached the eighth rank. How could he be killed by someone? Captain Shen, you are kidding me, right?"
"Sir, Yu Shaoyang's body is already cold, but Yu Lei's body has not been found yet. However, according to the Zhentian Gang disciples, their leader was indeed killed." After hearing this, the county magistrate paced back and forth in the yard, "What should I do?" As a county magistrate, he naturally would not care about the life and death of a landowner, but Yu Lei's identity was a bit special.
In addition to the tribute he gave to himself every month, he also gave a large sum of money to the Kuang Dao Sect every month. Now that he was dead, the Kuang Dao Sect would definitely not let it go. If he came to Yuxi City at that time, how would he deal with it?
Shen Lishan stepped forward and said again, "According to the information from the disciples of Zhentian Gang, the people who killed the two leaders were Zhou Chen and his wife."
"Ah, in that case, then what are we waiting for, Captain Shen, quickly take your men and bring them back."
Shen Li smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency is confused. Since they can easily kill the two bosses, their strength must be very strong. Do you think we have the strength to capture them both?"
"That's true, but how do we deal with the Mad Blade Sect?"
"This is easy. I have already sent people to investigate. Zhou Chen and his wife are still in the city, and it seems that they have no plans to leave. In my opinion, we might as well send someone to report this matter to the Kuang Dao Sect and let them send someone to resolve the matter themselves."
The county magistrate, Empress Tian, immediately clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's do it. Captain Shen, send someone there right away."
Although the Kuang Dao Sect is a martial arts school, it is not located in the city, but on the Kuang Feng Mountain, a hundred miles outside the city. With the permission of the county magistrate, Captain Shen immediately sent someone to report the matter.
The Yunmeng Kingdom is not like Daxia. The important officials of Daxia are blessed by the national fortune, especially the civil servants. Even if they are powerless, their strength will not be too low with the blessing of national fortune.
However, Yunmeng Kingdom does not have that. Except for the King of Yunmeng, no one else has the blessing of national fortune. That is why the county magistrate is so afraid of the Kuangdao Sect.
In addition to the people from the county government, the disciples of the Zhentian Gang had already sent people to report to the Kuangdao Sect early on. At this time, they had arrived at the foot of the Kuangfeng Mountain. The Kuangfeng Mountain was not big, and after more than ten minutes, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. From here, they had entered the territory of the Kuangdao Sect.
At this time, there was a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and inside, an old man was resting on a recliner.
The disciple from the Zhentian Gang came to the pavilion cautiously. Hearing the old man's snoring, he did not dare to disturb him and just stood beside him. Even if something big happened, he did not dare to wake the old man up and just waited silently beside him.
At this time, Zhou Chen gave each of the people who were temporarily staying in Zhou Chen's courtyard one or two taels of silver and let them go home.
Looking at the people leaving, Leng Yiyao asked, "Brother Chen, do you think the people from the government office will let them go?"
"Don't worry, those people at the door should be targeting us. They will not make things difficult for these ordinary people. After all, they are government officials and they will not conscript men so openly."
Leng Yiyao said impatiently, "It's so annoying. I just want to live a stable life, why is it so difficult?"
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for the strength you and I have, we would have been killed by those people by now."
"Brother Chen, how about I go and take care of those annoying guys at the door?"
"No need, they are just following orders. Even if they are killed, there will be others coming."
