Chapter 48: Destroyed Family
Chapter 48: Destroyed Family
"How did you get in?" Zhao Xiong's face turned pale.
The feeling of a sharp blade against my neck was extremely uncomfortable.
I am a fisherman and a fisherman.
Unexpectedly, one day, he would become a fish on the chopping board, without even a chance to save his life.
Xu Qing looked around and said softly, "Captain Zhao, the feng shui of your yard is not good. Why are there leaks everywhere?"
Zhao Xiong suddenly couldn't help but screaming as the joints of his limbs were dislocated by Xu Qing.
However, even though there are air holes in this secret room, the sound that gets out is almost like the sound of wind.
But Xu Qing still slapped Zhao Xiong's face with his dagger and kindly reminded him, "Captain Zhao, if you want to leave early, you might as well speak louder."
Zhao Xiong could only groan in pain and didn't have the courage to scream.
In fact, the more evil a person is, the more he fears death.
But they often pretend to be fearless in order to scare ordinary people.
If we really encounter someone worse, sometimes our reactions are even worse than those of ordinary people.
Xu Qing was actually still in danger at the moment, but he was much calmer than usual. This calmness gave him an indescribable excitement.
The hero breaks the law with force.
He has the body of a young man and is a martial artist. In this environment, the blood in his body awakens!
In this world, no matter how much pleasure one gets from scheming and scheming, nothing can compare to the satisfaction of using force to avenge one's enemies.
Just ask yourself, who has not thought about using force to take revenge and repay grievances?
Like Wu Song in Yuanyang Tower and Feiyunpu.
Especially the Feiyunpu section, when the suona sounded and Wu Song broke the iron chains, it was one of the most exciting memories of Xu Qing's youth in his previous life.
Zhao Xiong endured the pain and said, "Name a price."
Xu Qing said calmly: "Are you still qualified to make an offer to me now?"
Zhao Xiong: "Aren't you afraid of a desperate situation? Do you really think that if you catch me, you can walk out of this compound safely? You are not the only one in the world who has kung fu. Young man, listen to my advice, there are always people who are better than you. Be a good person and leave yourself a way out, only then will you have a future."
Xu Qing: "Captain Zhao, is there anyone from outside the world that has anything to do with you now? I can come in and go out. So I'm sorry, even if the fish dies, the net won't break."
Zhao Xiong: "What do you want?"
Xu Qing looked at him calmly and said in a very relaxed tone: "I told you, there is not much time left for your family."
Zhao Xiong: "You must kill them all? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Xu Qing sighed softly: "You should also understand my life experience. If there is retribution for this kind of thing, it won't happen to me first."
Zhao Xiong choked when he heard this. He remembered how the Xu family was wiped out more than ten years ago.
"If I can tell you the truth about the Xu family's annihilation, would you please spare me?" Zhao Xiong's expression was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"I do not want to know."
Xu Qing's answer made Zhao Xiong despair.
"Don't think you'll be safe just by catching me." Zhao Xiong's expression became ferocious.
Xu Qing sighed, "Do I look like a fool? Coming alone to break into your Zhao family's den of wolves?" At the end of his words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a knife, and fell on Zhao Xiong: "Zhao Xiong, the county and prefectural officials already know about your conspiracy with the Lotus Sect to rebel. If you don't believe me, I'll take you out later to see if there are soldiers everywhere outside."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could you know?" Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Zhao Xiong's forehead.
Xu Qing: "I just know it now."
Zhao Xiong said in hatred: "Who betrayed me?"
Xu Qing: "What do you think?"
"Isn't it that bitch Yin Sanniang? I knew it long ago. She has a good relationship with Feng Xifeng's daughter, and bad things will happen sooner or later. How could the Holy Church use such a person? It's so hateful. I should have left the city earlier." At this moment, Zhao Xiong wished he could eat Yin Sanniang alive.
He is now a little insane and has fallen into madness.
Xu Qing's expression became increasingly calm, in stark contrast.
In the past, Fu Jiezi said, "Han troops are coming, do not move. If you move, your country will be destroyed." Ban Dingyuan said, "You can't get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den." He seemed to have experienced something of the state of mind of being in the enemy's lair, talking and laughing freely, and being in high spirits. His soul has undergone an indescribable transformation.
Originally his spiritual progress had been getting weaker and weaker, but at this moment he seemed to have taken a tonic, becoming excited and active.
"It seems that having clear thoughts and a chivalrous spirit is also one of the keys to the advancement of the soul."
In fact, it is not surprising. Those great men with strong wills have all gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Even though the story of Cao Cao, who was married to a woman, was arranged at Huarong Pass, in fact, the story also shows Cao Cao's perseverance and his mentality of finding joy in adversity.
Despite suffering a crushing defeat at the Battle of Red Cliffs, he was able to cheer himself up and remain calm and composed even in the face of defeat.
Hence there is a saying that goes "The scholar lightly criticizes the person in the tomb, and the person in the tomb laughs at your scholar's anger."
Xu Qing recalled the ancient literature and history he had studied in his previous life. The temperament of those historical figures seemed to be imposed on himself at this moment.
Especially the heroic spirit of Wei Wu in history is evident in his words.
Besides, he is still a teenager and not very tall, with a similar build to Wei Wu. Holding a dagger and with this ray of divine power, he has some of the heroic spirit of a man writing with a knife by the bedside.
This aura made the confused Zhao Xiong fall into an ice cave. The despair in his heart continued to grow and spread, and his will to resist became weaker.
Xu Qing kept whipping Zhao Xiong to weaken his fighting spirit, but in fact he was also stalling for time, waiting for County Magistrate Wu to send someone over.
Because Zhao's house is very close to the county government office.
Xu Qing has sharp ears and sharp eyes.
The secret room was built underground, and he could also hear the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.
He waited for a while, covered Zhao Xiong's mouth with a cloth, took Zhao Xiong hostage, and took him out of the secret room.
Sure enough, the sound of government troops entering the yard was heard.
At the same time, many torches were lit around Zhao's house.
Regardless of the fighting power, the momentum is strong.
Moreover, most of the Zhao family were born as untouchables, and they were naturally afraid of the government. When they saw the government troops appear, their fighting spirit collapsed immediately.
Some people even looked at the gangster Niu Peng who had just fallen asleep and was forced to wake up again.
Most of these people suspected that it was the bandit Niu Peng who provoked the government troops.
Niu Peng was also confused and surprised. How come the government troops surrounded Zhao's house before he even took any action?
When will the government be able to be so efficient?
"The county magistrate has ordered that Zhao Xiong has colluded with religious bandits to rebel. If the main culprit can be found, he can be treated leniently. Otherwise, he will be regarded as treason and his family will be destroyed..." Li Dianshi loudly read out the non-existent order of the county magistrate.
But he was the Dianshi, the fourth-ranking official in the county government, so his words naturally had credibility.
At this moment, the offensive against the people in Zhao's house collapsed.
The most important thing is that until now, the people in Zhao’s house still don’t know where Zhao Xiong is.
Any servant who came to Zhao Xiong's house was knocked down by Xu Qing.
Xu Qing knew very well that the less Zhao Xiong showed up, the more chaotic the Zhao family would become.
But he did not return to the secret room.
Because there is only one entrance and exit to the secret room, there is a danger of being caught in a jar once entering.
Now that he is out, he can come and go freely.
"The governor has ordered that Zhao Xiong and the religious bandits are plotting rebellion. Anyone who follows them will be considered as a traitor..."
Even the government troops came.
The morale of the people in Zhao's house was even more demoralized.
The old man who owned the house was filled with sorrow.
"The county magistrate who ruined the family, the prefect who wiped out the clan. Now, both are here, and the Zhao family has no way out today..."
