the next morning

Yan Fugui arranged for his two sons to go to the town first to inquire about the news.

Half an hour later, Yan Changming and Yan Changman hurried back.

"Dad, people in the town told me that five miles south of the town, there is a tributary of the Lancang River. There is still water in the river, and the nearby villagers also go there to get their water."

"Okay, let me tell you, give everyone half an hour. If you need to buy something, go to the town and buy it. Our team will continue on the road after half an hour."

"okay!"

Yan Shu heard that he had half an hour to go shopping, so he couldn't miss it.

"Dad, Mom, I want to go to the town."

Jiang Ci and the three brothers of the Yan family wanted to go with them. Liu Wenniang said, "Then let's go together. Just come back on time in half an hour."

Several people nodded in agreement and entered the city gate together.

Because Baihua Town is the only way for trade between Nanwei Prefecture and Xinyang Prefecture, it is quite prosperous overall.

There is a water supply from a nearby river, and the people here have no preparations to flee southward for the time being.

The morning market in town has opened.

When Yan Shu saw something he wanted to eat, he would buy some to try. The group of people ate together and soon became full.

I packed a portion each of steamed buns, sugar cakes, and fried dough sticks and sent them back to Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang.

Seeing that there was nothing left to visit, Yan Shu said: "It's almost time, let's go back."

"it is good!"

Several people left the morning market and walked towards the gate of Beicheng.

Not far away, a disheveled woman rushed towards them on the street, followed by several men chasing after her.

The woman rushed to Yan Shu with a frightened expression, reaching out to grab the corner of Yan Shu's clothes.

Jiang Ci had already sensed the woman's intention and promptly protected Yan Shu behind him.

Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai stood in front of Jiang Ci and Yan Shu.

The woman had no choice but to target the three brothers of the Yan family.

She knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please help me, please. They are human traffickers. I was captured by them. Wuwuwu, please help me..."

"Little bitch, what do you think this place is? Well, since your parents sold you to us, you now belong to me, and you still dare to run away, let's see if I don't break your legs!"

The leading man stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hair and tried to beat her.

Yan Wu grabbed the man's wrist and said, "Isn't it wrong to beat a weak woman in public?"

The man looked Yan Wu up and down, and proudly took out a deed of betrayal from his arms.

"Are you literate? I'm illiterate. I tell you, this piece of paper is the deed of sale for this bitch. I spent money to buy her back as my wife. I'm here to catch my runaway wife. Can you, an outsider, take care of it?" ?”

The woman cried and shook her head: "That's not the case. They wrote the deed of betrayal themselves and forced me to press my fingerprints. I am not his wife, ah..."

Before the woman finished speaking, the man kicked her in the chest and knocked her to the ground.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue!"

Yan Wu angrily wanted to take action, but Yan Shu grabbed him.

Yan Shu glanced at the woman coldly.

"Second brother, since this is someone else's family matter, we shouldn't meddle in other people's business. The village chief is still waiting for us to go back. Let's go quickly."

Yan Wu suddenly realized something, nodded and followed Yan Shu and Jiang Ci away.

As soon as they took a few steps, the men chasing the woman blocked their way.

"Since you dare to meddle in other people's business, you want to leave like this?"

Jiang Ci glanced coldly: "Then what do you want?"

"Haha, no one who dares to offend us in Baihua Town will leave alive. I think you are all outsiders and don't understand the rules here. Now that you have met us, you can't leave without leaving something behind."

After saying this, the man whistled.

In an instant, dozens of people rushed out from all directions.

They were dressed basically the same, and they looked like members of a certain organization.

Yan Shu sneered: "If your plan doesn't work, you want to grab it head-on?"

It seemed that they had been secretly targeted by this group of people along the way, and that woman was just a bait thrown by them.

If they had just taken the bait and rescued the woman, they would have been tricked by the woman into their den of thieves to catch a turtle in an urn.

As a result, they were not fooled, and the true colors of this group of people were revealed. Their target had been directed at them from the beginning.

The man sneered: "Rob? Haha, you have become fish on the chopping board now. We don't need to rob. None of you can escape."

After saying this, the man called to his men: "Catch them all!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of men surrounded Yan Shu and Jiang Ci. Yan Wu was the first to pull out the scimitar from his waist.

"Bah, you want to arrest us!"

He swung his machete vigorously and cut the arm of one of his followers first, and then kicked another one away.

Yan Wen followed closely behind, pulling out the whip from his waist and waving it hard at the crowd.

Yan Huai took out the crossbow sent by Yan Shu and fired three arrows at the crowd.

Seeing that his three brothers were all taking action, Yan Shu also rushed forward to help, throwing out a handful of powder and knocking down several people one after another.

Jiang Ci aimed at the leading man, flew up and stabbed him with his sword.

The soft sword emitted a cold light, and the man felt a strong murderous aura coming. He immediately turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time waved the long knife in his hand to resist.

As Jiang Ci turned his wrist, the soft sword wrapped around the handle like a snake. With a little force, a crisp sound of metal breaking sounded.

The big knife in his hand broke into several pieces. The man was shocked. Without giving him any chance to react, Jiang Ci's soft sword had already pierced his throat.

People from the Xuanzong Sect also rushed over at this time, and those people were quickly at a disadvantage.

"Sir, how should we deal with these people?"

Jiang Ci put away his soft sword and glanced at the group of people with cold eyes.

"Keep one alive and take care of the rest."

"Yes!"

Huanying issued a killing order, and the Xuanzong disciples who had only used five points of their strength immediately went on a killing spree.

The people watching the excitement did not expect that things would turn around. Seeing that the bullies were all killed by the men in black, they were shocked and even more excited.

The Xuanzong disciples eliminated these people, leaving only the woman in the end.

At this time, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and she knelt down in front of Jiang Ci with a plop.

"Sir, the slave family is also forced by the people of the Zhenwu Sect. If you don't listen to them, they will beat and humiliate the slave family. The slave family is really desperate. In order to survive, they can only do this kind of thing that goes against their conscience... Wuwuwu... …”

Jiang Ci shot out a cold look, which scared the woman to stop crying in a hurry.

"Interrogate carefully."

"Yes!"

Huan Ying stepped forward to interrogate the woman, and after a while, he walked up to Jiang Ci.

"Sir, these people are the biggest gangsters in the area. The man you killed was the second in charge of the Zhenwu Sect. The Zhenwu Sect used to collect some protection fees in the town to survive. Not long ago, this organization suddenly grew. They began to arrest fleeing refugees everywhere, and what the woman said was that they mainly captured strong men and good-looking women, and she didn’t know where they would be sent in the end.”
