Chapter 244 What do you think of those people just now?
"Oh, I wonder who you are?" Yang Biao rode his horse to the front of the team and cursed in his heart, damn it, it's almost noon, and I still have to spend time dealing with these bandits who kill people without blinking an eye.
"You can go to the King of Hell to ask my grandfather's name." The big man was extremely arrogant and didn't want to pay attention to him. He simply gestured to his men behind him and they rushed over.
"Lu Gang, protect the people in the car." Yang Biao got off his horse, drew his sword, and stabbed the bandits coming towards him. The number of these bandits was less than the ones he had encountered before, but they had some skills in boxing and kicking, especially the big man in the lead, who killed five of his men in a breath.
"Hey, I'm so lucky today, grandpa. I have a good appearance." The curtain of the car was blown open by the wind, and he saw Xia Weiwei sitting inside with the child in her arms. He immediately became lustful and turned his horse around to go over there.
"Young lady, don't be afraid, I will come to find you later." The big man was about to reach her, but was stopped by Xia Yi who was guarding beside her.
"Boy, don't stop grandpa from doing good things!" The big man used a move of pressing down on him like a mountain, and Xia Yi quickly dodged it. He failed to get close to the beauty several times, which made him very angry.
"You ignorant and reckless man, stop being rude!" After killing two bandits in succession, Shi Rui quickly ran over and joined forces with Xia Yi.
"Oh, this guy is quite capable," Yang Biao, who was not far away, saw that the two men could not do anything to the big man for a while, so he ran to his mount to get the bow and arrow, took aim, and found an opportunity to shoot at the big man.
"You shameless villain, you actually shot an arrow in the back of my heart!" The big man was hit in the back of my heart by an arrow and cursed loudly in pain.
"There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with bandits like you!" Xia Yi and Shi Rui went to deal with the other bandits approaching here. Yang Biao fired three arrows in a row, two of which were blocked by his knife, and the other arrow hit his thigh.
"Jiang Sheng, Lu Gang kill him!" Shi Rui and Xia Yi are Xia Weiwei's men and only obey her orders. She can't order them around, so she can only let her own men go.
"You bastard, what's your name?" The big man was furious. He had a great reputation all his life, but today he had fallen into the hands of an unknown person.
"You can go and ask the King of Hell." Yang Biao repeated what he had said before.
After Lu Gang walked over, the big man still wanted to fight desperately, but unfortunately he was shot in the thigh by an arrow, which hindered his movement. In addition, his back was bleeding continuously. After the two fought for several rounds, Lu Gang killed him with a single knife.
"No matter they are dead or alive, take off their heads," Yang Biao first ordered Lu Gang to take Qin Xiaoran and the others away from here, and then let Jiang Sheng behead all the bandits. These people were very skilled, and he was afraid that some of them would pretend to be dead and come back for revenge in the future.
"Yes, master!" Yang Biao was at the scene, personally checking the bodies of the bandits one by one, making sure they were all headless, before letting his men throw the bodies and heads into the dug pit and bury them.
"Jiang Sheng, you used to be the best detective in the capital. What do you think of those people just now?" After dealing with the aftermath, Yang Biao asked Jiang Sheng while riding on his horse.
"Master, I just fought with them and felt that they have some moves that soldiers practiced." Jiang Sheng was secretly shocked. This Yang Biao was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"Oh, you mean they are not real bandits?" It's true that some individual bandits are highly skilled in martial arts, but their overall strength is so strong that people can't help but doubt their origins.
"Yes, I suspect that someone in the army is using the name of bandits to commit robbery and murder." Seeing that he seemed to have seen through it a long time ago, Jiang Sheng did not dare to hide it.
"Oh," Yang Biao squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse started to run quickly. He wanted to catch up with Xia Weiwei and the others.
"Husband, are you okay?" Xia Weiwei lifted the car curtain and saw that his shoes were covered in blood. She asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay," Yang Biao thought for a moment, and in order not to scare the child, he asked her to get a new pair of shoes from the car so that he could change them. He stuffed the blood-stained shoes into the cloth bag on the horse's back, intending to take them to the river to wash them when they stopped to cook in the evening.
"Master, nine of our brothers died today." After everyone finished their meal, women, children and young children stayed in their cars to rest. Lu Gang gathered everyone together, counted the number of people, and reported to him with a bit of sadness.
"You guys should get some rest. I will go to the capital of Guangshu Prefecture tomorrow. You should continue to send people to guard the night." Yang Biao sighed. He was not thoughtful enough in his trip this time. He never thought that there would be people like him who were bandits and committed robbery and murder.
Tomorrow he must go to the city to buy more people with martial arts skills. Otherwise, if the number of people keeps decreasing, there might be no one available before he even leaves Guangshu Prefecture, which would be too insecure.
"Madam, you guys rest here first. Come back after your husband has done the job." Yang Biao settled everyone in two inns in the city, and then took Jiang Sheng to the largest local pawnshop in disguise.
"Sir, are you buying a house or land?" As soon as Yang Biao and his companion entered, a fat broker came to greet them.
"Oh, I'm planning to go on a long trip in the next few days, and I want to buy some more courage for fighting and kicking from you. I wonder if I can have any?" Yang Biao deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, making a low voice.
"Master, look, this is such a coincidence. We just happened to have received a batch of slaves that the government was selling. Master, please come this way." When the broker heard that he wanted to buy more people, he thought about the huge commission he could get, and he smiled so hard that his gums were exposed.
Yang Biao had been immersed in officialdom for four years, so he naturally knew that these words were just the opening remarks of the brokers. There were not so many coincidences in the world, but he did not expose it and followed the broker to the hall to pick people.
"Sir, come and see which one suits your taste." The broker came back with a large stack of deeds, followed by a group of burly men in handcuffs and shackles.
This is not because they are afraid that they will run away, but because if their hands and feet are not restrained, they are afraid that they will fight with each other if they disagree, and if their bodies are mutilated, they will not be able to be sold at a good price.
"This, and..." Yang Biao picked out the people who looked directly into his eyes and bypassed those who lowered their heads or looked around.
"Master, you have selected thirty-three people, and each of them needs one hundred and fifty taels of silver." The world in the north is in chaos, and anyone with a little money will buy someone with martial arts skills to protect themselves.
"Okay, I'll give you five thousand taels and you give us a female guard." Seeing that Yang Biao had already taken out five silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels, Jiang Sheng knew that he would not bargain, so he hurried forward to stop him and turned to make a request to the broker.
"No, sir. There is a shortfall of one hundred taels of silver. I cannot make the decision on such a large sum of money. Please don't make it too difficult for me." The broker looked at the banknote in Yang Biao's hand with some hesitation. The price of this female guard should be cheaper.
"Forget it, let's go look somewhere else." Seeing that the broker refused to accept the banknote, Jiang Sheng pulled Yang Biao out without saying a word. He decided to try his luck with another broker.
