" He forced us to go." Hu Zi pointed at the leader of the thugs." We're just some refugees. We don't have anything to eat. They said that as long as we work, we'll have something to eat."”
"Oh?" Banbu Ershan looked at the bandits who were pinned to the ground by the crowd and was a little suspicious.
"Sir, we are innocent. We didn't…Aiya!”The leader was about to explain when he was kicked by Brother Ma.
"Sir, these villains not only forced these children, but also lied to us that they would give us food," said Big Brother Ma loudly. He came here to sell all the women to the brothels and sell us men to the mines. It seemed that he wanted to make some money and do something big.”His words were half true and half false. From Bambulshan's words and expressions, he guessed something. Therefore, they lied that the leader sold them for money to do something big. As for what this major event was, it was up to Bambusan to guess. When the refugees heard him say this, they quickly agreed.
Banbulshan was no longer suspicious and whispered,""Third Brother, you talk about loving the people all day long, but you even do such a thing for your throne! Hmph, hypocritical! From the looks of it, our spies in the palace have indeed sealed off your source of wealth, which made him wary and use this method to find some money.”Kangxi was the third brother, so Banbu Ershan did not respect him in private and called him Kangxi Third Brother. Bambulshan had been careful all his life. He thought that children would not lie, and he did not think that so many skinny refugees would join forces to deceive him. However, these refugees had just been harmed by this group of evil people and were already indignant. Now that there were soldiers, they naturally forgot to push all the bad things onto them. Hu Zi saw that the soldiers were not friendly and that the leader was bullying Li Manru, so he took the opportunity to say that.
Banbulshan gave his men a look, and a dozen of them dismounted from their horses.
At this moment, the villains were all gathered together. The dozen or so soldiers came to stand in front of them. The refugees who were escorting the criminals thought that the soldiers were going to take them away. Unexpectedly, the soldiers pulled out their sabers and waved their arms, killing the criminals in front of them. Only the leader was left. Wei Xiaobao was shocked, and the refugees fell to their knees in panic.
Bambusan rode his horse to the leader and sneered,""Tell your master to behave himself in the future. Otherwise, Ao Zhong Tang will never let him off.”With that, he turned around and returned to the city.
A man who looked like he was in the army came up to Banbu Ershan and asked in a low voice,""Milord, why don't you eliminate the root of the problem?”
"Wouldn't it be better to let them fight each other? When that servant went back and reported this, Third Brother became even more restless.”
The soldier smiled in relief and was about to speak again when Banbu Ershan said with a dark face,""Quickly bring these people back. Don't let others discover our relationship. I brought you out today as a last resort. In the future, I won't personally contact you. Be prepared. Something big might happen in the near future.”
"Yes, I understand."”He turned around and led the soldiers away from Banbu Ershan, walking in another direction.
After the soldiers had left, Wei Xiaobao came up to Hu Zi and patted his head."Fortunately, Hu Zi is smart. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous.”
Li Manru looked at him with red eyes and said,"Even if Hu Zi says I'm here, I won't say you.”
Wei Xiaobao saw the strange look on her face and asked,"What are you talking about?"
"Hu Zi just told me that you guys were already here, but why didn't you come out earlier to save me instead of watching me get bullied?”
Wei Xiaobao looked at the heartbroken Li Manru and went forward to pull her into his arms despite her struggle. He said gently,"That's right, I was afraid of death, so I didn't come out immediately. It's all my fault. I'm useless. My martial arts are not good. At first, I was just looking for an opportunity, which was why I hesitated. However, I promise you that if such a situation happens again, even if I know I'm going to die, I'll come out and be a pair of lovebirds with the same fate.”
Li Manru was no longer angry when she heard this. She said angrily,"Who wants to be a couple with you?" Suddenly, she looked up and saw the refugees looking at her. She quickly broke free from Wei Xiaobao's embrace and walked to the side.
At this moment, Big Brother Ma came in front of them and cupped his fists."Brother, I believe you were the one who paid to save us. Ma Wenlong thanks you.”
Wei Xiaobao wasn't surprised that he knew he was the mastermind."Brother Ma is exceptionally smart. You have indeed guessed this. But if it wasn't for you encouraging the refugees today, I'm afraid we would all have died here.”
"You flatter me," Ma Wenlong said modestly. But I wonder how brother wants to deal with this person?”After saying that, he pointed at the leader of the villains who had fallen to the ground in fear.
" Hmph!" Wei Xiaobao snorted coldly as he scanned the crowd. Suddenly, he spotted his target and pulled out a woman with a dusty face. Ma Wenlong didn't quite understand Wei Xiaobao's actions, but upon closer inspection, he realized that Wei Xiaobao had pulled out the monkey's butt. The woman realized that something was wrong and was afraid that others would recognize her, so she wiped her face with dirt. Now that Wei Xiaobao had pulled her out, she was trembling all over.
"Do you think you can escape like this?”Wei Xiaobao said leisurely.
"Let me go, please. I won't do it again!”
Wei Xiaobao pushed her to the ground and picked up the dagger on the ground. He sneered,"Aren't you very talkative?"
"Bah!" Hu Zi said angrily," Don't let her off. She was the one who introduced those villains."”
"Forget it, she actually wanted those evildoers to open a brothel for the women among us and let her be the brothel owner.”Ma Wenlong was also filled with righteous indignation.
The monkey butt opened its mouth to speak, but Wei Xiaobao stabbed the dagger into her mouth. Everyone was stunned. They hated this person, but they didn't expect Wei Xiaobao to kill her just like that.
Wei Xiaobao patted his hands, which had been dirtied by the dust on the monkey's face, and said darkly,"I want to see how much you can talk!”At this moment, he turned to look at the leader who was still lying on the ground. He stepped on the leader's hand and said angrily,"I will never forgive anyone who bullies my woman!”He had just been complained by Li Manru, and he hated himself for being so timid, so he vented all his anger on the leader.
In his previous life, Wei Xiaobao was just a university student who had been stuck in school for more than ten years. The direct result of this school education was that it made him more rational, but to put it in layman's terms, it made him more and more timid. Moreover, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Anyone would be afraid, let alone him, a scholar who had a "two-hilted" in his previous life.
The leader was about to get up from the pain when Wei Xiaobao stepped on his face again. Then, Wei Xiaobao's fists and feet landed on his body.
Suddenly, he heard a cry. He turned around and saw Li Manru pulling the frightened children away from him. He knew that they were scared by him. He had no choice but to give up on his gut-refining and give the leader a quick death. Then, he said to Ma Wenlong beside him,""I'll have to trouble Big Brother Ma to arrange for some people to bury these people.”
Fortunately, these refugees did not feel any pity for the deaths of these evil people, so they quickly completed the task.
Ma Wenlong cupped his fists and said to Wei Xiaobao,""Thank you brother for helping us in our crisis.”
Wei Xiaobao saw that he did not ask why he had sent people to spy on those officials. He thought that this person was tactful and said,"Brother Ma, you don't have to be so polite. I just saw that Brother Ma and the rest of you seemed to be quite skilled. I wonder why you're here?”
"Bah, it's all because of that traitor Oboi!”A bearded man beside Ma Wenlong said hatefully," One day, I will chop off Ao Bai's head.”
"Brother Zhang Meng, don't spout nonsense!" Ma Wenlong glared at Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng knew that he had said something wrong, so he hid to the side." I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. This is a boor." We were originally rich families, but we were harmed by Oboi's enclosure and lost our land, so we were forced to live in the capital.”
Wei Xiaobao heard Zhang Meng's words and saw the skills of these people. His heart moved slightly, and he muttered to himself,"That Ao Bai has done too many heartless things. There are too many people who want to get rid of him. It was just that Ao Bai's power was huge, and it would be difficult to succeed if they worked alone. If they joined forces, it seemed that they could achieve greater success.”
Ma Wenlong's body trembled as he looked at Wei Xiaobao.""Hehe, what do you think, brother?”
"My name is Wei Xiaobao, you can call me Xiaobao. I'm still young, so naturally I should call you big brother.”Wei Xiaobao cupped his hands.”
"That's right." Ma Wenlong nodded and said,"There are too many people and too many mouths.”
When they were far away, Ma Wenlong said,""Xiao Bao, you asked Hu Zi and the others to keep an eye on the Obois. Today, they didn't come out to ask for help, but hid at the side. Let's be honest and open, there's no need to waste time hiding.”
"That's good!" Wei Xiaobao nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he couldn't tell them that he was under the Emperor's orders. But if he didn't tell them, how could he make them believe him? Suddenly, he had an idea and said,"To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by the descendants of Su Na Hai, Zhu Chang Zuo, and Wang Deng Lian to find evidence of Ao Bai.”
Ma Wenlong's eyes were filled with grief as he said,""What evidence? That Oboi has conclusive evidence, but no one dares to do anything to him! My unmarried wife came to the capital to complain, but she was captured and sold to a brothel by the people of Oboi Manor. It was a pity that a weak woman like her could only die to preserve her innocence. It's all my fault for being too childish in the past. Oboi's power is so great that even the Emperor can't do anything about it. What's the use of complaining? But I let her bring her old father to the capital, and in the end, she lost two lives for nothing.”
"This Oboi is not human," he said angrily."How could he do something like this?”However, he had forgotten that he had forced all of his " wives ".
"As a man, if I don't take revenge, how can I be a man? Therefore, he brought his brothers, who had lost their families because of the enclosure, to the capital to find an opportunity to kill Oboi. Unfortunately, the Ao Bai Residence is heavily guarded, and we've been waiting for no chance. I ran out of money, so I heard that Miss Li Manru was willing to help us refugees, so I came to seek refuge. Speaking of this, I hope Brother Wei can forgive us. We were really afraid of being exposed, so we didn't make a move and let Miss Li suffer.”Ma Wenlong apologized to Wei Xiaobao.
"Brother Ma, you don't have to be like this. I completely understand what you're doing. You don't have to blame yourself.”
Ma Wenlong sighed and said,"Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian pleaded for the land, but they were killed by Oboi." It's hard to get rid of Ao Bai by relying on the proper way. Why don't we join forces and find an opportunity to kill Ao Bai?”Ma Wenlong was a meticulous person. If he had done something like this, he would never have said it so easily in the past. It was just that they had been in the capital for more than a month and had suffered countless setbacks. Seeing that they had run out of money and that revenge was still far away, he felt a sense of defeat. He desperately needed someone else to help him take revenge, and seeing that Wei Xiaobao seemed to be a kindred spirit, he was bold enough to be honest with him.
Wei Xiaobao patted Ma Wenlong on the shoulder and said loudly,"What Brother Ma said is exactly what I want!" Kang Xi had just instructed him to find some people who hated Oboi outside the palace, and Ma Wenlong and the others were the right people. After a few days, Li Manru would investigate them thoroughly and he could use them without worry.
