In the southwest of Yangquan County, in a small river called Jueshui, a large group of black-clothed men were holding weapons and quietly lying by the river bank.
"Second brother, is there really that much food in such a small county?”
"He Sheng has been in contact with us for a long time. He definitely wouldn't dare to lie to us!”A man with a face as black as iron said fiercely," Second Brother, you must not cherish your life if you want to support your wife! Go!"
A group of people jumped out of the river bank agilely and sneaked towards Yangquan County in the dark.
"Second brother, why are there so many strange fellows outside the city?”
This was a group of bandits who roamed the Jiangnan region. Looking at the tall arrow towers, they couldn't help but feel baffled.
"What's the use of this?!" The leader said disdainfully. Don't worry about it, hurry up and climb the city!"
Yangquan City, which had short and broken walls, was not fortified at all in their eyes. When they thought of the food, gold, silver, and beautiful ladies in the city, the group of people became excited and rushed forward.
Suddenly, an arrow shot out with a swoosh. One of the bandits grunted as he was hit in the heart and fell to the ground.
Then, countless arrows rained down from all directions, and each arrow was accurate and ruthless. A large number of the hundred bandits fell in an instant, screaming in pain.
"We've been tricked! Retreat quickly!" The bandit leader's expression changed drastically as he shouted and waved his hand.
Leaving behind the corpses on the ground, the remaining dozens of people fled in panic. Arrows continued to shoot from behind, and the people around them kept falling. Everyone felt incomparably terrified, as if the merciless death god was harvesting them.
They finally managed to escape to the riverbank, but there were only a dozen or so people left. They shouted and jumped into the water before heaving a sigh of relief.
Looking back, the small Yangquan City had brought a huge psychological shadow to this group of thieves!
Lu Peng, who was standing on the city wall, nodded. The power of the Arrow Tower Formation was quite good, and he was very satisfied.
He Sheng had set him up once, so Lu Peng naturally would not give him another chance. There were people secretly watching the He family's movements at any time. The messenger was caught by Xie Qi and his men as soon as he left the house. Lu Peng beat him at his own game after asking him about it. He let the messenger continue to deliver the letter so that he could test the power of the Arrow Tower Formation.
"Langjun, the thief leader is quite skilled. He escaped!”Xie Qi walked over and said.
"It's fine. Let's go and make arrangements for County Lieutenant He.”
Lu Peng sneered, a murderous look flashing in his eyes.
After ignoring you for so long, do you really think I'm a clay Bodhisattva?
He Sheng's face was pale as he sat in the hall in a daze, listening to the chaotic screams around him.
"Duke He, what should we do? Little Lu has surrounded us!”A confidant grabbed it with a sad face.
He Sheng stared at him for a while before suddenly slapping him."What little Lu! How dare you insult County Magistrate Lu!”He grabbed a saber and slashed at it.
" Langjun, He Sheng came with a head to surrender to you..." Jiang Yan stepped forward with a strange expression.
Lu Peng snorted and saw He Sheng staggering over. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, howling,"Please forgive me this once, Langjun. I listened to this villain's slander and repeatedly violated the ruler's might. From now on, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and serve Langjun to the death!”
"Now you know fear?" Lu Peng looked at him with a cold smile." It's too late. I don't need people like you. Colluding with bandits and attempting to murder me, drag him out and behead him!”
He Sheng wailed loudly as he was dragged down and beheaded. Lu Peng ordered people to kill more than 20 people from the He family.
This era was like this. One couldn't be soft-hearted when they had a life-and-death feud. Of course, there were no innocent people in the He family. All of them were bullies who ran amok in the village. Even He Sheng's fifteen-year-old son had once raped a commoner girl.
The dozens of servants of the He family were given their freedom, and Lu Peng accepted the large courtyard without hesitation. In addition, they also confiscated thousands of strings of money and many gold and silver goods.
A mere county captain actually had so much property. It could be seen how powerful he was.
The people of Yangquan had been suffering from He Sheng for a long time, and when they heard the news, they ran around to tell him, making everyone happy.
Lu Peng distributed the money, and the soldiers led by Xie Qi received a lot of rewards.
Lu Peng felt much more relaxed after he finally got rid of this guy who was hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake.
Xie Qi brought seven or eight men over."Langjun, these are the bandits we caught in this battle.”
These people were all injured, but they were not shot to death. "What's the name of your leader?" Lu Peng asked one of them.”
That person was very unyielding. He spat and turned his head away.
Xie Qi waved his hand, and two soldiers dragged the man away.
Lu Peng asked another person, but this person was not as stubborn. He said with a pale face,"I…I only know that his surname is Jiang…"
"I know. Second Brother's surname is Jiang Qin, and his name is Gongyi!"”
"Jiang Qin?" Lu Peng was stunned when he heard that. He didn't expect that it was quite famous. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to catch it.
