el sorry for us and tried to find us something to do, but now that you're in danger yourself, you don't have to worry about us anymore.”The simple villagers spoke one after another.Yang Lin smiled and...It's clear to anyone that these people from the mountain village are up to something!

The people stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

Some people are afraid, while others are excited.

But more people are fired up with passion!

The river was just a small place, and there weren't many executions in the county town. But now they were going to execute someone, and it was even more surprising because this person was a bandit who had committed murder and robbery—a truly wicked individual. Naturally, the people cheered and rejoiced.

Zhong Tao, with a knife in hand and bloodshot eyes, walked forward.

The four bandits bound to the ground trembled like chaff at this moment, and even two of them had already been scared out of their wits.

"Please, please, don't kill me… I have money, I have money! All my money is yours!"

"Ahhh, spare me, spare me! Please don't kill me, don't kill me!"

There was pleading, but also threats and intimidation.

"We, the Black Wind Mountain gang, have dozens of brothers! If you dare to touch me, all our brothers in Black Wind Mountain will never let you go!"

One of the bandits charged at Zhong Tao, roaring with ferocity in his eyes.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Tao came before him, brandishing a knife.

"You, you... Don't, don't..."

Just now, this bandit who was still fierce, suddenly became timid.

"Die!"

Zhong Tao hesitated for no moment, his broadsword falling with a thunderous clang.

Blood spurted from the bandit's neck, a large head rolling with a gurgling sound to the side.

Just moments ago, the bandit had been tough and defiant, but now he was a headless corpse, sprawled on the ground.

"Good!!"

Spectators immediately erupted in cheers.

Humans are inherently kind. While the common people may not all be quick to condemn evil, they all share a deep hatred for bandits.

Seeing someone kill a bandit on the street, they only felt exhilaration!

One head landed, and the two bandits who had just been so scared they wet their pants immediately fainted.

Only the one who remained conscious collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at this scene, many people felt sentimental.

Even ruthless bandits can be afraid! They lost their reverence for life and, when they wantonly deprived others of their lives, they never thought that one day, their own lives would be taken at will.

After beheading the first bandit, Zhong Tao did not continue to attack the second. Instead, he picked up the severed head and placed it in a wooden box beside him.

The head fits perfectly!

Only then did the onlookers realize that there were exactly sixteen wooden chests right here.

Could it be…

Without giving them much time to ponder, Zhong Tao seemed to become a cold machine. After collecting the heads, he raised his knife and charged towards the second bandit.

In a chorus of shrill screams and pleas, the third and fourth bandits were also slain one after another, falling to their deaths!

The people cheered with great enthusiasm.

But some have already questioned why the heads of bandits were collected.

Zhong Tao was on this side, his eyes seemed to be filled with bloodlust. After slaying four bandits who were still alive, he carried his sword and walked towards the twelve corpses that were already mangled beyond recognition. He proceeded to cut off the heads of these bandits one by one, placing them all in a box.

After doing all this, Zhong Tao threw the large knife in his hand, came before Yang Lin, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists in a salute.

Yang Lin nodded and stepped forward to help Zhong Tao up: "You've worked hard."

Zhong Tao shook his head: "Being able to avenge them would make me feel better."

He once slew many enemies in the army and killed several bandits, so he would not have any psychological burden about it.

It was the opposite yesterday, as he himself couldn't withstand the bandit and felt deeply guilty about it.

"Alright, we should go give gifts!" Yang Lin stood tall again and shouted loudly: "According to the Great Qin Law, those who kill bandits will be rewarded with a gold coin!"

"Since these bandits were sent by the Zhou family, then this reward money should go to the Zhou family!"

"I shall now present these sixteen ounces of reward money to the Zhou family!"

Saying that, Yang Lin jumped down from the height and shouted: "Let's go!"

Carrying headless corpses onto carriages, villagers once again beat drums and played gongs, holding wooden boxes as they walked along the streets toward Zhou's home.

The onlookers were once again shocked.

Send the body to the Zhou family

What does this mean

Could he possibly dare to attack the Zhou family again

Zhou Kun was the head of the jail, and in Jiang He County, he was a powerful figure!

If Yang Lin dares to touch the Zhou family, things will be serious!

Those who love to watch the commotion, always eager for excitement, followed the "gift-giving" party from Aozhan Village towards Zhou's house.

Inside the Zhou family's grand estate.

At this moment, Zhou Kun was pacing restlessly in his study, his mind troubled.

Black Tiger has been gone for so long, but there hasn't been a single sign of him. This makes him very uneasy.

"Dad, rest assured, with Black Tiger taking action, where else could Yang Lin run to" Zhou Zhengyang took a sip of tea and said disdainfully.

Zhou Kun nodded. "Hei Hu is reliable, of course, I have no worries about him. However, that Yang Lin is cunning and might run away. If he does, it'll be troublesome to catch him again later."

Zhou Zhengyang coldly opened his mouth and said, "If he didn't have that formula in his hands, I would really want to kill him directly! Dare not to take our Zhou family seriously, then let them know that my Zhou family is someone they can't afford to provoke!"

Recalling being ignored by Yang Lin in the mountain village that day, and then having to cooperate with him, Zhou Zhengyang was filled with anger.

Just then, the butler's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, please come out and have a look!"

Zhou Kun frowned: "What's wrong"

"Yang Lin is here!" the butler said.

"What"

Zhou Kun and Zhou Zhengyang were both greatly surprised.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Kun blurted out, "What's going on"

Zhou Zhengyang followed up, "You mean that Black Tiger brought Yang Lin here, right"

"No, no." The butler hurriedly shook his head. "It's Yang Lin, he, he brought hundreds of people from his village to the door, saying they want to give us a big gift!"

"Just..."

The steward hesitated to speak.

"What is it"

Zhou Kun hurriedly asked.

The houseman hurriedly said, "I just saw them. Some of them had blood on their bodies and were carrying many strange wooden boxes. The smell of blood was very strong. I'm afraid they are not good people!"

Zhou Kun's eyes widened.

A box

Metallic smell

Zhou Kun was also dumbfounded for a moment, not understanding the connection between the two.

"Father, no matter what Yang Lin is up to, since he came knocking on our door, we can take this opportunity to send a few officers and find any excuse to arrest him!"

"This Jiānghé County is our territory. Taking it back would be child's play, wouldn't it"

Zhou Kun frowned instead: "No hurry, let's go out and have a look first! I want to see what he sent me!"

Even if he racked his brains, he would never have imagined that the boxes contained black tigers and the heads of those bandits!ao Fugui jumped in fright: "What are you trying to do Yang Lin, please don't be impulsive. The common people have never been able to win against the officials throughout history! We can't possibly be...
