Chapter 334 Your Majesty, spare your life
Chapter 334 Your Majesty, spare your life
Although Ximen He had never truly witnessed the power of the Imperial Guards before, he was a businessman and had a lot of gossip.
I have already learned about the information about the Imperial Guards from various channels.
Now, in the streets of Xuanyuan Country, news about the most trusted troops around the empress, the Imperial Guard, is circulated from time to time.
It is said that this is an iron-clad army!
Not only are they extremely powerful, but they also kill people without mercy and only obey their superiors!
They are like a group of wild beasts released from a cage, and also like evil spirits from the underworld!
Ximen He retreated again and again!
He quickly explained to Han Zhuo, "General, please talk nicely. Let's talk nicely!"
"You want money, right? You pretended to be bandits from Qingfeng Village, robbing and injuring people. You must be doing this to get money, right?"
"I'll go back and prepare one million taels of silver for you!"
Han Zhuo laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Thank you for your concern, Master Ximen! We're not really that greedy. We only want 500,000 taels of silver!"
"But Master Ximen doesn't seem to want to give it to us, so we can only rob it ourselves!"
As he spoke, Han Zhuo waved his hand lightly, and immediately the group of people behind him rushed forward quickly.
Seeing how ferocious these guards were, how could the dozens of people Ximen He brought with him dare to stay for long?
Turn around and run!
Because they all knew that what was inside was not silver, but stones!
Sure enough, the moment the box was opened, Li Shuangdao specifically shouted to Han Zhuo, "My lord, the box is filled with nothing but stones!"
Ximen He quickly explained: "Listen to me, I can explain, I..."
Before Ximen He could finish his next words, Han Zhuo grabbed the thirty-pound mace with one hand and swung it in a semicircle in the air!
It drew a fan-shaped arc and smashed down hard on Ximen He's head!
"boom!"
That scene was as if Han Zhuo's mace was not hitting a person's head, but a watermelon!
Suddenly, the blood-red flesh burst open!
There is also white stuff in it, like tofu, that is brain matter!
……
At the same time, on the top floor of Yanggu County, Zou Zhengze, the county magistrate, was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face.
Although, he was very confident in the 200 private soldiers trained by the Li family.
After all, this group of people have been training continuously according to the requirements of the Li family, and should be more than enough to deal with a group of bandits.
But, it’s been almost two hours since Ximen He went out, why hasn’t he come back yet?
"County Magistrate, they are back!"
Zou Zhengze's lackey pointed to the road ahead and saw a group of people jogging towards them.
They ran so neatly that they raised a lot of dust.
Because it's far away, I can't see it clearly.
But when Zou Zhengze saw that their number was neither too many nor too few, about two hundred people, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when this group of people approached and were only about a hundred steps away, Zou Zhengze's face suddenly changed drastically!
He quickly shouted to the soldiers guarding the gate below: "Quick! Quick! Close the city gate!"
However, at this time, closing the city gate was still too slow and it was too late!
Rushing in the front was Han Zhuo, a burly man wearing a mask and holding a mace.
At this moment, Han Zhuo even felt that the speed of his horse was too slow.
He jumped directly off the horse, stepped on the ground, and suddenly a powerful force burst out!
Han Zhuo rushed straight towards the city gate that was being pushed closed by seven or eight people!
At that moment, a loud "bang" was heard. Han Zhuo single-handedly held up the city gate that the seven or eight people were trying to close!
Immediately afterwards, with Han Zhuo's support alone, the bandits behind him rushed into the city with steel knives in hand.
Before the soldiers who were about to close the city gate could react, they heard loud "bang bang bang" sounds and were knocked to the ground one after another.
The situation when dealing with Ximen He was different. Before Han Zhuo came, he ordered Li Shuangdao and others that except for those who were related to Ximen He, no one in Yanggu County, whether civilians or soldiers, were allowed to harm their lives!
Therefore, Li Shuangdao and others did not even use knives, they used only fists!
Zou Zhengze didn't have many people under his command, and they were all a mob of people who were just there to do nothing.
Seeing a large group of vicious bandits rushing in, they dared not stay and turned around and ran!
At this moment, who cares if he is the county magistrate or the emperor?
Nothing is more important than your own life!
A large group of people quickly scattered.
Zou Zhengze, the county magistrate, couldn't escape even if he wanted to because he was wearing official uniform!
Li Shuangdao and several others surrounded him!
Zou Zhengze was hiding in a corner at this time, watching the bandits approaching like wild beasts. As the local official, when facing a powerful enemy, his reaction was to kneel down with a thud!
Then he begged for mercy: "My king, please spare my life, my king, please spare my life!"
Han Zhuo came to Zou Zhengze carrying a mace.
He looked at Zou Zhengze, who had a sneer on his face. Han Zhuo asked, "Are you the magistrate of Yanggu County?"
Zou Zhengze nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty has good eyesight, I am your humble servant!"
Han Zhuo sneered after hearing this: "What superiors, subordinates? I'm a thief, not an official!"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty is right!" At this moment, how could Zou Zhengze still have the demeanor of a senior official?
He is just a cowardly clown!
Han Zhuo stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up from the ground.
Han Zhuo said, "Let me tell you, I'm very unhappy right now!"
"Originally, I only wanted to take 500,000 taels of silver from Ximen He, but he actually had the audacity to drug me and even set an ambush!"
"Hehe, luckily I made preparations from the beginning. Ximen He's own knockout drug is colorless and odorless. No one can taste it when it is added to the wine."
"But he forgot that he already had the antidote for the knockout drug in his own pharmacy."
"I've been on guard against this move of his from the beginning!"
As Han Zhuo finished speaking, everyone behind him burst into laughter.
Zou Zheng, trembling, turned to Han Zhuo and asked, "My lord, where is Master Ximen?"
Han Zhuo then waved his hand and pointed to a carriage below.
The carriage shed had been dismantled by Han Zhuo. When Zou Zhengze raised his eyes to look over, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he sat on the ground again!
What he saw was a headless corpse!
The head had been smashed to pieces, with some bones and flesh still left on it!
Zou Zhengze had known Ximen He for so many years, and he could tell at a glance that this was the arrogant Master Ximen!
Han Zhuo said to Zou Zhengze, "I'm a man of principle. Ximen He owes me 500,000 taels and even set a trap for me. Now I'm going to take back the debt he owes me!"
"You lead the way, I'm going to raid his house!"
When Zou Zhengze heard Han Zhuo's words, he suddenly seemed to come alive. He quickly looked up at Han Zhuo and asked, "My king, my king, don't you kill people or rob people?"
As a result, Han Zhuo kicked Zou Zhengze.
Although the kick was not heavy, it still caused Zou Zhengze to fall flat on his face.
Han Zhuo cursed, "Are you fucking stupid? I want money!"
"Why am I killing people? Aren't I tired?"
"Ximen He is a well-known wealthy man. It's enough for me to seize his property!"
"Why would I kill those ordinary people who don't have any money in their pockets?"
"Stop talking such bullshit! Hurry up and lead the way. If you're too late, I'll chop your head off!"
Listen to Han Zhuo's powerful, hoarse and low voice.
Zou Zhengze then breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took Han Zhuo and others, quickly crossed the spacious streets of Yanggu County, and arrived at the gate of Ximen He's mansion in a mighty manner.
Han Zhuo laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Brothers, go!"
"Remember, only silver and gold!"
Suddenly, the people behind Han Zhuo rushed in like a tide!
Seeing that Han Zhuo really didn't attack him, Zou Zhengze breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Han Zhuo, "Your Majesty, the small city gate is not closed. After you have robbed the things, you can leave at will."
"I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now!"
As soon as Zou Zhengze finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Han Zhuo quickly reached out, grabbed his collar, and carried him directly into Ximen He's house like a three or two-year-old child.
There was chaos in Ximen He's family!
The servants, maids and nannies were in chaos!
Li Shuangdao brought Butler Zhang over and dropped him at Han Zhuo's feet.
Seeing Han Zhuo's ferocity, Zhang Guanjia didn't dare to raise his head. He kowtowed to Han Zhuo and shouted, "My king, spare my life!"
"Poisoning and ambushing the king was the idea of Master Ximen and the county magistrate! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Those two hundred men were also lent to our Master Ximen by the County Magistrate!"
Butler Zhang's words were like a bolt of thunder that struck Zou Zhengze!
Zou Zhengze jumped up and kicked Butler Zhang twice in a row, cursing as he kicked, "You bastard, I'll teach you a lesson on nonsense!"
While he was desperately kicking Butler Zhang, Han Zhuo reached out and patted Zou Zhengze on the shoulder.
Zou Zhengze turned his head and saw Han Zhuo's hand raised high.
Then, he slapped Zou Zhengze in the face with a "bang"!
Han Zhuo used this force skillfully and swiftly!
Zou Zhengze's head was hit by Han Zhuo and spun three times on the spot!
And his neck was twisted into a knot!
