Chapter 137 Riot Five
"Heroes, let's make a pact. I don't like being tied up. Besides, I'm injured now and can't run away. There's no point in tying me up."
After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he bit his tongue, looking like he was ready to die if they didn't agree.
Lin Hu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay!"
"Come quickly and help me bandage my wound!" Wang Wenzhou said, pointing to his thigh.
Lin Hu waved his hand and instructed, "Xiao Peng, go and bandage him up."
Lin Peng wished Wang Wenzhou would die immediately, but he dared not disobey Lin Hu's orders, so he had no choice but to go over and help Wang Wenzhou pull out the arrow.
"Pfft!" Wang Wenzhou winced in pain, cursing, "You son of a bitch, go easy on me!"
"Hmph!" Lin Peng snorted coldly, took a strip of cloth, and wrapped it tightly around his neck.
Wang Wenzhou was in so much pain that sweat was pouring down his forehead.
"Let's go!" Lin Hu waved his hand, ordering his men to escort Wang Wenzhou to meet up with Lin Fei and the others.
"Wait!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said, "No way! My legs hurt too much to walk. Either you find a sedan chair, or you take a door panel and carry me."
“You…” Lin Peng pointed at Wang Wenzhou angrily, wishing he could go up and slap him a few times.
Lin Hu waved his hand and ordered, "Quickly, go and remove a door panel."
Wang Wenzhou lay on the door panel and said, "Heroes, you have to agree to one more condition. Don't kill anyone. Although I don't know your specific purpose, since you're not killing me, it means you still want to leave the city. As long as you promise me you won't kill anyone anymore, I guarantee I'll let you leave the city safely."
"Lord Wang, you truly love the people!" Lin Peng said sarcastically.
“Ordinary people have no grudge against you. I don’t know when I offended you. I’m in your hands. You can kill me if you want. Why kill those unarmed civilians?” Wang Wenzhou said calmly.
"Alright! As long as Lord Wang lets us out of the city, everything is negotiable. Let's go!" Lin Hu waved his hand, and the men in black carried Wang Wenzhou away.
Four men in black carried Wang Wenzhou back to the "main road" of Hanshan City.
The scene on the street was horrific. The streets hadn't been cleared, and bloodstains were everywhere. Corpses lay scattered on the ground, and dismembered bodies—severed hands, severed feet…
Some of the injured lay on the ground groaning softly, while their relatives wept beside the corpses.
"Run! The thugs are coming again!" Someone shouted suddenly upon seeing the group of men in black.
Chaos broke out on the streets again, with people running around like headless flies.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed softly.
"With great power comes great responsibility." Wang Wenzhou had always thought this saying was absurd, but now that he was the magistrate of Hanshan County, seeing the miserable plight of the people under his jurisdiction, Wang Wenzhou actually felt a sense of guilt.
Wang Wenzhou clenched his fists, secretly determined to avenge the innocent deaths of the people of Hanshan and to make the men in black pay for their crimes in blood!
"Heroes, where are you headed?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lin Hu replied calmly.
In no time, Lin Hu escorted Wang Wenzhou to the south gate of Hanshan.
Lin Fei and the others have already rescued Lin Qing.
As soon as Lin Qing saw Wang Wenzhou, he jumped off the carriage and rushed towards him, cursing, "Wang the Idiot! I'll kill you!"
"Slap slap slap..." Lin Qing slapped Wang Wenzhou across the face.
Wang Wenzhou finally understood the purpose of these men in black; they had come to rescue Lin Qing. He had been careless! Wang Wenzhou deeply regretted his actions. When he first learned that Lin Qing was responsible for the massacre of Wei Shilin's family, he thought Lin Qing was just a petty thief. He never imagined that Lin Qing had such powerful backing.
"Qing'er! Stop!" Lin Fei shouted.
"I'm going to kill him!" Lin Qing said viciously as he violently punched Wang Wenzhou.
Just as Lin Fei waved his hand, Lin Qing's father, Lin Mu, quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin Qing away.
Lin Fei clasped his hands and said, "I have long admired Lord Wang!"
Wang Wenzhou wiped the blood from his face and said, "Stop hiding your face. Who are you?"
"Haha!" Lin Feigang removed his mask and said, "I am Lin Feigang, and I do not change my name or surname!"
"Who is this idiot to you?" Wang Wenzhou asked, pointing at Lin Qing.
Lin Fei glanced at Lin Qing and said with a wry smile, "He is my grandson."
Wang Wenzhou asked with a smile, "Want to leave the city?"
Lin Fei nodded.
"I don't quite understand. It's understandable that you saved Lin Qing; after all, even if that bastard is no human, he's still your grandson. But why are you killing people indiscriminately in the city?" Wang Wenzhou asked, frowning.
Lin Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I greatly admire Lord Wang's talent. Under Lord Wang's governance, there are only a few hundred yamen runners in Hanshan County, plus several thousand more in the labor camps outside the city. I really can't think of a way to escape unscathed. If I had known that Lord Wang was so easy to catch, I wouldn't have killed so many people."
"Old Lin, you're a seasoned bandit yourself! Don't you understand the collusion between officials and bandits? Do you think I'm some kind of incorruptible official? As long as the money is right, do you think I wouldn't let your idiot go?" Wang Wenzhou said angrily.
"Wang the Fool! I fucking..." Lin Qing still wanted to go up and hit Wang Wenzhou.
"Qing'er! How dare you be so rude!" Lin Feigang roared, and Lin Qing looked at her grandfather Lin Feigang with a wronged expression.
"Lord Wang's appetite is far too great. Even if I sell everything I own, I'm afraid I still won't be able to save my grandson," Lin Fei said calmly.
"Listen up, you thieves! Release our young master at once!" At this moment, Wang Qiang finally arrived with the special forces battalion.
In no time, more than 500 yamen runners and special forces surrounded Lin Feigang and his men.
When the people saw the "officers and soldiers" arrive, they all gathered around. Many of the people who had just lost their loved ones pointed at the men in black and cursed them.
"Kill these bastards!"
"Thieves all deserve to die!"
"Lord Wang, please escort us out of the city!" Lin Fei said calmly.
Damn it! Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment. His reputation as a righteous official was in jeopardy. If he really released them, he'd be cursed to death by the people. But if he didn't release them, he'd lose his life.
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Old Lin, have Wang Qiang come over. I have a few words to say to him."
"Haha!" Lin Fei laughed loudly, "Lord Wang, don't try anything funny. I know that the four city gates are already heavily guarded by your men. If you don't give the order, we won't be able to leave the city. Are you planning to die for your cause, Lord Wang?"
"Old Lin, you think too highly of me! I'm not done living yet! Don't worry, I just don't want to ruin my reputation. How about this? We can cooperate. I'll let you out of the city, but I can't say 'let you go' yet..." Wang Wenzhou explained his plan.
Lin Fei shook his head with a wry smile. Wang Qingtian? What a load of rubbish! Wang Wenzhou is nothing but a coward, a complete and utter scoundrel!
