Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

This question revealed his inner fear and helplessness.

Seeing County Magistrate Qin so panic-stricken, Gao Qiang couldn't help but curse him in his heart, secretly criticizing the county magistrate for being a coward and completely irresponsible.

Why didn't he immediately call over the numerous officers under his command, tie up these two lawless men, and punish them severely according to the law to set things right?

Behind Gao Qiang, a dozen or so officers who usually looked majestic and awe-inspiring could not help but feel timid in this tense atmosphere. Their legs and feet trembled slightly, and they exchanged uneasy glances with each other, their hearts beating like drums.

I originally thought that by stepping into the county magistrate's mansion and facing the county magistrate directly, I would be able to tell my grievances and seek fair treatment. However, I never expected that in this secluded mansion, I would meet this pair of ferocious monsters.

Obviously, the two of them not only arrived first, but also had the upper hand in momentum, as if they had already laid a tight net.

Fan Yanmu strode up to County Magistrate Qin with big strides, and the sharp long knife in his hand lightly tapped County Magistrate Qin's wrist squarely.

The county magistrate suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the sword in his hand lost its strength and fell on the bluestone slab with a clang.

The tip of the knife slid down, and the cold light instantly pressed against the fragile throat of County Magistrate Qin. Fan Yanmu's face was frozen like ice, and his voice was low and powerful: "He privately used his power to send people to Liushui Township and force the people to mine. Who is the mastermind behind this?"

County Magistrate Qin's legs couldn't help but tremble, but he still forced himself to remain calm and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are just a ruffian, how dare you threaten me with a knife? You know that the law is ruthless, do you really think you can get away with it? Yue Pingshan, as the county magistrate, I naturally have the right to decide whether to mine or not, how can you have any say in this?"

Before he finished speaking, County Magistrate Qin caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the officials had recovered from their fright and were picking up their dropped weapons. Their eyes were full of vicious hostility, and they were fixed on Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue.

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate reprimanded them again, trying to use the power of the officials to reverse the situation.

Seeing that the situation had reversed slightly, Gao Qiang quickly exchanged a tacit glance with the officers, who immediately understood. More than a dozen officers, holding sharp blades, quickly gathered together to form an impenetrable human wall, surrounding Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue.

"Surrender your hands, or don't blame us for being ruthless!" one of them warned sternly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixue curled up a sneer. She calmly put her hands behind her back, and when she turned back, there were a few more stones in her hands, as cold and beautiful as snow, with murderous intent hidden in them.

"I wanted to give you a chance to live because you are ignorant, but you chose to die and offered yourself up. In that case, I will grant your wish." Her tone was calm and resolute.

After saying that, Xiao Zhixue stretched out her body and rushed towards Gao Qiang like an arrow.

The officers reacted quickly and stepped forward to block the attack. Three of them swung their swords at her, but Xiao Zhixue was faster. In the blink of an eye, three stones flew towards them like meteors chasing the moon, accurately hitting their lower abdomens.

The three of them didn't even have the chance to cry out in pain before they fell to the ground with a bang. After a while, blood slowly flowed out of their mouths, noses and other orifices without a sound.

This scene made Gao Qiang's face turn pale as paper in an instant. The official beside him shouted in panic: "That beggar...she...is poisonous!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. No one dared to come forward and they retreated one after another, fearing that they would be contaminated by some unexpected disaster.

Fan Yanmu glanced at Xiao Zhixue's confident smile and the small but deadly stone in her hand, and sighed in his heart that her bravery, determination, and ruthlessness were beyond his imagination.

Magistrate Qin was horrified when he witnessed this series of unexpected events, and he felt extremely regretful. He couldn't help but ask himself what sin he had committed in his past life that led him to meet these two desperate criminals.

Xiao Zhixue glanced around and gave the officers a meaningful smile. That smile was both gentle and cold. "I remember that you were the ones who kidnapped my family before, right?"

Although she was talking and laughing, there was a chilling coldness in her eyes.

The officers were terrified, as if their hearts were suddenly grasped by invisible hands.

Those innocent villagers were indeed arrested by them, and the black hand behind the scenes who controlled the overall situation was none other than the extremely powerful Gao Qiang in front of them.

With fear and astonishment mixed in their emotions, everyone moved backwards slowly and uncontrollably, and their eyes were focused on Gao Qiang at the same time. The silent questions and requests for help were conveyed without words.

How could Xiao Zhixue not understand the pleading in their eyes? But this time, there was no room for tolerance in her heart and she was determined to enforce justice to the end.

Gao Qiang's heart was burning with rage, but the wounds on his arms from the previous fierce fight were like shackles, constantly reminding him that his strength was greatly reduced and he was no match for Xiao Zhixue.

The accompanying officials were even more panicked under the pressure of Xiao Zhixue's sharp aura. They felt as if they were on the edge of an abyss, with cold sweat dripping down their cheeks. Their fear was beyond words, and their legs unconsciously retreated.

Gao Qiang wished he could strangle Xiao Zhixue's throat immediately and make this annoying existence disappear from the world.

But the reality of powerlessness forced him to suppress his murderous intent.

Xiao Zhixue raised a cold smile and said lightly, "So it was you who really did this. If that's the case, don't even think that anyone can escape punishment."

Before she finished her words, the stone in her hand seemed to turn into a meteor in the night sky, streaking across the sky and heading straight towards the crowd.

The night was as dark as ink, and the officers' vision was blurred in the gloom. They only felt the sudden sound of wind beside their ears, followed by a heart-wrenching pain that instantly swept through their bodies.

When they lowered their heads in fear, they saw that the tiny stone was deeply embedded in their skin. Expressions of pain and fear froze on their faces. Then they fell to the ground one by one, blood gushing out, and blood seeped out of all their seven orifices. The scene was horrifying.

Gao Qiang witnessed the tragic deaths of his companions with his own eyes, and was terrified to the extreme. He tried to find a way to survive but was surrounded by enemies and had nowhere to escape.

But just as he took a few steps, he felt an unbearable pain in his abdomen, as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart.

Looking down, he saw a bloody stone lying quietly at his feet. It was a fatal blow that pierced his waist. Blood gushed out like a spring. With a heavy "bang", his body collapsed weakly and his limbs completely lost the strength to support themselves.

After a futile struggle, Gao Qiang finally sank into silence in the blood-stained night.

The county officials who witnessed this scene all changed color and lost their voices. They huddled together and dared not even breathe, for fear that they would be the next one.
