Chapter 160: Are You Trying to Rebel?

t."Zhen Shiran was very well-behaved and obedient. She hugged the pomegranate and went to her room.At the moment she heard the door close, Huo Qingzhi turned to Jiashi Ran, a smirk playing on her lips...Perhaps sensing death, Wang Wai not only cowered but also burst into tears, pleading for his life.

Hearing that the other party was about to reveal a secret, Zi Yi looked at Yang Lin.

"I'm not interested." Yang Lin said faintly.

Master Wang was greatly astonished.

Seeing the purple-clad figure about to make a move, he cried out desperately: "This secret is related to you! Someone is uniting various forces to target you! They not only want to kill you, but also exterminate your entire village!"

Mr. Wang shouted frantically.

Yang Lin frowned: "Continue."

"Will you, will you promise to let me go"

Yang Lin nodded. "As long as the information you provide is valuable, I can let you go. A gentleman's word is his bond!"

"Wang Yuanwai finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly said: 'It's Wu Zhixian! During this time, he brought in two gangs of bandits from outside the region and united with several small bandit groups within Jianghe County, making up a force of two hundred men. They plan to attack Kaoshan Village tomorrow! He wants to capture you alive, and kill everyone else!'

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes: "How did you find out about such a secret matter"

“I… I contacted one of the bandits myself, and their supplies and weapons were provided by me! Honestly, everything I’m saying is true! Several bandit lieutenants have already entered the city and are currently at Magistrate Wu's manor!”

Fearing Yang Lin might not believe him, Wang Yuanwai went on to describe many details, including who came up with the idea, how they conspired, and their plans for action.

The more Yang Lin listened, the colder his eyes became.

> Is there anything else

Yang Lin asked.

Wang Yuanwai was taken aback and hurriedly recalled carefully, making sure he hadn't missed anything. Only then did he shake his head.

"That's it, I've said everything I know!"

Yang Lin nodded and said to Zi Yi, "Kill him."

In purple, without hesitation, drew a soft sword from her waist.

Wang Yuanwai was greatly shocked and his eyes were filled with despair: "You, you promised to let me go! How can you break your word!"

Yang Lin sneered: "A gentleman's word is his bond, but I am not a gentleman."

And honesty isn't something you, a beast like you, would understand!

"Dare to wrong the woman I love, and you still think you can live"

Yang Lin's eyes were cold.

Purple immediately, without hesitation, struck with her sword, sealing his throat!

In a blink of an eye, Wang Yuanwai's eyes were filled with death.

For Yang Lin, his words didn't count. Zi Yi didn't care. In her view, those who accomplish great things shouldn't be bound by petty details!

To clearly want to kill but not kill, that's not integrity, that's pedantry!

Yang Lin embraced Wu Mei, holding her close in his arms to shield her from the bloody scene.

"Let's go."

He didn't intend to make a move here directly, but after learning what Magistrate Wu planned to do, he knew this matter was bound to escalate!

Just as Yang Lin was stopping Wu Mei and, under Zi Yi's protection, had just walked out of the inn, Wang Yuanwai's guard arrived with a squad of yamen officers.

"They're the ones! Don't let them get away!" the guard shouted.

The guards also rushed forward, surrounding Yang Lin and his companions.

The officer in charge of the patrol was someone he knew, it was none other than Zhang Wu who had extorted 1300 coins from him back then.

Zhang Wu saw Yang Lin and couldn't help but be startled. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but the next moment, as if he had thought of something, a flash of ferocity appeared in his eyes! He was once Zhou Jia's confidant. After Zhou Jia was destroyed, although Yang Lin didn't treat him harshly, these days he still made him feel uneasy.

Until Magistrate Wu found him and hinted that as long as Yang Lin was removed, he would be made the chief clerk of the Department of Punishment!

He also knew that Wu, the county magistrate, was preparing to deal with Yang Lin.

But he did not expect to see him here today. When he saw that there were only two frail women beside Yang Lin, he immediately developed a wicked heart.

Eliminating Yang Lin not only allows me to make a great contribution in front of the magistrate, but also...

Thinking back to that beautiful little beauty, Zhang Wu gritted his teeth!

Such a beautiful woman, she should be mine!

Wang Yuanwai's guards knew of Zi Yi's prowess. Seeing several people had come out, they hurriedly asked from afar, "Where is our master"

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he cried out loudly: "Good, Yang Lin! In broad daylight, you actually killed Wang Wenguan! You are truly bold and daring. Now that we have caught you, where do you think you can run Surrender to us obediently!"

"Zhang Wu, is that you"

Yang Lin squinted his eyes, faintly remembering the name.

"Back then, you swindled me out of my money, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. You came looking for trouble yourself"

And you as well! Since I have already killed Wang Wenguan, it doesn't matter if I kill a few more. Are you truly going to die with Zhang Wu

Yang Lin coldly scanned the yamen officers before him.

As there were only a dozen or so people on the other side, and Zi Yi was among them, Yang Lin felt confident.

Zhang Wu was greatly surprised.

Mr. Wang is...dead

He naturally didn't know that Yang Lin had already killed Wang Wai. Just now, he only intended to casually put a hat on Yang Lin, pinning a crime on him. As long as he got caught, wouldn't he be at his mercy

Unbeknownst to all, Yang Lin was audacious enough to actually kill Wang, the magistrate!

Wang Yuanwai is the county magistrate's nephew, you know!

He even dared to kill the county magistrate's nephew...

Is Yang Lin crazy

Seeing that even the surrounding guards were intimidated and about to retreat, Zhang Wu, though frightened, noticed there were only two women beside Yang Lin. He steeled his nerves and shouted, "Yang Lin is guilty of murder! If we don't apprehend him today, he won't let us go either! Brothers, they are outnumbered, the advantage is ours! Let's charge together!"

Saying that, Zhang Wu rushed out first.

Perhaps his words actually worked, and the constables also charged up with menacing expressions.

They were mostly trusted aides of the Zhou and Zhao families. They were used to bullying others and acting arrogantly in their daily lives. During this time, they had been ridden over by Yang Lin. They were both afraid and resentful of him. Now that they finally had an opportunity, just like Zhang Wu thought, they all wanted to take advantage of it and get rid of Yang Lin!

Yang Lin reached for his lower back.

There's his secret weapon.

But before he could unveil his secret weapon, Ziyi was already like the wind, standing before him. With a light turn of her soft sword, a crimson stain blossomed on an official's chest!

"Swish swish swish—"

After several consecutive sword strikes, several constables had already fallen to the ground.

In purple robes, she dances with her sword, movements flowing like clouds and water. Graceful as a dance, yet every stroke pierces through flesh!

A few more yamen guards who were still shouting and hadn't reached the front, in astonishment discovered that those ahead of them had fallen to the ground, lifeless.

Suddenly, someone was so scared that they peed their pants.

Seeing that Ziyi could handle it with ease, Yang Lin then retracted his hand, holding onto his fifth sister and chatting and laughing merrily.

Zhang Wu was shocked and trembled, but he still forced himself to suppress his fear, gritting his teeth and saying: "Yang Lin, you dare to kill a government official in broad daylight Are you rebelling"

Just then, a flurry of galloping hooves came thundering from afar...e had just returned, Zhao Fugui also came back"Jǐngge, I'm leaving first!"Without saying much to Du Jing, Yang Lin hurriedly led Xiao Jiu away.As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw Zhao Fu貴 runn...
