Chapter 46 You Come, I Go

ousand lambs, and ten thousand calves!""I, by imperial decree, order a retrial of all cases within the Flying Dragon City prison. This is to bring justice to the people and clear their grievances. Sen...Ten miles outside Feilong City, a strong metallic scent rose up, only to be swept away by the howling cold wind.

It's just amidst the bloody smell there's a faint scent of barbecue, which is puzzling.

"Sir."

A disguised soldier arrived beside Zhang Liyang. Although he had seen this many times before, his gaze was still drawn to the corpse at Zhang Liyang's feet.

Although this body was curled up like a waterlogged bamboo stick, charred by the flames, the soldier recognized their target from his clothes!

A faint smell of barbecue wafted to his nose, but the soldier forcibly suppressed the churning in his stomach. He bowed respectfully to Zhang Liyang and said, "My lord, the count is complete. No one has been left behind."

In fact, without soldiers needing to report back, just by looking at the system-provided mission completion information and the reward of twenty blood dan, Zhang Liyang already knew that he had wiped out this group of people.

"It wasn't for nothing that I endured the cold wind outside for two days!"

In order to ambush these people, Zhang Liyang led his troops and wandered outside for two days before Hu Feng appeared.

Well, have you found out anything

"Yes."

Upon hearing the soldier say there was something, Zhang Liyang looked over with a hint of surprise, "What have you found"

"One of our men knows someone who is a leader in the underground gang controlled by the Bai family."

It's all thanks to luck. When Xue An was still around, he used to take them out every day to have a good time, and during that time, they met people from the Bai family. Xue An even had some minor conflicts with them back then, and one of those people just happened to be here.

"White family" Zhang Liyang's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems you've also reached an alliance!"

"Pass the order down, have those bodies cleaned up."

"Yes!"

From the start to the end of the raid, it took only half an hour. However, it took a full two hours to clean up all these corpses.

There's no other way, we're too close to Flying Dragon City. To avoid alerting anyone, we have to painstakingly handle the bodies.

Here, Zhang Liyang has already begun cleaning up his battlefield, but the smoke of gunpowder in Feilong City is just beginning to burn.

At the very beginning, it was the Xue family who rose up in rebellion. They first offered a granary filled with grain for free, which attracted a large number of people to gather at the entrance of the Xue family's house.

Following this, the Xue family seized the opportunity to begin recounting how their granary had been burned and their son had bravely died in battle protecting the people's grain.

The Xue family used to be disliked by the common people, but now that they have opened their granaries and released grain, that dislike has decreased considerably. Now, looking at the Xue family's decorations, which are full of white banners, even these kind-hearted people can't help but condemn those thieves.

Some people even couldn't help but shout, asking Xue Baosheng if he didn't know who started the fire.

But for this question, Xue Baosheng just shook his head, a look of pain on his face.

Xue Baosheng remained silent, but someone in the crowd spoke up, "Isn't this obvious Who benefits the most from Xue Family opening their granaries and releasing grain It's the one who set the fire!"

"Yes, that brother is right!"

"Indeed, the one who sets the fire suffers the most from it!"

But wouldn't releasing grain from storage be a great deed that would benefit everyone

"Of course, who benefits from this"

A hush fell over the crowd as the question was posed, until a faint voice spoke up from within, "Could it be the Jia family"

One word awakened the dreamer. As soon as the two characters "Jia" appeared, everyone reacted instantly.

Of course, opening the granaries and releasing grain would cause the most damage to the Jia family!

Because it was the Jia family who inflated prices in the first place, leading to them running out of food in the end!

"Why, it's the Jia family!"

"I knew it all along, it must be that damned Jia family without a doubt!"

"Damn it, the Jia family is going to kill us all!"

Looking at the excited crowd below, a coldness flashed in Xue Baosheng's eyes, which were still filled with pain.

This is the Xue family's counterattack against the Jia family!

Let all the people in the city hate the Jia family. Although this hatred won't reduce Jia Fengxian's flesh by an ounce, the Xue family has already stood on the side of the people!

Especially when this matter spread throughout the city, no one went to Jia's shops anymore. Sometimes at night, there would be flames shooting up, and a shop would disappear directly into a sea of fire.

Losing the people's hearts means nothing to Jia Fengxian, but you cannot touch my shop, for touching my shop is like cutting into my flesh and blood!

As for who set fire to his shop, Jia Fengxian had already grown too lazy to investigate. Jia Fengxian automatically attributed all the blame to the Xue family.

"Go, I want him to turn all the grasslands and fertile land of the Xue family into wasteland!!"

With bloodshot eyes, Jia Fengxian had lost all sense of reason. Since the Xue family had ripped him apart, he naturally wanted to stab their hearts with a knife!

Thus, in the evening, within and outside Feilong City, one could intermittently see flames rising, like giant torches in the dark night, illuminating most of the city.

Sometimes, the two sides clash violently to protect their property, even resulting in bloodshed. The scent of blood hangs heavy in the air above Flying Dragon City at all times.

At first, Jia Fengxian wanted to have his guards protect his shop. However, as soon as they appeared on the street, soldiers from Pianshan Camp would rush out and arrest them under the banner of avenging their captain.

Therefore, Jia Fengxian did not dare to go directly to Mu Yinghua to plead his case. He could only send those guards outside the city to burn down Xue's pastures and good farmland. As for his own shop, he could only watch in agony as it turned to ashes in the fire.

The more shops that were burned down, the angrier Jia Fengxian became, and the harder he hit the Xue family. The Xue family, consumed by vengeance for their son's death, retaliated directly against the Jia family with no room for compromise.

The Xues and the Jias began a life-or-death struggle, Bai Wei watching from the side almost brought out a stool and melon seeds.

Bai Wei only maintained this mood of watching a play for two days.

Has there been any news from Hu Feng yet

"The head of the household, it's not ready yet."

Bai Wei's brow furrowed. Logically, Hu Feng should have been back by now. Although it was possible that Hu Feng encountered a powerful enemy and was delayed, Bai Wei knew Hu Feng's abilities well. Even if he was defeated, escaping should not be a problem.

With some anxiety in his heart, Bai Wei addressed the servant, “Go, send a few people out of the city to look around.”

"Yes."

Where is the young master How many days until he arrives

"According to the time, the young master is scheduled to arrive the day after tomorrow."

Originally, Bai Wei thought that sending people out to look for someone would yield news within a day or two. But after a day or two passed, he received no word from the sent individuals. This left Bai Wei completely disillusioned with his earlier excitement. were clad in leather jackets, with only a few officers wearing armor.But whether it is leather armor or iron armor, under the double strike of cutting and breaking jade, death's outcome cannot be sto...
