Chapter 76: A Grand Gift for the Zhou Family

the news, people from all directions flocked there, coming in an endless stream, making it even more lively than the town market."Hey hey hey, get out of my way!"Liu Liang fanned himself, swaggering a...Anyone can see what these villagers from the remote mountain area are up to!

The common people widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at the scene before them.

Some people are afraid, while others are excited.

But more people are blood boiling!

The river is just a small place. It's not common to have criminals beheaded in the county town, but now they are actually going to execute someone, and it's a notorious bandit who murdered and robbed people, doing all sorts of evil. Naturally, the people cheered with joy.

Zhong Tao, holding a knife, eyes bloodshot red, walked forward.

The four bandits tied to the ground were trembling like chaff at this moment, and even two of them had already been scared out of their wits.

"Please, please, don't kill me... I have money, I have money! All my money is yours!"

"AAAAAAA, Spare me, spare me! Please don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

There was both pleading and threats.

"We, Black Wind Mountain, have dozens of brothers! You, you, if you dare to touch me, our brothers from Black Wind Mountain will not let you off!"

One bandit charged at Zhong Tao, roaring with viciousness in his eyes.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Zhong Tao arrived before him brandishing a knife.

"You, you...don't, don't..."

Just now, this bandit was fierce and intimidating, but now he's scared.

"Die!"

Zhong Tao hesitated for no moment, his great sword fell.

The bandit's neck spurted with blood, a large head rolling and gurgling to the side.

Just moments ago, the stubborn bandit was full of tough talk. Now, he's just a headless corpse, sprawled on the ground.

"Good!!"

A crowd of onlookers erupted in cheers.

Human nature is inherently kind. Though the common people may not always be quick to condemn evil, their hatred for bandits is universal.

Seeing someone kill a bandit on the street, they only felt exhilaration!

One head hit the ground, and the two bandits who had just been so scared they pissed themselves immediately fainted.

Only the one left standing, also fell to the ground, curled up and trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at this scene, many people felt sentimental.

Even the most ruthless bandits can be afraid! They lost their reverence for life, and when they wantonly took the lives of others, they never considered that one day their own lives would also be taken at will.

After beheading the first bandit, Zhong Tao did not continue to attack the second. Instead, he picked up the severed head and placed it in a wooden box nearby.

The head fits perfectly!

The onlookers only then discovered that there were exactly sixteen wooden chests right there.

Could it be...

Without giving them much time to ponder, Zhong Tao seemed to become a cold machine. After collecting the heads, he raised his knife and charged at the second bandit.

In a chorus of agonizing screams and pleas, the third and fourth bandits met their ends, falling to the ground one after another!

The people cheered with enthusiasm and excitement.

But some people have wondered why the bandits' heads were collected in the first place.

Zhong Tao, on this side, seemed to have gone blood-red eyed. After beheading four surviving bandits, he carried his sword and approached the twelve corpses, already mutilated beyond recognition. He severed each bandit's head, placing them all into a box.

After finishing all of this, Zhong Tao threw the large knife in his hand, came to Yang Lin's front, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists in salute.

Yang Lin nodded and stepped forward to help Zhong Tao up. "You've worked hard," he said.

Zhong Tao shook his head. "Being able to avenge them would make me feel a little better."

He once killed many enemies in the army and several bandits. He wouldn't have any psychological burden from it.

On the contrary, yesterday, he himself couldn't withstand the bandits, which made him feel very guilty.

"Alright, we should go give the gifts!" Yang Lin stood tall once more and shouted, "According to the Great Qi Laws, killing bandits rewards one gold coin!"

"Since these bandits were sent by the Zhou family, then this reward money should go to the Zhou family!"

"I will now present these sixteen taels of silver to the Zhou family!"

Saying that, Yang Lin jumped down from the height and shouted: "Let's go!"

Bodies, headless and lifeless, were thrown onto the wagons. The villagers beat drums once more, carrying wooden boxes, parading through the streets toward the Zhou family’s home.

The onlookers were once again shocked.

To send the body to the Zhou family

What does this mean

Dare he make a move against the Zhou family again

Zhou Kun was the head of the jail, and in Jianghe County, he was also a powerful figure!

If Yang Lin dares to touch the Zhou family, things will be serious!

Those who came to watch the commotion were never afraid of trouble, and the county townsfolk followed the "gift-giving" procession from Laoshang Village toward Zhou's house.

Inside Zhou's grand estate.

At this moment, Zhou Kun was pacing anxiously back and forth in his study.

The black tiger has been gone for so long, yet there's not a single sound. This makes him very uneasy.

"Father, rest assured. With Black Tiger involved, where could Yang Lin possibly run" Zhou Zhengyang took a sip of tea and said dismissively.

Zhou Kun nodded. "With Hei Hu taking action, I'm naturally at ease. However, that Yang Lin is very cunning. If we let him escape, it will be troublesome to catch him again in the future."

Zhou Zhengyang coldly spoke, "If he didn't have that formula in his hands, I would really like to kill him! He dares not put our Zhou family in his eyes, so we must let him know that my Zhou family is someone he can't afford to mess with!"

Recalling how Yang Lin had ignored him in Kaoshan Village that day, and then he had to cooperate with Yang Lin afterwards, Zhou Zhengyang was filled with anger.

At that moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, come out and have a look!"

Zhou Kun frowned: "What's the matter"

"Yang Lin is here!" the butler said.

"What"

Zhou Kun and Zhou Zhengyang were both startled.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Kun asked urgently, "What's going on"

Zhou Zhengyang pressed further: "So you're saying Black Tiger brought Yang Lin here"

"No, no." The butler shook his head hastily. "It's Yang Lin, he... he brought hundreds of people from his village outside, saying they want to give us a big gift!"

... "Just..."

The housekeeper hesitated to speak.

"What is it"

Zhou Kun hurriedly asked.

The steward hurried to say, "Only I saw them. Some of them had blood on their bodies and carried many strange wooden boxes. The smell of blood was very strong. They don't seem to be friendly people!"

Zhou Kun's eyes widened.

A box

The smell of blood

Zhou Kun was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what the connection was between the two.

"Father, no matter what Yang Lin is up to, since he's come knocking on our door, we can take advantage of this opportunity and send a few officers. Just come up with any excuse and arrest him!"

"This Jianghe County is our territory, isn't it easy to clean up"

Zhou Kun, however, frowned: "No rush, let's go outside and take a look first! I want to see what he sent me!"

Even if he racked his brain, he would never have guessed that those boxes contained the heads of the black tiger and those bandits!s all successful!When Yang Lin arrived, he hurried to try it himself. The result left him very satisfied.Although the strength of cement was not as good as later generations, mixing it with sand and w...
