After hearing Zhao Mingtang's words, the old eunuch's expression changed slightly, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Although the people of Hewan Village may not necessarily believe what he said before, they still have hope in their hearts.
What if?
If Zhao Mingtang keeps his word, everyone will be happy.
But now, anyone who is not a fool would not think that Zhao Mingtang can really fulfill this promise.
Adding superfluous features and seeking death is what Zhao Mingtang is talking about.
The old eunuch wanted to curse.
If you can't speak, don't you know how to keep quiet?
If you don't say anything, you can still let the people of Hebend Village continue to quarrel, and maybe you can buy a lot of time.
It's okay now. Those mud-legged people have fully realized that Zhao Mingtang was fooling them.
Sure enough, some villagers gritted their teeth and said: "Bah, brothers, this guy thinks of us as fools."
“I don’t know how many people have starved to death in our village before, but these guys from the Zhao family are so hard-hearted that they won’t let us go hunting no matter what.”
"Hunting is not allowed, and fishing is not allowed. Apart from farming and mining for the Zhao family, we are not allowed to do anything."
"Now this guy is in our hands, trying his best to promise us benefits in order to survive. What he says at this time is absolutely unbelievable."
"Brothers, it is the Immortal who makes us and our wives, children and parents have enough to eat. Before the Immortal, how did those moths in the Zhao family bully us? Have you all forgotten?"
"This guy just gives us what we deserve, and we have to happily thank these guys?"
More and more people came to their senses, and their eyes looked at Zhao Mingtang with murderous intent.
Now Zhao Mingtang was really scared. He immediately hid behind the old eunuch and stumblingly said: "Wait...wait a minute, you untouchables still...what else do you want? As long as I can do it, I will reward you with it all." You guys. Whether it’s money, spiritual weapons, or skills, we have them all.”
The more eager he is, the more clearly the people of Hebend Village can see this guy's hypocrisy.
"Enough!"
A commoner from Hewan Village who had an ordinary appearance and could not be found in the crowd stood up and shouted angrily with tears in his eyes: "Stop pretending in front of us. I will never forget that my sister was seriously ill three years ago. Sometimes, I want to go up the mountain to catch some prey and sell it secretly to treat my sister’s illness.”
"But you discovered me just after I caught my prey. Not only did you snatch my prey away, you also locked me up. By the time I was released from prison, my sister had...already..."
< br>
At this point, the manly man couldn't help crying.
Others have experienced similar situations, to a greater or lesser extent.
After someone took the lead, it almost turned into a meeting to criticize the Zhao family.
Zhao Mingtang is a man who wants to cry without tears. He wants to explain that these things have nothing to do with him.
He is a dignified son of the Zhao family, and he doesn't even bother to bully ordinary people.
But most of these things happened because of the rules set by the Zhao family, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
Zhou Kunshan was still racking his brains thinking about how to continue to encourage the people so that they would not be deceived and let go of Zhao Mingtang, this big scourge.
As a result, before he could come up with a solution, the situation at the scene had already taken a turn for the worse.
Many people in Hewan Village roared with red eyes and gnashed teeth.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The encirclement began to shrink again, and this time even the old eunuch felt the pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
Zheng Yi nodded with satisfaction, these guys did not disappoint him.
Zhou Kunshan was right. The situation just now was indeed Zheng Yi's test of them.
If these people can't even pass this level, there will be no way to talk about more dangerous things later.
Even Zheng Yi was a little surprised. The person who broke the situation was only a little person who had not paid attention to it at first, and not Zhou Kunshan, who had high hopes for him.
Seeing that their anger had been completely aroused, Zheng Yi finally made his next move.
He nodded slightly toward a big tree nearby.
Whoosh.
A human head flew out and landed among Zhao Mingtang and the people of Hewan Village.
After seeing the head, the old eunuch's face looked wonderful, alternately red, white, black and purple, just like a neon light that kept flashing.
Zhao Mingtang didn't know what was going on, but the old eunuch knew it very well.
This head was clearly the guard he had secretly sent out to report the news.
There were ice crystals hanging on the man's head, solidifying the fear and anxiety on his face.
Feng Haitao's figure fell from the big tree, knelt on one knee and clasped his fist towards Zheng Yi: "My lord, the guy who tipped off the news has been dealt with by me."
Zhou Kunshan was trembling secretly in his heart. Feng Haitao had been hiding there for who knows how long, just waiting for this opportunity to appear.
Sure enough, the lord has figured everything out.
Thinking about his inaction just now, Zhou Kunshan became even more depressed.
He gritted his teeth and roared: "Brothers, follow me and cut this bastard who fooled us into pieces!"
The people of Hewan Village swarmed forward like a pack of wolves smelling blood.
The old eunuch tried his best to resist, but he was seriously injured and exhausted. Even though the people in Hewan Village were not as good as him, in the face of the absolute numerical gap, the powerful old eunuch only resisted a few moves and was defeated. He was beaten unconscious with a stick.
"Damn it, you untouchables don't come here!" Zhao Mingtang yelled in horror.
"I am from the Zhao family. If you dare to kill me, you..."
The next moment, Zhao Mingtang was drowned by the angry crowd, and his voice stopped abruptly.
The next moment, Zhao Mingtang was about to die at the hands of the people of Hewan Village.
Zheng Yi suddenly said coldly: "Don't kill this person yet, leave me alive."
After everyone in Hewan Village cheered and dispersed, Zhao Mingtang was almost unrecognizable. His whole body was stained red with blood, his face was red, black and green and twisted together, with more air coming out and less air coming in.
Although he successfully stopped the people of Hewan Village, Zheng Yi also knew that the anger they had just aroused would not calm down so easily.
Although the Zhao family has been dealt with, there are still those guards who were knocked unconscious just now.
"No one of these people will be left alive!"
As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, two guards who were lying on the ground jumped up and ran outside.
It seemed that they were just pretending to be faint.
Now that they know that Zheng Yi and the others are going to kill everyone, naturally they can no longer pretend.
Their actions were not unpleasant, but the people of Hewan Village, who were red-eyed, would not let them go so easily.
Due to the huge disparity in numbers, the two escaping guards were quickly overtaken and surrounded to death.
As for the unlucky ones who were knocked unconscious, they had no chance to wake up again.
Zheng Yi walked slowly to Zhao Mingtang and looked at him condescendingly.
Zhao Mingtang, who was covered in blood, said with difficulty: "You... don't have a good death..." Zheng Yi snorted coldly: "You Zhao family have done all kinds of evil. You have ruled the world for so many years, and you have forced many people to death."
"Even if I die badly, it's not my turn."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, now I will ask you to answer."
"Bah!" Zhao Mingtang spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood.
Zheng Yi had been prepared for a long time and had already avoided Zhao Mingtang before he made any move.
"Wrong answer!" Zheng Yi's cold voice sounded, and he kicked Zhao Mingtang's arm, causing Zhao Mingtang's arm to break with a click.
"Ah!" Even the people of Hewan Village, who were red-eyed with bloodshed, felt unbearable when they heard the shrill scream.
"Why did you come to Hewan Village?" Zheng Yi's cold voice sounded again.
"I am...hiss..." How could a young man like Zhao Mingtang withstand severe torture?
Originally, he felt that he would definitely die and was not afraid of Zheng Yi's interrogation. But Zheng Yi just kicked his arm off, and the severe pain completely frightened Zhao Mingtang.
Therefore, when Zheng Yi officially started asking questions, Zhao Mingtang had no intention of hiding anything.
Just because I have never experienced this kind of pain, when I touch the wound when I open my mouth, it suddenly hurts so much that I can't say complete words.
As a result, just as he gasped, there was another sharp pain in his hand that was stronger than before.
But Zheng Yi got impatient and crushed one of Zhao Mingtang's fingers.
Zhao Mingtang was now sweating profusely, and his clothes were almost soaked. The pain was too strong, and he did not dare to scream easily. His face was starting to turn purple from holding it in.
"Stop it. I will tell you whatever you ask me. Don't come here, you devil."
Two consecutive attacks of power completely overwhelmed Zhao Mingtang.
"Why come to our Hewan Village?" Zheng Yi said.
After suffering the loss last time, even if he was in severe pain, Zhao Mingtang did not dare to hesitate at all.
"When I came to the mountains to hunt, I found traces left by other people on the mountains, so I followed the clues and found them."
"I saw someone in your village dared to poach, so I decided to teach you a lesson."
"I really just want to teach you a lesson. I have absolutely no intention of killing anyone. Please believe me." Zhao Mingtang tried his best to pretend to be sincere, hoping that the killer in front of him would let him go.
"Does anyone know that you have been to our Heshan Village?" Zheng Yi's question continued.
"Not many people should know this. I came out to hunt..." As he spoke, Zhao Mingtang couldn't finish the rest of his words.
I just found out that one of them went back to report the news, and neither this evil star nor those mud-legged people were going to let him go.
Now that the other party has figured it out, no one knows that he will appear here, and the other party will definitely kill him!
Zhao Mingtang suddenly became anxious: "You really can't kill me. I am a direct descendant of the Zhao family. If you dare to kill me, you will definitely regret it!"
Zheng Yi nodded at Zhou Kunshan: "Leave it to you."
Zhou Kunshan hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "No!"
He stood up and walked towards Zhao Mingtang with murderous intent. Zhao Mingtang lay on the ground and rubbed his back desperately, as if he wanted to distance himself from Zhou Kunshan.
But at such a snail's pace, how could he escape?
When Zhou Kunshan came to Zhao Mingtang, his thoughts were a little complicated for a moment.
He also didn't expect that he would do such a thing so quickly.
"If you want to blame, blame it on you being from the Zhao family." Zhou Kunshan raised his fist and hit Zhao Mingtang hard.
The latter didn't even utter a cry of pain.
His whole head was blown apart by Zhou Kunshan's punch, and red and white ones flew in all directions. The scene was extremely shocking.
Not to mention the people of Hewan Village, even Zheng Yi was speechless.
He just let Zhou Kunshan touch the lives of the Zhao family, which was regarded as a surrender.
Who would have thought that this guy would create such a big battle in order to show his loyalty.
Of course, this kind of scene is bloody and cruel to others.
In Zheng Yi's eyes, it really is nothing.
After all, he has killed more people directly and indirectly than everyone in the entire Hebend Village combined has seen.
"Clean this place clean and don't leave any traces. Maybe the Zhao family will find it in some way."
"If anyone asks, just say you haven't seen it."
"The investigators would never have thought that it was us who killed Zhao Mingtang, his entourage and others."
That night, Zheng Yi created another "Qi Hiding Technique" and gave it to the people of Hewan Village.
As their strength rapidly increases, it is inevitable that they will attract unnecessary attention.
This "Qi Hiding Technique" can make them look like they are at the middle stage of Qi training at most. As long as they are not masters of the Golden Core stage and use their spiritual sense to investigate carefully, they will definitely not be able to discover their true cultivation level.
After getting rid of the Zhao family, Zheng Yi also started working non-stop to prepare the next plan.
The army has not moved, but the intelligence comes first.
The first thing Zheng Yi needs to know is the detailed information of the mine where they are located.
The person who manages this mine is called Zhao Tianming.
Although their surname is Zhao, like Zhao Qing, they are not part of the Zhao family. It was just to win them over, so I gave them a surname.
There are ninety-seven guards in the mine.
Although the number seemed small, there were 80 people at the peak of Qi training, 16 at the early stage of foundation building, and one guard leader at the peak of foundation building.
These people are the entire defense force of the mine.
Others are like Zhao Qing, who are responsible for helping out in several villages.
and the accounting office responsible for accounting management.
The garrison strength of more than ninety people didn't seem to be too many.
But this is the world of monks, and monks with absolute military superiority are simply not something ordinary miners can match.
Looking at the detailed information of the mine, the corners of Zheng Yi's mouth curled up slightly: "As expected, the Zhao family is not managing it personally. I accepted this mine without mercy."
Zheng Yi already had a plan on how to deal with Zhao Tianming.
It's just that it will take some time for Zhao Tianming to go to the Zhao family to report on his work, and it will take some time before he can return to the mine. Even if Zheng Yi has thousands of ways, he can only wait patiently for the opportunity.
During this time, Zheng Yi was not idle either.
Let Zhou Kunshan and others collect as much useful information as possible.
The approximate cultivation level of each guard, as well as their identity. Also, what is the situation in the surrounding villages that are mining with them? (End of chapter)
