Chapter 212 It won’t be wrong to take me along
However, in the face of the middle-aged man's earnest plea, the yamen runner only glanced at the old man lying on the ground with disdain, and then spat fiercely on the ground.
He cursed, "Humph! With the lives of lowly common people like you, you're doomed anyway!
Your father is half dead now, it would be better for him to die soon!
If you truly want to be filial to him, you could just kill him with a knife, so that he doesn't suffer any more pain and torture!"
The middle-aged man's face was filled with fear, his eyes wide open, his head shaking like a rattle, and he kept muttering, "Sir, this is really not possible!
My father was fine two days ago, but he suddenly had a high fever today and now he looks like this!
Please, have mercy on me, I am his biological son, how can I watch my father die in front of me like this!"
Upon hearing this, the yamen runner raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled out a sardonic smile, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, that's fine!
Since you don't have the courage to do it, let me personally send your father to death.
It just so happens that today's sacrifice counts as yours, so that you and your son can be reunited in the netherworld as soon as possible. Haha, this can be considered a great deed by me!"
After he finished speaking, the yamen runner's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he drew out the long sword he was carrying without hesitation. The blade flashed with a cold light, which was chilling.
Then, he took big strides and walked straight towards the old man lying on the ground, dying.
At this moment, Yun Muheng, who had been standing aside and watching coldly, could no longer bear it. He tightly grasped the stone in his hand, his arm muscles tensed, and was about to shoot at the throat of the yamen runner, so as to kill him with one move.
Just as Yun Muheng was about to take action, a small hand suddenly reached out and pressed firmly on his arm.
"Don't be impulsive! Now is not the time to take his life, otherwise it will alert the enemy." Ye Xiaotuan said softly.
After he finished speaking, he swiftly took out a black pill from his pocket, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the pill flew towards the body of the yamen runner like a flash of lightning.
At that moment, the bailiff suddenly felt his stomach being stirred by a surging force, as if countless dragons were tumbling and roaring in it.
The intense discomfort swept over his lower body like a raging tide, causing him to involuntarily clamp his legs together. At the same time, one hand tightly covered his buttocks, his face distorted in extreme pain.
"I'll come back later to deal with you guys!" He squeezed out these words with difficulty, staggered and pushed open the door, and ran out like a gust of wind.
Yun Muheng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. He turned to look at Ye Xiaotuan beside him and gave him a look full of admiration without hesitation.
I thought to myself: I didn't expect that this little guy could be so smart and quick-witted at such a critical moment. It was really beyond my expectation.
Xueer had given me poison before, but I never thought of using it to deal with the yamen runners.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotuan's face was filled with pride. He lowered his voice and boasted to Yun Muheng, "Hey, what do you think? See? It's definitely not a mistake to bring me along!
If you had beaten that bailiff to death in the heat of the moment, it would have caused a huge panic.
Let me tell you, the medicine I gave him was carefully developed by me.
In my opinion, if he doesn't stay for half an hour, it would be a disservice to my unique secret medicine!
Hearing this, Yun Muheng's face instantly became a little gloomy, and even a few black lines appeared faintly on his forehead.
After a moment of silence, he slowly extended a finger and gestured towards Ye Xiaotuan, uttering two words: "You are cruel!"
However, when their eyes inadvertently swept over the old man who was still unconscious on the ground, Yun Muheng's originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn again.
He frowned and asked worriedly, "But what should we do with this old man on the ground now? We can't just leave him here and ignore him..."
Ye Xiaotuan held his chin with his hand, his brows tightly furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
His bright eyes were fixed on the old man lying on the ground not far away, breathing weakly: "Look at how bad this old man's condition is. The disease he is infected with must be the plague.
Right now, we can only wait for Mother to arrive and see if there is any way to save him."
Just as Ye Xiaotuan and the people beside him were discussing quietly in low voices, a loud noise suddenly came from below.
I saw a few more ferocious-looking yamen runners rushing over aggressively.
Each of them held a long leather whip in his hand, waving it in the air from time to time, making a terrifying snapping sound.
At the same time, the yamen runners, all with impatient expressions on their faces, shouted at the poor people: "Hurry up and get up! The time has come, it's time to offer sacrifices, hurry up and go, don't dawdle!"
"Hurry up! If anyone dares to delay, don't blame my whip for being blind!"
Hearing these threatening words, the already terrified people trembled with fear and struggled to get up from the ground.
However, because they were too weak, some people fell to the ground again as soon as they stood up.
Seeing this, the yamen runners not only had no mercy, but raised the whips in their hands and lashed the fallen person fiercely.
For a moment, cries and pleas for mercy were heard one after another, and the scene was in chaos.
In the midst of this chaos, Chen and the guards who had stayed behind to protect everyone's safety finally couldn't stand it anymore.
They walked forward, came to the group of yamen runners, and said sternly: "My dear officials, it is still early now, and we haven't even had time to eat breakfast.
Could you please make some concessions and arrange this matter after we have finished our meal?"
"What? You're still dreaming of eating? This is the biggest joke in the world! Humph, if you want to eat, then wait until you reach the underworld and enjoy it slowly!"
I saw one of the yamen runners shouting with a ferocious face. His ferocious face seemed to be able to scare people to death.
"That's right. It's getting late. You guys should just die quickly and be reborn soon so you don't have to suffer any more here.
Living one more second is just living in endless fear for you."
At this time, another yamen runner also let out a shrill sneer, and the laughter echoed in the air, making people shudder.
At this moment, another bailiff suddenly stepped forward, took a closer look at the group of people before him, and shouted as if suddenly realizing something: "Oh, so it turns out to be the group of unlucky guys who were just arrested yesterday!
Haha, if that’s the case, aren’t you all just seeking death? Well, I’ll be kind today and help you achieve your goal!
After saying that, the vicious yamen runner stretched out his hand without mercy and pushed several of them out with force.
Not far ahead of them, there suddenly appeared a bottomless pit filled with countless poisonous snakes.
Those venomous snakes spit out scarlet tongues, staring at the prey that is about to fall into the trap...
