Chapter 65 Let your blood wash away the filth!

Zhong Yuan stepped forward and helped Zhang Erniu up. His expression was somewhat solemn as he asked Zhang Erniu, "Brother Erniu."

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhang Erniu, his eyes bloodshot, stood up and said, "My benefactor."

"These guys are all river pirates from the Han River Gang!"

"The wavy pattern on their collars is the mark of the Han River Gang."

"The Hanshui Gang has been entrenched in the Hanshui area for many years, and originally, they didn't care about these mountains."

"But somehow, about six months ago, the Han River Gang came ashore and started looting in these mountains."

"Every household that hunts in the mountains has to pay a share of the profits."

"If there is even the slightest delay, they will beat and smash things."

"Originally, three months ago, my benefactor gave me five taels of silver, which was enough for my family to pay for many years' worth of wedding gifts."

"But Ma Wu, seeing how readily my family paid the money last time, has set his sights on my family."

"These days, they often come here to freeload."

Zhong Yuan frowned and asked, "Isn't the government doing anything about it?"

Zhang Erniu sighed slightly and said, "These river pirates come and go without a trace, and there's no fixed schedule."

"Moreover, these people are all desperate criminals who never hesitate to kill."

"They all have martial arts skills, so when the government officials come, it's just a formality."

"Moreover, there is a branch of the Han River Gang in Hekou Ancient Town, which is not far from here."

"The Han River gang has a large number of people and great power, and the government has probably already bribed them from top to bottom."

"How could the government officials really go to the Han River to seek trouble with these river pirates?"

Zhong Yuan was very annoyed.

What a formidable force of the Han River gang!

"The fact that these people are killing so recklessly suggests that they are certain that the government doesn't have the resources to deal with them."

"What God doesn't care about, I'll take care of."

He still had some loose silver in his hand, so he grabbed Zhang Erniu's hand and placed it in Zhang Erniu's hand.

"Brother Erniu, take this money, take the children, and find a place to settle down again."

Zhang Erniu shook his head and said, "My benefactor, you have already done a great favor by saving Luan Luan."

"How could I possibly accept my benefactor's money again?"

Zhong Yuan took a deep breath.

"Brother Erniu, if you trust me, take this money and go to Xiangyang City first, find a place to stay and wait for me."

"I'll wipe out those scumbags from the Han River Gang."

"I will go find you again, and then I will take you to a place where you can settle down again."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Erniu glanced at his daughter beside him and then said, "My benefactor!"

"I know where the Han River Gang's latest branch is located."

"I'll take you there."

Zhong Yuan shook his head and said, "You just need to tell me the location of the Hanshui Gang branch, and I'll go find it myself."

"With you all with me, I may not be able to protect you all."

Zhang Erniu's eyes were red.

"good!"

"I will listen to my benefactor."

at this time.

The fire roared and crackled.

Zhong Yuan learned from Zhang Erniu that the Hanshui Gang's branch was located in the ancient town at the mouth of the Qingni River, a tributary of the Hanshui River.

This river mouth connects to the mountainous areas surrounding Xiangyang, and the game and medicinal herbs of the mountain people are transported out from here.

Merchant ships would also dock at the ancient town of Nahekou to take shelter from the wind, which was convenient for collecting protection fees from the mountain villages along the river, and also allowed them to connect to the Han River by waterway.

The gang members were a mixed bunch, and the area was backed by mountains, so they could go into the mountains to hide from trouble if something happened.

Zhong Yuan located the Han River Gang branch and instructed Zhang Erniu to take his daughter to Xiangyang City to wait for him.

The two agreed to meet again in three days at the inn where they first met.

Zhong Yuan cut off the head of Ma Wu from the Han River Gang, wrapped it in cloth, and carried it straight to the ancient town of Hekou.

In less than half an hour, Zhongyuan had arrived at the ancient town of Nahekou.

Zhong Yuan, carrying a severed head, caused a stir as soon as he entered the town.

He walked along the ancient street to an inn and hung the severed head on a pole outside the inn.

Then, with a calm expression, he walked into the inn.

Upon entering the store.

The shopkeeper approached Zhong Yuan shakily and asked, "Sir?"

"What would you like to eat?"

Xiao Hong was perched on Zhong Yuan's left shoulder. Xiao Hong's appearance was different from that of ordinary eagles.

In addition, when he entered the ancient town just now, he was carrying Ma Wu's head in one hand and holding the White Rainbow Sword in the other!

The murderous aura emanating from him was impossible to conceal.

Zhong Yuan glanced at the table beside him, then said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper."

"I'll lend you a table and a chair."

As they were talking, Zhong Yuan took out another ingot of silver and tossed it to the shopkeeper.

Ordinary people usually use copper coins to eat.

No one could be as extravagant as Zhong Yuan, who casually throws away small amounts of silver.

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and said, "Sir!"

Please, have a seat!

Zhong Yuan raised his hand and said, "Move that table and chair outside the door."

"Bring another pot of fine wine and two plates of snacks to go with it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately replied, "Alright!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Zhong Yuan turned around and left the store.

The shopkeeper had already instructed the waiter to bring out the table and chair.

Zhong Yuan sat on the stool with a broadsword and golden horse.

On the ancient street, passersby can see human heads hanging on the horse post outside the inn.

Even those sitting below, including Zhong Yuan, all had slight changes in expression and walked away quickly.

Zhong Yuan sat down outside the shop.

Before long, the food and drinks were served.

Zhong Yuan released the small green snake from the bag and took a sip of wine.

Seeing this, Xiao Hong, who was standing on Zhong Yuan's shoulder, jumped off and wanted to drink as well.

Zhong Yuan also gave Xiao Hong a couple of sips.

Little Red made a "coo coo coo" sound.

When the little green snake saw Little Red, it darted back into the bag.

Zhong Yuan drank wine while eating beef.

Over there, not far down the long street, someone was walking briskly, heading deeper into the old street.

After Zhong Yuan drank three bowls of wine.

On the long street, figures quickly gathered, all dressed in short blue cloth outfits, some carrying long knives and others carrying harpoons.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a long blue robe. He had narrow eyes with a cold glint in them. He walked to the long street outside the inn.

A river breeze suddenly arose.

The fishy wind blew in gusts.

The middle-aged man addressed Zhong Yuan, who was sitting at the entrance of the inn, and said loudly, "May I ask which hero you are, my friend?"

"They've come looking for trouble with my Hanshui Gang!"

Zhong Yuan finished the wine in the bowl in one gulp, looked up, and saw no emotion in his eyes.

He pointed to the human head hanging on the horse post and asked only one question.

"Ma Wu is one of your Hanshui Gang members, is that alright?"

The middle-aged man said with his hands behind his back, "Ma Wu is a member of my Hanshui Gang."

"What is your opinion, sir?"

Zhong Yuan grinned, revealing two rows of large white teeth.

"It's nothing."

"I just want to use the blood of you scum to wash away the filth of this world."

Wow!

The words had just been spoken.

The middle-aged man's expression immediately changed.

Zhong Yuan leaped up and flew out like a dragon emerging from the sea, sweeping his sword horizontally!
