The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

The yamen runner who came to report the news did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Lord! Bandits were found in the granary, and currently Liu Bantou is fighting hard against them."

"Bandits!~"

Xie Tingwen was startled, and hurriedly said to the yamen runners behind him: "You also go and help, and be sure to protect the food and reduce the number of lives."

"Yes!" Everyone answered and followed the messenger to the granary.

The scene seemed a little chaotic for a moment, Zhu Gui immediately waved his hand and said soothingly: "Don't worry, everyone, the problem can be solved immediately."

After listening to Zhu Gui's words, the people felt inexplicably at ease and gathered in groups of three or four.

"Hey!~"

Xie Tingwen sighed and was about to walk towards the granary, but was blocked by Sun Cheng and Zhu Gui.

"Sir! No!"

"What are you doing?" Xie Tingwen asked coldly.

Zhu Gui was already guilty, so Sun Cheng stood in front of Zhu Gui, stroked his hand and repeatedly persuaded him: "Sir! It's too chaotic out front. If anything happens to you, we will explain it."

"If I don't go, there will be a fight. How many people do you want to die before you feel at ease?"

"This..." Sun Cheng was speechless for a moment, and his eyes turned to Uncle Qin behind Xie Tingwen.

They knew that Uncle Qin knew some martial arts and that he should have no problem dealing with the refugees, but no one could guarantee anything in this chaotic situation.

"Get out of the way." Xie Tingwen scolded coldly.

Seeing the situation like this, Sun Cheng no longer tried to keep him. He stepped aside and bowed to Uncle Qin. Everything was said without words.

Xie Tingwen immediately took Uncle Qin to the granary, praying secretly in his heart that Liu Bantou could hold on and not add to the killing.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

When Xie Tingwen arrived at the granary, the scene was in chaos. The bandits were fighting fiercely with the county government officials, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

Liu Bantou was covered in blood, but he still resisted stubbornly.

Xie Tingwen's heart sank when he saw this, and he immediately shouted, "Stop it."

The shouts of both sides drowned out Xie Tingwen's words. Fortunately, Zhu Gui was well prepared. He picked up the gong, stood beside Xie Tingwen, and struck it vigorously.

“Bang, bang, bang!~”

The sound of the gong reached the battlefield, and both sides immediately withdrew their attacks. Liu Bantou, covered in blood, looked in the direction of the gong sound and instantly caught sight of Xie Tingwen.

"My Lord!~"

Liu Bantou was startled and hurriedly said a few words to the yamen runner beside him, then hung the iron ruler around his waist and went forward.

"Sir! Why are you here? This place is too messy, it's not a place for you to come." Liu Bantou quickly stroked his hand.

"You're not hurt!"

Liu Bantou wiped the blood off his face with a smile and said in a deep voice: "I used to be an executioner. This is a small scene."

"It's good that it's not hurt."

Xie Tingwen nodded slightly, lifted his long gown and walked quickly forward, walked to the middle of the two groups, and glanced at the bandits.

With just one glance, Xie Tingwen's eyes were actually misty. He said that what he saw were not bandits, but a group of people who were short of food and clothing.

They may be farmers who have lost their land, or civilians who have lost their livelihoods and are forced to become bandits.

These are not their faults, so who should I blame? They don't want to live a peaceful life.

"I am the magistrate of Laigu County. Today, I..."

Before Xie Tingwen could finish his words, he heard a high-pitched voice from the crowd: "Officials are generally corrupt. The magistrate of Laigu County is obviously not a good person either. Kill him."

“Kill…”

Gao Kang's voices came one after another, and Xie Tingwen subconsciously took a step back. However, this small action was instantly caught by someone with interest.

Although Uncle Qin was on the periphery, he had been paying attention to the situation. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he thought to himself, "Not good."

Before Xie Tingwen could react, a sharp dagger pointed directly at Xie Tingwen's heart. Faced with the sudden change, everyone was unable to react in time.

"Sir, be careful." Sun Cheng shouted loudly, but unfortunately his voice was still covered by the bandits.

Uncle Qin took a step forward and went straight towards Xie Tingwen.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Xie Tingwen's chest, Uncle Qin happened to grab the dagger with his hand. As the new red blood dripped from his palm, the yamen runner came back to his senses in an instant.

"Kill!" Liu Bantou raised the iron ruler high and shouted loudly.

In an instant, the two sides were fighting again. Although there were only more than 20 yamen runners, they were still able to handle this group of untrained bandits with ease.

In the early stage, they killed people only when they had no choice but to do so under the order of Xie Tingwen, and they only killed seven or eight people as a deterrent.

Now that Xie Tingwen was nearly assassinated, these yamen runners had no scruples and attacked him to death, beating the bandits until blood splattered everywhere. Zhu Gui was trembling with fear when he saw this.

He was a businessman and had never seen such a bloody scene before, but Sun Cheng was the head of the Ministry of Justice and was not surprised by it. However, his eyes were full of regret.

Half an incense stick later, only a dozen of the fifty or sixty bandits were left, and the yamen runners immediately rushed forward and surrounded them.

"Liu Tou! What do you mean?"

"Kill him, or put him in jail?"

"Big jail!"

Liu Bantou sneered, looked at the remaining dozen bandits and said in a deep voice: "Is there still a prison in Gu County? If you dare to assassinate an official of the imperial court, you will bring disaster to your entire clan and kill them."

At Liu Bantou's command, the yamen runners rushed forward and immediately launched a one-sided massacre. The bandits were slaughtered in just a few breaths.

As Liu Bantou's iron bar fell, just as the last bandit was about to die, a cold knife suddenly came and blocked Liu Bantou's iron bar.

"Bang!~"

Liu Bantou was shocked by a loud noise and his hands became numb instantly. Looking at the shining blade in front of him, he felt something was wrong.

"Protect your lord."

A group of yamen runners immediately protected Xie Tingwen. Even Sun Cheng and Zhu Gui looked around in amazement, trying to prevent any unexpected changes.

“Cough cough cough!~”

Xie Tingwen coughed softly and slowly woke up. After glancing at everyone, he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"Master! It seems there is a master here." Uncle Qin frowned and looked around secretly.

"Master?"

Xie Tingwen was shocked. The master who could be praised by Uncle Qin was obviously very powerful. He immediately looked towards the cold blade in the distance towards everyone.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen looked at Ba Dao in the distance suspiciously, and after a moment he understood everything. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "He is one of us, don't worry."

Seeing Xie Tingwen waking up, he suddenly heard the sound of a knife, and the cold blade that was inserted into the soil instantly flew into the air.

Such a method made the usually calm Uncle Qin sigh: "Flying through the air and controlling a weapon is something that is rarely seen in my life."
