Wang Baben's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the brothers. After a moment, he laughed and said, "Let's still be good brothers in the next life!"

Then he bumped fists with them one by one: "Good brothers, we live and die together!"

"With the total death!"

Then, several people sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly waiting for the people outside to attack.

Everyone felt a little happy when they thought that before they died, they could still throw the kitchen knife at them and take a few of them with them as their scapegoats.

They have been bandits for many years, but have never felt as happy as they do today.

For the sake of the people of Beixiao, why should I fear death?

Seeing that no more hidden weapons were fired, the guards in the courtyard became bolder and walked quickly towards the house where Wang Baben and others were hiding.

Wang Baben and others heard the sound and squatted quietly behind the door.

The moment the Dongcui guards opened the door, Wang Baben and others gritted their teeth and chopped their ankles with the kitchen knives in their hands.

"Ah!" Two screams were heard, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

They never imagined that Bei Xiao's spies were so insidious and specialized in cutting people's ankles!

A large number of guards rushed into the house from outside, and Wang Baben, Niu Ma and others swung the kitchen knives in their hands very quickly.

Their reckless fighting style prevented the guards from moving forward for a while.

Even if they hate a few people in their hearts, they cannot kill them!

But they soon came up with an idea. The emperor only said to capture them alive, but did not say that they should not be hurt.

Besides, these stinky rats have already killed many of their colleagues with that extremely powerful weapon.

So what if I get hurt?

When they catch these stinking rats alive and interrogate them, that will be their good day!

"Shoot their hands and feet with arrows and capture them alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards drew arrows from behind and aimed at Wang Baben's hands and feet.

Wang Baben reacts very quickly and will not let Dongcui’s people succeed!

He lived until now just to take a few more people with him.

Several people simultaneously chopped at their necks with the kitchen knives in their hands.

The Dongcui guards saw the intention of Wang Baben and others, and hurriedly aimed their bows and arrows at them and shot rapidly.

Wang Baben groaned, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The kitchen knives in the hands of Niu Ma and others also fell to the ground.

Seeing that several people had lost their weapons and were injured, the Dongcui guards rushed forward and pinned them to the ground.

In order to prevent Wang Baben and others from seeking death like they did just now, their jaws were first removed.

Then he took out the arrow from his back and stabbed it several times in the palms and ankles of Wang Baben and others.

Wang Baben's head was pressed to the ground, but his eyes were glaring fiercely at the Dongcui guard in front of him.

Their whole bodies were convulsing in pain, but they didn't make a single sound.

However, the reactions of Wang Baben, Niu Ma and others made the Dongcui guards somewhat unhappy.

"You stinky rats, you just killed so many of us! Why are you silent now? Shout! Why aren't you shouting? Shout for me..."

A Dongcui guard said as he kicked Wang Baben hard in the stomach.

Wang Baben continued to stare at everyone and refused to say a word.

Being caught by these people was due to their own lack of consideration. They should consider themselves unlucky!

If only I had been quicker in my suicide...

Now, the scene they want to see of kneeling down and begging for mercy is simply a fantasy!

The Dongcui guard kicked Wang Baben in the stomach several times in a row until Wang Baben vomited a large mouthful of blood.

At this moment, these Dongcui guards wanted to skin Wang Baben and others alive, but they had no choice but to follow the emperor's orders and could only drag them out roughly.

Niu Ma's condition was also terrible. Several of his teeth were kicked out by the Dongcui waiter, and his left eye was swollen. He usually made a lot of noise when he got hurt, but now he didn't make a sound even when he fainted from the pain.

The people living nearby no longer heard the loud noises or the sounds of fighting and killing, so they bravely opened their doors a crack and looked out quietly.

It was a small matter to see that people from the imperial court were dragging several people covered in blood and not knowing whether they were alive or dead out of the courtyard.

The guard walking in front shouted as he walked: "We have caught some Beixiao spies, but there are still a few that have not been caught. If any of you see any Beixiao spies escaping, please come to the government office and report it immediately!"

The people living nearby were originally a little scared, but now they heard that the manager of Zuijiangyue was actually a spy from Beixiao.

At once, they came out of their homes one after another, holding small stones picked up from the ground and throwing them at Wang Baben and others.

There were even a few children, around seven or eight years old, who took small wooden sticks as thick as fingers and hit several people on the head with all their might.

While smashing the objects, he shouted loudly: "Bad guys, bad guys! Kill you stinking bad guys!"

The wooden stick hit Wang Baben on the head, and he opened his eyes with difficulty to look at the little kids.

He had never harmed them and often distributed the leftover meat and vegetables in the restaurant to the people nearby.

To be honest, the taxes in Dongcui increased year by year, and every household was forced to send adult men to serve in the military for five years.

What's wrong with surrendering to Bei Xiao? Her Royal Highness the Princess will never and will not allow the court of Bei Xiao to mistreat the people!

Wang Baben's head drooped again. He never regretted doing things for the little princess and the court!

"This spy chief has a wife and a daughter! We saw them today! Why are they not here?" A man looked for a moment and then shouted at the top of his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baben suddenly looked up and stared at him with a creepy look.

Yueru and Suisui please don’t come back!

...

Zhao Yueru and Wang Suihuan walked out of the pastry shop. Zhao Yueru felt more and more uneasy.

She held Wang Suihuan's hand tightly and walked quickly towards Zui Jiangyue.

On the way, I heard people talking about how everyone in Zuijiangyue, from the manager to the waiters, were spies from Beixiao.

Zhao Yueru was shocked and hurriedly stopped the two aunts who were talking.

"Aunt, what are you talking about? Are all the shopkeepers and stewards of Zuijiangyue spies? Their food is so delicious, how could they be spies?"

One of the aunts looked Zhao Yueru up and down with some vigilance in her eyes.

"How is it impossible? Zui Jiang Yue has been raided... the shopkeeper and the employees there have been arrested... Bei Xiao's people came to Dong Cui with bad intentions!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yueru couldn't help but hold Wang Suihuan's hand tightly. Only in this way could she try not to lose her composure.

She forced a smile with difficulty: "Aunt is right, my husband and I have been to Zuijiangyue before. Seeing the boss's honest face, I didn't expect that he was a spy from Beixiao! Aunt, do you know when this happened?"

Upon hearing this, the aunt pointed in the direction of Zui Jiangyue and said, "As for what happened just now, many people were killed or injured in the attempt to catch them! If you walk faster, you might be able to catch up and take a look!"
