The prince is very cruel

"be careful."

"Okay." With that, Guan Ning gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The two began to act separately. Guan Ning searched the entire government office and finally found a room in the backyard of the government office where the head of the village was suspected to be staying.

The entire town is made up of tiled and wooden houses, and only this place is decorated in a rather grand style. There are servants waiting here day and night, and they live in the government office, so there is no one else here except the town chief.

Guan Ning knocked the guard unconscious and climbed in through the window.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the room was a bit messy. There were three people sleeping behind the bed curtains, one man and two women.

The man was about fifty years old, fat and greasy, like a pig, while the two women were in their twenties and good-looking.

Guan Ning pouted inwardly when he saw it for the first time.

Then he coughed a few times, but the three people on the bed seemed too tired and did not respond. Guan Ning could only move closer, raise his hand, and slap them.

Snapped!

The man sleeping on the bed woke up instantly from the pain, and the two young women beside him also woke up. However, Guan Ning immediately knocked the two women down with a knife to avoid a big quarrel and attracting more people.

The man looked closely and saw a person standing in front of his bed in the darkness. He screamed in fear: "Ah!"

"Well……"

At the critical moment, Guan Ning covered his mouth, and the sound only existed for a moment and could not be heard out.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ning lifted the person out of the bed.

The man looked terrified and struggled, but to no avail.

"Shh!"

"If you don't want to die, don't shout." Guan Ning had his face covered at the moment, and his tone was like that of a bandit.

The man nodded frantically, fearing that Guan Ning would kill him.

"Now I'll ask a question and you answer it. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Please don't kill me, please!" the man begged.

Guan Ning looked down on him. He was just a village head, but he had such little courage. No wonder he helped Zhao Tai to do evil and bully the people.

"Zhao's army, are we going to return to the city?"

The head of the village nodded: "Yes, yes!"

"How long?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"It's the day after tomorrow. I just received news a few hours ago that Governor Zhao has won a victory and the bandits in Hengyang Mountain have been wiped out. The day after tomorrow, we will return to Guangling City via the Baima Official Road. By then, all the food and able-bodied men must be handed over!"

Without waiting for Guan Ning to ask, the chief explained everything directly.

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Very good."

"I came here today not to kill anyone, but to borrow some money to spend."

The village chief was sweating profusely, just trying to save his life: "You, how much do you want? I'll get it for you!"

Guan Ning shook his head and said deliberately: "We three brothers don't ask for much. We will take the money from your silver warehouse."

"what!"

The village head's face turned pale instantly: "No, no, that's the military funds that need to be handed over to the Governor..."

Just as he was about to yell, Guan Ning struck him with a much harder blow than before. Bang, the village chief collapsed to the ground in an instant. He probably wouldn't wake up before dawn.

Then, Guan Ning disappeared.

He has already obtained the information he wanted. Even if the chief here reports it, it will take an unknown amount of time for Zhao Tai to receive the news, which is enough time for him to take action.

As for deliberately saying that the three brothers pretended to be bandits, it was also to confuse the public and avoid causing trouble for the people.

Tomorrow morning, when the people wake up and see the extra money at home, they will definitely not complain about it. In this way, the plan will be perfect.

A moment later, Lou Xinyue also succeeded. The two of them reunited and carried away a small bag of change.

It’s not much, probably just a few hundred taels, but it’s a considerable amount to be distributed to the people in the town. Besides, this money was originally the people’s hard-earned money that was forcibly taken away from them.

So Guan Ning just worked as a porter.

He wrapped up all the change in rags and threw it into the yard from house to house. Then he left and continued to sleep as if nothing had happened.

The next day, the sun rose.

The town was shaken, and the news of the yamen being robbed spread like wildfire. The few dozen officials began a manhunt, causing a huge uproar.
