Village chief Zheng Fugui, along with Baldy and five members of the Iron Rod Gang, swaggered back to Xiahe Village.

When the villagers of Xiahe Village saw these people, they all gathered at Zheng Fugui's house.

In Zheng Fugui's home, two middle-aged men with injured arms were holding Zheng Fugui's wife and child hostage with sharp knives.

Seeing his wife and children in danger, Zheng Fugui hurriedly said, "Fellow villagers, don't be impulsive, the Iron Rod Gang is here."

A middle-aged man asked, "Are the Iron Rod Gang here to help us fight the bandits?"

The bald gang leader said, "Yes, I'm here to help you deal with the bandits. Release the man first."

This person lies without even thinking.

The two middle-aged men weren't so easily fooled. One of them said, "Once the bandit problem is solved, it's not too late to release these two."

The bald gang leader stepped forward and shouted, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to release them!"

Some people become bolder after seeing blood.

These two middle-aged men are that kind of people.

The middle-aged man who was holding Zheng Fugui's wife hostage lightly made a cut on her chin with his knife.

Fresh blood flowed out immediately.

Zheng Fugui's wife screamed in terror, "Ahhh, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Zheng Fugui quickly stopped the bald gang leader who was walking forward, and then said to the two men, "Brothers, calm down. We're all from the same village, there's no need for this."

The middle-aged man who was holding Zheng Fugui's son hostage said, "What the hell is it? It's not that serious."

The Lin family ran away with their children. Do you also want to run away with your children?

Finally, they let our children feed the snakes.

"Are your children children, but our children aren't?"

Another middle-aged man chimed in, "That's right, iron rods won't solve the problem of bandits."

You, Zheng Fugui, must give your child to the bandits.

Villagers nearby chimed in, "That's right, our Xiahe Village has paid protection money twice."

The Iron Rod Gang must protect us.

The bald-headed leader was puzzled. Why had these villagers suddenly become so tough today?

One of the Iron Rod Gang members cursed, "Protect you, you son of a bitch!"

Why should our Iron Rod Gang go up against the bandits of the Heavenly Serpent Gang for the sake of you peasants?

You all know perfectly well whether the protection money we collect is effective or not, so why pretend you don't?

This person has torn away the fig leaf of protection fees.

The so-called protection fee is actually just a mild form of robbery and does not serve any protective purpose at all.

How could the people of Xiahe Village not understand this principle?

They were powerless against the bandits, so they fantasized that the Iron Rod Gang would come to their aid.

The two middle-aged men who were holding Zheng Fugui's family hostage immediately became agitated upon hearing this.

They pulled Zheng Fugui's wife and children back a little.

Zheng Fugui's wife was so frightened that she started to cry.

"Waaaah, Fugui, please save my mother and me, I don't want to die."

Zheng Fugui's child, Zheng Xiaobao, also burst into tears.

"Father, give them some money and ask them to release me."

Zheng Fugui was at a loss for what to do as his wife and children cried.

"Yes, yes, I'll give you money. Release my wife and children, and I'll give you money."

The middle-aged man who was holding Zheng Fugui's wife hostage said with red eyes, "How much silver can you come up with?"

How much silver should we give the bandits to stop them from forcing our village to send boys and girls as tribute?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fugui was disheartened. He had given all his money to the Iron Rod Gang members, so he had no money left.

Moreover, the little silver he gave to the bandits would be a waste, as they would still demand boys and girls from their village.

The middle-aged man who was holding Zheng Fugui's child hostage said, "Since the Iron Rod Gang is unwilling to help us solve the problem..."

Then why did you, Zheng Fugui, bring the Iron Rod Gang members back?

Another person questioned, "Did you hire these Iron Rod Gang members to deal with us?"

The bald-headed gang leader was getting impatient; he wanted to take his brothers back for drinks and meat as soon as possible.

He stepped forward, pointed at the two men, and said, "I'm here to deal with you. Put down your knives and kneel down to beg for mercy."

After finishing his sentence, the bald-headed gang leader gave his accomplice a wink.

Two members of the Iron Rod Gang rushed towards the two middle-aged men who were holding Zheng Fugui's family hostage.

The two middle-aged men looked flustered and hurriedly backed away.

"Don't come here!"

“If I go any further, I’ll kill someone.”

The two Iron Rod Gang members didn't believe they would dare to kill anyone and rushed over to seize the knife.

The middle-aged man who was holding Zheng Fugui's wife hostage had his wrists caught.

This man was originally an honest and simple villager.

The kidnapping of Zheng Fugui's family was simply to protect their child.

He is now somewhat desperate.

With the Iron Rod Gang backing him up, Zheng Fugui's children definitely wouldn't participate in the lottery.

He thought of the scene where Lin Feng single-handedly saved his family with a knife, and his blood boiled.

He forcefully slashed the sharp knife in his hand across the neck of his wealthy wife.

"Fuck you!"

*Thud*, a large gash appeared on Zheng Fugui's wife's neck.

Scalding hot blood splattered onto the face of the Iron Rod Gang member who charged at him.

When the middle-aged man drew his knife, he also cut the palm of one of the Iron Rod Gang members.

Zheng Fugui's wife fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and then lay still, her blood staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

The Iron Rod Gang members were momentarily stunned by the sight of their faces being washed with hot blood.

When did the villagers of Xiahe Village become so assertive?

The middle-aged man's eyes turned even redder when he saw blood.

This person still holds the ingrained belief that murderers should pay with their lives.

He figured he was going to die anyway, so he might as well kill a few more.

Killing one is enough to break even; killing two makes you a profit.

Before the Iron Rod Gang members nearby could react...

The man then stabbed the Iron Rod Gang member in the chest with a single blow.

With a splatter, blood immediately spurted from the mouth and nose of the Iron Rod Gang member.

The middle-aged man persisted, repeatedly wielding his knife.

With a soft thud, he pulled the knife out and then stabbed it back in.

"Serves you right for bullying people and collecting protection money."

puff.

"I've had enough of being bullied by you, so today I'm going to fight back."

puff.

"Either way, we're going to die. Who has more lives than whom?"

This happened when this person struck Zheng Fugui's wife.

The middle-aged man who had taken Zheng Fugui's son hostage also made his move at the same time.

With a splatter, Zheng Fugui's son's neck was slashed open, and blood gushed out.

The middle-aged man also went berserk, stabbing the Iron Rod Gang members who were charging at him with his knife.

The members of the Iron Rod Gang reacted quickly, swinging their iron rods to smash the incoming sharp knife.

Then, the middle-aged man's dagger was smashed down.

Before the Iron Rod Gang could continue attacking the middle-aged man...

A villager behind the Iron Rod Gang member smashed a stick into his head.

The man from the Iron Rod Gang rolled his eyes and fainted.

The middle-aged man picked up a sharp knife and stabbed it into the neck of the fallen Iron Rod Gang member.

*Pfft*, a spurt of hot blood shot out high.

When Zheng Fugui saw that his wife and children had been killed, he jumped up and down and cried, tears streaming down his fat face.

He lost both his parents at a young age, and only had his wife and children at home.

Zheng Fugui cried out, "Fellow villagers, why has it come to this! Why has it come to this!"

As he cried out, he quietly pulled a dagger from under his arm.
