Then he stretched his head out tremblingly and glanced at the roof outside the yard.
This sight almost frightened him to death.
"Beat, beat, beat the night watchman!"
The Axe Gang leader sat down on the ground.
At this moment he had only one thought in his mind.
It's over, completely over.
If you do not do evil things during the day, you will not be afraid of the night watchman.
The lethality of this sentence is very strong throughout Dafeng.
Even he, the leader of a small, low-level gang, knew it.
But he was still puzzled in his heart, why would the night watchmen come after a small figure like him?
After recognizing the night watchman's identity, this confrontation no longer had any suspense.
In the entire Axe Gang, 90% of the gang members are ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation.
Only the leader of the Axe Gang barely possesses the strength of an eighth-grade Qi Refining Realm warrior.
On the other hand, even the weakest Tongluo among the night watchmen were masters in the Qi Refining Realm.
Therefore, the Axe Gang leader surrendered without any resistance.
He now only hoped that the night watchmen from the yamen were not looking for him specifically.
Sadly, this will definitely not go as he wishes.
Half an hour later.
"Sir, all 732 members of the Axe Gang, except for a few high-ranking members, have been killed!"
The night watchman does things in a decisive and efficient manner.
Killing scum never shows mercy..
Chapter 122: Quick Decision
Lu Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about killing so many people at once.
He'll hate not killing enough.
Last night, he had learned from other members of the Axe Gang that all their gang members had participated in the persecution of those children.
In other words, persecuting those children is like joining the Axe Gang.
After all, the Axe Gang's business is shady, so there can't be anyone with a conscience in the gang.
This also saved Lu Xiao a lot of trouble.
As long as they are from the Axe Gang, I can kill them with my eyes closed.
I will never kill the wrong one.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Yang Yan looked at Lu Xiao.
"What do you plan to do next? Although we've confirmed that the Axe Gang is the spy organization planted in the capital by the human trafficking organization you mentioned, you also heard their conversation just now. It seems that they don't know the true identity of the person behind the scenes. Are you sure your information is correct?"
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Of course it's not wrong."
"So what should we do next?" Yang Yan asked.
At this moment, another gong sounded.
"Sir, we found a group of children and women in the backyard, hundreds of them."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiao and Yang Yan's eyes changed at the same time.
The thirty children who died were already a tragic sight, and now there are hundreds more. What a horrific scene that would be.
Of course, they both knew clearly that the number of children the Axe Gang had killed over the years was definitely far more than this.
At this time, the bronze gong took a breath and continued, "But they are all fine. It seems that they were sent to Kyoto recently, and those beasts haven't had time to attack them yet."
Yang Yan glared at the bronze gong fiercely and said, "Next time, remember to get to the point first."
Finally there is some good news, which is a blessing in disguise.
Lu Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "Well, the solution has presented itself to me."
Yang Yan reacted quickly: "You mean those children and women?"
Lu Xiao nodded. "Indeed, from what I understand, the human trafficking organization controlled by Earl Pingyuan is enormous. They have teams dedicated to kidnapping people from all over the country, and others specialize in transporting them. The Axe Gang is responsible for receiving people in the capital. Once people arrive at the Axe Gang's location, Earl Pingyuan will definitely send someone to check on them. He'll only take away children who meet the requirements and attractive women. The Axe Gang will deal with the rest themselves. That's why there are disabled children."
Yang Yan asked, "So you want to sit back and wait?"
Lu Xiao said, "Well, this is the best and most labor-saving method. But the only thing we have to worry about now is whether Pingyuan Bo will know about our attack on the Axe Gang. If he finds out in advance, it will be very difficult to deal with."
Yang Yan immediately said, "Don't worry about that. I've already made all the arrangements before you came. No information here will be leaked. Don't underestimate my ability as a night watchman."
"That's good." Lu Xiao said.
That way, nothing will go wrong.
But then Yang Yan continued, "Instead of worrying about whether the news here will leak out, you should worry about whether Pingyuan Bo is free recently."
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiao asked.
Yang Yan said, "It's all your fault. Last night, you damaged the Imperial College's reputation. At the court this morning, a group of officials, led by the Imperial College, jointly impeached Pingyuan Bo for his poor parenting. Pingyuan Bo is really worried right now, busy dealing with the Imperial College officials. I'm afraid these children and women don't hold that much importance in his mind. If he's too busy to attend to them, we might still end up with nothing. After all, we can't just wait here forever."
As expected, the Imperial College lost to Yunlu Academy. Not daring to directly challenge the academy, they ultimately took their anger out on the eldest son of the Earl of Pingyuan, who had used provocation the previous night.
In the end, he ended up losing more than he gained.
But after hearing this reason, Lu Xiao's face still showed no worry.
"Don't worry, these children and women are more important to Pingyuan Bo than you can imagine. Not to mention that he is being harassed by the officials in the court because of his son, even if his father had just died, he would definitely come."
After all, the one who really needed these children was not Pingyuan Bo, but Emperor Yuan Jing.
Delaying the delivery is equivalent to delaying Emperor Yuan Jing's immortality.
Pingyuan Bo cannot bear the blame for this.
Yang Yan really wanted to ask Lu Xiao why he was so sure.
But Lu Xiao didn't give him a chance at all.
"Alright, although I know that Marquis Pingyuan will definitely send someone, I don't know the exact time. I guess those scumbags should be able to give us the answer."
As he spoke, Lu Xiao fixed his gaze on several Axe Gang leaders kneeling in the corner of the yard.
Yang Yan raised his hand and patted Lu Xiao's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm an expert at this. Although my skills aren't as good as that annoying Nangong Qianrou, they're definitely top-notch in the entire night watchman's office. I'll definitely treat these scumbags well."
Nangong Qianrou is another adopted son of Wei Yuan.
It is also one of the ten golden gongs.
However, this person has a unique personality and likes to torture prisoners with unique instruments. It is said that his methods are very cruel.
The technology Yang Yan mentioned was naturally referring to this.
Lu Xiao nodded: "Then I feel relieved."
Professional matters should be left to professionals, although he also learned the art of torture and forced confession from his own self in the Joy of Life world.
But he still didn't think that he could be comparable to a professional like Yang Yan, having never practiced in practice.
As a result, the Axe Gang's top leaders were quickly taken away by Yang Yan.
Time passed quickly, and it was evening.
As night fell, Yang Yan walked back, stretching his body and looking satisfied.
"We've already found out. We're lucky. They've set the handover time for tomorrow morning."
tomorrow?
Luck indeed can.
Just like that, the night watchmen and Lu Xiao stayed at the Axe Gang tonight.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, a few rhythmic, crisp sounds were heard from the Axe Gang's gate.
Through the crack in the door, one could clearly see a figure covered entirely by a cloak standing outside.
The moment the door opens.
The only pair of eyes that were exposed suddenly widened several times.
It was like seeing something extremely terrifying.
Of course, it's undeniable that a group of heavily armed night watchmen suddenly appeared where they shouldn't have been, and that was terrifying.
The man's first reaction was to run away.
Unfortunately, at this moment, two hands passed through the group of night watchmen and firmly grasped his shoulders.
next moment.
“Ah~”
He couldn't help but fly into the yard.
哐!
The door closed smoothly and sounded pleasant, without disturbing any neighbors.
Half an hour later, Lu Xiao and Yang Yan finally led a group of night watchmen out of the Axe Gang.
At this moment, Yang Yan was still wiping the blood from his hands.
After the cleaning was completed, the group immediately mounted their horses and headed towards the inner city. The direction they were heading was right at the Pingyuan Marquis's residence.
Chapter 123 The Tough Earl of Pingyuan
Pingyuan Earl's Mansion.
"You rebellious son, you're always doing nothing and causing trouble for me. Now I've been harassed by those shameless idiots in the Imperial College. If I don't beat you to death today, you'll be my father from now on."
Pah~ Pah~ Pah~
At this moment, the eldest son of the Pingyuan Earl was being hung in the courtyard, being whipped continuously by his father.
The sound of angry curses and whips echoed continuously in the yard, accompanied by the screams of Pingyuan Bo's eldest son, which was extremely soothing to listen to.
Yesterday, after returning home from court in a rage, Pingyuan Bo had only intended to give his son a good scolding.
But who knew that his son was not at home.
There was no place to vent the anger, and it finally grew bigger and bigger.
It wasn't until this morning when I learned that my son had just returned from the Jiaofangsi that I completely exploded.
This is simply outrageous. I was impeached by all the officials because of you, and yet you're living a life of luxury and debauchery.
What's the point of having a son like this?
"833" is the reason for this scene.
Unfortunately, the eldest son of the Pingyuan Earl had been spoiled since childhood and had never experienced such torture. After only a few dozen lashes, he passed out.
Seeing this, Pingyuan Bo finally stopped.
He threw the whip away casually.
"Come here, keep a close eye on this rebellious son. No one is allowed to let him down today. If he doesn't learn his lesson, sooner or later he will bring disaster to our family."
After giving his instructions, Pingyuan Bo came to the inner hall and called the housekeeper.
"Have the Axe Gang sent anyone there?"
The butler immediately replied, "Master, he's been gone for over half an hour. Judging by the time, he should be on his way back."
Pingyuan Bo nodded and said, "That's good. Also, have someone pass on a message to the people in charge. There have been a lot of quality defects with our products lately, and customers are very dissatisfied. If you continue to be so perfunctory with your products in the future, don't blame me for being ungrateful."
The customers he mentioned were not just Emperor Yuan Jing.
Although the human trafficking organization under the control of Pingyuan Bo, the biggest purpose is to serve Emperor Yuan Jing.
