Chapter 782 Rebels Outside Jinxia

"Brother..." Gongshu Jin suddenly whispered.

"Don't worry, I will solve all this." Gongshu Feng comforted him.

"No, brother... look over there..." The younger brother pointed to the other side of the official road - that side was far away from where they were, and with the obstruction of torches, it was difficult for ordinary people to see the scene in the dark. Even Gongshu Feng squinted his eyes and looked for a moment before he could see a few swaying figures and the long swords in their hands reflecting a faint red light...

Gongshu Feng was suddenly stunned.

He remembered that some selected people were sent to that direction before.

And the facts soon confirmed his thoughts.

Another team of people was taken outside the encirclement, and then they were pressed to kneel on the ground. The standing figures raised their swords and fell, and people fell one by one, as if disappearing in the night. The whole process was like a silent play. Although it happened behind the crowd, no one noticed this scene.

A chill that penetrated deep into his bones jumped up from the soles of his feet.

The words "solve it on the spot" from the sharp-mouthed man appeared in his ears again.

He finally understood what this solution meant.

The women and children who were taken out were not without the strength to scream - the reason why they were slaughtered silently was because the magic blocked the noise they made!

"What are you doing?" Gongshu Feng pulled Gongshu Jin in that direction in disbelief.

Although there were many servants around, the person in charge was not there, and with the previous words of the two men, they did not dare to kill them for a while, so they could only shout and chase after them, but they did not stop Gongshu Feng.

He came to the earth slope beside the official road, and the smell of blood suddenly became much stronger.

I saw that there were many corpses lying in the grass under the slope, most of which were old Confucian scholars and children under ten years old. Obviously, as slaves, these two types of people can hardly be sold at any price, and Tuntianzhuang also knew that what they did was unacceptable and would be a serious crime anywhere, so they did not intend to leave any alive!

"Stop here." At this time, a man stopped in front of the two brothers.

There was a sense of command in his words, as if he was born superior to others. With the mechanical ring on his hand, he was most likely a Taoist priest who performed the art of silence.

"Are you a member of the Privy Council?" Gongshu Feng asked loudly, "Why do you help them do such a vicious thing?"

The other party raised his eyebrows in surprise, but did not reply immediately.

"Even if they are refugees, they are also citizens of Qi. As long as they do not sign a contract to sell themselves, any slavery is against the law, let alone wanton slaughter!" He clenched his fists, "They-they are also human beings!"

"The law of the king?" The Taoist priest stared at him, and after a long while, he showed a hint of amusement, "The law of the king has been gone for a long time."

What is he talking about...

Gongshu Feng almost doubted his ears.

Isn't this place still under the control of the Privy Council?

If the Privy Council is not considered the law of the king, who else can be considered?

"Are you two the secret agents of the Privy Council who are responsible for important tasks?" A dry voice suddenly sounded from behind. Gongshu Feng looked back and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a luxurious brocade robe and cowhide boots. It was obvious that he had a rich family. The sharp-mouthed man was also with him, but his face was completely free of the arrogance he had before.

There was no doubt that he was the housekeeper he was talking about.

"Yes." Gongshu Feng could only suppress the thoughts that were surging in his heart and shift his attention back to dealing with this person.

"So it was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. We are all family." The housekeeper grinned, "I wonder which mansion you two are from, and which rank of masters are you?"

"This... I have nothing to say."

In theory, the two brothers are not even of the eighth rank, because as disciples of the Gongshu family, they do not need to take the examination to seek high positions and generous salaries. Moreover, their ability to sense qi is all used in mechanical arts, and they are not good at fighting.

"Can't you tell me where you're going?"

"No."

"Do you have a contact who can prove your identity?"

"This is a top-secret mission. It cannot be disclosed to a third person except us two." Gongshu Feng refused.

"I understand." The housekeeper sighed, his voice suddenly cold, "So, even if you die here, no one will know that we did it?"

"You——" Gongshu Feng's face changed drastically.

"To be honest, I was going to let you go if you two hadn't seen these things." The housekeeper glanced at the corpses at the bottom of the hillside, "You guys... can't you just pretend that nothing happened?"

"Do you know what you're doing!?" Gongshu Feng said in astonishment.

"Let me tell you another little secret." The housekeeper smiled meaninglessly, "Do you know who made the most money from buying and selling these people?" He paused for a moment and lowered his voice, "It's Lord Wu Bairen."

The Privy Council... is not completely unaware?

Before Gongshu Feng had time to digest the news, he felt a sudden pain in his back!

A long spear had already been thrust out from behind and pierced into his body.

He fell forward with his brother in his arms, and at the same time saw more servants approaching with swords and weapons. He was not without means of survival, but in order to prove his identity and prevent Jinxia's people from finding out, he left all his hidden weapons in Shangyuan City. Even if he had the ability to sense qi, a body alone could not defeat dozens of well-equipped family soldiers.

The second shot stabbed directly at Gongshu Feng's neck——

"Bang!"

With a slight sound, the servant who stabbed him fell backwards, and a long string of blood spurted out from the center of his nose.

What happened?

Gongshu Feng felt that his strength was fading. He barely raised his head and found that the people around him seemed to be in chaos. They shouted loudly and waved their weapons to fight with the figures in the dark. The originally dead night suddenly boiled.

Did the refugees realize that their relatives were slaughtered and finally triggered the riot?

No, that's not right...

He realized that these figures jumping out of the night were not refugees!

Although they were dressed similarly to the refugees, wearing tattered clothes and holding simple weapons, their eyes were completely different - there was no numbness to life and death in their eyes, and no indifference to their own fate. Everyone's eyes were bright and their faces were filled with hatred and hostility that did not need to be described in words. Even if they were facing thugs in approval armor, they did not show fear, as if the pitchforks and hatchets in their hands could break the opponent's resistance!

One of the young women rushed to the front holding a flag. There was nothing on the flag, just a piece of dark red rag, but in her hand, it seemed to become a torch leading thousands of troops.

"It's the rebels!"

"Damn it, how could they appear here!"

Faintly, Gongshu Feng heard someone shouting in fear.

Rebels?

—— "I heard that Huiyang Prefecture is arresting rebels. Every ship heading south needs to be searched in detail to ensure that there are no problems before it can be released."

The words of the ship owner could not help but float in his ears.

He originally thought that the so-called rebels were spies or spies sent by Jinxia City.

So... not all the people who plotted rebellion came from Jinxia...

This was Gongshu Feng's last consciousness before he fainted.
