Chapter 337
Shen Qing owns a garment shop. Half of the materials for making clothes come from Nuanyu City in the south of Da Chu. They purchase goods once every season. However, since the beginning of this year, they have been robbed by bandits twice.
The first time, Lingyi did not intend to care about it. After all, Nuanyu City is 300 miles away from Shengjing, and it is inevitable that there will be some accidents in the middle. Fortunately, everyone returned safely, so it's okay.
Ever since she burned down the Shitian Gate and bloodbathed her enemies, Lingyi has promised that she would not kill unless she had to, and would not get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
But those bandits were determined to jump on Lingyi's bottom line. They obviously changed a route to return to Beijing the second time they purchased goods, but they were still robbed by those bandits. Not only did they rob all the goods, but they also killed two innocent servants and injured Chongyang.
This time, Lingyi could not bear it no matter what.
After handing the responsibility of managing the shop to Chong Ling, Ling Yi led Chong Ming, Chong Hui and eight guards to Nuan Yu City that day.
Since those bandits were courting death in various ways, Ling Yi would naturally not give them a chance to live.
With the help of the surviving servant, Ling Yi and his party easily found the whereabouts of the bandits.
These bandits were well-known bandits in the area of Nuan Yu City. They had been doing bloody business for more than ten years. In addition to robbing passing merchants, they would also force decent women into the village. The nearby villages had long been emptied by them.
Not only that, among the more than a hundred people in the village, each of them had at least ten lives on his hands. The notoriety of the murder had long spread to dozens of miles around, and even the government was unwilling to intervene.
Ling Yi did not hesitate at all, and led a small number of people to the village.
Grabbing a big knife from the sentry, Ling Yi turned into a killing god and headed straight for the hinterland of the mountain stronghold alone. Her movements were all real and clear, without any tricks.
Professional killers always kill with one strike.
The guards who thought they would die on this trip were dazzled. Could their usually gentle and beautiful Ling Yi be so strong?
This is a bandit nest!
Chongming and Chonghui did not comment on this, because they had seen crazier things. When Ling Yi killed her enemies, she killed people without blinking an eye. That was a killer organization with a great reputation in the world, but all of them died in Ling Yi's hands. For Ling Yi, who was really "notorious", these bandits were just casual attacks.
In just half an hour, the bandit nest that had been rampant for more than ten years became a sea of blood.
Now, there was only one person left.
In the central room of the village, the boss looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a look of surprise on his face, "You are... a deadly beauty?"
Lingyi looked at him with some surprise. He could recognize her former identity. This so-called boss must have come from the underworld.
As expected, his next sentence directly confirmed Lingyi's guess.
"You destroyed the Shadow Pavilion, right?" The boss stared at Lingyi's eyes, afraid to miss a change in her expression.
Unexpectedly, Lingyi admitted it without thinking, "Yes, it was me."
As for the identity of the boss, Lingyi also knew it in her heart - the fish that escaped the Shadow Pavilion.
"It was my negligence to let you escape at the beginning. Today, I will send you to reunite with those useless people in the Shadow Pavilion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his wrist, held the long knife and pointed it directly at the boss's face.
The boss knew that he was not Lingyi's opponent, but at this point, he had no chance of escaping and could only fight to the death.
"Today, I will avenge the seniors of the Shadow Pavilion!"
The big boss was aggressive, but in less than ten moves, he was kicked to the ground by Ling Yi. Without giving him a chance to say a second word, the long knife in Ling Yi's hand directly pierced his neck.
After killing the last enemy, Ling Yi let go and let the long knife in her hand nail the big boss to the ground.
When Chongming and Chonghui chased after him with eight guards, Ling Yi was sitting on a chair with a leisurely look on her face. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and the blood stained a large area of the ground red.
Seeing them coming, Ling Yi got up from the chair, left a sentence "search clean", and walked out of the house.
One of the guards looked at Chongming in shock, "Manager Ling Yi brought us here... Could it be that it was just to deal with the mess?"
Chongming raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said faintly: "What do you think? You don't think Sister Ling Yi brought you here to fight, right?"
Guard: "..."
Sorry, he thought too much.
After leaving the house of the eldest master, Ling Yi went to the bedroom next door. She just heard some noises here, so there must be someone there.
There was a big red wedding character on the bedroom door, which seemed to indicate that there was a wedding to be held, but before the wedding could be held, it became a funeral.
Pushing the door open, the room was also full of joy, with a bright red wedding blanket and a big red wedding quilt. There was also a man with a red veil tied to the bed, and he kept moaning. The sound Ling Yi heard just now came from his mouth.
Pulling off the red veil on his head, a young and delicate face came into Ling Yi's eyes.
The boy looked at her with red eyes, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes. His pale and delicate face was very pitiful.
Raising his hand to pull out the cloth ball from his mouth, the boy said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Sister, are you here to...save me?"
Ling Yi ignored him and untied the rope on his body.
After regaining his freedom, the young man frowned and stretched his body, and then he heard Ling Yi's clear voice: "They caught you to be the wife of the leader?"
The young man nodded a little embarrassedly, but his eyes became brighter.
If Ling Yi hadn't saved him, he would have really become the wife of the leader. When he thought that his clean body was almost defiled by an old man in his thirties, the young man's face, which had just recovered a little redness, turned pale again.
"My name is Mo Wuchen, thank you sister for saving me."
Ling Yi was not interested in Mo Wuchen's name, but stretched out her white palm to him.
Mo Wuchen was puzzled: "...What?"
Ling Yi reminded him: "Ransom, I never do business at a loss."
Ling Yi could see that Mo Wuchen's clothes were the best Shu brocade. He must have been born rich or noble. He had saved someone, so he naturally had to ask for some benefits.
Of course, if the silver on Mo Wuchen had been searched away by the boss, it would not be impossible for him to take it back after returning home and then send it to her.
Knowing that Lingyi wanted silver, Mo Wuchen immediately asked in a low voice: "Sister, how much do you want?"
Looking at the boy's well-behaved and bullied appearance, Lingyi felt that her mood was much better, "Since you look pretty good, I'll give you one thousand taels."
Mo Wuchen lowered his head and took out two silver bills from his boots, wiped them carefully with his sleeves, and then said awkwardly: "The silver bills in my arms were all searched away by them. I hid them secretly. Sister, don't despise me."
Lingyi took it and found that there were actually two thousand taels. She returned him half of it morally and said cheerfully: "Okay, now we are even."
After that, Lingyi turned and went out.
Seeing that the life-saving straw was gone, Mo Wuchen, who had a shadow on the boss, hurriedly chased after him.
Mo Wuchen knew very well that he was now in a den of thieves and only Lingyi could protect him.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw blood everywhere, corpses lying everywhere, and blood everywhere. Mo Wuchen was so scared that he lost his balance and fell towards Ling Yi.
