Chapter 6: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Jiang Chao pushed the corpse to the ground, and instantly came to the stunned Su Daquan's body, and the moment he covered Su Daquan's mouth, his hand rose and fell.
In the blink of an eye, Su Daquan was slashed in the neck, and his body fell down with convulsions.
Blood was spilled all over the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Chao shot fast enough, and the two did not scream.
Dragged the body to the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Chao washed the blood from the door of the room with water. He carried the firewood knife and walked towards Su Da's family.
This matter is estimated to have something to do with Su Daquan's woman.
Since the person was killed, Liu Chunhua can't let it go, otherwise, if it gets to Mao'er Mountain, it will be troublesome.
As soon as Jiang Chao left, a figure came out of the grass pile on the side, it was Liu Chunhua, she knew that her husband and the fourth master were going to kill people.
She didn't dare to see blood, so she hid far away. I didn't expect to escape.
When Jiang Chao pushed the corpse out of the door, by the light of the moon, she found out that something was wrong. Hurriedly hid.
As soon as Jiang Chao left, she ran to her husband's body, she clutched her husband's still warm body, tears filled her eyes.
At this time, she couldn't believe that it was Jiang Chao who killed people.
The guy who was a scumbag and a waste in the village on weekdays became so calm and decisive.
Kill two strong men, and the knife will be over with a knife.
She knew that Jiang Chao must have gone to kill her. Putting away her tears, she looked at her husband's corpse again, and there was a cruelty in her eyes.
"Be in charge, don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge it, I want Jiang Chao's blood debt to be repaid."
Gritting her teeth and spitting out a few words, she turned around and ran out of the village, if she didn't escape, her life would be gone!
Here, Jiang Chao arrived at Su Da's family. There are only two husbands and wives in their family. But I didn't see Liu Chunhua.
Jiang Chao's eyes showed a strange look, when Su Daquan and the four masters acted, Liu Chunhua must have come together.
When he returned home, Jiang Chao found that Su Daquan's body seemed to have been moved.
Jiang Chao was a little irritable in his heart, Liu Chunhua had become a fish that slipped through the net, and things were probably a little troublesome.
This woman will definitely go to Mao'er Mountain to deliver the news, and she will definitely come to take revenge.
He could just walk away, but what about Little Sister Su!?
Since he was going to take care of these sisters for the rest of his life, of course he couldn't leave them behind.
And, perhaps, the whole village will be implicated.
But no matter what, this matter can only be said tomorrow.
Early the next morning, while the two sisters had not yet gotten up, Jiang Chao went to the village chief's house.
There are some things that you still have to communicate with the village chief.
When he learned that Su Daquan colluded with bandits, the village chief was not surprised at all, this matter was not a secret in the village.
Su Daquan has always had close contacts with the bandits, and in addition to paying taxes to the government, the whole village also has to pay food to the bandits in Maoershan.
Su Daquan is the food minions that the bandits planted in the village.
Why is Su Daquan running rampant in the village?! In addition to his tall stature, but also because he has his back to bandits.
"Jiang Chao, I'm afraid this matter is troublesome! Hurry up and take your little sister to run for your life! The village chief sighed and patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder.
The four masters who killed the bandits, of course, they will not give up. Once the bandits retaliate, Jiang Chao and Su Xiaoxiao will definitely die.
The village chief was kind and wanted to persuade Jiang Chao to escape.
"Village Chief, it's not our escape now, do you remember what happened half a year ago?!" Jiang Chao frowned and said to the village chief.
Half a year ago, when the grain harvest was in the beginning of autumn, Jianghe Village, not far from the next door, was about to be unable to pay even the government's taxes because of the poor harvest.
When the bandits paid for the food, their village could not hand over the food, and many villagers were severely beaten by the bandits, and one of them resisted, only injuring one of the bandits.
The whole village of more than 100 people was slaughtered in one day. The surrounding villages were so frightened that no one dared to resist because of this.
This time, Jiang Chao killed the four masters, how could Maoershan stop, and the possibility of slaughtering the village was extremely high.
"Ah...... Then our village is about to suffer a catastrophe! This...... Alas......"
When the village chief heard this, he suddenly lost his master. Only then did he remember the ferocity of the bandits.
"Village chief, don't panic about this! You send a few people to help me send the greyhound and their corpses to the government first! Jiang Chao nodded to the village chief.
The bandits are afraid that they will not stop, but at the moment, the most important thing is to use the gray dog and their corpses to go to the government in exchange for some money.
In this way, he will be able to have a way to deal with the bandits!
The corpse of the gray dog of the fourth leader of the bandits is worth fifty taels, and if it is caught alive, it can be exchanged for a hundred taels.
It's just that Jiang Chao doesn't want to stay alive. The dead will be less of a threat to him. There is not much difference between fifty taels more and fifty taels less.
When the village chief heard this, he looked at Jiang Chao in surprise, as if he couldn't imagine that Jiang Chao could be so calm.
It was even more unthinkable that Jiang Chao would kill the four bandits and Su Daquan with his own strength.
The current village chief has long been unable to connect Jiang Chao with that waste slacker.
Faintly, he naturally had a trust in Jiang Chao. Xu is Jiang Chao's inexplicable momentum affected him.
"Hmmm! I'll arrange it right away! The village chief nodded, and hurriedly went to find someone.
Some of the young people in the village went to military service because they couldn't pay taxes, and there were about 30 young people left.
The rest are middle-aged people over 50 years old, and children under the age of 16.
The village chief soon found a boy named Ah Sheng, fifteen years old!
The village chief personally drove the donkey cart, took Ah Sheng, accompanied Jiang Chao, and sent the two corpses to the county office.
After the county Cheng knew about this, he personally came to check the corpse, and his face was full of surprise and asked his subordinates to give a reward of eighty taels of silver.
The bandits around Anning County have always been a headache for the government.
Especially recently, the newly taken over the fiefdom of the county lord of Anning, the county lord of Ningxue! Hell-bent on rectifying the bandits.
On several occasions, Anning County was given the task of suppressing bandits.
It's just that there is no garrison in this Anning County, how can it be possible to complete this task just by relying on the county government's quick arrest.
The two corpses sent by Jiang Chao can make them deal with each other for the time being.
Even, he, the county leader, may take this opportunity to go further. Of course, it's refreshing to give money.
After handing over the corpse, Jiang Chao gave the village chief and Ah Sheng one or two pieces of silver, which was considered a hardship fee.
The village chief didn't want to live or die. But at Jiang Chao's insistence, the two accepted it.
One or two pieces of silver can be enough for two adults in the family to pay taxes for a year.
The people in the backing village were worried about the tax and silver every year, and the village chief did not shirk again.
Next, Jiang Chao went to the pharmacy to look for saltpeter and sulfur, which were used by Taoist priests for alchemy in ancient times, and could be bought in the pharmacy.
Jiang Chao and they ran all over the county, bought almost all the saltpeter and sulfur, and then bought a lot of charcoal. and flammable oil oils.
