Chapter 65: Yi Mui is successful, Qi and blood surge!(2/3)
"Today, we will increase the reward on the 'Royal List'. Anyone who eradicates the Thirteen Riders in the Desert will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a divine martial arts level."
Lu Changsheng's heart sank.
The government has increased the reward again. One thousand taels of gold is no longer a small number, it is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.
The last time the government and troops were dispatched, many wealthy businessmen and gentry barely scraped together a mere three thousand taels of silver.
This time the government was actually willing to offer a reward of a thousand taels of gold, which shows that the wealthy gentry in Nanyang City are really anxious this time.
Lu Changsheng squeezed through the crowd.
He saw a corpse lying on the ground, which was riddled with holes and seemed to have many stab wounds.
His face can no longer be distinguished clearly, but the clothes he wears are clearly those of "Shen Ying".
Obviously, the corpse is that of Shen Ying.
This extremely persistent man who had been pursuing the Ten Thousand Poison Sect for more than ten years, and who had carried out a bloody feud, did not die in the hands of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but died in the hands of the Thirteen Riders of the Desert.
Lu Changsheng did not ask how Shen Ying died, but there were already people around him talking about it.
"Yishi Shen used poison to poison the water source in the village where the Thirteen Riders of the Desert were located."
"I had already poisoned many bandits, but it was a pity that I was discovered by the White Demon's people and ended up being brutally murdered."
"Look at Shen Yishi's death. He was poisoned by various poisons. His death is extremely miserable. The Thirteen Desert Riders and the White Demon are really cruel!"
"Alas, now that Yishi Shen is dead, who dares to reveal the list?"
Many people shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for Shen Ying.
In order to wipe out the Thirteen Riders in the desert, too many people died one after another.
"Quick, get out of the way."
"Master Magistrate, please send troops to wipe out the Thirteen Cavalry in the Desert!"
"There were more than a hundred people in my Liu family's caravan, and they all paid to pay for the journey, but they were also massacred by the Thirteen Riders of the Desert."
"They also left a letter on the body to be handed over to the prefect's Yamen."
At this time, people from the Liu family came outside the Yamen carrying corpses one after another.
One hundred and thirty-six corpses in total!
For a moment, a fishy smell hit the nostrils, and many people's expressions changed drastically when they saw this scene.
More than a hundred corpses were placed outside the government office, which was simply shocking.
The head of the Liu family abides by the rules. The Thirteen Desert Cavalry asked the caravan to pay for the toll, and the Liu family caravan obediently paid it without any resistance.
As a result, they were still brutally killed.
The prefect was outside the Yamen. His face was ashen and he said directly: "Open the letter and read it in front of everyone."
"Yes, sir."
So, the officer opened the letter from the Thirteen Riders of the Desert.
The letter stated that the reason for killing the Liu family's caravan was to retaliate against the Yamen for constantly sending "righteous men".
Moreover, the Thirteen Desert Riders also threatened in the letter.
If the Yamen sends people to assassinate the Thirteen Desert Cavalry again, every time they are sent out, the Thirteen Desert Cavalry will massacre a surrounding village.
This time not only did they massacre a caravan, but they also massacred Xiaohe Village.
"What?"
"Xiaohe Village is a big village with a population of several hundred. How dare they?"
"Why don't those damn bandits dare?"
"Report..."
At this moment, soldiers guarding the city came quickly to report.
"Your Majesty, the prefect, there are complaints from refugees from Xiaohe Village outside the city. Xiaohe Village was massacred by a group of bandits. Please send someone to eliminate the bandits!"
The prefect swayed and almost fell down.
"It's too much to bully others..."
The prefect gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
But there was nothing he could do.
Although he is a magistrate, he really can't do anything to the Thirteen Riders of the Desert.
Many people in the city were filled with outrage, but that was all.
Lu Changsheng did not look any further, but went straight to Miaorentang.
He saw that Wang Ruhai's face was pale, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Doctor Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
Wang Ruhai's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those damn bandits massacred Xiaohe Village. I was born in Xiaohe Village, and that is my hometown..."
Moreover, Wang Ruhai's parents are still alive and taking care of themselves in Xiaohe Village.
Unfortunately, most of them are now killed by bandits.
No wonder Wang Ruhai is so sad and angry.
However, Wang Ruhai is just a doctor and can't do anything at all.
Not to mention Wang Ruhai, even Miaoshouyuan was helpless against bandits like the Desert Thirteen Cavalry.
"Doctor Lu, is there really no way to deal with the Thirteen Riders of the Desert?"
Wang Ruhai raised his head, his eyes red.
"There is a way."
"any solution?"
"If a warrior in the divine power realm takes action, he can naturally kill the Thirteen Riders of the Desert!"
Wang Ruhai's eyes lit up.
He is not a warrior, so he doesn't know what the three words "divine power realm" mean.
I was probably still thinking about where to go to find out about warriors in the divine power realm.
Lu Changsheng did not explain in detail.
What Wang Ruhai needs now is to use time to calm down the sadness and anger in his heart.
Time flew by to dusk.
Lu Changsheng came to his master Wu Jing's pharmacy.
Wu Jing has not left the drug store yet.
Wu Jing seemed very happy to see Lu Changsheng coming.
"O Changsheng, sit down."
Lu Changsheng sat down and said with a smile: "Master, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Hey, what's so good about me, a bad old man? I can eat, drink, and run, but I won't be dead for a while."
"Oh, the world is in chaos these days. Bandits are rampant outside the city. I heard that even Xiaohe Village was massacred by those god-killing bandits. I still have a few old friends in Xiaohe Village, but they are gone now...
"
Wu Jing also shook his head and sighed.
After chatting with the master for a while, Wu Jing's body is indeed very strong. Although he is old, there is no need to worry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Changsheng then walked towards Miaoshou Garden.
Along the way, there were refugees begging everywhere.
Some are still children, skinny and skinny.
When Lu Changsheng asked, they were all refugees from the surrounding villages outside the city. They were afraid of being massacred by bandits, so they had no choice but to take refuge in the city.
But how much food can you get by begging?
If we continue like this, we will starve to death sooner or later.
Even if the number of refugees continues to increase, Nanyang City will consider closing its city gates.
Lu Changsheng returned to the small courtyard.
It was completely dark at this moment.
Lu Changsheng didn't light the lamp either. The room was pitch dark and he couldn't see his fingers.
"Dong dong dong".
