His shout was like rolling thunder, and the noisy manor fell silent instantly.
Chen Feng!
This name was like a steel nail that struck the hearts of the villagers, guards, and passersby.
Everyone was shocked and afraid of such a fierce person who could fight against a hundred people alone.
Seeing the corpses of the Wu family’s Old Master and the other two, some were confused, some were pleasantly surprised, some were happy, and some were sad.
All the faces present were complex, each having their own thoughts.
Zhang San and the farmers who had been whipped looked at the corpses of the Wu family in a daze.
Not long ago, when this burly man said that he would destroy the Wu family, they thought that he was joking. They did not expect him to really do it.
This local tycoon who had occupied this place for many years had actually died so easily.
The blood flowed out in winding trails, painting the ground a beautiful scarlet. Everyone realized that it was no different from an ordinary person’s.
The person in charge was dead. The remaining guest guards were frightened by Zhou Jing’s ferocious might, quickly throwing down their staff and dispersed, leaving only a mess.
Zhou Jing did not chase after the guards. He looked around at everyone and shouted,
“When I passed by here and saw this local tyrant butchering the common people, I attacked in anger. The property of this Wu Family Manor is useless to me. You guys can take it for yourselves.”
......
Everyone was stunned.
Many people who did not know the situation previously thought that the Wu Village had provoked a powerful person and was robbed and killed. They did not expect this burly man to kill out of righteous indignation and was actually not interested in money.
Hearing this, many villagers became excited and restless.
In the crowd, someone could not help but ask loudly, “Warrior, are you serious?”
“Of course.” Zhou Jing waved his hand.
Hearing this, the crowd exploded.
“Warrior, you really have the demeanor of a hero. This Wu family was bullying people all along. They deserve to be killed!”
“The Wu family has done many evil deeds. We have long wanted to get rid of them!”
Many people echoed loudly. Some were happy because they were united against a common enemy, while more were excited because they had something from profit from this entire situation.
Many villagers could not wait to scatter and rush into the Wu family residence to plunder the money.
A villager passed by the corpses of the Wu family’s three people and thought of the past humiliation. He could not help but kick them a few times to vent his anger.
Soon, the manor was like a swarm of locusts entering the country. There were villagers moving the belongings of the family everywhere.
Zhou Jing did not look at them anymore. He turned around and walked up to Li Chun and the other two.
“Brothers and Sister, thank you for your help!”
“Brother Chen, what are you talking about? Since we bumped into you, how can we sit back and watch you be bullied?”
Lu Xinniang grabbed the blade with her arms and wiped away the blood on it. Then, she sheathed her blade and cupped her fists in return.
Li Chun also stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes burning, “You and I are brothers, so don’t say those two words. On the other hand, Brother Chen is outstanding in martial arts. Even without our help, you can come and go as you please.”
After witnessing Zhou Jing’s bravery in fighting hundreds of people, he was also inexplicably shocked. He sighed in admiration and firmly decided to befriend him.
— Today, Chen Feng had killed a local tycoon, so it was already difficult for him to escape the government’s pursuit. In the future, he would definitely become an outlaw. It was a good opportunity to invite him up the stronghold to join them. He could not miss such a fierce general!
“However…” Li Chun suddenly smiled bitterly. He glanced at the excited villager beside him and whispered,” Brother Chen, aren’t you letting others take advantage of the money you risked your life to obtain? ”
“It doesn’t matter. Money doesn’t come with death. The Wu family’s foundation originally was earned through the hard work of these people. It’s enough for me to casually take some money.”
Zhou Jing did not care at all. He had other thoughts in his heart.
Although he could not even afford to rebel without money, he did not have any plans to do so yet. Compared to a large sum of money, what he needed to do now was to train up his martial arts and make a name for himself so that the world would know that there was someone like him and achieve the goal of “having a reputation”.
Moreover, he really did not care about the “money” of this world.
Lu Xinniang, who was at the side, said in admiration, “Brother Chen is really straightforward! In comparison, we’re all commoners who only see gold and silver.”
Li Chun could not help but smile bitterly. This time, he had even been mocked by his own people.
At this moment, Zhou Jing suddenly thought of something and made a request.
“By the way, I have a favor to ask of Brother Li Chun. Please help me find the title deeds and loan slips in the Wu family’s hands. I have some use for them.”
“That’s easy.”
Li Chun did not refuse. He pulled up a limp steward from the ground and interrogated him.
In terms of plundering, these Green Forest experts were more experienced.
By the side, Lu Yunzhao shook his head and interrupted with a sigh, “Brother Chen, the Wu family’s crime doesn’t deserve death. Your methods are a little cruel.”
“It’s not a pity to kill corrupt officials and landlords. Besides, if you people from the Green Forest weren’t forced into a corner, why would you choose to hole up the mountain?” Zhou Jing glanced at him and replied casually.
Lu Yunzhao said helplessly, “Brother, you’re thinking too much. Although we’re forced to be outlaws, there are corrupt officials and landlords everywhere in the world. You can’t kill them all. Can you divide your concern across hundreds or even thousands of such matters?”
Hearing this, Zhou Jing touched his chin and said slowly,
“I naturally know that I can’t kill them all, but I can also teach them that some people will kill them, and some can kill them. If I didn’t see them, that’s fine, but since I saw them, there’s no reason to let them off.”
Lu Yunzhao was at a loss for words. He secretly sighed at Chen Feng’s fierce temper and great killing intent.
He had always liked to befriend those rich and powerful people who were kind and generous. Although he was surprised and admired Zhou Jing’s strength, he still did not agree with his way of doing things.
