Chapter 220: Robin Hood
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ahhh, a ghost—”
Screams sounded in the dark night. The constables were so frightened that they ran in all directions. However, no matter which direction they ran, there were female ghosts blocking their way.
“No, don’t kill me…” A constable tripped. Then, he felt something crawling on his back. That thing was like a poisonous snake slowly slithering up his body. He didn’t dare to move.
Suddenly, his body stiffened up and slowly fell to the side. Blood slowly flowed out of his temple, dyeing the moonlight red.
The constables died one by one…
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong walked out of the darkness and looked at the head constable running away in front of them with a wicked smile.
The two of them had deliberately let that person go. If he went back, he would definitely report that the constables were killed by ghosts. That way, they would not come harming the villagers again.
Chu Qingzhi walked towards the carriage and helped the girl down to send her back to the village.
The villagers were still gathered at the entrance of the village. There were so many people, but there was no sound at all. There was only the crisp sound of insects. The atmosphere was heavy and terrifyingly quiet.
“Father, Mother…” The girl saw her parents sitting on the ground and quickly ran over. Her voice was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
When the two of them saw their daughter return, they immediately came back to life and hugged her excitedly. “Daughter, daughter…”
The village chief walked over to Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. “Young masters, thank you for saving her. Please come to the village to rest.”
Tang Jinghong wanted to know what was going on, so he did not refuse. “Okay.”
When they entered the village, someone immediately brought two stools over. “Please take a seat.”
Tang Jinghong thanked him and sat down with Chu Qingzhi. “Village Chief, can you tell us what happened?”
The village chief took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
“The county magistrate is inhuman!”
“This person is promiscuous and obsessed with alcohol and women. Not only does he not deal with the official matters, but he also captures girls everywhere to enjoy.”
“That’s not all. The most tragic thing is that the girls he captured were all tortured to death. In the end, they were all wrapped in tattered straw mats and thrown into the mass grave!”
“Some of the girls in the nearby villages were captured and never returned. Some of the girls’ parents were so sad that they waited at the entrance of the village every day, waiting for their daughter’s return.”
“The girl from our village went to the county city to sell eggs. 1 don’t know why, but those constables saw her and came to catch her tonight.”
“Fortunately, you were here. Thank goodness, thank goodness…”
Tang Jinghong clenched and unclenched his hands in his sleeves. He suppressed the anger in his heart with difficulty. “How long has this been going on?”
The village chief recalled and sighed. “It’s been half a year.”
Tang Jinghong was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s late. 1 won’t disturb everyone anymore.” He stood up and pulled Chu Qingzhi out of the village.
Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong’s side profile and said bluntly, “Let’s go and kill that county magistrate.”
If this atrocity was not stopped, who knew how many people would suffer in the future? Despite knowing that he shouldn’t kill an official, Tang Jinghong still nodded. “Okay.”
Chu Qingzhi snapped her fingers. The two of them changed their appearances again.
The two of them sneaked into the county office…
The laughter of men and the cries of women came from a brightly lit room. If one listened carefully, they could even hear some suppressed panting…
Just from the sound, one could imagine how indecent the scene in the room was.
Chu Qingzhi listened to the sound carefully. “There are five men and twenty women in the room. Among the women, one is playing the piano, one is playing the pipa, and seven are dancing. The rest are either drinking with the men or being played.”
If not for the fact that there were so many girls, Tang Jinghong would have burned down that room. “Qingzhi, do you have any knockout powder?”
Chu Qingzhi took out a small bottle from her pocket. “1 brought it. Let me do it.”
She flew up to the roof, lifted a tile, poured some of the medicinal powder in the bottle, and used a spell to blow a gust of wind. Soon, everyone in the room fell one by one. They were all drugged.
It was that simple.
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong barged into the room and killed all five men.
Chu Qingzhi looked around and picked up a brush to write on the wall. “Robin Hood is here!”
Then, the two of them left the room, flew over the city wall, and left the county. No one would have thought that they were the ones who did it!
At the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border.
A letter was placed on the table.
The Lord of the Northern Border frowned. With the scar on his face, he looked even more ferocious and terrifying!
He unfolded the letter and read it…
A moment later, he slammed the letter on the table and said angrily, “Find this Robin Hood!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The subordinate retreated.
Recently, everyone in the northern border was in a state of panic. A person called Robin Hood killed people silently. In just a few days, more than a hundred people had died in his hands.
What was even more infuriating was that no one had seen the true face of this Robin Hood.
The Lord of the Northern Border shouted, “Guard!”
The guard entered the study. “Your Highness!”
The Lord of the Northern Border’s expression was cold. “Is there still no news of Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi?”
The guard lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, “Your Highness, we’ve already strengthened the supervision of various roads, but we haven’t seen the two of them.”
The Lord of the Northern Border’s eyes darkened, and a pressure descended. “Useless.”
The guard immediately knelt down.
The Lord of the Northern Border said angrily, “If you can’t find the two of them, come and see me with your head off!”
Fear flashed in the guard’s eyes. “Yes, Your Highness.”
On the road from the county city to the northern border city.
“Help! Help!!”
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stopped their horses and looked ahead…
A girl in blue was being chased by three men dressed as servants.
When the girl saw the two of them, she rushed over as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. “Heroes, help. They want to kidnap me.”
The three servants looked at each other. One of them immediately said, “Miss, stop fooling around. Go back with us.”
“That’s right, Miss. If you don’t go back with us, Master will beat us to death.”
“Miss, please take pity on us and go back with us.”
The girl panicked. “I don’t know you. 1 don’t know you.” She turned to look at the two of them and was about to cry. “Heroes, I don’t know them. I really don’t know them. They want to capture me to a brothel. 1 really don’t know them. Please save me.”
A servant pleaded, “Miss, don’t slander us. Kidnapping is illegal.”
“Miss, please go back with us. 1 beg you.”
“If you don’t go back, we won’t be able to answer to Master!”
As the three servants spoke, they knelt down..
