Chapter 29
The rain was pouring.
The bloody smell in the house was even more pungent.
There were corpses lying on the ground. Ning Fan had killed only four of the wealthy people who came to the banquet, including Zhou Hua’s father-in-law.
Ning Fan held the Tianhuang knife and wiped the blood off the knife on a corpse.
“Come on, drink, drink, we can’t let these guys ruin our mood!”
Ning Fan walked to the seat and waved to a few people.
He took the wine and drank it.
The spicy and mellow fragrance went straight into his stomach.
“Good wine, good wine!”
“Thank you for your hospitality. There are still trivial matters in the military camp, so I can’t continue with you.”
As he spoke, Ning Fan stood up to leave.
Everyone hurriedly stood up, including Wei Ran, with fear in their eyes. They couldn’t imagine that the banquet they set up had become a purgatory that would kill them.
“Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Wang Fu, the father-in-law of Mr. Zhou, right?”
Suddenly, Ning Fan turned around and spoke with a smile.
Swoosh!
He raised the knife again, and the blade cut along Wang Fu’s neck. Blood spurted out, and the old man, who was worried, fell to the ground.
“Their crimes are all on this table. If you need evidence, Ning will definitely offer it with both hands. I will not refuse the gifts from you below.”
After that, Ning Fan went downstairs and left.
Wei Ran and the other two, as well as the three wealthy men who were still alive, looked at Ning Fan’s back with their eyes wide open, but no one dared to say a word.
“If… there is nothing on this that can nail us, I will let him know what regret is!”
Wei Ran gritted his teeth.
He picked up the things Ning Fan had dropped on the table. When he saw what was written on the paper, he seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
It’s over, it’s completely over. They were completely defeated this time!
These people died in vain!
Evening.
Ning Fan looked at the gift lists one by one, with some surprise in his eyes. These guys were really generous. This was a considerable fortune.
He would not refuse. Since people came to his door, he must accept it.
Moreover, a considerable part of these things were originally his Ning family’s things, and were later swallowed by these guys.
Now, Ning Fan is the captain, how can he lead the troops without some gold and silver in his hands?
“The Northern Mang army was defeated. It should be fine before the New Year. If there is another battle, it will probably be in the early spring of next year. What I have to do now is to be careful of the counterattack of these guys.”
Ning Fan doesn’t think that Wei Ran and his men will just give in.
These guys have been operating in Ancheng for many years and are deeply rooted.
And this time they were careless and didn’t bring any masters with them. Otherwise, how could Ning Fan retaliate so smoothly?
So, they will definitely not give up and will wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
Retaliation, Ning Fan is naturally not afraid.
Not to mention that he has thousands of troops under his command, his eight hundred Snow Dragon Riders alone are a trump card.
But no one knows what tricks these guys will play, so Ning Fan must be on guard and can’t take it lightly, after all, this is in the opponent’s territory.
Late at night, in the backyard of the county government.
Wei Ran’s eyes were red and bloodshot. Tong Zhou, the master of the law, stood beside him. Zhou Hua and some wealthy people were sitting in the house. The atmosphere was gloomy.
Among these wealthy people, some had not been to the Lion Tower, and some were descendants of wealthy people who died in the Lion Tower. In short, most of the wealthy people in Ancheng came.
“This revenge must be avenged!”
Wei Ran’s voice was low, but full of anger.
“Yes, the Ning family is too bullying. It was not us who destroyed his Ning family. Now that he has become the head of the city, he is taking his anger out on us!”
“If you have the guts, go to Qingzhou and make a scene. Bah, what a thing!”
Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
“He even killed Mr. Wang in front of you, the county magistrate. This is not a question of whether to slap him in the face or not, this is flipping the table.”
“Humph, in Ancheng, he has to lie down like a tiger and coil up like a dragon, flipping the table… just him?”
“He has a thousand-man army under his command!”
“I have three spiritual seas under my command. If you make me angry, I will directly let the three spiritual seas rush to his house in the middle of the night and kill him!”
“Oh, that’s right, Ning Fan is now living in the city, not in the military camp. Without the protection of a thousand-man army, it’s easy to kill him!”
Killing Ning Fan seems to have gained
Everyone resonated.
If Ning Fan, who was not even at the Spiritual Sea Realm, really wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
“Are you all crazy!”
But their proposal was rejected by Wei Ran on the spot.
Wei Ran swept his eyes over the crowd: “A fifth-rank captain was assassinated in Ancheng. Think about the consequences with your toes!”
“By then, not to mention you, even I will die!”
Wei Ran cursed.
These guys are simply crazy. They want to assassinate a captain in the city, which is tantamount to provoking Emperor Tiande, not to mention that now is a time of war between two armies.
“We can’t just watch him get away with it!”
Someone gritted his teeth.
Wei Ran took a deep breath: “Things will not end like this. Let’s go down. I will find a way to deal with this matter. You all should behave yourself!”
“If anyone rashly attacks Ning Fan, I will not care about you if something happens!”
Wei Ran drove the guests away.
After everyone left, only Wei Ran and Tong Zhou were left. Wei Ran spoke again: “Master, what do you think we should do about this matter?”
“Two ways, kill him!” Tong Zhou smiled.
Two ways?
Wei Ran’s eyes lit up and he motioned Tong Zhou to continue.
“First, send someone to Qingzhou to meet the general and report this matter. Don’t exaggerate. Just say it.”
“Ning Fan’s move is revenge. In a sense, it is also a provocation to the general. So as long as he takes action, Ning Fan will definitely die!”
“Second, now… it is already late autumn.”
“Your Excellency needs to be careful of bandits!”
Tong Zhou smiled, but this smile was a bit ferocious.
Bandits!
Wei Ran was shocked and then slammed the table and stood up: “Yes, the bandits come to rob the city every year to survive the winter. Now Ning Fan is stationed in the city… Tsk tsk.”
The entire northern border is full of mountains and there are many evil people who become bandits.
And the northern border is extremely cold. Once winter comes, it is simply difficult to survive, so the bandits will also come out to rob during this period.
There are two evils in the vast northern border, one is the northern wilderness, and the other is the bandits.
“Bandits… can make a big fuss about it!”
“Master, go to Qingzhou in person, and when you come back, go and pay a visit to the leader of Shenwu Sect. He and I are old acquaintances, and we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Wei Ran smiled faintly.
