I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 588

A quarter of an hour later, it was located in a room on the third floor of the inn.

It was quiet outside the window, the bright moon was hanging in the sky, the cold wind whistled and stopped sometimes, and slapped the window lattice one after another.

Wei Changtian sat at the table with an expressionless expression.

"My lord, why did Zhongling become like this?"

Yang Liushi, who was sitting opposite, sighed lightly: "I don't know if County Magistrate Wang is still alive now."

"County Wang" is the thin county magistrate two years ago.

Although this person is not very capable, but with his character, he absolutely cannot tolerate Zhongling County becoming a den of bandits, let alone collude with bandits.

So in the eyes of Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, this person has either resigned or died.

"never mind."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian remained expressionless, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

In this way, the house fell into a period of silence.

Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen live next door, and they must have already noticed that something is wrong with Zhongling County.

But they don't care about it.

If the thieves really dare to cause trouble, they will all be killed.

Anyway, the combat power of any one of the members of the Wei family is enough to sweep the entire Zhongling County.

As for more. Daning has just experienced two years of turmoil, and there should be many miserable places like Zhongling County.

The bandits are in power, and the people suffer.

The government is unable to control the bandits, so they can only let them go, and even join forces with the bandits to exploit the common people.

They saved one, they saved two, but they couldn't save them all.

What's more, the upcoming national war is the top priority.

Therefore, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen are now meditating and cultivating independently like normal people, not caring about what will happen later.

And as for Wei Changtian on the other side.
"coming."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he turned to the closed door.

The inaudible footsteps were very light, roughly judging that there should be about ten people.

Obviously, these people must have come to kill and rob.

The messenger behind it might be the woman, or the soldiers at the city gate, or both.

But none of that matters anymore.

Because just when Yang Liushi stretched out his hand and cast an illusion to cover the entire inn, there was already a fierce fighting sound outside the door, and then it returned to calm after less than ten breaths of effort.

And Wei Changtian didn't even move during the whole process.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Son."

The door was gently pushed open, and Zhang San, whose clothes were covered with blood, walked into the room, and a strong smell of blood came over his face.

The latter stood at the door, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "There are thirteen people in total, and they have all been dealt with."

"As you ordered, the woman was spared."

"Bring her here."

"Yes!"

Zhang San responded, and immediately turned his head and nodded outside the house.

Soon, two people dressed as domestic servants dragged the pale woman into the house.

These two servants were the ones that Wei Xianzhi took with him when he went to Shuzhou City.

Plus a Zhang San.

With only three people, thirteen bandits were dealt with in less than ten breaths, which fully demonstrated that the combat effectiveness of these bandits was really impressive, and they might be able to show off their might in front of ordinary people.

"."

"You, who are you guys!"

With a "plop", she was pressed to her knees on the ground, the woman's eyes were full of ferocity, but she couldn't hide her panic.

She is not stupid.

When the thirteen accomplices moved their heads in an instant, she knew that she had encountered a hard stubble this time.

But even so, she still thought that Wei Changtian and his party were just ordinary wealthy businessmen.

"Guest, there are people from my old lady outside the inn! When they hear something is wrong, they will report it immediately!"

"At that time, our people in the city will come!"

"My old lady advises you to be sensible"

"Snapped!!"

A crisp sound suddenly sounded, and blood mixed with broken teeth flew into the air.

Wei Changtian only gave one look, and Zhang San immediately comprehended and slapped the woman hard, and also interrupted the latter's meaningless threats.

"Now, let me ask you a question and you answer it."

Still sitting at the table, Wei Changtian looked coldly at the woman who was twitching continuously due to the severe pain, and said calmly, "If you talk nonsense, then you don't need to live."

"."

To be able to mix in the environment of Zhongling until now, the woman is naturally not a good stubble.

Although she had just been slapped, she soon regained her senses, and a venomous snake-like viciousness flashed in her eyes.

However, when she turned her head with difficulty, and her eyes accidentally glanced at the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes, she suddenly froze again.

Because there is a small "Wei" embroidered there.

魏.
There are many people surnamed Wei in the world, and there are some big families among them.

But at least in Daning, there is one and only one that dares to embroider the character Wei on clothes.
"You, you are!"

All the ferocity disappeared in an instant, leaving only endless fear.

Only now did the woman know who this group of people came from tonight, and guessed Wei Changtian's identity from this.

She watched Wei Changtian trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence, but the latter had no time to waste time with her here.

"Where is County Magistrate Wang now?"

"Wang, magistrate Wang?"

His body trembled wildly from fear, and his voice was completely out of shape.

The woman was already scared out of her wits when she saw the word "Wei", and she no longer had the will to resist in her heart.

At this moment, she knew that the only way to survive was to tell everything she knew.

"Your-gentleman, you are referring to Wang Ren'an, who was a bit thin, who was the magistrate of Zhongling County two or two years ago. No, no, Mr. Wang?"

"it's him."

Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is he dead or alive now?"

"Back, Mr. Hui"

Not daring to meet Wei Changtian's eyes, the woman held back the severe pain and lowered her head: "Master Wang is dead."

"How did you die?" Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged.

"this."

The woman seemed to be remembering, but also seemed to be organizing her words. She paused for a few breaths before replying tremblingly:
"Yes, it was on the way to the state government to ask the state soldiers to suppress the bandits, and was, was killed by the bandits"

"Yes, some people said that there was a tijutsu surnamed Tang in the prefecture's office who leaked the news, but I don't know why."

"What about the current county magistrate? Why doesn't he care about banditry?" Wei Changtian asked again.

"This, this."

"Because he is also a thief?"

"bad, almost"

"It's interesting to have bandits as county magistrates in Tanzhou."

Wei Changtian sneered, and already understood what was going on in his heart.

It is estimated that the county magistrate Wang had collected enough money to go to the state government to invite soldiers to suppress the bandits, but a prefect leaked his whereabouts, causing him to be intercepted and killed by the bandits halfway.

In fact, this alone is fine, and the people of Zhongling can continue to live their lives with trepidation.

But who knew that the next magistrate turned out to be a bandit.

Wei Changtian had only seen bandits as county magistrates in a movie in his previous life before.

And unlike Zhang Mazi, this "bandit county magistrate" is obviously not a "bandit", but has completely turned Zhongling County into a gangster den.

In this way, it is needless to say the life of the people in Zhongling.

As for why the Tanzhou government doesn't care
It may be because the bandits have paid enough filial piety, or it may be that the state government has no ability to take care of these things because of the previous chaos.

Anyway, in troubled times, there are always excuses.

Shaking his head, without further thinking, Wei Changtian slowly stood up from the table.

He walked up to the woman slowly, and asked condescendingly:
"Where do the bandits gather in the city?"

"There are more than a hundred people in the county and county government"

"There are still some in the several casinos in the city and east of the city."

Soon, the woman trembled and said four or five locations, and then kowtowed desperately.

"Young Master, Young Master, I really don't know the rest of the scattered things."

"Please, please, be merciful and spare my life."

"I was forced. If I don't join the group, I will be tortured by them. I, I can't help it."

"."

The sound of begging for mercy was extremely miserable, but it failed to stir up any waves in Wei Changtian's heart.

In just a split second, the shadow of the knife flashed, and the woman's head flew high into the air, pleading and fear remained in her widened eyes.

And until the head fell to the ground, including Yang Liushi and Zhang San, the expressions of everyone in the room remained unchanged, as if they were no strangers to such a bloody and terrifying scene.

"Tell my parents that they don't have to worry about what happened tonight, and just have a good rest."

"We'll be on our way tomorrow morning."

Returning the knife to its sheath, Wei Changtian glanced at the bleak moonlight outside the window.

"Now, I'm going out for a while."
