Chapter 75 Ambush and Taking the Blame
  "How are you going to kill them, and how are you going to deal with those imperial officials?"

"Kill the prisoners directly and try not to use official duties." Chen Zhengdao.

"On the way from Lanhe to Yuehu County, there is a section of the road that is about thirty miles long. There are very few pedestrians on weekdays and there are no villages nearby." Chen Zheng said about his plan.

His plan was to find a few reliable people to hide in the grass on both sides of the road, wait for the prison car to approach, and shoot the prisoners in the car with bows and arrows. Once they succeeded, he would retreat immediately.

In fact, Chen Zheng had done this kind of thing before, but this time he was dealing with an official.

"When will the prison van arrive at Lanhe Realm?"

"It should be three days later. I have sent people to keep an eye on the road."

Wang Shen nodded. He really had little experience in planning a murder.

Time passed very quickly. In the afternoon three days later, a group of officers and soldiers escorted two prison vehicles into the Lanhe boundary. However, they did not enter the city, but went straight on their way.

"Why do you still have two children?"

On the mountain ridge by the roadside, two people were standing in the woods. Wang Shen was slightly startled when he saw the people in the prison car, and Chen Zheng's expression was also a little gloomy.

Two prison vans, three people.

In the first prison car was an old man with gray hair. He was standing with his hands and feet leaning on the prison car. He could only stand, not squat or sit. This posture was very tiring.

In the second prison car were two children who looked no more than six or seven years old. Such young children were wearing heavy shackles and were pressed down in the car. In such a cold day, they were wearing single clothes and their bodies were shivering. His face turned pale.

There's no need to kill him at all, and he probably won't survive for a few days.

The prison car arrived later than Chen Zheng expected. The weather was not good, and before it got dark, light rain fell from the sky, with some ice particles mixed in the rain.

The officer in charge of escorting the prison car looked at the sky and walked a certain distance before choosing an abandoned house not far from the roadside and stopping.

"We'll spend the night here today!"

Several soldiers were responsible for collecting firewood and making fire for cooking.

Chen Zhengze and his men hid in the woods.

"Hall Master, what shall we do?"

"Wait, wait until late at night before taking action." Chen Zheng said decisively, "You guys wait here, I will take a closer look."

"Master, be careful!"

Chen Zheng turned around and went deep into the forest and found Wang Shen. Chen Zheng didn't invite Wang Shen originally, he came by himself.

The reason why Wang Shen came was because he felt that one of the escorting soldiers looked something wrong. When the man walked, his steps seemed to be measured, and each step seemed to be the same length.

They agreed that Wang Shen would hide somewhere else. If they couldn't solve the problem, Wang Shen would take action again.

"Do you want to start here?"

"Right here, after dark."

"Kill those two children too?"

"Kill, they won't live long, why not give them a good life!" Chen Zheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, Wang Shen remained silent after hearing this.

"This place is only twenty miles away from Lanhe. Why don't they go to Lanhe's Yamen to spend the night instead of staying in such a deserted place?" Wang Shen was quite puzzled by this.

"I also find it strange that they mostly took small paths along the way. Could they be avoiding someone?"

The cold rain kept falling until the night.

In the abandoned house, a bonfire was burning.

The officers and soldiers were sheltering from the cold rain in their houses, but the two prison vans were still parked in the yard. The elderly and children in the vehicles were left to let the rain and ice particles fall on them.

The old man turned around with difficulty, looked at the two shivering children in the prison car, and looked up at the dark sky.

"God, I, Fu Min'an, have never done anything wrong in my life. Why did I end up like this? Why? Why!" The old man in the prison car asked God in a hoarse voice. Wang Shen, who was sitting cross-legged under a tree, frowned slightly when he heard what the old man said.

Tap tap tap, in the quiet night, there is the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near, which seems to be very urgent.

Suddenly, a horse stopped outside Zhuangzi. On the horse was a man, wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat, with a sword behind his back.

"Who?" The soldier on night duty stared at the man.

The man also spoke, dismounted, and suddenly arrived in front of the soldier. A cold light flashed, and the soldier fell down, clutching his throat.

"Yes." Before the other soldier could say anything, he sealed his throat with a sword, his eyes widened, and he knelt down.

In the house, the other soldiers were still sleeping. The woman rushed in directly.

"what!"

"There are thieves."

"Come on!"

With a bang, the door shattered, and the man in black in a cloak stepped back from the house. A man came out of the house, holding a knife nearly four feet long.

"Fu Siying, you are indeed here!"

"Ding Feng." The man in black spoke, and it turned out to be a woman's voice.

"Are you the only one?" The man named Ding Feng looked around and paused briefly at the place where Chen Zheng and others were hiding.

The woman said nothing, just stared at him.

"A family should stay together neatly!" Ding Feng said, and then he suddenly took out his sword, took a step forward, and slashed horizontally, breaking through the wind and rain.

Fu Siying retreated and stabbed Ding Feng's arm with his sword, but he blocked it with his sword.

The swords collided in mid-air with a crisp sound, and the sword in Fu Siying's hand was suddenly shaken aside.

"Who is that person?!" What happened just now was seen by Chen Zheng, who was hiding in the grass. He hurriedly arranged for his men not to move and turned to look for Wang Shen.

"What's going on?"

"It's a trap, to lure out the man who robbed the prison car. Now he's here." Wang Shen said.

"What about us?"

"We? Maybe we are taking the blame." Wang Shen said calmly.

"You mean master"

"Perhaps the gang leader was also kept in the dark."

After hearing this, Chen Zheng's face became gloomy and uncertain.

"what should we do?"

"Retreat, we can't deal with either of those two people in the yard. As for how to explain to the gang leader, you can think about it after you go back."

After hearing this, Chen Zheng immediately turned back and gave the order to retreat to those people.

A few of them suddenly stopped not far away. In the wind and rain, a man stopped them. The man was still holding a human head in his hand. The bloody head was still dripping with blood.

"Hall Master?" Several people on the side were frightened when they saw this.

"Kill!" Chen Zheng gave the order, and his men immediately bent their bows and set arrows. However, the man's figure flashed and the next moment he appeared next to a gang member holding a bow. He was knocked away with a palm. Everyone fell to the ground, clutching their chests and wailing.

When a person suddenly appears and enters the crowd, he is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He draws his bow from left to right and strikes one at a time. Those who are struck by the strike are sent flying, and no one can block his strike.

In an instant, those people fell to the ground. Chen Zheng, who had not run far away, stopped, turned around, stared at the person, and took a deep breath.
