Chapter 8: Storming the Manor, The Chase

Before Li Gou could react, Wang Dahu's knife had already struck him on the head.

"Pfft!"

"Crack!"

"Ah~!"

With a cracking sound, a large amount of blood flowed from Li Gou's head. After a moment of stunned silence, Li Gou let out a heart-wrenching scream, clutched his head, and ran backward.

He ran while shouting.

"No, no, no, don't come any closer."

Help! Help! Someone please save me!

Unfortunately, Wang Dahu didn't give him a chance. He had only turned around and taken two steps when, before anyone else could react, he had already raised his machete again.

In the next instant, Wang Dahu swung his machete repeatedly, hacking Li Gou until he was covered in blood, his flesh mangled and splattered with blood.

The horrific scene stunned everyone around, including Li Gou's accomplices, who stood frozen in place, showing no intention of helping.

Finally, Li Gou collapsed to the ground and struggled to crawl forward.

However, the strength of its struggle gradually weakened, and after a few weak groans, it finally fell silent.

After slashing several more times, seeing that Li Gou was no longer struggling and had stopped breathing, Wang Dahu finally stopped, tears streaming down his face.

"Mother, your son has avenged you."

After roaring, Wang Dahu turned to look at the others, blood dripping from his face, his eyes flashing with a fierce and ruthless light, like a demon crawling out of hell, which made everyone shudder.

However, this brought everyone back to their senses.

"Wang, Wang Dahu, don't do anything reckless! This is Master Wu's house. If you dare to kill someone here, Master Wu will not let you get away with it!"
And all of you, why aren't you stopping him?
Master Wu will certainly not let you accomplices off the hook.”

Upon seeing Wang Dahu, who resembled a demon, one of Li Gou's accomplices immediately felt a chill run down his spine and trembled as he retreated. Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten Wang Dahu and Li Hu and the others behind him.

At this moment, where was their previous arrogant and domineering attitude?
However, his words did not stop everyone; instead, they instantly woke everyone up.

They've already committed murder at Master Wu's house; there's no way they can escape now.

Given this, how could they possibly let go of these thugs and servants who used to bully them?

"kill!"

Wang Dahu shouted and instantly slashed at him.

The crowd behind him followed Wang Dahu, rushing forward in a chaotic swarm, brandishing their kitchen knives and farm tools, and slashing at the others.

Although what they held in their hands could hardly be called weapons, and their bodies were extremely weak.

But ultimately, they have the advantage of numbers.

In addition, Li Gou's accomplices were all unarmed and had no desire to fight.

Therefore, he was quickly killed by the mob's beatings.

However, the commotion caused by the crowd also attracted some people in the courtyard.

However, when they came closer and saw the scene, they immediately exclaimed and ran inside.

Running and shouting.

"Murder! Murder!"

"Instructor Wang, Instructor Wang"
"Help! Someone come quick!"

However, the guards had already been drawn to Wang Chao and the others and rushed to the front yard, so there was no one left to stop them.

As for servants and maids
They were sold into the household of Master Wu, and they served Master Wu and his family. Not only did they not receive any money or reward, but they were also beaten and scolded. There were even cases of servants being beaten to death.

Faced with such a situation, they have no reason to risk their lives for it.

However, Wang Dahu and his men, who were already somewhat bloodthirsty, were no longer caring about anything else.

In their view, anyone from the Wu family deserved to be killed.

In a short time, many of their servants and maids were killed.

When Wang Dahu and his men stormed into the back door of the Wu family, Wang Shi, Li Shu, and the others on the left and right sides naturally noticed the commotion at the back door.

For a moment, they were all somewhat at a loss.

Wasn't Wang Dahu supposed to guard the back door?
Should they offer help in this situation?

Finally, after some hesitation, Wang Shi made the first decision and instructed the team members:

"You few stay here and keep watch; the rest of you come with me to take a look."

Meanwhile, after a moment's hesitation, Li Shu left ten men to guard the area and led the other ten men toward the back door.

When the two arrived at the back door one after the other, they only saw Li Hu and five or six others, as well as several corpses on the ground.

"Li Hu? Where's Brother Da Hu? Did he go inside?"

"Yes, we're inside! How did you get here?"

"What else could it be? We came over to check because we saw a commotion at the back door and that someone had entered the backyard."

"Wasn't Brother Wang supposed to be guarding the back gate? What happened here?"

"Sigh, we've run into Li Gou and his gang here."

After Li Hu recounted the events, Wang Shi and Li Shu finally understood. No wonder Wang Da Hu couldn't contain himself.

"Now what?"

Li Shu frowned and asked a question.

"What else can we do? Let's charge in too."

Looking at the bodies of Li Gou and the others who had died tragically, then at the wide-open back door and the corpses lying on the ground in the yard, Wang Shi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a harsh voice.

"Okay, brothers, let's charge in and take back our food."

Li Shu nodded, shouted to the crowd, and then rushed into the Wu family's backyard together with Wang Shi.

Just as Wang Chao and his men stormed into the Wu family manor, Wu Yuanwai and his entourage received the news immediately.

"Damn lowly people, a bunch of peasants!"

The wealthy man, surnamed Wu, in his fifties or sixties, had a livid face and roared angrily. The servants around him were all silent, heads bowed, not uttering a sound.

It was Wang, the wife of Master Wu, who quickly stepped forward and grabbed Master Wu's arm, saying urgently.

"Master, master, now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's think about what we should do first."

Master Wu snapped out of his daze and looked at the anxious-looking steward in front of him.

"How's the situation up ahead?"

"Master, the leader of those rioters is far too powerful; none of the guards in the manor can withstand him."

Under his leadership, they are already unstoppable.

"Sir, you'd better run!"

"Useless, useless, all of you are useless."

Upon hearing the steward's report, Master Wu became so angry that he shouted and cursed loudly.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

"Ugh, let's go, let's go, hurry up and go through the back door!"

"Alright, alright, I'll pack my things right away."

Upon hearing what Master Wu said, Madam Wang, who was standing beside him, immediately nodded repeatedly.

"What are you still packing for? What time is it now? Let's go."

Once I leave here, I will definitely go to the county and ask the magistrate to suppress these rioters.”

A fierce glint flashed in Master Wu's eyes.

"Then, sir, I'll go and invite the other ladies, young ladies, and young masters."

Upon hearing this, the butler in front of him immediately bowed and said...

"Okay, my wife and I will go first. You can call the others and leave through the back door."
"Wu Liu, protect the master and leave!"

Master Wu's eyes flickered, and he gave instructions to the steward in front of him, and then to the guards in front of him.

"It's terrible, sir! It's terrible, sir!"

However, just as Master Wu was about to head to the back gate, a person suddenly came running from the backyard in a panic.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Master Wu's heart skipped a beat.

"Murder! Murder! Someone broke in through the back door!"

The man was pale and looked terrified and flustered. When he heard Master Wu's question, he immediately gave a somewhat stammering answer.

"Oh no, let's go through the side door."

Upon hearing the reply, Master Wu's expression changed drastically. He made up his mind instantly, disregarding everything else, and headed straight for the side door.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liu followed without hesitation.

The butler, after a moment's hesitation, also followed suit.

Why bother calling for the other ladies, young ladies, and young masters? It's not as important as saving your own life.

On the contrary, it was Wang, the wife of Master Wu, who hesitated at this moment and asked in a tearful voice.

"Master, what about Hao'er?"

"We can't worry about that now, let's get out of here first."

"Can"

However, before Wang could finish speaking, hearing the rapidly approaching shouts of battle, Master Wu impatiently walked away.

What time is it now? Now everyone should be able to escape as quickly as possible.

Only if he escapes will the rioters dare not go too far, and he will be able to enter the county, find someone to suppress the rioters, and rescue his family.

As for what to do if family members are killed.
Although I am heartbroken.

But anyway, he's only in his fifties or sixties, and he feels great. He can just take a few more concubines and have some children.

Besides, his eldest son works in the county, so the family line can't be completely wiped out.

Seeing Master Wu like this, Madam Wang couldn't help but follow him, sobbing.

However, she stopped after taking only a few steps, as she was really worried about her young son.

Gritting her teeth, Wang suddenly turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and glanced at her. A complex look flashed in Master Wu's eyes, but he still resolutely turned around and walked away quickly.

However, after walking only a few dozen meters and turning the corner of a courtyard, a clear sound of shouting and killing entered their ears.

"Kill! Kill that old dog Wu and take back our grain!"

"Kill for food!"

"Kill to get enough to eat!"

Various shouts of battle rose and fell, and soon reached the back of the group.

At this moment, Wang Chao had switched to a steel sword. As he turned the corner, he casually killed a guard and began to survey his surroundings.

When he looked in the direction of Master Wu and saw the three people running away quickly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master Wu"

As the head of the three surrounding villages, Wang Chao had seen Master Wu in his predecessor's memories, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.

"Old dog Wu, where are you running to?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Master Wu instinctively turned around, glanced at Wang Chao holding a blood-stained steel knife, and was immediately terrified, turning pale as a ghost. He dragged his fat body and ran away.

A new book, a seedling, seeking recommendations.
