Chapter 50 Black Knight (Seeking follow-up reading)

The title of Black-Clothed Killer God has not been mentioned for many years.

The people watching at the door then remembered the story of how the families were exterminated and blood flowed wherever the black clothes went.

Stories are the silence of reality.

The story turns out to be true.

Anlefang was originally a place where wealthy families gathered. Many servants sent by wealthy families to visit the place retreated with pale faces, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran back home.

Of course, the Wuwei Yamen had to report back immediately on such a major event that had just been accomplished.

Also, if the family has any connection with the Tang family, it must be distanced as quickly as possible.

Who knows if the Wuwei Yamen will go crazy and kill people again?
After completing their mission, the armored guards at the gate of the Tang family began to leave in a line.

The alley, which was originally tightly blocked, suddenly made way for a passage.

All the onlookers stood by the road, watching the armored guards march forward, not daring to even breathe.

The iron armor and the blood all over his body, the invisible evil aura emitted by him, made people feel cold on the back.

"Chen, Chen Wu..."

A call from not far away made Chen Wu turn his head.

A handsome young man wearing a green Confucian robe covered his mouth with his hands and his eyes turned red when he saw Chen Wu covered in blood.

"Nothing, it's all rebellious blood."

Chen Wu grinned and followed the crowd forward.

"Oh, what a good man." Someone cheered.

"That's right, the men of our Great Qin should be so brave." Someone shouted.

The people around watched the armored guards moving forward with respect in their eyes.

Feng Cheng, who was following Chen Wu, had a complicated expression on his face and muttered, "This girl didn't even ask if her brother was injured..."

……

Luyang Prefecture is neither big nor small.

For a provincial capital, it has less than 500,000 permanent residents, so it is indeed not a big city.

But as a border town, Luyang Prefecture governs the surrounding counties and has become the center of power, economy, and military.

The news that the Wuwei Yamen had wiped out the Tang family in Anlefang spread throughout the city within an hour.

Of course, this hour started from the moment the black-armored guards marched out of the Tang family's house, leaving corpses at the door.

According to rumors from onlookers, the Tang family carried out more than a hundred corpses, and only a few women, children, and the elderly were left alive.

The last time the Wuwei Yamen carried out such a massacre was more than ten years ago.

In recent years, the only people seen in the city are guards wearing black clothes, and there is almost no sight of a flood of armored soldiers running around.

It was not until the massacre in Anlefang that many people remembered where the term "court lackeys" came from.

When the military guards confiscated property and exterminated clans, those families facing disaster would curse like this.

For two consecutive days, the Wuwei Yamen was extremely busy, plundering the Tang family's property, sealing up their shops, and clearing the land of the people.

On the streets, you can always see a team of black cloth guards running around and sealing up a shop or property.

"Isn't this the Hu family's old shop? How come it's also owned by the Tang family?"

"No wonder we haven't seen Hu Laosan since then. It turns out all his assets were taken away by the Tang family."

"The Tang family deserves to die..."

The hatred between the aristocratic families and the common people is difficult to reconcile, and no one does not hate the rich.

Seeing the shops being sealed off one after another and the shop owners wearing brocade clothes being arrested one after another, the people applauded.

There is no need to examine the evidence of the Tang family's crimes in detail.

The illegal weapons hidden in the Tang family's warehouse, the smuggling account books, the transaction records with Northern Yan, and a lot of Northern Yan's military equipment all made the Tang family guilty.

Even Qian Mu, He Jin and others were surprised. They had been planning to find a way to frame the Tang family with some serious crimes, but now there was no need for that.

Government office, judge's hall.

One by one, the clerks compiled the files and placed them on the long table in front of Judge He Jin. "Three thousand six hundred acres of farmland, thirty-two shops, two wineries, and two mines, which translates to at least one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Two thousand three hundred taels of floating wealth, and other jewelry and other items worth more than eight hundred taels."

"The Tang family is so rich. If they plundered a few more families, cough cough cough——"

Ordinary people's lives were difficult, and one or two taels of silver could only support them for a few months.

Such a family in the city could actually accumulate a fortune of more than one hundred thousand.

How many people have been ripped off from this wealth?

In the files, there are dozens of cases of the Tang family's plundering and forced buying and selling.

"I will hand over any information that can be made public to the prefect. Over the past two days, some people have come to the government office to protest their injustice. The property that the Tang family has seized should be returned, and any that should be confiscated should be confiscated. If we can do something to help the people, we can feel more at ease."

"Old Qian, this time, I'm afraid you're going to get lucky."

Looking at the file in his hand, He Jin had a strange look on his face and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing He Jin's words, Qian Mu couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Originally, he was to be transferred to the county government as a sixth-rank official, a promotion in name only, but a demotion in reality.

But now, at the last moment, he had achieved such a success.

Based on this achievement, it is impossible for him to be assigned to a sinecure position in the county government as previously arranged.

This time, I really got promoted.

"It's a pity that Tang Wenshang, the head of the Tang family, actually fled for fear of punishment." Qian Mu showed some regret on his face and looked at Zhang Yuan beside him.

"That guy has some tricks up his sleeve. You should be careful from now on."

Tang Wenshang actually abandoned his official position and fled before being captured at the Black Ice Platform, which shows his decisiveness.

Moreover, someone must have tipped off Tang Wenshang to this matter, allowing him to escape before the Black Cavalry from the Black Ice Platform arrived.

Since this person has not been brought to justice, the case has lost some credit and has become a potential threat to Zhang Yuan and his team.

Tang Wenshang would definitely remember the hatred of having his property confiscated and his family exterminated.

Zhang Yuan was also very curious as to why Heibingtai failed to capture Tang Wenshang.

According to the situation at the time, it was impossible for Tang Wenshang to escape.

After leaving the government office, he went straight to Wang Qinian's wood shop.

As soon as I walked into the shop, I saw Wang Qinian sitting behind the counter with his head hung down.

"Zhang Yuan, I'm so sorry..."

Seeing Zhang Yuan, Wang Qinian sighed.

The so-called sorry is that not only did you lose the credit you had earned, but you also messed things up.

"I thought it would be foolproof if I took the Black Cavalry with me, but it turned out that old thief Tang got the tip-off in advance and ran away."

"The Black Ice Platform spies hiding in Jiulin County said that the higher-ups have already discovered information about Jiulin County reselling weapons and secretly communicating with the Northern Yan Zhenbei Army. They've been tracking it. This time, they're moving the Jiulin County Magistrate to expose Tang Wenshang's connection and catch the big fish..."

Then, Wang Qinian let someone escape.

Naturally, you can’t catch big fish.

"Zhang Yuan, it took me ten years to get to the position of Chief Officer of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture."

"I thought smoke was rising from the ancestral tombs of my Wang family. May our ancestors bless me, and I, Wang Qinian, can make further progress."

"did not expect……"

"I've calculated that based on this mistake, I'm going to be demoted to the lowest position and become a spy again."

Zhang Yuan could only express sympathy for Wang Qinian's experience.

Maybe it's just fate, as he said.

"Since you are here, I will take you to see the Black Knight." Wang Qinian stood up and shook his head.

"Those guys are so arrogant that they don't even take me seriously. It depends on whether you can calm them down."
