Chapter 248 The 8th Level of Hell
The boss only felt a chill entering his body from his waist.
He stopped and looked back, and saw that the dagger in Zhuang Nanrong's hand was inserted into his waist.
Warm, bright red liquid flowed out from the wound, and he asked Zhuang Nanrong in surprise.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Zhuang Nanrong quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed the boss again.
The boss wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Zhuang Nanrong pulled out the dagger again, holding the dagger tightly with her blood-stained hand.
She took a few steps back with determination and fear, keeping a certain distance from the boss, as if she was determined to die together.
The boss covered the wound with one hand and threw the torch in the other hand towards Zhuang Nanrong.
"I never thought you would hurt me! How could you do this to me? Am I not good enough to you?"
Zhuang Nanrong dodged and shouted out the true thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart for many years.
"Because you killed my husband! Because you took me abducted to the mountain and ruined my reputation! Because you are so heartless and killed so many innocent people! You deserve to die! You deserve to go to the eighteen levels of hell!"
The boss was shocked.
"Over the years, my kindness to you, my tolerance and care for you, can't dilute these?"
There were tears in Zhuang Nanrong's eyes, and her dark pupils were full of determination.
"Yes! I only hate you! Every moment I'm with you makes me feel extremely disgusted! If it weren't for you, I should have lived a simple and happy life. It's you who ruined everything for me!"
The boss's body went limp due to excessive bleeding and he collapsed on the ground.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think your husband really loves you?"
"What else? He's better than you anyway!"
"Do you know that when faced with danger, he willingly gave you to me, to the bandits for their amusement? If I weren't their leader, you'd have been tortured to death by them by now! You might even have lost your life!"
The past events are still vivid in his mind, and the boss really feels some regret.
I shouldn't have felt pity for her when I saw her panic-stricken look and had the foolish idea of keeping this woman by my side.
Zhuang Nanrong shook her head vigorously, and the tears in her eyes were thrown out.
"You're lying! My husband would never abandon me. You're just trying to trick me and make me feel guilty! I'm telling you, just forget it! I'll never have feelings for a bandit!"
The boss looked at Zhuang Nanrong with complicated eyes and was about to say something when he heard footsteps.
The yamen runners are chasing us!
The boss endured the pain from his wound and supported himself to stand up.
He covered his wound with one hand and drew his sword with the other, pointing it at the yamen runners, ready to fight them to the death.
For Zhuang Nanrong's safety, the yamen runners took her to a relatively safe place.
The war was about to break out, and the seriously injured boss was no match for a group of yamen runners.
The yamen runners were not polite to the bandits who were fighting desperately. They found the right opportunity and attacked their vital points.
The boss was soon killed by the yamen runners.
The moment she saw the boss vomiting blood and dying, Zhuang Nanrong's heart seemed to be crushed.
She shouted in the direction of the boss.
"No!"
She herself didn't know why she didn't feel happy but heartbroken when she saw her enemy die.
A tear slid down her cheek, and she felt that the tears were too hot, burning her skin!
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Her body seemed hollowed out, and she became a mindless walking corpse.
A yamen runner came to Zhuang Nanrong to comfort her.
"My lady, don't be afraid. The thieves have all been apprehended. You have performed a great deed this time, and the master will surely reward you. The master is waiting over there. Please come with me!"
Zhuang Nanrong nodded and followed the yamen runner with heavy steps to find County Magistrate Cui.
County Magistrate Cui bowed respectfully when he saw Zhuang Nanrong.
"My lady, you are so righteous! Accept my respect!"
Zhuang Nanrong took two steps back and said, "I dare not accept your courtesy, my Lord. This is what I should do!"
"Okay, okay, my lady, take a rest. Once we have counted the goods and money that were hijacked by the bandits, we will take you down the mountain together!"
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore!"
Zhuang Nanrong bowed respectfully to County Magistrate Cui and returned to her room.
Looking at the place where she and the boss spent every day together, her mind unconsciously recalled every little detail between the two of them.
Although she hated the boss, she was not a fool and knew that the boss was really good to her.
Many times, he even treats her better than her husband.
Thinking of what the boss said before he died, she felt her scalp tingling.
She suddenly asked herself a question.
If the boss was not a bandit but an ordinary man, would she fall in love with him?
She kept shaking her head, trying to get rid of this crazy and unrealistic idea from her head.
But the more she did this, the more the idea seemed to have a mind of its own, constantly echoing in her mind.
She held her head, screamed, and then sat down on the ground with her whole body limp.
No matter how she struggles inside, she has to face a reality.
During their long time together, she secretly fell in love with a bandit.
She didn't dare to accept this reality, and even more so didn't want to accept such an outcome.
She gave a bitter laugh and said to herself, "Oh my God! Why do you torture me like this?"
When County Magistrate Cui came to look for Zhuang Nanrong again and wanted to take her down the mountain, he pushed open the door and came in, only to find that Zhuang Nanrong had hanged herself.
County Magistrate Cui and his yamen runners moved out all the property that the bandits had looted. Two yamen runners came out holding two stacks of account books.
"Sir, here is the account list!"
Lord Cui picked up a book and flipped it open briefly, frowning slightly.
Another yamen runner came out carrying a wooden box.
"Sir, some secret letters were found here!"
"Bring it quickly!"
The yamen runner placed the wooden box in front of County Magistrate Cui and took out a letter from it and gave it to County Magistrate Cui.
After reading the above content, County Magistrate Cui frowned even tighter.
Without waiting for the yamen runner to deliver the second secret letter, he directly took out a stack of secret letters from the box and quickly opened them to check.
He was so angry that the vein on his forehead popped out.
"How can this be done! This is simply lawless! I will never let this person off easily!"
The contents of the secret letter were all written by an insider in Changming County.
It clearly states that a certain caravan will pass through here on a certain day, and gives specific information such as the approximate amount of goods and money.
With these evidences, we don’t have to worry about those who colluded with bandits refusing to pay their debts.
County Magistrate Cui asked the yamen runners to keep the secret letter, and he went to find Zhuang Nanrong and go down the mountain together.
He knocked gently on Zhuang Nanrong's door.
"Madam, it's time to go down the mountain!"
no respond!
Magistrate Cui knocked on the door and called again, but there was still no sound.
He felt something was wrong and immediately opened the door, only to see a shocking scene...
