Wang Wenzhou said with a sense of righteousness, "Xiao Qiang! Don't worry about me, take the men and kill all these thieves to avenge the dead people!"
"My lord! You mustn't! It's because of you that Hanshan exists today. If you die, who knows what Hanshan will become in the future!" Wang Qiang said solemnly.
"Release Wang Wenzhou immediately!" Zhang Jiao said, pointing her sword at Lin Feigang.
"Slap!" Lin Hu slapped Wang Wenzhou across the face and said coldly, "Shut up! Do you want to die?"
"Hmph! To die for righteousness is to sacrifice one's life! How can I, an official, live a life of cowardice! Xiao Qiang, listen to my order, kill all these thieves!" Wang Wenzhou was resolute and looked ready to die.
"No, sir!" Wang Qiang pleaded desperately.
Zhang Jiao waved her hand and commanded, "Follow me!"
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was so angry he almost vomited blood. Jiaojiao! You silly girl, what the hell?! Now you're bringing people over here, aren't you trying to kill me?!
"Don't move! Take another step forward, and I guarantee Wang Wenzhou's head will roll off the ground immediately!" Lin Hu pressed his broadsword tightly against Wang Wenzhou's neck.
"Sister-in-law! Don't be impulsive!" Wang Qiang advised.
Zhang Jiao was at a loss. The fat man was in the hands of the man in black. What should she do?
Pan Lin, holding a wooden stick, pointed at the man in black and said, "Release Lord Wang immediately!"
"If you dare to harm Lord Wang, we'll tear you to pieces!"
"Lord Wang, let them leave the city first! You can't afford any accidents!"
"Wang Qingtian, agree to their request!"
The people of Hanshan still loved and respected Wang Wenzhou. Seeing Wang Qingtian's selfless and righteous appearance, they all advised Wang Wenzhou to let them leave the city for their own safety.
"No!" Wang Wenzhou said with unwavering righteousness, "How can I, an official, live in disgrace! Xiao Qiang, quickly order them to charge!"
"Young Master! How can I let you die a violent death today? No matter how you deal with me in the future, I will not let the villains harm you!" Wang Qiang said, kneeling on the ground.
"Head stableman, quickly order the constables to rush up!" Wang Wenzhou said to the head stableman.
"Lord Wang! Please forgive me for not being able to comply! Hanshan County cannot do without you!" Ma Bantou had already learned of Wang Wenzhou's plan from Wang Qiang.
"Lin Feigang, as long as you release my young master, I will let you leave the city!" Wang Qiang said.
"No!" Lin Fei said with a smile, "It's not that I don't trust you, but the lives of more than a hundred of us are at stake. I have to be careful. As long as you let us out of the city, we will release Lord Wang immediately."
"Wang Qiang! How dare you disobey my orders?" The more Wang Wenzhou acted, the more he felt, believing himself to be a great hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness.
Lin Hu whispered, "Alright, Lord Wang, that's enough! Shut up!"
After Lin Hu finished speaking, he picked up a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Wang Wenzhou's mouth.
"Waaah..." Wang Wenzhou's eyes were bright, still looking like he would rather die than submit.
Wang Qiang said calmly, "How about this, you bring Lin Qing over to act as a hostage, and after you leave the city, we will exchange hostages."
This was something Wang Wenzhou and Lin Fei had just discussed. At a time like this, neither would easily trust the other. This was the safest approach.
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lin Qing walked over, and a constable hurriedly stepped forward to restrain him.
Wang Qiang cupped his hands and addressed the people, saying, "Fellow elders of Hanshan, it was all my fault today! You may punish me as you see fit, but I cannot bear to see my mother lose her only son!"
"Young Master Qiang, please stop talking, we understand!"
"Wang Qingtian is dedicated to serving the people; Hanshan cannot be without Wang Qingtian!"
No one in Hanshan objected; they all felt that Wang Qiang was right to do the right thing.
"Waaah..." Wang Wenzhou wanted to say something in anger.
"Lord Wang, please don't blame Young Master Qiang!"
"Wang Qingtian, this is not your fault!"
Seeing Wang Wenzhou's angry expression, the people of Hanshan quickly comforted him.
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly. That fatso is too shameless!
Liu Rushi arrived with a large contingent from the labor camp, so she knew the inside story.
"Make way! Open the city gates!" Wang Qiang commanded.
Soon, the encirclement cleared a path, and Lin Fei and the others escorted Wang Wenzhou to the outside of the city.
Wang Qiang and his men followed closely behind, not far away.
Lin Fei bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, thank you very much!"
"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou shouted, "You thieves, I will not let you get away with this!"
"Hmm! I understand!" Lin Fei laughed loudly. "Wang Wenzhou is utterly shameless! He wants to be a prostitute and still have a virtuous reputation."
The two sides exchanged hostages. Lin Fei and his men then drove off triumphantly.
Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and shouted, "Chase after them!"
The two groups, one in front and one behind, moved away from the city gate. Lin Fei had just stopped when he said, "Tiger, take some men and throw the silver on the ground."
"Huh?" Lin Hu asked in surprise, "Godfather, why did you give the money to Wang Wenzhou?"
Lin Feigang smiled bitterly and said, "Money is just an external thing. I've already made a deal with him. We'll give him the silver, and he'll let us go. After we join the rebel army, we'll have more silver soon."
Before Lin Fei arrived in Hanshan with his men, he liquidated all the properties in Lin Family Village. A small portion was taken away by women and children, while the majority was hidden outside the city. Now, he took out the silver and gave it to Wang Wenzhou as travel expenses.
"Hmph!" Lin Qing said viciously, "Grandpa, why don't you kill Wang the Fool?"
"Slap!" Lin Fei slapped Lin Qing across the face, cursing, "You unfilial son! It's all because of you!"
Lin Qing almost cried from feeling wronged. His grandfather had always doted on him and loved him, and this was the first time he had ever been so harsh on him. His bottom had been beaten black and blue by Wang Wenzhou, and yet his grandfather was still treating him like this.
"Let's hurry on our way," Lin Fei said.
Wang Wenzhou sat in a sedan chair, with four sedan chair bearers running at full speed. Wang Wenzhou couldn't ride a horse, and coupled with his injury, the pain from riding in a carriage aggravated his wounds, so he had no choice but to ride in a sedan chair.
The special forces battalion has more than 200 people, divided into groups of four. Each group runs a certain distance before being replaced by another group.
Wang Wenzhou, leading over 1000 people from the labor camp, along with over 200 special forces soldiers and over 200 yamen runners, relentlessly pursued Lin Feigang and his group.
Wang Wenzhou was determined to avenge the wrongfully killed people of Hanshan.
As for why they agreed with Lin Feigang to pay for the journey, it was entirely to gain Lin Feigang's trust. If they didn't ask Lin Feigang for money, he wouldn't have agreed to release them so readily.
Wang Qiang rode up to report: "Young master, we found the silver that Lin Fei just left behind ahead."
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Of course we have to keep the silver. How far are we from the ambush point?"
Wang Qiang thought for a moment and replied, "It's still 10 li away, and it will take at most half an hour to get there."
“Alright! We’ll follow them at a distance. Once they enter the ambush zone, we’ll rush out. Remember! Don’t kill them alive! These people all deserve to die!” Wang Wenzhou said viciously.
"Yes, young master!" Wang Qiang nodded.
