Following Zhang Yankai's order, a guard immediately stepped forward and pulled Old Zhang's head towards the courtyard.
After leaving the interrogation room, Lao Zhangtou saw that the torture props had been set up in the courtyard, and the dark red cane and torture bench stained with blood stood there, giving people an inexplicable deterrent.
"You made your own choice. I originally thought you were very smart, but you are not very good at making choices. It doesn't matter. I'll help you do it!" Zhang Yankai leaned into Lao Zhangtou's ear and said.
"You are aiding the tyrants, and you will not die well..." Lao Zhangtou said viciously.
"Haha...you can scold me if you want. You have to endure these thirty sticks first and then push him down on the stool!" Zhang Yankai shouted coldly.
The guard immediately obeyed, grabbing Lao Zhang's head and pressing him on the execution bench. The executioners who had been waiting on both sides raised the execution staff with a grim smile.
At this moment, a gray shadow suddenly rushed into the courtyard. It held a cloth bag in its mouth and let out a low growl.
Zhang Yankai glanced at the gray puppy in the courtyard, and then stopped the executioner who was about to execute him.
Everyone's eyes turned over. Xiaotian let go of his mouth, and the cloth bag containing silver fell to the ground. A few silver ingots rolled out of it. Xiaotian then shook his head towards Lao Zhang.
Seeing the silver coins on the ground, Zhang Yankai's eyes lit up, and then he asked tentatively: "Do you want to exchange money for his life?"
Xiaotian nodded humanely, and then pushed the bag with his front paws.
"Go and get the money bag back!" Zhang Yankai said to the men beside him.
Immediately, a guard trotted over. Just when he was about to reach for the money bag, Xiaotian suddenly raised his front paws and pressed it on the money bag. Then he looked at Lao Zhangtou, meaning to hand over the money with one hand and the person with the other.
"Give me the money first, and use the money to do things." Zhang Yankai said with a smile when he saw such a smart dog for the first time.
After hearing this, Xiaotian raised his front paws, and the guard quickly picked up the money bag and the silver coins scattered on the ground.
He ran back and handed the money bag to Zhang Yankai. Zhang Yankai used two fingers to open the mouth of the bag and glanced at it. It was about one thousand two hundred taels. His annual salary was only one hundred taels.
He smiled and stuffed the money bag into his arms, and then said to his men: "Come here! Beat this dog out and continue the execution!"
Immediately, guards holding torture sticks walked towards Xiaotian.
Xiaotian, who was originally waiting to take Lao Zhangtou home, was immediately furious when he saw this. He jumped up suddenly, and after a terrifying roar, it had returned to its original body, and he had already stepped on it under his front paws. A guard.
Its body was covered in flames, arcs of electricity were beating between its hair, and a powerful aura emanated from it.
Zhang Yankai was so frightened that he fell to the ground. The other guards were even more unbearable. When Xiao Tian returned to his original height, they were either frightened or shocked and fell to the ground.
The guard who was stepped on by Xiao Tian was even more unbearable. He was so frightened that he became incontinent.
Xiaotian lowered his head and growled at him, bared his teeth, then raised his claws and threw him far away, hitting him against a pillar and fainting.
Then Xiaotian slowly walked towards Zhang Yankai, and as it approached, an invisible sense of oppression came.
Zhang Yankai lay on the ground and began to retreat. He was scared out of his wits. He had never felt this level of pressure. Now he began to regret his actions tonight.
Xiaotian finally walked up to Zhang Yankai when he retreated to the wall. It glared at Zhang Yankai, as if it was angry that it was playing tricks on itself.
"People...people...take away...money...money...I don't want it either..." Zhang Yankai tremblingly took out the money bag.
Unexpectedly, Xiaotian didn't even look at the money bag, but sprayed out two streams of white air from its nostrils, making Zhang Yankai tremble and close his eyes in fright.
But after a long time, there was no other action. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the arrogant big wolf had picked up Lao Zhang's head and threw it on his back, and then left the escort team in a flash of sparks and lightning.
Seeing the big wolf leaving, Zhang Yankai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the money bag in his hand, and then called all his men over.
There were eight people in total, one was unconscious, one was injured, two were scared to death, and the remaining four were trembling.
Zhang Yankai opened his money bag, threw each of them a hundred taels of silver ingot, and said, "Nothing about today is allowed to be spread to the outside world. Whoever dares to speak nonsense will get the consequences yourself."
"Captain...Captain, what are you going to tell Mr. Ming to the mayor?" a guard asked cautiously.
"Excuse me! I almost lost my fucking life, and you still have to give me shit! If you have the ability, go and do it yourself. If any of you are not afraid of death, just go and help. If you die and be eaten by then, don't do it. I blame me for not reminding you." Zhang Yankai scolded.
After their captain's instructions, the guards all nodded. They were not willing to die. Besides, they had given money, and the money they gave was much more than what the mayor gave.
Their ordinary guard's annual salary is only a dozen or twenty taels, and what they get is equal to their salary for several years. How can they risk their lives with this kind of money.
"I'll say it again, if Zhang Ming comes to you again, if you all reject him, he will go to hell, I will be scared to death."
"If you need to go back and take a shower, if you need to go back to bed, go to bed."
The guards quickly retreated, and several of them decided to go back, take a shower, drink wine, vent, and relax.
Zhang Yankai was relieved when his men left. He could not guess the strength of the wolf, let alone the strength of the wolf's owner.
"To have a pet of this level, he himself is definitely a top-notch strong person, and he has already given him enough face. He watched him take the person away without stopping him at Lao Zhangtou's house, and then asked the pet to bring money to ask for it. People, they obviously don’t want to mess around with people like me, and maybe they are too lazy to talk to themselves." Zhang Yankai thought to himself, and felt relieved when he looked at the four hundred taels of silver in his hand.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ming opened the door of the escort team with high spirits. The scene he originally thought did not happen at all. The yard of the escort team was neat and tidy, and there was no blood on the ground.
It happened that a guard came out of the bedroom. When he saw Zhang Ming standing in the courtyard, he suddenly stretched himself, said something before he woke up, and turned around and walked back to the room.
Zhang Ming looked at this scene in confusion. He didn't understand what happened and why the guard seemed to have seen a ghost when he saw him.
"Where are the people! Come out!" Zhang Ming shouted directly.
Zhang Yankai walked out of the backyard and shouted angrily at Zhang Ming: "Why are you making such a fuss!"
"Brother Kai! Brother Kai! Where is Lao Zhangtou?" As soon as Zhang Ming saw Zhang Yankai, he quickly put on a smile and came over.
"Let it go!" Zhang Yankai said angrily.
"Let him go? How could he let him go? Didn't he say he would be locked up after being beaten with a cane?" Zhang Ming shouted angrily.
"This is the guard team. I am the guard captain. I will arrest whoever I want and release whoever I want. When will it be your turn to educate me! Do you have any official position?"
