at the same time.
Xuanyang City, the Huang family.
The head of the family, Huang Fugui, sat on the main seat in the hall with an angry face, staring at a slave kneeling in front of him.
The slaves' clothes were in tatters.
He was beaten black and blue.
But even though he was seriously injured, he still kept kowtowing to Huang Fugui and begging for mercy: "Master, you must believe me! The young master was really killed by the tiger demon! It has nothing to do with me!"
knock! knock! knock!
Even if his forehead was bruised and bloody, the slave never stopped.
Because he knew very well that the power of life and death now rested in his master's hands.
Even if the master kills him blatantly, at most he will be punished with a cane.
With the master's wealth, how could it be possible that he could not avoid the punishment of a mere stick?
The slave looked very miserable, but even so, Huang Fugui's eyes still showed no mercy when he looked at him, and his anger did not even decrease by half: "Since you said that the young master was killed by the tiger demon, why are you still alive!"
The slave kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Master, it's not that I don't want to save the young master! It's just that the tiger demon's speed is too fast! Before we had time to react, the young master was slapped to death! And he was slapped to death! Well, those two sisters from Lijiacun attracted the tiger demon’s attention, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to escape!”
While Huang Fugui sneered, he gritted his teeth as he spoke: "Ha, if that's the case, then why didn't you come back and report the news of the young master's death to me as soon as possible? You forced me to look for you for a few days?"
The slave was obviously taken aback.
How should he answer this?
If he didn't come back to report the young master's death, he would naturally know that he would only die if he came back.
So after something happened to these slaves, they all ran away.
Unfortunately, Huang Fugui found them in the end.
And now the only one left dead is the slave himself.
"You have nothing to say, right? Huh! You cheap slaves, eat my food and live in my life. If you can't even save the young master's life, what's the use of staying in this world? Come on! Drag him out and beat him! Don't let him He died so easily! I wish his life would be worse than death!"
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"
The slave was carried out.
At this time, Mrs. Huang's voice came from the side passage of the hall: "My son! My son! You died so miserably!"
Mrs. Huang rushed out emotionally.
The two maids following her couldn't hold her back even if they wanted to.
Huang Fugui frowned and said, "Why are you still out? Didn't I tell you not to think so much and have a good rest first?"
Mrs. Huang pulled Huang Fugui's sleeve and cried miserably: "Master, we only have one son, why do you ask me not to think too much about it? Master, Xuan'er died so miserably, you must not let him die unknown." It’s not white~”
"Hmph! No matter who it is! If he dares to kill my Huang Fugui son, even if he is a demon, I will definitely let him be buried with Xuan'er!"
At this moment, the servant's voice came from the courtyard: "Master! Master! There is news! There is news!"
A servant hurriedly came to Huang Fugui.
"explain!"
"Sir, we got the news from the yamen. People from Lijia Village did come to the yamen to report to the officials, claiming that a tiger demon appeared on the hill near their village! It was just that the officials said that they were deceiving the public with their evil words and turned them away. Called back."
Huang Fugui was shocked.
Is there really a tiger demon?
He originally thought this was an excuse made by those cheap slaves who wanted to shirk their responsibilities.
Unexpectedly, even the people in Lijiacun said so, and even took the initiative to report it to the official.
Huang Fugui and his wife were a little stunned when they heard the news.
If there really is a tiger demon, how can we avenge this?
Seeing that Huang Fugui remained silent, the servant continued: "Sir, we saw someone from Lijiacun outside the Yamen who was unwilling to leave, so we brought him back by the way. Do you want to see him?"
Huang Fugui came to his senses and said, "Bring him in."
It didn't take long.
Li Ergou was brought into the hall by Huang's servants.
He was one of the people who followed Li Jincheng up the mountain.
After they escaped back to the village that day, they told the people in the village about the situation on the mountain.
After hearing this, the villagers were all panicked.
Not only could Cuihua and Yangyang not be rescued, but Li Jincheng also got involved?
With no other option, they finally had no choice but to report it to the government, hoping that the government would send someone to help them deal with the monsters. Otherwise, the monster is so close to their village, and they don't know how to live in the village.
It's a pity that the magistrate of the Yamen heard that there were monsters and was more afraid of death than they were.
I don’t even dare to provoke him.
So they insisted that they were deceiving the public with their evil words and shut them out.
Li Ergou was worried that if he left things alone, more people in the village would be persecuted by monsters, so he kept lingering outside the government office, hoping that the official would believe their words and send people to exterminate the monsters.
"Mr. Huang, that's what happened. There really are monsters! Our village's Cuihua, Yangyang, and brother Jincheng were all captured by monsters! We saw this with our own eyes! Mr. Huang, are you a good person? Good news, do you think you can say a few good words in front of the official to make him believe in us?"
Huang Fugui subconsciously mocked: "Oh, these officials are more precious than the other. If there is a monster, how will they deal with it?"
The sound was not loud, but it was enough for people in the hall to hear clearly.
Li Ergou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Mrs. Huang was equally grieved.
However, Huang Fugui quickly changed the subject and ordered the butler: "Uncle Liu."
"Yes, sir."
"I will write a letter for you later. You take it to the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. Tell him that if he is willing to help eliminate the demon, I, Huang Fugui, will be well rewarded when the job is done."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huang was a little worried and said: "Master, that is a monster. Even the yamen don't dare to provoke..."
"Hmph! Everyone in the Black Tiger Gang is a master of martial arts. How can those yamen servants who only collect money compare with them?"
After hearing this, Li Ergou rekindled his hope and even knelt down to thank Huang Fugui: "Mr. Huang, you are such a kind person! You must be rewarded for your good deeds! Your kindness to us will be appreciated by everyone in Lijia Village. I will definitely remember it in my heart!”
Huang Fugui forced a smile to Li Ergou.
But there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Why is it that my Xuan'er is dead and you idiots are still alive?
Li Ergou, who didn't notice it, was still thanking him.
Soon, after receiving Huang Fugui's letter, he learned that the leader of the Black Tiger Gang was being paid a heavy reward, so he took many of the gang's top players to visit Huang Fugui. After negotiating the price, they readily agreed to the job.
After all, it’s not like they haven’t killed the demon that just transformed.
Each of the masters in the gang has martial arts skills, and they are confident that they can easily handle the newly transformed monsters, whose IQs are generally not very high.
So, while it was still early, everyone set off immediately.
Li Ergou was very excited to lead the way for them, thinking that the village was finally saved. . .
