After seeing Cao Shaolin being taken down.
Liu Cheng and several other elders looked at each other for a while before rushing to Yang Kenan.
He gasped, whether out of compassion or fear.
"Kenan, in my opinion, we should let him go! Hmm!"
"He is Cao Ying's son...he is the young marshal!!"
Liu Cheng expressed his opinion to Yang Kenan: "Let's kowtow to him and admit our mistake, or..."
"no!!"
Yang Kenan shouted loudly, interrupting Liu Cheng's plea for mercy.
"He is a murderer and will be executed tomorrow morning!"
He said firmly and without flinching.
Yang Kenan's words made Liu Cheng's breath so stuck that he almost couldn't get up.
Even now, he can still stick to his principles, and Hong Kang thinks highly of Yang Kenan in his heart.
In the distance, Ma Feng also chuckled.
When Liu Cheng saw that Yang Ke was unable to get enough of oil and salt, he felt a suffocation in his chest.
"Well, since that's the case, Kenan, I won't follow you and will be buried with you."
After that, he left with the help of the housekeeper, trembling a little as he walked.
Yang Kenan looked at the villagers below and saw the helplessness and confusion in their eyes.
After knowing Cao Shaolin's identity and being threatened by Colonel Zhang, these simple folks didn't know what to do now.
Yang Kenan reassured: "I will notify the Southern Army to come and support as soon as possible. Don't worry, you can go back first!"
…
Military camp outside the city.
Colonel Zhang and his men had just dismounted.
The bald man behind him couldn't wait to ask: "Colonel, why don't we snatch the young marshal back? The security guard alone can't stop us at all."
Another man in a white coat also said: "Yes! If the young marshal makes any mistake, our lives will be at risk."
Colonel Zhang stopped and took a deep breath.
"Don't you know who the young marshal is?! He won't leave without playing hard."
"If you want to go on a killing spree, you should have done it just now."
"Besides, we want to rule a city, not destroy it."
"They will never dare to touch the young commander."
"Tomorrow morning, follow me into the city to pick someone up."
After saying that, he walked towards the military tent.
What else did the bald man want to say: "But..."
Colonel Zhang shouted: "I have the final say here!!"
The bald man and the man in the white mantle looked at each other with unhappy expressions.
He slandered quietly.
"Hmph! Fart! Just because you are the popular one in front of the commander-in-chief, you don't take us seriously at all."
"That's right. If something happens to me, we're not the ones who lose our heads."
"Then what should we do? We can't really let the young commander be detained by them for a whole day, right??!"
"Hmph! What do these few landowners have to be afraid of!?"
The man in the white coat and the bald man looked at each other, and they both saw the plan in the other's eyes.
"I'm going to find someone."
…
In Pucheng.
Hong Kang and Yang Kenan sat together, while Zhao Xinchuan was silent on the side.
Sister Bai Ling was such a good person, why did she die?
And Dayuan, everyone was playing together before, but now they can only lie in the mourning hall.
Hong Kang gently stroked Zhao Xinchuan's head.
After what happened today, Hong Kang took Zhao Xinchuan out of Liu Cheng's house and took him with him at all times.
"Captain Yang, it was Hong who offended me before, please don't mind me."
Hong Kang apologized to Yang Kenan.
Yang Kenan said: "It's nothing. If it were me, I would also like to have Cao Shaolin put to death right away."
"I heard Mr. Hong say that he was a martial artist before, but I didn't expect his kung fu to be so amazing."
"Captain Yang is so complimentary." Hong Kang said, "Commander Yang has any regrets now?"
"Regret what?"
"I regret that I stopped me then," Hong Kang said. "If I had let me kill him then, I wouldn't have so many troubles now, and you don't have to be embarrassed, Captain Yang."
"What do I have to do?! Shouldn't Cao Shaolin be executed??!"
Seeing that Yang Kenan still had a tough temper, Hong Kang reminded: "To this day, I don't doubt your determination, Commander Yang. But sometimes, the problem comes from within."
"Internal issues have always been the most difficult to deal with. Because at that time, dealing with problems was no longer about right or wrong."
Yang Kenan was silent for a while.
Then he changed the subject and said: "Mr. Hong, how did you recognize that he was Cao Shaolin before? Have you seen him before??"
Hong Kang said: "Teacher Bai told me before he died."
"Teacher Bai?" Yang Kenan said in surprise, "We were all there at the time! Didn't Teacher Bai say nothing? And he died soon."
Hong Kang said: "When you practice kung fu to a certain stage, you can directly initiate it with your heart."
Yang Ke couldn't believe it, as if he was following this story.
Then, Yang Kenan didn't ask any more questions.
Regardless of whether what Hong Kang said is true or not, what Yang Kenan is most concerned about now is not Hong Kang's ability.
"You two, don't mind if I sit here!"
Ma Feng's voice suddenly sounded.
Hong Kang and Yang Kenan looked at Ma Feng. He was holding a jar of wine.
"Please take a seat."
Ma Feng poured wine for everyone.
He picked up the bowl and said, "Captain Yang, you helped Bai Ling and the others catch the murderer today. I'd like to toast you."
Yang Kenan stretched out his hand to stop him: "I don't drink while working."
"Drink a little!"
"No, I'll have tea instead of bar!"
"You're so stubborn, Brother Hong, what about you?!"
Hong Kang didn't say anything, he just picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with Ma Feng.
Ma Feng took a sip of wine and said, "Captain Yang, when you make this decision today, aren't you afraid that your family will die?"
Yang Kenan looked directly at Ma Feng and said, "Afraid!"
"But it is precisely because of fear that I cannot retreat; because of fear, I cannot just watch Cao Shaolin treat human life so carelessly."
“On my first day as a landowner, someone told me that you don’t need to be very knowledgeable to be a landowner, but you must be able to distinguish right from wrong and know what is right and what is wrong!”
Hong Kang was shocked by Yang Kenan's words.
Although there are various warlords and villains who do evil in this world, there are also loyal and upright people like Yang Kenan.
Maybe Yang Kenan's martial arts is not as good as his, but this does not prevent Hong Kang from admiring him.
Ma Feng ate his food, hesitating on his face, but finally decided to speak out.
"The colonel who came today is named Zhang Yi, and he is my senior brother. He is a man who can always say what he can do."
"His martial arts skills are extremely high, and he has troops. You can't defeat him."
Yang Ken couldn't help but smile: "How do you know if you haven't fought before?"
Ma Feng frowned, as if he was in a dilemma.
"I'll go find him in the afternoon, catch up on old times, and see if we can make some sense?!"
Yang Kenan said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, even impossible. Cao Shaolin is his master. As you just said, your senior brother can say it and do it."
Hong Kang said: "Brother Ma, if you want to go, I will go with you."
Ma Feng: "Brother Hong...?"
Hong Kang said: "Two of us together have someone to take care of us, and your senior brother is no match for me."
