Chapter 207 Su Shen and his family frantically loot the corpse
The Su and Shen families stripped the men in black.
Their attention then turned to the corpses of the group of men in black who had attacked the exiles, and they began to stir restlessly.
But they were a little hesitant.
Su Yunhai squinted his eyes, thinking it was worth a try.
He immediately called out to all the bodyguards and silver-armored guards, and they marched toward the exile procession.
The constables had just experienced a major battle and were still a little shaken.
Suddenly seeing a group of people coming from the opposite team, he was so startled that he immediately drew his sword and prepared for battle.
Xue Bufan, the head of the yamen runners, stood at the front, his eyes dark and unreadable as he looked at the menacing people approaching.
I thought tonight's operation would go smoothly.
He never expected this.
The Su family was so secretive, it disrupted the whole plan!
"Stop right there! What do you want?"
Xue Bufan stared coldly at Su Yunhai and his group, and reprimanded them sternly.
Su Yunhai stood up straight, his aura no less imposing than Xue Bufan's, showing none of the subservient, subservient demeanor he displayed during the day.
“These men in black were killed by our people, so of course we have to help you clean up the mess, sir.”
After saying that, Su Yunhai waved to his brothers behind him, signaling them to take action.
Xue Bufan never expected that they would actually target these men in black.
I was so busy with my own things that I didn't notice what the Su family was doing.
He was worried that these people might have some kind of leverage over him, which could be discovered by the other side and expose something.
He directly ordered the constables, "Men, these people are accomplices of the men in black, attempting to abduct exiled prisoners. Come with me and capture them!"
The other constables were stunned for a moment, not expecting their commander to issue such an order.
This commander had just been transferred to the escort department ten days ago, and these yamen runners didn't know much about Xue Bufan.
All that is known is that he is the most powerful of all the yamen runners.
He was primarily responsible for escorting this exile caravan.
"What are you all standing there for? Do you want to disobey my orders?" Xue Bufan roared.
The constables then realized what was happening and charged at the Su family's group with their knives.
Su Yunhai hadn't expected Xue Bufan to react so strongly, which suggested that the identities of these men in black were highly questionable, hence his behavior.
But they were just ordinary people. If they directly fought with these yamen runners, they would definitely be the ones who suffered in the end.
He was already quickly calculating the success rate of killing all these yamen runners in his mind.
at this time.
A clear voice, tinged with a hint of authority, rang out.
"What a magnificent display!"
Mu Wanjun didn't know what Su's father wanted to do, but she was definitely on his side.
Not wanting Su's father to suffer a loss, she immediately pulled Mu Hongqi over.
"You bunch of useless cowards! When the assassins were trying to kill us, you hid behind them like cowards!"
"If it weren't for their help in dealing with the assassins, you might have been killed long ago!"
"They were just trying to dispose of the assassins' bodies to help you clean up the mess, but you've taken advantage of it and started blaming your benefactors!"
"A bunch of wicked people!"
"If I had known you were like this, I would have preferred to have died sooner, so I wouldn't have been polluting the air here!"
Although the Mu family was exiled and their property confiscated by the emperor, Mu Wanjun's title of princess was not revoked by the emperor.
She was also the Princess Anrong, a woman of exceptional status.
Although it doesn't have any real effect, it still has some deterrent effect.
the most important reason.
This is because Mu Wanjun's maternal grandfather was the Marquis of Pingxi, who had his own fiefdom in the western border and commanded an army of 100,000.
He is the only marquis among all the marquises who still holds military power.
These yamen runners were all ordinary working people, and they dared not offend Princess Anrong openly.
“Princess Anrong, this is not something you should interfere in.”
Xue Bufan didn't expect this person to interfere in such matters, but he was clearly mindful of her status and slightly toned down his aura.
"Heh, it's not my business to get involved in saving you people, so why did you have to ask?" Mu Wanjun showed him no mercy.
This woman had been pushing his limits all night, and Xue Bufan's anger was starting to fester.
Not wanting Mu Wanjun to offend the yamen runners, Su Yunhai immediately stepped forward to explain.
"Officer, don't misunderstand. We just wanted to check if they had any valuables on them. They hurt so many of us, they deserve some compensation, don't they?"
"We've already dug the pits over there. Let's just throw these people in, saving the police the trouble of doing it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Bufan realized that this was what the fat man was planning.
The yamen runners hadn't originally thought of this matter.
After the fat man pointed it out, they became even more unwilling to give up the corpse.
Aren't those escorting officials just trying to make a quick buck?
"No, these assassins are important evidence of the assassination of exiled prisoners. We need to hand them over to the government. You have no right to handle them privately. Leave now."
Guo Xiaodong, the captain of the yamen runners, immediately stepped forward to refuse.
Xue Bufan didn't want these yamen runners to come into contact with the corpses.
"If that's the case, then you can take it away. However, this matter is settled between us. You are not allowed to spread the word about what happened tonight, or don't blame us for being ruthless!" Xue Bufan warned sternly.
Su Yunhai immediately understood the deeper meaning in Xue Bufan's words.
One reason was to settle the score with the Su family for saving the yamen runners and exiling the prisoners.
Secondly, it was simply to prevent them from keeping the fact that the yamen runners had failed to act when they encountered the assassin a secret.
But the Su family wasn't the only ones present; there were also so many exiled prisoners, weren't there?
Su Yunhai agreed without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards immediately went to move the assassin's body with great joy.
Including the assassins who attacked the Su family, there were a total of fifty-seven people.
If we include the three that Shen Shuli killed during the day, there are a total of sixty people.
This time, we found nearly a thousand taels of silver on the assassins, and we also found a token and a martial arts manual on one of them!
It is named "Canglan Hanbing Jue".
Su Yunhai was very fortunate that he hadn't missed it; indeed, a person's sixth sense is not unfounded!
He immediately took the manual and happily presented it to his wife.
Shen Yuehua has been practicing the Fire Cloud Technique for more than half a month, but she still hasn't mastered it.
It's obvious without even guessing that she's not a good match for that cultivation technique.
This is clearly an ice-attribute cultivation technique; it might be suitable for her.
As for that token...
Su Yunhai had already had Xuan Guang, the most knowledgeable member of the team, examine it.
It can be said with certainty that this token belongs to the Third Prince's residence!
Originally, Shen Shuli was worried that the information she obtained from the assassin today was all false.
Perhaps the information that the mastermind behind it all is the Third Prince is also false.
With this token, Shen Shuli finally felt relieved.
It seems that the Su family and the Third Prince are now locked in a life-or-death struggle!
