Chapter 69 Provoking the Real Tiger

  This chapter is No. 18, and it's updated a bit late, sorry.

  Li Wenjun grabbed the iron cage's railing and shook it hard, but the iron cage didn't budge, as if it had grown roots into the ground.

  Hahaha...

  Suddenly, a burst of maniacal laughter came from outside the temple hall.

  "Li Wenjun, don't waste your effort. This iron cage was personally designed by me, Jiang Mou, with a total weight of 8,630 catties. Unless you are a Hercules, otherwise, just stay quietly inside the cage."

  "Who are you? Why do you want to harm me?" Li Wenjun covered his injured shoulder, the wound was very severe, the arrow shaft of the crossbow bolt was deeply embedded in his scapula, and it was extremely difficult to pull it out.

  "Haha, Xue Mei, did you hear that? Li Wenjun actually asked us who we are! Do you think we should let him become a smart ghost?" Another unfamiliar voice of Li Wenjun said.

  "Everything will be decided by Young Master." This voice was very familiar to Li Wenjun, it was Wu Xue Mei, the daughter of Wu Qi.

  "Xuemei, you're really good at talking. Alright, I'll be generous and let him get some benefits since we took Li Wenjun's credit. Let's just tell him who we are."

  As soon as the words fell, someone held up several lanterns and hung them on the hooks of the second hall's beams.

  Several people appeared at the entrance of Er Tang, led by a young man in his early twenties with a elegant demeanor. Wu Xue Mei stood beside him like a little bird relying on someone. Next to them were two other people, one with a leopard-like head and eyes, and another who was about the same age as Li Wen Jun, hanging his head low and not daring to look at Li Wen Jun even once.

  "Governor Wu, you really think highly of me, Li Wenjun. Your whole family came out to rob my silver. You and your family are truly despicable." Li Wenjun said with cold ridicule.

  The young man who was about the same age as Li Wenjun looked up and said with some embarrassment, "Li Wenjun, I really owe you an apology."

  "Wu Yiming, don't pretend to be kind and compassionate. If you really feel guilty towards me, then have someone lift the iron cage and let me out. How about that?" General Li Wenjun said.

  "Li Wenjun, don't think you can take advantage of my brother's kindness." Wu Xue Mei's pretty face sank, "You've killed so many officials, it's like rebellion, the law cannot tolerate it. How could my brother be foolish enough to show mercy and release a national fugitive, a treacherous minister and son?"

  Li Wenjun smiled and said: "Big sister, don't randomly put hats on people. As for the truth of the matter, you should be clearer than me..."

  "Dad, what's wrong?" Before Li Wenjun could finish his sentence, Wu Yiming rushed to the back of the desk and helped up Wu Qi, who was hiding behind the desk, trembling with fear.

  Just now, Jiang Xuan didn't consider the safety of County Master when he ordered to release the arrow. Fortunately, County Master reacted quickly and hid behind a hardwood desk, avoiding being shot by the cold arrow, barely escaping disaster.

  Wu Qi composed himself, pushed Wu Yiming aside, adjusted his clothes and hat, walked to the front of San Gongzi and Jiang Shan, bowed deeply and said: "Third Master, Lord Jiang, your humble servant has not disgraced his mission, and has finally captured Li Wenjun."

  Li Wenjun keenly captured the information revealed in Wu Qi's words, and he glared at San Gongzi, questioning: "You want to rob me of my silver, not Wu Qi this corrupt official, but you? No, you're dressed in luxury, should be short of money to spend, so you must have taken a fancy to the great reputation that killing Wang Yonggui might bring, right?"

  Clap clap clap......

  The elegant third master clapped his hands, then rolled up his sleeves, gave Li Wenjun a thumbs-up and said: "Not bad, Li Wenjun, you're really smart, guessed it right on the spot."

  Jiang Xuan continued: "When talking to smart people, there's no need to waste words."

  The Third Master's status is noble, not something that a poor wretch like you can imagine. The Third Master has honors and achievements to his name, this time he is going to the capital to take the imperial examination, he is someone who will definitely pass with high honors, in order to have a great reputation, so as to obtain a good official position after the emperor announces the results.

  A thousand no complaints, ten thousand no complaints. If there's anyone to blame, it's yourself for appearing in front of us at the wrong time. The merit of beheading the great thief Wang Yonggui is too great, and it just so happens that it can make the Third Master complete.

  "Li Wenjun, you are able to complete the three gentlemen with your own body, it is a blessing that can be cultivated by the green smoke on your ancestor's tomb, you must cherish it well."

  "Let your mom's dog fart!" Li Wenjun was furious, his lungs almost bursting. "This good fortune, I don't want it, you can keep it for yourselves."

  Jiang Shan smiled coldly and said, "This matter can't be helped by you. Li Wenjun, considering that Third Master is about to enter the capital for the imperial examination and it's inauspicious to kill someone, I won't kill you for now. Wait until Third Master passes the exam and returns, then I'll use your head to congratulate him and avenge our dead brothers."

  The third master waved his hand and ordered: "Someone come and deal with Li Wenjun, don't hurt his life."

  Several people rushed in from outside the Second Hall, each holding a long gun with a sharp tip that had been polished to a high shine. These people surrounded the iron cage with their guns.

  The third young master grasped Wu Xue Mei's slender hand and said, "My mother taught me from a young age that when interacting with others, one must retain a kind heart. Therefore, I have never been able to bear the sight of blood. Xue Mei, let us leave. Magistrate Jiang will take care of punishing Li Wen Jun for us."

  "Want to leave? Today, none of you can leave." Li Wenjun's dragon-headed goose feather knife suddenly began to shine.

  Jiang Shan suddenly had a very bad feeling, he shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Don't hurry up and go forward, stab Li Wenjun to death?"

  What's lucky or unlucky doesn't matter anymore to Jiang Shan, the sudden crisis made him decide to kill Li Wenjun immediately.

  The crowd surrounding the iron cage raised their long guns and stabbed Li Wenjun inside.

  Li Wenjun swung the Longshou Yanling knife, and a six or seven foot long blade flew out from the knife body, cutting off all the long guns in front of the blade. The remaining momentum of the blade did not decrease, and it heavily chopped onto the iron cage's grid again.

  With a loud crash, sparks flew everywhere, and a considerable gap appeared on the surface of the fine steel railing as thick as a child's arm.

  Jiang Shan was shocked, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger. This time, he wouldn't have provoked a real tiger, would he? He hastily shouted: "What are you all still stunned for? Kill him, kill him quickly!"

  The gunmen stabbed Li Wenjun with their long guns again.

  Li Wenjun saw that the knife was unable to break the iron cage with one slash, so he knew that the iron cage was very sturdy. The power of the knife was relatively weak. He had to think of another way.
