Chapter 22: Lynch Law

  Xiao Mo Xiu hesitantly asked, "Should we find two familiar beggars to follow him? It's also good to understand the movements of that scoundrel at any time?" Seeing Yang Bo frowning and not speaking, Xiao Mo Xiu hurriedly said again: "I have two brothers, one named Zhang Gou Er, the other named Duo Zi, outsiders, they are also mutually supportive with my siblings..."

  Yang Bo hesitated for a moment, and since his side was also short-handed, he said: "Alright, tell them that if they're willing, I'll take them with me when the job is done."

  Xiao Mo anxiously kowtowed in front of Yang Bo: "I'll thank the young master for them!"

  For a long time, there was no movement. Xiao Moyu couldn't help but look up and saw that Yang Bo had turned his body to the side, avoiding his kneeling ceremony. Xiao Moyu suddenly remembered what Yang Bo had said before and felt uneasy in his heart. Yang Bo also ignored Xiao Moyu and spoke to Tie Niu: "Go to the mule station and tell them to come here two hours later to pick up Xiao Yulian and leave the city. Wait for us at the south gate. I'll let Xia'er prepare some food and clothes for the road."

  Tie Niu nodded heavily and quickly walked out with big strides.

  Yang Bo glanced at Xiao Mo Yu: "Get up, let's go to Guanyin Hall to take a look at the terrain, remember to call your brother to keep an eye on people"

  After arriving at the small woods near Guanyin Hall, Yang Bo was relieved that he had made the right choice. This place was rarely visited by people, and after lunch on summer days, Guanyin Hall would be deserted except for a few nun servants. Compared to the dark cave, this was an excellent hiding spot.

  After everything was set up, all that was left was the long wait. Yang Bo had a blade of grass in his mouth and was crouched in the bushes, unlike others who were slightly tense, his thoughts had already flown elsewhere, when he confirmed his goal, there were really too many things to consider.

  "Someone is running over!" Iron Bull's eyes were sharp and he pointed towards the yellow dirt road outside.

  Yang Bo pushed aside the branches in front of him and stared with wide eyes, a somewhat familiar figure running over from afar. Only when the person approached did Yang Bo see clearly that it was Zhang Gou'er returning, Zhang Gou'er had been staring at that person, presumably having gotten results.

  "How is it?" Yang Bo asked.

  "Here, here, that guy didn't get any food again today, and now he's preparing to go back to sleep early......" Zhang Dog Er said while panting, sweat washing away the dark skin on his face, revealing several greasy streaks.

  Yang Bo nodded to Tie Niu, and the two of them carried a basket to the side of the road under a tree, pretending to take a break. There were several white steamed buns exposed in the basket.

  After waiting for half a day, a black shadow slowly appeared on the distant horizon, presumably because that fellow had no luck begging for food and was too weak to walk quickly.

  "Here it comes..." Tieniu said.

  "Tiě niú, are you afraid of following big brother in doing this kind of thing?" Yang Bo pretended to be calm and smiled at Tiě niú.

  "Don't be afraid," said Tie Niu with a silly grin: "With big brother here, I'm not afraid"

  Yang Bo smiled slightly, and a stern expression suddenly flashed across his face, distorting it in an instant.

  The beggar walked to the edge of the tree and was immediately attracted by several steamed buns on the surface of the basket. He stopped and stared blankly at the buns, his throat constantly rising and falling as he swallowed saliva, looking at Yang Bo and Tie Niu with an evil eye but not daring to come forward, just standing aside in a daze.

  Yang Bo opened his eyes and quickly took a look around, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. What "dominating the south gate" and "violating young girls", he had previously thought this person was quite an impressive figure, so he went to great lengths to set up a scheme to lure him in. Now it seems that he himself was being overly cautious.

  This man was about forty years old, with a silly expression on his face. If it weren't for the dirt on his body and face, he wouldn't be much different from those ordinary old farmers Yang Bo had seen before. Yang Bo even suspected that Xiao Yulan might have mistaken him for someone else in her panic?

  What's terrifying about this world isn't the so-called bad people, but rather these seemingly harmless "good people" and "honest folks". Once they start doing evil, you can't even imagine what they'll do next. For them, once they've lost all restraint, the evil deeds they commit are often shocking to hear. "Today, I'll let you see what a real bad person looks like!" Having thought this through, Yang Bo gathered up his last shred of pity and opened his eyes, beckoning the man over with a crook of his finger. The man saw Yang Bo's gesture and timidly walked towards him under the big tree where Yang Bo was resting.

  "Do you want to eat? Come over and take it." Yang Bo's words were very calm. He stretched out two fingers, pinched a steamed bun, and threw it under the tree a few steps away.

  That man didn't mind Yang Bo's insult at all, and before the bun even hit the ground, he ran up, bent down to pick it up from the ground, and then ran far away. He must have been starving, for he didn't care that the bun was covered in yellow dust and started devouring it, finishing one bun in a short moment, and then looked at Yang Bo with greedy eyes again.

  Seeing the beggar looking at him with hopeful eyes, Yang Bo smiled and picked up another bun "Want to eat some more? Come on, come over!"

  That person was a bit hesitant, seeing Yang Bo's face full of smiles and seemingly no malice, so he carefully walked over. Yang Bo tore the bun in half and handed it to him "Eat, eat, there's more after you finish... Eat some more, because... This is your last meal..."

  That person was starving and couldn't bear it, in a short while he ate another half of the bun clean, Yang Bo's last sentence wasn't even heard.

  Yang Bo made a sly eye movement towards Tie Niu, and then handed over the other half of the steamed bun. The man had just nodded and bowed to receive it, but unexpectedly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and suddenly everything went black as he fell to the ground!

  Tie Niu casually threw the blood-stained wooden stick to Xiao Mo Yu, who had emerged from his hiding place. Several people worked together to drag the man into the woods. Yang Bo found that this era's washing stick was quite handy, so he let Tie Niu take it along.

  "From now on, I'll train a baton squad to specialize in hitting people's occipital bone!" Yang Bo didn't expect that the baton was actually quite useful for hitting people's occipital bone.

  The yellow earth road quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, except for half a bun thrown randomly on the ground, and around it was a small piece of gradually drying red color.

  Xiao Mo Xiang tightly bound the beggar who had defiled his sister to a tree, and slowly pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist. The beggar seemed to have sensed something and suddenly woke up from his daze.

  "Hmm, hmm, hmm..." The moment he saw Xiaomo Xiu's face full of murderous intent, he immediately understood the situation. He couldn't hold back the urine in his pants anymore and it splashed all over the floor.

  Yang Bo looked at Zhang Gou'er and Duozi with an expressionless face. Duozi's face was full of frenzy, constantly licking his dry lips, while Zhang Gou'er's face was slightly pale but wore a flattering smile, only that his eyes kept flashing back and forth between Xiao Mo'ang and Yang Bo.

  Xiao Mo's eyes closed, muttering to himself, took two steps forward with a sharp knife in hand. The man knew things were not going well and suddenly struggled violently, but the rope was quite sturdy, Tie Niu and the others hated this person deeply, binding him very tightly, how could he break free?

  "Wait a minute!" Yang Bo suddenly said, who had been watching the scene from the side. Xiao Mo was confused and turned back to stare at Yang Bo blankly.

  "What's the hurry? Let him reincarnate so early? Take off his pants and cut that thing off for me first!" Yang Bo instructed casually.

  Yang Bo's cruel words sent a chill down everyone's spine...
