Chapter 1806: The Most Direct Method
"What kind of plan is this?" Feicui's eyes widened in shock, looking at Bai Chen as if he were a monster.
In response, Bai Chen didn't say much, and fell directly on the wooden bed under the window and fell asleep.
Although Dongfang Li had never met him before, he could guess his motives.
How could he not guess Dongfang Li's thoughts?
Since Dongfang Li wanted to use him to kill the Tai family, then he would do it. As for what Dongfang Li's purpose was, maybe destroying the Tai family would solve everything.
...
The next day.
Outside the west gate of the imperial capital, there was a mine. Early in the morning, the people lined up in a long and neat queue and came here.
"Hurry up and work, otherwise there will be no lunch!"
A bald man licking his belly shouted fiercely, and his roar was like thunder, instantly shaking the entire mountain.
Such a terrifying momentum frightened the people and they picked up hoes and started to dig the mountain and mine.
This bald man is from the Tai family, named Yue Qiren. Although his name contains the word "Ren", what he does is as cruel as a devil.
These people are driven by the Tai family because of heavy taxes. Yue Qiren said clearly that as long as the mine is mined, all the taxes they owed before will be written off.
The poor people are like grass in front of Yue Qiren, a cultivator, and have no power to fight back. Knowing that the taxes are too heavy and unreasonable, they can only swallow their anger and survive.
The Tai family only sent Yue Qiren here to guard the mine, which is enough to prove its strength.
At least it is no problem to control these hundreds of ordinary people.
Under the scorching sun, people were bare-chested, picking up hoes and shovels, and working hard to dig the mountains. They had lived in the fields since childhood, and such a life was commonplace for them. They had long been accustomed to it. It was just that at home, they could rest and catch their breath when they were tired from work. But here, Yue Qiren didn't treat them as human beings at all. As long as someone took a break, he would immediately whip them, and they would be guaranteed to be torn apart.
There was no royal family or officials in the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the powerful represented everything. The Dongfang family ignored this, and the poor people were struggling to support themselves, while silently praying in their hearts that the Dongfang family could stand up and save them.
Little did they know that the Tai family was the power of the eldest son of the Dongfang family...
Seeing that it was time to distribute food, the people of the Tai family came slowly from a distance. When they put the wooden barrels on the ground, the people swarmed up, snatched the steamed buns inside, and even fought.
In response, the people of the Tai family looked at it, as if they were watching a group of captive animals, with sneers in their eyes.
In the Silver Moon Country, the gap in status and rank is extremely obvious.
The poor have no dignity at all, and their lives are worthless, while those so-called powerful families have no compassion for the world, whether it is the Tai family, the Leng family, or even the Dongfang family.
At this moment, a thin figure was faintly seen in the bushes in the distance, slowly walking towards this side.
Yue Qiren looked up and waved casually: "Go and see who that person is!"
In the Silver Moon Country, Yue Qiren, as a member of the Tai family, is not afraid of anyone. If he sees a suspicious person, he doesn't have to guess which force he belongs to. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will die. This is his style of doing things.
However, when a Tai family guard drew his sword and walked to the side of the black shadow, he fell down directly under Yue Qiren's gaze.
"Huh?!"
Yue Qiren's pupils suddenly shrank. He just saw clearly that the black shadow killed their Tai family guards.
Someone actually dared to make trouble for the Tai Sui. This is quite interesting.
As the black shadow gradually approached, everyone could see clearly that it was a man in black robe. Because the black robe was very low, his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Yue Qiren chuckled disdainfully, and a hint of teasing appeared in his cold eyes: "Go, twist off that man's head for me."
In the plain words, there was a casualness in killing people, which made the people who were wolfing down steamed buns stunned.
More than a hundred guards of the Tai family rushed over and surrounded the man in black robe.
I thought that the man in black robe would die extremely tragically, but who knew that the man in black robe actually flashed quickly. In a few moments, all the guards of the Tai family fell to the ground.
"Damn it, he is actually a cultivator!"
Yue Qiren stood up with a curse, and suddenly stepped on the ground at a distance of more than a hundred meters, pulled out the big knife from his waist, and threw it out directly with force.
The rotating broadsword turned into a circular blade shadow, and quickly attacked the black-robed man in front of everyone's eyes.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the black-robed man quickly took out the black sword behind him, blocked it in the air, and the broadsword was directly shaken and flew far away.
Seeing this scene, Yue Qiren finally realized that this person's strength was not simple. He secretly clenched his fists, and seeing that the black-robed man was less than 50 meters away from him, he immediately roared: "Who are you, dare to provoke my Tai family..."
Puff——
Blood spurted out of the sword. When Yue Qiren felt the severe pain in his neck and saw the blood wave in front of him, he suddenly realized that the black-robed man who was about 50 meters away from him had disappeared.
"A mere Tai family, ridiculous!"
A cold voice came from Yue Qiren's ear. He covered his bleeding neck in disbelief, turned his head in a daze, and saw a handsome face under the black robe. His eyes were bulging with shock, and he fell directly into a pool of blood.
Unexpectedly, the famous Second Master Yue of the Tai family was killed by this strange black-robed man with a sword, and the movements of this black-robed man were like ghosts. Those people retreated backwards in fear as if they had seen a ghost.
Facing the shocked gazes of the crowd, Bai Chen lowered his face, deliberately making them unable to see his face clearly, and slowly pulled up a bloodthirsty arc at the corner of his mouth: "You all go home. In a few days, the Tai family will no longer exist, and you will not have to stay here to do hard labor to repay taxes."
As the voice fell, a faint silver light flashed under Bai Chen's feet. As he moved, he instantly turned into a black wind and disappeared without a trace.
Bai Chen's last words sounded like he was doing justice to save the people, but his whereabouts were so strange, and he killed so many people from the Tai family so cruelly. This made the people feel grateful but also afraid of him.
The heroes they knew from books and plays were handsome, elegant, and upright.
This eerie and evil character completely refreshed their understanding of the word "hero"...
