Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 137 Counterattack

Seven days later, that evening, the young man came over with a richly dressed young woman and a girl who looked like a maid, bringing with him, just like before, a lot of food and supplies.

This time, however, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they retreated to the corner of the wall and waited quietly, watching the children in the hut come out to get food. During this time, the two girls secretly wiped away tears.

Time passed slowly, and the scene reflected in the bronze mirror continued to change.

The three people stood against the wall for a long time. Finally, a girl came out of the wooden house opposite, followed by two children.

They came to the wooden platform where the food was piled up, bowed to the three boys, and said a lot of things.

Although there was no sound in the image in the bronze mirror, the actions and expressions in the image showed that the three boys and girls were extending an invitation to the girl, but she declined.

Finally, the three had no choice but to turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, the richly dressed girl took out a few copper coins from her body, wrapped them in her silk handkerchief, and ordered her maid to return and give them to the girl in the wooden shed.

After these events passed, the wooden shed area returned to normal and became quiet as usual.

But as night fell, all the children who had been living in the thatched hut quietly went to the wooden house occupied by the girl.

A moment later, four dark figures emerged from the darkness. Those watching the video immediately recognized them as Eunuch Pao and his men.

They were also the ones who fed the children regularly every day. After the four dark figures stood in front of the wooden house for a while, the other three entered the wooden house according to the old man's instructions. But after a while, the three dark figures came out of the wooden house, and then the four of them hurriedly jumped into the woods behind the wooden house.

The scene fell silent again, but half an hour later, there was movement in the wooden house. The girl, along with a dozen or so children, quietly walked into the woods and disappeared from the scene.

Then suddenly a bright light flashed across the bronze mirror, the scene in the mirror disappeared, and the bronze mirror returned to its original state.

After the video ended, everyone fell silent for a moment. After a while, the old man with the prickly heat broke the silence:

"Ahem, Your Excellency, I... I didn't lie to you, did I? Those fifteen remnants of the criminal clan have been staying here for over twenty days! We've been guarding them the whole time, not letting them leave, but last night after they came, those remnants of the criminal clan quietly slipped away in the dead of night. I don't know what method they used, but my three men couldn't find where they were hiding when they went into the house..."

"Enough! Eunuch Pao, not only can four Heavenly Realm experts not defeat fifteen children, but what is the meaning of you protecting these remnants of the sinful clan for more than twenty days?"

After watching the video, the middle-aged inspector knew that if he continued to play dumb, he would really be in deep trouble.

The footage spanned over twenty days, and not a single scene showed Mo Yuming having any contact with the Sin Clan.

At most, they helped them without knowing the truth. Anywhere, people would assume that it was a rich young master or lady being charitable, treating these criminals as ordinary beggars.

From the very first day, Pao Gonggong and his companions had been in contact with this group of sinners, and they adopted them and provided them with food.

It is clear that these remnants of the sinful race are under their control. In the end, the four of them left early in the night, and then the remnants of the sinful race got lost.

No matter how you explain it, they deliberately let the remnants of the sinful clan go. Judging from the footage, it seems more like that Pao Gonggong and his group colluded with those remnants of the sinful clan, and those remnants were acting according to their instructions.

With such clear facts laid out before him, even a fool would know what was going on. The middle-aged inspector was utterly speechless.

Only then did Eunuch Pao realize that he had been outmaneuvered by Mo Yuming and his group, and he hurriedly explained to the middle-aged inspector:

"Your Excellency, it's not what you see! We really didn't release these remnants of the criminal clan on purpose! There's more to the story! Please let me explain, Your Excellency! We kept them here for over twenty days because..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the middle-aged inspector interrupted him:

"Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! Eunuch Pao, you have taken in the remnants of the criminal clan and helped them escape again. Your crimes are heinous! You can expect to be executed along with your entire family!"

After the middle-aged inspector finished speaking, he jumped onto the carriage and drove quickly out of the city without looking back.

Just then, with a "whoosh!" sound, the Falcon Guards surrounding them simultaneously raised their Demon-Slaying Crossbows and aimed them at Eunuch Pao and his group of four. Mo Yuming's six Heavenly Rank experts also simultaneously chose their respective opponents, took their positions, and prepared to attack!

Just then, the transvestite Pao Gonggong's eyes turned cold, and his ugly face instantly became ferocious. He quickly threw a punch at Long Ye, who was surrounding him and preparing to attack.

The air surged, and the massive shockwave caused all the thatched huts within a ten-zhang radius to crumble and shatter, scattering debris everywhere. As Lord Long dodged the attack, the demon did not seize the opportunity to strike, but instead turned and used the momentum to charge towards the speeding carriage.

A cultivation level three of the Heavenly Rank is indeed extraordinary; the speed is frightening. Lord Long tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Upon seeing this, the Falcon Guards stationed on the roof, who were specifically targeting him, immediately fired ten Demon-Slaying Arrows in unison.

The Demon-Slaying Arrows transformed into streaks of lightning, instantly striking his back. The demon did not dodge, but instead struck out with his palm against the incoming Demon-Slaying Arrows.

"Bang, bang!" Five of the Demon-Slaying Arrows were shattered by the force of the palm strike, creating massive explosions in mid-air that caused sections of the roof below to collapse. The other three were thrown off course by the huge shockwave and shot to the side.

Finally, two demon-slaying arrows pierced through the gap and struck the transvestite in the back.

With a "bang," the two demon-slaying arrows exploded simultaneously, blasting the transvestite to the ground. His back was mangled and bloody, and he screamed in pain.

The defense of a third-level Heavenly Realm expert is truly formidable. He wasn't killed by the two Demon-Slaying Arrows, but was only seriously injured.

Despite the injury to her back, with large sections of skin and flesh blown off to expose the bone, the transvestite did not lose her fighting ability; instead, she became even more frenzied.

Just as his body was about to hit the ground, he quickly stretched out both hands and slapped the ground together. With a "thud," two deep palm prints were immediately left on the ground, and his falling body bounced up and shot forward.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the speeding carriage, grabbed the canopy with one hand, slammed the top of the canopy with the other, and kicked the frame with both feet at the same time.

In that instant, the luxurious carriage was shattered into pieces, reduced to splinters. The inspector inside fell to the ground in a sorry state.
