Chapter 21: Gao Yi Wu Dalang

fully protecting her.But she's Gao Jinlian, who knows if she might put arsenic on this dish!Wu Chao slowly retreated back into the room, he opened Gao Jinhua's dressing table.The drawer contained only...Only then did they see Bai Sheng dragging Wang Po towards them. Wang Po, who usually loved to adorn herself with heavy makeup, was now bruised and battered.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I have nothing to do with these bandits!"

Wang Po kept trying to defend herself, but Wu Chao clapped his hands. Two soldiers emerged from the darkness. They were the ones who had been guarding the city gate that night.

Wu Chao smiled wryly and said to Wang Po, "Wang Po, you instigated the villagers, bribed the soldiers, and lured the bandits into the city. Do you admit to these crimes"

Wang Po was terrified. Only at this moment did she realize that the Wu Dalang in front of her was no longer the weak and useless fool from before!

He not only grew taller, but his intelligence surpassed that of ordinary people, appearing as if he were a god or spirit, making it difficult to fathom.

Wang Po was scared, truly scared! Even someone as cunning and skilled in scheming as she, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, dared not face Wu Chao again!

She pleaded incessantly: "Big Brother, I was wrong. I won't dare to do this kind of thing again, please forgive me!"

Wǔ Chāo stared straight at Wáng Pó, saying coldly: "Wáng Pózi, if you were only targeting me, Wǔ Dàláng, it wouldn't be a big deal. But you absolutely shouldn't have incited Xī Mén Hé to covet my wife!"

"But don't worry, I won't kill you. Killing someone like you would only soil my hands."

Hearing Wu Chao's words, Wang Po thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Dalang, thank you... uh!"

Before Wang Po could finish her words, her body suddenly stiffened!

It turned out that Bai Sheng picked up a knife and stabbed straight into Wang Po's back!

Bai Sheng's face was full of disgust and anger. He had almost been tricked by Wang Po's scheme and harmed Wu Chao!

This was equivalent to him killing his own parents with his own hands, putting him in a state of being unfilial, unjust, disloyal, and unethical!

He gritted his teeth: "You damned, treacherous woman! My elder brother is merciful and won't kill you, but I will!"

Wang Po's body slowly collapsed to the ground, Zhang Gennian leading people out from the crowd.

From beginning to end, he watched from the sidelines, his admiration for Wu Chao's strategies was boundless!

"Congratulations, Dalang! From today onwards, you are the top magistrate of Yanggu County!"

Wu Shuo took care of these people in three or two moves. He didn't feel satisfied, so he walked over to Wu Chao and said with a fierce expression, "Brother, these wimps are too easy to beat. I'm going to catch Xi Men He!"

"Wait!" Wu Chao's hand immediately pressed down on Wu Shao's shoulder.

Wushu's towering and muscular physique, was actually suppressed by Wuchao's pressure!

He looked at Wang Gua in surprise. He never expected his own brother to have practiced internal kung fu!

Wu Chao said to Wu Suo: "Xi Men He is adept at navigating the political arena, even if we have solid evidence, we won't be able to bring him down! What we do will only alert him.

"

"Brother, shouldn't we stop him from acting so recklessly"

Wu Chao laughed and patted Wu Shuo's shoulder: "Brother, do you trust your older brother"

"Yes!" Wu Shu said without hesitation,

"Well, that's all for today. We'll have to settle things with Ximen Hu later. There will be plenty of opportunities!"

Bai Sheng walked over at this time and whispered to Wu Chao, "Brother! What should we do with these bandits' five thousand taels of silver"

Wu Chao did not answer directly, but instead took Zhang Gongnian's hand and led him aside. "Zhang County Magistrate, you worked hard today. Take three thousand taels. Two thousand taels go to Chen County Magistrate, and one thousand taels for yourself."

"As for the remaining money, let's divide it among the brothers who caught the thief tonight. Those who were injured should receive double the amount. What do you think"

Zhang Gongnian stared blankly at Wu Chao, thinking he must have misheard.

"No, no, Eldest Brother, you were the one who planned tonight's operation. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to wipe out these bandits. How could you share the spoils with everyone else Let me give you 500 taels from my share."

Wu Chao laughed and said, "If Zhang Xianwei considers me a friend, don't refuse anymore!"

Wu Chao is very straightforward and just divided up all the money right away!

What's even more impressive is that he, along with Wu Shuo and Bai Sheng, didn't take a single penny for themselves. They even gave their own money to the injured brothers!

"High-mindedness!"

"The Wu brothers, truly righteous men!"

A group of soldiers praised Wu Chao incessantly!

After Deng Zhanyou had carried away the corpse and all the silver from the ground, Wu Chao and his two companions entered Wang's house backyard. From her firewood shed, they carried out two chests.

Once opened, there are a full 5,000 taels!advantage of a fool," Wu Chao's eyes twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "That won't work, I don't have any extra flour at home right now.""I've been fasting for three hours now, Master D...
