12. Turning Point

If it was none of their business, let it go.

Based on this principle, when Wang Yi and the bailiff started fighting, everyone in the inn ran out. Even the inn owner and the waiter disappeared.

Wang Yi used his consciousness to observe the four people. The four people also cautiously looked at Wang Yi. No one spoke, and the inn was strangely quiet.

Wang Yi looked at the four people in front of him. The bravest one was the one with a violent temper, and the smartest one was the one who was somewhat thin.

Finally, Wang Yi broke the silence. "The government gave you a thousand taels of silver to arrest us. Now, I'll give you two thousand taels of silver. You can pretend that nothing happened today. What do you think?"

"Two thousand taels?

Are you kidding? "When the four people heard Wang Yi's conditions, they couldn't help but click their tongues.

Two thousand taels of silver, five hundred taels each. They wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

"Do you think I'm kidding?"

Wang Yi said with a serious face. Then he turned to face Li's Father and took the banknotes from Li's Father's body, "Look, this is two thousand taels of silver.

As long as you pretend that we didn't appear, these banknotes are yours. But, if you must force me, then … … "Wang Yi tore a small hole in the banknotes.

"Don't!"

In addition to the smart bailiff, the other three people panicked. As Wang Yi said, they only wanted to make things difficult for Wang Yi for the one thousand taels of silver.

If Wang Yi could give them a better bargaining chip, they could indeed pretend that they didn't see anything. As for professional ethics, they could go to hell.

"Okay, we promise you." The smart bailiff said, "Then give us the banknotes now!" Then he stretched out his right hand to Wang Yi.

"Haha, why are you still playing this kind of child's game?"

Wang Yi smiled with some disdain, "First you take my money, then catch us and exchange it for one thousand taels of silver. Your wishful thinking is not bad!"

This was indeed what the astute yamen runner thought.

Then he would take two thousand from Wang Yi, capture them, bring them back to the yamen and exchange them for another thousand.

A total of three thousand taels. Just thinking about it made him excited.

Now that he was seen through by Wang Yi, he didn't feel embarrassed. If he was embarrassed over such a small matter, how could he be the brains of the four?

"Then what do you think we should do?" The shrewd bailiff frowned slightly. It seemed that the hope of catching them had fallen through.

"How about this, you let the three of them leave first. When they're far away, I'll give you the banknotes." Wang Yi said.

"Alright, that's settled then!

The three of you can leave! "After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Qian and the other two, indicating that they could leave.

Wang Yi walked to Li's Father's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Li's Father nodded his head and responded with a few words.

Thus, Li's Father took his wife and children and walked out. Li Qian looked back at Wang Yi. The worry in her eyes was clearly seen by Wang Yi.

Finally, under the guidance of Li's Father, they left the inn.

Wang Yi minded his own business and sat down on the bench. He ate the leftover food and held the banknotes in his hand. His meaning was clear. If you dare to touch me, don't even think about getting your money back.

The four yamen runners looked at each other and didn't say anything. They still cautiously watched Wang Yi, afraid that he would slip away.

After a quarter of an hour, the irascible yamen runner finally couldn't wait any longer, "This quarter of an hour has passed. They should be far away. Can you give me the banknotes now?"

Wang Yi wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. He estimated that Li Qian and the others should be far away, "Alright, I'll give it to you." After he finished speaking, he walked step by step towards the irascible yamen runner.

He handed the banknotes to the irascible yamen runner. The yamen runner held the banknotes and was somewhat excited.

Two thousand taels!

"Younger brother, be careful!"

A loud roar came from the shrewd yamen runner. The irascible yamen runner was actually his younger brother. Seeing his younger brother being plotted against, a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. However, it was already too late. Wang Yi had already punched the irascible yamen runner's temple and knocked him to the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Wang Yi didn't even think about giving them the banknotes. He knew that even if he gave them the banknotes, they would still attack Wang Yi after getting the money. The one who strikes first gains the advantage, the one who strikes later suffers.

Therefore, he took care of the irascible yamen runner.

Some people would ask, why didn't he take action earlier? Why did he wait so long?

In fact, when the four yamen runners mentioned them, Wang Yi began to use his consciousness to pay attention to the four of them.

After estimating the difference in strength between him and the four of them, he came to the conclusion that he was better than them if they joined forces. However, the other side had more people after all. If they fought, they would hold Li Qian and her family hostage. Then, he would be in a passive position.

Seeing the irascible yamen runner beaten to a pulp, the three of them were furious. They raised their sabers and without saying a word, slashed at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi hurriedly pulled out the irascible yamen runner's saber and clashed it with the sabers of the other two yamen runners. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard incessantly.

The shrewd yamen runner saw the situation and stabbed his saber at Wang Yi's abdomen. Wang Yi hurriedly retreated, but the three yamen runners continued to rush at him like ghosts.

It seemed that he had underestimated them before. He originally thought that his strength was stronger than the four of them, but now, he could only fight to a draw with the three of them.

Fortunately, he had taken care of the irascible yamen runner when he wasn't paying attention. Otherwise, he would have been finished.

The three of them forced Wang Yi back into a corner. Wang Yi had one foot against the wall and used his saber to block the attacks of the two yamen runners.

However, the shrewd yamen runner was still stabbing at him with his saber.

"If you had obediently handed over the banknotes, you might have been able to keep your life. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and seek your own death!

Now, I'll send you to heaven! "The shrewd yamen runner's saber increased its speed.

Seeing the viper-like saber approaching step by step, Wang Yi was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. Could it be that he was going to die here?

No, definitely not. I still have a lot of time left, how can I die here?

However, facing the saber that was closing in on him step by step, there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, he thought of the scene where Yang Guo was forced into a corner by Jinlun Fawang and then flipped over to avoid the attack.

However, this scene had never appeared in the 《Lightning Attracting Technique》. He couldn't care less. He had to try. Whether or not he would succeed was unknown, but if he didn't try, he would be dead for sure.

He stomped hard on the ground and used all his strength to flip over. Luckily, he managed to avoid the attack. Even though he staggered a little, he still managed to avoid it.

"Kid, not bad, you even know lightness kung fu!"

The shrewd yamen runner saw that Wang Yi had flipped over him but when he landed on the ground, he obviously staggered a little. He couldn't help but laugh.

He wasn't a person of the martial arts world but he still had some connections with them and had some understanding of lightness kung fu.

His face suddenly became serious. "Unfortunately, you've angered me. No matter what you know, you won't be able to escape death in the end!

Go! "The shrewd yamen runner roared and two more yamen runners rushed forward.

Wang Yi's mind was racing. Even though he could barely keep up with the three of them, after a while, the other yamen runners would arrive and he would really be finished.

What should he do? Looks like he couldn't fight them head on, he had to use some tricks.

"Wait!" Wang Yi roared. However, the two yamen runners acted as if they didn't hear him and continued to rush towards him.

Wang Yi hurriedly held up the banknotes. The two yamen runners looked at each other and stopped in tacit understanding.

"Looks like I have to defeat them with money."

He had already made up his mind. "Why don't you let me go, and the three of you split the two thousand taels. I'll kill that hot-tempered guy, and that'll give you more money. Why not?" The two of them fell into silence.

"What are you two doing? Don't forget how this kid played us?

Do you still believe him? "

The shrewd yamen runner heard that things weren't going well and quickly said, "As long as we hold on for a while and wait for the others to arrive, we can catch this kid. Maybe we can even get promoted!"

When the two of them heard this, they thought, 'That's right, this kid is full of tricks. If he really can give them to us, what if he kills one of them with a single punch?

As for being promoted, they didn't really care. Was it possible to be promoted just because you caught someone once?

Even if you were promoted, you would only be a high ranking yamen runner. When would you be able to earn six hundred and seventy taels of silver? '
