It looked like someone had deliberately thrown him out.

Was someone deliberately making me kick this head?

A flash of insight crossed my mind, but I kicked out without hesitation.

This time, I used my foot to pick up the head, and when it was level with my face, I suddenly punched him in the face.

The head flew backwards several meters, crashed into the wall, and then slowly slid down.

This time, the head didn't roll towards me again, but shouted heart-wrenchingly, "Lord, Lord... the district official, someone here has broken the rules."

Before long, I saw a short, yamen runner-like figure appear nearby. The first thing he said after coming out was, "Who broke the rules?"

"Him, it's him!" The beggar pointed at me. "He owes Da Tou three tong shen coins. Not only did he not pay, but he also hit Da Tou four times."

The yamen runner looked at me coldly and said, "Is what he's saying true?"

As I narrowed my eyes slightly, Nie Xiaochun stepped forward, "They're talking nonsense!"

Nie Xiaochun explained what had just happened in detail. The yamen runner nodded and said, "Well! Da Tou was indeed trying to extort money. However, according to the rules, he extorted three tong shen coins from you, but you hit him four times. You have to compensate him with one tong shen coin. Pay up!"

My voice turned cold, "What if I don't have any money?"

The man said, "If you don't have money, that's easy! You can use something else as payment. Da Tou gets to decide what it is!"

Da Tou said, "I want one of his eyes. Or, let that black-clothed woman keep me company for one night. I'll transfer the rights for that night to the Lord."

This Da Tou was very cunning.

He was essentially pulling the yamen runner in. If I didn't want to lose an eye, I would have to hand over Nie Xiaochun.

However, the yamen runner didn't immediately force me to hand her over, but said calmly, "You don't want to pay, and you don't want to lose an eye, either?"

"Since you're new here, I'll give you a few days' grace, but the money will accrue interest. One more coin for each day."

"If you have no objections, sign the IOU."

As he spoke, the yamen runner took out a pre-written IOU from his person.

I glanced at the three of them one by one. "You've all planned this out, haven't you? Preparing to scam me?"

The yamen runner's expression immediately darkened. "Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. People don't die in this place, but if you say the wrong thing, I can make you wish you were dead."

"Yamen runner, hehe..." I walked forward two steps with my hands behind my back. "Let me tell you, I've killed quite a few ghost messengers, and you, a mere yamen runner, dare to try and scam me?"

In a cold flash, I chopped off the yamen runner's head with a single strike.

After the head rolled around on the ground a few times, the body finally fell to the ground.

Soon, I saw the headless corpse crawling towards the head on all fours, hunching over and bringing the severed neck to the head. The head on the ground jumped up and reconnected to the body.

The yamen runner's head rotated a circle, his face twisted as he looked at me and said, "You little bastard, you've got guts, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, I struck again, and the yamen runner's head fell to the ground again.

This time, Nie Xiaochun rushed forward and stomped on the head.

I kicked the headless body towards Da Tou. "Didn't you want a body? Here you go."

Da Tou was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

Before Da Tou could get close to the body, the beggar pounced forward, slapped Da Tou away, and took off his own head to attach to the corpse.

"You bastard... that's mine..." Da Tou cried and rolled towards the body, but the beggar had already taken the lead in attaching himself.

Da Tou was furious, jumped up, and bit the beggar's ear, refusing to let go no matter how much the other man struggled.

Finally, the beggar hugged his head and tore off his own ear, finally throwing Da Tou aside.

Da Tou still wanted to come forward, but I gave Qin Xin a look, and the latter rushed up and stomped on Da Tou.

Qin Xin directly stomped on his mouth, preventing Da Tou from shouting.

I raised my hand, holding a blade to the beggar's neck. "Don't move. I can give you his body, and I can help you return it. If you want the body, don't make a sound."

The beggar nodded slightly. I glanced around. Only the courtyard where I had kicked Da Tou earlier seemed to have someone in it.

I pointed to the courtyard. "Who's in that courtyard?"

The beggar pointed to the yamen runner, who was being stomped on by Nie Xiaochun. "That's his home. He's the only one who lives there."

"Very good! Xiaochun, Qin Xin, take people into the courtyard." After I finished speaking, I clamped the beggar under my arm, along with his severed limbs, and hid inside the house.

I tied up the beggar myself, and then had Qin Xin and Nie Xiaochun secure the two heads.

The two girls were now in a dilemma. The heads didn't have long hair, and there was nothing specific in the house, so how could they secure the heads?

Qin Xin said, "We... we can't possibly hold one each, can we?"

Ye Yang said coldly, "Nail them!" (Tian Ding)

The yamen runner panicked immediately. "Don't nail them, please don't..."
