Chapter 761 Those Who Speak Wrong Die

Lin Yuesha clenched her fist and said definitively, "Damn it, she deserves to die!"

"Why do you want to join the First Stronghold? What tragic story do you have?"

Lian Qiao looked at Lin Yuesha with a puzzled expression. Lin Yuesha had a rosy complexion and bright eyes, and it was clear that she was a well-protected little girl.

"It has happened before."

Lin Yuesha thought she was quite lucky.

In her previous life, although she didn't gain any family affection or love, and didn't have many close friends, she was still very successful in her career. When she transmigrated to the Great Qi Dynasty, her family was poor at first, but her relatives doted on her, and she was content.

She thought of her older cousin, Chen Dahua. If the case wasn't solved, and her cousin was smeared by the Ma family, she believed that given the Chen family's temperament, they might even commit murder.

"First and foremost, you need to have money."

Lin Yuesha advised Lian Qiao not to neglect her business and to cooperate with her to make money together.

"What does this have to do with being rich?"

Lian Qiao didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Yuesha's words.

If money can solve a problem, then what kind of problem is it?

"No, it's not something that money can't solve."

Lin Yuesha quickly promoted the partnership, saying it was a win-win situation for both parties. She explained, "Think about it, if you have money, you can hire someone to kill you without having to do it yourself. You can get yourself off the hook, punish the bad guy, and clear your name. Isn't that great!"

Lian Qiao nodded thoughtfully. The logic made sense, but something still felt off.

"Young lady, the Eighteen Villages are desperately missing a fresh-faced girl like you. Why not join the Eighteen Villages? I'll take good care of you!"

After the bearded man finished speaking, a bamboo skewer suddenly flew out from somewhere and pierced his throat. He did not struggle and died with his eyes wide open.

"Where did the bamboo skewers come from? Who did this?"

Yu Qiuniang stood up. She planned to execute the bearded man. Was it too easy for him to die so easily?

Lin Yuesha twitched her eye; she knew exactly what this technique was all about.

The pockmarked woman said she had bodyguards protecting her, but she didn't see anyone or hear any noise. It turned out they really did.

Lian Qiao looked at Lin Yuesha and was almost certain that the little girl had a powerful background; otherwise, the bearded man would have been killed so soon after his rude remarks and quick tongue-lashing.

"Yu Qiuniang, give us back our Second Chieftain!"

Behind the bearded man were several bound men. Seeing that the second chieftain remained silent, they realized the men were gone. Yu Qiuniang wasn't joking or threatening; she genuinely wanted to send them on their way!

Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. She had to clarify one thing: she was just an observer.

The bearded man died, in vain. No mention of his past misdeeds or disrespect towards her was enough to upset the pockmarked man.

Lin Yuesha deeply apologizes for the trouble she has caused to the First Village.

"It doesn't matter, those who are foul-mouthed will die, but this way of dying is too easy for him."

Yu Qiuniang glanced at the remaining rabble who were shouting, and then ordered her subordinates, "The time has come, pour oil and set it on fire!"

Several women carried buckets, poured oil on the fire, and then lit the fire underneath.

The scene was too cruel. Lin Yuesha heard the agonizing screams and cries of the people and hurriedly covered her ears.

"If you can't bear it, I'll send you down the mountain first."

Lianqiao suggested that since the conflict was between villages, it was best not to involve innocent people.

"No need, besides, I'm not exactly innocent either."

Lin Yuesha looked around but didn't see the guards who had made the move. She didn't blame the guards; it was the foul-mouthed bearded man who had closely linked her to the people of the First Stronghold.

"The bearded man was killed by my men, so they should be held responsible."

It's really not easy to procure military supplies.

No wonder Wang Binglan has never been able to come to the Forty-Eight Villages to make purchases. Apart from the women who are easy to deal with, the other villages are probably places where you can only come and never leave.

After observing for a while, Yu Qiuniang looked in Lin Yuesha's direction and asked, "Little girl, are you here to discuss business?"

"Yes, procure military supplies."

Lin Yuesha initially wanted to conceal the truth, but then changed her mind. Since it was a collaboration, she might as well be more honest. She needed a large quantity, and a stable supply depended on the Forty-Eight Villages.

"Then I can only apologize."

Yu Qiuniang stood up and refused, saying, "You've just arrived and don't know the rules of our Forty-Eight Villages. We don't cooperate with government officials."

Providing military supplies is a lucrative business, and people have tried to persuade me to do so before, but none of them have succeeded.

If Lian Qiao had known Lin Yuesha's identity beforehand, she would never have brought anyone up the mountain.

The laws of the Great Qi Dynasty protect men and those who commit evil, while making the victims bear too much burden.

Furthermore, the identities of the Forty-Eight Villages were already shady, so how could they possibly cooperate with government officials? It was impossible.

Some money can be earned, some cannot; the rules cannot be broken.

"Chief, I am willing to join the First Village."

Lin Yuesha was very sincere. She was willing to join and lead the women of the First Village to prosperity. Moreover, with her abilities, she would not let her sisters suffer any more grievances.

Sweet words are useless; rules are rules.

Yu Qiuniang glanced at the sky and decided to let Lin Yuesha stay overnight and descend the mountain early the next morning.

Lin Yuesha wanted to say something, but Yu Qiuniang didn't give her the chance and turned away.

Lian Qiao led the people to a cave dwelling, and then looked Lin Yuesha up and down, saying, "Don't even think about providing military supplies. These people from the Forty-Eight Villages are so eager to betray the country, how could they possibly provide military supplies?"

Lin Yuesha was sensible and happened to be in the village dealing with scum today, otherwise she would have been kicked out long ago. Staying overnight was already a great privilege.

"Not even a little bit possible?"

Lin Yuesha didn't understand why someone would turn down money when they had business to do.

"Impossible."

Lian Qiao was very firm; there was no room for discussion or reversal on this matter, and Yu Qiu Niang was unwilling to make an exception for it.

The village has a large number of pigs, cattle, and sheep, and stable business channels, so there is no need to take risks under these circumstances. Besides, the government officials are two-faced and cannot be trusted.

Exile to the Northwest was a serious crime. She had barely survived it, only to be sent by the authorities to a desolate place to fend for herself. It would have been better if she had just been sentenced to death in the first place.

Having escaped death and found a place to stay, life was incredibly difficult.

The people from the Eighteen Villages who were killed will not be let off easily by the Eighteen Villages. They may even join forces with the other villages to besiege and wipe out the First Village.

"Has your chieftain considered this outcome?"

Lin Yuesha sighed, noticing how calm Yu Qiuniang was, not taking the scumbag seriously at all.

"I didn't consider it, but I knew what the consequences would be."

The sisters have already had it so hard. They would rather die standing than live kneeling. The meaning of their lives is to ensure that the sisters in the village are not humiliated.

"Have you ever thought that you, as a doctor, could save more women's lives?"

Lin Yuesha decided to start with Lianqiao, find someone to speak on her behalf, and then slowly infiltrate her.

She could find individual merchants to supply goods, but for large quantities, she still had to come from the Forty-Eight Villages. She had considered finding a middleman to handle the purchasing, but she was stumped by the specific procedures involved and had to give up.
