Manager Lin clutched his backside, utterly baffled as to how the arrow had circled behind him when he was clearly facing those people.

"Sir, it's obvious the other side was prepared. Many of our brothers have already lost their lives. What should we do?" a guard asked anxiously.

Manager Lin helplessly pointed to Wu Xing'an, whose head could be vaguely seen under the trap.

"No matter what, we have to get the master out first, otherwise how will we explain to the ladies behind him?"

The guards could only grit their teeth and brave the arrows as they painstakingly carried out Wu Xing'an's rescue plan.

Xu Jinhuan watched her own people shoot arrows while observing the enemy's frantic efforts. Once the wooden arrows were almost used up, she raised the long sword in her hand.

"Brothers, it's time for you to show your skills! Charge!"

Upon hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, Xie Datou immediately led his men out.

Soon, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside the gate of the stronghold.

Before long, Xie Datou and his men defeated all the guards who were still racking their brains to save people.

After all this, Xu Jinhuan didn't even have a chance to make a move, and Xu Jinhuan smiled helplessly.

"Tie them all up. We'll decide their fate after we find out what really happened."

Xie Datou respectfully agreed and began to lead his men to tie up all the surviving people present with ropes.

Ma Wencai suddenly chuckled and said loudly, "Boss, I've caught the culprit! You'd better give me an extra chicken leg today!"

Xu Jinhuan turned her head and saw Village Chief Liu being held in Ma Wencai's hands, his face ashen. She smiled and said, "Very good, this man is yours to deal with."

Ma Wencai readily agreed, "Sure thing, I was just looking for something to do!"

Just then, a woman's scream suddenly rang out from behind.

It turned out that Xie Datou had led his men to confiscate these people's supplies, and they found a group of women wearing veils near the supplies.

The moment the women saw Xie Datou covered in blood, they let out a terrifying scream, scaring the birds in the trees away.

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to walk over quickly to check the situation, he heard someone talking inside the trap.

"Don't touch my Zhenzhen, Ai'ai, or Huahua! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

"I have the Wu family of Beijing behind me. If you don't want to get into trouble, I advise you to release us immediately!"

Xu Jinhuan listened carefully and realized that the old master was still alive. Hearing the screams of his concubines, he couldn't sit still and immediately started yelling at Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan's smile deepened; it seemed this person hadn't grasped reality yet.

"Big Head, tie up those women and lock them in an empty room, then move all those boxes into my room. As for this master, let him stay in the trap by himself."

When thirsty, they drink rainwater; when hungry, they eat mud; when sleepy, they sleep in this trap. Life couldn't be more pleasant.

After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he left the gate of the stronghold without looking back. He had thought that someone powerful had come.

The result was just a branch of the Wu family. She had already emptied the Wu family's coffers, so why would she be afraid of a branch?

Not long after Xu Jinhuan entered the room, Xie Datou led his men in carrying in various boxes.

"Boss, these are the boxes that man brought; we've moved them all over. His guards and servants have also been tied up and taken to the woodshed."

Xu Jinhuan nodded. The woodshed had been empty since the master-servant contract was signed, and it was now a perfect place to imprison these people.

"Alright, you and Ma Wencai go and interrogate them, find out the whole story, and then report back to me."

Xie Datou bowed respectfully and then left the house with his men.

Only after Xu Jinhuan and the others left did they excitedly open the box and examine its contents.

Um……

This guy probably only has thoughts about sex on his head...

Xu Jinhuan looked at the opened box and disdainfully used his long sword to hook up a piece of clothing that was as thin as a cicada's wing and extremely transparent.

She used the long knife to rummage through the inside of the box, which brought out even more appalling clothes...

Xu Jinhuan, not believing in bad luck, changed to another box, and this box opened her eyes even more, containing countless small tools such as small whips and small candles.

Xu Jinhuan frowned and opened another box. This time it wasn't clothes and tools, but medicine bottles. Xu Jinhuan leaned closer to try and see the name on the medicine bottles.

As a result, she saw names of medicated pills with masculine connotations, such as "Male Enhancement Pill," "Body Strengthening Pill," and "Kidney Tonifying Pill."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless. This person was really well-prepared, not wanting his enjoyment to go wrong in the slightest.

Xu Jinhuan used his long sword to search all the boxes, finding only some gold and silver jewelry in the last box. The rest were the same old things. No wonder this man had so many beautiful concubines.

Xu Jinhuan was speechless with frustration. This unboxing was really an eyesore. For someone like him, dying on the spot would probably be the best ending.

Xu Jinhuan looked at the boxes with disgust; she found them really dirty. However, despite her disdain, she still closed the boxes and put them in a corner of the space.

Just because she doesn't need them doesn't mean these things are useless.

These items appear to be from Lord Wu's collection, and must be quite valuable. If sold to brothels, they might fetch some silver!

Xu Jinhuan's mind is now focused on maximizing profits, since money is second only to military supplies and equipment when it comes to plotting a rebellion.

Just as Xu Jinhuan finished counting her spoils, someone knocked on her door.

"Boss, the interrogation is complete. Would you like to go and see for yourself?" Xie Datou's voice rang out from outside the door.

Xu Jinhuan opened the door and nodded at him, "Okay, I also want to hear what happened."

The two went into the interrogation room together and saw Ma Wencai fiddling with a piece of mulberry paper in his hand, while opposite him was Village Chief Liu, who had already wet his pants.

"Boss, this mulberry paper of yours is really useful. I haven't even done anything yet, and all the people have already confessed," Ma Wencai said with a smile.

When Village Chief Liu heard him call him "boss," he instinctively looked over. Upon seeing the long knife in Xu Jinhuan's hand, his expression changed again. He trembled and wet his pants once more.

Ma Wencai glanced at the water stains on the ground with disdain. "Honestly, if you don't have the guts to do anything bad, why do you make me clean up the house later?"

After muttering to himself, Ma Wencai kicked Village Chief Liu and said, "Alright, stop peeing and get down to business. Tell our boss everything you told us before."

Village Chief Liu opened his mouth with a grim expression, and with great effort, he managed to make a sound.
