"I'll go ask them what these women are used for."
Fu Yuchi stood up from the ground, dusted off his hands, and said, "Since that's the case, let's start with the Feather Camp."
It would be good to cut off the emperor's left and right arms first. In any case, he couldn't rush things. He eventually embarked on this path, but from that moment on, after making this decision, he suddenly felt much more at ease, and the heavy weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.
They followed the original route back to the Jin family's house, but unexpectedly, it took them half an hour to walk there after only a short time on horseback.
A rooster crowed in the distance; dawn was approaching.
White lanterns were hung in the Jin family's courtyard. Sun Miao'er said, "Just now, the second son of the Jin family died. He died of illness before he could receive Fei Yu's medicine."
Fu Yuchi listened with great interest, walked outside the Jin family's house, and tapped the stone bricks next to him with his finger.
Hearing the commotion, the people inside came out. When Granny Jin saw Sun Miao'er standing outside unharmed, with a man beside her, she was shocked. "Why are you back?"
“Of course we’re here to collect debts,” Sun Miao’er said with a smile, no longer afraid.
I used to do everything alone, afraid of burdening my master. But now it seems that my master is unlikely to be burdened by me. At least I can handle these two things without any problem.
Ever since Jin Lao Er died, Jin Pozi looked even more haggard, probably because she had just cried and her makeup was all smudged.
Granny Jin realized that the visitors were up to no good and called out to them, "Master, come quickly!"
Old Man Jin came out upon hearing the noise, and upon seeing Sun Miao'er, he said viciously, "Little girl, you're still alive? Today I'll make you pay with your life for my son!"
After saying that, he strode forward, intending to tie up Sun Miao'er.
Before he could even get close to anyone, Fu Yuchi kicked him to the ground.
He clutched his back in pain and yelled, "Damn it! You dare kick me? Aren't you going to go out and find out who I am? I'll fight you to the death!"
After saying that, he grabbed a hoe from the corner of the wall and swung it at Fu Yuchi.
It has to be said that the Jin family members all beat people in the same way, never considering the disparity in strength, and always using whatever tool they can find as a weapon.
Not to mention that he is an old man over fifty years old and his physical strength is far inferior to Fu Yuchi's, at this time of day, even if he went to call for thugs, no one would pay attention to him.
Fu Yuchi caught the hoe that came straight at him with one hand, blocked it with his other hand, and threw Old Man Jin away heavily.
The hoe rolled to the side and stopped at Granny Jin's feet. Granny Jin was terrified and rushed forward to help her up, saying, "Husband, are you alright? This person is not easy to deal with."
Old Man Jin knew he was at a disadvantage. This guy was indeed skilled; after all, he was a martial arts expert in his youth, and he couldn't have been knocked to the ground so easily.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want!" Old Man Jin said warily. "I'm warning you, you'd better behave yourselves. If anything happens to me, you won't be able to escape either!"
Sun Miao'er snorted coldly, staring resentfully at Old Man Jin on the ground, "Run? We won't run. Do you think those guys who know a little bit of fancy footwork can be a match for my master?"
Old Man Jin knew he had messed with a tough customer, and that continuing to be forceful wouldn't work, so his tone softened considerably, "Ask whatever you want."
"Was the Song family in Fushui Village sold through your hands?" Sun Miao'er asked.
Old Man Jin stared at Sun Miao'er's face for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed, "Good! So you're that bitch's daughter! I knew you looked familiar! Hahahaha!"
"Speak up!" Sun Miao'er picked up a hoe, held it to his neck, and threatened him.
Old Man Jin was frightened and took two steps back. "Can't we talk things out properly? Why do we have to resort to these tactics? It would be bad if someone got hurt. After all, we're related by marriage!"
"Who said we're in-laws!" Sun Miao'er cursed. "All these years you've done the most heinous things. Back then, Jin Shi didn't marry into our family using any honorable means. She even drove my mother crazy and tricked her into going there. Tell me, where exactly was my mother sold to!"
Old Jin's eyes darted around as he explained, "Sun family girl, let's talk this out. Yes, yes, your mother did end up in my hands back then, but she refused to submit even at the cost of her life. Whenever I brought someone to see her, she would go crazy. Who would want a madwoman? Not only could I not sell her, but she also scared away all my customers. For a long time, no one came to see me!"
"And then what happened?" Sun Miao'er pressed.
Old Man Jin dared not lie, “Later, one time when my wife went to bring her food, she knocked my wife unconscious and ran away, and then disappeared without a trace.”
Whereabouts unknown?
Enraged, Sun Miao'er struck Old Man Jin across the face with the wooden handle of a hoe. "Fine, I've been investigating for so long, and you're telling me my mother is missing? Tell me, did you kill her?"
Old Man Jin immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "No, I really didn't kill her. She's quite pretty. If she hadn't been pretending to be crazy, she could have been sold for a good price. I always tried to talk to her nicely."
"Speak properly?" Sun Miao'er raised an eyebrow.
Old Man Jin mumbled in a low voice, "I did hit her, but I definitely didn't kill her! I didn't want to do a losing business; I was originally planning to make a fortune..."
So Song ran away on her own, and all the clues were lost.
Sun Miao'er knew that in this situation, Old Man Jin had no reason to lie to her anymore, but thinking that after investigating for so long, the result had not changed at all, she was instantly discouraged.
Fu Yuchi, who was standing to the side, spoke coldly, "What were you going to do with those women you sold to Fei Yu?"
Upon hearing Fei Yu's name, Old Man Jin was initially taken aback, but then he realized what he meant and stammered, "Him? I don't know him. He likes many women, and besides, how could he get the medicine to treat the second son's illness..."
"When did it start?"
Old Man Jin replied, "It's been many years, about eight or nine years. He came to us then, when the second son was already sick."
"Do you know where he came from, and what kind of women he's been seeing?" Fu Yuchi's eyes were sharp, making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze.
Old Man Jin thought for a moment and said, "The girls he wants all have their birth dates and must be unmarried virgins. I guess they're just girls that wealthy families like, and they're just selling them off..."
What kind of birth date?
"Preferably a girl born on the first or fifteenth of the lunar month..." Old Man Jin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Fu Yuchi. The man standing in front of him was like a wall, making it hard for him to breathe.
Fu Yuchi still found it strange, "What illness does your son have?"
The Jin couple both shook their heads. "We don't know. That year, I first had a cough, then my face was covered in sores and ulcers, and then I was bedridden. We consulted many doctors, but none of them could figure out what was wrong... But every time I took the medicine that person gave me, I would feel better for a while."
"Take me inside and let me see."
