Soon, the constables were scattered and disorganized.
Xing Ge wasn't angry; this outcome was expected. However, since they had all sustained injuries to varying degrees, it would be easier to report back to their superiors. At the very least, they could say that they had fought desperately, but were ultimately outnumbered.
"Brothers, let's retreat!"
The constables rushed forward, clearing a path. Only Zhang Wu glanced back before being forcibly dragged away by Xing Ge.
This is just too ridiculous...
The women of the Sima family are the most panicked right now. These thieves are obviously after them. Although the constables aren't good people either, at least they give them a piece of cake to eat every day and take them to the southern border. But these men in black want their lives!
The leader of the men in black looked around. These people around him were really not a threat, but it would be good if he could take the opportunity to steal some food.
They were bandits from the mountains, but they also took on assassin jobs, since the economy was bad these days and they needed to find new sources of income.
"Are you the women of the Sima family?" the leader of the men in black asked sternly.
"I am the old lady of the Sima family. I wonder if you could let this old woman die knowing why. Who is it that wants to kill us women?" The old lady's voice was calm and unhurried, without the slightest fear.
This inspired a sense of admiration in everyone present.
The leader of the men in black pondered for a moment, then said, "Very well, actually I don't know who it is. It was a noble master from the capital who sent me a message saying that you must all die, especially the sixth young lady of the Sima family!"
"Old Madam, could it be Princess Linglong?" Madam Sun blurted out. That Princess Linglong was simply a ruthless and twisted person. She wanted to take the life of her sixth son because of a man!
"Very well! If that's the case, then it's fate. Little Six, don't cry, it's not your fault. Grandmother doesn't blame you!"
The girl, known as Xiao Liu, raised her head and timidly called out "Grandmother." Large tears streamed down her porcelain-white face. She was truly stunning; even her tears were pitiful to behold.
"Sir, that woman is truly stunning. Why don't we capture her and play with her for a while? Even if a nobleman wants her body, we can kill her later!" a lewd voice said.
Even through the cloth, Qin San Niang could imagine how repulsive this person's appearance was.
The other men in black were also somewhat tempted, after all, these women were all noble ladies, people they had never even dared to dream of before. Upon closer inspection, they found that each one was more beautiful than the last, even the two older ones looked like middle-aged women with graceful figures.
"Alright, get to work! Let's get them to the mountain first!"
Ran Niang's heart sank. She knew that these thieves had ulterior motives. As the mistress of a noble household, she could not possibly suffer such humiliation.
"Sun, take the young man and run away. Head south to my mother's home in Jiangzhou. The Sima family's bloodline depends on you. Thank you, Mother!" This was clearly something they had agreed on beforehand. At this moment, Ran Niang only whispered a few words to Sun.
The latter's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, but he still reached out and hugged Xiao Lang, pondering where they should break out.
Clearly, they had prevented Madam Sun from intervening to protect her and her grandson. They just hadn't expected those bailiffs to be so incompetent.
The old lady and the others decided to buy time for Xiao Sunshi. They all silently stepped forward and stood in front of the man in black, ready to fight to the death. Even if they died, they would not suffer humiliation. This was the demeanor of women from a respectable family.
Qin San Niang really couldn't stand it anymore. These young ladies from noble families, they're such a hassle when they fight!
"Brothers, did you ask for my permission before you started fighting on my turf? Besides, this family owes me money. I sold them a whole sack of grain; how could a mere broken jade pendant possibly cover it all?!"
Looking at Qin San Niang standing in front of people, although she couldn't compare to those noble ladies, she was still quite good-looking, much prettier than those skinny refugee women.
"What, you want to come back with me and enjoy yourself too? Then come along, so we can go after your money together!" The lewd man in black chuckled.
"That depends on whether you're lucky enough to have that kind of luck."
Qin San Niang smiled slightly and stepped forward.
This woman didn't have much martial arts skill. The Marquis's family was mostly composed of military officers, which the old lady and others could tell.
“Madam, you can go to the Meili Wang family in Jiangzhou City to collect the money owed to you. Just say that it is the eldest daughter-in-law of hers who owes you, and you can use that jade pendant as a token.”
Ran Niang didn't want to burden outsiders any further; she considered it an act of good karma for her sons. She never imagined that her lifelong devotion to Buddhism and the reverence for the Buddha would end in such a state.
"That won't do. I always make sure that the wronged party is held accountable. What if your family doesn't take responsibility?"
Qin San Niang said rather playfully, and Ran Niang became a little anxious, thinking to herself, "Is this woman stupid? At this point, why doesn't she hurry up and escape?"
The old lady, however, realized that Qin San Niang wanted to help them, but...
"Master, this woman's asking for trouble! Let me teach her a lesson, I'll make her cry for her parents!"
This woman is deliberately causing trouble! Although she doesn't possess strong internal energy, it's rare to see someone dare to provoke them like this; she's definitely not simple! The leader of the men in black was getting anxious, fearing further complications. He knew perfectly well that if a nobleman in the capital were to become angry, not only could they be wiped out, but the entire mountain could be wiped out! He couldn't help but angrily rebuke them.
"Since you insist on getting involved, why don't you just go with them! Brothers, let's go!"
As they spoke, all the men in black rushed forward.
"That's really inconsiderate!"
Qin San Niang's heart skipped a beat, and a dark bullet appeared in her hand. She casually tossed it to the men in black.
Puffs of white smoke rose up, and the smoke grew thicker and thicker.
Even though the man in black knew it was poison, it was too late when he covered his mouth and nose. He could only feel tears and snot streaming down his face, and he could hardly open his eyes or even breathe.
Qin San Niang used tear gas, but covering her mouth and nose with it didn't help much.
The Sun family and their entourage were dumbfounded.
The Liu family was alright, as they already knew about the divine intervention.
Look at this smoke! It's just like the swirling clouds in a fairyland. "The immortals must have come again," Liu muttered, a smug look on her face.
When Wu Chunhua and Pangya saw Liu's appearance, they guessed that this must be a skill that Qin Sanniang originally knew. She was really amazing!
As for Gu Qingshan, there's nothing to think about; Madam Qin is incredibly capable!
However, this reversal stunned the old lady and her entourage.
What kind of person is this woman?
Although they had long suspected that this woman was no ordinary person, they never expected that they would actually encounter a reclusive master! It must be the Buddha manifesting his power.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Upon hearing Qin San Niang's call, the crowd didn't have time to think and quickly and orderly evacuated from the dilapidated temple.
The man in black didn't care about anything else; he didn't even know if his eyes could be saved.
"Boss, what kind of witch is this? What do we do?"
The leader of the men in black was filled with regret. He should have secretly killed all the women of the Sima family earlier! He thought those constables were the biggest obstacle, but he hadn't expected to run into such a tough opponent!
They could no longer distinguish east from west, and even if they wanted to escape, it would be impossible.
Not knowing how long the tear gas would last, in order to eliminate any future trouble, Qin San Niang gritted her teeth and dealt with the leader of the men in black and that lewd man.
In the blink of an eye, the crossbow was aimed and struck straight at his left heart!
