"Gee-gee-gee-gee"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Su family members in the inn noticed something was wrong. They all turned pale, dropped their bags and vomited.
"Gee-gee-gee-gee"
The inn was immediately filled with a foul stench. Even though the Su family had vomited yellow bile, they still felt nauseous. They all sat on the floor covered with dirt, exhausted.
"Bang--"
Su Chengzhi was so angry that he slammed the table and jumped up, shaking his skinny body that weighed only 190 pounds.
"Okay! You are simply a shady shop! You actually sold human flesh to us as beef!"
"Pay! Today you must pay us fifty taels of silver each, or we will report you to the police!"
The shopkeeper, a burly man who looked twice as strong as Su Chengzhi, picked up a thick wooden stick and hit him hard upon hearing what he said.
"Bang--"
The table in front of Su Chengzhi was suddenly split in half, and the flying sawdust covered his head and face.
The several sturdy waiters behind him seemed to have received an order. They raised wooden sticks and surrounded the Su family, blocking all their retreat routes in an instant.
"Humph! I've been robbing around here for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen someone come to my house to defraud!"
"To tell you the truth, all the officials around here have to listen to our big brother! If you want to report it to the authorities, go ahead and see who will be the one to bear the brunt of the consequences!"
These people all had frowns, bulging eyes, and strong muscles. Su Chengzhi was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell down in the filth.
Everyone in the Su family was trembling with fear, and dared not make a sound even though they were dissatisfied.
Su Bingsheng was the first to react. He immediately took out a silver ingot and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying with a smile:
"Hehe... Great hero, calm down. I was just a little kid and bumped into you."
"It is a blessing for us to have a meal here! Now we have almost finished eating, so we will pay for the meal and leave. We will not disturb your business anymore!"
"snort!"
The shopkeeper looked down upon him and didn't even bother to look at Su Bingsheng.
He weighed the silver ingot, then nodded with satisfaction and asked the tough waiters guarding the gate to let the idiots out.
The Su family members finally breathed a sigh of relief and tried to escape out the door one by one.
Su Chengzhi, however, could not bear to be wronged. Before leaving, he did not forget to spit viciously at her and muttered in a low voice:
"Bah! How unlucky! My dad's money is just wasted!"
"Hey - Zhier, say something!"
Aunt Shen had never expected that her eldest son would dare to scold others even before he had escaped from the thieves' den. She was so frightened that she hurriedly tried to cover his mouth.
But it was too late.
"Bang--"
The heavy wooden door of the inn was suddenly closed.
The concubine who was running in the front was unable to stop in time and got a big bump on her forehead.
"How dare this brat insult us! Come on, brothers! Beat him up!"
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"
"Ah - help... help! Assholes! How dare you hit me! Do you know who my father is?! Ahhhh! Hurry... stop it right now! Hero... Hero, spare my life! I know I was wrong!"
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"
I don't know what's wrong with Su Chengzhi's mouth, every word he says is so aggressive. The louder he yells, the harder these big men beat him.
"Great hero! Great hero, spare my life! My son is young and ignorant, please forgive him this time!"
"Hero, stop fighting! I still have money on me, I'll give it to you, just let my son go!"
Aunt Shen and Su Bingsheng rushed to rescue Su Chengzhi, but they were also pinned down and beaten up.
The rest of the Su family were frightened to death, and they all moved to the side, step by step, trying to quickly distance themselves from them so as not to be implicated by them.
There were even a few concubines who were dissatisfied with Aunt Shen and covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
But these people didn't remain happy for long, as these burly men soon vented their anger.
The shopkeeper looked at the three members of the Su family who were covered in sweat, and his eyes stayed on Aunt Shen's rotten face for a second, and he said disdainfully:
"Go up and search them! Take away all the valuables on them, and then throw them out."
Several burly men immediately surrounded the Su family with green eyes and began to search them.
These people were much more vicious than the officials who had previously confiscated property in the capital. All the men and women in the Su family were raped by them.
Not only were several beautiful concubines taken advantage of, but all the belongings hidden by the Su family were taken away, leaving them with nothing.
Not long after, the people in the exile team saw that the Su family, who were still arrogant two quarters of an hour ago, were thrown out of the inn like garbage in the blink of an eye.
It vividly explains how to achieve the perfect transformation from 'having two coins' to 'being penniless' in just two quarters of an hour.
The Xiao family members in the donkey cart were also shocked when they heard the faint sound coming from the inn.
Fortunately, they had just eaten quickly and were quite far from the inn. Otherwise, it would have been easy for the Su family to spoil their appetite.
Zhang Qinxue even more directly and quickly covered Xiao Qingya's ears with both hands, fearing that the Su family's screams like slaughtering pigs outside would affect the little girl.
Su Qingning also felt a chill and immediately asked Xiao Ai:
[No way, did they really eat human flesh just now?! ]
Xiao Ai's voice was also filled with disgust:
[Sister Su! That thing is human flesh! Because the cost of selling human flesh is much lower than beef! Beef still needs to be bought from nearby villages, but if you want to sell human flesh, you can just buy it from the nearby mass graves! ]
[They have been selling human flesh as beef for many years. It was only today that the Su family discovered it because the kitchen did not handle it properly.]
Su Qingning: !!!
As expected, there have always been masters among the people since ancient times! This slutty action shocked your sister Su for a whole year.
[These people are so arrogant, it seems like they have someone protecting them. Who is their big brother? ]
When Xiao Ai heard this, she became even angrier. It sounded like she wanted to jump out of the screen and punch those people:
[Ahhh! There is a local tyrant in this area! All those burly men are the local tyrant's lackeys. In fact, they are all death row prisoners who escaped from prison. They became bandits here and gradually became local tyrants that no one dared to mess with.]
[These people gather here, they are lawless and do all kinds of bad things! Bullying men and women, robbing and stealing are only the lowest level, they have done so many perverted things. ]
Su Qingning was horrified and agreed:
[I see. After all, they are exchanging human flesh for beef. I don’t expect these people to have much conscience.]
Su Qingning suddenly remembered that these people were indeed mentioned in the original book.
However, there was no great chaos at that time, and these bandits were not so rampant, and they did not cause any trouble to the exiles passing by, so they were not described in detail in the book.
She raised her head and looked carefully, and saw that there was indeed a simple wooden village on the mountain not far away.
I felt strange in my heart. These murderous criminals were killing and looting everywhere. Shouldn't they live in a very arrogant place?
Unexpectedly...the place where these people live is not as luxurious as the temple on the other hilltop.
What's going on? All the money earned by these people from burning, killing, looting, and licking blood was donated to the temples to buy merit? !
Su Qingning felt that the world was becoming more and more magical.
But she didn't have the heart to ask about other people's gossip. After finishing their meal, everyone started to clean up.
Soon, the exiles were on their way again.
While the Xiao family was filled with laughter and joy, the Su family was in great misery.
The Su family had just had a mess and gained nothing. They were starving, but they still had to continue to follow the exile team.
Aunt Shen and the other two were beaten so badly that their bodies seemed to be falling apart, and they looked hopeless.
Previously, they still had the energy to laugh at the Xiao family and Su Qingning, but now they don't have the energy to say a word.
The scorching sun was like a furnace, making everyone in the exile team feel dizzy. Even Su Qingning, who had a car and air conditioning, felt a little sleepy.
Leaning on Xiao Huaishuo's shoulder, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
Xiao Huaishuo, who was hurrying in the car, was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
"Go sleep in the carriage. It's more comfortable inside. If you feel it's too cramped and you can't stretch out, let Fourth Brother come out and sit with me while you lie down and sleep."
Su Qingning shook her head in a daze, and consciously put her hands around someone's waist, which had no fat at all, enjoying the rare tranquility at the moment.
But at this moment, suddenly a hundred men and horses rushed in from the nearby hillside and surrounded the huge exile team in an instant.
As soon as the leader came up, he pointed at Su Chengzhi who was at the end of the team and shouted:
"Humph! You insulted our mighty general and you still want to run away?! Insulting our mighty general is equivalent to insulting our Xinghua Village... No, Xinghua Country!"
"Your Majesty! That stinky kid just called the mighty general a dog!!!"
The mighty general?!
emperor?!
Su Qingning no longer felt sleepy when she heard these two names and sat up immediately.
Then I saw the innkeeper from before, now the 'mighty general', wearing a red cloth and holding a hoe, standing in front of me majestically.
The knockoff 'Emperor' next to him was wearing a piece of shit-yellow cloth, sitting cross-legged on an 'imperial sedan' made of a stretcher. On his left and right stood two women in plain clothes holding banana leaves as 'ceremonial staffs'.
And the one hundred or so so-called "soldiers" were dressed in even more bizarre ways.
Some used turtle shells as armor, some used iron pots as helmets, some used clothes drying poles as swords, and some used washboards as shields!!!
Su Qingning: !!!!!!!!!!!!
Good guy! When she heard Xiao Ai say this before, she thought "local emperor" was just an adjective, but she didn't expect it to be a noun!
For example, during today's chaos, this mountain bandit leader has caught up with the fashion and crowned himself an emperor!
She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt Xiao Huaishuo pulling her hand away. She was protected by him behind her.
The local tyrant angrily patted the crude version of the "Imperial Sedan" and shouted:
"How despicable! Yulin Guards! Go and drag that little bastard out! These fugitives who were traveling with him are also unforgivable! It just so happens that we are going to repair the imperial mausoleum soon, so take all these people to the mausoleum to do hard labor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred or so shabby pirated "Yulin Guards" rushed towards the exile team with hoes, vegetables and washboards.
"How dare you! How dare you sit in front of my emperor?"
When one of the Yulin Guards saw that Su Qingning and the others were still sitting, he immediately shouted angrily. He picked up a handful of food and threw it towards Su Qingning's face!
