Chapter 57: A Night of Terror
"I haven't stretched my muscles in a while. It's a good opportunity to practice with you!"
Qin Xiangnuan rubbed her ankles and wrists. When the strong man pounced on her, she supported herself on the bed and flew sideways. She kicked the strong man's neck with the butt of her foot and kicked him into the corner with just one kick.
No one expected that the little girl would have such strength. The other servants who fell behind looked at each other and were thinking of backing out, but since things had come to this point, they were too embarrassed to retreat and could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
"I don't believe it. How much strength can a girl have?"
"Hold her hands and feet! I don't believe she can grow wings and fly!"
The man who was kicked to the ground touched his face covered in blood from his nose and gave orders in a frustrated tone.
Because of his roar, the others rallied, which did cause some trouble for Qin Xiangnuan. Her hands and feet were held by several people, making it impossible for her to exert any strength. The servant who served as the leader approached with a wicked smile, patted her face with his hand, and said excitedly, "Can you still move now?"
"sure."
Qin Xiangnuan gave him a bright smile, opened her small white teeth, and bit down hard on his palm.
This bite directly tore off a piece of his flesh.
Qin Xiangnuan spat the blood clot in her mouth onto the ground. The group of people looked at her as if they saw a devil and wanted to run out in a panic. "Whoever is willing to do this job can do it! I don't want to do it! I don't want to lose my life here!" They rushed to escape, but when they hit the door, everyone was crowded together, which was convenient and no one could run away.
"You guys are a little too noisy."
Qin Xiangnuan pinched her ears, took out a hemp rope from her bag, tied up several people, and threw them into the corner.
"Lady! Young lady, we are also entrusted by others. Please be merciful and let us go."
The sturdy man was beaten black and blue, and even had two teeth knocked out. Despite his leaky teeth, he managed a flattering smile, "We still have some money on us, so feel free to take it! Just pretend nothing happened tonight, okay?"
If this gets out, will their reputations be ruined?
This will ruin your job and you will never have a good life in the future!
Several people were making plans in their minds, but Qin Xiangnuan would never agree. She just sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands casually placed on her knees, regulating her breathing and waiting for dawn. She lazily raised one eye and replied calmly, "There's still a good show waiting for you to sing together at dawn. Why do you always have to leave? Shut up, I don't like noise! One more word and I'll seal your mouths with embroidery needles."
"No more! No more!"
The strong men quickly fell silent. They knew that Qin Xiangnuan was a man of her words and it was best not to provoke her.
Late at night, the county magistrate was in his bedroom, with his beautiful wife waiting on him. They pricked up their ears to listen to the noises coming from the backyard. When they heard the screams of the strong men, the county magistrate couldn't help but frown. Holding the beautiful woman in his arms, his blood began to surge with excitement. "I didn't expect them to be so extravagant. It's best not to harm the women of the general's mansion, otherwise it will be difficult to send those officials away tomorrow. After all, they have to give them some silver..."
"Sir, I still feel this matter is a little unreliable."
The beautiful lady pinched the county magistrate's shoulders and said worriedly, "The Seventh Prince only sent a letter, but if anyone is killed, I'm afraid we will still be held responsible. If the women in the general's mansion report us to the higher authorities, we will be in big trouble!"
"Report? Such a shameful thing, you wait until tomorrow morning. I'll take people over there. As long as we see them in disheveled clothes, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they won't dare to make a fuss. If this really gets to the government office, I'm afraid everyone outside will spit on them enough to drown them. They've lost their virginity, and it's too late to hide, how dare they report it?"
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes, turned over and pressed the beautiful woman under him.
Although the beautiful concubine didn't like the county magistrate's sarcastic remarks about women, she could only smile and keep him company since they were under his roof.
This night was extremely long.
After the county magistrate got up and cleaned up, he went to the next room to wake up Xu Jian. Xu Jian felt a splitting headache and was still struggling to recover. He was still a little shaky. "I don't even know when I came back last night. Thank you, county magistrate." Xu Jian clasped his hands together, not noticing anything unusual, thinking he was just drunk. But the skinny monkey followed behind, rubbing his sleepy eyes and saying, "This shouldn't be the case."
"In the capital, we drink Shaodaozi from jars, so a few glasses of wine won't make you fall asleep."
Skinny Monkey's words aroused Xu Jian's suspicion. He looked towards the backyard and had a bad feeling in his heart. "Sir, since it's daybreak, why don't you take us to see the people in the General's Mansion?" The County Magistrate nodded and did not stop him. Instead, he stood by Xu Jian's side to guide him, saying, "Brothers, you've been traveling all the way. It would be best if you could rest for a few days here with me."
"Since you are the Seventh Prince's people, I will definitely provide you with good food and drink and will not make you feel uncomfortable. This is a tough job, who said it can fall on your heads? Let's turn a blind eye, and many things will just pass!" The county magistrate said as if to give a vaccination. Xu Jian's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace. From a distance, he saw the door of the women's room being knocked open. Ah
Was this door actually open all night?
Xu Jian turned around and glared at the county magistrate, "Is this what the adults mean by taking care of me?"
"Oh, what's going on? I don't know. Maybe the servants forgot. What if a thief sneaks in in the middle of the night!" The county magistrate had a gleaming smile on his face, and he greeted the people around him with a gloating look, "You, go and untie the chain next door, and ask someone to go in and see if something happened? There are only women in here. What if the bastard in the mansion gets drunk and breaks in and does something bad?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jian immediately understood the purpose of the dinner last night that could be called a Hongmen Banquet.
The skinny monkey slapped his forehead fiercely and rushed in anxiously, "You dare!"
"What are you talking about, sir? I simply don't understand." The county magistrate followed behind, gloating. When Qin Yi and Qin Wen burst out from the next room, everyone rushed into the women's courtyard and stared at the scene inside in amazement. The county magistrate waited outside, observing the expressions of the crowd. He simply thought his plan had succeeded, clapping his hands and saying, "Alas! This magistrate's handling of the matter was truly inadequate. I allowed the women of this mansion to suffer such a crime..."
