This Master Yang really didn't care about the life or death of his family. Xingxing and Zhang Xiantao waited at the Yang residence for a whole day, and it was already dark, but the servants of the Yang residence still hadn't brought Master Yang back.
In the afternoon, Zhu Lin and Zhu Qiuyu got tired of staying on the rooftop, so they came down and ate and drank with Xingxing and the others at the Yang residence. Speaking of which, the masters of the Yang residence really lived a good life. The kitchen had all kinds of delicious food, whether it was fruit, pastries or meat, they could eat whatever they wanted.
Alright, there's no rush for everyone to leave. Let's just stay at the Yang residence for the night. Zhang Xiantao instructed Xiao Huan and Xiao Yuan to go to the kitchen to cook. The two girls agreed and then turned to get busy.
Just then, a guard came to remind them that Master Yang had returned, followed by a large group of people. The servants who had gone out to look for him had also returned with him, making them look quite formidable.
Before long, a burly man with a fierce face entered the inner courtyard. He was around fifty years old, dressed in brocade clothes, with various jade pendants and sachets around his waist, and looked very wealthy.
He clearly knew that there were troublemakers in his house. In addition to the servants, he had also found other helpers. These helpers all held knives, had unfriendly faces, and exuded a strong murderous intent.
“These people are all skilled fighters, and they have a bandit-like air about them. I think this Master Yang probably has a close relationship with the mountain bandits,” Zhu Qiuyu said to the boy in a low voice.
Zhu Lin nodded slightly in agreement, then said coldly, "It's good to take care of them all at once."
However, when the fight broke out, neither he nor Zhu Qiuyu immediately took action. Instead, they let Zhang Xiantao and the others fight the other side first. If they couldn't win, they would then help.
Xingxing was protected behind Zhu Lin, and Qingyan and Qingluo stepped forward to help. Zhang Xiantao's two maids were still cooking in the kitchen. She only had one bodyguard left, along with Zhao Mingyue, Da Zhuang, and Zhuang Ze. Including Qingyan and Qingluo, there were seven people in total. Master Yang's side had more than thirty people.
Zhang Xiantao and his six companions struggled to cope, but they were all quite skilled. The servants of the Yang family were completely ignorant of martial arts and were easily dealt with. Only the dozen or so burly men who looked like bandits were more difficult to handle, but it only took a little more effort, and they eventually won.
Zhang Xiantao's arm was slashed and bleeding. She was pale and baring her teeth. Zhao Mingyue knew medicine, so she quickly took out a small bottle from her bosom, pulled Zhang Xiantao to sit down, and rolled up her sleeve to apply medicine to her arm.
Seeing that his henchmen had all been taken down, Master Yang turned to run away, but Qingluo grabbed him by the collar and dragged him directly in front of Zhu Lin and the others.
"Chen Tu is your nephew?" The young man stepped on the other man's chest, seemingly without using any force, but Master Yang felt as if his sternum was about to shatter.
"Yes, yes." Master Yang valued his life and dared not lie, so he admitted it directly.
"Tell the truth about where Chen Tu and his family are now." Zhu Lin coldly lowered his eyes, his aura extremely intimidating.
After stammering for a moment, Yang Erye felt a dull pain in his chest and quickly spoke up, "I said, Chen Tu came to see me two years ago, but I drove him away, drove him out of Changping City, and I really don't know where he went after that."
"Whether you genuinely don't know or simply don't want to say, if you're tired of living, I can help you send you on your way." The young man looked impatient, and the force of his foot suddenly increased, causing Master Yang to spit out three liters of blood on the spot.
"Will you tell me or not?"
"Pfft, tell me, I'll tell you," Master Yang spat out another mouthful of blood, no longer daring to hide it, "I was afraid that my nephew would come looking for me again, so to prevent future troubles, I sent people to try to get rid of his whole family. But Chen Tu was quick-witted, and the people I sent only injured him. His two servants took him and his son and escaped."
“Chen Tu and his son have both escaped, so you’ve captured his daughter.” Zhu Lin said with certainty.
Master Yang spoke vaguely, trying to bluff his way out, but the young man was so perceptive that he immediately noticed the flaw in his words. However, he couldn't tell the truth: "That little girl is dead."
"What did you say? My Xin'er is dead? Did you have someone kill her? You beast! You're her great-uncle! My daughter was so young, how could you do this to her?" Bai Yushuang stepped forward and started tearing at Yang Erye, her hands tearing his face to shreds.
Zhu Lin, unwilling to get involved, stepped back a few paces.
"Ah, you crazy woman, ugly monster, get out of here, don't come any closer!" Master Yang tried desperately to push Bai Yushuang away with both hands.
Bai Yushuang was, after all, a woman. No matter how fiercely she fought, the difference in strength between men and women was too great. When Master Yang pushed her, she was thrown backward, her lower back slamming heavily against the corner of the table. She groaned in pain, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Bai Yue'e, holding the child in her arms, rushed over and supported her with one hand.
At the princess's signal, Qingluo punched Master Yang on the back, knocking him to his knees, and then stepped on his back.
"I saw his eyes darting around; he's definitely not telling the truth. Beat him until he tells the truth," Xingxing ordered angrily.
The princess spoke, and Qingluo unleashed a brutal beating on Master Yang, using all her strength, but she missed his vital points. So Master Yang was beaten half to death, but not quite dead.
"Will you tell me or not?" Qingluo paused slightly, then asked in a stiff tone.
“…Tell me, tell me,” Master Yang said weakly, his voice barely audible, “that little girl was… was sold to a brothel.”
"Ah, you heartless beast! You ruined my daughter! I'm going to kill you!" Bai Yushuang broke down and rushed forward to bite Yang Erye's ear.
No one could pull them apart, but she managed to bite off the other person's ear.
"Pah!" Bai Yushuang spat out what was in her mouth and was about to rush forward to bite again, but Qingyan stopped her in time.
"Ah, you crazy woman, you ugly lunatic!" Master Yang cried and shouted, horrified.
Zhu Lin, annoyed by the noise, chopped Yang Erye unconscious with a single chop to the neck.
"My daughter, I'm so sorry! Why didn't I come looking for you sooner? You've ended up in such a state!" Bai Yushuang pounded her chest and cried out in anguish.
Bai Yue'e, holding the child, cried bitterly beside her, "Miss, why is your life so miserable?"
"Waaaaah, it's so tragic, Ruru's sister is so pitiful." Xingxing joined in the crying and singing.
Zhu Lin: "?" What did Xingxing learn from these people?
"Alright, now is not the time to cry. The most urgent thing is to find them as soon as possible. We need to keep this guy surnamed Yang around for questioning. We'll ask him carefully when he wakes up. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of Master Chen and his son." Zhu Lin couldn't stand Xingxing's parroting manner, it was too unbearable, so she quickly reminded everyone what to do next.
Bai Yushuang's crying suddenly stopped. "Yes, we must find Xin'er. My Xin'er, but which brothel has she been sold to?"
Zhu Lin: "?" You'll have to ask Master Yang for that.
So the boy took out a silver needle and, with somewhat clumsy skill, pricked it into Master Yang's philtrum. Master Yang jolted awake in pain.
Upon seeing the group of people before him, he was momentarily stunned, but quickly wished he could faint again; he truly didn't want to face these people.
