"Fire! Fire!"
Cries for help were soon heard in Jinsha Village, and many people ran out of their houses.
The bandits reacted quickly, and someone immediately started to organize everyone to put out the fire, but the fire spread very quickly, and the raging fire soon completely surrounded the entire Jinsha Village.
Jiang Jiuyue stood on the observation deck and looked out. The fire was getting more and more intense, and several houses had been completely burned down.
The water that the water bandits poured on the fire was like a drop in the bucket compared to the raging flames. As bucket after bucket of water was poured on it, the raging fire not only showed no signs of going out, but it became even more intense.
Thick smoke from the raging fire rose up, and the fire-fighting bandits could not stand the choking. One of the bandits wiped his face and said, "Brothers! Let's retreat first! Hide in the back mountain! We can still rebuild the house if it's destroyed. Anyway, the gold and silver in the warehouse can't be burned! We'll come back after the fire is out!"
Seeing that there was no way to extinguish the fire, the bandits had no choice but to grit their teeth, give up on putting out the fire, and run towards the back mountain.
The situation was critical, the pirates left the fire scene empty-handed without taking anything.
Jiang Jiuyue on the lookout watched them run away, and controlled his supernatural powers to extinguish the fire in the central area, leaving only the fire on the outer wall to block the pirates.
Jiang Jiuyue jumped off the lookout tower and headed straight for the warehouse location that he had gotten from the captured pirates.
The warehouse of Jinsha Village was not so well defended as Longhu Village, with only a big lock on the door.
Jiang Jiuyue easily pulled off the padlock, which was no different from a piece of rag to her, and swaggered into the warehouse.
After looking around at the things in the warehouse, Jiang Jiuyue couldn't help but affirm in his heart that Jinsha Village is indeed one of the largest villages, and its financial resources are richer than Longhu Village.
The storehouse in Jinsha Village was much larger than that in Longhu Village. It was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, and even several boxes full of gold bars. Any one of them could be used to buy the small courtyard that Jiang Jiuyue had rented before.
Jiang Jiuyue was not polite at all. She accepted everything in the warehouse and stuffed everything into the space without leaving anything. She also packed a bag to fool the boatmen on the ship.
After completely looting everything, the warehouse was now so empty that even mice would cry when they saw it. Jiang Manyue put on her small bag with satisfaction and turned around to leave Jinsha Village.
늀When she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a woman's voice calling from a house in the distance.
"Help! There's a fire! Let us out!"
Are there still women in Jinsha Village?
Jiang Jiuyue changed his mind and turned to the direction of the call.
After walking for a while, Jiang Jiuyue stopped in front of a small courtyard with a big lock on it. The cry for help came from here.
This courtyard is relatively close to the outer wall, so the fire also affected this place. The woman inside was probably afraid of being burned to death, so she called for help.
Jiang Jiuyue jumped directly onto the courtyard wall and found that every room in the courtyard was locked and the windows were sealed, leaving only a small gap for ventilation.
Seeing how the people in the courtyard were treated, Jiang Jiuyue confirmed his guess.
These women were probably kidnapped by the pirates from Jinsha Village, and they were not from this village.
Jiang Jiuyue jumped into the yard and broke the locks on all the doors.
The padlock fell to the ground, and Jiang Jiuyue used a whip to open the doors one by one.
The door was opened and eight women quickly ran out, but they just ran out and looked vigilantly at Jiang Jiuyue who was standing in the yard.
"Who are you? Were you also kidnapped by them?"
Jiang Jiuyue shook her head. "I kidnapped Jin Weihu. I came to the warehouse to get the money. I heard you guys shouting for help, so I came to help you."
When they heard Jiang Jiuyue say that she had tied up Jin Weihu, the women all looked incredulous.
Jin Weihu is the boss of Jinsha Village. With so many friends around him, how could he be kidnapped by a woman?
"Believe it or not, there is no one in Jinsha Village now. If you want to leave, you can leave quickly, or you can wait here for the government to rescue you."
Jiang Jiuyue turned and left after she finished speaking. She had no intention of taking these women back with her. Anyway, she would not let go of the bandits who had hidden in the mountains, so it would be safe for these women to stay here.
The women in the yard looked at each other in surprise and watched Jiang Jiuyue walk away.
Jiang Jiuyue went up the mountain behind and soon found the bandits hiding in the mountain.
Someone spotted her and yelled, "Who is it?!"
Jiang Jiuyue was too lazy to pay attention to him and didn't even bother to hide his special ability. He raised his hand and set the man on fire.
His shouting soon attracted other bandits. Jiang Jiuyue looked at them mercilessly and used his supernatural powers to turn the mountain behind into a sea of fire again.
The pirates rolled desperately on the ground, trying to put out the fire on their bodies, but it was of no use. They could do nothing but wailing in pain.
After doing all this, Jiang Jiuyue left the back mountain directly. She was sure that none of these bandits would come back alive. She completely cut off any possible revenge that Jinsha Village and Longhu Village might take against her in the future.
Coming down from the back mountain, Jiang Jiuyue went around in the woods, picked up Awang, and brought him back to the boat.
Jiang Jiuyue threw Awang into the group of pirates and also threw the bundle of gold bars into the cabin.
Seeing that she was already saved, Jiang Hua wanted to start the boat with his brothers, but a woman's cry for help was heard at the dock.
"Benefactor! Please take us for a ride! We don't want to stay in this water fort anymore!"
The people calling for help were the women who had just been rescued from the courtyard by Jiang Jiuyue. Without any hesitation, they ran to the dock and wanted to board the ship to leave Jinsha Village.
Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Jiuyue, "Boss, do you want to take them away?"
Jiang Jiuyue looked around and found a small boat parked at the dock.
"Go and connect the boat to ours, and let them stay on the boat so they don't disturb us."
Although these women were kidnapped by pirates and should not be bad people, Jiang Jiuyue was still wary of them and only agreed to let them get on the small boat and follow him.
As long as they could leave, these women didn't care about whether the boat was big or small. When Jiang Hua and the others connected the two boats and let them get on the small boat, they quickly waved to thank Jiang Jiuyue.
"Benefactor! Thank you for saving us!"
Jiang Jiuyue nodded to them and then walked into the cabin.
The women boarded the small boat, and Jiang Hua and others returned to the big ship, and they weighed anchor and set off.
Two days after leaving the waters of Jinshazhai, they returned to the county dock.
When the ship docked, Jiang Jiuyue directly asked Jiang Hua to go to the county government office to find Zhao Kun and ask him to bring people to quickly take away the bandits in the cabin.
Jiang Hua went there in a hurry, and when he came back, he was followed by a dozen yamen runners.
Zhao Kun, wearing the uniform of a constable, walked at the front with a ruddy face.
When he came to the front, Jiang Jiuyue looked at him and asked, "Are you now a police chief?"
Zhao Kun smiled happily, "Thanks to you, Master, I was appointed just the day before yesterday."
Jiang Jiuyue nodded and pointed to the cabin. "The people are inside. Go and bring them here."
Zhao Kun immediately led his men into the cabin, and in front of many boat people and dock workers, he took all the pirates led by Jin Weihu on board.
"Tell the county magistrate that there's no need to bother suppressing the bandits. I've burned down Jinsha Village, and all the survivors are here."
