Although the Wang family offered substantial rewards, the pirates were simply too numerous, and not all of them were tough enough to stand up for themselves.
In the end, quite a few people confessed and implicated the Wang family.
As for Wang San, after Zhou Renjun brought his family to him and told him that one of his two sons had died, he became completely enraged and revealed all the evil deeds committed by the Wang family.
It turns out that all the slaves in those black workshops were deliberately poisoned to make them mute, in order to better maintain secrecy.
Later, under Wang San's guidance, Zhou Renjun led his soldiers to dig up the skeletons of over a hundred people on a hillside in Xiangshu Mountain.
These are all sins committed by the Wang family.
Once the case was solved, it caused a sensation throughout Qiongzhou and triggered a chain reaction. Countless people who had been persecuted by the Wang family but dared not speak out went to report the case.
Only then did they learn that the Wang family not only abused slaves and secretly harbored pirates, but also held absolute power, abducting women, lending money at exorbitant interest rates, and using casinos to cheat and murder people for money.
The Wang family can be described as having committed heinous crimes that are intolerable under the law!
Under the barrage of criticism, the Wang family had no way to defend themselves and ultimately confessed.
"That's wonderful!"
Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Yun Zhourong was overjoyed, her eyes shining as she said, "The bad guys have finally gotten their comeuppance; there is still justice in this world."
"Yes, it is the good fortune of the people of Qiongzhou to have met Zhou Renjun."
Ji Minxiu also agreed, "It seems that the case is almost over. After a month of recuperation, the wounded soldiers are almost fully recovered. We should go back and reunite with your father and the others."
"Okay, it's been so long since I've seen them, I miss them too."
Yun Zhourong then added, "I wonder how Mother and the others are doing. They must be very worried about us."
"Yes, once we get back to Yazhou Ridge, we should be able to go back immediately."
Ji Minxiu took Yun Zhourong's hand and went with her to the mansion to see the wounded soldiers.
During this month, Ji Minxiu only came to keep Yun Zhourong company in the evenings and did not appear in front of the wounded soldiers on other days.
The wounded soldiers were very excited to see him again after such a long time and quickly greeted him.
"Young Master Ji, you've finally shown up! We brothers have been wanting to apologize to you in person," Yang Sen said excitedly.
"Well, I had some things to take care of before, so I didn't have time to come over. Now that you're almost recovered, I have something to tell you," Ji Minxiu said as he sat down.
Hearing this, the wounded soldiers probably knew it was time to part ways, and they all felt a little lost and confused.
Although their injuries have healed, it would be extremely difficult for them to survive in today's world with their disabled bodies.
Before, at least Yang Sen was there to help him, but I heard that Ji Minxiu has taken a liking to him and he will definitely be taken away.
From now on, I'll have to rely on myself.
However, before they could feel disappointed for long, Ji Minxiu said, "Here's what I'm thinking: I plan to take you all to Qiongzhou Prefecture. What do you think?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the wounded soldiers all widened their eyes, some unable to believe their ears.
Yang Sen excitedly confirmed, "You...you mean you're going to take all of us with you?"
Ji Minxiu nodded, "That's right. You are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield. I will be raising a lot of guards in the future, and I plan to have you as instructors to help train them. You will also be paid monthly. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Yes, yes, we're willing, but we don't need wages!"
The wounded soldiers knew, of course, that Ji Minxiu's words were just an excuse. If they really needed a coach, Yang Sen alone would be enough. He was just trying to give them a way out.
They didn't want to live that kind of life again, as if they had been abandoned by the whole world, so naturally they were willing to follow Ji Minxiu.
"No, I will pay you your wages. After all, you will have to support yourselves in the future, and I can't keep supporting you for free."
Ji Minxiu shook his head and said, "If you don't get paid, how will you live?"
"Min..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong instinctively tugged at Ji Minxiu's sleeve, her face showing disapproval.
She wasn't against giving money to the wounded soldiers; on the contrary, she felt that these wounded soldiers were already pitiful enough and could simply be cared for, so why make them work so hard?
However, Ji Minxiu seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and simply patted the back of her hand and gently shook his head.
Seeing this, Yun Zhourong knew that Ji Minxiu had his own plans. Although she didn't quite understand, she didn't say anything more.
The soldiers felt that Ji Minxiu was taking special care of them, and they gratefully assured him, "Young Master Ji is right. Don't worry, we will work hard in the future and will never let you down."
“Very good, I’ve remembered what you said.” Ji Minxiu nodded with a smile.
Thus, both sides were happy.
Soon, Ji Minxiu arranged another convoy of carriages and horses to take the wounded soldiers to Yazhou Ridge.
On the carriage, Yun Zhourong finally couldn't help but ask her question.
"As the saying goes, 'A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment.' Our initial selfless assistance might have made these wounded soldiers grateful, but human nature has its flaws."
Ji Minxiu explained, "Over time, once they develop a mentality of wanting something for nothing, they will become dissatisfied with the status quo and even take advantage of us. When we realize that things are not right and stop supporting them, it may lead to resentment."
"Could...this really be happening?"
