Chapter 376: Restoring Purity to the World
Under the hat, a pale and bloodless little face was revealed, looking as if he had been seriously ill, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like the magnificent and dazzling stars in the night sky.
The tall and handsome man beside her, who was as handsome as a god, carefully supported her, highlighting her noble status.
"My Lord, My Lady!" The soldiers around him saluted respectfully.
Only then did the women know her identity.
He is the master of these soldiers.
He is also the one who saved them from danger.
Sang Ning looked at these women. They were all young, none of them over twenty, but their eyes were full of vicissitudes as if they had lived half a lifetime.
Apart from the more than one hundred who were killed, there were more than two hundred left.
There are also hundreds of people who have died in recent years.
The Buddhist temple, which is supposed to be a place of compassion and relief for the suffering, hides such horrific crimes.
This is the consequence of power and indulgence.
There is definitely not just one Mingshui Temple in the entire Dongyang.
"Remember, you are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are your parents and this evil Buddhist temple." Sang Ning was exhausted and afraid that these women would get stuck in a dead end, so he came over and said a few words first.
"Don't simply think that the people of Xihua City were deceived, and your parents were deceived. That's just an excuse they made up! Just like the excuse they made for abandoning you!
This lady was truly deceived."
Sang Ning pointed at an old lady whose face was swollen and red and whose mouth corners were cracked.
"Yes, I was cheated! I'm sorry to my child, I have no face to live now..." The old lady hugged her daughter, and after the heartbreaking pain, she felt like she would rather die than live.
"See? Those who truly love you will be more shameless and suffer more than you.
And your parents, who enjoyed the benefits you brought and ate the food you brought with your flesh and blood, discarded you like a piece of trash when they learned the truth. This is no different from selling their daughters for fame and fortune!
Sang Ning coughed twice and breathed slightly.
Huo Changan's hand suddenly tightened.
Her eyes were filled with shock and pain, and her voice was filled with pleading: "Don't say it, Ning'er. Wait until you get better before you tell them, okay?"
"Well, say a few more words, right away."
The women were all in tears, and their dead eyes had turned into sorrow and envy.
I envy that lady’s daughter for having a mother who truly loves her.
"Don't blame your children for being unfilial if your parents are unkind. Your efforts over the past few years have repaid the kindness of his raising you. Today he has abandoned you. The family ties are severed, and we will have no further ties. From today on, you must live for yourself."
"But how can we survive?" they asked in confusion.
"As long as you have hands and feet, you can live!" Sang Ning's voice became louder.
"Believe me, the future of Xihua City will be a brand new Xihua City. As long as you keep a clear mind and don't let others fool you, you will definitely live a good life."
Sang Ning glanced at the parents who stayed behind and said nothing more.
Although these parents stayed, they may not be sincere.
After saying this, Sang Ning's body felt heavy and he no longer tried to hold on.
Huo Changan picked her up and carried her horizontally, then quickly walked into the room.
It’s so cold, her body is so cold.
His heart sank coldly.
Was it really caused by being soaked in the river? Was it really caused by the cold air entering the body?
He didn't dare to think about it.
When Ling Feifei came in with the boiled medicine, she saw the man sitting on the couch, hugging the sleeping mistress through the thick quilt, with his head buried deep in her neck.
He hunched his back, and an indescribable sadness lingered around him.
Just as she was about to put down the medicine and leave quietly, the man raised his head, his eyes showing undisguised pain and bloodshot from crying.
He never concealed his vulnerability at this moment, which was due to his deep love for his mistress.
Ling Feifei no longer has any unrealistic delusions, only admiration and loyalty.
But I still feel a pang of pain in my heart, and I hope that my mistress can get better soon.
I hope that she and the Lord will be safe and healthy.
"How is Jingya?" Huo Changan asked.
"I've suffered some injuries, but I'll be able to recover. Don't worry, my lord."
Although Huo Jingya was seriously injured, she was able to recover. Ling Feifei did not say anything specific to make him worry.
Huo Changan nodded and let her go out.
He took the medicine bowl and fed Sang Ning the medicine bit by bit.
About half an hour later, he came out of the room.
Outside, at the foot of the wall, Feng Dali stood facing the wall with his head lowered as if he was reflecting on his mistakes.
"What are you doing?"
"My Lord..."
Feng Dali raised his head, tears still hanging on his face which was covered with bloodstains. He was crying loudly but dared not make a sound.
"Jingya's arm is broken and swollen, and her foot is also badly injured..."
Huo Changan was silent.
"Everything will be fine."
Yes, everything will be fine, but if the injury was on him, he wouldn't say a word, but if the injury was on Jingya, he would feel terribly painful.
"Burp..." Feng Dali burped.
Huo Changan frowned, looked at the cloth strips wrapped around his body, and couldn't bear to scold him.
He just said: "Prosperity!"
Only after Huo Changan walked away did Feng Dali wipe his face in dissatisfaction.
I muttered to myself: Your eyes are as red as a rabbit's, who is more promising than who?
The soldiers who went to chase the fleeing monks came back to report that the other monks committed suicide by taking poison after being captured, and only one jumped into the river to escape. They could not find him even after running downstream.
It’s that senior brother.
The real mastermind ran away.
Now, we can only get some inside information from these victimized women and the wealthy businessmen who come to them for prostitution.
Check this temple to see if there is anything else going on.
Huo Changan asked one by one through the screen.
This question actually revealed something.
The news is shocking enough.
A woman said that a merchant once talked in his sleep and inadvertently revealed that she was more seductive than the Buddhist woman in a certain city.
This shows that this kind of activity is not only happening in Myoshui Temple.
There are also prostitutes who were caught and said that they were recommended by their friends to come here. It is not easy to come here. You need to have enough wealth and there are people to check it. Only after passing the inspection will you be brought here. You have to pay one thousand taels each time you come.
There are a total of twenty goddesses here, all of them are beauties, young and mysterious. You can stay for five days and sleep with five of them by paying one thousand taels.
It's much more cost-effective than sleeping with a top courtesan in a brothel.
Basically, no one who comes here will pay only one thousand taels. They will always sleep with everyone before leaving, and they will come back next time after leaving.
One thousand taels per person. In the past five years, the Buddhist temple has amassed a lot of wealth. However, only two boxes of silver were found in the secret room of the temple. Where did the rest go?
I thought it was just one person doing the evil, but I didn't expect it to be a group.
There is a huge black hand controlling this behind the scenes!
That senior brother is not the mastermind either.
Who could it be?
Where could Huo Changan use such a large sum of money? The only thing he could think of was recruiting soldiers.
In the secret room, a list of clients that had not been completely burned was also found.
Only a dozen names remained, from all over the place, with no apparent pattern.
"Send someone to arrest these people!"
Huo Changan kicked over the screen in anger.
Although he has not yet conquered the world and the timing is not right, he is too angry and cannot wait a moment!
As a son of a marquis, I knew that the world was difficult and the people were suffering, but I could never imagine that the world had become so rotten.
The darkness and filth he saw along the way refreshed his cognition again and again.
Isn't this also their dereliction of duty?
He must clean these Buddhist temples one by one to restore peace to the world!
