The guards who followed him into the room pushed over everyone who was still sitting next to him and placed the chair behind Xie Teng.
Xie Teng didn't sit down, but stepped aside to let Xie Ming carry Xie Manman in.
When Xie Manman appeared before everyone with her face covered in blood, it really startled the elderly, weak, women and children inside.
Many children have already started to cry.
"Xie Teng, what exactly are you doing?"
Cong Wende could no longer resist getting down from his seat and walking toward them.
"Old scoundrel, you really are a good in-law to our Xie family! You have 276 spies in the city at your disposal. Except for the shell of Sanyang City which belongs to the Emperor, everything else is in your hands! You truly deserve to be the Minister of War of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Stop talking nonsense! Putting aside our kinship, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Your killing spree in my Cong family in the dead of night has violated the law!"
"Hahaha—" Xie Teng laughed loudly, then turned to Xie Manman sitting next to her and asked, "Little sister, how should we kill them today?"
"Keep his parents and the gatekeepers, but don't keep the rest."
Xie Manman's voice was soft and gentle, but every word she uttered could send more than ten people to their deaths!
"Xie Manman, this is your husband's family home, and these are all your nephews and nieces. How can you be so heartless?"
The one who asked the question was a young woman from the Cong family, her eyes filled with tears and confusion.
"She" is Xie Manman's closest sister-in-law, and the two often meet up to talk in the Northwest.
At this moment, her stepping forward undoubtedly gave the Cong family hope.
Xie Manman gave the woman a complicated look, then looked up and said, "Big sister, let someone give her a quick death, don't let her suffer too much."
Her words were undoubtedly a death sentence for everyone present.
Immediately, shouts of insults and cries filled the hall. Then, one by one, the Cong family members closed their eyes in front of the three siblings.
Only Cong Wende, who looked numb, and Madam Cong, who collapsed and cried until she fainted, remained.
Xie Ming ordered his men to arrange the body inside the house, while they went to Xie's residence in the city.
That night, Xie Ming sat outside his sisters' house and kept watch all night.
Cong Wuyang returned to Sanyang City two days later, on the morning of the next day.
With Xie's army guarding the city, not even a fly could get out. Although he didn't know what had happened in the city, he could guess most of what had happened.
He didn't have to come back, but the Cong family lived in the city, and his cousin and son lived there, so he had to rush back to Sanyang City.
Early in the morning, many servants from wealthy families came out to shop on the street, but Cong Wuyang knew that none of them would be members of the Cong family.
After dismounting, he led the horse with difficulty toward his home.
It was very quiet outside the Cong family's house, and the surrounding area was also very clean. When he arrived at the door, he hesitated to push it open.
Those following behind also sensed the strange atmosphere and softly called out, "Little General!"
He took a breath and pushed open the door. The stone wall at the entrance was the same one, and the guards were still the same few people. There was nothing unusual about it.
Cong Wuyang felt a surge of joy and called out loudly, "Father, Mother!" His steps quickened.
When he pushed open the main hall door, he saw his relatives neatly arranged inside. Cong Wuyang stared at them one by one with bloodshot eyes.
He has an older brother who grew up with him, a half-brother who likes to argue with him, a half-sister who is afraid of him, and his most beloved younger sister...
Cong Wuyang let out a sobbing sound, and the people following behind him stopped in their tracks, not daring to go forward.
At this point, they knew they probably wouldn't be able to leave the house that day.
Cong Wuyang cried for a while and searched for a while. When she found that her parents were not inside, she was anxious and her steps became unsteady.
"Father! Mother! Where are you?"
He rushed out of the house and started shouting.
Xie Ming and his group entered at this moment. Seeing the people they brought in, Cong Wuyang closed his eyes weakly.
"Husband! You're back? Are you happy that the whole family is together?"
Xie Manman greeted Cong Wuyang with a smile and gave him a curtsy, just as she always did.
"You slut! How could you be so vicious? The thought of sharing a bed with you makes me sick! You don't know, do you? Before we got intimate, I would have the servants thoroughly clean you. That's because I thought you were dirty!"
Thinking of his family in the house, Cong Wuyang's eyes turned bloodshot as he tried to utter the most vicious words to Xie Manman.
"Smack!"
Xie Manman turned around and slapped Ji Miaozhen across the face, making half of her face swell up.
With her mouth gagged, Ji Miaozhen was dressed in fine clothes, just like Xie Manman a few days ago, adorned with jewels and ornaments, but her eyes were filled with pleading.
"Miaomiao~" Cong Wuyang then remembered that he still had four of his most important relatives alive. He called out anxiously and strode forward.
Xie Ming raised his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced through Xie Ming's thigh!
Cong Wuyang knelt down in agony, and the people tied behind him immediately cried out in distress.
"Husband, don't you love playing with me? You scheme against me, tie me up, humiliate me, and even want to destroy the Xie family? Well then, I'll play with you today!" Xie Manman pointed to the people tied up behind her and said, "I want to stab them all into a honeycomb. How about this? You choose one, whichever one goes first! If you choose one that satisfies me, I'll release one of them."
Cong Wuyang never expected that the gentle and kind woman would say such cruel things to him. He clutched his injured leg and said, "No! You can't! You can't do this!"
"Yes, you can! You can too!"
Xie Manman's eyes were bloodshot, no longer showing her previous composure and timidity. Xie Teng quickly pulled her behind him.
Xie Ming stepped forward with a smile and said, "Speak! Your father is very stubborn about all your dealings with the emperor. Even if you break his bones, he won't utter a single word. Now tell me, and who knows, that woman might get shot with an arrow. You know, my archery skills are the only thing I'm good at."
