"Fellow villagers!"
Jiang Ming shouted to everyone, "Do you see the soldiers behind me? These are the soldiers the county sent me to stand up for you! Don't worry, as long as your daughters are alive, I will bring them all back to you!"
"Long live!"
"Long live Pavilion Chief Jiang!"
"Long live Pavilion Chief Jiang!"
......
The villagers were filled with excitement, kneeling and shouting "Long live the Emperor!" The noise resounded through the sky!
At this moment, the old woman who had cried until she went blind staggered over with her son's help, and tried to kneel down to pay her respects to Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming quickly stopped her.
"Auntie! There's no need for that..."
"Chief Jiang!"
Two more tears streamed down the old woman's face as she trembled and cried, "Jiang Tingzhang, you must avenge us! Waaah! Where is that Dong Shan? I'll gouge his eyes out..."
"Auntie! Don't worry, gouging out his eyes is too easy on him..."
Jiang Ming tightened his grip on the old woman's hand and said, "Just listen carefully in a moment!"
Dong Shan and Dong Chuan, these two brothers, hadn't yet witnessed Jiang Ming's ruthlessness, and were still clinging to a sliver of hope, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly kowtowing to Jiang Ming...
"Lord Jiang, please forgive us! We know we were wrong!"
"Lord Jiang, please have mercy! We are all relatives of the Prefect's wife. Please, for the sake of the people, spare us this time!"
......
These two grandsons have lost their minds; they're still using the matter of the prefect's wife's relatives as a pretext!
"Oh......"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "Where did those girls go?"
"They were all taken away by Young Master Luo! We didn't know!" Dong Shan knelt on the ground and wailed.
"Oh......"
Jiang Ming sneered, then turned to Chen Dazhuang and said, "Dazhuang! Didn't he send his men over this morning with some copper coins to collect wolf pelts? Light the furnace and melt all those copper coins down..."
"Lord Jiang, what is this?" Chen Dazhuang asked, somewhat bewildered.
"snort......"
Jiang Ming glanced at Dong Shan with a cold smile and said, "Since Boss Dong and Registrar Dong are so greedy for money... if they don't confess honestly, then I'll feed them molten copper..."
Upon hearing this, the Dong brothers were terrified!
He frantically kowtowed and begged for mercy! A bloody gash the size of a teacup appeared on his forehead!
"Lord Jiang, I'll talk! I'll talk! All I know is... two were sold to the State of Jin, three to the State of Qi, and four to the State of Chu. I really don't know who they were sold to! And as for the rest, I really don't know!"
Dong Shan crawled forward on his knees and hugged Jiang Ming's leg: "Lord Jiang, this is really all I know... If you don't kill me, I'll give you all my property!"
"snort......"
Jiang Ming ignored him and yelled at Chen Dazhuang, "Dazhuang? What are you doing? What are you spacing out for? Didn't you hear my order?"
"Okay, okay, I understand!"
"And another thing! Bring Liang the Drunkard here!"
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "The whole village, young and old, is here. Where did he go?"
......
Tonight is destined to be an unusual night.
Jiang Ming was holding a large meeting in Chenjia Village... while on a hillside not far from Chenjia Village, Tuoba Ren, covered in blood, was staggering forward with difficulty.
An arrow was still stuck in his back...
Seeing the lanterns and torches illuminating Chenjia Village, the Left Chancellor of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, leaning against a large tree, coughing up blood, painfully raised his hand and called out, "My...my...my lord!"
