Ling Yi quickly tied the man to himself and climbed up the ladder.
Ling San and Ling Si were waiting at the entrance of the cellar. Doctor Cheng was also ready to take the patient's pulse and give him acupuncture.
Chi Xingyue visited the courtyard accompanied by Ling Wu.
I found that the house was really dilapidated and the wall was really high, which revealed a sense of disharmony everywhere.
When Ling Jiren came out, Chi Xingyue stepped forward to join in the fun.
Looking at his tattered clothes and the skin vaguely exposed, my whole body felt numb.
How come something bad happened just because he didn't check the database?
He quickly called Ling Yi to carry the man into the house, and then with a sudden thought, he asked Ling Wu to bring back the one who was tied up in the woods.
To avoid being seen by some blind fool and causing trouble.
Ling Wu replied "yes" and ran away.
He moved quickly, and Doctor Cheng came back before he could finish treating Ling Jiren's wound.
Chi Xingyue ignored what was happening outside, went into the kitchen, rummaged around, and saw some millet, so he used a casserole to cook millet porridge.
However, the water used was space spiritual spring water, and red dates were added to the millet porridge.
Soon, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Chi Xingyue quickly closed the door to prevent the smell from wafting outside.
In the cellar, Ling Yi and Ling San used shovels to dig up the loose ground, and they saw a huge wooden box.
They continued digging and found that there was more than one box. They wanted to lift it up, but found that the box was very heavy and two people could not lift it at all.
Ling Jiheng simply had someone open the box and found that it was filled with gold.
You know, they were still in the cellar, using lanterns for lighting.
The moment the box was opened, it was so dazzling that Ling Jiheng subconsciously closed his eyes.
After moving the lantern a little, several people continued to open the box.
I found that apart from gold, the box contained valuable things such as jade and pearls.
How did such a little-known and remote village accumulate such wealth?
Besides, why don’t you repair the house now that you have money? Look at the roof, it’s almost blown away by the wind.
There were also several cracks on the wall. I was afraid that it would collapse with just a slight kick.
Ling Jiheng gave Ling Yi a wink, and Ling Yi dropped the legendary clan elder, Lord Long, down.
Ling Jiheng touched his body all over, removed his arms and legs, and then shook the antidote in front of his nose.
Lord Long slowly woke up and was shocked when he saw the familiar environment in the cellar and the unfamiliar faces of Ling Yi and the others.
He screamed subconsciously, but Ling Yi grabbed his throat.
The knife was pressed against his heart: "Be good and obey us. Whatever our master asks, you must answer. Do you understand?"
Long Ye nodded palely. Ling Jiheng kicked the box at his feet and asked him, "Where did you get this thing?"
Long Ye shook his head, not wanting to talk. Ling Yi didn't bother to be polite with him, simply covered his mouth and cut off his little finger.
Ling Jiheng did not stop him. After all, he had to avenge his elder brother anyway, so the reason didn't matter.
Lord Long felt pained and dared not hide anything anymore. He confessed all the dirty deeds they had done over the years.
It turned out that a group of bandits lived in Dongye Village.
In their early years, they robbed and looted outside. Later, when the imperial court surrounded and suppressed them, they found a remote corner of the mountains, killed everyone, and took over the other party's identities.
After a year or two of peaceful life, I felt that it was not exciting enough, and I was spending more and more money.
So, a group of people, led by Long Ye, embarked on the path of human trafficking.
They have been hanging around the border for a long time, targeting good-looking boys and girls.
Some pay money, which is considered a legitimate business, while others make money by kidnapping or abducting.
Part of the gold under your feet was accumulated from doing business over the years.
Some of them slaughtered wealthy businessmen who returned to the village to visit their relatives and seized their property.
Two days ago, we robbed a fleeing Northern Liao nobleman and got a lot of gold.
One or two people can't move it at all.
Because he had done so many bad things and was afraid of ghosts knocking on his door, Lord Long lived in the most dilapidated yard and pretended to be very poor.
He also arranged for his men to be on night duty.
In fact, he had settled down in the county a long time ago.
The five-story house was magnificently decorated, and was home to a beautiful wife and concubines, as well as numerous children and grandchildren.
As for why he kidnapped Ling Jiren, it was because his silly daughter was really attracted to Ling Jiren's appearance.
He also needed a reason to hide the reason why he went in and out of the cellar and hid the gold of the Northern Liao people.
Ling Jiren was used as cannon fodder and refused to surrender, so naturally he was not treated well.
Beat someone half to death and you won't notice what they did.
It would be better for people to die in there so that they don’t have to go out and make a fuss.
Ling Jiheng came out of the cellar and went to the kitchen to look for Chi Xingyue.
The millet porridge on the stove had just been cooked, and Chi Xingyue served a bowl to Ling Jiheng.
The rest was sent back to the house, just in time to meet Ling Jiren's gaze as he slowly woke up.
"Brother, are you okay? Have some millet porridge to warm your stomach!"
Ling Jiren was confused, but he subconsciously bit the spoon and drank the porridge in it.
Doctor Cheng sensed his strength and became furious: "You kid, let go of your mouth! You almost overturned the bowl."
Ling Jiren regained consciousness and wanted to ask something, but found his throat dry.
Doctor Cheng told him not to get excited, to eat something first, to regain his strength, and then they could talk in detail.
Ling Jiren nodded and ate obediently.
When Chi Xingyue returned to the kitchen, she saw Ling Jiheng had finished his porridge and was waiting for her.
"Wife, let me tell you, that Lord Long..."
Ling Jiheng explained the interrogation details to Chi Xingyue, and then asked her, "Please help me see if he is hiding anything or lying."
Chi Xingyue nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and sank his consciousness into the space.
I quickly went to the household registration department, entered Long Ye's name, and found the relevant information.
It can be said that he is quite reserved, and everything he confessed is true, except that he is missing some details.
This person is extremely evil.
They committed many acts of burning, killing, and torture, and even collaborated with the enemy.
Those thugs in the yard weren't good either. Each of them had several lives to their credit.
Even the man who drugged them was not a good person.
That’s right, they drugged them and said they would send Ling Jiheng to be a son-in-law. Chi Xingyue slept in a brothel, so how could he be a good person?
Birds of a feather flock together, they are in cahoots with each other and commit evil together.
Even the daughter of the clan elder who fell in love with Ling Jiheng was born a bad seed.
Three men were forced to do this, and their limbs were cut off and used as fertilizer and buried under the big tree at the door.
Chi Xingyue suppressed her vomiting and injected her soul back into her body, telling Ling Jiheng what she had found out.
Ling Jiheng frowned tightly, feeling that he shouldn't be the one to enforce justice, but at the same time, he didn't want to let these bad guys have an easy time.
However, their butcher knives were not aimed at themselves. There was no cause and effect, and killing people without authorization would consume their luck.
In the end, I decided to dump all the things in the house and leave the rest to fate.
Believe in the laws of nature, these beasts will not have an easy time.
It was getting late, so they had to clean up the battlefield and leave quickly.
Otherwise, we would be blocked by the villagers and it would be another fierce battle.
