Chapter 311: What will happen to those who betray their masters?
Xu Mingyang and this group of young boys who had put in a lot of effort still didn't want to leave. They hummed and groaned, showing no trace of their previous bravery, and just kept trying to stay with Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia had important matters to attend to and could not afford to delay any longer. Her remaining patience was exhausted. She grabbed Xu Mingyang by the scruff of the neck, turned him around, and said to Meng Ran, whom the village children called "One-Eyed Uncle," "Take them all home and ask a doctor to take a close look at them. We'll do whatever we can to fix them."
Meng Ran whispered yes, picked up Xu Mingyang with one hand and pulled the boy from the Huo family with the other.
The two leading little bullies were taken away, and the remaining kids were leaderless. They looked around and followed consciously, touching their noses, under Sang Zhixia's smiling gaze.
When the adults of some children saw this, they were a little embarrassed: "Master, our little monkey is used to being beaten up, so it's nothing serious. We don't need to call a doctor."
"My dog is also very tough. I told him to go home and get some water to wipe it, but he..."
"These are all people who have helped me a lot. How can you be so vague?"
Sang Zhixia waved her hand and said, "Please ask the doctor to take a look first. If everything is fine, I will even set up a separate table for them tonight to express my gratitude. What's the big deal about making a little trouble?"
If it weren't for these half-grown kids who were brave enough to fight and rush forward without any scruples, those people who were lying on the ground dying might still be standing.
How can that be?
Sang Zhixia didn't let these people say more and asked someone to send the three little ones in the house back home together.
Sang Zhixia originally wanted Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu to go home as well.
But the two men believed that the children at home might suffer if they were not protected by adults, so they held the hot water with honey and refused to move.
Xu Wenxiu said generously, "Xia Xia, don't worry about us. Just do what needs to be done. We'll listen to whatever you say!"
Aunt Xu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but finally nodded with a serious face.
"As you say!"
Sang Zhixia laughed silently, and when she turned around, her smile faded. Her eyes fell on Yang Dazhu as if she was looking at a dead object.
"Did you steal the recipe?"
Yang Dazhu's eyes flickered: "Nonsense!"
"Can anyone prove that I stole something? I don't even know what recipe you're talking about!"
Aunt Xu said angrily, "I saw you steal my family's yeast with my own eyes! If my Xu Mingyang hadn't stopped you and beat you up, I don't know where you would have stolen the yeast! Am I wronging you?!"
Yang Dazhu hid the stolen distiller's yeast on his body. During the fight, Xu Mingyang kicked him into powder with a well-aimed kick, and the powder was scattered all over the floor.
Yeast is the most important thing in a winery and it is also a secret method that cannot be revealed to outsiders.
Sang Zhixia knew the structure of the winery better than anyone else. Unless it was needed, the koji was carefully stored in a locked fermentation room.
Even when taking something, it would be done by Uncle Xu or Aunt Xu themselves, and they would never ask others to do it.
Apart from the bloodstains on the ground, there was the unique aroma of koji. Anyone who knew what was going on would know what was going on just by looking down.
It is impossible that Aunt Xu San took out and crushed these koji herself.
Sang Zhixia was too lazy to argue with Yang Dazhu and said slowly, "You pushed my Third Aunt and insulted my mother-in-law?"
Yang Dazhu felt inexplicably weak when facing Sang Zhixia, but he still stiffened his neck and shouted without thinking: "I didn't!"
"They were the ones who called us thieves first! They say to catch a thief dirty, but you don't have any evidence. Why should we be humiliated like this?!"
"us……"
"So, everything I said is true."
Sang Zhixia came to the conclusion very calmly, lowering her eyes and saying, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. We can settle the accounts one by one. There's no need to rush."
"Lin Yun."
"Boss."
"Since the hand was the first to be dishonest, then I'll cripple it first."
Sang Zhixia's eyes slid lightly over Yang Dazhu and the others, and her tone sounded light and airy: "Whether it's the hand that hits people or the hand that steals things, they must stay today."
"You dare!"
Yang Dazhu roared in terror, "We didn't sign a contract to sell ourselves to your family! It's not up to you to decide whether we're guilty or not. If you have the guts, we'll go to the government office!"
"I don't believe you'd still be so arrogant even at the government office!"
"yamen?"
Sang Zhixia showed a mocking look on her face and said sarcastically, "When I get to the government office, I might be even more arrogant than you think."
"Get started!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sang Zhixia left no room for maneuver.
The people who attacked with Lin Yun moved extremely quickly and ruthlessly.
All that was heard was a series of screams. Yang Dazhu, the first one whose arm was twisted, let out a scream that was not like a human. His arms were twisted into terrible arcs, and under the hideous wounds caused by torn skin and flesh, the broken hand bones were faintly visible.
The aroma of the koji on the ground was instantly covered by the strong smell of blood, and countless exclamations of disbelief rang out from the crowd.
Sang Zhixia blocked Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu's sight without changing her expression, her eyes indifferent: "Yang Dazhu, besides you, who else is scolding people?"
Yang Dazhu's arms were twisted and twisted to a horrible bloody color. He was in so much pain that he was worse than death. He was unconscious and didn't know whether he could hear what Sang Zhixia said clearly.
Sang Zhixia didn't care that she didn't get an answer. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Brother Wu, I heard you were always here. Did you hear anyone scolding you?"
Wu Changgui was also frightened by the sudden ruthlessness shown by Sang Zhixia.
But people's hearts are biased.
Sang Zhixia has helped the villagers gain a lot of benefits and has saved the lives of countless families.
Since Sang Zhixia asked, Wu Changgui naturally told him everything he knew.
Sang Zhixia glanced at the people Wu Changgui pointed out, flicked his fingertips and said, "Since you can't control your mouth and can't say what you should say, then there's no point in keeping this three-foot-long tongue."
"Pull it out, it will save you the trouble."
Lin Yun pulled out a dagger and tried to cut Yang Dazhu's tongue. However, Aunt Xu, who was blocked by Sang Zhixia and couldn't see anything clearly, suddenly ran forward and grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, gritting her teeth and saying, "Pull it out!"
"Don't let the blood of these filthy creatures pollute my quiet place!"
After a while, the few people who were forcibly pulled out burst into broken screams again, the voices were unclear and no longer sounded like what a human could say.
Lin Yun left a few people outside to watch, and he came in with a dagger in his backhand, with blood dripping from the dagger all the way.
Lin Yun said respectfully, "Boss, it's already been cut."
Sang Zhixia's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly. She couldn't help but hold Aunt Xu's shaking hand and said in an unreadable voice, "Are you sure you can't speak?"
"There is absolutely no possibility of speaking again."
"Where are your hands? Can you still make wine in the future?"
Lin Yun lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Boss, they are all gone."
Sang Zhixia let out a calm breath, letting the cold sweat on her back soak through her inner clothes. She spoke with concentration, "Bring those who can still speak to a quiet, secluded place for interrogation. Find out how they colluded with outsiders and how much of the brewery's secret recipe has been leaked."
A fierce look flashed across Sang Zhixia's eyes. Amidst countless unspeakable fears, she said softly, "Don't be stingy with your methods. You must force them to speak."
"Also, are their families involved? Investigate them one by one!"
"Today I will let those with evil intentions know what will happen to those who betray their masters!"
