"Heroine, why don't you kill him? Such a wicked person should be killed."
The woman's face was filled with resentment as she glared at the bandit leader, wishing she could tear him apart.
The bandit leader gave her a sinister look, smiled, and said in a sly tone, "People like us are certainly not good people, but how good are you?"
"you…………"
"Alright, alright, shut up, all of you. You're all useless, just big talkers, nothing special."
The group boarded the carriage, and the bandit leader became the driver.
He glanced back at the car, observing the surrounding terrain, and an idea formed in his mind.
If he………………
"Don't even think about running away. You can try and see if my knife is faster or your legs are faster."
Ma Hehua's leisurely voice came from inside the car, tinged with excitement.
Bandit leader: "……………………"
This is really weird, it's like this woman knows what he's thinking.
Thinking of that elusive knife that could instantly decapitate someone, he shuddered. It was too damn terrifying; it was better to be more cautious.
"Auntie, thank you for saving me. When I get back, I will definitely repay you properly and send that bandit to the military office."
"That won't do, he hasn't paid yet! Don't worry about the rest. You said that madam at the brothel is called Spring?"
The woman paused for a moment, then nodded. "My name is Furong. My mother is the owner of the brothel, but she is a good person and never forces women into prostitution."
"Pfft!"
Ma Hehua smiled.
"You don't force good women into prostitution?" She looked up at Furong's clothes. "If you don't force good women into prostitution, how will you eat well and dress well? This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Who would believe you if you said your mother didn't force good women into prostitution?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and became somewhat agitated. "My...my mother is a very good person. She has helped many beggars."
"Oh! Okay then! Your mother is a good person. By the way, your mother is from the South, right?"
"No, my mother is from the North."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hehua was stunned. Then she scratched her head and muttered, "This spring is quite capable!"
Ma Lihua lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around. The plain was indeed called a plain; apart from withered branches and rotten leaves, there was not a single mountain in sight.
Just as the curtain was about to be closed, a white fox suddenly leaped from the tree, its graceful movement incredibly smooth.
"Pear Blossom, are you hungry? When we get to the city, Grandma will buy you a big chicken leg. You've gotten so thin these past few days," Ma Linghua said with a pained expression.
"Mom, I want to eat big chicken legs too. Buy me five... no, buy me twenty."
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating, cough! As long as you get that bandit's money back, Mom will buy you fifty." Ma Linghua looked at her with a gentle expression.
“Mother, don’t worry, he can’t escape. If he doesn’t give it to me, I’ll dig his immortals out of their graves and use the Soul-Capturing Bell to send them to the afterlife.”
As he spoke, his voice became increasingly malicious.
This made the bandit leader outside and Furong inside turn pale, and they were both guessing what their identities were.
The bandit leader had heard years ago that there was a group of people who practiced martial arts, and he secretly pondered about it.
Once they reached the outskirts of the city and disembarked from the carriage, the three members of the Ma family felt as if they were in a dream.
"Mother, have we arrived in the capital?"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the signboard? Or did your father slack off when he was teaching you?"
Li Zhongguo: "??????"
This has nothing to do with him!
“My dad said I should learn as much as I can, and then I’ll marry a good man.”
Ma Hehua thought her father was right; Fa Gui was a good man.
"Hmph! That old bastard, I'll settle the score with him when I get back."
She's right! How could Lotus be so love-struck? She's been misled by her father.
There were soldiers guarding two rows outside the city gate, checking each person one by one.
What are they doing?
Ma Hehua was very puzzled.
“Recently, there have been many spies in the villainous party, so the leaders have been conducting rigorous investigations just in case.”
Furong stared at the soldiers, then her eyes lit up and she had an idea.
Ma Linghua was a cunning old fox, but seeing the dark clouds looming over the capital, she had her own ideas. She then glanced at the pear blossom, who nodded, and then at the lotus.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that? We're here!"
Ma Linghua: "……………………"
Ma Lihua: "……………………"
"Your brain is full of mush."
What did she do wrong this time? Why did her mother scold her again?
When they passed through the city gate, Furong was overjoyed to see her fiancé, Pan Tiancai.
Pan Tiancai, dressed in a military uniform, stood quietly to the side, watching his soldiers inspect him. He looked quite respectable, and it would have been even better if his eyes hadn't been so lecherous.
"Genius!" Furong exclaimed, quickly running over and then shouting, "Quick, those four people behind me are bandits, they're in cahoots, catch them!"
Furong cried out in fright and kept snuggling into Pan Tiancai's arms. Her pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for her.
As expected, something unexpected happened, and all four ended up in prison.
The bandit leader gritted his teeth. That damned woman! He shouldn't have been so lustful back then. He should have just killed her. It seems that lust is a dangerous thing!
Watching him keep pounding on the cell wall, Ma Hehua rolled her eyes.
"Mom, why did we come into this place? It smells terrible and it's noisy."
"What do you know? Shut up."
This roar silenced all the other prisoners in the cell.
"Come here."
Ma Linghua rarely spoke, but when she did, it was to the bandit leader.
"What's your name?"
"Xiong Ba".
Where is all the money?
"At the entrance of an alley in the city, there is an old locust tree, and under the tree is a box. Inside the box are... some gold and silver jewelry and silver dollars."
Xiong Ba was dumbfounded. Whatever this woman asked, she answered without hesitation. She didn't hide anything and told him everything.
"Very good, you are very honest."
Xiong Ba: "……………………"
"Lotus, go steal the money tonight... no... bring it back. We won't be staying in the capital for long; war is about to break out again."
I almost misspoke. They are law-abiding citizens. Would they do something as petty as stealing chickens or dogs?
"Yes! I understand, Mother." Ma Hehua was excited.
Xiong Ba looked at the impenetrable, impregnable prison and shook his head.
This woman is indeed quite capable, but in this place where not even a fly can get out, he'll have to see how she manages to get out tonight.
Meanwhile, Furong returned home escorted by her fiancé.
She looked smug. These three ungrateful women, and a bandit who tried to take liberties with her, would now be the ones spending their lives in prison.
