Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately nodded vigorously in response to Xu Jinhuan's words.
Can they say they're wrong? Just look at Xu Jinhuan's state just now. Anyone who dares to voice an objection is likely to have that gleaming dagger slashed at their mouth!
Aunt Bai Pang really didn't think Xu Jinhuan had done anything wrong. She smiled and walked over to Xu Jinhuan, encouraging him.
"Jin Huan, you did the right thing. Why should those good-for-nothings be allowed to pick and choose?"
Those who only gossip behind others' backs are no good; they deserve to be taught a lesson!
After saying that, she patted Xu Jinhuan on the shoulder with an air of importance, her eyes full of admiration.
Throughout history, women who aren't ruthless have an unstable position; they need to act decisively when necessary to live a more comfortable life.
Just then, Xie Datou led his constables in.
"Boss, the house is all cleaned up, we can assign rooms now."
Xu Jinhuan nodded and said to the obediently standing crowd, "Everyone, please stand separately. We're going to be assigned to rooms now."
Having just undergone a spiritual baptism, the exiled people were exceptionally obedient and quickly lined up as family units.
Xu Jinhuan made arrangements quickly, mostly grouping families with large or small numbers together for everyone's convenience.
When they arrived at Aunt Bai Pang's family, Xu Jinhuan made extra careful arrangements, specifically choosing a family that was easy to get along with, the one whose child was teasing Old Madam Lin with innocent words.
Finally, Xu Jinhuan arranged for herself and Li Xiaoxiao to share a room. After all, no matter how much Li Yichang doted on his sister, the two were still different as men and women, and it would be more convenient for her to do some things.
Li Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the arrangement. She smiled, tugged at Xu Jinhuan's sleeve, and whispered something.
"That's great, my sister smells so nice. I'm sure I'll sleep very well if I live with her."
Seeing that his younger sister had no objections and having heard her outrageous words, Li Yichang could only pout in grievance and then silently comfort himself.
Thankfully, Xu Jinhuan isn't a man, otherwise he would have really broken down.
After the houses were arranged, everyone put on their raincoats and began to move in an orderly manner.
Xu Jinhuan was also preparing to go to the place where the spy was being held. Before meeting with everyone, she needed to find out the whole story.
"Boss Xu, where are you going? We'll be eating soon."
As soon as Ma Wencai pushed open the kitchen door, he saw Xu Jinhuan outside and greeted her with a puzzled look.
Xu Jinhuan pointed to a house not far away, "I won't feel at ease until I've interrogated them all. Do you want to come along?"
When Ma Wencai heard Xu Jinhuan mention interrogation, he immediately thought of the damp mulberry paper from before, and his body instinctively shuddered.
However, he immediately realized that he wouldn't be the one being punished this time, so he straightened his chest and said loudly.
"Yes, of course I'll go!"
"Sister, my brother and I are here to help too," Li Xiaoxiao said softly as she walked out of the house, led by Li Yichang.
Ma Wencai met Li Xiaoxiao today. He felt sorry for her when he learned that she was blind, and he tried his best to take care of her while climbing the mountain.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly weak and delicate girl actually offered to help with the interrogation.
This isn't a trip to the market to buy things!
"No, boss, she..."
Ma Wencai wanted to stop her, but he was too embarrassed to refuse the girl, so he couldn't find the right words and stammered.
Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, come if you want to. You can help me out."
Ma Wencai stared blankly at Xu Jinhuan, then at Li Xiaoxiao, as if he thought he had misheard.
But seeing that everyone was walking into the interrogation room confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his hearing.
No, what help could a little girl like her possibly offer?
How come none of them are worried about leaving a shadow on their children?
Ma Wencai instinctively wanted to scratch his head, but the straw hat on his head blocked it, so he could only follow behind the others blankly into the interrogation room.
The moment he stepped inside, a thought suddenly flashed into his mind: Wait, could this little girl be the real big shot?
Ma Wencai walked into the house and silently looked at Li Xiaoxiao's back. He still couldn't figure out what this girl was good at.
He removed the straw hat from his head, scratched his head, and finally chose to wait quietly for Xu Jinhuan to interrogate him.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Xu Jinhuan was sizing up Song Shulan, who was dressed as a woman.
To be honest, apart from his smudged Adam's apple and his slightly taller stature than the average girl, you really couldn't tell he was disguised unless you looked closely.
Xu Jinhuan's collecting obsession resurfaced. Now, besides wanting to find out the truth of the matter, she also wanted to learn this disguise technique.
She had specifically instructed Xie Datou to lock this man up in so as to prevent collusion, and now it was a good time to interrogate him first.
Song Shulan, who was sitting in the corner, wanted to give a provocative smile when she saw the four people enter. Unfortunately, her jaw had just been dislocated by Xu Jinhuan, and the smile made her drool.
Instead of deterring anyone, it only provided a lot of laughs.
Ma Wencai and Li Yichang exchanged a glance. They both recalled how they had resisted so fiercely back then, but they wondered how long this person could hold out.
Xu Jinhuan walked over to Song Shulan, pinched his chin and examined him closely, and indeed found a poison in his back teeth.
“Ma Wencai, come over here and pry the poison out of his teeth. Be careful not to break the skin.”
Ma Wencai was initially quite pleased that Xu Jinhuan remembered him, but upon hearing what he was supposed to do, his face immediately contorted into a bitter expression.
Despite his reluctance, he obediently walked over. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat Xu Jinhuan and was willing to be his underling.
Ma Wencai disgustedly picked at the poison with his fingers. After removing it, he subconsciously sniffed his hands, gagging as he rushed out of the house...
"It smells awful. Looks like I'll have to give Ma Wencai an extra chicken leg at dinner later," Xu Jinhuan muttered under his breath.
Meanwhile, Song Shulan, sitting in the corner, had her mouth still open and was drooling uncontrollably.
He glared angrily at Xu Jinhuan in front of him. If looks could kill, Xu Jinhuan would have been dead on the spot long ago.
"Li Yichang, put his chin back in place, and wipe his drool with your clothes." Xu Jinhuan looked at Song Shulan with disdain, and then called over another of his underlings.
Li Yichang didn't react as strongly as Ma Wencai. He cleverly picked up Song Shulan's skirt and used it to cover her face. Then, with a "snap," he put Song Shulan's chin back in place.
He then hastily wiped Song Shulan's face before returning to Xu Jinhuan's side with a righteous expression.
Song Shulan was initially quite spirited, but after this series of inexplicable actions, he was completely distraught.
No, you can interrogate me if you want, but why are you insulting me?
