Chapter 307 The Evil Slave Deserves It
Gu Xixi was actually not far away from the carriage at this moment. She had just created a little distance because she didn't want to hurt her own people by suddenly attacking.
An Qinghe and Jiang Mingyuan had also been listening with their ears pricked up, and when they finally heard Gu Xixi's command, they immediately ran over.
Without taking time to look or think, An Qinghe immediately pounced on a man and raised the dagger to stab him fiercely.
Jiang Mingyuan was very observant and quickly stopped him, "Don't kill anyone!!"
An Qinghe was a foreigner, so even if he killed someone to protect himself, when he went to the government office to investigate, he would have to go through a complicated process of review and evidence collection.
If he takes action, the trip will definitely be delayed and the result will not be worth it.
Fortunately, An Qinghe reacted quickly and the tip of the knife just stopped at the man's left chest.
Jiang Mingyuan said, "You see, they are already powerless to fight back. We just need to restrain a few of them and not give them a chance to recover and counterattack."
An Qinghe looked carefully and found that the evil slave he was pressing down was twitching all over, his eyes were rolled back, his eyes were terrified, veins bulged on his forehead, and he seemed to be in great pain.
But he couldn't cry out in pain, only a strange gurgling sound came from deep in his throat.
Jiang Mingyuan handcuffed another slave's hands behind his back and said as he observed, "It looks like he's been poisoned."
He couldn't help but look at Gu Xixi who was standing in front of him.
What a powerful poison, it takes effect immediately. Was it Xixi who made it?
An Qinghe was disgusted by the white foam coming out of the evil slave's mouth. When he let go and stood up, the dagger stabbed into the evil slave's right leg and moved it to the outside.
If one of his leg tendons is severed, even if the poison doesn't kill him, he will never be able to bully others in his life.
Jiang Mingyuan originally wanted to find some rope to tie it up, but when he saw that An Qinghe's method was not only convenient but also a permanent solution, he just let him do it.
An Qinghe quickly dealt with the eight evil slaves, and wiped the blood off the dagger with the clothes of the last one. As he wiped, he smiled at Jiang Mingyuan, "After all, you have been an official in the government. I thought you would stop me from using this method to deal with them."
Jiang Mingyuan smiled slightly, "According to the laws of this dynasty, any citizen of Daye who robs people on the road or forcibly takes women, if they resist until they die, they will bear the consequences themselves. If they encounter someone who is brave enough to do it, they can also be executed."
"These people have just confessed that they have committed heinous crimes and harmed countless people. It is only natural that they deserve this fate."
"People of Daye?" An Qinghe pondered, "So you can kill them without taking any responsibility, but I can't?"
Jiang Mingyuan nodded, "Yes."
"You killed someone in Daye territory, it will be very troublesome to deal with it."
An Qinghe felt that Jiang Mingyuan was much more pleasing to the eye. "Then you were quite considerate of me for stopping me just now."
The two waved towards Gu Xixi.
An Qinghe shouted, "We've got them all, you can come over now!"
Gu Xixi then ran over and looked at the fallen slaves. "How is it? Has the medicine taken effect?"
Jiang Mingyuan said, "The effect was felt by all eight people, and the symptoms were roughly the same. The time between them falling to the ground was no more than five breaths."
Gu Xixi looked at Jiang Mingyuan with appreciation. He was indeed a top student who knew how to grasp the key points!
This was the new medicine she had prepared before she left. It wouldn't kill, but it would instantly poison the respiratory system of the person who inhaled it and cause swelling in the larynx.
It causes breathing difficulties, splitting headaches, and symptoms similar to epilepsy, making people lose their ability to resist for a short period of time.
Since this is the first time it is used on creatures other than mice, we are not completely sure yet.
That's why Gu Xixi sprinkled the medicine and ran away, so that these people would not have the strength to struggle to death and she would not be able to defeat them.
An Qinghe asked, "Did the old doctor give you this medicine? It's quite powerful. Will it poison them to death?"
Gu Xixi squatted down to check on the slaves to collect experimental data, and said, "Oh, I made the medicine myself. Poisoning may make people feel worse than death for a short time, but they will not die."
"Based on the amount of medicine they inhaled, the discomfort will only last for half a day at most."
Gu Xixi answered casually, but An Qinghe and Jiang Mingyuan were stunned.
Did you match it yourself?
Life is worse than death?
That amount of medicine?
The two men looked at Gu Xixi, and they both felt certain in their hearts that it was not enough, they still didn't know her well enough!
The woman in white walked over slowly, looking at the group of evil slaves on the ground, a look of satisfaction flashed across her face.
"I never thought that they would end up like this! God is truly merciful!"
She turned around abruptly and knelt down in front of Gu Xixi, "Thank you for saving my life!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Xixi to react, the woman in white kowtowed three times, her forehead turning a little purple.
Gu Xixi hurriedly stood up to help him, "Don't be like this, we met by chance, I just raised my hand."
The woman in white knelt there, refusing to get up. "Miss, save me, so that I won't be defiled by my enemies. This will only make these evil slaves suffer the consequences of their actions."
"Although the perpetrator is still alive, this action of the girl has comforted the spirits of my parents in heaven."
"I have been spared today, but one day I will seek justice from my enemies face to face."
"The young lady has given me a great favor by giving me a new life!"
Gu Xixi felt very uncomfortable and said, "I understand your feelings, please get up quickly."
"Otherwise... I will have no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to you as well."
The woman in white and Jiang Mingyuan were stunned. Is there any other way to do this?
An Qinghe laughed and said, "You two bow to each other, you bow three times, she bows three times again, I'm afraid we'll have to bow until tomorrow!"
Jiang Mingyuan smiled, "So, both girls, please stand up."
"If we don't hurry up, we'll have to sleep outdoors tonight."
Gu Xixi and the woman in white looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
The two stood up hand in hand, and the woman in white said, "My surname is Lu, and my given name is Jing. Because the sun was shining brightly when I was born, my father named me after three suns."
"I turned seventeen this year, and my family originally lived in Anning Village, not far from here."
Jiang Mingyuan said, "There is an Anning Village nearby."
Lu Jing smiled at Gu Xixi and asked, "May I know your name and where you live?"
Gu Xixi gave her name frankly and said, "I am the same age as you."
"From Huachidu Village near the northwest border."
Lu Jing bowed solemnly again and said, "I will always remember your kindness, but I have nothing now, and the little money I have left will be used for travel expenses."
"If I am still alive one day, I will do my best to find my benefactor and repay him with my body!"
An Qinghe whispered, "Isn't this just giving yourself in return for nothing?"
Gu Xixi glared at him and said, "Nonsense!"
Lu Jing blushed and smiled, "What this benefactor said is almost the same."
"Once my family is cleared of all charges and I see the evildoer brought to justice, I will follow Gu Benefactor wholeheartedly."
Gu Xixi hastily declined, "Don't call me benefactor all the time. We are both girls of the same age. Just call me Xixi."
"As for you giving me half your life, I really can't afford it."
"However, if you are alone and have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to the northwest to find me."
"Perhaps I can find you a way to make a living."
