After listening for a while and not hearing anything useful, Jiang Jiuniang impatiently jumped out.
The two people who were talking were interrupted. When they saw Jiang Jiuniang suddenly appear, they were stunned for a moment. Before they could react, Jiang Jiuniang attacked them, and the two hurriedly responded.
When I fought Lu Baichuan before, although I felt that he was very strong, I could at least tell that he was a normal person.
But when she fought Jiang Jiuniang, the fighting power she unleashed was terrifying to everyone who saw it.
Both of them were injured and already exhausted. When they encountered a strong opponent like Jiang Jiuniang, they were defeated in no time.
The others rushed over upon hearing the commotion, but it was too late. Xu Zhao was pinned under Jiang Jiuniang's feet, completely unable to fight back.
"Let us go, and I'll give you all the shops I've built up over the years!"
The woman spoke again, saying that all she had left were these material possessions.
The information shows that Jiang Jiuniang is very fond of money, and hopes to use these to bribe her.
Xu Zhao remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Do you think your great-aunt would even look at those things of yours?
Jiang Jiuniang sneered. She hadn't forgotten that Lu Baichuan's injuries were caused by this woman.
The woman bit her lip, surprised that the man wouldn't take the bait.
"Tell me, where is Ouyang Jing? Also, what is your purpose in coming to Beiyan?"
The answer was already obvious, and they wouldn't say it, but Jiang Jiuniang still had to go through the motions.
Sure enough, Xu Zhao chuckled and said, "You might as well just kill me and be done with it!"
"Kill you directly? No, no, no, that would be too easy on you."
She bent down, lifted the person up, and was about to lift the woman when Xu Zhao pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it towards Jiang Jiuniang's heart.
Jiang Jiuniang reacted quickly, throwing the person aside and then pressing her down to give her a beating.
His ferocity was so great that none of his henchmen dared to step forward to help, fearing they too would be beaten up like that.
Jiang Jiuniang always hits the most painful spots. Xu Zhao is a very tolerant person, but he screamed in pain in front of so many people. The scene was no different from slaughtering a pig.
The woman next to her saw that Jiang Jiuniang was focused on hitting Xu Zhao and wanted to take the opportunity to run away. However, she was knocked down by Jiang Jiuniang with a silver needle as soon as she tried to leave.
"Did I tell you to leave? My man is so badly injured, isn't it impolite of you to just leave like this?"
After saying this calmly, Jiang Jiuniang continued to swing her fist at Xu Zhao.
A short while later, Xu Zhao vomited blood and fainted. Jiang Jiuniang found a rope and tied him up. Fearing that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, she also dislocated his jaw.
Just put it on when you need him to speak.
Then they tied up the woman, and the woman took the opportunity to negotiate with Jiang Jiuniang: "If you spare my life, I can give you everything I have, and I can also tell you some information I have found out."
"Don't worry, even if I don't let you off the hook, you still have to say what you need to say."
There's nothing Jiang Jiuniang can't get out of her mouth; it just depends on whether she's interested in those things.
The woman gritted her teeth, never expecting Jiang Jiuniang to be so difficult to deal with.
After Jiang Jiuniang tied up the two men, the rest of her men didn't dare to move. Even though they were armed and there were so many of them, they were still so nervous that they kept swallowing their saliva when facing the unarmed Jiang Jiuniang.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't stand on ceremony with them. She threw a bundle of rope at them and said, "If you know what's good for you, tie it up yourself. Don't force this old lady to do it herself."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, and the moment they met Jiang Jiuniang's provocative eyes, they immediately dropped their weapons and helped each other tie each other up.
Those who know when to yield are wise; they don't want to be beaten to the point of vomiting blood and fainting like their masters.
So, this scene unfolded on the street: a stunningly beautiful woman walked at the front, followed by a long line of people. A man and a woman were bound hand and foot and carried by several others whose hands were only tied. The rest of the people with their hands tied followed obediently behind, walking in unison, not daring to lose their composure.
The crowd gathered to watch, and someone asked, "Young lady, what have these people done to deserve this parade?"
"Yeah! This is the first time I've seen people paraded through the streets without riding in a prison cart. They're not even tied up, aren't they afraid they'll run away?"
"These people look familiar. Oh right, isn't that the young apprentice from the clothing store? Why was he arrested too?"
...
Everyone asked questions at once, and Jiang Jiuniang, in a good mood, answered them one by one.
"These people are all spies sent by Nan Tai. They usually disguise themselves as people from Bei Yan to mislead everyone, gather intelligence, and find an opportunity to attack us!"
"They were responsible for Mr. Ouyang's death a few days ago. They thought Mr. Ouyang was very influential and wanted him to do things for them. When he refused, they conspired with his son to kill him!"
"Alas, Mr. Ouyang is truly unfortunate. He raised two ungrateful wretches. Those two brothers actually killed their own father for the sake of the family property. It is truly an outrage against heaven and earth!"
...
To simplify things, she even fabricated a plausible cause of death for Old Man Ouyang, at least making the people feel that they hadn't trusted the wrong person, since they still greatly admired Old Man Ouyang.
"What! This person, along with his two sons, actually murdered Old Master Ouyang? You can never judge a book by its cover!"
"I heard that the old man separated from his family a long time ago because those two brothers were good-for-nothings. I never expected that those two brothers would be so vicious as to lay a hand on their own father. They are beasts!"
"Where are those two ungrateful wretches? Have they been caught yet?"
They didn't know who Jiang Jiuniang was, but seeing that a young woman like her could manage to subdue so many people, they knew she must be no ordinary person, and thus they inexplicably trusted her.
Jiang Jiuniang replied warmly, "Old Master Ouyang's youngest son committed suicide at home out of fear of punishment, but his eldest son is still on the run. However, don't worry, our government has already sent people to search for him, and we believe that we will catch him soon. When that happens, we will definitely hold a court hearing. Everyone can go to the yamen to join in the fun and learn from this experience!"
Immediately, someone laughed and replied, "Oh, of course! His Majesty governs the world with filial piety, and we all follow his example. How could we do something so beastly?"
"That's right!"
The crowd headed to the yamen in high spirits. The prefect had just settled things with the Ouyang family and left a few people to guard the place. He then led the others and Ouyang Hao's body back to the yamen first, when they saw Jiang Jiuniang leading a large group of people toward them.
At first, the prefect thought it was a riot by the people, but when he saw Jiang Jiuniang, who was radiantly white, and the string of people behind her in the crowd, he didn't know what to say.
"What... what is this?"
