Jiang Ling touched the tip of his nose after being praised seriously.
"Well, the bandits have been wiped out. Take your men and release those who are imprisoned and let them go home.
As for the gold, silver, jewelry, and grain, I'll send some to the nearby villages tomorrow. They were probably stolen from other people's homes. The farmers are starving and suffering!"
Upon hearing Jiang Ling's arrangement, Butler Chen answered without hesitation.
"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away." Both their master and sir are kind-hearted.
They are used to sending money and food.
It’s true that people from the same family are alike!
What a match!
As he was thinking about it, Butler Chen happily arranged the tasks assigned to him by the young master.
Looking at the smiling Butler Chen, Jiang Ling was a little puzzled. Why was he so happy?
Forget it, as long as the old man is happy, he shook his head and followed them to the place where the people were being held.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a cave in the back mountain.
The cave is very long. Fortunately, there are oil lamps lit every ten meters, otherwise it would be pitch black and difficult to move forward.
Butler Chen walked in front and reminded Jiang Ling to slow down.
"Sir, please walk slowly. The path in this cave is not very stable."
"It's okay, just slow down."
This prison was indeed quite deep. Jiang Ling and his companions walked into the cave for five minutes before they heard some crying and tinkling sounds.
When Jiang Ling and his companions approached, they discovered that there were more than 20 young girls imprisoned in the stone prison, and each of them looked dirty.
In a corner of the stone prison, there were four other people: two half-grown children and a couple in their thirties.
When these people saw someone coming, they all looked terrified, especially the girls. They huddled together in fear, and some even cried out of fear, but no one dared to look up at the person outside the iron gate.
However, Jiang Ling keenly noticed that one of the girls raised her head and looked at him, then quickly hid behind him, staring at them without blinking.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was still watching them until Butler Chen opened the iron gate. A gleam of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he cried out in surprise:
"Butler Chen, is that you?"
Hearing this seemingly familiar voice, Butler Chen hurried in.
Oh my! It turned out to be an acquaintance, and one of our own!
"Sir Xu, why are you here?" Butler Chen asked in surprise.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was none other than Lord Xu, who was originally an official of the imperial court but was later exiled thousands of miles away for some reasons.
Unexpectedly, he not only suffered the pain of exile, but was now captured by bandits and imprisoned here.
No one else has such luck!
Looking at the surprised Butler Chen, Xu Wenzhi's face flushed red.
"Hey, I was brought up here accidentally."
Butler Chen guessed that he was probably deceived.
"Okay, hurry out, it was the young master who saved you."
After saying that, he took Xu Wenzhi and his family out of the prison.
Then he shouted to the girls who were still motionless in the cell.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The young master has saved everyone and the bandits have been wiped out. You are all safe now. Come out quickly and prepare to go home!"
Looking at this group of young girls, Butler Chen couldn't help but feel sympathy.
The young girls heard that the bandits had been killed, they were saved, no longer tortured, and could go home.
Everyone knelt down in the direction of Jiang Ling, crying and kowtowed in gratitude.
"Okay, get out of here first!" He felt a little annoyed when he saw the woman kneeling in a ball and crying loudly.
The crying girls also heard the somewhat impatient tone of this handsome young man.
I can’t react in time!
Don't they deserve his sympathy after suffering such a great crime?
Why are you feeling a little impatient?
As I thought about it, I started crying again unconsciously.
But the girl who had been hiding behind stood up and slowly walked out of the cell.
Her face was covered in tears, and her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were firm and full of hope. She stared straight at Jiang Ling and asked seriously, "Sir, are you sure all the bandits have been wiped out? There were at least seventy or eighty of them..."
It’s not that she didn’t believe what Jiang Ling said, but she was too scared.
If some of the missing people escape, what will happen to them? Will the bandits take revenge on them?
It was obvious that this young man was just passing by. If the bandits came back after he left, what would they do?
What should the villagers in the village at the foot of the mountain do?
She really hoped that all the bandits would die, because it was these hateful guys who caused her family to be destroyed. Now, she is homeless.
However, she did not dare to give up her life easily. After all, as long as she was alive, there was still hope.
She wanted to see those bandits and bad guys die one after another with her own eyes, and it would be best if they were all wiped out.
Her heart was filled with hatred. She hated those men who robbed women on sight, and she hated even more those evil women who colluded with bandits.
At this moment, she suddenly learned that the bandits had been wiped out. She was extremely excited, and the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time were released at once. Tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood.
Who can bear to suffer such a crime for no reason?
However, Jiang Ling had no sympathy in his heart.
This world is inherently unfair. Danger exists at all times. We can only rely on ourselves to be prepared for danger and remain vigilant.
If you rely on others for everything, you will end up dead!
When disaster strikes, how much love is left?
However, looking at the girl in front of him and the girl still in prison, he said seriously.
"All the bandits on the mountain have been wiped out. Not a single one has escaped. Don't worry. Let's get out of here first!"
After saying that, he walked towards the cave entrance.
I really don’t understand. He has been rescued, but he is not willing to go home. Is there something wrong with his brain?
So, a group of people stumbled after him.
When they walked out of the cave, they suddenly saw the sunlight, which made them feel dazed.
Every time he was taken out of the cave at night, tortured, and sent back before dawn.
They seemed to have forgotten how long it had been since they last saw the sun. It felt so comfortable to bask in the sun.
Let the sun dry out the dirt on them!
They were reborn, a life that was hard-earned!
After figuring it out, the group of girls bowed deeply in the direction of Jiang Ling and Butler Chen.
Jiang Ling could feel the changes in them. They were no longer as decadent as before, but instead had new vitality.
It seems that these girls are still very strong.
Human beings are so amazing!
Jiang Ling nodded and looked at them.
"Are you all from the nearby villages? I can send someone to take you back."
Jiang Ling's words made the girls fall into deep thought.
Until the girl who spoke at the beginning spoke.
