A heart-wrenching female voice rang out, “You deserve to die the most. You are not worthy of being a mother. You abused me and sold me cheaply.
Yaoer deserves to die, he beat me and scolded me;
The Gu family and the village chief's family also deserve to die, fussing over trivial matters;
Hahahaha, everyone in Qingshan Village deserves to die. They drove me away and let me suffer domestic violence.
All those who harmed me must die. I brought these people here for revenge, hahahaha...
I was the one who set the fire, so why didn’t you burn to death, hahaha…”
The villagers were stunned by the scene, and those families that favored boys over girls were trembling with fear.
Widow Sun was tired from beating him and sat down miserably on the ground, still hugging her dead son and looking at her mad daughter.
Suddenly she picked up the big knife on the ground, rushed over, and stabbed Wu Wangnan in the chest. Blood gushed out from the wound, and then blood came out of all his orifices.
Wu Wangnan stared at Widow Sun and spoke intermittently, "In my next life...I won't...be...your daughter..."
Wu Wangnan's life ended here.
The frantic Widow Sun drew her knife and chuckled, "Son, look, I've avenged you!"
Then she raised the knife and thrust it into her chest, "Don't be afraid, Yaozu. Mom will be here to accompany you soon."
Widow Sun, covered in blood, fell to the ground and slowly crawled towards her stupid son, leaving a trail of drag...
Alas, life is nothing but a big fuss and then a quiet departure, all gains and losses are in vain!
Gu Xinran was filled with sighs as she watched.
"That bitch hurt me!" A tied-up man roared at the dead Wu Wangnan.
The gangster who was knocked unconscious is slowly waking up.
The first person Xiao Ba interrogated was Wu Wangnan. When he was awakened by splashing water on him, his true face was revealed. The villagers recognized him, and the previous scene happened.
Xiao Ba grabbed the big man and it turned out to be the bald man who climbed over the wall of Gu's house.
Xiao Ba held a long sword in his hand, his aura was two meters and eighty centimeters high. "Tell me, what's going on?"
The bald man stiffened his neck and cried with tears and snot.
"We are all poor refugees, and that damn woman came up to us while we were fleeing from the famine.
She always boasted about the prosperity of Qingshan Village, especially the Gu, Zhang, Sun and Li families, whose granaries were full of money and grain.
We were thirsty and hungry, and seeing we couldn't survive, she encouraged us to come here and rob.
She planned the route and how to rob the gang. Since we didn't make any serious mistakes, please forgive us."
"Please spare us!"
"I have old people above me and young children below me!"
"My wife is waiting for me to come home!"
…
Various pleas for mercy were heard everywhere.
The villagers began to look at him with sympathy.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Gu Xinran shouted, "Shut their mouths."
Then he said to the villagers earnestly: "Don't be fooled, they are not telling the truth at all. The knife-wielding robbers from my family, Zhang's family, the village chief's family, and Widow Sun's family have definitely seen blood and are here to kill and rob.
The others robbed and looted, causing many injuries and heavy losses. They must not be forgiven lightly and will all be handed over to the authorities tomorrow.
Let's help search the criminals and find something useful to share with them to make up for the losses tonight."
Xiao Ba's face was stern, and he spoke seriously, "These aren't ordinary people. How could ordinary refugees produce dozens of machetes? It's obvious that something's wrong."
The villagers, who had been softened by the plea, suddenly came to their senses when they thought of Wu Yaozu's miserable appearance and the food in their homes that had been destroyed.
Village Chief Li also calmed down at this time, "No mercy! Without Xiaoba Xinran and the Zhang brothers' timely rescue, my family would be destroyed. Do everything Xinran says."
More than eighty gangsters were gagged and divided into several groups, and attacked together.
"Haha, ten taels of silver!"
"A jade pendant!"
"Two golden hairpins!"
"Ten coppers!"
…
Everyone had a good harvest, and after a period of chaos, it came to an end.
Gu Xinran walked up to the bald man and called Brother Gu to help him take off his shoes. He shook them, tore open the interlayer, and a fifty-liang silver note fell out.
He pulled off his cotton coat and trousers, fumbled around, and found a handful of small gold ingots.
Hair loose, nothing.
Gu Xinran spoke amid the onlookers' "wows." "That was just a detailed demonstration of the body search. Did everyone understand? Search carefully and don't miss any place. These are all our treasures."
The villagers opened the door to a new world, and there was another crackling sound. The bandits were tied up with their hands and feet, and were stripped down to their underwear.
The final tally came to over 500 taels of silver, some jewelry, a handful of small gold ingots, and 30 large swords.
Each person was given two taels of silver per head, and the remaining jewelry and gold ingots would be distributed after they were exchanged. Gu Xinran, Xiao Ba, and the Zhang brothers, who contributed the most tonight, were each rewarded with a large sword, and the rest would be kept temporarily by the village chief.
The villagers were all beaming with joy!
The village chief was worried, "Xinran, Brother Xiaoba, if we plunder everything, will the county magistrate blame us?"
Xiao Ba patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I know the county government well. They are in need of iron miners. If I send him a head, County Magistrate Yan will be very happy and won't care about these things."
"Thank you for your help, Brother Xiaoba!"
"You're welcome."
As dawn was about to break, Xiao Ba rode his horse towards the county town.
With the comfort of the silver, the villagers no longer felt sad about being robbed, but instead had the illusion of making a fortune.
The village chief told everyone not to talk about the money distribution outside, as it would only harm their own interests. Now that there is money, we should store more food.
Three hours later, Xiao Ba brought a large group of yamen runners and took the people away without asking any questions.
The village chief led people to dig a pit and hastily buried Widow Sun and the other two. Everyone felt sad.
