It was different from what they imagined that Hei Mei and others were being tortured. It seemed that people in the yard were still being tortured, but the targets of the torture were not Hei Mei and others, but a family of four who looked a little wretched.
The man lay on the ground, burning firewood and roasting skewers of meat.
The woman kept turning over the clothes that were still drying, and from time to time she glanced at the four children who were riding the big horses.
A fat boy who was mistaken for a horse would be beaten hard by the little boy on his back if he slowed down.
Similarly, a fat girl carried Hei Mei on her back, and when she cried and said she couldn't move, Hei Mei would hit her with a bamboo stick.
"I told you you're a horse, so you have to run quickly."
Chang Tong ran over quickly.
"Sis, you guys play with horses, I want to play too."
When Heimei saw everyone coming, she quickly jumped off the horse.
"Go ahead and ride them if you want. If they slack off, whip them hard. These two horses are not good, don't be soft-hearted."
Xiushui sighed, "My dear, what are you doing..."
Her eyes fell on the man and woman who were burning a fire and scratching their bodies fiercely, and suddenly she understood.
"It seems that the protective medicines I gave you are quite effective."
Ziyi nodded repeatedly. "Sister, those medicines are incredibly effective. Without them, we would be the ones suffering. You don't know, when we were brought here, these two wanted us to be their children's slaves."
Fortunately, we showed weakness at first, and then took the opportunity to drug them, which made these evil people obey us obediently."
The two children didn't say anything specific, but Xiushui could imagine that Sanlaizi's family must have behaved very badly, otherwise the two little kids wouldn't have treated them like that.
She knew very well what kind of personality her sister had. She was a person who had a clear distinction between love and hate.
"We just knocked them down, and just then, Mom and Dad came quietly here, soaking wet. Hehe, then, we just let them serve us."
Heimei's words also made Xiushui feel a lot more at ease.
Thinking that this matter had not been dealt with yet, Xiushui instructed them to beat up the people and hand them over to the government.
As for everyone else, after doing a good deed, it’s better to stay aside to avoid causing a sensation.
Zhang Xinxiang and Hei Mei rolled their eyes and nodded in agreement, telling her to get back to her work. She didn't need to worry about other things.
Looking at Zhang Xinxiang, it is clear that she has a lot of experience. With her in charge of the whole situation, Xiushui is indeed relieved.
After giving the instructions, Xiushui hurried to the underground Happy Palace.
From Xu Hanshan, she now knew that this place was actually named Happy Palace. According to Xu Hanshan and others, there should be no less than ten such Happy Palaces across the country.
Places like this were created by the person who controls them behind the scenes.
"Most people who come here don't actually spend much. I guess this is a disguised way for them to attract people to the ship.
After all, if we have these leverages, we can threaten these people later. As long as everyone works together, these things will not be exposed."
Xiushui nodded, so, this kind of place is, on the one hand, a place for rich people to have fun.
Secondly, it is also an entertainment venue for them to recruit people in disguise.
The people who were dragged in were all innocent girls and immature children. What they did was too inhumane.
"What's going on with your family?"
"Mu Qiping and I are both branches of the old family. The main branch is serving as an official in the capital, but we are no longer in contact with each other, yet we are both being used by that person."
Xiushui looked at Xu Hanshan in surprise. "You actually confessed so much to me from the very beginning?"
Xu Hanshan smiled calmly. "Because from the moment we followed the girl's footsteps, there was no turning back. From that moment on, we made our final decision with the one who controlled us."
I'm going to die sooner or later, so I can just take a gamble. If there's a glimmer of hope, maybe my family and I can escape control."
He spoke easily and laughed frankly, and Xiushui gave him a thumbs up.
"Very good. Actually, I am from the Wen family. The person I found out about is Xu Qingshan, the grandfather of Shi Changlin, the second son of the Shi family you mentioned. He is also my former grandfather in name."
Xu Hanshan opened his mouth wide. He really didn't expect that the person he had sought refuge with would have such a background.
"Old Man Shi is actually your grandfather. No, he is definitely not your biological grandfather. Because when he escaped, his vital organs were damaged."
Xiushui's ears moved, the case was solved, but his life was damaged.
"But my so-called uncle is indeed his biological son, so?"
"I know a little about this. Although I was a few years younger than him back then, we were both from major families, so I paid some attention to their affairs.
Especially since our several major families were suddenly in ruins at that time, so we paid more attention to it.
Although the Shi family was in decline and was secretly dealt with by someone, as the son of the Shi family, he still had many maids.
He even keeps several stunningly beautiful women outside. That child must have been left behind when his family was exterminated.”
"You said that the Shi family was exterminated back then?"
Xiushui grabbed another point.
"Yes, the Shi family was wiped out overnight. Logically, Shi Qingshan should have died as well. But he suddenly appeared in front of us some time ago after so many years.
Moreover, he has contacted the person who is controlling us. We have no choice but to let him in even though we know that his sudden contact with us is not a good thing.
"How many families are under control?"
Xiushui listened and analyzed the situation. She always felt that the person who controlled them seemed to be plotting something.
"The Xu family, the Mu family, the Luo family, the Shi family. As for your Wen family, there were rumors that you were exterminated back then. And the Feng family, that's royal bloodline, so it's unclear whether they were controlled or not. So we count your two families as those that were not under our control."
"Xu Qingshan, no, Shi Qingshan, has always wanted the descendants of the Wen family to have more offspring. As far as I know, there are also people from the Mo family of Longqing Kingdom who really want the Mo family and the Mu family to be friends. Do you know anything about this?"
Xu Hanshan was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. Since I was brought here fifty years ago, I've rarely been able to go back.
I’m not too clear about a lot of the news out there.”
Xiushui knew that she would not be able to get any more secrets out of this person.
But this time it was considered a success, at least an underground entertainment venue that did all kinds of evil was eradicated.
"You are from one of the major families. Have you ever heard of secrets like the Space Stone, the Space-Time Mirror, and the Love Flower?"
Hearing these names, Xu Hanshan's expression changed drastically...
