Chapter 4: Killing and Demonstrating the Power of the City God
Soon, the four servants did as Jia Cong said.

He called in more than a dozen housekeepers and servants outside the courtyard and made them stand in a row under the wall of the courtyard.

Jia Cong was sitting on a chair, with Yingchun’s wet nurse, Wang Ma, kneeling below him.

As life and death were at stake, the four servants did not care about offending anyone.

“Mrs. Wang, do you have anything else to say?”

“Master Cong, I originally came here from the Wang family as a maid with the second wife.”

“My son Wang Zhu is also the steward of the mansion. Even if there is to be a punishment, it should be ordered by the old lady herself.”

Nanny Wang saw Jia Cong suddenly kill someone with treacherous means.

At this point, he was already trembling with fear, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.

“The steward Wang Zhu? What a coincidence!”

“You two, go and bring the couple from Wang Zhu’s family here. I want to have a talk with them today.”

Jia Cong casually pointed at two servants.

“Yes, Third Master Cong!”

The two servants accepted the order with bitter faces.

A quarter of an hour later, the steward Wang Zhu and his wife were brought over by the servant.

As soon as Wang Zhu’s wife entered the door, she started to complain first.

“Master Cong, you are being unreasonable today. My mother just borrowed the second young lady’s jewelry temporarily and will return it in a few days.”

“Count it up, everyone in the family, whose mother or nurse doesn’t take advantage of the master’s brothers and sisters to get more benefits, but our second young lady is just like this…”

“If I punish my mother-in-law for this today, I’m afraid all the servants in the mansion will not accept it!”

It was obvious that the two servants had secretly explained the whole story on the way here.

“Do you think I came here to reason with you?”

“Do you think you are worthy enough for me to explain things to you personally?” Jia Cong had an indifferent expression and sharp eyes.

“Where is Wang Er?”

“My subordinate is here!”

With the blessing of divine power, the newly promoted ghost soldier commander appeared in broad daylight with twenty-four ghost soldiers last night.

The ghostly aura on his body was enveloped by divine power.

From the outside, he looked like a soldier wearing ferocious armor.

The treacherous means shocked everyone present again.

Jia Cong’s image became more mysterious and terrifying.

“Catch him and beat him to death!”

Jia Cong leaned back in his chair and waved gently.

“Yes!”

The six ghost soldiers first brought Yingchun’s wet nurse and Wang Zhu’s couple before Jia Cong.

Then he used ghost energy to conjure six sticks in his hands and attacked at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

Under the protection of Jia Cong’s divine power, ordinary ghost soldiers appeared in broad daylight, just like warriors.

He has reached the seventh level of body building strength and his arms have a strength of 700 kilograms.

One blow from the stick will break tendons and bones!
He died on the spot after two sticks!

……

“The master of the mansion said it was not too much, but it was not too little either.”

“I don’t care what you do in other people’s yards!”

“But in my second sister’s courtyard, if you dare to bully my second sister, you will be weak.”

“I, Jia Cong, am not good at literature, nor martial arts. I only know one thing.”

“That’s murder!”

He casually ordered his ghost soldiers to beat the three men to death with sticks, and Jia Cong did it as if he were crushing three ants on the road.

His expression was indifferent and his tone was calm, but it matched the four corpses on the ground.

But it made all the servants in the yard shudder.

The second branch of the Rongguo Mansion is now in charge, and nominally the housekeepers of the mansion are Mr. Lian and his wife from the first branch.

But everyone knows that this is just Mrs. Wang’s trick.

Wang Zhu’s family was originally Mrs. Wang’s dowry, and they were the family members of the Wang Mansion.

He is considered to be somewhat respectable in the mansion.

Now a family of three was beaten to death.

“Something like this happened in my second sister’s courtyard, and you didn’t come in to protect her, and you didn’t go to inform the elders in the mansion.”

“Instead you’re just watching the fun outside. What’s the point of asking you to wait?”

“The four of you will carry out the execution. Each of you will be beaten with five strokes. If it happens again, you will be beaten to death!” This time, the executioners were four servants, not the ghost soldiers.

Jia Cong still needs these people to publicize what happened today, otherwise what is the point of establishing his authority?

The dull sound of sticks hitting each other echoed in the courtyard.

At first the four servants felt a little reluctant, but then they thought about it.

Mr. Cong Sanye showed such a skill today. Even if the family is divided in the future, his rapid rise to prominence is just around the corner.

Why not take this opportunity to show off?
So he decided to surrender and started to fight him, one stick after another became more severe.

……

After two sticks of incense
The four servants knelt respectfully.

None of the servants in the yard could stand up.

“Reporting to the Third Master, two women and a maidservant could not endure the caning and have died.”

“well done!”

Jia Cong nodded approvingly.

Without waiting for the four servants to express their loyalty, he continued.

“If you become a slave again in your next life, remember, don’t be a disobedient servant.”

As soon as the words fell, four sword energies flew out and pierced into the foreheads of the four people.

Join the team?

Are these few people worthy?
There is no need to win people’s hearts!
Shinto is mysterious. Is it not good to train ghost soldiers, or is it not good to confer titles on subordinate gods?
Others were just watching the fun outside the yard, but these five people were watching from inside.

From the moment Jia Cong walked into the yard, the fate of the five people was determined.

It was a great blessing from the gods that Jia Cong allowed them to live a little longer.

……

This time, everyone in the courtyard was really frightened.

A hot-tempered and reckless man is not scary!
What’s scary is that his methods are treacherous, his moods are unpredictable, and he even likes killing.

This is also the effect that Jia Cong wants to achieve today.

“Wang Er, order people to throw these people out and dump their bodies into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs.”

“From now on, send someone to guard the gate of my second sister’s courtyard day and night.”

“If what happened today happens again, I will hold you accountable!”

“Yes, I obey!”

Wang Er hurriedly ordered the ghost soldiers to start cleaning up the courtyard, and Jia Cong then turned his attention to the three sisters.

Yingchun’s face turned pale.

Tanchun behaved better. Even though she was terrified, she did not forget to cover the eyes of the six-year-old Xichun with her hands.

In fact, it’s okay not to cover it.

Jia Cong had already used his divine power to secretly cover and obscure the bloody scene from Xiao Xichun’s vision.

“Second sister, it’s okay.”

“If any servant dares to be disrespectful to you again, just call your brother over.”

“It’s a disaster, Cong’er. That old lady Wang has some say in front of the old lady.”

“You just killed their whole family…”

Yingchun, however, looked flustered.

One last bite.

“Brother Cong, if the old lady asks you about it later, just say that I gave the order to have them killed.”

“At least I still have some face in front of the old lady, so I won’t be punished too severely. At most I will be grounded.”

Since the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has flourished and poisoned people’s minds.

Nowadays, most of the young ladies from the powerful families in Daqian never go out of the house.

Yingchun didn’t even know that there were extraordinary ways of spiritual practice in the world.

I only know that in the Jia family where I grew up, Grandmother Jia is the eldest.

The next is Mrs. Wang, the head of the second house.

Now, there is no doubt that both of them have been offended.

In order to prevent Jia Cong from being punished, he even took all the blame on himself.

It seemed a little silly, but it made Jia Cong feel warm at heart.

This pure love cannot be faked!

He gently pulled Yingchun’s hand, and some divine power surged.

Let Yingchun calm down.
