Jiang Ning killed them all with his sword amid their family members’ screams, leaving no one alive. Only the middle-aged man in fancy clothes and Xu Heqing were left.

Jiang Ning’s sword was against Xu Heqing’s neck. As long as he stabbed forward with force, the old man would surely die.

“Good man! If we have something to say, let’s talk it over. Don’t use force!”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes screamed nervously upon seeing this.

When the servants saw their master fall into Jiang Ning’s hands, they dared not move forward.

Jiang Ning had a sneer on his face, and the tip of the sword had already pierced into the old man Xu Heqing’s neck. The stinging pain made the old man look frightened.

After hearing what the middle-aged man in fancy clothes said, Jiang Ning did not reply to him, but instead took Xu Heqing into the courtyard.

He just vaguely heard a cry for help from somewhere in the direction of the house.

“Good man! Let’s talk it over nicely. Don’t do anything. If you kill my father, it will be a real disaster. We can discuss what you want.”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes followed Jiang Ning nervously, constantly persuading him.

However, the other party did not respond to him, but walked towards the woodshed, which made the middle-aged man a little confused.

Jiang Ning escorted Xu Heqing to the door of the woodshed of Xu’s mansion, only to see that the door of the woodshed was locked with three locks hanging on it.

Cries for help and shouts were coming from inside.

Jiang Ning nodded his chin and pointed towards the woodshed.

“Open.”

“Okay, okay, let’s open it. Don’t be impulsive.”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes nodded hurriedly and then yelled at the group of servants who followed him.

“Are you blind? Open the woodshed!”

A servant rushed out, took out the key from his pocket and hurriedly opened the four locks on the woodshed door.

I heard some noise outside and then heard someone knocking on the door in the woodshed.

As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed out.

This is a young woman.

At this time, the young woman was dirty, her clothes were scratched all over, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried before.

The young woman’s first reaction after running out was to escape. She had done this many times, even though she knew she couldn’t escape.

But when she was about to escape this time, she was shocked by the scene outside and subconsciously stopped running.

After seeing her come out, Jiang Ning did not say anything, but continued to look into the woodshed.

There are still people inside.

During this time, the people inside seemed to realize that the woman who had escaped earlier had not been caught, and the other people in the woodshed also ran out.

The first person to come out was also a woman, followed by a little girl, and then a few more girls ran out, and behind them also some young children ran out, both boys and girls, more than a dozen in total.

These children and women and girls were all dirty like the young woman before, and there was fear in their eyes.

However, after they ran out, they were also shocked by the scene outside.

I saw a young man holding a sharp sword against the devil’s throat, watching them run out of the woodshed, surrounded by the group of evil people.

Seeing this scene, the children and women subconsciously stopped where they were.

“Sir, please save us.”

The young woman who ran out first was the first to react. She immediately ran over and knelt down towards Jiang Ning, tears in her eyes.

“Everyone go.”

Jiang Ning gestured to them towards the gate of the compound and asked them to leave.

But the young woman shook her head and cried, “Sir, it’s not just us. There are also some sisters and children in the cellar who have been captured by them. Please save them too, I beg you.”

The young woman kept kowtowing to Jiang Ning.

“lead the way.”

Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed when he heard this, but he didn’t say much and just let her lead the way.

The young woman was delighted and nodded quickly, then stood up and ran towards the backyard. Jiang Ning followed behind with Xu Heqing.

The women and children who had run out did not dare to run out alone when they saw this scene, and they all followed behind.

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes frowned upon seeing this scene, but there was nothing he could do so he had to follow him into the backyard. At the same time he cursed in his heart those good-for-nothings in the government office for not coming after such a long time.

Arriving at the backyard, the young woman took Jiang Ning directly to an open space, pointed to one of the open spaces and said, “Sir, they are inside.”

“No, you can’t open it!”

Xu Heqing, who had been silent and held back by Jiang Ning’s sword, finally couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly spoke up to stop him.

However, Jiang Ning ignored him. He pointed his sword forward to silence him and then looked at the group of servants.

“Open it.”

The servants hesitated and dared not step forward. The middle-aged man in fancy clothes gritted his teeth and said, “Open it!”

After hearing his words, two servants came to the open space, found the right position and lifted up a piece of ground. Underneath was an iron door locked with a chain.

After the two servants unlocked the iron door and lifted it up, they said to the inside, “Everyone come out.”

Not long after, a young child about eight or nine years old climbed out timidly.

It’s a boy with a handsome appearance.

Then three or four figures crawled out from inside, two women and a girl.

These people had numb eyes and were filled with fear of their surroundings.

“Son.”

The young woman knelt down in front of Jiang Ning again and cried, “We are all civilians from Xi’an Prefecture and nearby towns. They captured us and brought us into the Xu Mansion for their entertainment. If we didn’t obey, they would beat and scold us, lock us in the woodshed and not let us leave, and not give us food. I was captured three days ago, and before I came in, several sisters had been tortured to death by them.”

At this point, the young woman suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Xu Heqing, saying, “This devil not only likes to play with women, but also likes to capture children and bring them to the mansion for his pleasure. He doesn’t even let boys go. Those who are taught a lesson and are obedient are locked up in the cellar, and those of us who are disobedient are locked up in the woodshed.”

Then he pointed at the middle-aged man in fancy clothes and said with hatred: “This man loves to torture people. Several sisters were tortured to death by him!”

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale and he said nothing.

The young woman pointed at the servants again and said with gritted teeth, “He, him, and them, this group of people are all accomplices. Some of them said that as long as we obey them, they will make our lives easier. If we don’t obey, they will beat and scold us, and even force us. One sister refused to obey and was strangled to death by him!”

She pointed at one of the servants, who stepped back in fear.

The young woman’s voice was sobbing and full of hatred.

“Please, sir, save us.”

At this time, the other women who were captured also reacted and quickly knelt down to ask Jiang Ning for help. The children also knelt down and begged Jiang Ning to save them.

Jiang Ning remained silent, his eyes becoming even colder.

“Good man, let’s talk it over. Put down your sword first so we can discuss it.”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes seemed to be afraid that Jiang Ning would act impulsively, so he kept trying to persuade him.

Jiang Ning didn’t look at him, but said to the women and children: “Let’s go, leave here.”

“Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.”

The young woman was filled with joy and tears when she heard this. She kept kowtowing to Jiang Ning to express her gratitude. Then she stood up and quickly pulled up the other women and children who had been captured and tried to leave. However, the exit was blocked by the group of servants.

“Let them go!”

Seeing these servants being so ignorant, the middle-aged man in fancy clothes roared.

The servants then made way.

Seeing that there was hope of escaping, they all showed joy on their faces. They did not dare to stay for a moment and ran out quickly without even looking back.

A few women wanted to turn around and ask Jiang Ning’s name but were stopped by the young woman from before.

She was afraid that Jiang Ning’s name would be known by these people and they would take revenge on her.

“Good man! I’ve already let them go. How about you let my father go?”

“Don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk it over. Don’t let these cheap bastards delay you.”

“You can ask for anything you want. Money? I’ll give you three thousand taels of silver. Power? My family is a noble family. It won’t be difficult for me to get you a job in the government. We can discuss anything you want.”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Ning.

“Humph.”

Jiang Ning sneered and thrust the sword forward under his nervous gaze.

Xu Heqing’s throat was pierced and he fell to the ground, screaming weakly.

“you!!!”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes opened his eyes wide and glared at Jiang Ning.

“How dare you kill my father? You actually killed my father for those lowly bastards who are worse than pigs and dogs!”

“So what if I kill him?”

Jiang Ning said with a sneer.

“you……”

The middle-aged man pointed at Jiang Ning, his fingers trembling constantly, but the next moment Jiang Ning rushed towards him with a sword raised, kicked him to the ground, and pointed the sword at him.

The middle-aged man screamed and looked at Jiang Ning with fear in his eyes.

“No, don’t kill me.”

Jiang Ning looked at him sternly and sneered.

“You called them pigs and dogs?”

“Who is the pig? Who is the dog? They are all human beings. You treat them as slaves, beat, kill and insult them at will. Then I can also treat you as a slave and beat and kill you at will.”

“Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can bully them?”

“You think you are high and mighty, and you regard the common people as tools for your amusement, pigs and dogs. Power is your tool, and you have absolute power over everything. You treat them as lambs to be slaughtered, and you kill and play with them at will. Now I treat you as lambs to be slaughtered, and I can also kill and play with you at will. What’s wrong with that?”

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes heard this and said in disbelief: “How can those pigs and dogs be the same as us? We are nobles, and we have noble blood flowing in our bodies. This is our birthright. Aren’t they just letting us play with them as toys?”
