Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"I wanted to ask some servants for directions. But strangely, there was no one around. I was terrified at the time, and as I walked, I tried my best to recall the way I came. I seemed to have walked through a garden and passed a corner gate, but I found that the road was getting more and more remote. Until I heard voices coming from the front."

When she said this, deep fear emerged in Zhu Rong's eyes, and she couldn't help shaking all over.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Ke'er opened her arms and hugged her, forcing the spiritual energy in her body out of her body and making it linger around Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong's fear gradually subsided, and she continued, "I was very happy at the time, thinking that I could finally find someone to ask for directions. I followed the sound and walked over. It was a remote courtyard. The gate was ajar. The closer I got, the louder the noise inside. I suddenly felt a little uneasy. I could hear that the chaotic sounds were mixed with screams and wails."

"At that time, as if possessed by some mysterious force, I moved closer to the crack in the door, looked inside, and saw a nightmare that I will never forget in my life."

Zhu Rong burst into tears.

If time could go back, she would definitely not be driven by curiosity and approach the gate.

"What did you see?" Night Breeze's cold voice rang out.

"I... I saw many people inside with their hands and feet tied with hemp ropes. They were in tattered clothes, covered with scars and skinny. Some knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, while others cursed. There were several shirtless men standing around. They were wearing the uniform of the Jia Mansion's guards, whipping several people tied to the pillars with whips in their hands."

"The thugs were beating the tied people and cursing, 'Do you dare to run? If you run again, I'll break your legs!' At this time, a man with a sinister look said viciously, 'Turn the leader into a human pig and let everyone watch! See if they dare to run again!'"

"The other thugs started to make a fuss. One said he would skin the one who escaped, and another said he would gut the other. Then..."

Zhu Rong broke down and burst into tears.

"They are not human! They are a group of demons! They..."

Qiu Shui, who was accompanying Lu Ke'er, said in a trembling voice: "Did they really do that?"

"Yes! It was so tragic. The ground was covered with blood! Broken limbs, body parts, and colorful internal organs were scattered all over the ground. My nose was filled with a strong smell of blood. The wailing of those people when they were tortured still echoes in my ears. I almost forgot where I was at the time. I screamed and ran away. Then, it seemed that some people were chasing me. My heart was beating so fast and my eyes were black. I couldn't stand it! I really couldn't stand it!" Zhu Rong grabbed her hair with both hands and cried loudly, "They are demons, and the Jia family is a terrible hell! Why don't they get retribution? Why? Those who were tortured by them are so pitiful and miserable."

Ye Feng asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think those people who were kidnapped and killed are?"

Zhu Rong wiped her tears and sobbed, "They were dressed in rags, like beggars on the street."

Lu Ke'er was startled and looked at Ye Feng: "Could he really be a beggar? Could the recent disappearance of refugees in Xilin County be related to this Jia Mansion? However, what Xiaorong discovered happened half a year ago..."

"Could it be that there were no beggars missing half a year ago?" Ye Feng's eyes were gloomy, as if a terrifying storm was gathering in his eyes. "These beggars are just like refugees. They have no household registration, no identity, and almost no evidence to prove their existence."

Lu Ke'er shuddered: "So, the missing persons case happened half a year ago, or even earlier. How many people were harmed by this? Why did the Jia family kidnap those beggars and refugees? What did they want to do with them?"

Ye Feng glanced at Zuo Yi and said, "Check it out, check it out immediately!"

Zuo Yi responded respectfully: "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, the person disappeared.

Lu Ke'er blinked, always feeling that something was strange.

Zuo Yi seemed to be too respectful to Ye Feng.

She looked at Ye Feng again, and felt that Ye Feng's serious look was still quite intimidating. I guess Zuo Yi was also intimidated by his aura.

"The Jia family is very powerful. Miss Lu, I dare not say it out loud, actually I am afraid of dragging you down." Zhu Rong was very worried.

"Don't worry, we will be fine. You and your family will be fine too." Ye Feng said coldly, "The Jia family has committed many evil deeds and will not have a good ending."

A few people sat in Huya's house for a while and left after half an hour.

Instead of riding in a carriage, they walked through the streets on foot.

Along the way, Lu Ke'er felt heavy-hearted.

She was horrified and hated the inhuman cruelty of the Jia family, and gained a deeper understanding of the world she lived in where human lives were worthless.

"Ke'er, what are you thinking about?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask when he saw that she looked so depressed.

"Xiao Xiao, I just feel sad for the people here." Lu Ke'er sighed, "They live at the bottom of society. Not to mention food and clothing, even their lives are not guaranteed. Tell me, what are the emperor and officials of this country doing?"

Ye Feng's face froze.

"If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes." Lu Ke'er said, "But changing this situation won't happen overnight. If those in power don't care about the people, how can they govern for the people?"

"Governing for the people?" Night Breeze murmured.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came up from behind.

"It was checked so quickly?" Lu Ke'er was very surprised.

"Haha, I have some...um, friends, and I asked them for help." Zuo Yi replied.

He has ordered his secret guards to investigate the matter.

In addition, he just received news that Chu Ying and Chu Xiong, who had gone to investigate the Soul-Searching Pavilion and the Lost Souls some time ago, had just returned.

"Master Xiao, two of my friends have come to Xilin County. They learned that I am working as a guard at Miss Lu's house, so they want to visit you and Miss Lu."

Ye Feng's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Ke Er and I will meet your two friends at noon."

Zuo Yi's mouth twitched, but he said seriously, "Thank you for your honor, sir. I will go ahead and inform those two friends."

Without waiting for Lu Ke'er to react, he abandoned the carriage and left.

Lu Ke'er glared at Ye Feng: "Why don't you ask me what I think? How can you make a decision for me?"

Ye Feng was stunned: "No matter what we do, don't we do it together?"

Lu Ke'er was as stunned as he was.

She couldn't refute it.

However, there was a feeling of depression in her chest, which made her feel anxious.

"Forget it this time. Next time, don't make decisions for me. Xiao Xiao, this won't happen again." Lu Ke'er decided that she still had to make some things clear to Ye Feng.

No matter how close, she doesn't like relationships without boundaries.

Ye Feng's eyes darkened slightly.
