At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

The Black and White Impermanence moved like ghosts, swiftly shuttling through the crowd. The chain claws in their hands flashed with cold light, dancing like two nimble poisonous snakes, breaking through the enemy's defenses at an astonishing speed. Every swing was accompanied by a gust of wind, making it difficult for the enemy to dodge. As shrill screams rang out, corpses fell one after another, and blood stained the ground red.

At the same time, Nangong Lin stood quietly aside, like a silent god of war. His eyes were cold and firm, without any fluctuations, as if he had no feelings about the killing in front of him. He was like an indifferent bystander, just watching all this happen quietly, unmoved.

In fact, Nangong Lin knew very well that the guards in front of him were just some insignificant minions, and there was really no need to waste his energy to deal with them. He knew that his strength far exceeded these people, so he decided to stay calm and wait for a truly powerful opponent to appear. At this time, he quietly observed the situation around him, trying to find a breakthrough point to defeat the enemy at a faster speed.

Nangong Lin still kept an eye on Meng Po in the fierce battle. As a master of poison, Meng Po was fully capable of dealing with these ordinary enemies easily. Therefore, he did not need to worry about Meng Po's safety, let alone help her personally.

In addition, the outstanding performance of the Black and White Impermanence also made Nangong Lin quite satisfied. The chain claws in their hands were extremely powerful, and they could easily defeat several enemies in just a few moves. Such an efficient attack method and powerful combat power undoubtedly gave them a great advantage.

"Master, Yue Niang has been tied up by me. What should we do next?" Meng Po's voice reached Nangong Lin's ears.

Nangong Lin turned his head and looked at the men hiding in the corner, with a hint of indifference in his eyes. He knew that these people were from the city, so he asked coldly: "Do you know the situation here? Tell me everything you know." His voice was so cold that it seemed to penetrate people's souls.

Those people were trembling all over, their lips were quivering, but they dared not make a sound. They were so scared that they almost wet their pants, and secretly regretted why they came to this terrible place.

One of them finally mustered up the courage and stammered, "We...we are just passing by and we really don't know anything! Please let us go!"

However, Nangong Lin ignored his plea for mercy, but said coldly: "Since you don't know, there is no need to stay here." After that, he waved his hand to signal Meng Po to take these people away.

Those people were terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy, but Nangong Lin remained unmoved. Meng Po walked up, grabbed their collars, and dragged her out of the room.

As the door closed, only Meng Po and Yue Niang were left in the room. Yue Niang's face was as pale as paper, and her body was trembling slightly. She knew that her fate was in the hands of the man in front of her.

However, one of the men still mustered up the courage to speak: "Sir, we are only here to enjoy ourselves following the orders of the prefect's son, and we know nothing about other things. Please let us go!" His voice was tearful and his face was full of fear.

Another man also echoed, "Yes, sir, we really just come here to have fun, and we don't know anything about what's going on here. Please have mercy on us and let us live!" His body kept shaking, and his eyes revealed despair and pleading.

The last man knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, we are innocent people, please don't implicate us. We are willing to cooperate with the investigation, but please give us a chance." His forehead was broken and blood stained the ground red.

Nangong Lin looked at the performance of these people and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He knew that these people were cowards and would never have the courage to participate in such a thing. But in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he decided to let them go.

Thinking of this, Nangong Lin's eyes turned cold, he turned around and said to Meng Po: "Let these guys be interrogated. If it is found that they have any connection with this matter, they will be severely punished immediately!" After that, he no longer paid attention to the men, but turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes fixed on the direction where Yue Niang left, as if he wanted to see his figure through the darkness.

Hearing this, Meng Po nodded, then dragged Yue Niang to them and said coldly: "Look at your Yue Niang." As she said that, she threw Yue Niang, who was beaten like a pig's head, to the ground, allowing the men to see clearly what the so-called goddess in their hearts looked like now.

The men stared at the woman on the ground with their eyes wide open, their eyes full of disbelief. The woman's face was bruised and swollen beyond recognition. Her beautiful face had long disappeared, replaced by a hideous and terrifying look that was horrifying. They retreated in fear, their faces as pale as paper, cold sweat on their foreheads, and expressions of fear and disgust on their faces.

Meng Po looked at the men in front of him. They were trembling with fear in their eyes. He said coldly, "Are you the rich young men from Qizhou City? Tell me about the situation in Qizhou City, and then leave here quickly."

One of the men replied tremblingly, "Yes, thank you for not killing me. The prefect of Qizhou City is a lecher. He will forcefully snatch away any woman he likes, whether she is married or unmarried. When he gets tired of playing with her, he will send the women to Xiaoyaoju in the ghost market for us rich young men to play with. We are also forced to do so! If we don't spend our days in Xiaoyaoju, we will have to pay high taxes, and our wives and daughters may even be sent here. After receiving the Yin-Yang Order, we can't refuse and can only come here obediently."

His voice was trembling, filled with endless fear and despair. Meng Po listened quietly, and a surge of anger surged in her heart. It was outrageous that this prefectural son was so reckless and treated innocent women as playthings!

Meng Po's eyes became more fierce, and he asked coldly: "Then why don't you resist? Are you willing to accept it?"

Another man smiled bitterly and said, "We have thought about resisting, but the prefect's son has powerful forces behind him, and we are powerless to resist. Moreover, if we dare to resist, not only will we be killed, but our families will also be implicated. Therefore, we can only swallow our anger and hope to save our lives."

Meng Po's anger grew stronger and stronger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! This kind of person is simply a scum among scums! I will never let him go!"

After saying that, Meng Po turned and left, leaving several men trembling in fear. They knew that this mysterious woman must have extraordinary strength and might really be able to change the current situation of Qizhou City. However, they also understood that no matter how powerful Meng Po was, it would be difficult to completely change the darkness of this city. But at least, now they saw a glimmer of hope...

"Okay, get out of here!" Meng Po roared angrily.

"Master, what should we do with these people?" Black and White Impermanence pointed at the women huddled in the corner and shivered, and asked cautiously.

"Let all the innocent people here go. Then clean up this place." Nangong Lin said lightly, then walked towards the gambling table and unceremoniously collected all the banknotes and silver on it.

"When did our master become so greedy for money? He even collected the money himself..." Black and White Impermanence looked at their usually aloof master and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"This is the hard-earned money of the people. We can't let these bastards get away with it. Let's go to the warehouse to see if there is more." Nangong Lin said as he walked towards the warehouse. Seeing this, Black and White Impermanence hurried to follow.

After entering the storehouse, the three of them saw the room full of gold, silver and treasures, and their eyes lit up: "Master, there are at least millions of taels of silver here, come and see!" It turned out that in the inner room of Xiaoyaoju, there were more than a dozen boxes of heavy silver and money. The two of them couldn't wait to open the boxes, and were instantly stunned by the wealth they saw.

"Take away all the valuables here." Nangong Lin looked at the piles of silver in the warehouse and ordered expressionlessly. His voice was low and firm, with an irresistible majesty.

The four of them acted quickly, and they skillfully searched for valuable items, and soon found three trailers. Three trailers of silver were carefully placed on the trailers, representing the accumulation and exploitation of Xiaoyaoju over the years.

After finishing all this, they went to the interior of Xiaoyaoju. As soon as they entered the room, a pungent fragrance hit their noses, making them feel dizzy. The room was decorated extremely luxuriously, with magnificent decorations and exquisite furniture, all showing the owner's pursuit of enjoyment. However, at this moment, the room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, making people feel suffocated.

Many women were sitting there crying, their eyes revealing helplessness and fear, as if they had just experienced a nightmare. The madam was also very frightened, her face was as pale as paper, her body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock just now.

Without saying a word, Meng Po killed the old procuress who came in to greet them. Her movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation. Blood splattered on the ground, forming a shocking red. The old procuress stared at her chest with wide eyes, in disbelief, and then fell in a pool of blood.

Meng Po looked at the scene in front of her expressionlessly and said to the women coldly, "You all go." Her voice was emotionless, as if she was announcing an irreversible decision.

However, some women were still immersed in fear, unable to extricate themselves, and continued to cry. They seemed to have forgotten everything around them, and only remembered the horror that had just happened. They hugged their bodies tightly, trying to comfort their hearts.

At this time, the Black and White Impermanence could not help but roared: "If you don't leave, I will kill people!" Their eyes were full of threats and anger, and they held their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

Hearing these words, the women came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream. They looked at the Black and White Impermanence in horror, and felt the strong murderous intent emanating from them. So, they all stood up and hurriedly fled this terrible place, not daring to look back.

When everyone heard this, their bodies trembled involuntarily, looks of horror appeared on their faces, and they knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged for mercy with fear and despair in their voices: "Don't kill us, we will leave immediately." After saying that, they began to pack up their things as if they had just woken up from a dream, panicked and nervous, as if their lives would be in danger if they stayed for another second.

"Okay, sir, we will never do it again. Thank you for saving our lives." As they spoke, they looked at Meng Po cautiously, fearing that she would suddenly change her mind.

"No need to thank me, thank this young man if you want to thank someone." Meng Po pointed at Nangong Lin who was standing next to her and said calmly.

Seeing this, Nangong Lin couldn't help but sigh that the fate of these women was really pitiful. He sighed and said, "Give each of them ten taels of silver and let them go!" There was a hint of pity and helplessness in his voice.

Meng Po nodded her head to show her agreement, then took out a silver ingot from her bosom and handed it to one of the women, saying to her: "Take this silver ingot to buy some food and drink, and find a safe place to hide. Go home after daybreak."

The woman took the silver, her eyes filled with tears. She said with gratitude: "Thank you, sir. I will definitely remember it in my heart." The other women also expressed their gratitude, their eyes full of hope and gratitude.

Seeing this, the other women followed suit, thanked Meng Po, and left. Meng Po and Black and White Impermanence returned to the carriage and changed into their original clothes. However, the aura they exuded at this moment was frightening. Especially in the dark night before dawn, it seemed even more eerie and terrifying.

Meng Po carefully put a wrinkled human skin mask on her face, as if it was a part of her life. Black and White Impermanence carefully drew hideous faces and applied pale makeup, making their faces look even more terrifying.

The three of them sat quietly beside the carriage, counting the silver in their hands while solemnly admonishing the women who came to collect the silver: "Remember this, we are ghost messengers from the underworld. When you return, do not do evil again. If anyone asks you about it, just say that you were saved by a ghost messenger."

"Are you really ghost messengers?" One of the women, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, looked up and down at the man in front of her, Nangong Lin, who was still handsome despite his full beard, and couldn't help asking.
