Er Zhuang was afraid that he wouldn't get the money, so he let them in.
A group of people came in with weapons to rob, and one of them stabbed the pillow with a hoe.
"Brother, it's empty!"
Many people shouted at the same time, "No one!"
Someone went out and brought in a handful of firewood, and when he shone it into the house, he found that everyone who had moved in that day was gone.
"Er Zhuang, did you hide the person? Where is the person?"
Er Zhuang was confused: "Why should I hide them? I didn't even know you were coming to rob me at night."
"Hey! I just don't believe it. There are more than a dozen living people on both sides. How can they disappear out of thin air?"
"By the way, didn't the family next door host a whole house? What about the family of Daniu?"
A man ran in and asked them, "Brothers, have you seen anyone? There is no one in Da Niu's house."
It's amazing, it's haunted.
Not a single living person was left.
At this time, more than a dozen living people were following the woman into a remote cave.
"Just call me Si Niang."
She had a great skill in embroidery, and her embroidered works were even selected as tribute.
But in this place, no one cares.
They bought them to do housework, farm work and give birth to children.
Worse than pigs and dogs.
She introduced softly, "When you came, they moved everyone there."
"Every time outsiders come to this village, the newcomers are placed here."
“Only those who have been here for a long time, have had children, and they feel they have voluntarily stayed can be outside.”
But who said that you would be willing to stay after giving birth to a child?
It was her motherly love that prevented her from strangling those children to death.
But she could only pretend to be willing.
The cave was dark and cold in winter, but those people could not have been considerate enough to prepare charcoal fire.
They could only hug each other for warmth.
"found it."
A strange voice appeared in their ears. Perhaps the guests who came to the village had left and they were going to be taken back?
In order to prevent them from being frightened if they rushed in rashly, the censor asked the woman who led the way to go in and explain the situation.
Si Niang walked in and explained the current situation: "They are government officials, and they are here to rescue us."
"Let's go quickly, this is a rare opportunity."
She thought it would go smoothly, but she didn't expect someone to object.
"People in government offices cannot be trusted. Last time I ran out to file a complaint, I was brought back by the bailiffs."
“Who knows if they are deceiving us or if they are testing us.”
After hearing this, the others also became confused. If they ran away and were caught again, they would be beaten and locked in a dog cage.
That place was definitely not meant for locking people up. One couldn't even stretch one's arms and legs. One could only curl up with knees bent and back hunched. There was no room to even change posture.
Wait until they remember and then release them.
Maybe it will be several days later.
There is no food to eat.
Soon people couldn't hold on any longer.
The only one who escaped and survived was the woman who spoke.
But some people still stood up and said: "What's the difference between staying here and dying? I'm willing to take a chance."
Gradually, more people chose to leave.
But someone hesitated again.
"Even if I go back, what will happen?"
"We've been missing for so long that our reputation has long been lost."
The censor and his men stood outside for a while, listening to the voices inside, and looked up at the position of the moon: "It's about 12:00 p.m., right?"
He walked in directly: "Ladies, those who are willing to leave with us, please come out. Those who are not willing can continue to stay here. Time is running out. It will be difficult to get out safely if you are late."
The main force hasn't arrived yet, so he only brought some capable fighters this time. But if they run into that group of unruly people, and they have to protect so many weak women, it will be impossible for them to remain unscathed.
Now they are no longer troubled.
They all came out one by one, but the cave was pitch black, and it was still dark outside.
They are groping their way forward, trying their best to gain hope for themselves.
The censor didn't expect that two more people chose to stay inside.
"My family has strict rules. When I go back, they will definitely despise me for not being innocent and will directly drown me in the pond. If I stay here, at least I can still survive."
The censor did not force it. He was ordered to save people, not to force people to die.
If he had taken two fewer people out, His Majesty would not have blamed him.
It was a difficult journey in the dark. The girls had not eaten enough and were starving all day long. They had no strength and some of them fell down from time to time.
But no one said a word, and no one complained of being tired.
They are all working hard towards their own tomorrow.
Seeing the people from a distance, the county magistrate came forward and said, "Censor, now that the people have been rescued, go and have a rest. The rest is up to me."
After finding that there was no one there, Er Zhuang suddenly remembered the wife he had bought. She did not eat from the same table as them, and she was not drugged, so she might hear the noise.
But when I looked again, the person was gone.
"That damn bitch has run away again. When she comes back this time, I'll just break her legs and tie her to the bed to let her give birth."
Finally someone smarter figured out something.
"Go lock those women up in their caves!"
“Are they the government officials here to rescue people?”
Someone snorted, "Come on, have you forgotten? My brother and his brother-in-law are both squad leaders."
"Totally impossible."
Even after he was captured, the man was still shouting, "Captains, my brother is the leader of your squad!"
"We're all family!"
"You guys caught the wrong guy!"
"Haven't you been ignoring us?"
The villagers and everyone were surprised to see him being arrested suddenly.
Is buying a wife a crime?
They always thought it was normal.
Some people shouted confidently: "Why are you arresting us?"
"We bought our wives with our own money. We can sleep with them whenever we want, beat them whenever we want, and kill them whenever we want."
"Those who were bought into our home are ours. Why are you arresting us?"
A young and tender-looking constable kicked him indignantly, knocking him to the ground. "You bastard, I'm going to hit you if I want to. Why don't you bark one more time?"
The man who was punching and kicking the woman immediately fell silent.
The young detective also very fairly kicked another person who said that his relative was the squad leader.
He slapped his face hard, and his rough, dark face turned red.
"Where's the squad leader?"
"If he protects the trafficking of decent women, you can ask him in prison whether he is still the leader."
When the crimes were finally settled, except for the children, few other people in Yushan had killed anyone, and almost all of them were sentenced to death.
But the censor said that the emperor wanted to transport these people to the capital for execution.
The county magistrate guessed that this group of people might have offended some important person of great status.
The rescued women were also sent back home.
But will you be happy if you escape from the devil's den?
