Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General
Chapter 93: Give me a reason not to kill you?
Seeing that Xia Qin ignored him, he continued, "I was originally the chief clerk of Hailing County, just a civil servant. I really have never stained the blood of the people of Daxia, so my crime does not deserve the death penalty!"
The man spoke with tears in his eyes, but he found that Xia Qin and Mo Ye were not looking at him, but looking behind him.
He turned around and saw a Japanese sword stabbing at him, with the tip of the sword entering from his back and coming out from his chest.
"You deserve to die..." A woman with her underwear half hanging off her body had bloodshot eyes and was muttering to herself.
As she spoke, she drew out her Japanese sword and slashed at the Japanese pirates again, repeating three words over and over again.
"You deserve to die... You deserve to die..."
At this time, the other two women also picked up the knives on the ground and continued to chop at the Japanese pirates who had just died.
Blood splattered all over them, but there was only endless hatred in their eyes.
Xia Qin wanted to go forward and put clothes on them, but was stopped by Mo Ye.
Mo Ye looked at the three women until they had finished venting.
"Do you want to continue killing the pirates?"
A tempting question.
Their answers are self-evident.
Mo Ye whistled.
Several men in black rushed into the lobby of the county government office in an instant.
Mo Ye pointed at the three women holding knives in their hands and said, "Take them back and let them have a good rest."
"Yes!"
Without any hesitation, several men in black carried the woman on their backs and walked out.
Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye, her eyes full of confusion: "Where are your people taking them?"
"A place where they can still live well." Mo Ye looked at the remaining women, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes. "You will know in a few days."
"Master, everything is resolved!" The Night Owl members checked the bodies on the battlefield.
Xia Qin was very satisfied with this action, but she still had some worry on her face: "I wonder how my brother and Brother Lu are doing."
"Don't worry, the Japanese pirates in Hailing County are nothing to worry about, not to mention your bamboo thunder," Mo Ye said with a relaxed look, "Xia Xia, just go back and wait for their good news."
Just as they were about to leave, someone came to report the situation: "Master, many bodies were found in the dungeon of the county government, and it seems that there are still a few alive."
"People held captive by the pirates?" Xia Qin thought about it and decided that they must be people worth saving. "Let's go and take a look!"
The dungeon was dim under the oil lamp. Through the rusty fence, Xia Qin could vaguely see a lot of corpses. It was unknown how long they had been dead, and many of them had already rotted.
The stench that filled the entire dungeon should be coming from these corpses that had been there for who knows how long. Xia Qin's stomach was churning.
"Master, the ones who are still alive are at the innermost part."
Mo Ye looked around vigilantly. There were more than twenty rooms separated by iron fences, and there were several corpses in almost every room. There were probably more than forty corpses in total.
"Save us, save us..."
In the innermost room, three people were still able to move, but they had been tortured beyond human form.
Mo Ye swung his sword and the iron chain broke.
"There is still hope!" Mo Ye quickly checked the pulse and wound and said to Xia Qin.
Xia Qin nodded and said to his subordinates beside him: "Carry it to the lobby of the county government office!"
Although Xiaoyu and other military doctors were not there, Mo Ye was a very good doctor, and Xia Qin was also very skilled in basic first aid.
They took out the alcohol they carried with them, first disinfected the three seriously injured people, then applied some wound medicine and performed a simple bandage.
Their injuries were so severe that their bones were exposed. They had long lost consciousness and showed no response during the treatment.
Except for the man who had just called for help, the other two were still in a coma, but after leaving the harsh environment of the dungeon, their breathing became much more stable.
"You, who are you?" the man who was still conscious asked weakly.
"I am the newly appointed governor of Jinghai City, Mu Jinyan, what is your name?"
"Mu Jinyan?" It was obvious that this man had been imprisoned for a long time and had no idea that Xia Qin had taken office, but he was still conscious. "Lord Mu, I am the lieutenant of Hailing County, Haifeng."
County lieutenant?
In the past few days, Xia Qin has learned about the official system of Daxia. The county lieutenant is in charge of public security and military preparations.
Judging from the tall stature of this man, he is the only one among the three who is still conscious after suffering such serious injuries. His physical fitness and martial arts should have been good before he was injured.
Seeing that he was in good health, Xia Qin asked, "Are the bodies in the dungeon the former officials of Hailing County?"
"Some are subordinate officials, and some are soldiers fighting against the Japanese invaders." Haifeng's already listless eyes looked even more desolate at this moment. "The court finally remembered this place."
Seeing that he was also holding on, Xia Qin whispered: "Hai County Lieutenant, have a good rest. Tomorrow I will learn more about the situation in this county."
"Yes, Lord Fu, thank you for saving me!"
During the time they were rescuing people, Mu Jinyu and Lu Shaoqing had already completed their respective tasks and rushed to the county government office.
"Brother, Brother Lu, how is the situation?"
Mu Jinyu shrugged: "The information is accurate, and with your bamboo thunder as a backup, there is no resistance and everything is resolved."
Lu Shaoqing also indicated that there was no problem.
Everything went as smoothly as she had imagined, so Xia Qin relaxed. But after a moment, she asked Mo Ye again, "Mo Ye, aren't there only these three places in Hailing County where there are Japanese pirates?"
"The Japanese are gone, but as for the Japanese pirates," Mo Ye said with a strange expression, "it depends on how you define them."
Xia Qin understood Mo Ye's expression.
She looked at the corpses of the Japanese pirates lying around, and her expression became solemn again.
"Are there any gentry or wealthy merchants in the county who have any dealings with the Japanese?"
"Of course there is. Besides, there is no need to inquire about this matter. The people in the county know it."
Xia Qin heard this and the murderous look in his eyes reappeared.
At this time, the sound of a large group of people came from afar.
"Master, we are here!"
It was Wu Baisheng who arrived on time with the anti-Japanese army.
"Wu Beijia, take your men and capture all the gentry and wealthy merchants in Hailing County who have funded the Japanese!"
Wu Baisheng took a look at the corpses in the county government office and knew that Xia Qin had really solved the problem of the Japanese pirates in Hailing County. Without any hesitation, he led his troops and arranged for his subordinates to capture those who were in collusion with the Japanese.
On the way, Wang Rulong looked worried, and finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Wu, did they really solve the Japanese pirates in Hailing County so quickly?"
"It's solved. The information from our secret sentry is correct. The county government office, the cotton and linen factory, and the dock, the three places where the Japanese pirates gathered, were all attacked. No one escaped."
Cen Hua looked at the still dark night sky and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect them to handle it so easily."
"Not only that," Wu Baisheng added, "Before they took action, the secret codes of several Japanese pirates' perimeters were all solved silently. If it weren't for the loud noise behind them, our people wouldn't have noticed their actions."
Several people fell silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Two hours later, the sky was already slightly bright.
More than a dozen well-dressed gentry and wealthy businessmen were taken to the county government compound.
"Assholes, what are you doing? My uncle is the governor of Yangzhou! I advise you to be sensible and let me go! Otherwise..."
The one who was shouting and struggling loudly was a young man about twenty-five years old.
He looked at Xia Qin, Mo Ye, Mu Jinyu and the others without any fear.
Xia Qin naturally didn't bother to pay attention to his barking.
She simply asked, "Have you funded the Japanese? Have you traded with them?"
"So what? This is a common thing. You can still..."
Blood spurted out, and this arrogant young man could no longer be arrogant.
"Collaborating with the Japanese and betraying the country, you should be executed according to the law, and your family property should be confiscated! All family members should be exiled!" Xia Qin looked at the remaining people, seemingly without much patience, "Do the rest of you have any good reasons to stay alive?"
"My Lord!" A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and phoenix eyes stood in front of Xia Qin, "In order to fight against the Japanese invaders! Please let us go, my Lord."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"As far as I know, the anti-Japanese army is short of military supplies and food. If you let us go, we are willing to give half of our property to fight against the Japanese!"
"That's not necessary. If we kill you, all your property can be used to fight the Japanese invaders." Xia Qin was not satisfied with this reason. "Brother Huo, drag him down and chop him off. Like the other Japanese invaders, hang his head outside the county government office for public display!"
"Please spare my life, my Lord! Please spare my life..."
The county government compound fell silent again, and Xia Qin waited for the next one.
"My Lord, if you kill us, the gentry and wealthy merchants in other places who have connections with the Japanese will know that they have no way out and will fight to the death with the Japanese," said a fat and big-eared wealthy merchant, blinking his eyes rapidly. "On the contrary, if you let us go, it will be much easier for you to recover other places."
Xia Qin glanced at him. Although his face looked hateful, what he said seemed to make some sense.
However, she disagrees.
