"You two, father and son, are killing people and setting fires here, but you seem to be living a happy life. Why? Who gave you the right? Fish Leong?"

Qin Qiong pointed the gun at the old man and asked with a smile.

The old man was shaking and trembling as he began to answer Qin Qiong's questions.

Soon, Qin Qiong basically figured out what was going on...

This was once a prosperous country called Yu State, and their king of this generation was the fourth generation of Lahar.

However, the former royal court has now become a ruin.

They were invaded and razed to the ground by the brutal Hu tribe. The current Hu king, Raj, had invaded and razed the royal court. Therefore, the State of Yu had long been reduced to ashes, most of the royal family were displaced, and the people had lost their homes and hopes.

Most of the men in the Yu State had died in the battle to defend their homes. Therefore, after King Hu led his army to invade, the people in the state, especially the women, suffered extremely brutal torture.

After being captured, the remaining people were forced to become slaves of the Hu people and lost their freedom. They could only be forced to do the most arduous labor and lived like neither human nor ghost.

What made Qin Qiong even more speechless was that this old man and the bastard upstairs were actually also a slave!

But they, the servants, are also lucky to be servants, because their masters are more powerful and have become kings.

This place was originally a manor of a nobleman of the State of Yu. When the King of Hu came, the original owner of this place, whose country had been destroyed, simply knelt down and expressed their willingness to submit to the current King of Hu.

This small manor is just a small manor of his here. The people in the yard are the former servants and tenants.

The country was destroyed and most of the men died. When the army of King Hu passed by this place, they either killed or abducted the young and strong men.

In order to let King Hu spare himself and the remaining women and children, the owner of the manor presented the manor to King Hu and expressed his willingness to surrender.

These two father and son were slaves of King Hu. King Hu promised that as long as the owner of the house followed him and did not rebel, he would return everything here in three years.

The owner of this place followed King Hu, and King Hu handed this place over to the father and son to manage. That is to say, after three years, these two guys will still have to leave.

"so"

Qin Qiong looked at the old man on the bed and said, "In other words, these people are not your slaves. They were originally just residents of the Yu State?"

The old man nodded.

"Oh, what about the other people in this family?"

"all gone"

"No one from the original owner's family is left?"

“…They all ran away.”

“These people are just residents of this neighborhood.”

“Yes, there are.”

At this time, the tied woman spoke: "We are just tenants, and some of us were the master's former slaves."

Qin Qiong looked at her and said, "Who are you then? You seem to be no ordinary person."

Qin Qiong had a basis for saying this. The woman's skin was too smooth, and her fingers were white and clean, which showed that she was definitely not a servant who did manual labor.

"I'm……"

"She is also a slave, but she lives in the master's room."

At this time, the dark and fat woman said fiercely.

Qin Qiong looked back at the woman and asked the middle-aged woman, "So, you betrayed the master's family, right?"

The woman was stunned and immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.

"So," Qin Qiong looked at the old man on the bed again, "that is to say, these people were originally citizens of the Yu State, and you captured them and made them slaves, right?"

The old man looked at Qin Qiong, nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

Qin Qiong pointed the gun at the old man again: "You don't want to tell the truth? Well, I'll let you have a taste of what it means to be happy."

After saying that, he shot the old man in the stomach on the sheet.

"what!"

The old man let out a scream.

"No, I don't, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I, I, this place will only be used by us for three years. After three years, it will return to the royal court and be returned to that person, so..."

"I rely on!"

Qin Qiong sneered: "Who the hell are you? Just because of this, you can cause trouble for three years, right?"

"…We are only allowed to use it for three years, and we, we still have to pay taxes to the owner," the old man said in a low voice, enduring the pain.

Qin Qiong thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Atan, "What's going on?"

Atan lowered his head and said: "This is a way for the master to save our manor."

"Save it by surrendering? What do you mean?"

"The master offered the manor to the Hu king so that he would stop killing people. The Hu king said that the master should go with him and serve him for three years. In this way, after three years, they would return the manor to the master."

"Oh, I see. That means these two bastards can do whatever they want to this village during these three years, right?"

"……Yes"

"After three years, they will return to their so-called Hu King and continue to be slaves."

Atan nodded.

"Where's your asshole master?"

"The king, the Hu king took him away."

"I don't think he'll come back again?"

"No, we agreed that as long as he serves King Hu well, it's fine..."

Qin Qiong smiled and nodded: "So he kept you here to look after the manor for him, and you watched these bastards harm these people, right?"

The dark and strong woman nodded vigorously: "Yes, the master promised them to treat us well and let them take away all the harvests after three years. But these bastards, they are not human beings at all."

Qin Qiong looked at her and smiled.

"They are only here to collect three years' rent. They were just slaves before, so they don't know what is good. Now that they have the opportunity to become masters, they will naturally allow the bold ones to cause trouble here. Don't blame them, blame yourselves too."

"Don't you have brains? Your master sold you out like this, and you still keep saying "master is better than master is worse than master". Are you born to be a worthless person?"

"No, no, my master..."

"Oh, don't tell me, I'm not interested in listening"

Qin Qiong stood up. Now, she knew the basic situation of this manor.

In fact, it is very simple. The so-called King Hu left behind the father and son. These two bastards took him and found a few refugees outside, and organized a so-called guard team.

There were only about ten of them in total, but this mob bullied dozens of people in and outside the village.

However, we cannot blame them entirely. Perhaps it is because the only people left here are women, children and the elderly.

They really didn't dare to resist. Their lives were so difficult and they just lived numbly.

However, Qin Qiong thought that maybe they were born without any recognition of freedom and the value of their own lives, and maybe they were also waiting, thinking that as long as they could survive these three years, their original masters would come back, and then they could live well.
