Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"Okay, now that you've confessed everything you need to, you can go and die."

Qu Xiaoxiao said: "In my opinion, only if you go down and atone your sins in person can you show some sincerity." After that, she took out a sword from the space and leaped towards Chen Shan.

Chen Shan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately crawled to a place and moved the mechanism, trying to hide in the underground palace.

It’s a pity that his speed can’t compare with Qu Xiaoxiao’s.

The mechanism creaked as it turned, and the huge platform just cracked a little, and Qu Xiaoxiao's sword was already at Chen Shan's neck.

Chen Shan only felt a chill on his neck, let out a wail, and his head fell to the ground.

The head rolled down through the gap in the platform, bouncing like a ball, and finally fell motionless at the bottom of the steps.

I don’t know what kind of scene Chen Shan saw at last.

Qu Xiaoxiao ignored his body and kicked it aside, then walked down the opened mechanism passage.

There are rooms on both sides of the long corridor in the underground palace.

The children were crowded together, about 50 of them in one room, all looking at her with horror.

Everyone's hands and feet were tied, and their bodies were fixed to the wall. A thin tube was inserted into the children's waist, and the other end of the tube was blocked by a wooden plug wrapped in gauze.

Probably to facilitate blood collection, when needed, just remove the wooden stopper.

It is so crude and unhygienic, it is shocking to look at.

Qu Xiaoxiao felt that some of the children who died probably did not die from excessive blood loss, but from infection or sepsis.

She cursed softly, secretly regretting that she had let the demon die too easily.

"Beautiful sister, are you here to take our blood too?"

A pale little boy asked timidly, his voice a little hoarse, "We've already taken blood today. Do we need another one?"

"If you take it again, I might die. Sister, can you please not take my blood today?"

He pouted, his voice sounding a little obedient, a little aggrieved, but more of a deep fear.

The room was immediately filled with the sounds of soft sobbing.

"It's okay, sister won't take your blood. Sister is here to save you. Don't be afraid~" Qu Xiaoxiao tried her best to soften her voice and soothe the children's emotions:

"You will soon leave this place, and no one will come to take your blood anymore..."

As Qu Xiaoxiao spoke, she quickly lit up a cigarette in each room, and soon all the children fell asleep. Qu Xiaoxiao let "Qinqin" and "Kuai Kuai" out.

Let them help remove the tubes from these children, and at the same time treat their wounds, give them anti-inflammation, bandage and stop bleeding.

She went to the Chaoyang Palace that the old Taoist had just mentioned, and took away what needed to be taken away and destroyed what needed to be destroyed.

Until Chaoyang Palace became a bare palace, she struck it with lightning twice more.

Then he came back and put all the children into the space.

Qu Xiaoxiao thought about it.

It is impossible to return these children to their parents one by one. Firstly, they have suffered such severe physical and mental trauma that if they were to be hastily returned to their original families, they might not be well cared for.

Second, since their families were able to sell their children, they had already given up on these children to a certain extent.

The lives that had been abandoned were returned so easily. Who knows, if there are any difficulties at home in the future, they may be abandoned again.

Of course, except for the girl named Xiao Wanwan today.

Her biological mother was clearly unwilling to give up her only daughter. Qu Xiaoxiao summoned a puppet and had it send Xiao Wanwan over, following the mark she had left on the woman.

She herself marked out a small area at the foot of the mountain in the space, and asked "Qinqin" and "Kuai Kuai" to bring a few puppets to set up more than a hundred thatched houses for the children to live in temporarily.

Including the girls adopted by Xu Zhe.

A barrier was set up outside the foot of the mountain to prevent them from wandering around. From now on, "Qinqin", "Kuaikuai" and these puppets will be the exclusive "childcare teachers" for these children.

Qu Xiaoxiao decided to leave it at that for now, and deal with the next thing after she arrived at the place of exile.

After a few of them teleported back to their rooms in the inn, they inevitably made some noises while changing clothes. At this moment, Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly heard the sound of a candle being blown out in the next room.

Then the man began to breathe evenly, as if he had let go of a heavy burden in his heart.

Qu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Did Situ Zhige realize she wasn't in the room? He'd been waiting for her. Never mind, let him be.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day, Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige went out for breakfast together, and as expected, they heard the latest gossip in Tongzhou City.

"Have you heard? The Xu family got their comeuppance last night..."

The man spoke in a low, mysterious voice.

"What retribution? Tell me quickly!"

The obedient man's eyes lit up, and he pulled the man's sleeve to make him speak faster. The people nearby also leaned over and pricked up their ears.

"My eldest uncle's younger brother's third uncle went to the government office early in the morning to deliver food. He heard that the government office was haunted... It was said that Xu Zhe, the young master of the Xu family, was only a skin left, and he was inexplicably lying in the bed where the prefect and his concubine slept."

The person who was telling the story started with a bombshell, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately:

"Ah ...

This gossip was a combination of fantasy, gore, horror, and romance, and the common people loved it. Immediately, everyone urged him to continue.

"is not that right?"

The man swallowed his saliva, took a sip of the morning tea that was handed to him, and continued his speech in a vivid voice:

"At first, Magistrate Xu didn't understand what was going on. He thought his son was being ridiculous for daring to covet his concubine's beauty, so he kicked Master Xu to the ground."

"The concubine even pounced on him and scratched him. Who knew she'd scratched his face so hard that the straw inside was exposed... Only then did Magistrate Xu realize something was seriously wrong!"

"Ahhhhh this concubine tickles so well,"

The people around were very excited: "What happened next? What happened next?"

"What can we do?"

The man who was speaking shook his head, with an expression that said, "You're so bored waiting," and took another big sip of tea.

"Prefect Xu notified the government officials to investigate the case. They then discovered that the entire government office had been robbed and all the items were stolen. What's even more incredible is that the perpetrators didn't leave even a single clue."

The man stretched out his little finger and exaggeratedly gestured a little bit, just a little bit.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

The crowd listening to the melons erupted in excitement again, everyone exclaiming in amazement: "How can there be no clues at all? This government office is so useless."

"That's right, that's right. I always say they can't do anything right. Now I've been slapped in the face, huh? They can't even find out if the prefect has lost something."

"In my opinion, not necessarily."

An elderly man said mysteriously, "Think about it, the Xu family has done so many immoral things in recent years. Maybe this is something that a human being wouldn't do."

"Maybe it's a ghost seeking revenge."

"Oh, brother, you still have a unique perspective on things!"

The gossiping man slapped his thigh and said, "That's what I thought. Otherwise, why would this thief only steal things from the prefect's own house and leave the public property just across the wall alone?"

"And I heard that something seemed to have happened in the mansion where Master Xu lived..."

"Ah, if what you say is true, this is a righteous thief, a righteous thief!"

A scholar in a long gown shook his head and clapped his hands in admiration.

Qu Xiaoxiao: “…”

What's with the word "thief"? It sounds so ugly. How can she be a thief? Even if you add the word "righteousness" to it, it still doesn't sound good.

He is a cultured person, really.
