Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

His face turned pale as dirt, and he shouted to the people around him, "Do you really want to watch them do whatever they want and shit on our heads? If they treat me like this today, they might treat you like this tomorrow. Or do you really want to be dominated by a bunch of bitches in the future?"

He tried to incite the rest of the men.

"I'm a cripple and I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid? There are only a few of them. We are outnumbered and powerful, so why should we be afraid of them? They were able to kill Wang Biao only by catching him off guard. Don't be scared."

"Come together and kill her to avenge Wang Biao. Maybe you can be appreciated by the deputy leader and become the new leader of this alley."

These words obviously touched the hearts of many men. They looked around and after confirming that Song Zhi did not bring more people with him, they all showed eager expressions.

The girl was also a little hesitant, she was afraid that the knife would send herself to hell.

She bit her lip, her eyes changing unpredictably.

Song Zhi stood straight behind her without saying a word.

After a few breaths, she finally made up her mind.

He raised his arm high and swung it down with force, and as his hand moved and the knife slashed, a piece of something covered in blood fell to the ground.

"what!!!"

The shrill screams seemed to break through the sky. The old cripple was trembling all over and blood was gushing from under him.

"Bitch, how dare you! How dare you!"

He was released by the secret guards and curled up on the ground in pain like a pile of meat.

The other men became agitated upon seeing this. They thought Song Zhi was just trying to scare the old cripple and wouldn't really do anything, but they didn't expect that Song Zhi was not joking at all.

Everyone's eyes showed murderous intent, "Damn it, at worst I'll fight you, but I won't be inferior to a woman."

"That's right, with so many of us here, are we really afraid of you?"

They pulled out swords from their waists, kicked the woman next to them away and rushed towards Song Zhi.

Looking at the rioting man, the girl showed despair on her face. If she took action today, there would be no place for her here anymore. She would die more miserably than her mother.

However, she has no regrets.

Rather than being tortured to death by these men, it is better to end my life myself.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears. She turned back to look at Song Zhi and said with her lips, "Thank you."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, raised the dagger and stabbed it into his chest.

However, the imagined bone-eroding pain did not appear. Instead, a warm hand grasped her wrist and held her tightly.

She opened her eyes confusedly and met a pair of beautiful and clear eyes.

"I instigated you to do it, and I will be responsible for you."

The pleasant voice sounded like the sound of nature. She saw the woman in front of her wink at her cunningly and pulled the dagger from her hand.

"Step back, or you'll get splashed with blood."

Inexplicably, she retreated to the back in a timid manner as if she had been bewitched.

The secret guards were already fighting with the men, and the rest of the women also hid around based on their survival instinct.

Song Zhi weighed the dagger, turned around and joined the battlefield.

She has been practicing martial arts diligently recently and now is the perfect time to check the results.

Most of the men here have some martial arts experience, so they did not take Song Zhi and the others seriously.

But when a large number of their people died easily like cabbages being harvested, the remaining people dropped their weapons without thinking, knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"Boss, we were wrong. We didn't recognize the true emperor. We didn't know how high the heavens were. Please spare our lives."

Song Zhi took a quick look and found that there were only forty or fifty men left here.

She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and said, "Surrender, huh? Of course you can, but since you've already betrayed me once, I have to keep a backup plan."

"If you take this poison, I will let you go."

"Don't worry, as long as you behave well, I will give you the antidote on time and ensure that you don't die from the poison or your intestines."

She got these poisons from Mu Nanqi's shop, and she guaranteed that they couldn't detoxify themselves. These were not fake poisons like she had given to Meng Qi to deceive him.

Upon hearing this, everyone became obviously hesitant.

No one wants to have their life and death controlled by others.

Unfortunately, they have no choice now.

Between dying immediately and living a miserable life, they would of course choose to live.

First, one person came over flatteringly and swallowed the poison, then two, then three...

By the time everyone had swallowed the poison, the porcelain bottle that Song Zhi brought was almost empty.

She was about to put the porcelain bottle away when the women nearby came over.

They were like soulless puppets, stretching out their hands and waiting for Song Zhi to give them poison.

Song Zhi frowned, handed the porcelain bottle to Xiao Tao, and said, "If you even give up on yourself, what's the point of living? If you continue like this, what difference will it make whether I save you or not?"

They seemed to have not expected Song Zhi to say this, and they looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Song Zhi also understood that they had been in darkness for a long time and could not adapt to the light in a short time.

So she said solemnly and seriously again, word by word: "From today on, every household in this alley must live with mutual respect. No one should regard men as the gods. Men no longer have the power to issue orders, and they cannot force women to do anything they don't want to do."

The women all looked up at Song Zhi in confusion. Although they were still dull, little sparks of light seemed to slowly appear in their eyes.

Xiao Tao whispered to Song Zhi, "Miss, didn't you say these words only once at first? This is the second time."

Song Zhi twitched his lips. Xiaotao was such a strict girl, it was outrageous.

She turned away silently and continued to speak to the group of women, "The world won't always favor men. The prerequisite is that you have the courage to resist. Didn't she do a good job just now?"

Song Zhi pointed at the little girl. The girl no longer had the timidity and fear she had at the beginning. She looked at Song Zhi with eyes full of admiration and hope.

The old cripple had already fainted from excessive blood loss, but his chest was still rising and falling weakly, so he was obviously not dead yet.

"Sister, I...I believe you!"

The girl stepped forward and stood next to Song Zhi, "I will resist with you."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, then from today on, you will lead them. What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaocao. It was given by my mother. She said that grass is stubborn and tenacious and can thrive anywhere."

Song Zhi touched her head and said, "What a great name."

After saying that, she looked at the men and said, "You know this place better than I do. Please deal with these bodies quickly. I have something else to say."

While they were cleaning the yard, Song Zhi gave the women here a good talk.

Although they are still a little dull, Song Zhi believes that as long as they are given time, they will be able to become confident and lively again.
