There were more than a dozen women in the room, most of them were only cardamom age, and a few were young and long, all of whom were born with white skin and beautiful appearance, which can be called one in a hundred beauties. Among them, the woman with the most outstanding appearance is a few years older than Zhao Qiyue, but she is also the most miserable.

The other women were unkempt and ragged, and at most there were scars from whipping, some of which were still oozing blood, and there was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, curled up in the corner, dying, like a stray cat that had been weathered and skinny.

But this is nothing compared to the woman.

The woman was lying against the wall on the bunk, her clothes were torn, only scattered strips of cloth covered the key parts, revealing a large dazzling snow-white, but under her, there was a large pool of blood! The blood stains spread from the bunk to the bed, and I was afraid that there would be no less than half a basin, and at this moment she tightly covered her lower abdomen, and cried terrifiedly.

Even a chick like Wei Wuxian could tell at a glance that this woman had miscarried.

Who are these women, and how can there be pregnant women? What did the poorly clothed woman go through before she had a miscarriage? Why do all the women look at outsiders as if they were evil spirits?

Before Zhao Ning gave the order to kill all the white-clothed guild gangs, he carried a Qi Realm cultivator into the house by the collar and asked him to explain everything about these women.

"Return, Hui Gongzi's words, this, this is not a folk girl who we robbed and plundered, but was sent by their father and brother, and it was absolutely voluntary! What the villain said was the truth......" The white-clothed guild helped the crowd wince, and when he said this, he glanced at the people around him.

Seeing that both Zhao Qiyue and Wei Wuxian were going to devour him alive, they were so frightened that they hurriedly said loudly: "We, we have a gambling contract!"

"These women, all of whom are their fathers, brothers or husbands, were unwilling to lose money in the gambling house, and borrowed the money from the gambling house to continue gambling, but in the end they failed to return their capital...... In order to repay the debts of the gambling house, they voluntarily sold their children! These things are all done by these gamblers themselves, and it is none of our business, we did not force them to borrow money!"

"Shut up!" Zhao Ning threw a fist in the face of the white-clothed gangster, knocked him to the ground, pointed at the woman who was circulating and asked coldly, "What's the matter with this woman?"

"She, she was also sent by her husband...... She was already pregnant, and the gambling house didn't accept it, but the steward Xu said that such a woman, don't, have a different flavor, so she stayed...... Childe spares her life! It's none of my business, it's Xu Guan who will harm her!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ning kicked the person out of the room.

The gambling house sets up the gambler, makes the other party lose cleanly, lures the other party to borrow money from the gambling house, and then makes the other party lose as much as he wants, and finally forces the other party to repay the gambling debts with his wife and children - this kind of thing is just the usual method of all gambling houses, no matter who is present, can think clearly with his toes.

It is inhumane for gamblers to lose red, and the gambling house is even more unforgivable.

"Who is Steward Xu?" Zhao Ning asked in a deep voice at the door.

The white-clothed guild gang who knelt on the ground in the courtyard, after Zhao Ning's question was spoken, the gang members were very hesitant, not sure whether they should betray their companions. After Hu Honglian pierced a gang of swords through the throat, everyone's eyes locked on a burly man in the middle, wearing only a pair of calf-nosed pants.

The strong man's body trembled, and he hurriedly kept kowtowing.

"Drag it out!"

Under Zhao Ning's order, a Zhao cultivator pulled the person out of the crowd, threw it in front of Zhao Ning, and kicked the opponent on the crook of the knee, causing the other party to crawl to the ground.

"Ling Chi!" Zhao Ning didn't want to kill the other party with one knife and let the other party die so cheaply. The so-called Ling Chi is to use a knife to cut the flesh piece by piece, and the skilled torturer will only ask for the other party's life if he cuts a thousand knives.

"Spare your life, son, spare your life!" the strong man kept kowtowing in a panic, and he was so frightened that he was crying.

Without waiting for the Zhao cultivator to make a move, there was a sudden and unbearable scream in the room, and Zhao Ning looked back and saw that the woman with her lower body covered in blood and her face was pale and twisted like a dead corpse, she miraculously stood up and rushed out of the room.

Grabbing the knife from the hands of a Zhao cultivator with both hands, the crazy woman slashed at the top of the man's head with all his might, like chopping firewood, "Give me back!"

That Zhao cultivator not only did not stop the woman from snatching her own knife, but also used the power of cultivation to help her suppress the white-clothed guild gang when the woman raised the long knife, so that the other party could accurately slash at the opponent's head.

But even so, the woman's knife failed to split the gang in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm in half, and the long knife was more than an inch into the bone and stuck in the skull.

The woman, who must have been accustomed to farm work, at least often chopping dry wood, kicked on the chest of the screaming but unable to move the white-clothed Huihui, pulled out the long knife with the help of force, and slashed it again.

Knife by knife, in a short period of time, the woman swung the knife dozens of times, turning the child who had bullied her and made her unborn child into a pool of blood, and cut off her head like rotten wood.

Her head wasn't very good, so the gang's upper body was covered with hideous wounds.

When the Zhao cultivator withdrew the power of cultivation, and the strong man who had died of exhaustion fell in a pool of blood, he was completely out of human form, and his miserable upper body was seen by the old Jianghu who was practicing this kind of old Jianghu, and he couldn't help but turn around and retch.

Although he had never suffered the punishment of Ling Chi, the pain of this white-clothed guild gang before his death was not much less.

In the process of the woman's revenge, Zhao Ning gave an order not to leave a single person alive.

The woman who had killed her enemy, having at last exhausted all her strength, threw down her sword, fell to the ground with her eyes blank, buried her head in her knees, and whimpered lowly.

"Childe, the entrance of the Goshawk Gang in the mansion not far away has been cleaned up by us, and the three Yuan Shen Realm have been given the head, and half of the Imperial Qi Realm and the Forging Body Realm have been killed!" At this time, a Zhao cultivator rushed to report.

"Are there any special discoveries?" Zhao Ning asked.

"Not for the time being, I haven't even seen much gold and silver, everyone is searching the secret room treasure house, it shouldn't take too much time. Zhao Clan cultivator said.

Zhao Ning nodded, waved his hand to let the other party retreat, and also commanded his own cultivators here to collect the belongings in the gambling house. Since it is the location of the hall of one of the four major gangs in Yanping City, there will be a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and even cultivation resources, and even such a huge income, even Zhao Ning will not ignore it.

The words "The mansion not far away" fell into the woman's ears, and she raised her head suddenly, quickly glanced left and right, and finally her eyes fell on Zhao Ning.

I don't know where the strength came from, she quickly knelt up, regardless of the bare knees and the coldness of the bluestone slab on the ground, walked to Zhao Ning on her knees in a few steps, and kept kowtowing and begging with tears in her eyes, "Childe help, please save my son's life!

Seeing this scene, everyone was moved, with sadness and sympathy, Zhao Ning helped the other party up, and helped her pull the big curtain to cover her snow-white body, and then said gently: "It doesn't have to be like this." You say slowly, who do you want me to save, and where do I save it?"

"There is a big mansion not far away, called Chen Zhai, my eight-year-old son is in it, and he was also sold to the gambling house, let them send it to that mansion......!

The woman's voice was as sad as a cuckoo's cry of blood, and her face, which had been bright and moving, was now as pale as paper, and her eyes were as wide as a clear pool, but they were filled with intense longing, anxiety, palpitations, and apprehension.

Zhao Ning looked at Hu Honglian, who nodded and said, "That Goshawk Gang's house is indeed called Chen's house, I'll go over and have a look." She went in person, and moved swiftly, showing great pity for the woman.

Zhao Ning took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart was unsettled.

In the previous life, the Beihu army attacked the city and plundered the land, and the Qi family was broken and their wives were scattered, but now the war has not yet broken out, and in this prosperous era that has not been seen in a hundred years, there is still such a tragedy, which makes him have mixed feelings in his heart.

"The gangs in the rivers and lakes like the Baiyi Society are so vicious that they insult people's wives and harm people's children, and they have no bottom line! Those people of the Liu clan are really crazy, and they have done whatever it takes to grab people's lives in order to grab wealth! What qualifications do the people of the Liu clan have to serve as court officials, and what kind of face does Liu Muzhi's old thief have to stand tall in the court?!"

Wei Wuxian clenched his fists in anger, his teeth creaking, "Under the prosperous era, there are such families and officials who are hidden with such lust for profit and have no moral integrity, this is the shame of the Great Qi Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at those cultivators of the First Rank Building and the Three Green Swords, and finally looked in the direction where Hu Honglian left, his eyes showed a thick suspicion and fierceness, and he no longer had the previous infatuation.

"Yipinlou, which is also a big gang in the market, is it the same as the White Clothes Society and the Goshawk Gang, in order to accumulate wealth, ignoring the law and etiquette, causing many ordinary people to die?"

Wei Wuxian turned his head and asked Zhao Ning in a low voice, his appearance was solemn and serious, "If that's the case, then Yipinlou shouldn't exist either, and Hu Erniang will have to pay the price for the evil deeds she committed!"

"Brother Ning, you tell me the truth. I know very well that no matter what kind of organization in the rivers and lakes is, they need to eat, drink, and Lazar, and to solve the basic problems of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, they all need cultivation resources! Without a large source of wealth, gangs will not be able to sustain themselves, and they, outlaws, will definitely not go to farming!"

Zhao Ning pointed to the room.

Su Yeqing was inside to check the injuries of those hard-working women, and some of the women in ragged clothes were also turned out of clean clothes by her out of nowhere and changed them into. In this way, Su Yeqing was still crying, and her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts.

"There is no doubt that ninety percent of the so-called gangs are gangsters, doing illegal and shady business, killing people and plundering goods is just an ordinary thing. ”

Zhao Ning said solemnly, "But there are also gangsters who are not gangsters, there are people who are making a living, such as the group of coolies at the wharf, and the river gang on Caoyun." The same is true for Yipinlou, they are not gangsters who are rampant and oppress the good, and the source of wealth is the legitimate existence of teahouses, wine shops, dart boards, etc. ”

Wei Wuxian was greatly relieved when he saw Su Yeqing's appearance and listened to Zhao Ning's words.

If Yipinlou is the same as the Baiyi Club, he will definitely not be able to convince himself to accept them, and his affection for Hu Erniang will be cut off immediately, and even the other party will be arrested back to the Governor's Mansion to ask for guilt, so as to prevent the other party from harming people again.

This is his moral bottom line.

Zhao Ning saw that the woman who had just miscarried and was still very weak couldn't even stand steadily, but she kept stretching her neck and looking out nervously, so she beckoned and asked Su Yeqing to take two women out to support each other and go to the mansion of the Goshawk Gang.
