Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 522 Jia Lian, I've decided to be your brother!

"Big brother~"

The little stutterer squinted and grinned at the bald man, saying, "Miss Official, you're so beautiful."

The bald man, who was eating snacks and drinking, glanced at him.

"This hostage cannot be touched."

"Big brother~" the little stutterer said urgently, his words becoming clearer, "If the young lady can't move, then surely the maid can play around with her, right~"

"If you can't even control your own weight, what great things can you accomplish?"

The bald man put down his wine cup. "Do this job well, and you can sleep with any courtesan you want on Slender West Lake."

"Big brother~"

The stutterer persisted, "No matter how beautiful the courtesan is, she's still just a courtesy name."

"How can you compare to the wives of officials?"

Even if I can't move, can't I at least have a go at using my hands?

"You son of a bitch~" The bald man rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "Go away~"

"okay!"

Little Stutterer was overjoyed and ran to the room where officials' wives were imprisoned, rubbing his hands together.

"Little beauty~" The little stutterer burst through the door, giggling as she stepped forward, "Play with your big brother for a bit~"

Zijuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still trembled and stood in front of Lin Daiyu.

"Hehehe~"

The stutterer reached out and grabbed at Zijuan's body.

The next moment, a thin little hand grabbed his wrist.

Before the little stutterer could come to his senses...

‘Click! ’

His wrist was suddenly crushed.

'Ouch~'

Little Stutterer let out a piercing scream, and then she was sent flying out of the room.

Hearing the commotion, the bandits rushed out of the house.

Everyone paled at the sight of the little stutterer lying on the ground, groaning and writhing.

They all drew their sharp blades and surrounded Lin Daiyu as she came out.

Lin Daiyu is just a young girl now.

If we lived in the modern world, we would still be wearing school uniforms to go to school.

From a young age, he received the education typical of children of officials.

Although she is very intelligent, she also has a lively side deep down.

In reality, she was still a typical young lady from an official family.

She had also intended to take action when they were on the ship.

However, out of concern for the safety of Jia Lian, Zijuan, and others, and after confirming that the bandits only wanted to kidnap them and not rob and kill them, they gave up their plan to take action.

not now.

The bandits actually wanted to ruin her reputation, which was more important than life for a woman in this era.

Lin Daiyu couldn't hold back any longer.

The kidnappers couldn't understand the situation, but they knew they couldn't let their hostage escape.

Immediately, a burly man dressed in shorts and with his chest exposed stepped forward and reached out to grab Lin Daiyu.

The next moment, remembering her senior brother's teachings, Lin Daiyu raised her hand, grabbed the burly man's outstretched arm, and swung it around.

The burly man, weighing over 100 pounds, yelled and flew into the sky, directly over the courtyard wall.

This horrifying scene shocked everyone.

The kidnappers were all dumbfounded, looking at Lin Daiyu as if they had seen a ghost.

"The idea is prickly!"

The bald man roared and drew his blade, shouting, "Charge! Let's go side by side!"

The group of kidnappers came to their senses and rushed forward, drawing their weapons.

Lin Daiyu was clearly a little frightened.

Although she had made some progress in her cultivation, she was still essentially the same young lady from an official family who grew up in the inner quarters.

A group of grown men, brandishing weapons, charged over; the impact was quite strong.

Under the terrifying pressure of losing her innocence, Lin Daiyu simply closed her eyes and started throwing wild punches.

If the kidnappers were hit even once, they would suffer broken bones and torn tendons.

It was as if Lin Daiyu had closed her eyes and kicked him. A strong and burly kidnapper was sent flying by the kick, his back slamming heavily against the courtyard wall with a loud thud.

The kidnappers, however, were constrained by the hostage's status and found it difficult to carry out their plans.

"Go all out!"

The bald leader shouted sternly, "Take him down first!"

At this point, there's nothing to worry about.

The kidnappers dared not approach her and circled around Lin Daiyu.

Seeing Lin Daiyu throwing wild punches with her eyes closed, he seized the opportunity and stabbed her arm.

Then~
No problem at all!

There was indeed a tear in her sleeve, but let alone bleeding, Lin Daiyu, with her eyes closed and teeth clenched, didn't even notice it.

Zijuan, holding a teapot in her hand, stood at the door, worried and anxious.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but shout out.

"Miss~"

Her shout actually attracted the attention of the kidnappers.

The bald man's eyes darted around, and he immediately stepped forward to take him down.

'boom! '

Just then, the sturdy courtyard gate was kicked open!

Everyone looked over in astonishment.

Lin Dao, carrying a thick-backed longsword that was still dripping blood, stepped into the courtyard.

"Yo~"

"It's quite lively."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Daiyu, who was clenching her fists wildly, suddenly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Dao, tears immediately streamed down her face uncontrollably.

The aura that kept strangers away vanished instantly.

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye and let out a soft, weak sigh.

"Senior brother~"

"Why are you so late?"

"These thieves are trying to humiliate me!"

In an instant, Lin Dao's expression changed.

A murderous aura emanated from his body!

For the kidnappers, each of them had a life on their hands.

They were all ruthless and desperate criminals. But Lin Dao had roamed the heavens, killing countless people.

Countless powerful enemies, countless barbarian tribes whose names are renowned in history books, and countless emperors and generals who deserve to have their names recorded in history books, all shed their blood on the earth under his rule.

As the saying goes, 'Killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand makes one a hero. But slaughtering nine million makes one the hero of heroes!'

Lin Dao has far more than nine million in his hands!

Once his murderous aura is unleashed, its overwhelming power is enough to make a person's legs go weak and their sphincter muscles tremble.

A few petty thieves, within the space-time controlled by Lin Dao, don't even have the right to catch a glimpse of him from afar.

Now, facing Lin Dao's murderous intent, the kidnappers' first feeling was that although the sun was shining brightly, they were chilled to the bone, as if they were in the deepest hell!
Lin Dao had long since developed this habit.

When facing the enemy, he remained silent and only drew his sword.

He strode forward, and the kidnappers all trembled and instinctively backed away.

The bald boss is a ruthless man.

It was immediately obvious that the newcomer was terrifyingly powerful.

The young lady from the official family called him "senior brother."
Think back to the terrifying scenes of people being thrown into the air and kicked against the wall.

Those who can withstand the terrifying killing intent of their senior brothers and still manage to stay upright are already ruthless.

However, there is no way out now, and there is nowhere to run.

"Brothers, let's give it our all!"

The bald man was the first to charge forward, gritting his teeth and gripping his sharp blade tightly, he stabbed fiercely towards Lin Dao's chest.

Just as the blade was about to pierce Lin Dao's heart, a flash of light appeared.

The scene before my eyes churned, and finally I could see how much soil was on the ground.

Soon after, they were plunged into eternal darkness.

These kidnappers are ruthless; they can be described as killing without blinking an eye.

But in front of Lin Dao, they were no different from chicks.

While brandishing his long sword, he even managed to squeeze out a smile and give Lin Daiyu some instructions.

"Don't look!"

After dealing with the kidnappers, Lin Dao called over Zijuan, who was slumped over at the door.

"Help your young lady inside."

"Oh, right." Lin Dao gestured to Zijuan's teapot, "Put this thing down, it's useless. I'll give you a dagger next time."

Zijuan was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

He shakily put down the teapot, unable to bear looking at the corpses and blood scattered on the ground.

He helped Lin Daiyu back into the house carefully.

Lin Dao began cleaning up the battlefield.

Finish off the injured but not dead.

Search every room to make sure no one escapes.

In the woodshed, they found Jia Lian and his servant tied up.

"Brother Zihou~"

Jia Lian, who came from a noble family, had never suffered like this before.

Although it wasn't a long time and I wasn't abused, I was still quite frightened.

Seeing Lin Dao come to his rescue, he was truly grateful and moved to tears.

"Brother Zihou, once we get to the capital, we brothers must get thoroughly drunk at home."

He was really scared.

It turns out that there really are bandits in this world who are not afraid of the government or the power of the Jia family.

Without this protection, he, a member of the Jia family, is no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Fearing another terrible encounter on the return journey, Jia Lian disregarded his uncle's instructions and warmly invited Lin Dao to accompany him for protection.

"your home?"

As if he had thought of something, Lin Dao grinned and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder.

"Brother Jia, I've decided to be your brother!"

There are horses and carriages in the stable.

Lin Daiyu and Zijuan boarded the carriage, and Jia Lian, acting as the driver, also boarded.

As for his attendants and servants, they could only follow the carriage.

Of course, before that, they had to drag the corpses of the beggars outside the courtyard into the courtyard.

Young Master Jia Lian had never done such physical labor before.

The beggar was filthy, smelly, and covered in blood, which made his eyes water.

But he had no choice; Lin Dao made him do it, and he dared not refuse.

Before leaving, Lin Dao brought a bucket of gasoline and poured it into the yard.

During his previous search of the survivors, he found numerous traces of torture and even murder.

It's obvious that this place was originally a den of thieves.

Countless wronged souls are trapped in this den of thieves.

Lin Dao has always insisted on keeping such places clean and tidy.

Flames rolled and engulfed the thief's den.

The kidnappers and beggars were also devoured.

It can be considered a rescue for those poor people who will be poisoned by these scum in the future.

This only applies to Yangzhou Prefecture, or even just this county.

Throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there are countless places like this.

If Lin Dao encounters him, he can easily deal with him.

But even if he hadn't encountered them, those scumbags would still have continued to poison the world.

Unless~
Back at the dock, the official ship was still moored on the shore.

The local constables have taken over the docks and government ships.

An attack on an official ship—this is a major incident!
Let alone the local county magistrate, even the prefect of Yangzhou would probably lose his official position.

Fortunately, Jia Lian and the others returned alive and took the initiative to downplay the incident.

They said there was no bandit attack; they were just visiting relatives and friends.

No one would believe such a lie, as the bloodstains on the ship hadn't even been washed away yet.

But the county magistrate, who had rushed to the dock overnight, finally smiled.

Not only did he personally escort people onto the ship, but he also specially found a group of reliable boatmen.

He also said that Young Master Jia should just leave, and that he, the prefect, and the salt inspector would take care of the rest, including the boatmen and salt workers who accidentally fell into the water.

Even before the official ship set sail, a generous sum of money was provided for its journey.

The magistrate was genuinely grateful, as he had at least saved his official position and even his life.

The official ship sailed with its sails billowing.

Standing on the deck of the forest path, I gazed northward into the distance.

"Capital!"

"The Rongguo Mansion!"
