The female prisoner was fierce

Chapter 2: Testing, Murder, Usurpation

Xiao Jianyang glanced around, his gaze finally settling on the spirited woman in front of him.

In my mind, memories quickly pair up.

Lin Qingxue, 18 years old, is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, a prominent military family in the capital.

She was falsely accused of treason and her entire family was executed, but she survived thanks to her family's connections.

After examining her carefully once more, Xiao Jianyang raised his right foot and kicked Zhou Hu's scattered official knife in front of her:

"Do you know how to use it?"

Lin Qingxue's expression was filled with struggle and inner turmoil, but recalling her blood feud, she decisively squatted down, picked it up, and nodded:

"meeting."

Xiao Jianyang:

"Very well, now you're mine."

"Anyone who dares to bully you and your sisters again will be killed!"

Lin Qingxue's body trembled, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded emphatically:

"Um."

Xiao Jianyang said no more.

Turning around, he faced all the female criminals present, his tone as cold and ruthless as a knife:

"Those who remain, I will avenge you!"

"Those who want to leave will be given provisions and travel expenses; the choice is yours!"

woohoo~~~

The entire hall fell silent once again!

No one spoke, but their eyes conveyed a variety of emotions.

Most of them gritted their teeth and were filled with murderous intent; the memory of the upheaval in the capital made them dream of revenge.

However, a few people still looked on with mixed feelings, scrutiny, or even disbelief.

Xiao Jianyang didn't insist, but instead looked at Lin Qingxue:

"And you."

Lin Qingxue understood that she was being asked to take the lead, but she had no way out now.

Moreover, the flames of revenge burned constantly, so he steeled himself, gripped the knife with both hands, gritted his teeth, and bowed his head, saying:

"Lord Xiao, if you can truly lead us to avenge our grievances, then Qingxue is willing to follow you to the death!"

The words were spoken.

Behind her, her two maids, Xiaotao and Xiaoxing, exchanged a glance, then clasped their hands in a fist salute as well.

"If Lord Xiao can truly lead us to avenge our wrongs, we are willing to follow him to the death!!"

With the leader taking the lead, it was like a spark igniting dry tinder. Although the sinful women were still hesitant, this was the only path they could take at the moment.

He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted:

"They killed my parents and seized my family property; this is an irreconcilable hatred!"

"If Lord Xiao can truly lead us to avenge our grievances, we will follow him to the death!"

"I will follow you to the death!"

Everyone's eyes welled up with tears.

The thought that his family members would either be killed or exiled like him fueled his intense hatred.

before.

Xiao Jianyang saw that the emotions had been stirred up enough. Although there were still several jealous and resentful gazes, and the sinners were not completely subdued, most of them were actually observing.

But it doesn't matter.

You can't rush things.

He raised his hands and pressed them down, then looked to his right at Lin Qingxue, who stood rooted to the spot with eyes full of hatred, and gave the order:

"Go and take inventory of all our supplies, then distribute them among everyone."

Lin Qingxue nodded immediately:

"Um."

Xiao Jianyang turned his head and gave an order to the seven soldiers who had been trembling with fear the entire time:

"Immediately remove all their shackles, then take a tinderbox, find dry branches and leaves, and burn them all."

The seven soldiers dared not hesitate and immediately nodded:

"Yes, Lord Xiao."

They quickly did as instructed.

In no time, all the shackles were removed, and a large number of withered branches and leaves were found.

ignite.

Thick plumes of black smoke rose up, and the high temperature melted some of the snow around the fire, while the wooden yoke inside the fire turned into a pile of charcoal in the intense flames.

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, the sinners no longer had any doubts; instead, their expressions became serious.

For the first time, an expectant look appeared deep in his eyes.

But there were also several complex gazes mixed in.

Xiao Jianyang took in all these gazes, then decisively pointed:

"You four, come out here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of sinful women immediately stirred up a commotion.

They all turned their heads and saw four people walking out of the crowd one after another.

Xiao Jianyang didn't waste any words and got straight to the point:

"If you want to leave, you can immediately receive dry rations and travel expenses; all you need to do is nod or shake your head."

His eyes were calm, and his tone was equally calm.

before.

A woman in her thirties, her expression filled with resentment, immediately nodded:

"Lord Xiao, I wish to leave."

After she finished speaking, the three women behind her looked at each other, then lowered their heads and nodded.

Xiao Jianyang:

"Alright, since you've made your choice, I, Xiao, will keep my word."

"You can receive travel expenses and dry rations."

At this moment, Lin Qingxue had already organized the supplies.

Not much, less than 100 taels of silver, and just enough dry rations for everyone to eat for 3 days.

Amidst Lin Qingxue's complex expression, Xiao Jianyang took one of the bundles and decisively handed it over.

The other party took it, looked at it, and then, without turning back, led the three people behind him back the way they came.

His eyes flashed with an even stronger resentment and murderous intent.

Despite his best efforts to conceal it, he couldn't hide it from Xiao Jianyang's eyes at all.

"What's her name?"

Watching the other person's departing figure, Xiao Jianyang's expression was cold.

Lin Qingxue immediately replied:

"Reporting to Lord Xiao, her name is Song Wei. She was originally the daughter of the Minister of War in the capital. Because of her treason, her whole family was wiped out, and only she was exiled for some reason."

Xiao Jianyang:

"it is good."

He then gave instructions to the seven still tense soldiers beside him:

"You seven, escort the four back."

The seven soldiers were immediately overjoyed and nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, sir, rest assured, we will certainly do as instructed."

He quickly grabbed some dry rations and hurried after them, carefully escorting them.

Lin Qingxue, standing nearby, watched this scene with great confusion.

"Lord Xiao, why is this?"

Those seven people are a force to be reckoned with; it's really not worth letting them escort those four sisters away.

But she dared not say those words aloud.

Xiao Jianyang narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, saying each word carefully:
