Chapter 176: Accidental Discovery (2)
Let's talk about the deputy leading Gan Ning through a small section of woods and saw an open space in front of them. Three houses were located here. And outside the houses, there were many women washing and drying clothes.
"Is this what you want me to see? You want me to watch them wash clothes?" Gan Ning stared at the deputy with a bit of displeasure in his tone. He felt that he was being tricked. He turned around and wanted to leave, but was hurriedly stopped by the deputy.
"Brother, wait! Look carefully, look at their faces and their exposed skin."
Following the guidance of his deputy, Gan Ning patiently turned back and stared at the group of women.
"Huh?" As if he noticed something was wrong, Gan Ning turned around and met his deputy's eyes.
"I'm not lying to you, there is really a problem."
"Mom, come over and take a look!"
Gan Ning cursed and stood up to go over, but suddenly felt something pressing on his left shoulder. When he looked back, it was Hu Yu who was running all the way.
"Oh, but I'm exhausted, and there are new wounds on my legs," said Hu Yu, who was breathing heavily.
Seeing his anxious look, Gan Ning looked puzzled, "Why are you so anxious? Why don't you stay over there and distribute the money?"
"Don't worry, uncle, according to normal circumstances, the nine boxes should be empty by now."
"Oh?" Gan Ning was a little surprised at first, but then he was pleased. "Thanks to the soldiers I brought out, the speed is half as fast as mine."
After finishing speaking, Gan Ning walked out of the grass and prepared to continue walking forward. As soon as he took a step, he was pulled back by Hu Yu.
"What are you doing? Looking for a slap?" Gan Ning, who had a bad temper, immediately let out his anger, and Hu Yu was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hands.
"Uncle, don't be angry. That's where the brothers' families live. There's nothing interesting to see."
"I can't see?" Gan Ning turned his neck, then stretched out his left hand and pressed heavily on Hu Yu's shoulder, frightening him to the point of trembling. "Since they are family members, why do they live separately?
What kind of custom is this? Also, why do you want them to live in such a secret place? Is it because they are afraid that outsiders like me will see them? Ang?"
As Gan Ning got closer and closer, Hu Yu's eyes moved rapidly, but he couldn't give an answer.
"Just think about it here first." Putting these words aside, regardless of Hu Yu's harassment, he quickly walked through the half-person-high fence and came to the group of women.
"Bang!" The woman who first noticed the person coming over dropped the wooden basin in her hand to the ground, and the sound attracted everyone's attention.
"I just took a look, do you need such a big reaction?" Gan Ning scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
But no one answered his question. Instead, everyone knelt on the ground and knelt down to him.
"The customs here are very strange. Why do wives from different families give such great gifts to outsiders?" Gan Ning turned to look at Hu Yu. Hu Yu nodded with a dry smile and said some riddle: "That's it."
"He is lying, we were all kidnapped!" A loud voice reached the ears of everyone present. Gan Ning looked back, but did not see Hu Yu's panicked face.
Among the group of people kowtowing, there was a woman who stood out from the crowd, staring closely at Gan Ning, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, her lips were tightened, and her face was filled with determination, as if she knew that there was a sea of fire ahead, but she still wanted to jump.
Normally, another woman on the right grabbed her arm and asked her to kneel down, but she didn't move at all.
"Didn't I tell you to keep a close watch on this crazy bitch from Lao Cui's family? Why did she let her run out? Send her back quickly!" Regardless of Gan Ning's wishes, Hu Yu yelled at the women and hurriedly
He sent his confidants there to take her back to the house.
"Wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry." After Gan Ning called for a timeout, his second-in-command, with quick eyesight and quick hands, immediately blocked his henchman's way.
Seeing that something was wrong, Hu Yu quickly came to Gan Ning and said with a villainous face, "Uncle, you don't know something. This little daughter-in-law has some brain problems and often talks nonsense. I'd better send her back first.
Don’t disturb your interest, right?”
But Gan Ning ignored her at all. Instead, he pushed Hu Yu aside and asked the woman, "Is there something wrong with your mind?"
Although she knew this was confirming the situation, this sentence felt strange, but the woman didn't care and shook her head wildly to show that it was okay.
"Tell me, what is going on with you?"
When she got the chance to speak, the woman walked up to Gan Ning and knelt down, her eyes lost in memories. "Returning to the general's words, the girl's name is Zhang Lu. She lives in Xipo Village, Wu County, Yangzhou. Her family has made a living by fishing for generations.
Four years ago, as before, I went fishing in the afternoon and when I was about to return home, Hu Yu and his men ran out from all directions. All the more than 20 fishing boats including mine were intercepted, and all the men were arrested.
Killed on the spot, all the women were brought to this land and became prostitutes, prostitutes and slaves who were wantonly abused by them.
In the past five years, as far as I know, no less than a hundred sisters have lost their lives because of these beasts. I beg you, sir, to save us!"
He kowtowed again, causing all the women behind him to repeat this action. This scene is very memorable for people.
"Uncle! Grandpa! This is a frame-up! A naked frame-up!" Hu Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, defending himself.
Zhang Lu directly took off her clothes, exposing the skin of her upper body, and exposed her back to Gan Ning, who was slightly shocked.
"Your Majesty, it is clear that civilian girls dare not lie. All the wounds that your Majesty saw were left by these beasts!" Her moist eyes could no longer be controlled and flowed down her cheeks to the ground.
"Uncle...ah!" Hu Yu still wanted to speak, but now Gan Ning would not give him a chance to quibble, so he greeted him with a punch, hitting him in the head until he was a little confused.
Gan Ning took a few steps forward, grabbed two women's arms at random, rolled up their sleeves, and saw scars in front of his eyes.
"How many people are there besides you?"
"My lord, there are a total of two hundred people here, but they have more than one nest, so I can't tell how many there are in total."
After getting the approximate number of people, Gan Ning passed everyone and walked to the outside of the house. Through the window, he saw that there were many women inside, basically looking after children.
"Are these children all born after they were snatched here?"
"As the adults said, before, there were many women like me who couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the sea with their children to commit suicide." Looking back on all the past events, not to mention Zhang Lu, even the remaining women could not bear the humiliation.
I couldn't stop sobbing.
After hearing the narration, Gan Ning was so angry that he cracked the bones in his hands. He grabbed Hu Yu by the collar and asked loudly, "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are in front of you, what else do you have to say?"
Hu Yu, who was caught tightly, still refused to give up and said, "I snatched them well, but it was not for myself. It was all for the more than 20,000 brothers under my command. I was just helping them solve the problem."
Just the most basic needs.”
Looking at Hu Yu who placed himself on a high moral level, Gan Ning snorted coldly and asked, "According to what you say, you are robbing civilian girls for the sake of your thieves?"
"That's right, if I want to be the boss, I must let them convince me and support me. If they need a woman, then I will give it to them!" At this point, Hu Yu's eyes rolled and she smiled.
Face. "If you are willing, uncle, you can stay in this village. Why do you have to work for the dog court? If you agree, I will give you the position of leader willingly. You and I will join forces, land, food,
Money and women can be enjoyed and used inexhaustibly!"
Faced with such a warm invitation, Gan Ning looked up to the sky and laughed. Then Hu Yu seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked, "Did the uncle agree?"
Gan Ning didn't reply, just smiled and patted his fat face, and then at lightning speed that no one noticed, he slashed his neck with a flying knife. Hu Yu's face was stunned, and blood spurted out.
Zhang Lu was so frightened that she shouted and backed away.
"Here comes someone! The leader has been killed! Hurry..." Hu Yu's confidants shouted anxiously to the surroundings. Seeing this, Deputy Gan Ning quickly drew his sword and touched his neck, attracting the group of women again.
scream.
"Avenge the leader!"
Before Gan Ning could speak to his deputy, dozens of thieves ran out from the direction he came from.
"Hey, they are such a good bunch of dogs. They smelled the stench so quickly." Gan Ning took the Crescent Blue Dragon Halberd from his deputy and blew on the blade. "Go and bring these women into the house, be careful of getting hurt.
they"
"Okay!" Faced with Gan Ning's order, the deputy carried it out without saying a word. It's not that he wasn't worried about whether Gan Ning could beat him, it was just because he followed him when he was a pirate and knew that Gan Ning could defeat him.
Ning's strength is simply not enough for Gan Ning to kill these scoundrels.
Sure enough, with just a cup of tea, dozens of thieves were lying on the ground. The only one who took advantage of the chaos and tried to escape was killed by Gan Ning with a flying knife.
"Huzi, please keep an eye on this. I'll go over there. If anything happens to them, I'll ask you for questions!"
"Don't worry, boss, Zhong Hu will guarantee it with his life!" Deputy Zhong Hu understands Gan Ning's mood very well. Anyone who mentions this matter will be angry.
With anger, Gan Ning quickly came to the camp in front. He saw soldiers from both sides using the camp gate as the boundary. The thieves were sitting inside and Gan Ning's soldiers were sitting outside. They were silent and even seemed to be at war with each other.
"Boss!" After seeing Gan Ning coming, who among the tens of thousands of soldiers dared to neglect him? They all quickly slapped the dirt on their butts and stood ready.
"Let me ask you, are all the thieves here?"
"No, there are still some who have just taken a boat to the sandbank next door."
"Got it!" Gan Ning raised his green dragon halberd high and shouted, "The whole army is ready for war!"
Upon hearing this, not only the soldiers, but also the thieves on the other side quickly drew their weapons.
Gan Ning stretched out his hand and pointed at the thieves, without any mercy, only with anger in his mouth: "Kill! No one will be spared!"
