Chapter 157 A Beautiful Woman in Men's Clothes
Ying'er immediately knelt down and cried:
"I only wish to serve the Master and the Ladies wholeheartedly. I will do my best and will not slack off for even a moment. I hope the Village Master and the Master will fulfill my wish."
Chen Shuozhen said: "Don't be afraid. From now on, when you take Auntie's monthly allowance, you just need to watch over Miss Bao and don't let her make any mistakes."
It turns out that he wanted me to be a little imperial servant!
Hearing this, Ying'er looked up at Cao Rui for confirmation.
Cao Rui pulled her up, held her in his arms to comfort her, and confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Ying'er immediately burst into laughter. With the monthly allowance from her aunt and a clear mission, it didn't seem so bad even if she had to make a living under Xue Baochai in the future.
Afterwards, Cao Rui, Chen Shuozhen and Ying'er went to see Xue Baochai together to explain their purpose.
In response to this, Xue Baochai remained calm, thinking that this was a matter of course. If no one was arranged to monitor her, she would be even more uneasy.
She smiled and took Ying'er's hand, saying softly:
"Ying'er, we should get along like sisters from now on."
Ying'er was so moved that she nodded repeatedly. It was like who couldn't act out the affectionate sisterhood. Unless the supervisor and the supervised were in collusion, there would never be a good relationship between them.
It's good to know this kind of thing. Xue Baochai continued:
"Master, Madam, my brother Xue Fan is unruly and has no rules. If he cannot be disciplined, it is best not to let him go down the mountain, lest he cause trouble."
Just at this moment, a leader came to report that he had caught a scum who stabbed his own brother to death with a knife because of jealousy over a widow. How should he be dealt with?
Cao Rui's eyes lit up and he had an idea in his mind. He took over the matter from Chen Shuozhen and ordered someone to bring Xue Fan to the execution platform.
"Brother Cao, what are we going to do?"
Xue Fan originally wanted to call him dad, but looking at Cao Rui's face which looked younger than his, he didn't have the courage to say that out loud.
Cao Rui pointed at the prisoner who was tied up on the execution platform and said:
"It's normal to be jealous over a woman, but this guy didn't use his brain and didn't consider the consequences. He even stabbed his own brother to death. Just open your eyes and see what will happen to him."
The prisoner shouted angrily upon hearing this:
"I became a bandit because I wanted to divide the gold with a big scale, eat big chunks of meat, and play with women to my heart's content. You guys in Yushan won't allow me to do this or that. What kind of bandit are you? Kill me if you have the guts. I'll still be a hero eighteen years later."
Cao Rui snorted coldly: "Being a bandit in other places is indeed lawless, but in Yushan, you must abide by the rules. Brothers killing each other is an unforgivable crime."
Xue Fan's expression gradually became strange. He was forced to move to Shenjing with his family to seek refuge with the Jia family because he accidentally killed someone while competing for Xiangling.
If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have fallen into the bandits' den, been beaten, and been exposed to the sun, and even his mother would not have been forced to remarry.
Painful realization!
Then, Cao Rui let Xue Fan know what true heart-wrenching pain was. He kicked out with his shadowless foot, hitting the prisoner in the crotch.
There was a loud snap and then the sound of chickens flying and eggs breaking.
Talent: Egg Crusher, number of people unlocked +1.
The prisoner let out a horrific howl, his whole body curled up in pain, foaming at the mouth, and he fainted.
Xue Pan was so frightened that he subconsciously clamped his legs together, as if the kick was aimed at himself.
The bandits around were similar, all transformed into Wudang sect members, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.
Cao Rui asked someone to stop the prisoner's bleeding and bandage his wound.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, you little white face, you're going to die a horrible death..."
When the prisoner regained consciousness, he fell into a state of hysterics.
Some leaders wanted to slap him in the face.
Cao Rui waved his hand to stop them, but issued a strange order, asking the bandits around to turn their backs, with the exception of Xue Fan.
"Okay."
After saying that, he summoned fifteen rays of life light, which gathered together and turned into invisible blades to slash at the prisoner.
These life auras come from the gift [The World is Worth It·Ball-Headed Lovely Wife], and the special effect is that every time He Xiulian lives one more day, a life aura will condense.
Each ray of life energy can offset one year of the enemy's lifespan.
When the invisible blade hit the prisoner, a strange scene appeared. His face began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wrinkles quickly appeared on his face, his hair turned gray and thin, and his eyes went from angry and crazy to cloudy and dull.
In just a moment, he seemed to have aged fifteen years.
"This……"
Xue Fan stared at the scene with wide eyes, horrified, and suddenly fell to his knees:
"Dad, for my mother's sake, please don't kill me!"
The prisoner, having aged, seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with despair and regret.
That's horrible!
Xue Fan didn't dare to look at it again, for fear of having a nightmare when he returned home at night.
Cao Rui was unwilling to let this disobedient son go, so he threw a knife on the ground and scolded:
"Pick up the knife and kill the bastard who murdered our brothers, or you will die in his place!"
Xue Fan looked at the knife on the ground with trembling hands, then at the old and frail prisoner lying on the ground, feeling extremely frightened.
But under the threat of Cao Rui's death, he still picked up the knife, walked over, and chopped with the knife, splashing blood.
The younger sister has already pledged her allegiance, so how can the older brother be an exception?
It has to be said that talents like the Egg Crusher can only be quickly unlocked in the feudal era when human life is worthless, or in the end times.
Like in the world of the times, if someone explodes other people's eggs for no reason, once the number of people explodes reaches a certain level, everyone will feel insecure, and this will definitely lead to an iron-fisted suppression.
……
After successively conquering Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Xue Fan, Chen Shuozhen set out first to explore the way to Jinling City, temporarily handing over the affairs of the stronghold to Chen Tieshan, a trusted clansman left by her father.
Cao Rui was also not idle. As the male owner of the Xue family, he held a large conversation with the Xue family's housekeeper, accountant, servants, maids and old women.
These people are rare talents who have mastered certain skills and are even literate.
It would be a pity to kill them all. If they could be digested and absorbed, it would undoubtedly greatly increase Yushan’s soft power.
Cao Rui said frankly that the Xue family had reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation with the Chen village leader, and their complementary advantages would surely enable the declining Xue family to regain its former glory.
He looked at the people in the audience, imitated the posture of a leader in a meeting, and said in a resounding voice:
"You are all the Xue family's capable weapons. As long as you are loyal and work hard for the future of the Xue family and the village, you will soon be free again and enjoy endless benefits."
Everyone looked at each other, with doubts and a hint of expectation in their hearts.
They thought to themselves that the words of the new master seemed full of hope, but they did not dare to believe it easily. After all, they were in this mountain village and their future was uncertain.
However, when Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, and Xue Pan expressed their opinions one after another, proving that what Cao Rui said was true, people's hearts began to waver.
When Cao Rui announced that he would select ten people with good performance and bring them to live in Jinling, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely warm.
They were all thinking about their recent performance in their minds, wondering if they could become one of the ten lucky ones?
Some felt regretful, some were secretly happy, and some looked around to see other people's reactions.
……
After the general meeting, have a small meeting.
Cao Rui directly asked Xue Baochai to choose a reliable candidate, asked Xiangling to pack her luggage, and asked Aunt Xue to keep an eye on Fairy Jinghuan.
After everything was settled, they got on the Xue family's luxury carriages and headed for Jinling City.
After a long journey, the group just arrived at the prosperous Jinling City. Before they even stepped into the city gate, they saw a group of soldiers searching for the fugitives aggressively.
People on the streets were in panic, avoiding the area as much as possible.
Cao Rui frowned slightly, thinking that the city of Jinling seemed to be not peaceful.
Behind him are all female relatives, all of them are as beautiful as flowers. If they are forced to get off the car for inspection by officers and soldiers, no one knows what will happen.
Just when I was worried, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
It was Chen Shuozhen, who used the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant to disguise himself as Shen Zhiqi, who said a few words to the deputy governor who led the team.
The carriage team of Cao Rui and others was allowed into the city and had a smooth journey.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, the Shen family in Jinling, Chen Shuozhen appeared again, bringing a man and a woman to hitchhike.
Chen Shuozhen's movements were swift and decisive, while the man seemed a little nervous and uneasy.
The woman was dressed in men's clothes, but anyone who was not blind could tell that she was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.
The appearance of three strangers instantly made the atmosphere in the carriage tense, and the women were secretly on guard.
Cao Rui comforted him by saying that they were one of his own, and then asked what was going on.
Chen Shuozhen looked calm and whispered, "Brother Cao, don't say anything. Let's talk about it at my house."
