Chapter 354: Settling the Girls
"Master Xia, you never thought that this day would come. You better die slowly, or I will chop you into pieces."
As he spoke, June stabbed the dagger in Xia Zhuangtou's abdomen.
The other girls who were rescued from the dungeon, the brave ones also asked Ye Jintang for a dagger. Even if they could not kill Xia Zhuangtou, they would stab him a few times to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
"it is good."
Ye Jintang agreed readily and gave each person a dagger.
Furong, who was not angry at all just now, finally came to her senses when she saw so many sisters going to Zhaxia Village with daggers in their hands.
She took the dagger and stabbed it viciously into Xia Zhuangtou's neck.
"go to hell."
Furong was like a madman, constantly stabbing Xia Zhuangtou with the dagger, wishing she could turn him into a hornet's nest.
In the end, Xia Zhuangtou was stabbed dozens of times, ending his sinful life.
Even though Xia Zhuangtou was dead, Furong still had no intention of stopping. She was covered in blood and looked very crazy.
"Liuli, go grab Furong and give her a tranquilizer so she can have a good sleep."
"As for the corpse of Xia Zhuangtou, it was thrown directly outside the village to feed the wolves."
Xiao Mo stood in the outer room, waiting for things to be over.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, occasionally mixed with the low sobbing of a woman.
He didn't say anything, just looked at the gentle sunlight outside.
The girls who had just been rescued were mentally frightened and some of them were injured. It was almost noon when they were completely settled.
"Jintang, have you thought about how to place the girls on the farm?"
Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo came out of the house side by side. The midday sun was obviously very warm, but Ye Jintang's heart was cold at this moment.
She knew that the Hua family was trafficking in people, but she didn't expect that they treated good girls like livestock. Didn't Hua Cailiang know about this? Didn't the rest of the Hua family know about this?
They knew it all, but no one stood up for these women, damn them.
Today, Ye Jintang rescued only a small part of the girls who had suffered inhuman torture over the years. Before this, no one knew how many women had been ruined by the Hua family.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang wished he could cut Hua Cailiang into pieces and drag all the members of the three Hua family clans to the vegetable market to be beheaded.
"Let them stay at the farm for a few days. When the snow on the official road melts a little, I will have someone bring them back to the city."
"I've already thought about it. The rouge workshop and the pastry workshop are both in need of female workers. The girls from the farm can be placed in the workshops. But I want to ask Manager Qiao to find them a place to live first. The current one is a bit small."
"Can you use so many people?"
"It's not a big problem. If things don't work out, we can still use Bencaotang."
Other workshops may not need too many people now, but at Bencaotang, as long as she has a few more prescriptions, she will need a large number of people to help make the medicine.
In this way, she can accommodate more than 100 female workers, let alone more.
This winter she will produce a large number of various medicine bags and pills. When the ice and snow melt and the official roads are open again in the spring of next year, she will send out all her business teams and let them turn all the goods she has accumulated over the winter into cash.
In addition to various medicines, rouge and powder, Ye Jintang also prepared to brew wine.
The thing she has the most in her space is a variety of high-quality grains. As long as the quality of the wine she brews is high enough, it won’t take long for her to open up the market in Tianqin.
At that time, even if he didn't use the money in her space, Xiao Mo could use the money he earned from business to help him support an army of hundreds of thousands of people.
Maintaining an army naturally requires logistics, so these poor girls will have work to do and food to eat to keep themselves alive.
"Okay, everything is up to you."
Xiao Mo nodded very seriously, and Ye Jintang said yes, that would definitely be no problem, he just needed to follow her plan.
"Once the snow melts a bit, I want to clean up the other cities that are trafficking people as soon as possible."
Ye Jintang has seen the account books sent from other cities. The mayors of three other cities have learned human trafficking from Hua Cailiang. They must have a lot of people detained there. Even if their situation is a little better than here, it is not much better. Ye Jintang hopes to rescue these girls as soon as possible.
"Okay, after we get back to the city, I'll have people prepare to go to other cities to rescue people."
It is almost impossible to melt the snow completely. Xiao Mo plans to clear the official road and take over the five cities around Ningchuan City first. As for other cities, he can only do it slowly.
It was already late when we returned to Ningchuan City in the afternoon, and the icy official road was really difficult to walk on.
As soon as the two returned to the palace, Shi Bin hurried over with the account book.
"The Ke family is not much better than the Hua family. The Ke family has tens of thousands of acres of prime farmland outside the city, but they actually asked refugees to farm it all. They only give them one meal a day, but make them do such heavy farm work. Even an old ox would not be treated so humiliatingly."
Shi Bin handed the account book to Xiao Mo angrily.
The account book only records the annual harvest, and the expenses are almost negligible.
The refugees died of starvation and disease, but it wouldn’t be long before new refugees would come to fill their vacancies. The Ke family was not worried at all that there would be no one to cultivate their farmland.
"Birds of a feather flock together. There's a reason why Ke Wenhai and Hua Cailiang are so close. In order to squeeze the people's money, the two have long since forgotten how to write the word conscience."
"My Lord, will you spare Ke Wenhai's life?"
"Of course not. He is Lady Ke's father. So what? If I want him to die, he must die."
Xiao Mo already had a lot of evidence of Ke Wenhai's crimes. Harsh treatment of refugees was only the most insignificant one among them. If he wanted him dead, he had to bring up the issue of taxes and silver as well.
The day for the public trial of Hua Cailiang and Ke Wenhai soon arrived.
A large open space was specially cleared at the market in the east of Ningchuan City, where Xiao Mo publicly tried the two men.
The East City Market was crowded with people early in the morning, and everyone wanted to see how Xiao Mo would deal with Luo Hua Cailiang.
When Xiao Mo and his group arrived, there were so many people in the market that he almost couldn't squeeze in.
Ye Jintang did not come with Xiao Mo today, and only sent Zhou Cong to take a look.
"Madam, Hua Cailiang has already been beheaded. I heard that Madam Yang saw Hua Cailiang's head fall to the ground and died with him right away."
"Oh, I never realized that Madam Yang had such deep feelings for Hua Cailiang that she even died for him."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Madam Yang did not commit suicide for Hua Cailiang. She just heard that the Yang family did not care about her life or death, and even cut off all ties with her. That's why she was so angry that she died of anger."
Ye Jintang, who was writing a prescription in the room, was surprised to hear Zhou Cong say this.
As far as she knew, the Yang family was considered a big family in Yushan City, and Madam Yang was a married woman. No matter how involved they were, they had nothing to do with the Yang family. It was really disheartening that they were so eager to cut off ties with Madam Yang.
