Chapter 197 Aiding the wicked is unforgivable!
In front of the Yuan family's gate, blood gathered into small streams, and the stone-paved ground was covered in crimson.
Chen Dao avoided the blood on the ground, approached Xu Zhiwen, and asked, "All the warriors of the Yuan family are dead. What does Magistrate Xu plan to do next?"
"Of course, we must search the Yuan family's property thoroughly."
Xu Zhiwen stroked his beard and walked into the Yuan family's house first, followed by Li Hu, Chen Dao, and Chen Cheng.
As Chen Dao stepped through the gate and entered the Yuan family's residence, the first thing he noticed was the silence. There wasn't a single person in the front yard or the main hall of the Yuan family's residence!
Of course, the Yuan family couldn't possibly only consist of the martial artists killed by Chen Dao and the others; there must be quite a few people hiding in the backyard.
Xu Zhiwen was aware of this, so he did not linger in the front yard and went straight to the back yard.
Upon entering the backyard, Xu Zhiwen saw a group of women, all dressed in bright colors, clearly female members of the Yuan family, along with many maids and servants.
Of course, besides women, there were also many men, including the steward Yuan Fu, as well as the offspring of Yuan Ju, Yuan Long, Yuan Xiong, and others.
At this moment, the women and men huddled together, looking at Xu Zhiwen who had walked in with fear on their faces. They already knew what had happened in front of their house, and they also knew that all the Yuan family's martial artists had died. Now, Xu Zhiwen and his group, who had won, were the ones who would decide their fate.
"Yuan Ju is truly blessed with good fortune in love!"
Following Xu Zhiwen into the backyard, Chen Dao couldn't help but sneer. Among the women in the backyard, there were at least a dozen still charming women. Chen Dao guessed that they were Yuan Ju's wives and concubines. In addition, there were many beautiful young women. Judging from their gorgeous clothes, they must have a high status in the Yuan family. They were very likely Yuan Ju's concubines or something similar.
"The Yuan family has always been full of lecherous men!"
Xu Zhiwen also mocked, "Yuan Yong is a lecher and loves women. Yuan Ju is no less so. He has at least a dozen wives and concubines at home, and more than 20 children. Even pigs can't reproduce as many as him."
Hearing the two mocking Yuan Ju, the people in the backyard dared not utter a word, only staring at Xu Zhiwen with fear in their eyes, waiting for Xu Zhiwen to decide their fate.
After mocking Yuan Ju, Xu Zhiwen looked at Chen Dao and tentatively asked, "Young friend Chen, what do you think should be done with these women?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao fell into deep thought. To be honest, he didn't enjoy killing. The reason he stormed into the Yuan family was simply because the Yuan family threatened his life and property. But what about the women and underage boys of the Yuan family...
They posed no threat to him, so Chen Dao would feel somewhat reluctant to let Chen Dao kill them!
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Chen Dao hesitated, a sound came from a room to the side.
"Cheng-ge, go and take a look!"
Chen Dao gestured for Chen Cheng to go and take a look. Chen Cheng, without suspicion, walked directly to the door and kicked it open!
As the door collapsed with a crash, the scene inside the room immediately stunned Chen Dao, Xu Zhiwen, Li Hu, and Chen Cheng!
Inside the room, women lay sprawled about, some half-clothed, others completely naked, each bearing wounds of varying degrees, a truly horrifying sight!
"Sir, please save us!"
A woman rushed out the door, knelt before Chen Cheng, and pleaded repeatedly, "Please! Save us!"
Looking at the woman covered in wounds in front of him, Chen Cheng's pupils dilated, and he was speechless for a moment.
Chen Dao, his face grim, walked up to the woman, helped her up, and asked, "Who are you people?"
"We fled from Liangzhou!"
Seemingly reminded of painful memories, the woman burst into tears, saying, "We thought that once we escaped to Taiping County, we would have a better life, but who would have thought that we would encounter such a thing here..."
As the woman slowly arrived, Chen Dao and the others finally learned about her experiences.
These women, like the refugees outside the city, had fled from Liangzhou. They had thought that once they arrived in Taiping County, they would finally have a full meal, but little did they expect...
Upon arrival, they were met with hell!
Upon arriving outside Taiping County, the first people they encountered were the stewards of the Yuan family, who were recruiting servants. For refugees, becoming a servant in a large family was not an unacceptable thing, so many people were tempted and wanted to become servants in the Yuan family.
However... to the surprise of these refugees, the Yuan family only recruited women, and only young women. At first, the refugees didn't think much of it, assuming that the Yuan family was short of maids. As a result, a large number of young women became servants of the Yuan family, thinking that by becoming maids of the Yuan family, they could at least have enough to eat.
But what happened next was completely different from what they had imagined. When they arrived at the Yuan family, they were not required to do the work of maids, but rather... the work of prostitutes in a brothel!
Yes, the Yuan family brought them in precisely to provide a place for the men of the Yuan family to vent their desires, and not just ordinary venting of desires, but... venting through physical torture!
While satisfying their desires, the men of the Yuan family also used tools such as whips and sticks to torture the women's bodies to vent their bestiality. In recent days, these women have suffered greatly, with new wounds appearing on their bodies every day, and even...
Some women, being physically weak, were tortured to death in this room...
After listening to the woman's story, Chen Dao's face turned extremely ugly, and even Xu Zhiwen, Li Hu, and Chen Cheng's faces were so gloomy they looked like they were about to drip water.
The Yuan family's behavior has gone beyond the realm of humanity; they are no different from animals!
The refugees outside the city were already suffering enough, but they were further deceived by the women among them, imprisoning them in their homes for the pleasure of their tribesmen…
Xu Zhiwen turned to look at the butler Yuan Fu, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "You did this, didn't you?"
Xu Zhiwen knew very well that Yuan Fu was Yuan Fu's steward, and Yuan Fu had always been in charge of things like purchasing servants.
"Master Xu!"
Xu Fu immediately knelt down, trembling with fear, and said, "This is something the patriarch instructed me to do. I have never touched these women!"
Yuan Fu was nearly seventy years old, and his teeth were almost all gone. Where would he get the strength to do such lewd things? In fact, these women were mostly for the pleasure of the Yuan family's martial artists. As for Yuan Fu... even if he wanted to, he was powerless to do so!
"is it?"
Xu Zhiwen ignored Yuan Fu's explanation and grabbed Yuan Fu by the neck: "Even if you never touched him, those who aid and abet evil are equally unforgivable!"
Click!
With a single pull, Xu Zhiwen snapped Yuan Fu's neck, and his head lolled to the side, whereupon he stopped breathing.
