As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 715: A Family with a Clear Divide between Wei and Jing

"You barbarians, even pigs and dogs wouldn't eat the food sent to you, and yet you dare to treat me like this? Where is your master? I want to see him! Let him chop off your head!" The speaker was pot-bellied and pointed at the jailer in a stern manner.

Although he was in prison, he seemed certain that the people of Suling County would not dare to go too far toward him as the uncle of the lord of Zhuoli County.

Most of the high officials in Zhuoli County were relatives of Yu Wei, which had the advantage of strong cohesion and could consolidate the position of the lord. But the disadvantage was also obvious, the people in power did not look at their abilities, and there were often some drunkards.

If they just sit in office and do nothing, the only ones who suffer are the common people.

This is the case with Yu Jin, the headman of Jintang Town.

When Jiang Ran stepped into Jintang Town, the first thing she noticed was the muddy road. Even the main road was only paved with a layer of sand and gravel, and it was in tatters, causing the carriage to be bumpy while driving.

Looking at the entire Yunshang area, Zhuoli County can barely be considered a wealthy county, but no one cares about the roads in Jintang Town. One can imagine who pockets the little grain and taxes handed over by the people.

Jiang Ran's arrival attracted the attention of the prisoners in the prison. The noisy environment suddenly became silent. Everyone stared with astonishment in their eyes, following the footsteps of the newcomer.

"You're already a prisoner in jail but still so rampant. It seems that I, Su Ling, have been too kind to you and didn't impose any punishment on you to shut up your chattering dirty mouth." As soon as Tian Jing came in, he heard Yu Jin's arrogant words. His thick brows furrowed, and a murderous intent suddenly arose.

Tian Jing was a man who came from a sea of ​​blood and corpses. His murderous aura scared the pampered Yu Jin half to death. The finger he pointed forward trembled, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time, so he put it down unconsciously.

The more arrogant he was just now, the more cowardly he is now.

Jiang Ran glanced coldly at the group of people in the cell.

All the people imprisoned in this cell were Yu Jin's close relatives and wives and concubines.

Yu Jin was fat and old, but he was still dissolute. He was only a village headman, but he had thirty or forty wives, and his bunch of beauties filled several cells.

And these were only the wives and concubines in public; there were countless women who were poisoned among the people.

The cell was gloomy and cold, and the chill could penetrate into the bone marrow. Yu Jin felt that his cotton-padded jacket was not warm enough, so he draped around his neck and body seven or eight jackets and skirts that he had snatched from his wives and concubines.

His close relatives, such as his parents in their seventies and his direct descendants who usually acted arrogantly, also followed suit. The weak ones drew their swords against the weaker ones and snatched a lot of clothes from others and put them on their bodies.

Looking at the other side, people in thin clothes had blue lips from the cold, their hands and feet were numb from the cold, and they hugged each other to keep warm. Looking closely, there were children of several years old in the middle of the group - they were all members of the Yu family whose clothes had been robbed.

These people should obviously be one family, but they are divided into robbers and the robbed. The two are clearly distinguished, and the evil of human nature is fully demonstrated at this moment.

And Yu Jin is so selfish even to his own family, not to mention how he treats the people in the town.

"Who are you?" A young man next to Yu Jin came closer, with his fat face pressed against the iron bars, staring at Jiang Ran with his eyes fixed. The look was disgusting. Tian Jing frowned and gouged out his eyes without hesitation.

This brutal scene frightened many people.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"My precious son!!!" A woman was horrified and rushed over crying. A pair of round eyes rolled to Yu Jin's feet, frightening him so much that his legs went limp and he sat on the ground, looking like a weak shrimp.

"My eyes!! I'm going to kill you!! Kill you!!"

There was a sudden chaos in the cell, but Jiang Ran, who was in the center, didn't care at all and ignored the noise around her.

"Weak." Jiang Ran looked at the people huddled together, with no mercy, looking down on them from top to bottom, "When you were in the cell, there was no difference between you two, and even then, your warm clothes were still taken away."

The smell of blood made many people retreat, but Jiang Ran's words also gave a little courage to the few people who gathered together for warmth.

The first to act was a girl in her teens. She glanced at Jiang Ran timidly. The latter's calm expression seemed to give her courage. She quickly crawled out, stepped over the bloody eyeballs, and snatched her clothes from a boy. "These are my clothes, give them back to me."

"This belongs to my mother." What was surprising was that she was incredibly strong. After taking back her own clothes, she also pulled her mother's clothes from several adults, trying to get them back.

"Little beast!" The people on Yu Jin's side naturally refused. How could they be afraid of a little girl? But unexpectedly, several people together could not subdue the girl who had been hungry and cold for a long time. In just a moment, she took back what belonged to her.

The girl put on her cloak like a winner, and others saw this and swarmed over.

"Stop, those are my clothes! Don't grab them! Don't grab them."

With just one sentence from Jiang Ran and in just a moment, the already disunited Yu Jin family became even more divided.

Jiang Ran remained silent, and the others did not take any presumptuous action either. They all watched coldly what was happening in the prison.

When both parties were exhausted, Jiang Ran nodded and said to the jailer, "Begin the interrogation."

Zhuoli County took the initiative to provoke Suling County, which had two masters in the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm. In addition to being forced to do so due to the lack of food due to drought, it must have had a backup plan.

As the cousin of the county lord of Zhuoli County, Yu Jin is very likely to know something.

Jiang Ran came to Jintang Town for a reason.

However, unexpectedly, Yu Jin, who seemed timid and cowardly, kept his mouth shut even under severe torture. It was a cold day, and the jailer waved the whip for a long time and sweated profusely, but he could not get any information from Yu Jin about Zhuo Li's next move.

"I don't know anything." Yu Jin's face showed fear, his clothes were stained with blood, and he fainted again and again in pain. He kept shouting that he didn't know.

The people of Suling were puzzled, thinking that this fat and big-eared Yu Jin really knew nothing, and that Zhuoli County might not have any special backup plans.

The interrogation method in Suling County was simple and crude, and too immature. Jiang Ran could actually use soul-stealing to directly absorb Yu Jin's memory, but she always liked to train the abilities of her subordinates first. But now that Yu Jin couldn't say anything and the jailer was helpless, she planned to use soul-stealing to find out the truth.

Just as they were about to implement it, a timid little girl's voice was heard, echoing in the cell, "If I tell you, can you let me and my mother out, and give us food?"

Yu Jin's eyes widened, "You..." Impossible. Zhuo Li's secret was only known by a few members of the Yu family. Not even his successor knew it. How could a daughter born to a kidnapped bitch know anything?
