Wife is hell

Chapter 56 The Yang Family Annihilation
Yang Mansion.

The night was as dark as ink, and a torrential downpour began.

The once brightly lit mansion is now only adorned with plain white lanterns hanging in the mourning hall and a few other places, swaying precariously in the night wind and casting a somber shadow.

Inside the hall, Yang Litie, the eldest son of the Yang family and the current head of the family, had a livid face and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground.

"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"

Yang Litie's eyes were bloodshot. "The county government is incompetent! The patrol officers are a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

My younger brother was just buried, and then my mother died.

The series of blows nearly drove the man insane.

Several members of the Yang family standing nearby also looked indignant.

Madam Li gently stroked her husband's back: "My lord, don't get too angry and harm your health..."

Yang Litie shoved her hand away and roared at the torrential rain outside the door:

"That ungrateful wretch Yu Zhengqing! Who did he rely on to get the position of deputy head of the patrol office? It was our Yang family!"
Now that my brother and mother are dead, he doesn't dare utter a single word, all for the sake of his own official position! Everything he has was given to him by the Yang family!

"That's right! If it weren't for the old man's support back then, what would Yu Zhengqing be!"

"I told you long ago that sons-in-law who live with their wives' families are unreliable, and now it has indeed come true."

"They probably wanted to get rid of the Yang family a long time ago, and this is a good opportunity to use someone else to do their dirty work."

The clansmen all echoed this sentiment.

Li said in a low voice, "Tang Jinxian said that my brother-in-law and mother-in-law were both harmed by spirits."

"fart!"

Yang Litie's temples bulged with veins. "When my brother died, that brat from the Shi family was there! When my mother was murdered, that bastard named Mu Jiang was there with a blood-stained knife!"

If they didn't kill them, then who else could it be?

"What utter nonsense about spirits! It's clearly a load of gibberish made up by that slut Tang Jinxian to exonerate her kept man!"

When he spoke of his painful past, his voice choked with emotion, and tears streamed down his face.
"As the elder brother and son, I couldn't even avenge my loved ones... How can I face them in the afterlife... I am an unfilial son..."

Li's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Husband, if the open road is blocked, why don't we... take the hidden road?"

"Ok?"

Yang Litie raised his tearful eyes.

A glint of malice flashed in Li's eyes: "Secretly find some desperate criminals and kill their families as well! Let them taste the pain of losing loved ones."

Yang Litie gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you think I don't want to? These days, the patrol officers are watching us day and night. Even if we succeed, the first family to be suspected will be our Yang family."

"Just find some skilled assassins, offer plenty of money, and there's nothing in this world that money can't buy."

Li's tone grew colder, "As for suspicion... let them suspect. As long as they can't find any real evidence, what can they do to us?"

A tribesman with a sinister face immediately chimed in:

"Brother, sister-in-law is absolutely right. I know a few ruthless bandits from the north. They'll do anything for enough money!"

"Yes, there's also the Ghost and Demon Gang in the South of the City, they specialize in this kind of business!"

"If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly!"

The group started discussing how to hire someone to commit murder and how to absolve themselves of any responsibility...

"You guys are having a great chat, why don't I join in?"

A lazy, laughing voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the shadows of the corner, a young man was sitting on a chair.

"Who...who are you!?"

Yang Litie was stunned for a moment.

How did someone suddenly appear in the lobby out of nowhere?
He immediately flew into a rage: "What are these servants good for? Guards!"

"Stop yelling."

Jiang Mu rubbed his throbbing temples hard to relieve the intense dizziness caused by passing through walls repeatedly.

After feeling a little better, he smiled brightly at everyone.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Mu Jiang."

Mujiang? !
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted in uproar.

"You...you weren't locked up in jail?!" Li's hand trembled as she pointed at him.

Jiang Mu picked up an empty teacup, poured half a cup from the teapot on the table, and said with a smile:

"The officials above thought I was innocent, so they released me and sent me here to apologize to you. I was afraid of being turned away, so I sneaked in. I'm sorry."

Released?

Everyone looked grim.

Yang Litie laughed in fury: "I knew it! I knew these corrupt officials would protect each other, not a single one of them is any good!"

An older member of the Yang clan said coldly:
"Mu Jiang, you've got some nerve, coming all this way alone. Since you're here to apologize, you should kneel and kowtow before Madam's spirit tablet first! Instead of joking around here!"

Jiang Mu sipped his tea, trying to soothe the backlash from the bell, and said:
"That was my original plan. But then I thought, how can apologizing only to Madam be enough? If we're going to apologize, we should apologize to the entire Yang family... to everyone."

"After all, we're a family, so we should all be together, right?"

Jiang Mu put down his teacup and stood up.

Someone sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted towards the outside of the hall, "Help! Help!"

However, there was only the sound of rain pouring down outside the hall, and no one responded.

The Book of Lord Shang states: "To fight war with war, even war is acceptable. To fight killing with killing, even killing is acceptable. To fight punishment with punishment, even severe punishment is acceptable."

Jiang Mu lightly stroked the runes on the bell with his fingertips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he looked up.

Therefore, using evil to control evil is acceptable, even if it is evil!

"clang--"

A strange sound, like a morning bell, suddenly rang out.

Everyone in the hall, whether they stood frozen in place, tried to escape when things looked bad, or rushed forward in anger... at that moment, they all felt as if their heads had been struck by a heavy hammer!
"what!"

“My head!!”

A jumble of wails replaced the previous angry curses.

Everyone knelt down, clutching their heads, their bodies convulsing violently from the pain, their faces contorted, unable to even utter a complete plea for mercy.

The bell kept ringing.

thump!
An elderly clansman was the first to succumb; thick black blood gushed from his seven orifices, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Then the second, the third...

Jiang Mu stopped ringing the bell only when Yang Litie and his wife were left.

The couple collapsed to the ground, their bodies convulsing.

His face was covered in snot and tears, and blood seeped from the corners of his eyes, ears, and nostrils, making him look miserable.

"Great Immortal, spare me... please spare me..."

Yang Litie, who had been furious earlier, now pleaded for mercy like a dying wild dog, his eyes filled with nothing but fear.

She felt that the man in front of her was a devil.

Exhausted, Jiang Mu sat in a chair, wiping away the blood from his nose, looking somewhat helpless.

Senior sister's magic weapon is too useless.

Fortunately, these guys were all ordinary people who had never cultivated. If they were all replaced by Jiang Zhenzhen, it would be difficult to continue.

Do you have a handkerchief?

Jiang Mu looked at Li Shi.

The woman, trembling with fear, endured the pain and took out a handkerchief, handing it to him.

Jiang Mu took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from his nose. He then tore off a strip of cloth, twisted it into a small ball, and stuffed it into his nostril.

He used his toes to lift the woman's chin and examined her closely, saying, "Quite pretty."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope for survival suddenly flashed in Li's terrified eyes.

She assumed the other person was attracted to her beauty, so she quickly forced a fawning smile, her voice trembling:

"Young Master Mu... if you would be so kind as to spare us... I... I would be willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life..."

Jiang Mu waved his hand:
"Only one person can survive here tonight. You can decide for yourselves. I mean what I say."

The two were stunned.

Looking at his wife beside him, Yang Litie burst into tears:
"She is my dearest and most beloved!"

After saying that, he lunged at the woman and grabbed her neck tightly.
