A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

Always ready to help...

Su Xuance glanced at Renbao, whose face was full of pride, and silently swallowed the words that he wanted to say he wasn't that clever.

"Please sit down first, and tell me your grievances slowly."

Su Xuance looked at Aunt Yin and already had some guesses in his mind.

The highest-ranking official Aunt Yin had ever met was a government clerk, but the man before her was a high-ranking official in the court.

Her face showed fear and unease. She bowed and pleaded, "Lord Su, I am a woman from Qingshui Village, surnamed Yin. I had no choice but to stop the young Taoist priest's carriage today. I beg you to come with me to the village and save the women of our village!"

Luo Xia knelt down as well: "Please, Your Excellency, please, Little Celestial Master."

When the two men mentioned the village, their faces genuinely showed fear and resentment.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened to the women in your village?" Pei Yuru rushed over upon hearing the commotion. She was an impatient person, and seeing them crying with their heads down, she couldn't help but get anxious.

Renbao struggled to get down from Su Xuance's arms.

Su Xuance put her down, and Renbao ran to their side, handing them a handkerchief: "Don't cry, tell us quickly!"

Aunt Yin dared not accept the handkerchief, fearing that the nobleman would be impatient, and choked out, "The men in the village are addicted to gambling. Once they have squandered all their wealth, they will sell their daughters to breed. The good-looking ones will be sold to brothels. We really have no way to survive."

She broke down in tears, kowtowing repeatedly, pleading, "Please, Little Celestial Master, save us."

Pei Yuru felt a chill run down her spine: "Didn't you report it to the authorities?"

"I reported it, but it was no use." Aunt Yin shook her head. "The clan is united. Whenever a woman sneaks out to protect the official, before anyone else arrives, the men in the village stop her at the village entrance with hoes and axes."

The clan chief favored the men, blaming all the blame on the women, claiming it was a family scandal, and that even the authorities couldn't do anything about it.

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuru couldn't help but exclaim, "Absurd!"

Are men human beings, but women are not?

Su Xuance remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I will go to the village with you."

"Thank you very much, Lord Su!"

Aunt Yin covered her face and wept softly. She looked at Renbao again, her throat bobbing several times.

Finally, she spoke hesitantly, "Little Celestial Master, please come with us too. I overheard the clan chief and others plotting that, in order to protect the male members, they specially invited a shaman to perform a debt-transferring ritual, transferring the gambling debts and karmic consequences to their closest sisters to pay off their debts and avert disaster."

Renbao only half understood what she was hearing, but she could tell that the older sister in the village had been treated unfairly!

The clan chief of Qingshui Village treated male members as treasures and female members as worthless.

"I'm going! Your village chief is so wicked! This little devil is going to catch him and drown him in a pig cage!" Renbao used a candied hawthorn as a sword, slashing it a few times in the air, "Hey ha!"

Pei Yuru's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Su Xuance: "Husband, don't go! I'll go with Renbao!"

Su Xuance sensed her barely contained rage, and his handsome face twitched: "Madam, calm down. Murderers must pay with their lives."

boom!

Before anyone could react, Pei Yuru had cleaved the table in the main hall in two.

Pei Yuru looked at Su Xuance: "It's because you went that I couldn't make a move. I agree to let you go, but can you turn a blind eye and wait until I beat those scumbags half to death before you show up?"

Renbao brought over a small stool and imitated Pei Yuru by chopping with his bare hands.

"Young lady!" Momoka tried to stop her.

Several adults also rushed forward.

*Crack!* The wooden stool shattered into pieces. Renbao, his chubby little legs standing on top, patted his chest with great arrogance: "Mommy, don't be afraid! Kill them all! I'll back you up! I'm the Little King of Hell, who am I afraid of!"

Su Xuance sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

What to do if you have a wife with superhuman strength and a cute but arrogant baby?

Let's cover the losses!

……

In Qingshui Village, all the men gathered at the ancestral hall, where a feast was set up at the entrance.

Yin Da Niang's son, Yin Jiao, walked from the house to the ancestral hall with a gloomy face: "Clan leader, my mother ran away with that girl Luo Xia."

Luo Xia is an orphan girl in the village, and Aunt Yin takes good care of her. The two are close.

"Chief, did they go to report to the authorities?"

Some villagers expressed their concerns.

The clan chief scoffed, his face full of disdain: "So what if we report it to the authorities? They can't interfere in our village's private affairs. When the shaman arrives, we'll drown all the village women in the pond. Then the sins will be transferred to them, and our village will surely prosper!"

"The clan chief is right!"

"Once my luck returns, I'll go to the casino and gamble a couple more times to wash away my shame!"

"Once you make money, you can marry any beautiful woman you want. Don't forget about me then!"

"Of course! We share the same fate!"

They walked arm in arm, drinking and chatting about gambling and the girls in brothels, having a great time.

Just a door away, inside the ancestral hall, were faces filled with terror and despair.

As they listened to their loved ones talk about their fate, a wave of sorrow washed over them.

They are grandfathers, fathers, uncles, and elder brothers!

For their own selfish reasons—no, for the sake of themselves, these men can disregard the lives of these innocent women.

I hate it! I hate it so much!

But their hands were tightly bound, and they were huddled in the small pig cage, unable to even turn over.

The young girl began to sob softly.

"Will we die?" she asked.

No one answered her.

A deathly silence, just like their state of mind at that moment.

"The wizard is here!"

The clan chief rose and hurried forward, smiling obsequiously, "Master Wizard, please take a seat."

The wizard had a long face, exuding an air of majesty when he wasn't smiling. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and his green robe trailed on the ground, giving him an eerie and sinister aura.

The men of Qingshui Village dared not meet his gaze and all rose to bow in greeting.

The wizard took the main seat and glanced at the large amount of fish and meat on the table.

The clan chief personally poured him wine, respectfully handing it to him with both hands.

The wizard took it, sipped it, and said, "Is everyone here now?"

Yin Jiao stepped forward, intending to say that Aunt Yin and Luo Xia had escaped.

The clan chief looked at him and gently shook his head.

He feared that if the sorcerer found out, he would stop performing witchcraft today.

The men in the village owe a total of five thousand taels of silver. If their luck doesn't change, their creditors will definitely come to the village with knives to demand repayment within three days.

Whether the village can be saved by then is another matter.

Therefore, today's ritual of converting karmic debts into livestock must succeed!

Yin Jiao took a step back and shut up.

The wizard noticed their movements and sneered, "Something's gone wrong, hasn't it?"

"Two people escaped, an old woman and an orphan girl. They can't cause any trouble, do you think, wizard?" the chieftain explained, bowing.

The wizard stretched out his hand.

The clan chief understood his meaning, gritted his teeth, and took out one hundred taels of silver, placing it in the shaman's palm.

He even took out his most treasured coffin lid.

Take a gamble!

The ancestral hall door opened, and the men in the village ignored the pleas of their sisters and carried them to the edge of the pond, where eighteen pig cages were lined up in a row.

A weight engraved with witchcraft hung at the bottom of the pig cage, symbolizing the weighing of all the gambler's debts and the transfer of those debts to the woman inside the cage.

The wizard chanted a spell, opened his eyes and looked at the men: "Cut your fingers, stain them with your blood, and throw them into the pond."

The men in the village all did as instructed, holding their breath and watching the shaman's next move.

The wizard shouted, gesturing in the air: "Enter the cage of malevolent energy!"

Everyone watched in disbelief as a black mist appeared out of thin air and entered the pig cage.

The scheme to use a substitute to wash away debts and sins has succeeded!

The shaman looked at the clan chief and nodded to him.

The clan chief understood and shouted, "Throw the pig cage down and drown it!"
