"He is your nephew?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, the old man suddenly leaned over to Xu Ke and knelt on the ground, crying and crying:

"I am very guilty! I am very guilty! I led this evil thief into the house, causing hundreds of thousands of creatures to be poisoned!... Today, thanks to the young master's actions, he killed evil and eliminated evil and rescued the Hezhuang from all over the country. I am the old master's family, thank you for your kindness!"

Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and asked with a gentle voice:

"Please get up, old man! Can you tell me about the details here? "

The old man looked around the room and saw that there were dying people. Under the black-faced man Zhu Qianyuan, there was already a large pool of blood. Xu Ke's blue clothes were stained with a lot of blood. He couldn't help but sighed a few more times, and then led Xu Ke to the front hall to sit, and ordered the servant to light up the lamp and send refreshments. The old man told all the reasons...

It turned out that the village was named "Zhujiazhuang", and the old man Zhu and his family lived in it. The old man Bai also had a surname Zhu, his name was Heng, and he was the housekeeper of Zhujiazhuang. Zhu Yuanwai was always kind and generous, and he was quite famous within a radius of dozens of miles. The hundreds of acres of fertile land around him were also the property of his Zhu family. This year, the famine began to cause trouble since the beginning of summer, and the drought became more and more serious. The victims of the surrounding area heard that Zhu Yuanwai had good reputation and rushed to ask for help. Zhu Yuanwai was originally willing to give alms to Zhouji, but the victims gathered more and more. Zhu Yuanwai was worried that his family would have to eat up sooner or later, and secondly, he was afraid that the disaster victims would cause trouble, so he thought about finding someone who had time to take care of his house and protect the house.

At this time, Zhu Qianyuan, a distant cousin of Zhu Heng, happened to come and surrender. He heard that Zhu Qianyuan was quite famous in the world and had great skills in his fists and palms. He once killed more than 30 bandits overnight and was nicknamed "Qianren Massacre". Zhu Heng introduced his cousin to Mr. Zhu and asked him to be a guard guard in the village.

Zhu Qianyuan was still abide by the rules at the beginning. He drove away all the victims who caused trouble, which made Mr. Zhu extremely happy. Not only did he reward him a lot of silver, but he also set up two wing rooms for him to live in, and also made a young maid to be his wife. However, the more Mr. Zhu was rewarded, the more he made Zhu Qianyuan greedy. Taking advantage of the government's busy dealing with the disaster and the disaster was everywhere around him, Zhu Qianyuan suddenly had trouble. In one night, he killed more than 30 male men from Zhujiazhuang and sold the bodies in the human market. The more than 40 female relatives left were imprisoned by him in various side rooms and offered him daily

The old man Zhu originally betrothed to his wife, but after saying a few words, he was beaten to death by him. The body was chopped into several pieces by him and put into a big pot to cook. While chewing the meat and drinking the soup, he also shouted that it was delicious, calling it "Dabai Chicken Soup". From then on, the female family in Zhujiazhuang who was a little unsatisfied with his wishes, he chopped her alive in public, threw the human flesh cut from the knife into the pot in an inch and frying, steaming and cooking. He also ate it with relish, which scared the rest of the female family to the hearts and courage. The whole village, and the maids, no one dared to disobey him at all. He also changed the Zhujiazhuang to "Slaughter Village"...

After a few months, Zhu Qianyuan recruited more than ten minions from somewhere. He didn't know who came up with the idea that the man's blood could dye cloth, and the red cloth dyed with bright red is better than blood, which was very popular in the Jiangnan area. He started a business of dyeing cloth in the village. Every day, he would lead those minions to rob the victims from all over the place, and the young and weak worked for him, and those who were old and young, were only allowed to dye cloth. Poor these victims, they encountered natural disasters,

In addition, he encountered man-made disasters and was robbed to this "slaughter house" for no reason. He was not allowed to survive or die. He was hung in the beam of the house to bleed every day. After there was no blood to be released, he was dragged to the human market and sold as livestock. There were also some unknown people who stayed in the streets. Once they entered this "slaughter house", they would never leave the house... In order to prevent someone from escaping from informing, he also brought a mute medicine from the green forest. After eating them for a long time, they all became mute...

When Xu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but feel indignant. He slapped the table with a "bang", slapped the table so cracked out, and all the cups and cups on the table were shocked to the ground. He stood up suddenly and said angrily:

"I didn't expect that under my magnificent efforts, there would be such a person who would do everything he wants, and there would be such a miserable state in my vast Heavenly Dynasty!"

Zhu Heng lamented: "Well! Young Master... Under the great disaster, people are like pigs and dogs, and their lives are like ants..."

Xu Ke asked, "This evil thief is so lawless, will you... no one report to the official?"

Zhu Heng cried and said, "The Zhujia Village is full of disaster victims within a radius of hundreds of miles. I heard that even in Xuchang City, there are many disaster victims who robbed food and caused trouble every day. The government only wants to send troops to suppress and try its best to defend the city. Who will take care of the affairs in your village? Besides, Zhu Qianyuan is known as the "Thousand People Slaughter". His kung fu is so powerful and his methods are so cruel that everyone is frightened by his power, and no one dares to go out to sue. I am... I am too..."

Xu Ke said softly: "Old man... don't blame yourself. Last night, you first turned me out of the door, and then placed me in a side room. Xu already understood this kind of intention of protecting each other. You are not able to tie a chicken, so you are not the opponent of the evil thief. It is normal for human beings to protect yourself when things happen. Now, this "Thousand People Slaughter" is full of evil deeds and has been treated by Xu. The old man can rest assured..."

Zhu Heng thought for a moment and asked again: "Young Master Xu, although the evil has been eliminated, why are there twelve minions under his 'Thousand People's Slaughter' in this village? Should you please..."

Xu Ke waved his hand and said, "God has the virtue of living a life. Since these are all minions, there is no need to kill them all. You can call them all and let them go after I teach you a lesson..."

Zhu Heng had regarded Xu Ke as a god at this time, so he naturally obeyed his words. Butler Zhu immediately ordered several servants to light up all the pissed wind lamps from Hezhuang. He also ordered people to call all the twelve minions to the front yard, and also carried the five bodies of Zhu Qianyuan's "Thousand People Slaughter" to the middle of the front yard.

These twelve minions were originally just bandits who blocked the road and robbed the enemy. They just wanted to have a meal in the disaster area. Most of the bad things they did were forced by the "Thousand People Slaughter". Now, they saw that the "Thousand People Slaughter" was already corpses on the ground, and they heard that the young Xu Shaoxia was so stunning that he knelt on the ground, shouting for his life...

Xu Ke, who was in the spirit of "the evil has been eliminated, and the remaining offenders will not ask", scolded the twelve people loudly, and said with the last sentence: "If you do illegal things again and are known to Xu, you will be like this thief!" These minions were so scared that they crawled on the ground again, kowtowing like pounding garlic. Xu Ke waved his hand and ordered them to disperse by themselves...

Zhu Heng took Xu Ke to look at each house and saw that there were people locked in each room, with more than ten or more people, all of whom were pale and thin. These people were covered with scars between their fingers and toes, which were obviously because they were constantly pierced with knives. After they were cut and bleeding by knives, they would be fed some medicines to promote blood circulation and salivation by Zhu Qianyuan, which was called "fat medicine" in the village. These people who fed mute medicine and fat medicine were cut and bleeding by knives every day, but Zhu Qianyuan was quite sensible in the gap between blood. After these people released blood, their lives could be survived. The "Thousand People Massacre" called these people who specialize in bloodletting "blood chickens". Hundreds of "blood chickens" were imprisoned in these more than thirty rooms...

Once we entered the courtyard, there were two wing rooms on both sides, but there were more than 20 young men imprisoned inside. These people were doing hard labor such as dyeing and printing in the village, and were called "rooster" by Zhu Qianyuan. They were fed the mute medicine by the "Thousand People Slaughtered" and could no longer speak.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, there were more than ten rooms closed, but all the women were closed. Zhu Heng pushed open one of the wing rooms and saw six or seven young women curled up inside. Several of them were already disheveled and their thighs were exposed. When they saw someone pushing the door in the middle of the night, they still said that the "Thousand People Massacre" was coming to destroy again. They screamed in fear, squeezed into a corner, and shook themselves...

Xu Ke sighed, closed the door and returned to the front hall with Zhu Heng. Along the way, Xu Ke asked about the situation of the women. Zhu Heng said tragically that more than forty female relatives in Zhujiazhuang were the concubines of Zhu Grandpa Zhu, daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Zhu Qianyuan locked them in the backyard and proclaimed them every day. Once someone was a little bored, he would kill and cook her. Now half of the female relatives were cut by the "Thousand People Slaughter" knife, axe saw, thrown into the cauldron, and all turned into food in his belly. The more than 60 women locked in the backyard are mostly victims of the disaster that were plundered by Zhu Qianyuan. In Zhu Qianyuan's mouth, they just called them "hens". According to this "Thousand People Slaughter" who likes to eat human flesh, if it were not for Xu Ke's rescue, these women would have turned into Zhu Qianyuan's meal early and night...

Xu Ke sighed, "This guy has been raped. He has committed all kinds of evil. Why do he still do such a criticism that he has done the devouring human flesh?!"

Zhu Heng sighed, "Young Master Xu doesn't know that now we have suffered a severe drought in the Huai River, withering plants and withering, and livestock are gone. There has been no pork and beef on the streets. As for the chicken, duck and fish, it is even hard to find. Don't talk about anything else now, even in our Xuchang Mansion, eating human meat is no longer a new thing... Otherwise, there wouldn't be that 'human market'..."

Xu Ke asked, "Old man, Xu has heard you talk about the 'human market' many times, but I don't know where this 'human market' is? Is it really openly trafficking in humans?"

Zhu Heng wanted to speak but stopped, but just shook his head and said, "The 'people' is five miles south of Xuchang City. As for what is sold in the 'people', the young master will know if he has seen it..."

...

Xu Ke talked with Zhu Heng for more than an hour and told the housekeeper to take good care of those who are called "blood chicken", "rooster", and "heen". When their condition improves, those who are willing to leave need to be sent home, and those who are willing to stay will be taken in as good life...

After finishing all these things, it was already the beginning of Mao, and Zhu Heng ordered people to send breakfast. Xu Ke asked to invite Master Yuanren over, and after using breakfast with him, he went out with the monk...

Zhu Heng, the head of Zhujiazhuang, left the door and sent Xu Ke and Yuanren half a mile away before saying goodbye to him reluctantly.

Before leaving, Xu Ke was grateful for the past and couldn't help but feel moved. Suddenly, he said to Zhu Heng and several servants beside him:

"My housekeeper, I am not hiding it. Xu is an official appointed by the court and holds the position of a hundred households in Qingyiwei. This time he was ordered to go to the south and came for disaster relief. In my opinion, this "Slaughter Village" was notorious before and can be changed to a "Fareman Village" in the future... After that, in addition to properly taking care of the patients in the village, if there are disaster victims around you, you should also open all the grains of the village and try your best to help..."

Zhu Heng hurriedly bowed and nodded repeatedly, "It turns out that it is Lord Xu. I am so disrespectful! I am so lucky to have the name given to you by Lord Xu! In the future, I will definitely follow Lord Xu's teachings, do good deeds, and save people..."

Yuanren next to him heard this, and couldn't help but droop his eyes, clasped his ten rituals and chanted:
Chapter completed!
