Chapter 206 Mu Wanjun's Conditions
Everyone stared at Xue Bufan in shock, unable to fathom what kind of scheme he was plotting.
Mu Wanjun and her two sons, Mu Hongqi and Mu Wanjun, did not expect that the yamen runner would let the matter pass so easily.
Not to mention outsiders.
Even Xue Bufan himself was surprised after he finished speaking; he didn't know what he had said.
But the words have already been spoken, and all face has been lost...
He had no choice but to give up and do whatever he wanted.
"I wonder what conditions the princess has? Why don't you tell me?"
Xue Bufan's tone became even more gentle and polite, as if he wasn't the one who had just been furious, or the one who had been slapped in the face.
“You have all seen what happened tonight. If we encounter a similar situation again in the future, we exiled prisoners will certainly face great danger.”
"Since His Majesty has not sentenced us to death, it means that we prisoners are not guilty of crimes that warrant death."
“I think these ropes are completely unnecessary for us. We could also remove one of the handcuffs or leg irons, which would allow us to travel faster. What do you think?”
Although Mu Wanjun felt that this person might be mentally ill, the situation was temporarily advantageous to her, so she immediately put forward her conditions.
Xue Bufan never expected this woman to make such a request.
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
It's really quite interesting.
The handcuffs, leg irons, and ropes all refer to the above, meaning that the intention was to deliberately torture these exiled prisoners.
Normally, exiled prisoners didn't wear this many.
This is one of the reasons why Mu Wanjun brought it up.
Xue Bufan did not answer immediately. He thought for a few moments before speaking.
"Yes, I can also make the decision to remove all the shackles from the Mu and Xie families, but the other prisoners must wear leg irons."
Xue Bufan agreed so readily because he had his own reasons.
His Majesty would love nothing less than to kill the Mu and Xie families.
If he removes all the restraints from these two families, wouldn't that give them a chance to escape?
He was hoping that the two families would escape, so that His Majesty would have a reason to send a large army to kill them.
This also saves us from spending so much time completing this task.
A fleeting glint of calculation flashed in Xue Bufan's eyes.
Mu Wanjun didn't expect him to agree, and to agree so readily.
He wondered if there was some kind of conspiracy involved.
But since she couldn't figure it out for the time being, she stopped thinking about it, as long as she could achieve her goal.
After reaching an agreement, both parties immediately began to take their respective actions.
Mu Wanjun immediately treated the yamen runner's injuries.
Xue Bufan immediately ordered the yamen runners to remove all the shackles from the Xie family and the eldest branch of the Mu family.
All the other prisoners' ropes and handcuffs were also removed.
The exiled prisoners never expected that Princess Anrong would go to such lengths for them, and they were extremely grateful to her.
But some people were resentful.
Duan Ruyan was furious when she saw that the eldest son's family had regained their freedom, but the third and second sons' families were still not freed from their chains.
"Wanjun, why did these people only untie your eldest son's shackles and not us? We're still members of the Mu family!"
"That's right, niece, you should talk to these constables, they'll definitely listen to you!"
Mu Hongcheng had long since stopped wanting to wear it, and immediately chimed in, agreeing with his wife's instructions to Mu Wanjun.
Mu Hongyu, from the second wife's family, still harbored resentment over the beating he received from the first wife's family, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to break free of his constraints and didn't want to show his face.
"You bitch, aren't you on good terms with the first wife? Hurry up and tell them to get me and my son separated!" Mu Hongyu kicked Jiao Miaoling hard.
After being kicked to the ground, Jiao Miaoling gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She immediately lowered her head and looked at the ground, hiding the resentment in her eyes.
"I don't have that ability..." she refused timidly.
"You slut, you slut, what good are you! You can't even give birth to a son, you only give birth to a money-losing brat. You can't even do this little thing right! Why don't you just die!"
Enraged, Mu Hongyu beat Jiao Miaoling violently.
Jiao Miaoling was thin and weak. She tried to resist, but she was no match for the strong and powerful Mu Hongyu.
Upon seeing this, her three daughters immediately stepped forward to protect their mother.
"You're all worthless bastards, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Mu Hongyu also beat his own daughter, showing no mercy whatsoever.
He wanted to see if the eldest son's wife was just being overly kind and meddling in his own family's affairs.
Would he plead with the constables to remove the shackles from him, his son, and his concubine for the sake of those three wretches?
The Mu family of five watched Mu Hongyu's actions and saw through all his thoughts.
"Father, teach him a lesson, let him taste what it's like to get beaten up." Mu Wanjun's tone was icy.
Her father was this scumbag's older brother, and no one could criticize him for his actions when he taught him a lesson.
Mu Hongqi had long been fed up with this, but he didn't want to get involved.
His daughter had already given her word, so he immediately complied.
Before long, Mu Hongyu was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up and was begging for mercy on the ground.
Mu Wanjun felt relieved and looked at the yamen runners watching the show, and said.
“Officer, this family of three prisoners looks like troublemakers. Why don’t you put the ropes and handcuffs back on them to prevent them from causing you any trouble?”
The constable didn't move, but looked at his superior, Xue Bufan.
Xue Bufan gave the princess face in this matter. He was an expert at torturing prisoners and instructed his subordinates to do so.
Mu Hongyu never expected the final outcome to be like this.
He glared venomously at Jiao Miaoling and her three daughters, as well as the eldest son's family, muttering curses under his breath.
Mu Hongyu's favorite concubine, Cai Qianqiao, was so angry she almost vomited blood. She and his son hadn't done anything wrong, so why were they being put back in handcuffs and ropes?
This bitch is absolutely outrageous!
When the third wife saw that the second wife had not only failed to achieve her goal but had instead been put back in shackles, she was so frightened that she dared not speak.
Mu Wanjun ignored the second wife's impotent rage and continued to treat the injured constable.
While treating Liu Gangzi, they recognized him as the yamen runner who had humiliated Su's father.
He had already died from an overdose of anesthesia, and had been dead for some time; no one could save him now.
"This person is beyond saving, he's already dead, let's get rid of him quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and continued treating the next person without looking back.
The constables never expected that Liu Gangzi would die like this.
He wasn't injured at all during the fight with the man in black.
He suddenly died!
All the yamen runners sighed in dismay.
Even though they had a deep relationship, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and all they could do was to handle his funeral arrangements simply.
On the Su family's side.
The bodyguards had already cleared all the bodies of the men in black out of the camp and looted a considerable amount of silver and weapons from them, which they then handed over to Su Yunhai.
There were eighteen men in black who attacked the Su family.
The total amount of silver and banknotes looted was 387 taels, along with 18 weapons.
The Su and Shen families had become accustomed to fighting and killing on their journey to escape famine. Although they were still terrified of this situation, they had adapted quite well.
Seeing that the bodyguards only looted the assassins' silver and weapons, he felt they were very unprofessional.
They personally ransacked the place again.
They stripped all the assassins naked, leaving them only in their underwear.
The bodyguards and the silver-armored guards: "..."
This host is really something else, they're really ripping people off as they go...
