Guan Xiaorou had been very angry before, but she had always maintained restraint.
But when I heard that the bandits were going to cut off the ears of the female workers to receive the reward, I couldn't restrain myself anymore and immediately exploded.
"Go and tell Liu Tie, just tell me what Guan Xiaorou said and kill them all!"
Guan Xiaorou's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Kill them all! Behead them!"
"Beheading?!"
The escort was shocked again.
In the feudal era, the whole body was valued, and generally only the most heinous criminals would be beheaded.
Even Tieniu, a talented killer, executed the bandit prisoners at Shuang Hump, only to hang them.
The escort really couldn't figure out why Guan Xiaorou, who usually looked soft and frail, would issue such a harsh order.
Aju saw that the escort was still hesitating and secretly gave him a wink.
The escort understood this and quickly followed A Ju to the side.
Aju quietly told the escort what happened.
Only then did the escort understand why Guan Xiaorou went berserk.
"Damn it, they actually want to cut off the girl's ears. She deserves to be beheaded!"
The escort was also very angry, got on his horse and left.
Not long after, Liu Tie came in person again.
"Why, if the head of the house is not here, my words will be of no use, right?"
Guan Xiaorou raised her head and glared at Liu Tie, and asked: "I said beheading, if the master comes back to blame, I, Guan Xiaorou, will carry it, I don't want you, Liu Tie, to suffer!"
"Ma'am, that's not what I meant!"
Liu Tie quickly explained: "Didn't Director Tang suspect that someone was behind the scenes? I interrogated the bandit leader, and he said that this incident was all planned by a man named Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Liu?" Guan Xiaorou asked immediately: "Some time ago, Xiaobei was robbed by water bandits in Jiangnan. I heard that it was also Mr. Liu. Is he the same person?"
"I don't know, probably not."
Liu Tie said: "I've also heard about Mr. Liu. He chased him all the way to the East China Sea, but he didn't come back. He can't come back so soon."
"That's true," Guan Xiaorou nodded: "Where is this Mr. Liu?"
"The leader of the bandits said that he was nearby before, but he didn't know when he escaped. I have already arranged for people to search the mountain."
Liu Tie said: "But this kind of person is slipperier than a loach. The fog in the mountains is heavy now, and we don't have enough manpower, so we may not be able to catch it."
"Mr. Feng has already escaped, and Mr. Liu must be caught no matter what!"
Guan Xiaorou said: "Find someone to go back and inform Xiaoyu and ask her to mobilize the people to surround me within a five-mile radius of Yangquan Ridge. I must not let this person escape!"
When Liu Tie heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "I'll do it now!"
According to the instructions of the bandit leader, Mr. Liu only brought one bodyguard.
The fog is so thick now and it's completely dark. Locals may get lost in the mountains. Where can they, two outsiders, run to?
Soon, the two bodyguards rode back to Xihewan.
"Madam, do you really want to stop thinking about beheading?"
Liu Tie found that Guan Xiaorou had calmed down and asked tentatively.
"They didn't leave the whole bodies for the sisters, why should I leave the whole bodies for them!"
Guan Xiaorou shouted in a cold voice: "Don't think about it, just do as I say!"
"yes!"
Seeing that Guan Xiaorou had made up her mind, Liu Tie stopped trying to persuade her.
Not long after, heart-wrenching shouts and the sounds of fighting were heard in the distance.
Almost all the bandits who know the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau know that they do not kill prisoners.
This is one of the reasons why Mr. Chen was able to hire bandits so quickly to cause trouble in Jinchuan.
Anyway, if you are caught, you won't die. At most, you will be locked up in Heishui ditch digging coal. You will have enough to eat every day, so what are you afraid of?
This group of bandits also came to Jinchuan with this idea in mind.
Although Tie Niu made an exception at Shuang Hump a few days ago, Tie Niu has a reputation for killing talented people in the world, so it is not surprising that he would kill prisoners.
The bandits were relieved when they found out that Liu Tie did not kill them after he caught up with them.
It seems that the only killer in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is Tieniu, and the others still do not kill prisoners.
But who knew that Liu Tie left for a while and when he came back, he ordered the cavalry to kill them!
And beheading!
The bandits immediately panicked. Some begged for mercy, some resisted, and some cursed.
But they have been tied up, and no matter what they do, they can't change the outcome.
The thick smell of blood soon filled the mountains.
The dark night, the thick fog, the heart-rending screams, the corpses everywhere, the permeating smell of blood...
The atmosphere on Sheepfold Ridge became depressing and terrifying.
Many female workers were a little scared, but when they saw Guan Xiaorou standing not far away, they felt at ease again.
Under Guan Xiaorou's arrangement, military doctors and female workers began to treat the wounded and collect the bodies of the female workers who died in the battle.
On the mountain road, there are female workers holding torches everywhere.
"Sisters, please be careful and find every ear!"
Guan Xiaorou reminded loudly.
After working hard until dawn, Guan Xiaorou and Zuo Feifei took the female workers back to Iron Can Mountain!
In the middle of the morning of the next day, a hunter passed by Sheepfold Ridge and almost died of fright.
I saw decapitated corpses everywhere on the mountain road of Yangquanling!
One by one, more than a mile away!
The mountain road for more than a mile was completely stained red with blood!
The common people did not know what happened during the battle. They only knew that the female workers of Tiegongshan stopped the bandits who wanted to attack Xihewan.
After this battle, the reputation of the female workers in Iron Can Mountain spread.
Because most of the female workers who participated in this battle were concubines who had contracted a marriage contract with Jin Feng, the female workers in Tiegunshan were also called the Jin family's women's army in Tiegunshan by the people.
This battle is the first battle of the Jin Family’s Detachment of Women in Iron Can Mountain!
Therefore, Yangquan Ridge was changed to Jinjia Niangzi Mountain by the people.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After Guan Xiaorou brought the female workers back to Iron Can Mountain, she did not rest. Instead, she asked Zuo Feifei to get needle and thread to sew the ears of the girl who died in the battle.
"Madam, I heard from Ah Ju that you haven't slept for several days. Go get some sleep and I'll sew!"
Zuo Feifei looked at Guan Xiaorou's increasingly pale face and persuaded her.
"No, I'm not sleepy!"
Guan Xiaorou took the needle and thread and said casually: "Feifei, don't call me madam anymore, just call me sister."
When Zuo Feifei heard this, her heartbeat jumped two beats faster.
She is not a fool, not to mention that Guan Xiaorou said everything so clearly. Even if she is a fool, she understands what Guan Xiaorou means.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Seeing that Zuo Feifei didn't answer, Guan Xiaorou said, "If you think I'm young, you can call me sister."
"That's not what I meant, it's just that sister...sister said it too suddenly, and I haven't come back to my senses..."
Zuo Feifei quickly waved her hand and explained.
When Guan Xiaorou saw that Zuo Feifei had changed her mind, she understood what she meant.
Then he looked down at the dead female worker on the ground and sighed: "Feifei, since you called me sister, that means you are willing to enter the Jin family, then I will not treat you as an outsider and help me with something."
