Regrettably, even if he wanted to bite his tongue, he couldn’t manage it, because his mouth wasn’t under his own control, and each time he opened it, out came the answers An Jiuyue and the others wanted to hear.
Looking at the two faces before him, his expression was one of utter defeat, knowing full well that the Luoyang-Shao family was truly finished.
Indeed, after Qian Jiyun had obtained those secrets from the Luoyang-Shao family, he took the head of the family to the Luoyang-Shao residence, where the patriarch then witnessed a massacre that, to him, was utterly inhuman.
He ran out of breath and fainted; had it not been for An Jiuyue administering a Heart-Saving Pill just in time, he probably would have been dead by now.
However, the tragic scene that was unbearable for the head of the Luoyang-Shao family was, for the common people of the Luoyang Residence, a cause for celebration.
As Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue escorted the patriarch of the Luoyang-Shao family towards Ming Gu County, the commoners of the Luoyang Residence came to witness the desolation of the Luoyang-Shao family, leaving the place with rounds of applause.
In their eyes, every member of the Luoyang-Shao family, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to children as young as three or five, were all perpetrators of evil deeds.
Take, for example, the youngest son of the Luoyang-Shao family—barely five years old and already bold enough to snatch up cute little girls in the streets, claiming he would take them to raise as future daughters-in-law.
Yet, after a girl was snatched into the Luoyang-Shao family, within a few days she would be thrown out, and those ejected were always corpses, never once breathing.
With such a household meeting its end, who wouldn’t clap their hands in approval?
Not a single commoner was willing to collect the bodies of the Luoyang-Shao family; in the end, it was the Government Office that was informed of the situation and sent people to collect the corpses.
The Prefectural Magistrate didn’t really want to deal with the affairs of the Luoyang-Shao family; after all, the capital was in too much chaos, and it wasn’t good for him to expose himself too much. The ties between the Luoyang-Shao family and the royal family were not trivial.
But leaving corpses out in the open wasn’t an option either, for over time they would start to stink.
Moreover, no one knew when those above would hear of the Luoyang-Shao family’s fate and send people to investigate, which is why the Prefectural Magistrate still ordered people to take the members of the Luoyang-Shao family to Righteous Manor.
As for the stewards, servants, and the like, those who were claimed by someone were taken home for burial, and those unclaimed were all hauled up to the mountains. For each corpse, a hole was dug, and in they went.
The matters of the Luoyang Residence, naturally, were of no concern to Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue; after traveling by triceratops throughout the night, they quickly arrived at Ming Gu County.
They found an inn that was not too large, where Qian Jiyun decided to book the entire place.
A silver certificate was handed to the innkeeper, who was delighted beyond measure, showering the two with flattering words.
“Esteemed guests, this is the best room in our inn. Please, come in,” he said, welcoming Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue to the inn’s finest room, ushering them inside with the utmost respect.
As for the head of the Luoyang-Shao family, looking like a marinated egg and covered in blood, you could tell he was no good just by glancing at him; the innkeeper automatically ignored him.
“You two please rest a while. I’ll instruct the worker in the inn to prepare hot water and send it up for you, esteemed guests,” he said, then turned and left.
Qian Jiyun brought An Jiuyue into the room and flung the Luoyang-Shao patriarch into a corner, binding him with Original Soul energy, rendering him completely immobile.
In fact, ever since witnessing the destruction of the Luoyang-Shao family, the patriarch’s mental state had been quite poor.
And because they arrived at Ming Gu County so swiftly, he was even more alarmed. He was not inclined to let the last stronghold of the Luoyang-Shao family fall into the hands of Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue.
