Chapter 150 More Slaves Added
Guo Pang laughed heartily and threw the tinderbox hard!
The next instant, the flames hit the ground, and screams erupted.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty sheep vanished!
Zhao Baifu was stunned, then grabbed Guo Pang and ran, shouting, "It's a ghost! It's a ghost! The sheep have all disappeared! Let's run!"
"Looks like I'm definitely going to die today. I just don't know if I'll be burned to death or eaten by a ghost!"
Guo Pang was so frightened that his heart trembled, and his legs moved like lightning.
Hearing the screams behind them, the two ran a long way before realizing that the fire hadn't spread to them. When they looked back, they found that the fire wasn't burning behind them at all!
The villagers weren't so lucky. Somehow, a ring of huge rocks appeared around them, completely blocking their path! Even the fire spread much faster than expected, and there was a faint smell of kerosene!
Flames filled the sky, reaping the lives of the greedy.
The little lamb's bleating filled Jiang Mianmian with happiness.
She stepped on the gas and parked the car next to the two tall men. "Get in!"
The pinkish-purple SUV suddenly and harmoniously entered the scene, and Zhao Baifu, stunned, pulled Guo Pang into the car.
Even after she was settled, the image from before still lingered in her mind: the blazing sunlight streaming down, adding a touch of brilliance to the girl's delicate face; her back straight, sitting firmly inside the strange thing, looking undeniably... domineering!
Yes, Zhao Baifu nodded silently. He actually sensed an aura of dominance from the young girl!
My brain just stopped working. When they told me to get on the bus, I just scrambled up in a flash!
Guo Pang was also dumbfounded, "Heroine Boss?"
"Jiang Mianmian, what about you?"
Jiang Mianmian quickly drove away from Pingfu Village and parked in a flat, quiet place.
Having escaped death, Zhao Baifu was both crying and laughing. He was a talkative person by nature, and he went on and on about how the two of them were so angry that they went to the Zuo family's house to set it on fire, how they escaped with their flock of sheep, and how they confronted the villagers today.
"Yes, I saw them forcing you to hand over your sheep."
Jiang Mianmian even deduced 90% of the truth from their expressions and lip movements, which is why she ruthlessly took advantage of the fire to release many boulders.
I directly gained more than ten merit points of 188 each!
Zhao Baifu sighed, "It's a pity that those sheep might have been eaten by ghosts. This is too bizarre."
"Being alive is better than anything else."
Guo Pang was more open-minded than him. "And I'm really happy that those people are dead! Mianmian, thank you! It's a pity that I really have nothing left now, and I don't know how to repay you."
Do you two have somewhere to go?
This softened their stance. The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "Our benefactor is willing to take us in?"
"Well, how should I put it?"
Jiang Mianmian felt it was a bit unfair to take their sheep and then try to sign a slave contract with them, but she had also saved their lives, hadn't she? So, she had to put up a fight.
After convincing herself, she said, "Are you willing to come with me? Let's make it clear first, if you come with me, you'll sign a contract of servitude."
If they're willing, they can sign a level-two slave contract and be assigned to raise sheep for him; if they're unwilling, he'll give them a sum of supplies.
Before she could think it through, the two of them nodded repeatedly. Zhao Baifu pretended to cry, "We're willing! We wanted to follow you last time, but you didn't want us. We're so sad, boohoo."
Guo Pang became much more serious, "My life was saved by the boss, so of course I'm willing to sign a contract of servitude and go through fire and water for the boss in the future!"
"Alright, from now on you'll raise sheep for me!"
After the two signed the contract, Jiang Mianmian led them directly into Peach Blossom Spring.
Seeing the more than thirty lively sheep, the two realized that the 'ghost' they had been talking about was the boss!
Zhao Baifu stared in disbelief. "Those stones, and the fire that never manages to touch our backsides, could they also be the boss's doing?"
"Yes, I know magic."
Jiang Mianmian was talking nonsense with a straight face. She had sprinkled sand between the two, so the fire definitely couldn't burn through.
She sprinkled a tiny bit of kerosene between those boulders.
The two men were filled with admiration.
"From now on, you will be in Team Three, which is a Level Two slave contract. If you don't understand anything else, you can ask the embroiderer. She is the captain of Team Two."
Jiang Mianmian called Xin Xiuniang over, "This is the newly joined Team Three, which is also Level Two. You can get to know each other. They are in charge of raising sheep."
The two teams are now acquainted.
The group of pioneers were incredibly envious; the newcomers were able to live in cabins, and they wanted that too!
As a result, the land reclamation speed increased even more, and Jiang Mianmian was very satisfied. "Isn't this all rolled up?"
She assigned the task of feeding the sheep to the two of them, added some things to the cabin, and then took a stroll around the paradise before leaving.
In just one or two days, Peach Blossom Spring has already bound three slave squads.
Their automatically generated dwelling was separated from the originally empty village and mountains by a river. Since they were just slaves, they could not cross the river, so Jiang Mianmian did not have to worry about them causing trouble in the village.
The three teams' quarters were not together, but separated by a distance. Once the four teams were bound together, they could build a fence between them so that Xin Xiuniang and the others would feel more secure living there. They also needed to build a large house so that Jiu Niang and the others could move in directly!
After making some plans in her mind, Jiang Mianmian couldn't wait to rush to Hong'an County.
When Magistrate Qiao saw her, he almost cried. "Why don't we just execute Qu Bantou and the others? I really can't afford to support them anymore. This damned weather is getting hotter and hotter, and nothing can grow in the fields! All the villages down below are coming to me for food. I've calculated and calculated, and the grain in the granary is only enough for two or three months. According to you, there will be extremely cold weather later. This... this is simply not enough!"
"Have all these people been interrogated? Magistrate Qiao, could you please show me the charges against them?"
All of this had been prepared long ago, and even the sentencing guidelines had been written down. All that was needed was the approval from the prefectural government. Without that approval, Magistrate Qiao dared not take action.
Seeing that Jiang Mianmian wanted it, they quickly brought all the things up.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill, it's that he's afraid! If Miss Mianmian is willing to give a definite answer, then the prefecture won't blame him, right?
Jiang Mianmian read them all.
Among them, Qu Bantou, Gou Xingwang, and Feng Qian, along with about twenty others, all had committed murder. Magistrate Qiao sentenced them to immediate execution. The other ninety-odd people were sentenced differently, with punishments ranging from twenty or thirty lashes and caning to imprisonment and exile.
Execution immediately is not an option; that would be too lenient on them.
