Chapter 1772: Chapter 1772: My Name Is Tian Erqiang

Zhang Zhong listened, his eyes turned blood red with anger. He personally dragged Ding Dayong and his subordinate government officials out of the house and made them kneel in the courtyard: "Kill them."

He used the military’s cruel torture on Ding Dayong and his men; these cowardly dogs couldn’t withstand the punishment and have confessed. With their signed confession in hand, there’s no need to keep them alive.

Ding Dayong and his men were still hoping that County Captain Tang would come to rescue them. Hearing this, they opened their swollen eyes in shock and weakly pleaded: "Please, don’t kill us... we were wrong... we will change..."

With a bang, Qi An kicked Ding Dayong, turning him over from facing the ground to facing upward: "Pah, you dog, you won’t get the chance to change. Not only will you die today, but I’ll also make you a eunuch!"

Qi An hated them extremely, he kicked them dozens of times in the pants, turning them into mush.

Ding Dayong and his men screamed endlessly, in unbearable pain, yet what terrified them more than the pain was the prospect of becoming eunuchs before dying.

Zhang Zhong continued: "Our master said that after eunuchs die, their treasures are taken to accompany them in burial, only buried complete can they be complete men in the next life. Haha, congratulations, you’ll be eunuchs in your next life!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Dayong spat out a mouthful of blood and died with his eyes wide open, dying with regret... if he had known touching a kidnapped little girl would lead to this, he definitely would have stayed away!

He had once resisted, but the little girl was too beautiful; in nearly forty years, he hadn’t seen anyone so attractive.

Ding Dayong recalled the girl’s curse: she said some things in this world were beyond his enjoyment, and he’d die for it, very tragically.

It had come true!

His subordinate officials, seeing him dead, were incredibly frightened. Despite being kicked to pulp, they still didn’t want to die, and begged: "Spare us... we dare not... it was Ding Dayong who first touched..."

Qi An couldn’t listen to them, drew his knife, and with a slash, chopped their heads off.

Wen Rong somehow found a knife and went to chop Ding Dayong’s head, but he lacked the strength to cut it off.

You An knew he hated Ding Dayong immensely, not wanting him to have a complete corpse. He took the knife, chopped Ding Dayong’s head, and instructed Qi An: "Throw them to the mass grave to feed the dogs."

Such dogs don’t deserve proper burial.

"Yes!" Qi An was very pleased, found a cart, pulled Ding Dayong’s and others’ bodies to the nearest mass grave, and threw them there. He even herded a group of wild dogs to the site, watched them gnaw Ding Dayong’s and others’ bodies almost completely, before finally pulling away the cart.

Back when the Water Bandit Village was exterminated, he was too young to personally avenge his mother by killing the river bandits. Today’s act has brought a bit of comfort to his mother underground.

...

Gu Jinli only heard about this in the evening, and after learning about Wen Qiong’s ordeal, she vomited her entire dinner out.

She wasn’t sick nor pregnant, just purely nauseated to physiological vomiting!

That Wen Qiong was only thirteen, having just started menstruating not long ago. How could those beasts bring themselves to such deeds?!

Qin San Lang, seeing her vomit heavily, hurriedly fetched water for her to rinse her mouth, soothingly said: "Xiao Yu, don’t be angry. Those beasts are dead already, they died miserably, and their bodies were eaten by wild dogs."

Originally, he didn’t want her to know about these disgusting matters and intended for the servants to keep it from her. But the child who comforted Wen Rong was too special, and he had to tell her the ins and outs of the matter.

"That Lin Changyou isn’t dead yet!" Gu Jinli clung to Qin San Lang’s arm fiercely and declared: "Kill him, we cannot let such beasts live!"

Seeing someone else’s daughter looking beautiful, drugging and abducting her for sale is already vile, dare he tarnish her body too, a beast worse than any dog deserves a brutal death!

Qin San Lang assured: "Xiao Yu, rest assured, San’an is watching at Lin Family Slope, as soon as Lin Changyou returns, his life will be taken."

Gu Jinli asked: "Lin Changyou went to bring reinforcements, what if he comes with County Captain Tang or Qiu Troop Commander?"

Qin San Lang laughed: "Great Chu Criminal Law, filthy offenders to be killed. Even if Lin Changyou comes with Qiu Troop Commander, we can drag Lin Changyou out and chop him on the spot."

Due to the heavy emphasis on the purity of women, throughout the dynasties, including Great Chu, filthy offenders are simply killed.

Only if the woman’s family chooses not to pursue, can the offender live, but with substantial silver compensation.

Therefore, killing Ding Dayong and others was not only justified, but also for the public good, even Qiu Troop Commander would have no objections.

Gu Jinli felt somewhat better after hearing this.

Seizing the moment, Qin San Lang said: "There’s also a piece of good news."

He informed Gu Jinli about the child who comforted Wen Rong, named Tian Erqiang.

"That child is five years old, though young, he’s eloquent and capable. When You An recorded their circumstances, he said his name was Tian Erqiang and his maternal grandfather’s family was in Gu Family Village."

You An and his men knew of Erqiang; upon hearing his words, they dared not delay, promptly reported to me, and I came to find you."

But now, he regretted it, wishing he’d waited until tomorrow morning, so she wouldn’t have had to vomit from disgust tonight.

Qin San Lang embraced her, saying: "Xiao Yu, we may have found Aunt Tian’s Family’s Sister Dahua’s son, we should be happy."

The child said his name was Tian Erqiang, his mother was Tian Dahua, and his grandfather’s family was in Gu Family Village.

Gu Jinli was indeed briefly happy, but only briefly. She recalled Wen Qiong’s ordeal, and dry retched, nearly vomiting again.

"Xiao Yu..." Qin San Lang worriedly: "Why are you nauseated again? I’ll find Qing Pu to check and prescribe some anti-nausea medicine for you."

"No need, medicine won’t help this nausea." Gu Jinli shook her head, stopped him, saying: "My nausea is from thinking about the child’s origin... who is his father? Imagining his father may also be a beast makes me uncontrollably want to vomit!"

That night, Sister Dahua and Sister Erhua were captured by evil men.

There’s no need to say, one can guess what they encountered.

The child is five years old...

Ugh!

Gu Jinli, thinking he might be the spawn of those evil men, once again retched.

Qin San Lang felt deeply for her distress, embraced her, and patted her back to ease her: "Xiao Yu, don’t be angry; it may not be those men... Sister Dahua survived, perhaps fortune is on her side."

But even he didn’t genuinely believe his own words.

Gu Jinli shook her head, stopped speaking, leaned in his arms to rest for a moment, and once she regained her composure, said: "Where is that child? Bring him here, I want to see him."

Qin San Lang was stunned, advised: "It’s late now, don’t meet him, let’s talk tomorrow."
