Chapter 394 Send them on their way sooner!
The gamblers immediately fell silent.
Even the people in the other cells dared not shout anymore.
Tian Dayou, who guarded the dungeon, strode over aggressively, carrying a whip.
As they approached, they saw Lu Yangyang standing in the middle of the cell, and then looked at the gamblers lying haphazardly on the floor. Their expressions changed slightly. Weren't they supposed to be drugged and sent over? What's going on?
He had accepted the money from them, and he absolutely couldn't let that get out, otherwise he would break the rules set by the gang leader and be blamed, a situation he couldn't bear.
He pretended to be oblivious and shouted, lashing the door with his whip: "What are you yelling about! Can't you shut up in the middle of the night?! If I hear you making a racket again, I'll give you a good beating!"
"Severe torture?" Lu Yangyang sneered, "May I ask what kind of place this is, and what your official position is, daring to utter the words 'severe torture'! These gambling addicts in here owe money and refuse to pay. You should report them to the government and let the government handle it, not let you deal with them privately! This is illegal imprisonment! The people inside are all registered law-abiding citizens. Do you know what crime it is to arbitrarily imprison and beat law-abiding citizens?"
"Furthermore, by setting up illegal prisons, are you planning a rebellion, or is it your Salt Gang that's planning a rebellion?"
Tian Dayou stared at Lu Yangyang in disbelief, as if she were an idiot, then burst into laughter: "You brat, what do you think this place is? You're trying to talk to me about the government! You can talk to me about it when you're about to see the officials! Let me tell you, here, the Salt Gang is the law, and our Salt Gang leader is the emperor. He can make you live or die, and you won't live past dawn!"
Tian Dayou originally didn't want to bother with this little brat. He was just doing a job for money, and he wanted someone to teach this girl a lesson. Who would have thought that this girl would be so ungrateful, daring to talk to him about the government? How ridiculous! What does the government have to do with their salt gang!
Although the gang leader set up a bunch of messy rules, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. The Salt Gang has a large number of members and great power. In this Jiangnan Prefecture, who dares to touch them?
It’s ridiculous!
He waved his hand dismissively: "Since you won't listen to reason, fine, these few can't beat you, but there are plenty of people here who can make you suffer. Just bear with it!"
After saying that, he glanced at the nearby cells, walked to one of them filled with tall, burly men, took out the key, and opened the door. "Brothers, this little brat is yours. Teach her some manners and let her know what kind of place this is and who's in charge!"
Several men emerged from the cell, each with a more ruthless expression than the last. Their hands and feet were bound by iron chains, which they cracked as they snapped their knuckles open, their eyes gleaming with menace.
"Old Tian, now that the brothers have dealt with this girl for you, you'd better have your Fifth Elder put in a good word for us with the gang leader so we can leave this hellhole as soon as possible!"
Tian Dayou immediately replied, "Of course, of course."
Then he leaned close to one of them and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, the man laughed heartily, "Good, very good!"
After saying that, he glanced at his brothers and nodded. They immediately understood and walked towards Lu Yangyang's cell.
As they approached, Lu Yangyang glanced at them and immediately noticed their differences.
These are all people who have seen blood; compared to Luo Jing, the leader of the mountain stronghold, they seem more like ruthless bandits.
The fact that such a group of people would appear here clearly indicates that they have broken the rules of the Salt Gang or offended the leader of the Salt Gang. However, the fact that the Salt Gang did not kill them shows that these people are not easy to deal with.
Moreover, reasoning with these desperate criminals is futile; the only thing that can sway them is self-interest.
Unfortunately, Lu Yangyang had nothing to offer them; if there was anything, it was to send them on their way sooner.
Lu Yangyang gripped the whip tightly and lashed it out before the group could approach. The whip struck the door, snapping the chain. Lu Yangyang kicked the door open and walked out.
Luckily, she brought this whip with her when she went out today.
This black iron whip was given to her by His Highness. Because it was a bit heavy, and she didn't particularly like using whips as a weapon that wasn't very nimble, she didn't usually carry it with her. Fortunately, she was going on a long trip today, so she brought it with her! When she met a good weaponsmith, she would melt down this whip and have it forged into a cleaver, which would be perfect for her to take down enemies one by one!
Lu Yangyang went straight to Tian Dayou and slapped him!
The bandits' eyes lit up when they saw Lu Yangyang's actions. "Interesting!"
One of the bandits reached out and pulled Tian Dayou away, dodging Lu Yangyang's attack. Tian Dayou escaped a close call and didn't dare to linger for a moment. He turned and ran, saying, "I'll leave this girl to the brothers. I'll definitely pass on what I promised you!"
Another whip lashed out, and Tian Dayou narrowly dodged it, but was still hit by the gust of wind and fell with a thud. In his panic, he pulled the key from his waist and threw it to one of the bandits.
At this moment, Lu Yangyang had already been surrounded by several bandits.
One of the bandits had already unchained his hands and feet and used the chains as a weapon, swinging them at Lu Yangyang. Lu Yangyang turned and dodged the chains. At the same time, another bandit's iron fist came crashing down on her. Lu Yangyang bent down to dodge and moved a few steps to break free of the encirclement!
He swung the whip and struck the nearest man on the neck, wrapping it tightly around his neck before giving it a sharp tug.
The man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but before he could close them, it was too late; he had completely stopped breathing.
The bandits never expected that such a thin little girl would have such strength and skill. They immediately became alert and used iron chains as weapons to attack Lu Yangyang again!
Lu Yangyang used to attack without any method, relying entirely on her alertness and instinctive reactions honed since childhood. However, since she began practicing the footwork taught to her by Sheng Junyi, she went from initial setbacks to gradually figuring out the patterns. She was now able to predict the direction of her opponent's attacks to a certain extent based on their movements, thus dodging them! So, when attacks came raining down from all sides, she didn't panic. Instead, she seized the opportunity, easily flipped over and jumped onto one of the attackers' shoulders, grabbed their heads with both hands, and took down another one!
There were seven people in total, and two have already been dealt with!
At this moment, the chains on the hands and feet of the remaining five people had all been removed!
They surrounded Lu Yangyang again, and Tian Dayou, who had just escaped, also called over a dozen thugs who rushed over! They surrounded Lu Yangyang in several layers!
Just then, two men dragged a beaten and unconscious man into the dungeon. They expressionlessly opened the door of one of the cells and threw the unconscious man inside. The firelight shone on the man's face, and Lu Yangyang's pupils contracted slightly. It was Luo Jing!
