Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Moreover, issues like this seemed unnecessary for the trade association to manage. The Twelve Linked Huts would handle such events, ensuring normal trade routes for the association.

The security issues at transfer points were sometimes uncontrollable, but these river pirates didn’t intimidate them. So why did the trade association need to bother with these bandits? These people shouldn’t even warrant a glance. They should just be thrown into the river.

”These don’t seem like ordinary river pirates.”

Qian Wenshi said to the bloodied prisoner:

”I’ve killed quite a few river pirates before. Those looked more like pirates. Their clothes were tattered, and they wielded rusty weapons, with bodies varying in height and weight. They clearly had a feel of ruthless folks birthed from poor surroundings.”

”But these people? Though they seem a bit disheveled, there’s an aura of calmness about them.”

”Alright, brothers, take off all the hoods for them.”

Under Qian Wenshi’s indication, the sailors began their task, cursing the river pirates as they removed the hoods, revealing seven bald heads. Being shaved bald was a clear mark of villains in this feudal world.

When bandits were caught, they were immediately shaved. So when encountering a bald person on the road, civilians often first assume they’re a scoundrel.

”Where are they from?”

Wei Zhe covered his nose with his hand, his eyes bearing some distaste. These people smelled like rotting fish for days. The bandits’ eyes were slightly dazed, focusing on the person in front.

Wei Zhe noticed this, standing a yard away from the middle-aged man, with other guards of the Twelve Linked Huts between them.

”Where do you come from? The First Brother is asking you a question, can’t you hear?” Qian Wenshi scolded.

The man remained silent.

Qian Wenshi understood.

”Strip him bare and hang him on the Twelve Linked Huts’ mast. Let me know once he’s ready to talk.”

The young members of the Wei Family were instantly stunned, incredulously looking at Qian Wenshi. Was he really so ruthless, to hang someone on the mast? Such brutality!

Qian Wenshi was speechless. Every family seemed to have its benevolent folks. Without their Third Brother, they wouldn’t even get a taste of warm soup outside.

The middle-aged man stared menacingly at Qian Wenshi, remaining silent.

His eyes were filled with resentment, as if wishing to devour the man in front of him!

Wei Zhe said nothing, just watching as the Twelve Linked Huts handled it. Below was the swift river, and he saw the person swiftly cleaned and hung on the mast.

”You wait until tomorrow noon, I’ll bring many elderly women to see you, let’s see if you can handle it!” Qian Wenshi quipped.

Elderly women... referring to the Xufu Town Intelligence Station?

Even Wei Dalao felt a bit pained. The guy was exposed like that, might prefer death, especially when ridiculed, and being compared to a toothpick.

When Wei Zhe prepared to talk to the man, his anger erupted in an instant.

”Where’s that dog Yuchi? I’m going to make him pay!!”

”I’m going to kill Yuchi!”

Everyone: ”...”

The scene fell silent in an instant.

...Why did you all stop speaking?!

Wei Zhe snapped out of it and walked to the mast, looking up at the enraged man, ”Trust me, you really don’t want to meet him.”

The man was dumbfounded, unsure why, but he shivered suddenly.

The others grew even more silent.

Thinking:

Why seek out Yuchi Sanshao? Is it because we’re difficult to communicate with, or is Yuchi Sanshao too kind? No one really believes Old Honest Yuchi is truly honest, right?

Going after Yuchi Sanshao, aren’t you courting a brutal outcome?

”...What kind of dark force is this Yuchi?!” The man was alarmed.

Mere mention of Yuchi’s name brought cold silence instantly?! Was Yuchi really so fearsome?

I refuse to believe it!
