ch 182 - The Experiment Was Successful; Wandered Into Thieves' Den (15)
“Yes, Mistress, Qing Zhu will keep this in mind!”
“Of course, when you come out in the future and run into these kind of situations, you must fully understand the situations first. Don’t kill the innocent inadvertently nor let a bad person go because of a wrong decision!”
“Yes, Mistress!”
“You are still young. You will experience more and more in the future!”
During the master and servant conversation, the noises from the courtyard died down and they could hear footsteps approaching them.
Bighead Chi appeared before them shortly followed by a few more men. They were still tied by jade vines; it was obvious that Yuteng hadn’t paid them any attention yet.
“Mistress!” said Bighead Chi respectfully.
The six men behind him walked up, knelt in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao but none made a sound.
Cheng Xiao Xiao casted a glance at them and raised her brows before looking at Bighead Chi. She trusted that he had something to tell her.
“Mistress, none of them became bandits willingly. Dayong and Zhang Ping were ordinary hunters. But they were very good with their arrows so under part temptation and part threats by Flower Monk, they finally joined the group of bandits.
“Lin Tang, Wang Li, Dao, and San were teachers in their town. But they had inadvertently hurt the bad official’s son so there were warrants out on them. When they were trying to run away they ran into Flower Monk who were robbing the peasants. They only joined the bandits partly because they were threatened and partly because they didn’t have a lot of other options. Mistress, I guarantee you that they have good men. Every time Flower Monk ordered us to kill everyone, they have always tried everything they could to save the people!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was surprised. She thought perhaps Bighead Chi saved a few of the ones that he was closer to; she didn’t expect the ones saved were the ones with good hearts.
