Chapter 94

Bai Su Niang

Jiang Chao calmly looked directly into the woman's dark, cold eyes and slowly nodded, saying:

"I would like to hear the details."

The female ghost, fearing the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Jiang Chao and the others, dared not conceal anything and truthfully recounted everything she had experienced.

It turned out that the woman's name was Bai Suniang, and she was the daughter of a wealthy family in Baijiazhuang, a neighboring county.

Six months ago, her family suffered a tragedy when they were robbed of everything by a band of bandits. Her parents and brothers were all killed, and her pregnant sister-in-law was also raped and killed. Bai Su Niang managed to escape the calamity by hiding in the cellar under the cover of her maid.

Afterwards, in order to seek revenge, Bai Su Niang prepared to go to the capital to file a complaint, because she recognized one of the leaders of the gang of thieves as Shen Wansan, a wealthy merchant from a neighboring county who had done business with her Bai family village.

Shen Wansan had long coveted the Bai family's winery business, but he dared not make any rash moves because of the Bai family's large and powerful family.

A group of highly skilled martial artists suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hit it off with Shen Wansan. They decided to slaughter the entire Bai Family Village and take its place, which is why the Bai family suffered.

Bai Su Niang didn't go into the details, but Jiang Chao could guess the general idea.

It was nothing more than a matter of profit-driven motives, each getting what they wanted. The group of strongmen wanted wealth, while the unscrupulous merchant Shen Wansan wanted the winery business. The two hit it off immediately, and that's how the victim, Baijiazhuang, came to be.

Such things are commonplace in the world, but recently, the world has changed, and many people's lurking evil intentions have been stimulated and have finally erupted.

Of course, the inaction of the local government is probably also one of the reasons.

Otherwise, how could such a gang of thieves brazenly commit evil deeds?

This is the consequence of the dynasty's fortunes becoming unbalanced; the innocent people suffer first, followed by the powerful figures in high positions.

Chivalrous figures in the martial arts world are not everywhere; more often, they are ordinary people struggling and helpless in the face of insurmountable forces.

When Bai Su Niang passed by this place called Chenjia Village, it was already late, so she, like them, decided to stay the night.

Who would have thought that her beauty was so striking that even after disguising herself as a man, the discerning Master Chen still noticed something amiss.

This wealthy man, surnamed Chen, was over fifty years old and had a lecherous nature. He had eight concubines in his household, all of whom were either forced or bought from respectable families.

Bai Su Niang, burdened with a deep-seated blood feud, was naturally unwilling to submit to another man. After her identity was exposed, she resolutely refused and vowed to never submit. In the process of struggling and resisting, she even kicked and damaged Master Chen's manhood.

Enraged and humiliated, and further angered by the fact that his manhood had been damaged, Master Chen conceived the idea of ​​murder.

Although Bai Su Niang's family was destroyed, Bai Family Village was well-known in the neighboring county. Rumors circulated that Bai Family Village also had connections in the capital and had a complicated background.

Although Master Chen lived in Chenjia Village, he had done business in a neighboring county dozens of miles away and had heard of Baijiazhuang to some extent.

Fearing that his coercion would be exposed, Master Chen decided to go all the way and decided to kill.

They planned to send Bai Su Niang out of Chenjia Village first, and then secretly send someone to silence her.

Bai Su Niang finally escaped from Chenjia Village, but on the way back she was kidnapped again by villagers dressed as bandits.

The one who abducted her was none other than the son of the village chief of Chenjia Village.

The village chief's son had long wanted to curry favor with Master Chen, hoping to use Master Chen's connections in the county town to leave Chenjia Village and seek a good job there.

When Master Chen saw that the woman he had sent away had returned, he felt that this woman was truly destined for him, a gift from heaven. Although he had injured his manhood, he was already over fifty years old, and his sexual desires were not strong.

More than anything, it was a psychological need, so he kept Bai Su Niang there again, imprisoning her and trying to coax her into submission through gentle persuasion.

Bai Su Niang remained defiant, even threatening suicide to force him to comply.

Left with no other choice, Master Chen had to send his already married son, Chen Shi'an, to handle the matter.

Chen Shi'an was handsome and talented, and a well-educated scholar with refined manners.

It is said that as long as Bai Su Niang agrees to marry her father on the surface, she will not only receive the support of the Chen family after her father dies in a few years, but may even inherit part of the Chen family's property.

By then, neither revenge nor anything else will matter.

Seeing that the son of Master Chen spoke clearly and thoughtfully, and that he also showed her great respect, Bai Su Niang agreed.

Anyway, that old bastard Chen was injured in the genitals when she resisted, so he couldn't have sex and wouldn't live much longer anyway, so the marriage was arranged.

Who would have thought that on the day of the wedding, Master Chen would suddenly die, turning a joyous occasion into a funeral, and his son, Chen Shi'an, would also reveal his true colors.

This scholar conspired with one of Master Chen's concubines to kill Master Chen, intending to seize the family property for himself.

They even took her, the concubine who was about to marry into the family.

Seeing that she could not escape, Bai Su Niang was utterly desperate. She pretended to compromise with the other party and hanged herself before her wedding night.

His resentment lingered after death, and he transformed into a vengeful ghost. Driven by his obsession, he first killed Chen Shi'an, and then murdered Chen's concubine.

This resentment grew stronger and stronger, transforming into a raging inferno that gradually spread, turning all the living people in Chengjia Village into living dead.

Bai Su Niang gradually regained all her memories from her previous life, and even in a daze, she possessed power far exceeding that of her previous life.

Having said all that, Jiang Chao now fully understood the situation.

Bai Su Niang had a pitiful past. Perhaps it was out of pity from heaven that she was transformed into a vengeful ghost after death, possessing terrifying power far exceeding that of her previous life, allowing her to take revenge.

Of course, more likely it's because the opponent's death point just happened to coincide with a special period of great change in the world.

Only then can they transform into vengeful ghosts, relying on the power of their spirits to influence a region.

"They deserved to die!"

After listening to Bai Su Niang's story, the female knight-errant Chu was the first to speak out in solidarity with the enemy.

As a woman, she naturally had more sympathy for other women. After listening to Bai Su Niang's story, she realized that there was probably no good person in Chenjia Village.

They were all villains, otherwise they wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Bai Su Niang's plight.

They even aided and abetted the evildoers, taking advantage of her misfortune in order to curry favor with the Chen family.

Jiang Chao nodded and said, "I deeply sympathize with Miss Bai's experience, but killing everyone in Chenjia Village seems inappropriate."

When Jiang Chao entered the village, he saw children, and even a woman holding an infant.

The village has at least several hundred residents, including many innocent and naive children who have never committed evil and do not know what evil is.

The wicked should be punished, but the child is innocent.

If Heaven has eyes, Bai Su Niang will surely be punished for what she did.

Even if they don't come looking for trouble with her, other righteous people will come looking for her, following some kind of heavenly rule.

Upon hearing Jiang Chao's words, Bai Su Niang's resentment intensified, causing the entire courtyard to become incredibly somber, terrifying, and gloomy.
