"My mother," Hu Asan said angrily, "Let alone a few more months to live, even if you can only live for half a month, who would care so much?"

If it hadn't been for his wife's unexpected pregnancy a few months ago, he might have disappeared now.

"I'm not your mother!" Ningxiang glared dissatisfied and said, "So many people have disappeared for no reason, and the government here doesn't care..."

Zhang Ning rubbed her head and interrupted: "Why don't you eat minced meat? This is Huangshan County, not the Imperial City. The Imperial City approach won't work here."

But there was no blame in his tone.

This can't be blamed on Ningxiang's naivety.

In fact, before he saw the tree bark outside the yamen being stripped naked, even he had no real idea of ​​the words "great famine, people cannibalism" and "massacre of the city" in the history books.

Only by truly witnessing it with your own eyes can you know what kind of hell these few words describe.

Although Ningxiang was born as a slave, the slaves in the imperial city and the servants of the powerful local families here are also in the same world.

"Yamen?" Hu Asan even sneered, "Do you think those dog officials are adults? They don't bother to care about the lives of untouchables like us."

Zhang Ning ignored Hu Asan's flattery and asked, "This situation in the Qian family has been going on for so long, but what rumors have come out?"

"There are rumors that those servants were all beasts like Qian Shikang who failed to take good care of him. They were beaten to death by Qian Shikang and then thrown to the mountains to expose their bodies in the wilderness and fed to wild dogs."

Qian Shikang, that Biyang guy, still has this kind of ability?

Zhang Ning was a little skeptical.

But before he could question it, Hu Asan said again: "But adults and villains feel that these rumors are not credible. That beast Qian Shikang should not have the guts to kill anyone."

"He has already insulted your pregnant wife, why do you still speak for him?" Ningxiang said dissatisfied.

Hu Asan said seriously: "That's why I said this. When I discovered that beast, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy. How could such a waste dare to kill someone?"

The water in Qian's house is deeper than I thought.

"Okay, I will be more careful, and I will also investigate this matter secretly." Zhang Ning said, "Go back and take care of your wife."
