Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#142 - Ungrateful

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin couldn't help but suspect that the strong monk had done it.

Immediately, Liang Jin spoke:

"Describe the appearance of that evil monk."

The madam, Zhao Mama, immediately described him.

Liang Jin, upon hearing it, confirmed that it was indeed this strong monk.

Immediately, Liang Jin said calmly:

"Don't provoke that person, just treat him well and provide for him."

Having said that, Liang Jin asked his servants to see the guest out.

But the madam, Zhao Mama, stood her ground, crying with tears and snot streaming down her face:

"Oh dear, Master Meng, you don't know how much silver we lost today to serve that evil monk."

"Those broken tables and chairs, those injured girls and guests, and those delicacies, fine wines, and good liquor, which one doesn't cost money?"

"Master Meng, since that evil monk is your friend and is acting in your name, you must compensate for this expense."

"Our shop is small and can't afford big debts; otherwise, if we go bankrupt, all the girls will have to starve."

"Today, before leaving, the girls specifically instructed me, their madam, to bring back some compensation, otherwise, everyone really can't serve that evil monk anymore."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin's eyes turned cold.

This madam was asking him for money?

If the strong monk was charging it to Liang Jin's account, then Liang Jin could give the money.

But this madam's posture indicated that she wanted to take the silver away today.

This was truly showing no gratitude at all!

Liang Jin had killed one brothel owner after another, but he had never touched this madam, fearing that her death would scatter the brothel, removing the bait to lure bad people.

Now that the bad people within a hundred miles of Dingfeng City didn't dare to target the brothel, the bait had lost its effectiveness, and this madam had naturally lost her value.

It could be said that the madam should have been grateful to Liang Jin for sparing her life.

If this madam had shown respect by offering silver every month, flattering him on weekdays, and being obedient, then she would have been considered sensible.

But she was a tightwad, keeping all the brothel's income for herself, even regarding the brothel as her own property.

Now, she was even impolitely demanding silver, which immediately aroused disgust in Liang Jin's heart.

"Zhao Mama, is it?"

"You filthy thing, like a pig or a dog, how dare you speak to me like this?"

Liang Jin said coldly.

The madam, Zhao Mama, couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, she had never imagined that Liang Jin would suddenly turn hostile.

Liang Jin continued in a deep voice:

"I heard that you are involved in forcing women into prostitution and trafficking women in the brothel."

"Especially you, with your ruthless heart and cruel methods, have taken pleasure in torturing the girls under your care for years, causing injury, madness, and even death."

"Tell me yourself, what crime should you be charged with?"

People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

If someone was blinded by a little profit, then Liang Jin would not be polite.

Otherwise, he had been so busy killing those extremely vicious people these days that some small fries thought he was really good-tempered.

Immediately, Liang Jin recorded the madam's name in the 【Thousand Mile Tracking】 and locked her down.

Hearing this, the madam, Zhao Mama, finally felt something was wrong.

She hurriedly put on a flattering smile and said:

"Master Meng, misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding."

"I mean, I'll send someone to send… five hundred taels, no, no! Send a thousand taels of silver to apologize right away!"

Liang Jin laughed loudly upon hearing this.

He was really amused by this madam.

The Overlord has his dignity, how could he be provoked by ants?

Liang Jin's laughter ceased, and he said gloomily:

"Corpse Dog… no, let Fushi do it."

Upon hearing this, Fushi immediately drew her long knife from her waist.

Seeing the gleaming blade, the madam, Zhao Mama, finally felt fear.

She was horrified and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy:

"Master Meng, Master Meng, spare me—"

She couldn't finish her words.

"Swish!"

The blade flashed past.

Fushi sheathed her knife.

And a bloodstain appeared on the madam, Zhao Mama's neck.

Her eyes widened, and she slowly fell to the ground.

Dying with unresolved grievances.

Upon seeing this, Corpse Dog said excitedly:

"Boss, you knew that it would be demeaning for a big man like me to kill a woman, so you let Fushi, a woman, do it, right?"

"Boss, you're so kind, thinking about my reputation in the pugilistic world."

Liang Jin shook his head:

"The reason I didn't let you do it is because you kill people too bloody and cruel."

"This is home! If you make it all bloody, don't you know it's troublesome to clean up?"

"Look at Fushi, she only uses one knife to kill, there's only one bloodstain, and not even a few drops of blood fell on the ground."

Upon hearing this, Corpse Dog could only shrink his neck and dared not speak anymore.

Afterward, Liang Jin called a few servants in to carry away the madam, Zhao Mama's body, and wipe the blood off the ground.

Liang Jin turned his gaze to Liu Yuan:

"Miss Liu, I want you to take charge of the brothel in Dingfeng City."

"I wonder what you think?"

This seemed to touch Liu Yuan's sensitive nerve.

Her pretty face changed, and she said angrily:

"Just because I used to be a prostitute, you think I should be with the brothel, right?"

"I'm telling you, I won't be a madam."

Liang Jin shook his head:

"That's not the case."

"I never thought of letting you be the madam, just letting you be the owner of the brothel, you can choose the madam yourself."

"I hope you can take over the brothel, firstly because I need you."

"The brothel is a good place to obtain information, I need a lot of intelligence, so I want to build an intelligence network. The Seven Souls are too young, so I think you are the most suitable candidate."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan's anger eased slightly.

She knew that Liang Jin now had an assassin organization, and assassin organizations were not easy to run.

First, assassin organizations needed a backer in the imperial court; if they didn't have a backer, they would inevitably be suppressed by the imperial court. But now, the Western Desert is a lawless land, and assassin organizations here don't need a backer, they just need to be strong enough.

Second, assassin organizations also need an intelligence network; if there is insufficient intelligence, it will lead to mission failure and assassin losses.

Building an intelligence network starting from the brothel is a good idea.

Liu Yuan continued to ask:

"Are there any other reasons?"

Liang Jin continued to say:

"Secondly, the girls in the brothel need you."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan looked puzzled.

Liang Jin explained:

"I heard that many people in the brothels of Dingfeng City were trafficked here, or even forced here; they became prostitutes against their will."

"I don't want such a situation to occur in my territory."

"And I also want to set those girls who were forced into prostitution free and give them money to return to their hometowns."

"I also think that only you can do this well. You have had a tragic experience and can better understand the situation of those girls and know how to help them."

Liang Jin had not thought about completely disbanding the brothel.

But since ancient times, this kind of thing has been impossible to ban.

Many intelligent people have thought of various methods but failed to do so, and Liang Jin also knew that he didn't have that wisdom.

So he could only rescue those who were forced into prostitution.

As for those who voluntarily became prostitutes due to laziness, vanity, greed for money, or other reasons, Liang Jin planned to make good use of them.

Liu Yuan was greatly moved upon hearing this:

"Are you really willing to do this?"

"You will lose a lot of silver and cause the brothel business to plummet."

"If you really don't care about these things, then I can consider it."

Liu Yuan was accustomed to seeing all kinds of tragic things in the Western Desert.

Especially the misery of those prostitutes, Liu Yuan had seen it clearly and sympathized with their plight.

So at the straw shop, she was willing to stand up and persuade Liang Jin not to kill all the prostitutes.

Although she knew that Liang Jin was killing bad people, she believed that Liang Jin must have some unknown purpose in doing so, which must satisfy Liang Jin's interests.

But now, Liang Jin's decision was obviously benefiting others at his own expense.

Liu Yuan could not find any benefit for Liang Jin in this matter.

Liang Jin nodded:

"Absolutely true."

Liu Yuan also replied readily:

"Then I will definitely assist you with all my strength."

It was really disgraceful for a woman to be in charge of a brothel, and Liu Yuan herself was very repulsed by it.

Although she had been a prostitute, it was not of her own free will.

But since Liang Jin could benefit others at his own expense for those poor women, then Liu Yuan could do the same.

She also hoped that there would be fewer tragedies in the brothel in this desert.

Especially Liang Jin's decision made Liu Yuan's attitude towards Liang Jin change significantly again after he used precious medicinal materials to save Gao Hongzhe last time.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Liang Jin, and she felt a little more affection.

Liang Jin immediately said:

"Okay, Miss Liu, then let's go now and directly take over the brothel."

"Seven Souls, you come along too."

"In the future, I will need you to help Miss Liu remove all obstacles."
