"If we absolutely have to, we'll charge in with our weapons. Kill any gods we meet, and slay any Buddhas we encounter. These are just unarmed villagers, famished for so long that they wouldn't even have the strength to fight back. They wouldn't stand a chance against us!"

Chen the butcher glanced at Chen Goudan, "You make sense. Let's wait another half hour. In half an hour if..."

...halfway through his words, a red glow suddenly shot up into the dark night sky above the village ahead, like fireworks.

Yes, this flare was also bought from that Western Regions merchant at a high price by them.

To buy incense and signal flares, butcher Chen emptied his pockets.

Having invested so much, and bringing over twenty desperados here, it's all riding on this one job.

This is a big one, it's done. From now on, I'll be living the good life, eating delicious food and drinking fine wine. If I lose...

Only success, no failure!

“Dad, look! Second brother sent a signal, he wants us to go over!” Chen Hu pointed in the direction of the fireworks, excitedly said.

Chen the butcher narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of excitement flashing in them.

He drew out the pickaxe, one normally used for quarrying in a stone quarry and strapped to his hip, and addressed the group behind him: "Brothers, the good days of big meals and big drinks are coming for us!"

"This village has rice, grain, silver, young ladies, daughters-in-law, and old women,"

"Brothers, come with me, let's get rich!"

Just as Mr. Chen, the butcher, arrived at Yang Ruoqing's courtyard gate with a large group of people who were strangely silent, he saw that the gate was open and a figure stood by the door looking out.

When Wang Fu saw a group of people led by Chen the Butcher approaching, a smile immediately spread across his face. He hurriedly nodded and bowed to them.

"Old Chen, you're finally here! Come quickly, I was waiting for you." Wangfu said.

This is the English translation of what you provided:

Chen the butcher arrived before Wang Fu and, looking at the dark courtyard in front of him, asked, “Is everything ready?”

"Greetings, good sir! You've raised a fine son indeed, Old Chen. Nephew Chen Xiong is truly exceptional—he got everything done in mere moments! Now, let us all go inside for tea and count the rice and silver from the rear courtyard!"

“My goodness, so much silver! I've never seen this much in all my years. You're truly a wealthy person!”

As soon as everyone heard these words, they became excited, like they had been injected with chicken blood.

Chen Hu and Chen Goudan, the brothers, were so eager to find Moquan that they wished to rush in right now and loot and plunder.

At Wang Fu's enthusiastic greeting, Chen the butcher and his party swaggered into the courtyard.

After the last person walked into the courtyard, Wang Fu thoughtfully closed the courtyard gate and locked it.

When the butcher Chen and his men rounded the screen wall ahead, just as they were about to enter the main hall, a sudden gust of wind swept over their heads.

When the butcher, Chen, looked up, he saw a large net covering them.

"Beware of fraud!"

He bellowed and drew the sharp hoe from his waist, swinging it with a mighty force. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Sizzle!”

This is the end of a paragraph.

The fishing net was instantly split open, a gap as wide as an arm.

When Chen Hu saw this, he and the others were astonished and immediately followed suit, drawing out their own weapons and trying to hack at the fishing net to make a break for it.

At this moment, the ground beneath everyone suddenly gave way. Before they could react, they all fell into a pit over three meters deep.

There was waist-deep water in the pit, and this water definitely had something added to it. As soon as everyone jumped down, the air was filled with a foul stench. Chen Goudan immediately vomited, vomiting until he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"Damn it, let us out!"

Chen the butcher was slapping at the foul water, raising his head to stare up at the pit mouth that was over three meters high. He roared like a cornered beast.

Chen Hu beside him was also roaring angrily, "Let me out!"

Suddenly, a great fire erupted above the pit, illuminating the night as brightly as day.

Then, Yang Huazhong, Wang Hongtao, Lu Tiejiang, Chang Geng, Daniu, were all familiar faces appearing above the pit.

Although ten years had passed, Chen the Butcher still recognized everyone at a glance, and everyone present also recognized him at a glance.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Chen the Butcher, how could you do such a thing? To slaughter a whole village? This is an act of utter depravity!"

The former magistrate Wang Hongtao looked at Chen the butcher in the pit and said with deep sorrow.

“Who said I was here to slaughter the village? I’m just here for a visit!” Chen the Butcher loudly defended himself.

"Cousin, at this point, there's no need to defend yourself. Wǎngfú has confessed everything."

The voice was too familiar. When Chen, the butcher, looked up, wasn't this person just his own cousin?

"Wang Fu knows nothing! You all listen to his nonsense!" Chen the butcher glared defiantly and continued to bellow.

His cousin shook his head. "Even if Wang Fu is lying, wouldn't your son Chen Xiong be lying too?"

>

"What have you guys been up to these past few years, what are you hoping to do upon your return, and what kind of people did you bring with you?"

“Your son, Chen Xiong, knows this trick like the back of his hand. Don’t try to play dumb anymore.” Chen Tuchu's cousin said.

“Uncle, my second brother isn't very bright, don't listen to his nonsense…” Chen Goudan urged anxiously, and then plastered a smile on his face towards Chen Tuchu's older brother.

Chen Dutou's elder brother looked at Chen Goudan and, without saying a word, spat on Chen Goudan's face.

"You little bastard, you dare to think about hitting your cousin? Why don't you just go die?"

Chen the butcher's cousin, speaking, picked up the torch in his hand and went to smash Chen Goudan's head.

Chen Goudan was smashed and cried out in pain, his eyebrows and hair were on fire. He was so scared that he quickly ducked down and hid in the sewage.

In the puddle, they were all in a mess. Above the puddle, Yang Huazhong and the others were also busy dragging Chen Dutou's cousin aside.

"Qing'er said to just give them a good lesson and not go too far, we shouldn't take any lives," Yang Huazhong said.

“These matters have already been reported to the authorities. When officials arrive, they will take them away and deal with them accordingly.”

After much persuasion from the crowd, Chen Butcher's elder brother was finally persuaded.

While people took turns guarding the water pit, two people were tied to two pillars inside a house in the backyard.

One is Wang Fu, and the other is Chen Xiong.

Before them, Yang Ruqing held a whip, dipped it in a basin of saltwater, and lashed out at Chen Xiong.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

At this moment, Chen Xiong was truly beaten to tears and snot. His pleas for mercy had left his voice hoarse.

He strained his neck to glance at Wangfu, whose face was also covered in wounds from the beatings, next to him on the pillar. He couldn't figure out how Yang Ruqing could have disguised herself as Wangfu.

How could his appearance, figure, and even the different voices of men and women have deceived him so completely?

That's really something!

You deserve this!

>

"Chen Xiong, don't you want to ask me why I hit you so hard?" Yang Ruqing asked, whipping her whip.

Chen Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring fiercely at Yang Ruqing: "The winner takes all, I have nothing to ask."

Yang Ruqing sneered, "I was going to tell you anyway,"

“I’ll beat you, without any reason. Before the soldiers arrive, I’ll come and hit you every other hour.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

“By the way, there’s also Chen Hu and Chen Goudan, you three brothers dared to come back and massacre the village, I'll make you taste the consequences!”

“With me, Yang Ruqing here in Changping Village for a day, you'll never dream of setting foot here again!” top: 24step on: 89
