"Yan girl, this thod is good, we’ll do as you say," Yang Bao smiled, eyes bright with happiness. Clearly, he shared Mo Yan’s thinking and didn’t want to carry things too far.
Not to ntion, both Village Gao and Lower King’s Village were made up of a single surna—a lineage passed down from a common ancestor. They were much more united than villages of mixed surnas. Now, the ties between Liu Yang Village and these two villages were growing ever closer. To send those two to jail might risk antagonizing both villages.
When Mo Yan arrived at the ancestral hall with Mao Tuan, the other Chicken Thieves had already been taken to another room. The original room was left with only the Theft Chicken Boss, who was lying on the cold ground with his mouth gagged.
Upon hearing footsteps, Theft Chicken Boss craned his neck to look and, seeing Mo Yan, a hateful glint shot from his eyes. The next instant, his gaze t with that of piercing tiger-like eyes, and he felt a chill in his heart, fearfully trying to scoot backward.
Mo Yan gently patted Mao Tuan on the head and said to it, "Take out the stinky sock from his mouth, I have questions to ask him."
At these words, a look of disgust flashed in Mao Tuan’s eyes. Raising its leg, it approached Theft Chicken Boss. With a swift flick of its sharp claws, it hooked out the stinky sock from his mouth and quickly tossed it aside, under Theft Chicken Boss’s terrified gaze.
Mo Yan looked at the frightened Theft Chicken Boss with satisfaction at the intimidation Mao Tuan brought. She got straight to the point, "What is your real na? Where are you from?"
On hearing this, Theft Chicken Boss shifted his gaze from Mao Tuan to Mo Yan and said disdainfully, "Why the hell should I tell you, you damn woman? But if you’re willing to let go, I don’t mind telling you."
Mo Yan’s expression remained unchanged, completely unfazed by the disrespectful words of Theft Chicken Boss, and said to the angry Mao Tuan, who looked like it wanted to bite him to death right there, "He’s so impolite and not even willing to cooperate with you. Play with him a bit, teach him so manners."
"Roar—" Mao Tuan was delighted, letting out a pleased growl towards its owner. It had been a long ti since it had ’played’ with a person. It had not expected an opportunity today, and the thought was rather nostalgic!
"No—don’t, you damn woman, keep it away, keep it away—" The Theft Chicken Boss scread like a pig being slaughtered, sending shivers down the spines of the Chicken Thieves in the other room.
"Hehe, enjoy your play, I’ll wait outside for you," Mo Yan smiled encouragingly at Mao Tuan and, amid the cries of terror from Theft Chicken Boss, left the room, closing the door behind her to spare any villagers passing by from being psychologically scarred by the sight inside.
"Don’t co closer, stay away, ah—"
"It hurts—it hurts—help, soone help—"
"Spare , Big Tiger! I won’t dare again, I’ll never dare again! Spare , Big Tiger, spare —"
"..."
For the next half an hour, the wails and screams from the room never ceased. In the other room, the Chicken Thieves, who had been undecided about marking the confession, lost any remaining will to resist. They obediently pressed their fingerprints on the confession and eagerly agreed to compensate for their thievery in Liu Yang Village co spring plowing season, working off their cri.
Only when Theft Chicken Boss lacked even the strength to scream did Mo Yan finally open the door and instructed Mao Tuan to stop the one-sided cruelty.
Mao Tuan, still seeming to crave more, delivered a final blow to the badly injured Theft Chicken Boss, who twitched but made no sound.
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful! Mao Tuan, you went too far this ti." Mo Yan remarked with not a shred of pity, looking at the bloodied Theft Chicken Boss who barely resembled a human, and then poured a bottle of dicine powder over him.
If he passed out from too much blood loss, or worse, didn’t survive, it would be quite troubleso.
...
A mont later, the door opened again, and Mo Yan erged with Mao Tuan, addressing Yang Bao who was waiting outside, "This man needs to be guarded closely. After the Lantern Festival when the Governnt Office reopens, take him there."
Upon hearing this, Yang Bao couldn’t help but ask, "What is this man’s identity?" Could he really be a Jiangyang Robber who kills without batting an eye?
Mo Yan felt there was no need to hide the identity of Theft Chicken Boss and replied, "His real na is Niu Hu. He was sentenced to death for theft and murder but later escaped. He wandered to Jing City and, taking advantage of this snow disaster, planned to gather more people to continue his evil deeds. It just so happened that we caught him this ti."
