The reason why Immortal County was called this was because the climate of the mountains was suitable for ginseng and other medicinal herbs to grow. Every year, many supreme-grade ginsengs would be discovered. They looked like fat babies, so it was named Immortal County.

Ginseng was expensive and extremely profitable.

The local people relied on the mountain to pick herbs every year. They earned quite a bit and their lives were quite comfortable.

It was not until last year that the county magistrate of Immortal County, Zhang Jiayan, married a concubine. The brother of the concubine, Xu Baisheng, used his power to specially send people to intercept the villagers who had entered the mountain to pick herbs and forced them to hand over all the herbs they had picked.

If someone was unwilling, he would snatch it. If he didn't like a person who wanted to resist, he would break the other party's tendons.

The commoners went to the county office to complain about Xu Baisheng, but they were locked up and tortured.

As time passed, no one dared to complain to the government office.

The villagers could only pray that they would not encounter Xu Baisheng and the others before entering the mountain.

More people were afraid that their tendons would be broken, so they could only be forced to change their livelihood.

There were also many people from Immortal County who took the initiative to migrate to the southern frontier.

Wen Renhua knew the growing environment of medicinal herbs very well. It was rare for a person to pick a hundred-year-old ginseng, so Xu Baisheng naturally would not let it go.

After hearing the dark guard's report, Bai Wutong narrowed her eyes and said with a faint smile, "It's so interesting to pick people's tendons. How can one hand be enough?"

Qingfeng understood and immediately brought people to the gathering place where Xu Baisheng was.

More than half of the huge villa was filled with Xu Baisheng's hired thugs.

The dark guards covered their faces and descended from the sky with swords in their hands.

Sword light flashed, and the thugs who swarmed forward screamed one after another.

When the maidservants saw the blood spurting, they shouted in fear, "Help! Murder!"

When Xu Baisheng heard the loud commotion outside, he hurriedly pushed the woman away and got up to put on his pants.

"Swoosh." A sharp sword flashed and split open the door.

Xu Baisheng looked up in shock. In the next second, the sword light was already in front of him.

"Ah—I!!!"

After an earth-shattering scream, Xu Baisheng's hands were bleeding as he shouted in fear, "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

Perhaps his begging had worked, the culprit who had entered the house to commit murder took mercy on him.

In the blink of an eye, they had really disappeared.

Xu Baisheng had survived a calamity. His wrist, which was bleeding profusely, was in unbearable pain. He shouted at the woman on the bed, whose face had turned pale from fright, 'What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find the best doctor for me! If I'm crippled, I'll chop off your hands!"
