"We just returned from H city." Xun mumbled.

"You just came from there?" Senja asked, "Then, you know the Zhao family?"

"Of course!" Sheng nodded.

"The head of the current Zhao family is a local official."

"Hmm… but, the rumor around them isn't good at all."

"They are very cruel to their servants."

"The family even kills them just for fun."

"They cut those poor servants' hair, even turn them bald."

"They even cut their fingers."
