After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Although Xu Xing did not get a definite answer from Jiang Hao, her answer made them sure that there was really something wrong with Jiang Huaiqing.

Wherever there is a problem, there will definitely be clues.

The bandits mentioned earlier were involved in the theft of treasury silver and their whereabouts were unknown. Even though the bandits had confessed and signed, they still had to be handed over to the higher-level government for further interrogation.

Although the theft of treasury silver was a major case, the trial and verdict were made overnight and not much news spread.

Because of this, not many people paid attention to it, so Jing Lei sent people disguised as the bandits' accomplices to intercept them halfway and snatched the bandits from the officials.

In the ruined temple, the bandits had already been beaten so badly that their faces were bruised and swollen that their facial features could not be seen clearly. They were covered in wounds. Looking at the group of black-clothed men holding long swords, they felt not only fear but also confusion.

Just because of "greed", they seem to have offended someone they shouldn't have.

"These people are all from Caiyun Prefecture. They were wanted for murder and robbery, and then they fled to Yuzhou Prefecture. They were relatively honest in Yuzhou Prefecture and didn't kill anyone. The officials didn't know their background, so they turned a blind eye."

Zhuifeng told Xu Xing who was standing beside him the information he had found out.

These are the people who deserve to die.

"Come on, can anyone tell me why you went to the government office to steal silver from the treasury this time?"

Xu Xing looked down at the person on the ground and asked.

"You can kill or chop us up as you please, but we are going to die anyway...ah!"

Xu Xing raised his knife and swung it down as fast as lightning. Before he could finish his words, he fell heavily to the ground with his eyes wide open - he died with his eyes open.

"If you don't want to live, I'll grant your wish."

Xu Xing's voice was cold and without any warmth. He looked at the remaining three people without much patience: "What about you?"

"Death will bring relief."

One of them had his hands and feet broken. Living was indeed a torture, so he closed his eyes and prepared to die.

However, Xu Xing was not what he wanted.

"Break his arms and legs."

Xu Xing gave an order, and Jing Lei, without saying a word, broke the bandit's healed limbs in a few strokes. The man fainted from the pain without even calling for help.

"Wake up."

I don’t know where they got the salt and pepper from, but they mixed it with water and poured it on the fainted person.

"what……"

A burning pain instantly spread throughout my body, from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

I can't die if I want to, and I can't live if I want to.

The other two witnessed what happened and were trembling with fear.

This group of men in black are more terrifying than those who tortured and extracted confessions in the government office.

"Speak, let's speak."

"We didn't steal the silver from the treasury. We just took other people's silver and set fire to the county government office. The other party wanted to burn Miss Jiang to death..."

"We have told you everything. Please let us go. We really did not steal any silver from the treasury."

Xu Xing turned around and walked out, and Zhui Feng followed immediately.

Jing Lei waved at a few people, and immediately someone swung a sword at the three bandits.

Not long after, the men in black left, leaving four scarred bodies in the ruined temple.

……

"Kidnapped by his accomplices?"

Jiang Huaiqing was shocked and couldn't believe it.

There was no accomplice among the bandits. In the beginning, he made up the accomplice himself.

So, who could have robbed the bandits?

Jiang Huaiqing felt a chill on his back and sat back in his chair in shock.

"My lord! My lord!"

An official rushed in from outside and Da Han shouted, "People have reported that four bodies were found in a dilapidated temple thirty miles outside the city."

Jiang Huaiqing was stunned when he heard this.
