God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 196 The truth is revealed

Murong Xi and his servant stood aside, watching Jun Moyuan and Lu Tingyan interrogate the bandit leader Li Ergou with serious eyes.

Li Ergou knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I am Li Ergou from Lijia Village in Fengxi Town. Both my parents died and my life was difficult. I had no choice but to choose to become a bandit in the mountains..."

Lu Tingyan's small face was full of seriousness. She looked directly at Li Ergou with a firm and sharp gaze, and asked in a clear voice: "Li Ergou, tell me the truth, who ordered you to come here to do evil?"

Li Ergou's face was pale, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead and deep fear in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "It was... a man in black. He found me and asked me to lead the brothers in the mountains to the nearby villages to burn, kill and plunder, and we would get a generous reward. He said that if we met someone with strong martial arts skills, we would report to him and he would give us more money. I thought at the time that as long as we didn't kill anyone and just robbed some property, maybe we could find a way out for the brothers and report to the man in black."

At this point, Li Ergou's eyes flashed with determination: "But I didn't expect that I would meet such a powerful opponent like you this time. I didn't expect that the man in black would be so cruel and ruthless, threatening us to kill all of us if we didn't do as he said. Now that I think about it, I really regret it!"

Jun Moyuan frowned, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said in a deep voice: "Then do you remember the other characteristics of the man in black?"

Li Ergou replied tremblingly: "The man in black was wrapped up tightly, with only a pair of eyes showing, but his eyes were very fierce and people dared not look directly at him. Moreover, his voice was hoarse when he spoke, as if he deliberately lowered his voice, and the original tone could not be heard."

Lu Tingyan's eyes became more sharp, and she asked, "What else? Is there any special mark or smell on him?"

Li Ergou tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh, I remember that he had a faint herbal smell on his body, as if it was some herbal smell, but I don't know what it was."

Jun Moyuan and Lu Tingyan looked at each other. They both realized that the man in black might be related to a certain organization or force. But there were too few clues to determine his true identity. However, they believed that as the investigation deepened, the truth would eventually come to light.

Lu Tingyan frowned and continued to ask, "Anything else?"

Li Ergou tried hard to recall, but he finally shook his head and said with a guilty conscience: "At that time, I was only thinking about money and survival, so I didn't dare to ask more questions, and I didn't pay attention to other things."

Lu Tingyan snorted coldly and questioned sternly: "Just for these, you brought people to harm innocent people. Do you know your crime?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ergou immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I know I'm guilty, I know I'm guilty! Please spare my life, young lady!"

Lu Tingyan looked at this cowardly man in front of her and felt disgusted, but she still suppressed her discomfort and continued to ask: "Then do you know why he wants you to do this? What is his purpose?"

Li Ergou shook his head again, a bewildered expression on his face. His eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. "I don't know. He never told us his purpose. He always appeared at night, gave us orders, and then disappeared."

Lu Tingyan turned to look at Jun Moyuan, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Brother Yuan, how should we deal with him now?"

Jun Moyuan: "Li Ergou, although you have made a big mistake, if you can sincerely repent and help us find the man in black, you may still have a chance of survival."

When Li Ergou heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jun Moyuan, as if he had grabbed the last straw. "I am willing! I am willing to cooperate with you! As long as you can atone for my sins, I will do anything!" There was a bit of urgency and determination in his voice.
