Governor Zhang had already gone to bed, but when his advisor came to call him and told him that Xiao Chi and the others had arrived, he couldn't sleep any more. He immediately changed his clothes and went to see Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi and the others were all in the reception room. When Governor Zhang saw Xiao Chi, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I greet you."

Xiao Chi, who was sitting in the armchair, said, "Zhang, the governor, we have captured a few people from the Blood Mist Sect!"

Governor Zhang was shocked. He looked at the three unconscious people on the ground, then at Xiao Chi, "Your Highness, are these three members of the Blood Mist Cult?"

"Yes." Xiao Chi said, "When we found them, they were robbing a woman. The woman was not very old. Plus, there have been people from the Blood Mist Cult causing trouble recently. It's very likely they are them."

Upon hearing this, Governor Zhang immediately called over two yamen runners and said, "Go get a basin of water and pour it over them to wake them up!"

One of the yamen runners immediately went to fetch a basin of water.

When the liquid was poured on one of them, the man suddenly woke up and started coughing violently.

Governor Zhang said sullenly, "How dare you rob a common woman? You are truly audacious!"

The man who woke up early was startled when he heard what Governor Zhang said, and an uneasy expression instantly appeared on his face.

He looked at his two companions beside him; they had not yet woken up.

The woman also lay unconscious.

The man lowered his head, his whole body shaking with nervousness.

Seeing that he remained silent, Governor Zhang shouted, "Tell me quickly, are you from the Blood Mist Cult?"

When the man heard the three words "Blood Mist Sect", he felt goosebumps in his heart and was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing the man's expression and trembling, Song Yao sat down next to Xiao Chi and said, "You three are all members of the Blood Mist Cult, right? Why did you kidnap so many girls? If you tell the truth, we will show mercy and let you go as if nothing happened. As for your companions, we will drag them to the vegetable market and behead them tomorrow morning. If you want to die, you don't have to say anything!"

The man's pupils shrank, and when he looked up at Song Yao, his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, "Can you really let me go?"

Song Yao's face darkened and she nodded, "Of course it's true!"

The man naturally didn't want to die because he had a wife and children at home. After hearing Song Yao's words, he was shaken.

But he was also afraid that Song Yao was cheating him.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Song Yao said, "Have you thought it through? This is your last chance. If you don't tell me, I'll drag you and your other companion to the market and kill them. As for the other person, if he's willing to tell me, I'll let him live!"

The man was stunned for a moment, he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

After glancing at Song Yao and then at Governor Zhang, the man said, "But, but who are you? Why should I trust you?"

Song Yao snorted coldly, "Who am I? I'm the Princess of Heng, and the one sitting next to me is the Prince of Heng. Tell me, do I keep my word?"

"I'll tell you!" the man said hurriedly. "The three of us are from the Blood Mist Cult. We're here to capture this young girl on the orders of the Cult Leader. That's it. Please, Princess, spare our lives!"

They had already guessed that these three people were from the Blood Mist Cult, so they were not too surprised when they heard what the man said.

Song Yao's face darkened. "Why did you capture these girls? What's your purpose?"

The man hesitated for a moment before speaking forcefully, "Actually, it wasn't the leader's intention to capture these girls. It was his wife who wanted eternal youth and immortality. That's why he sent us to capture girls from all over the Great Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Song Yao was furious. She slammed the table in anger and said, "This is simply too much. These are all living lives. For his own selfish desires, he actually killed so many girls. It's absolutely despicable!"

Song Zizhou asked, "What are the uses of these girls?"

The man lowered his head and said, "We use the blood of these girls to bathe, their skin to make war drums, and even use these girls to refine the elixir of immortality!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was furious.

Everyone was very angry!

Song Qing cursed, "This is completely devoid of conscience!"

Governor Zhang said, "How abhorrent! These are all human beings. Your leader and your wife are simply demons. To be so absurd... It's simply outrageous!"

The actions of the Blood Mist Cult leader and his wife have aroused everyone's anger!

Song Yao suppressed her anger and asked sullenly, "Do you know Huaying? She's my good sister, and she was captured by your people a while ago. If you know her, please tell me!"

"Huaying?" The man shook his head. "I don't know her."

When they arrest people, they never ask their names. They just arrest them as soon as they see them.

Xiao Chi asked, "Haven't you been to Fengzhou?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't been there."

"Yes!" Xiao Chi glanced at Governor Zhang, "Capture all three of them and send them to the market tomorrow to be beheaded as a public display!"

The man was stunned. His eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Chi and the others in disbelief. "Didn't you say you would let me go? Why did you break your promise? Don't kill me. I have a wife and children at home. Please let me go. I'm only arresting people. I didn't hurt anyone!"

Xiao Chi snorted coldly, "If you arrest people, you are aiding and abetting the evil, and you deserve to be killed!"

Song Zizhou snorted, "Why don't you think about their families when you arrest them? Only your family members are human beings?"

The man was about to cry. "There are natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere. They will give food and money, and I have no choice but to help them capture people. Please let me go. My wife, children, and my parents are still waiting for me to bring the money back. Please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do that again..."

"There's no point in talking any more!" Xiao Chi said, "Zhang, the governor, lock these three up!"

"Yes!" Governor Zhang nodded, "Come here!"

Four yamen runners came immediately.

Governor Zhang ordered, "Lock up these three people and take them to the market tomorrow morning to be beheaded in public!"

"Yes!"

Several bailiffs bowed in agreement and immediately took the man and the other two Blood Mist Cult members to the jail.

Song Yao pinched her brows. She thought she could find out something about Huaying, but unexpectedly she got no information at all.

I don’t know whether Huaying is dead or alive.

Damn it! If she had known that the Blood Mist Cult members would go to Fengzhou, she should have taken Huaying with her, so that nothing would have happened to her.

Xiao Chi said, "It's getting late. They must still be waiting at the city gate. Let's go first."

"Yes." Song Yao stood up and looked at Governor Zhang. "Sir Governor, you must behead those three men and make a public display of your will!"

Governor Zhang bowed and said, "Princess, please rest assured. I will not let them live!"

"Ah."

Song Yao nodded, called Song Zizhou and Song Qing and left.
