After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Prison is a dark and dirty place with countless rats and lice. The unpleasant smell fills the nose. Normal people who go in there will either faint from fear or vomit.

The place Ye Xunqing had been to before was considered relatively good, at least it was cleaner.

But the Japanese were not so lucky. They were unwilling to reveal their identities or say who was behind them. They just said that they had accidentally broken in here.

This may be enough to fool a three-year-old child, but if they want to fool Zhao Huaixin, they are just dreaming.

"Commander Zhao, this place is dirty, messy, and stinks. You don't have to come here every day," the prison warden flattered. "Just say the word, and I promise to keep them in check."

Zhao Huaixin said, "Oh, I've sent people to you for a few days. Have you found out anything?"

"This..." The jailer said a little aggrievedly, "Commander, this interrogation is not my responsibility... Besides, I don't think these people have any serious problems. They are just poor people who came from a remote country to make a living."

Zhao Huaixin stopped and the jailer was walking so fast that he almost bumped into him.

"Commander Zhao?" The jailer took a step back. "Aren't you going?"

"Have you heard a proverb?" Zhao Huaixin suddenly changed the subject.

The jailer asked, "Which proverb?"

"Long hair, short knowledge." Zhao Huaixin said with a glance.

The jailer didn't dare to say anything more, "Commander Zhao is right."

Zhao Huaixin continued to walk inside. The further he went, the clearer the crying became.

"Let me out, let me out, I'm innocent..."

"Let me out, I'm just a businessman."

Zhao Huaixin walked to the door of a cage. There were at least six or seven Japanese people locked up inside. They ate, drank, defecated and urinated together, and the smell was very unpleasant.

The jailer couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeve, but Zhao Huaixin acted as if he didn't smell it and looked at them very calmly.

"Please let me go, sir. I have old people above me and young children below me, they are all waiting for me!" said a Japanese man kneeling down.

Zhao Huaixin showed little sympathy. He said, "I asked you when you came to Pingzhou City? What were you doing here? Do you have a clearance certificate? Did anyone recommend you? What did you answer?"

The man said, "I, I just run a small business. Letters of recommendation are very expensive. How can I afford this?"

"I can't explain it clearly. Why should I let you go?" The safety of Pingzhou City is at stake, so Zhao Huaixin cannot take it lightly.

"All of you suddenly came to Pingzhou City this month. Some are doing business, some are fleeing. Your reasons may seem legitimate, but they don't stand up to scrutiny." Zhao Huaixin pointed at someone casually. "You said you came here to trade in timber, but you have no idea how timber is distributed here. Besides, Pingzhou City is mostly plains, with no forests at all. What timber business are you doing here?"

The person whose name was called said, "I, I was cheated."

Zhao Huaixin laughed again, "Who is the person in the pit?"

The man couldn't answer.

"As a shrewd businessman, it's ridiculous that you travel across the ocean to do business without even finding out the details." Zhao Huaixin would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go. Those who are not of our race must have ulterior motives.

Zhao Huaixin brought a bench and a table and sat outside the cage, waiting for the person inside to speak.

"Tell me, who ordered you here?" Zhao Huaixin sat on the chair. "Those who speak first will be released first, and those who don't speak can stay here."

As he spoke, he asked people to bring a lot of delicious food and fanned them with a fan.

The prison was filled with a foul smell, but suddenly they smelled the aroma of meat, and every prisoner drooled with greed.

They only had one meal a day, which was rough steamed buns mixed with pickles. It was very unpalatable and many people vomited after eating it.

Zhao Huaixin bought his food from Kelailou. He asked Ye Xunqing to prepare him food with a very strong flavor so that it would attract people in the smelly prison.

"Give me food! I want meat!" The prisoners were so hungry that their eyes turned red. "Meat, meat!"

Zhao Huaixin said, "It's not impossible to eat meat. As long as you tell me who is behind this, I can let you go now and treat you to a big meal at Kelailou."

Some of these people have eaten the delicious food at Kelailou, while others have heard of its fame. It is said that those who have eaten there were so happy that they were overwhelmed.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Someone couldn't help but say, "Give me something to eat, get me out of here, and I'll tell you everything. Someone ordered us to do this. He gave us money and told us to uh..."

The man had just said a few words when the person behind him stabbed him in the neck. The white knife came in and the red knife came out, and the man died instantly.

"Tsk." Zhao Huaixin was getting a little anxious waiting, "Can't you bear it anymore?"

The murderer said sinisterly, "I didn't expect that after enduring for so long, I would be defeated by a few pieces of dog food."

Zhao Huaixin threw out a chopstick and aimed it straight at the man's vital point.

The man moved very quickly, raising his hand to block the chopsticks. "Zhao Huaixin, you are really amazing. Much more amazing than that useless man of yours."

"You can scold me, but you can't scold him." Zhao Huaixin drew the sword from his waist. "I am the one who arrested you. It has nothing to do with him."

"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for his order, how could you ants have captured all of us?" The man was furious. "We were almost there, Zhao Huaixin, you bitch, why didn't you just die sooner? You deserved to die all those years ago!"

"Oh?" Zhao Huaixin smiled and said, "From your tone, could it be that we're old friends?"

"Who are you, bitch?" the man said angrily, "I'm going to kill you to avenge my brother!"

Zhao Huaixin said indifferently: "Okay, as long as you can kill me."

The long sword was unsheathed and cut off the opponent's knife hand through the fence. "It's really dangerous!" Zhao Huaixin shook his head and said, "But now, you have no chance."

"My arm!" the man howled. "Ah..."

Zhao Huaixin raised his hand and said, "Catch him alive."

He thought to himself that Ye Xunqing's method was really useful. If a person who had been locked up for a long time had not gone crazy yet, he would definitely not be able to resist when he saw normal food.

Especially these people are very greedy.

They may love their country very much, but they only feel it a little bit.

When there is a lot of reward, there will always be some who are reckless. Similarly, when there is temptation, there will always be someone who speaks.
