Xu Zhao looked at Shen Lingge like this, looking like a gangster, with one foot on the second in command's leg and the white knife constantly hovering on the edge of his neck. It can be said that he was more like a bandit than a bandit.

Shen Lingge didn't know whether the bandit was frightened or just stubbornly refusing to speak. He angrily asked, "You were quite talkative when we were in the woods just now. How come you're mute now?"

"If you don't tell the truth, I won't be so easy to talk to."

The second boss: "..."

You don't look like someone who's easy to talk to now.

After following Shen Yu for many years, I finally have the opportunity to show my abilities, so I must do my best to perform.

Shen Lingge didn't give the bandit a chance to speak. He had already sensed that this thief had no courage and was probably a good-for-nothing. So he said to himself, "Do you know Lingchi? Lingchi is also known as a thousand cuts. It means cutting off a person's flesh piece by piece, causing them to die in agony."

He became more and more interested as he spoke. He waved the dagger in front of the second in command, and the blade flashed across the second in command's face.

"I heard someone was tortured to death by slow slicing for three whole days, yet managed to survive the first day, only to bleed to death. Let's see if it's your words or your flesh that's tougher." He placed his hand against the second-in-command's face and threatened, "Why don't we start with this mouth that uttered the foul words?"

The knife, which was completely cold, was pressed tightly against his face. The second in command's face turned pale with fear and his hands were shaking.

I originally thought that I had met an ordinary citizen who knew martial arts and was just a martial arts hero passing by. I thought that begging for mercy might save my life.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by soldiers and officers. The brothers who came out with him were tied up, piled together like garbage, and guarded.

Standing in front of him was the brat who had just run out from nowhere.

The current scene clearly told him that he was captured alive by a group of officers and soldiers, and these officers and soldiers also wanted to suppress bandits!

He is a man who looks strong but is weak inside. He is used to relying on the power of the mountain to bully others. As for his ability, apart from having a little bit of brains, he basically has no fighting power.

Now that the knife is at my neck, it is important to save my life.

Before Shen Lingge's knife even fell, the second-in-command immediately begged for mercy, "Young Master, spare my life! I'll tell you everything!"

When in the woods, Shen Yu protected Xu Zhao very well and he was not hurt at all.

Xu Zhao was curious about the bandits who had only appeared on TV before, and this was the first time he saw them alive. He watched Shen Lingge's interrogation the whole time.

But I didn't expect that, unlike those bandits in TV dramas who rob the rich to help the poor, the bandit in front of me was as timid as a mouse. After being scared like this, he was willing to confess the truth.

It's no longer interesting.

However, Shen Lingge's criticism during the interrogation was quite interesting.

Some bandits value loyalty and would rather die than surrender. I think he sensed something and prescribed the right remedy, which is why the thief was willing to reveal his wealth.

Shen Lingge turned around and smiled at Xu Zhao, trying to take credit for it, and pointed at himself with a thumbs up, looking a bit ruffian-like.

Xu Zhao laughed, he still had the temper of a child.

"Tell me first, what is your name and why did you become a bandit." Shen Lingge put away his dagger.

This dagger was given to him by the emperor's uncle. He used it to torture the thief to death, and he even felt that the thief's blood had stained his dagger.

The second in command blurted out, "My name is Luo Lei, and I'm originally from Chizhou. Three years ago, Chizhou was hit by a severe drought, and the people were living in dire straits. I fled here on my way to escape the famine and became a bandit."

Shen Lingge knew about the severe drought in Chizhou three years ago, so I don't think Luo Lei would dare to lie.

"Tell me the truth, how many bandit strongholds are there in this area?" Shen Lingge was still stepping on Luo Lei's knee, and he put away the dagger. In order to increase the deterrent effect, he used some force on his foot.

"Sir, spare my life! My legs are about to break," Luo Lei grimaced in pain. He was originally hesitant about whether to tell the truth, but now he had lost his courage. "There are three bandit camps nearby."

"Then tell me in detail how many people there are in these three villages and where they are located."

Luo Lei was a man who could not stand being frightened. He looked around and saw people everywhere holding knives. He had a premonition that if he dared to hide something or hesitate, he might be beheaded before he could even open his eyes.

"The three villages nearby are Lihua Village, Songfeng Village, and Chuntian Village. Each of them has no more than a hundred people."

In the end, everyone easily got a lot of things out of Luo Lei's mouth.

Luo Lei came from Songfeng Village, one of the three mountain villages. Songfeng Village got its name because it was located in Songfenggang. There were 112 people in the village, most of whom were refugees and thugs wanted by the government. They gathered together to become bandits.

He's considered the bully of this area.

On weekdays, they make a living by robbing passers-by. If times get tough, they will go down the mountain to nearby villages to steal food and money.

Lihua Village, which is not too far from Songfeng Village, is not completely considered a bandit village. The people in the village are all the elderly, the weak, women and children.

The village was led by a couple who mostly took in women abandoned by their husbands' families. They also took in abandoned baby girls from the mountains. As a result, there were only about sixty people in the village who could actually bear arms, and the remaining forty or fifty were all the elderly, weak, and children.

The people in Lihua Village never go down the mountain to rob. The women in the village make a living by their own skills. Most of them take the crops and embroidery they grow to the town or Li'an City to sell.

If you insist, Lihua Village seems to have carved out an area in the mountains to house those abandoned by the world. To these people, it is just a paradise.

As for the other hilltop is Chuntian Village.

In the past, Chuntian Village was engaged in the business of robbing the rich to help the poor, and never killed innocent people. Luo Lei didn't know exactly how many people were there because he had very few dealings with them.

It is quite strange that there are three different types of strongholds on a few hills.

"Since you are from Songfeng Village, then tell us about the defense of your village." Shen Lingge looked at Luo Lei lying on the ground with his eyes moving rapidly, and guessed that he was up to something bad, so he stepped hard on him, causing him so much pain that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Don't play tricks. We have 10,000 elite soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield for years. Think about it, don't mess with the group of soldiers behind me."

The person under his feet was in so much pain that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Luo Lei listened to his words and nodded weakly. Only then did Shen Lingge loosen his grip a little.

"Think about it yourself. Would the brothers in your village fight to the death with my ten thousand elite soldiers just to rescue you? It would be better if you tell me your deployment, and the brothers behind me will capture the brothers in your village together, so that we can be reunited."
