The prince is very cruel

This is also the reason why Deng Laogui was not killed. Anyone who can become the biggest human trafficker in Guangdong and Guangxi must have his own unique qualities, and Guan Ning values ​​this.

Hai Mei standing by seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

Deng Laogui was stunned for a moment: "Young man, why are you asking this..."

"You don't have to answer." Guan Ning smiled.

Old Ghost Deng trembled all over. He could choose not to answer, but what would happen if he didn’t answer?

He was especially frightened when he saw Hai Mei.

"I have people in most of the Central Plains, about 400 or so. I pay them money and let them make a living in various places, and even bribe local ministers, so that I can collect various intelligence and sell them." He explained.

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. With more than four hundred ears and eyes, this was no ordinary person. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the number one among the people.

"You can remotely control so many people to get information for you. I'm afraid it's not just money that's needed, right?"

Deng Laogui was startled, feeling as if he had been seen through and had nowhere to hide.

"Young man, this does indeed involve some tricks."

"Poison?" Guan Ning asked again.

"Yes, and I also have some dirt on some court officials. Of course, they are all local officials of the seventh or eighth rank. I wouldn't dare to go after anyone higher than that."

"It's easy to be liquidated." Old Ghost Deng smiled awkwardly.

Guan Ning and Hai Mei looked at each other and thought, this old man is quite smart and has found the right balance.

"Are you interested in working with me?" Guan Ning didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Deng Laogui's shrewd eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Yes, yes, I do!"

Guan Ning squatted down and smiled: "You are a smart person, I like it."

"But if you work with me, you have to follow my rules."

"Don't worry, young man. I will definitely follow your lead. If you want me to go east, I won't dare to go west. Even if you want my lover, I will give him up immediately!" Deng Laogui was so loyal.

But Guan would rather not believe these nonsense. These gangsters say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. What Deng Laogui said and did was just to escape from trouble.

"Okay, since you are willing to follow me, then eat this." Guan Ning smiled and took out a few pills like a magic trick.

Deng Laogui's face suddenly changed and turned the color of liver.

"This this……"

"Young man, this, this is inappropriate..."

"What's wrong with this? Don't you also feed people poison pills? I'm a fair person. As long as you make contributions in the future, I'll give you the antidote." Guan Ning smiled.

Hai Mei on the side had a strange look on her face. Isn't this medicine for curing diseases? It's not a poison pill at all.

This guy is really cunning!

"no, do not want!"

"Young man, can I not eat it?"

"I'm already this old and don't have much time left. I can't stand this. Please, give me a way to live, and I promise to be loyal to you!" Old Ghost Deng cried miserably, with tears and snot.

Guan Ning shook his head, unmoved: "This medicine will not harm you, I will give you the antidote on time."

"If you don't eat, then I can't treat you as my own."

"Then let the Holy Lotus Sect deal with you." Guan Ning stood up as he said that.

"No!"

"No!" Deng Laogui shouted, his heart and liver were broken. What was the Holy Lotus Sect? Others might not know, but how could he not know?

"I eat, I eat!"

As he said that, he snatched the pill, swallowed it, and opened his mouth to show Guan Ning.

"Young man, from now on, I am yours, you must protect me!"

Guan Ning laughed at her fear of death. It turned out that the name Hai Mei was really useful.

"What about you?" He looked at the others again.

The remaining few people looked at each other and dared not delay. They took the pills and swallowed them one by one. Although they felt like they had eaten a dead fly, at least they had eaten the pills and were safe.

Guan Ning threw a knife to them and said, "Just do it yourself."

"I will give you two tasks. The first is to hand over all your existing intelligence. From now on, it will no longer be sent here, but to the capital, to a man named Sheng Qi."

"Secondly, mobilize all your spies to monitor the Central Plains, especially the movements of the local officials and armies!"
