Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

Yun Chenyu lowered his head slightly, his narrow eyes mostly hidden by thick eyelashes, making it difficult to glimpse his true emotions.

Time seemed to freeze. After a brief silence, he opened his lips and said:

"What evidence can prove that what you say is true?"

Yun Chenyu knew in his heart that it was impossible to convict Yun Yin based solely on the one-sided words of the short and fat man in front of him.

If this person was the only witness, Yun Yin might turn the tables and falsely accuse him of being instructed by someone else and maliciously framing him.

Hearing Yun Chenyu's question, the short and fat man lying on the ground rolled his eyes, and after a moment of thought, he hurriedly responded:

"Sir, every time they come to transport salt, they bring a certificate stamped with the seal of King Zhao."

"Oh? Then where is this proof now?"

Yun Chenyu stared at the short and fat man with a sharp gaze and asked.

The short, fat man hesitated for a moment, then glanced quickly at the table near the door and replied:

"This document is in duplicate. One copy is kept by the person who comes to collect the salt, and the other copy is placed in that drawer. At the end of each month, they will send someone to collect the document."

After saying this, he did not forget to point to the table near the door.

Seeing this, Yun Chenyu just gave him a look without any expression.

Xiao Jingyan, who was standing aside, understood what he meant and immediately walked quickly to the table. He leaned over and began to rummage through the drawers under the table.

Not long after, the sound of shuffling papers was heard, and Tang Zhou took out a stack of documents from the drawer.

There are about ten copies.

That's enough.

Illegal salt mining, no matter how much, is a capital crime.

Yun Chenyu held the documents carefully, turned to Yun Chenyu, and handed them over respectfully.

Yun Chenyu took the stack of documents, frowned slightly, and flipped through them casually with his slender fingers.

As expected, King Zhao's unique seal was clearly visible on every piece of paper, like a blood-red flower bud blooming on white paper, appearing particularly eye-catching and dazzling.

Yun Chenyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "This King Zhao usually seems quite clever, but how could he be so foolish in this matter, actually leaving himself with such an obvious handle!"

Shen Li, who was standing nearby, said, "Perhaps he never expected that someone would be able to discover and find his secret hiding place deep in the mountains. After all, the mountains here are rolling and undulating, and few people come here."

Yun Chenyu nodded.

In any case, the evidence before him was irrefutable and left King Zhao no room for any further excuses.

Then, Yun Chenyu asked the fat, short man, "How many people are there here?"

The short, fat man thought for a moment and then replied, "Less than three hundred people."

Just now, Shen Li and his team skillfully used anesthetics along the way and successfully knocked down about eight or nine people.

By this calculation, there should be more than 200 people still remaining in this salt mine.

Some of them are mining salt rocks underground, while others are drying them on the ground.

At this time, Shen Li and others were in a simple thatched hut on the ground.

When they came up from the underground passage, they saw a few scattered figures on the ground in the distance.

I guess most people are digging salt rocks underground.

Yun Chenyu turned to look at Shen Li beside him and asked:

"Ali, do you have any extremely powerful drugs? Something that can make over 200 people pass out on the ground?"

"Right now, in order to prevent any emergencies, if we can knock these people out first, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Shen Shenli sighed inwardly and secretly complained: What a sinister guy!

But he didn't say much, just shook his head slightly.

Then she slowly stretched out her delicate hand and took out a large bag of drugs from her sleeve.

As she handed the drugs to Yun Chenyu, she whispered, "Mix these drugs in food and water. Just let those people get a little bit of it, and they will be unconscious for at least ten hours."

Ten hours...

Yun Chenyu silently calculated in his mind that this should give him enough time.

I guess it would take enough time to ride a fast horse back and forth.

It was almost dinner time, the perfect time to administer the drug. Thinking of this, Yun Chenyu handed the large bag of drugs to Xiao Jingyan, who was standing beside him, and decisively ordered, "Hurry and do it! Don't delay!"

"Yes."

Xiao Jingyan took the order and left.

Tang Zhou lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the short and fat man on the ground.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with this person?" Tang Zhou turned his head to look at the imposing Yun Chenyu standing aside and asked respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenyu slowly raised his eyes and turned his gaze towards Shen Li who was standing beside him. He said, "How to punish this bastard who bullied A Li is up to A Li to decide!"

Hearing this, Qingluan, who had been standing behind Shen Li and crying silently, suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Shen Li's sleeve, saying in a choked voice: "Princess...you must make the decision for this servant!"

Shen Li naturally understood what Qingluan was thinking. He patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her and said softly:

"Don't worry, Qingluan. I will definitely seek justice for you for what happened today and make sure this evil villain receives the punishment he deserves."

After saying that, Shen Li turned her beautiful eyes to look at Tang Zhou, and ordered coldly: "Treat him in his own way."

The meaning of the words is self-evident, that is, to punish him with flogging.

Tang Zhou nodded in understanding and immediately bent down to pick up the blood-stained whip on the ground.

Then, he gripped the whip tightly with both hands, swung his arm vigorously, and the whip lashed towards the fat and short man like a ferocious poisonous snake.

"Ah...it hurts...it hurts so much...please spare my life, sir..."

The fat, short man was hit by the sudden whip and rolled on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy.

However, Tang Zhou did not show any mercy and continued to whip him mercilessly on the body and face with the whip in his hand.

"Don't you like whipping people with a whip? Today I'll let you experience it for yourself!"

In a short while, the fat, short man's body was covered with crisscrossing whipping marks, and the bloody wounds were shocking. Blood gushed out from the wounds, instantly dyeing the ground beneath him red.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the fat short man’s screams became weaker and weaker.

Finally, after being whipped a few more times, he could no longer bear the pain, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Seeing this, Tang Zhou stopped what he was doing and threw the whip aside casually.

Shen Li walked over slowly, picked up the woven bag full of salt next to him and poured it on the fat and short man.

"Crash..."

Grains of salt fell one by one into the fat, short man's wounds, melting with blood...

The fat, short man who was in a coma felt severe pain all over his body and suddenly opened his eyes.

His whole face was twisted in pain, and he yelled, "Ah..."

After a moment, he fainted again.

Yun Chenyu ignored him and directly instructed Tang Zhou:

"There is no time to lose! Mount your swift horse and gallop back to the capital. Gather the troops and send them here. Make sure this place is completely sealed off. Don't let even a fly escape!"

"Yes."

Tang Zhou went out, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the capital.
