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

As she walked, she gently clapped her hands together, and the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent atmosphere.

With every step closer, the shopkeeper's heart sank a little.

"Who did you say you wanted to enjoy just now?" Shen Li asked coldly with a frosty face.

"No... no, I wouldn't dare. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head to deny it, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

However, just as he finished speaking, the rope in Shen Li's hand suddenly rose high, and then with a sharp sound of wind, it hit the shopkeeper's body fiercely.

"Ouch..."

A scream was heard, and the shopkeeper grimaced in pain, his face distorted to the extreme.

"Oh, sorry, I just casually threw it away."

The corners of Shen Li's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.

But her hands did not stop moving at all, and she whipped the shopkeeper several times in succession, making him cry and wail.

Shen Li threw the rope in his hand to Xiao Jingyan.

"Tie up all these evil men."

"Yes."

Xiao Jingyan, Danggui and three drivers tied the shopkeeper and the waiters to a tree in the backyard.

"Tell me! How many people have you harmed?" Xiao Jingyan asked coldly.

"No... no, sir, this is our first time. We have never hurt anyone before." The shopkeeper refused to admit it.

"Don't tell the truth?" Xiao Jingyan ordered, "Danggui, bring a torch!"

"Yes."

Danggui handed over the torch.

Xiao Jingyan took the torch, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since this fool refuses to admit his guilt, don't blame me for being rude! I'll burn all his hair and clothes first, and see if he dares to keep his mouth shut!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already raised the torch and slowly approached the shopkeeper's head.

As soon as the scorching flame approached the shopkeeper's cheek, he felt a wave of scorching heat. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

He knew very well that if the flames touched his hair or clothes, the consequences would be disastrous, and even his skin would be burned.

So he begged for mercy loudly in fear.

"Hero, I...we did use drugs to knock some people unconscious, but we were really only after the money, and we definitely didn't kill anyone!"

The shopkeeper said this with a look of horror, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Is it really like that?" Shen Li narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, his gaze piercing straight at the shopkeeper like a cold sword.

"It's absolutely true, hero! Such a heartless act as harming others will be punished by God. I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had ten times the courage!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed desperately, his voice trembling.

"Hmph! Then tell me, you knocked people unconscious and stole their money. Didn't the victims come to you to get it back? How can you open a shop here and do business without getting hurt?"

Shen Li took a step forward and approached the shopkeeper, his tone becoming increasingly sharp.

"This this……"

The shopkeeper was suddenly speechless, lowered his head, and his eyes flickered. It was obvious that he didn't know how to continue to argue.

Seeing this, Shen Li turned to look at the waiters standing trembling beside him. His cold eyes swept over them like a hawk and he said sternly:

"Who among you can confess the truth? As long as someone tells the truth, I will show leniency to them! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

However, facing Shen Li's intimidation, the waiters were all silent, no one dared to say a word. For a moment, the store fell into a dead silence.

"No one said anything, right? Very good!" Shen Li snorted coldly and began to pace slowly. Every step he took seemed to step on everyone's heart.

"Since no one is willing to confess, don't blame me for being rude! Come on, light a fire! Burn all their hair and clothes to ashes!"

Following Shen Li's order, Xiao Jingyan was seen walking towards the group of waiters step by step with a torch in his hand. The flame in his hand burned more and more vigorously, and was about to touch the hair of one of them.

The man spoke quickly.

"I said, I said."

Then he turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper, his eyes seemed to say: Shopkeeper, don't blame me, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

"A year ago, I followed the innkeeper to this inn. Under his orders, we murdered over twenty people, about one every two weeks."

"How did it happen?"

"Just like before, we'll knock the guests unconscious first, then tie them up, steal all their money and property, and then while they're unconscious we'll beat them to death with a club. Then we'll start removing the bones and the meat to make meat buns, or stir-fry and sell to people who come to the inn to rest during the day."

When Qingluan, who was standing next to him, heard this, she immediately leaned against the wall and started to vomit.

Banxia quickly supported her and patted her back gently: "Sister Qingluan, are you okay?"

Qingluan vomited out all the cold dishes she had just eaten, and only then did she feel better.

"It's okay, it's okay."

At this moment, Shen Li could no longer suppress the shock and anger in his heart.

She widened her eyes and looked at the seemingly honest waiter in front of her in disbelief, cursing in her heart: How cruel and inhumane!

After a long while, she calmed down a little and asked, "So, where did all the bones go?"

The waiter slowly lowered his head, his gaze fixed on where his feet stood, and replied in a low voice, "All the bones... are buried under this big tree."

Shen Li looked at the land in front of him with a serious expression and said to Xiao Jingyan beside him: "Dig!"

Xiao Jingyan nodded without hesitation, and together with Danggui and the driver beside him, he picked up the shovels in his hands and began to dig hard.

Before long, a large pit appeared on the flat ground, revealing several pale bones. The bones looked particularly eerie and terrifying under the light of the torch, giving people a chill.

Seeing this scene, Shen Li's heart tightened and he quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

She frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's report this to the authorities. This kind of thing must be handled by the government."

However, at this moment, the trembling shopkeeper suddenly shouted in horror: "We can't report it to the authorities! If we do, we will surely die!"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Shen Li was furious. She suddenly raised her foot and kicked the shopkeeper hard in the stomach.

"Death for sure? You heartless people, how could you not have considered their lives when you were harming them? So many innocent lives were brutally destroyed by you. Have you all lost your conscience?"

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyan quickly stepped forward to support Shen Li and comforted him, "Master, calm down and don't let yourself get hurt. I will send someone to report to the authorities and ask them to come and deal with this matter as soon as possible."

After saying this, he turned and gave an order to the driver behind him: "Go to the authorities and report the case immediately. Don't make any mistakes!"
