Chapter 42: Deterrence

"Okay, then I'll trust Commander Lin once more. After you bring the person back, you have to let me handle it."

Shen Jinan put forward his request directly

"I'm afraid this is against the rules..." Commander Lin was a little embarrassed.

He looked at the prisoners. If he really handed them over to Shen Jinan for disposal, wouldn't he have no dignity at all?

How can he gain a foothold in this team?

"Then Commander Lin needs to think carefully about whether he hopes to get the medicine as soon as possible or thinks these so-called rules are important." Shen Jinan was fearless.

The initiative between her and Commander Lin is always in her hands.

Unless Commander Lin is willing to give up the soldiers under his command.

But will he?

After saying that, Shen Jinan took Gu Yanqing and the children away. Commander Lin was left standing there silently, with a troubled look on his face for a long time.

"Commander, the person has been found."

It was not until his adjutant came to report that he came to his senses and looked at the people who were brought over with a complicated expression.

Liu Datou looked unconvinced. He snorted coldly and questioned, "Commander Lin is so arrogant. Why did he arrest someone for no reason?"

"For no reason? Don't you know what you did?" He was furious.

He suffered from Shen Jinan, but he would not endure it in front of these people.

"All we can do is rest there obediently."

They did their work in secret. Lin Datou held his chin up, not believing that they would be discovered.

"Being honest and upright? You almost poisoned an imperial official and you call that being honest and upright? I see you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Come here, treat them well!" Commander Lin's face turned ashen. He waved his hand and someone came over with torture instruments.

"You are not qualified to torture us. We are Commander Zhang's men!" Liu Datou suddenly felt guilty and pulled Commander Zhang's tiger skin to give himself courage.

"Yes, we are Commander Zhang's subordinates, you are not qualified!"

The people under him were also anxious, with panic in their eyes, and they tended to speak without thinking when they were anxious.

"Commander Zhang's subordinates? It seems that he is really senile and dares to use the imperial criminals." Commander Lin raised the corner of his mouth. This is a serious crime.

Liu Datou's face also changed. He didn't expect that his subordinates would be so stupid.

Once these words were spoken, Commander Zhang would no longer be able to protect them, and he might even get rid of them first.

"I say!" Liuzi gave in knowing the situation.

Looking at the situation, he knew that he would not be able to escape the disaster today.

"A woman told us that Shen Jinan's weakness is her two children. If her two children are poisoned, she will be in excruciating pain."

They were blinded by hatred and made such a wrong decision.

If it happens again, they won't dare to do it even if they have a hundred times the courage.

"A woman? What kind of woman?" Commander Lin stepped forward and kicked Liuzi. "Take me to find this person."

Finally, he looked at the officer waiting behind him and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and send the remaining people to Shen Jinan and let her deal with them."

The last few words sounded like a death curse in their ears.

They poisoned Shen Jinan's child, and that woman doesn't know how to take revenge on herself!

"No, sir!" There were cries of pain everywhere.

Hearing their screams, Liuzi's heart ached and he immediately became more obedient. He didn't dare to play any tricks and quickly led them to find Shen Xitang.

"It's her! It's that woman!" Although Liuzi's hands were tied, he was still able to raise his hands.

His eyes were filled with resentment, "He also gave us the poison."

"Chen! Xi! Tang!" Commander Lin looked at her with veins bulging. She had caused a lot of trouble along the way from the capital to here. He didn't expect that this time the incident was caused by her again.

Seeing the commander's furious expression, Liuzi pursed his lips, fearing that he would vent his anger on himself.

Shen Xitang, who was congratulating herself for escaping the disaster, huddled closely with Lin.

Just as he had finally calmed down, someone grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

She looked at the man in panic and found that it was Commander Lin.

She forced a smile and said flatteringly, "If you have anything to say, please send someone to tell me. Why bother the commander to come here in person?"

"Chen Xitang, for Miss Shen's sake, I have tolerated you time and time again. I didn't expect you to go so far as to instigate others to murder an imperial official. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

His furious look frightened Shen Xitang so much that she started to stutter: “I…I didn’t poison anyone…I don’t know anything!”

Liuzi pointed at her hand, his face filled with resentment: "There's a red mole on her wrist. I won't make a mistake. She deceived us with her sweet words!"

No matter what the real situation is, Shen Xitang's guilt must be proven, otherwise they will be greeted with the wrath of Commander Lin and Shen Jinan.

If a person does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, not to mention that it was indeed Shen Xitang who deceived them into poisoning with sweet words.

Shen Xitang should bear the consequences himself.

"Take him away and give him ten lashes first." Commander Lin thought of Shen Jinan's threat and his face turned a little ugly.

No one in the team dared to disobey his orders, and immediately Shen Xitang screamed like a pig being slaughtered. After ten strokes of the board, his clothes were already stained with blood.

"Chen Xitang, it's too easy for me to make one person disappear from the exile team. If it happens again, this road will be your burial place."

Commander Lin grabbed her collar, lifted her up, and threatened her fiercely. This incident had really touched his bottom line.

"I...I won't dare to do it again..." Shen Xitang's face was pale, his breath was weak, and he shuddered.

I accidentally pulled the wound and grimaced in pain.

"You remember what I said."

After warning her again, Commander Lin threw her to the ground and left without looking back.

The officer behind him said nothing and silently took Liuzi to where Shen Jinan and the others were.

Lin rushed over in a panic, trying to help her up but not knowing where to start.

And Shen Xitang had already fainted from the pain.

Several gangsters stood in a row with their hands tied. Without exception, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Shen Jinan.

Shen Jinan moved a chair and sat in front of them, but the aura around him was extremely terrifying.

"Who poisoned me?" Shen Jinan's face was cold.

The words he spoke were like an ice knife, piercing their hearts.

The timid little gangster's legs had begun to tremble, and even his lips were shaking.

"Whoever tells the truth, I can give him a quick death!" Shen Jinan's eyes swept over them one by one.

This puts even more pressure on these already nervous people.
