Chapter 189: Wen Ruyue suffered heavy losses again

"Whatever you want to know, I will explain it all clearly. I guarantee that not a single word will be wrong."

The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not even caring that he was knocking on his own urine.

Whenever he thought of the torture described by Wen Yan, he felt pain in all the bones in his body.

Uncle Tian looked at Wen Yan, who waved his hand. Uncle Tian then dragged him aside for interrogation.

After a while, Uncle Tian came back and whispered something to Wen Yan.

The identities of these people were exactly as Wen Yan had expected.

They were originally disaster victims from this area.

Due to geographical conditions, the nearby villages are already poor.

When the drought hit, they had no financial resources to withstand the risk.

Soon, they fell into famine.

They also asked the government for help at the beginning, but unfortunately, the government not only did not provide relief, but also covered their mouths and did not allow them to speak about the disaster.

Later, when they could no longer survive, they joined the village scoundrels in "robbing the rich and helping the poor", and finally they were able to have food to eat.

Subsequently, their team gradually grew and its size expanded from one village to the current six villages.

They almost formed a bandit group, with men, women, young and old, totaling nearly two thousand people.

Different people are responsible for finding prey, stalking, and taking action.

Like today, they came out in two groups.

One group ambushed Wen Yan, and another group ambushed Wen Ruyue and the others.

Normally they are "disaster victims" struggling to survive, and only when prey appears will they briefly become bandits.

They all had families and complicated relatives, but no one leaked the information.

This is why they are unwilling to confess. Once someone betrays them, their relatives will be eliminated by their own people.

"Ask again." Wen Yan felt that their explanation was not clear enough.

He turned around and walked into the "prisoners" and brought out another person.

Seeing that everyone in front of him had confessed, the man dared not to be stubborn and confessed everything as well.

Uncle Tian interrogated seven people in a row and finally got a different piece of information: their village had actually been receiving relief grain from the government, but these were collected by the village chief on his behalf, and ordinary villagers did not know about it.

Wen Yan sneered, as expected.

These people have become bandits and still want to make money from both ends.

Moreover, they had robbed more than a dozen times and killed nearly a hundred people.

Uncle Tian asked Wen Yan, "What should we do with these people?"

"None of them are clean. Kill them all."

"yes."

Uncle Tian picked up a big knife and walked into the crowd to reap lives.

Those people kept begging for mercy, asking them to spare their lives, asking them to have mercy.

Some people also cursed: "Haven't you already confessed? Why won't you let us go?!"

Wen Yan answered them coldly, "Those people you robbed and killed begged you for mercy before they died. Did you let them go?"

Knowing they could not survive, those people struggled and cursed in despair.

However, the sound soon died down.

Because Uncle Tian had killed them all.

The strong smell of blood filled the woods.

Wu Yunzi could no longer hold back and held onto the tree stump, vomiting loudly.

Wen Yan just glanced at him and said nothing more. After all, he was a rich young man who grew up in the capital.

He had lived a life of luxury since childhood, let alone such a bloody scene with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

He had never even seen some ordinary evil people and evil deeds.

Wen Yan didn't blame him, but just reminded Uncle Tian: "Just in case, give them all another stab and cut their trachea."

Uncle Tian was stunned for a moment before doing as he was told.

Wu Yunzi, who had just calmed down a little, felt his stomach cramp again when he heard this, and he started vomiting again.

Pearl was much calmer.

While she was being interrogated, she was busy packing her luggage.

At this time, although her face was pale, she did not vomit.

Wen Yan looked at her worriedly: "Aren't you disgusted or scared?"

Pei'er shook her head firmly: "I'm not afraid. They have killed others too, and their deaths were not unjust."

Wen Yan touched her head and said nothing more.

After dealing with these prisoners, Wen Yan and his group left and went to meet up with Uncle Lin.

Wu Yunzi had already vomited so much that his whole body felt weak and he had no strength left.

At this time, Uncle Tian and Uncle Shitou helped him onto the horse's back, and then he headed towards Uncle Lin.

When they found Uncle Lin, the battle on Wen Ruyue's side was nearing its end.

Many people died in the camp.

However, most of them were ragged "victims", and there were also a small number of bodies of bodyguards and guards.

However, Wen Ruyue, Situ Ming and the food were well protected in the rear and were not affected at all.

The "disaster victims" realized that the situation was hopeless and immediately retreated with the few bags of food they had looted. They quickly fled into the woods and were never seen again.

The escort chased for about ten meters, then retreated and began to check the injuries of the fallen escort.

Four people lost their lives and three were seriously injured.

Wen Ruyue had lost a lot of food again, and she was almost going crazy.

Seeing that the escorts did not chase, he thought they were slacking off and not fulfilling their duties.

He pointed at the escorts and called them useless, ordering them: "Catch them! Bring them back, I will tear them into pieces."

Wen Ruyue roared, her angry expression almost crazy.

The escort leader showed an impatient expression on his face.

If Wen Ruyue hadn't been so reckless and rushed around on the battlefield, adding to their burden, causing several of his brothers to be injured and lose their lives.

Hearing her blind command at this moment, he was not willing to accept it. He immediately looked at Wen Ruyue with an unfriendly look.

Seeing this, Situ Ming quickly dissuaded Wen Ruyue: "Forget it.

It's dark now, and we're not familiar with the terrain. Even if we chase them, we might not be able to catch them, and we might even lose more people."

He turned back to persuade the escort leader: "I know you are very unwilling to lose several brothers, and I am also very sad.

But the dead cannot be resurrected.

We are in the same boat now, there is no need to hurt the harmony over such a small matter."

"We will give three times the pension to your brothers." Situ Ming persuaded both sides.

The escort leader also knew that it was unwise to fall out with the boss now.

So many of my brothers have died, and I still have to ask them for the pension.

Moreover, although Situ Ming speaks nicely, he is actually a despicable villain.

When Wen Ruyue was bossing them around, he didn't come out to persuade her.

He just wanted to test his own bottom line by using Wen Ruyue's mouth.

If he were attacked next time, he would probably push them out to block the attack without hesitation.

The escort leader snorted coldly and arranged for his brothers to treat the injured ones and bury the dead ones while the uninjured ones.

Situ Mingze returned to the carriage, wrote a short letter and sent it by carrier pigeon.

Uncle Shitou covered his mouth with his hands and made a few "cooing" sounds like a pigeon.

The pigeon flew towards them and finally landed on Uncle Shitou's head.

Uncle Shitou caught the carrier pigeon, Wen Yan took out the secret letter, and read it at a glance.

She couldn't help but smile.

Uncle Shitou immediately asked, "What's written on it?"

"Someone has sent us food again." Wen Yan smiled, restored the letter, and released the carrier pigeon again.
