Chapter 192 Cooperation

"Uncle He, what you said is... true? My parents were not killed by the imperial court, but were murdered by Uncle Li?" After being stunned for a long while, the witch slowly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and asked Uncle He.

Uncle He nodded with a pained look on his face and said, "Miss, there is no need for us to lie to you! After falling off the cliff and surviving, your aunt Liu and I have been hiding from each other. We are just slaves, how can we fight against Li Feng who has taken charge of the village? During this period, we also inquired about your news, but we could not get any news. Later, Li Feng became a bandit and did all kinds of bad things. He colluded with the governor and made the people of Yuzhou suffer. Originally, your aunt Liu and I wanted to continue inquiring, but we never had the chance. Recently, there has been a drought, and we have become beggars. If it weren't for the young master and his men who rescued us, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets!"

The last stone hanging in the witch's heart fell. She knew that Uncle He and Aunt Liu had no reason to lie. Back then, they were the most loyal servants of their parents. They often took care of her when she was a child. Moreover, they had no deep hatred with Uncle Li, so there was no need to wrongly accuse him. As for why Uncle Li did not kill her but kept her, she was able to find the reason quickly.

She was smart since she was young and had a strong talent for witchcraft. After learning some basic witchcraft techniques from her mother, she was able to use them skillfully. She was especially good at controlling poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Over the years, she had used her skills to help Li Feng deal with many people who wanted to attack the village, and also helped him deal with many people he hated. Similarly, her hands were stained with too much blood because of her own ignorance. She was guilty! The witch's heart was instantly in pain.

She remembered that when she was a child, her parents often taught her that they were forced to become bandits, but they had to be moral bandits and must not kill innocent people. But over the years, she...

Although she remembered what her parents said, she was still used and deceived by Li Feng, and harmed innocent people.

"Dad... Mom... my daughter, I'm sorry!" The witch squatted down with heartache, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Qingyan looked at the painful look of the witch, and she couldn't help but sighed in her heart: [Ah... This witch is a bit pitiful. In fact, her nature is not bad, but she was deceived by others. Li Feng used her to do a lot of bad things. Her parents were good people. Although they were bandits, they never hurt innocent people. They were also used by Li Feng because they valued friendship too much. This Li Feng is really hypocritical. He says one thing to one person and another to another. In front of the witch's parents, he pretended to be pitiful. In order to gain the trust of the witch's parents, he directed and acted to save people and cut himself with a knife. Therefore, the witch's parents trusted him so much, but were deceived and used by him to die tragically, and their daughter was used by others and had blood on her hands. ]

Pei Jingchuan didn't feel sorry for the witch. He felt that although the witch was deceived, when she grew up and saw Li Feng killing those innocent people, didn't she know how to investigate? Could it be that she didn't ask anything and just did whatever Li Feng asked her to do? If she wanted revenge, she should find the enemy instead of spreading the hatred to all the court officials, right?

Pei Jingchuan did not sympathize with her, and even secretly planned that after using the witch to deal with the bandits, he would handle it impartially to see how many bad things this witch had done. If she really did too many evil things, then she must be punished. After all, no matter how pitiful she was, those good people who were killed by her, were they not pitiful?

"Now, here is a chance for you to take revenge. As long as you cooperate with us, we will bring Li Feng to justice." Pei Jingchuan interrupted the witch's crying and stepped forward and said coldly.

At this time, Xu Qingyan also came back to her senses, thinking of their original plan, and looked at the witch seriously, saying: "Li Feng has done a lot of bad things over the years. If you still have some conscience and want to avenge your parents, you only need to cooperate with us now."

"What do you want me to do?" Upon hearing this, the witch stopped crying and looked up at Xu Qingyan and the others.

Of course she wanted to avenge her parents! How could she let Li Feng go? Today, she knew the truth. Even if Xu Qingyan and the others didn't tell her, she would find a way to take revenge. Now that the other party took the initiative to speak, she was a little curious about what the other party wanted her to do.

"We need you to lead us into the village smoothly through the small path and help us avoid harm from poisonous insects and beasts, as well as traps in the village." Xu Qingyan raised her eyes and said.

The bandit village was full of traps. The last time Pei Jingyuan led people to track them, they were only on the mountainside when they were killed by poisonous snakes. If they wanted to enter the mountain village, there would be more poisonous insects there. If there was no one who knew how to avoid these risks for them, then even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to win.

"That's all?" The witch said with some surprise.

She thought Xu Qingyan and the others would ask her to do something very difficult, but it turned out to be nothing more than this.

However, she still looked at Xu Qingyan with some doubt and said, "How did you know there was a path on that mountain? Not many people know about this!"

"Of course I sent people to investigate first. I knew it existed, but we couldn't get in, so I came to you." Xu Qingyan naturally couldn't tell her how she knew it, so she made up an excuse.

The witch did not ask any more questions. She hated Li Feng so much that she agreed to their request without any hesitation.

After dealing with the witch, Xu Qingyan and the others originally wanted to keep the witch and He Bo and the others in the inn, but unexpectedly, the witch insisted on going back to take care of Pei Jingyuan.

Xu Qingyan could only look at Pei Jingchuan helplessly, nodded at him, and asked him to agree for the time being.

[Last time, Princess Louxi unexpectedly didn't like Pei Jingyuan, but this witch seems to be following the trajectory in the book, and I'm afraid she will fall in love with Pei Jingyuan. Forget it! Now is not the time to worry about these things. We should use the witch to get rid of those bandits first. The witch's hands are stained with blood because she was deceived. After the matter is over, she will be punished during the trial. By then, Pei Jingyuan may do something like jailbreaking in order to continue to use her. At that time, I have to remind my husband to keep a close eye on them. If Pei Jingyuan dares to jailbreak, catch him, and convict him and put him in jail! ] Xu Qingyan thought secretly.

But Pei Jingchuan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he silently remembered Xu Qingyan's words in his heart. Before that, when he had the witch sent to Pei Jingyuan, he quietly arranged for secret guards to monitor their every move in the dark. Don't say that they really made a discovery.
