As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
"I'll tell you everything, I'll be completely open and honest with you!"
......
Wu, the boss, never expected that after he had threatened them for so long, and they had only stammered out a few words, they would now spill out all their words like beans.
The men of Shanshui Village were stunned.
Shui Qingzhen is truly amazing.
Everything that they couldn't get done for so long was solved by Shui Qing as soon as she arrived!
"Stop fighting, speak one at a time!" Old Wu roared.
Seeing Shui Qing walk towards him, he unconsciously swallowed and waited.
He... didn't know why, but he was also a little afraid of her.
No, it's not fear, it's respect, reverence, yes, it's reverence!
He rubbed his hands nervously and greeted her, "Sister Shuiqing, you're here."
Is it because you think his interrogation was inadequate?
Shui Qing nodded in response, then narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the group of bandits in front of her—it was too dark to see clearly.
The bandits, their hands and feet bound, instinctively backed away. They had clearly seen this woman slash their leader's ear with a swift stroke!
It was also she who left the boss and his group with no way to live and no way to die...
"I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. If you don't answer or your answers are incomplete or untrue, well, that's what will happen to you over there."
"Oh, and as for how to know if you've been lying, see those groups of people? If even one group says something you didn't say, then they've been lying, and you'll end up like Boss Zhu." Shui Qing finished speaking gently, then asked, "Understood? Yes, I'll start asking."
The people on the ground nodded hurriedly: "We understand! We will definitely tell the truth."
Li Wen, Li Wu, Xu Laoda, Wang Laoba, and the others also came over, unknowingly standing behind Shui Qing, waiting for her to ask questions.
"Why kill the elderly, injure the young and strong, and leave the children behind?" Shui Qing looked at the bandits at the front and asked directly.
A bunch of people were surprised that they would ask this question! The previous noise all disappeared, leaving a deathly silence.
Shui Qing knew she had asked the right question.
She pointed to the man at the front, "You speak, or I'll cut your ear. Then the people behind you will speak, and whoever speaks out will be fine."
The questioning must be carried out in a practical manner; otherwise, they will only push each other around.
The man who was pointed at shuddered, gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Because the elderly are the most useless, keeping them is just a waste of food."
We, being young and strong, are afraid of their retaliation. Even if our hands and feet are healed after being broken, we will still be crippled, limping and unable to resist, but we can still work. In this way, after we take over your village, we will have houses, food, money, and people to do the work.
"Child, child"
Li Wen, Li Wu, Wang Laoba, and the others all gasped in shock.
They almost became livestock to these people, or even worse. At least livestock don't lose their hands or feet!
Old Wu opened his mouth, but he had been asking for a while and still hadn't gotten to this point.
Shui Qing knew that what followed was the most important. She reached out and took the long knife from Boss Wu's hand, weighing it in her hand.
The man on the ground stared at the long knife and cried out in terror, "The child is being kept to be sold elsewhere to earn money!"
Now things are in chaos. The wealthy families outside are buying people and livestock to raise assassins. These half-grown boys are the most suitable. They can sell for seven or eight taels each, and the good ones can sell for more than ten taels.
Girls, on the other hand, work in brothels and can fetch a good price.
