Chapter 259: Dissension
Looking at the aggressive Su Bowen, the two spies not only did not repent, but also wanted to turn the tables.
They retreated vigorously, revealing a look of fear and anxiety.
He was still yelling, "Look, Su Bowen is trying to force a confession out of me. Folks, don't be fooled by him.
He wants the two of us to be scapegoats to cover up the fact that they embezzled life-saving herbs!"
Su Bowen laughed in anger, "It is said that the people of Dayin are shameless and have no regard for the bottom line. I have seen it today. The evidence is solid, but they still want to put two more accusations on me.
Xu Li, you can't talk to these two people properly. Show them the way we deal with Dayin's practices!"
Xu Li had been itching with anger for a long time, and he wished he could just take action directly. After hearing what Su Bowen said, he couldn't wait to say a word.
He immediately walked forward and said cheerfully: "General, stand back and don't let these two crazy dogs pollute your eyes."
After that, he squatted down, took out a small box from his arms, and said slowly: "My family has been doctors for generations, and my acupuncture skill is inherited from my grandfather. If you can still stay so strong after taking three injections from me, I will respect you as a man."
After that, Xu Li took out a silver needle. The long and thin needle made people scared just by looking at it.
Xu Li said kindly, "Don't worry, my hands are very steady and they don't usually shake!"
The spy was already starting to get scared, but he still refused to admit it. He stiffened his neck and said, "You talk a lot about morality, but you still rely on these dirty tricks to intimidate us ordinary people!"
Xu Li sneered, "It's rare to find ordinary people as bold as you. Don't worry, I'll prick a few acupuncture points on you to get rid of the foul air in your body."
After saying that, he thrust a needle into the tip of the spy's middle finger, and the spy screamed in pain.
Xu Li said slowly, "Don't move. You have to pierce all ten of the ten acupoints to be effective. I only pierced one. It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart. The ten acupoints are the most painful acupoints in the human body. Xu Li put more effort into this needle, and the spy was in so much pain that he cried for his parents.
Xu Li said with a click of his tongue, "This is only the first needle, and you can't stand it. How can that work? The next needle will be pierced into your truth-telling point. This needle will not only make you feel so painful that you want to die, but also make you say whatever you ask, and you will tell me everything you know!"
The spy's voice began to tremble: "Do you think you can scare me like this? I don't believe it!"
When the two were in such a stalemate, the other spy was already scared out of his wits. He wanted to sneak away while no one was paying attention.
Little did he know that Xu Li was waiting for him.
As soon as he took a step, Xu Li stared at him and said with a cold look: "Hey, don't leave. Just now, you two sang in unison, just like performing a crosstalk. It seems that you have a very good relationship. You are good brothers. You should share the good and the bad. Let me give you a shot first, and then I will give your brother a second shot." As
Xu Li said this, he held the needle and walked towards another spy. This one was not as tough as the previous one.
Moreover, his good brother had been wailing for a long time after the needle was inserted. Just think about it and you can imagine how uncomfortable it is.
Although Xu Li was holding the needle, his body movements were extremely agile. He easily blocked the spy in two or three steps.
He said maliciously: "Don't run, my needle is very stable!"
The man looked at the needle that was longer than his palm and was scared to death: "Don't stab me, don't stab me, I will confess everything. We are indeed sent by the Great Yin. The purpose is to make you fight among yourselves. It is best to let the people in the Western Territory solve the Su family army by themselves, so that our army can fight back!"
The other one raised his hand, endured the pain and said angrily: "You coward, he scared you, why did you confess everything, now you really have no way out!"
Unexpectedly, the coward not only did not feel guilty, but also persuaded his brother: "Anyway, our mission has failed, there is no way out anyway, why should we suffer again, you confess too, it hurts me just looking at you!"
"You...you are not worthy of being a warrior of Great Yin!" The spy with the needle in his hand gritted his teeth and cursed.
The other spy said with tears and laughter: "I am not a warrior, I am just a street thug!"
The two were still arguing, but those who were making trouble already knew that they were fooled by the spies.
Thinking about what they had just done, the people felt guilty and worried.
Su Bowen and the Su family army had suffered such a great injustice, and they could get over it in their hearts.
They had just said such decisive words, and although those soldiers did not fight back, the anger in their eyes could not be hidden, and they might not settle the score later.
Those people no longer had the arrogance they had just now. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
A clever young man ran towards the two spies and started punching and kicking them, saying as he beat them:
"You damned spies, you deliberately spread rumors, confused people, slandered General Su and his subordinates, and lured us here to say bad things to General Su and the Su family army, who are strong-willed and dedicated to the people. I will beat you to death and then make General Su pay for it!" After
the clever young man said this, many people understood that the instigators of this matter were the two spies.
First, get rid of these two spies, and then give General Su a gift. Maybe General Su will forgive them.
The two spies became everyone's punching bags and were beaten to death.
Su Bowen did not stop them. These two were obviously untrained minions who did not have any useful information. Such people deserved to be killed.
People were beaten to death, and the scene became awkward again. Su Bowen knew that his brothers were angry. As soon as they arrived in the Western Territory, they fought with the puppet army day and night.
The puppet army was defeated, and they fought with the regular troops of Dayin again. It was not easy to drive Dayin out of the border of Dashuo.
They were not idle either, and were busy helping the people in the Western Territory to resume production.
Finally, they were able to return to the court soon, and the plague came again. Without saying a word, they threw themselves into the work of fighting the plague.
Because Su Bowen led by example and did everything himself, his subordinates were also very diligent, taking care of the patients without sleep, and were so tired that they could fall asleep while standing.
They did not ask for anything in return. As Su Bowen said, as soldiers of Dashuo, it was their mission to protect the people of Dashuo.
But they never expected that what they were waiting for was a backstab by these people. These fools actually suspected that they had secretly taken the antidote.
Su Bowen understood that if they were not allowed to vent their anger, they would certainly not work as hard as before to protect the people of the Western Border.
After all, the rift had already occurred!
