Chapter 174 Concealment
Pei Yian placed the pill in his hand in front of these people, "Since you are so loyal, I am really sorry!"
Although the words were said very politely, no one present felt any kindness here, and they even felt creepy.
Pei Yian took a look around and stopped in front of the person with the palest face. This person's psychological defense was probably about to be broken.
The man's hands were tied, and the whipping and beatings he had received before had made him so weak that he didn't even have the strength to struggle. He could only watch as the Hana Junzi pill approached him and was about to be stuffed into his mouth.
Images of a life worse than death kept flashing through my mind.
No! No! He doesn't want to eat!
The prisoner was panicked, but he couldn't escape. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "I said, I said, don't feed me!"
The smile on Pei Yian's face became more obvious, but he did not withdraw his handshake, just waiting for these people to tell him everything.
For the criminals, the Hanajunzi Pill is like a death warrant placed in front of them.
He was afraid that if he was a step late, the thing would end up in his mouth. The pain he would suffer then would be a million times worse than the previous torture.
He dared not delay any longer and told everything he knew.
These people are really small fry, just following orders from their superiors. They only know that the superiors asked them to plant flower lilies and capture refugees to test medicine.
As for other news, those people did not know.
"What is the identity of the person above you?" Zhou Yayi, who was standing by, didn't expect that this threat would actually be effective, so he quickly asked the question that concerned him most.
The torture methods did not make these people compromise, but Pei Yian was able to easily solve the problem.
"This... Sir, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really don't know!" The prisoner was afraid that Pei Yian was going to feed him the Huajunzi Pills, so he begged for mercy.
He really has explained everything he knows clearly.
Pei Yian stared at the person in front of him and did not see any so-called guilty emotion on his face. It seemed that this person was not lying.
Although these criminals provided a lot of clues, they did not give any information about the person behind the scenes, which temporarily brought the case to a standstill.
As the yamen runner Zhou and the county magistrate were racking their brains over how to proceed, Pei Yian looked at the evidence on the desk and reminded them, "Perhaps we could start with another clue, such as the undercover Huang Zhubu."
These words were like a beacon of light, and the two of them suddenly realized that this approach was a good one.
Pei Yian did not interfere in the subsequent internal affairs of the yamen, but instead used the excuse of his injuries to go back and rest.
The county magistrate and others naturally would not stop him, knowing that this person had made a lot of efforts and was still injured. They even wanted to hire a carriage to send him back.
Pei Yian rejected this proposal. He walked back to Baiwei Restaurant, but instead of going back to rest, he started working in the restaurant and served as the shopkeeper.
He did not tell anyone in his family about the arrow wound in his back, and since he did not look calm, no one noticed.
Ji Zhisui was just a little curious. An Ge seemed to be very busy recently. He went out early and came back late. He was often nowhere to be seen. One night, he didn't even come home.
She asked, and the other party just said that he was helping the government with a case recently, which was why he was like this.
Thinking that Pei Yian had been very busy recently, and that she had stewed chicken soup this morning to nourish her family, of course she also added a lot of spiritual spring water to the chicken soup.
She came to Pei Yian with chicken soup, reached out and patted Pei Yian on the shoulder and said, "Brother An, this is chicken soup, take it and drink it."
As luck would have it, Ji Zhisui's hand fell right on Pei Yian's wound. Because the wound was bandaged, she only felt the soft touch under her hand when she patted it.
It seemed as if what was covering underneath was not a layer of muscle, but something like soft cloth.
The clothes in this season are thin and we don’t need to wear cotton clothes, so how could they be soft?
If she remembered correctly, Pei Yian's body should be full of hard and strong muscles, which couldn't possibly feel like this. She had some doubts in her heart.
This time, it did touch Pei Yian's wound, but his face showed no pain or tears, and he was able to maintain a smile and said: "Okay, thank you Sui Niang."
Although there was no change in his expression, his pale look could not deceive anyone.
Ji Zhisui had been paying attention to it and discovered the problem at the first time.
Pei Yian's condition was not right. Considering the touch of her subordinates before, she guessed a possibility that the other party might be injured on the back.
Just by seeing the man in front of him quietly drinking chicken soup as if nothing had happened, Ji Zhisui knew that the other party was probably planning to keep this news a secret and not tell anyone.
Just like the poison in his body before.
Because of this speculation, Ji Zhisui has been paying attention to Pei Yian.
He also noticed that after he left with the dishes, Pei Yian turned around and went to the guest room at the back for rest.
He planned to fend for himself and rebandage the wound on his back.
Just as he was unbuttoning his shirt and removing the gauze, there was a knock on the door.
This made Pei Yian unable and afraid to continue his actions. He was just about to put on his clothes and get up.
Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open and the person coming in was Ji Zhisui.
When he saw the person, Pei Yian suddenly froze while putting on his clothes. On the one hand, he didn't expect the other party to come in directly, and on the other hand, he felt a little guilty because the wounds on his back would definitely make the other party anxious if they were discovered.
With this thought in mind, Pei Yian didn't care about anything else and planned to put on his clothes hastily.
After knocking on the door, Ji Zhisui was waiting outside, but she accidentally twisted her foot and fell straight towards the door. Because of her dignity in not falling to the ground, her small body pushed the door open and she came in.
As soon as he entered the room, Ji Zhisui discovered that the man was shirtless with his clothes casually draped over his shoulders.
It should have been a wonderful picture of a handsome man, but the gauze wrapped around the front shoulder was particularly noticeable.
Just as he guessed, Pei Yian was really injured!
Ji Zhisui didn't care about anything else and strode directly to Pei Yian, his face serious and his tone fierce, "Pei Yian, tell me what's going on?"
This time she didn't call him "Ange" directly, but called him by his full name.
Her previous guesses had made her worried for a long time, but after seeing the layers of white gauze, her rationality was mostly gone, and her tone couldn't help but be a little fierce.
