"Go look somewhere else." Situ Yao suspected who was lying.
The village was not very big, and they quickly walked around it, looking at every possible corner, but they didn't find any silver.
The governor came back with a dark face and asked the boss, "Where is the silver hidden?"
"It's inside the cave. Didn't you find it?" The boss thought they were blocked by the formation outside, and disdain appeared in his eyes.
"We went to check, and there's nothing inside." Su Mengyan stood in front of him, her face sullen, and said, "You're doomed now. If you dare to lie, we won't let you die so easily. Have you heard of being cut into pieces?"
"However many people you have killed and how much money you have robbed will be the number of cuts on your body. During this process, you will not die, but you will feel excruciating pain, which will be more painful than death." Su Mengyan's description was too realistic, and many people were scared by her.
"The silver is really hidden in there, absolutely true, I am not lying." If he hadn't been tied up, he would have sworn.
"We didn't see it, so where did the silver go? Big Boss, you might as well think about it." Su Mengyan's words made the Big Boss react. He turned his head to look at Lin Huaian who was tied up. "Second brother, you are the one who keeps the keys to the warehouse. What's going on?"
"Brother, no matter where the money went, it doesn't belong to us anyway. It's useless to know it even if you know it clearly." Lin Huaian was lazy. He knew the reason, but he just refused to say it. His look was enough to make everyone angry to death.
Since they couldn't find the silver, there was no need for them to stay in Luohe Mountain, so Situ Yao asked everyone to go down the mountain.
When they returned to Heyang City, the people all knew that the bandits in Luohe Mountain had been wiped out, so when they went back, the people of Heyang City lined the streets to welcome them, and the city was decorated with lights and lanterns, as if it was New Year's Day.
Everyone was put in a cell and awaited punishment.
Situ Yao did not want to interfere with the judgment of the Heyang City prefect, so he went straight back to the yard and did not go to the government office.
Cui Mixue's wound had been bandaged briefly and the bleeding had stopped. Situ Yao still called a doctor for her and personally went to watch over her.
"Master, you have more important things to deal with. You don't have to stay here with me. I'm fine." Cui Mixue was very sensible and tried to drive Situ Yao away. After a moment, she lowered her head and said, "Besides, I volunteered to block it for you. Even if it means death, I am willing to do it."
She deliberately exposed her snow-white neck to arouse people's imagination.
But Situ Yao didn't even look at her, and said coldly, "I won't let you die. I don't want to take another life on my shoulders."
"Besides, you don't have to do such meaningless things in the future." Situ Yao said with a frown.
If she hadn't deliberately run away, she wouldn't have been caught by Lin Huaian, and there wouldn't have been a fight afterwards. Cui Mixue had brought all of this upon herself, and no one else could be blamed.
Furthermore, Situ Yao was capable of dodging Lin Huaian's attack. Cui Mixue's rush out was superfluous and completely unnecessary.
Cui Mixue fully believed that after this incident, Situ Yao would change his attitude towards her, but she felt that he was even colder and more unapproachable than before.
She couldn't believe it would be like this. Regardless of the wounds on her body, she asked hysterically, "Sir, Su Mengyan and I both blocked the knife for you, why is she different?"
Situ Yao raised his eyelids. "You and her will always be different. When she rushed towards me, she didn't have any of your calculations in her mind. In this respect, you will never be able to surpass her."
"Take good care of your injuries and don't delay your trip." Situ Yao left after saying this.
Cui Mixue wanted to use the favor of saving her life to blackmail Situ Yao, but he didn't fall for it at all. She was so angry that she smashed everything in the house, not caring whether it was in someone else's house or not.
Su Mengyan saw that Situ Yao came from Cui Mixue's place. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "How is Miss Cui's injury?"
"There's no injury to any vital parts. It will be fine after a few days of rest." Situ Yao had checked it long ago and knew that the injury would not be fatal.
Lin Huaian believed that Cui Mixue was Situ Zhao's man, otherwise he wouldn't have known his identity. So when she rushed over, he held back and deflected slightly.
"That's good." Su Mengyan nodded, not knowing what to say.
But Situ Yao stood there and didn't leave. The atmosphere gradually became awkward. So she took the initiative to say, "I'm a little tired."
Situ Yao caught Su Mengyan who was trying to escape, "Are you hiding from me?"
"Why?" Su Mengyan had been deliberately avoiding him since the time at Luohe Mountain.
Situ Yao thought about where this all started, then suddenly realized something, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes, "Is Yan'er jealous?"
"How could I eat something as sour as vinegar?" Su Mengyan pretended to be stupid. She didn't think she was jealous. At most, she felt that the white lotus-like Cui Mixue was not worthy of Situ Yao, and she felt sorry for him.
"If Yan'er isn't jealous, why is she hiding from me?" Situ Yao was relentless and insisted on finding out the reason.
"Sir, you must have seen it wrong. I am not hiding from you. I just didn't sleep last night and I am a little tired now." In order to pretend to be more convincing, Su Mengyan yawned and tears came out.
Seeing her like this, Situ Yao thought that she was indeed tired, so he let her go for now. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Su Mengyan walked away quickly, as if she was afraid that Situ Yao would catch up with her.
In the capital, Lin Huaian's intelligence was delivered to Situ Zhao. After reading it, the study in the Rui Palace was naturally in chaos again.
Bai Qi was hurried over by the people from Prince Rui's Mansion. When he saw the letter Situ Zhao had thrown to him, he was shocked. "The prince didn't return to the capital. He went to suppress bandits. And they just happened to be bandits from Luohe Mountain?"
"How is Lin Huaian?" Bai Qi was a little worried. "How could such a coincidence happen? Did he find out something?"
"Not for the time being." Situ Zhao said confidently, "We have to rescue Lin Huaian now. He can't die now."
"Or, even if he dies, he cannot die at Situ Yao's hands."
Lin Huaian was Situ Zhao's man. He needed a lot of silver to fight for the throne, so he came up with this idea.
Almost all the silver looted from Luohe Mountain was sent to the capital by Lin Huaian. He had this information in his hands, and Situ Zhao was afraid that Situ Yao would ask about it, so he asked Bai Qi to rescue them.
Of course, if you can't save him, you can kill him.
Situ Yao is not a fool. From the day when Lin Huaian revealed his identity, he guessed that this person's identity must be extraordinary.
After the Luo Heshan incident was resolved, Situ Yao immediately went to the prison to see him.
