Otherwise, how come they have no recollection of it at all?!
They did absolutely nothing last night; they just slept in the barracks.
Xingming ignored them and continued turning towards Yan Lang.
What did they say?
Yan Lang spoke, and the two guards immediately panicked, trying to explain to him...
But Yan Lang's soldiers reached out to stop him.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers in the rear became tense, as if they had a bad premonition.
Xingming, seemingly oblivious to those around him, continued, "I overheard them discussing how the grain in the granary got wet, and they were worried about being scolded by the military supervisor, so they wanted to take it out to dry..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
The two guards were furious and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Yan Lang glanced to the side, and the soldiers beside him immediately took two handkerchiefs and stuffed them into their mouths.
At the same time, four soldiers arrived and held the two men firmly in place.
Yan Lang looked at Xing Ming again.
Xingming continued, "They slipped some silver to the guards and went to the gate. One of them was worried that the buyer might be discovered by the supervising officer..."
Another person said that they found passing buyers who would buy and leave immediately, so even if the supervising officer wanted to investigate, he wouldn't be able to find any evidence.
The old Taoist priest dared not get too close, and saw them stuff things into the hands of the sentries at the gate, and then transport the carriage out...
The two guards, who were tied up and gagged, struggled desperately, making incoherent sounds, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Xingming added fuel to the fire, "I originally thought that since they pulled off a big heist last night, they wouldn't try to extort me again today..."
Who would have thought those two soldiers were so greedy, not letting any opportunity to plunder slip by!
Seeing that they had been captured and witnessing Yan Lang's stern attitude, the two guards knew things were going badly...
Yan Lang turned to look at the other soldiers behind him, "Do any of you have anything to say?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing presence without being angry.
Although the two acted on their own, several others were secretly observing them at the time...
If the military supervisor asks and we don't speak now, the news might leak out from someone else...
On the contrary, he left a bad impression on Supervisor Yan...
As everyone hesitated, their expressions shifted, all of which Yan Lang noticed.
Yan Lang waved behind him, and a group of people quickly came over.
Yan Lang pointed at the two guards and the soldiers behind them, and ordered sternly, "Lock them all up and interrogate them one by one!"
He turned to look at Xingming, then instructed the guards beside him to remove the purses from the two guards, empty the silver coins, and return them to Xingming...
The remaining silver ingots were taken away as evidence.
Even while being escorted, the two guards stared intently at Xingming, their eyes practically spitting fire...
They wished they could burn Xingming alive!
Only after everyone left did Xingming walk back into the house with a smug look on his face.
"How was it? My acting was pretty good, wasn't it?"
Xingming got a little carried away.
Ning Xi'er tossed him a water pouch filled with wine. He was about to drink when Ning Xi'er stopped him.
Ning Xi'er threw him two steamed buns and a packet of braised beef, telling him to eat something to line his stomach and not to drink on an empty stomach.
Xingming took it with a smile, but before leaving, Ning Xier reminded him with a grin, "If you ever dare to use that acting skill on me again, I'll skin you alive!"
Xingming shuddered, taking it as Ning Xier's praise for his acting skills, and ran away.
Since Yan Lang didn't investigate the matter of Xie Zhun and her not working, Ning Xi'er brazenly put Xie Zhun back into her spatial storage.
He prepared a hearty breakfast and some spiritual spring liquid for him, then took him to the rehabilitation room before preparing to leave.
Xie Zhun looked at her and asked, "You plan to teach those two guards a lesson again?"
Judging from the way she watched the show just now, she was clearly not satisfied yet.
Ning Xi'er smiled, feeling very gratified that Xie Zhun understood her.
"How did they bully our people and the villagers when we weren't around?"
"For merely reselling grain, at most we'll get a few dozen lashes. If we don't die, they'll definitely cause us trouble afterwards!"
Ning Xi'er didn't necessarily want to take their lives; what she wanted was...
They brought it upon themselves; they couldn't stay in the wilderness.
It can also serve as a deterrent to other soldiers in the wasteland.
With Xie's tacit approval, Ning Xi'er used her invisibility ability to arrive at the quarry.
Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, they brought Zheng Ye into the space.
Zheng Yechu was initially surprised, but instantly became overjoyed.
Every time I'm brought into this space, it's because Ning Xi'er is up to something!
It's so exciting just thinking about it!
