“Crack—”
The door opened.
The man trapped in the chair screamed, "I don't want to die, please let me go!"
Jiang Li gave Mo Xiaoxiao a look. Mo Xiaoxiao walked up to the man and coughed twice. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, there's so much blood. Princess, please move this way. Don't let it get on your shoes. It's dirty."
Man: ...That's my blood! You think it's dirty!
However, these are not what he cares about now. After hearing Mo Xiaoxiao's reaction, the man felt even more dizzy.
I just felt my wrists were numb and painful, and my head was getting more and more dizzy. This was obviously a sign of impending death!
"Princess! It's my fault. Please let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother to take care of. I took this job because I had no other choice."
The man was crying and snotting.
"That person said that as long as I do things according to the plan, he will reward me with a lot of money when it is completed. Then I can take my old mother and run away! You have to believe me, I have no choice!"
Mo Qi snorted, "You can't do anything? Who would believe that?"
"Just for some silver, you sneaked into the general's mansion. Tell me, what are your plans?"
The man shook his head. "Princess, are you there? I...if I tell you the truth, will you spare my life?"
"I really don't want to die!"
Judging from the rate of bleeding, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Jiang Li put down the teacup and said, "Tell me, if you really tell the truth, I can consider giving you a way out, but..."
Jiang Li's tone turned cold, "I'm not a good-tempered person. If you dare to tell a lie, you know the consequences."
With Jiang Li's words, the man no longer dared to play dumb.
Worried that I might get lost in the middle of my speech, I immediately sorted out the key points in my mind.
The man said that he had been in the Wuxiang Sect for only a short time. He used to be a bandit, but later the imperial court suppressed him severely and he did not dare to openly oppose the government. There was no movement in the mountain stronghold, so naturally there was little food and drink, and everyone soon couldn't hold on.
After coming down the mountain, by chance, I joined the Wuxiang Sect. At least I had food to eat. As for doing bad things, being a bandit didn't do anything good anyway, so I didn't think it was a big deal.
This time he was arranged to sneak into the general's mansion because he had been hanging around the capital since he was a child and was familiar with the place.
"Is the lady who delivered the food today your mother?"
Jiang Li suddenly asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "My mother didn't grow those vegetables. They were given to me by someone from the Wuxiang Sect. She sent them here."
Originally, the plan was flawless. He just had to wait for everyone to eat the poisonous vegetables and pass out, and then he would give the signal.
In this way, those who were waiting outside the general's mansion could take the opportunity to rush in.
"You mean your accomplices are all outside right now?"
Mo Xiaoxiao grasped the key point.
Wow, there is indeed a backup plan.
The man stammered, "According to the plan, that's what happened."
"but……"
Mo Xiaoxiao slapped the man on the head, "But what? What else are you hiding from us?"
The man was slapped unexpectedly and shuddered with fear, "Lady, spare me, how dare I!"
"I swear, I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. I just thought that it's been so long, and they didn't wait for my signal, so they might be gone."
Mo Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Long?"
It will take at most an incense stick of time to catch this guy.
The man was blindfolded the whole time and was worried about his blood being drained, so he felt that every day was a year.
"If you hadn't been caught, how were you going to contact them?"
Jiang Li remembered something and calculated the time. It was almost time.
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Since the person has come to your door, you might as well lead him into the trap directly to avoid any more trouble.
The man was about to cry, "That's it..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Qi reached out and fumbled around in his arms, pulling out something that looked like a tinderbox. "Is this it?"
Although the man couldn't see clearly, he could feel that his things were taken away, "It should be..."
After saying that, he started to howl again: "Princess, I have confessed everything, please let me go! I don't want to die yet!"
Jiang Li knew everything he needed to know, and he was too lazy to waste any more time here. He waved to Mo Xiaoxiao and stood up to leave the room.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Don't worry, Princess. I'll take care of the rest!"
After saying that, Mo Xiaoxiao laughed, "Hehe," "You bastard, with this little ability, you dare to come to the General's Mansion and embarrass yourself."
The man sobbed, "Lady, aunt, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go, my life is worthless."
Mo Xiaoxiao hummed, "Your life is worthless, but how to deal with you is the business of the Dali Temple, and I am just an ordinary prisoner transporter."
After saying that, Mo Xiaoxiao pushed the man's chair back, carried it, and walked out.
The man half-reclined in his chair, screaming in fear, "Auntie, even if you have to send me to the Dali Temple, you have to treat my injuries first. I'm almost bleeding out!"
Mo Xiaoxiao glanced at the man and spat, "Shut up!"
After saying that, he pulled down the bandage covering the man's eyes and said, "See for yourself, you won't die!"
The man finally regained his sight and immediately looked at the place where he was injured. There was nothing but a red mark on his wrist, not even a cut.
"But...it's not...my...blood..."
Mo Xiaoxiao turned the back of the chair, and a bucket appeared in the man's field of vision. "See? That's water flowing, not blood!"
