Chapter 29 Finding out what happened back then
Wei Qingyan looked at Yan Lan.
Yan Lan's blood-stained hands were shaking uncontrollably, and she was in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
It was her first time killing someone.
And killed so many.
But are they human?
They are not human, they have committed many evil things, they are worse than beasts... They... destroyed her!
The trembling hand was held, "Yan Lan, you used these hands to avenge yourself. In the future, these hands will also protect you and keep you alive."
future?
Yes, she is still alive, and she has a future, which may be full of thorns and extremely difficult.
But, compared to her relatives who died in the war, she is at least still alive.
In the face of life and death, what do those experiences and reputations matter?
When she decided to go up the mountain without wearing a veil, she was prepared to face all of this. She shouldn't have been cowardly.
But when Wei Qingyan's hand patted her back, she couldn't help but hug her tightly, tears rolling down her face.
Jingzhe and other guards found the wine cellar, poured wine on the tables, chairs and corpses, and finally raised the torch in front of Yan Lan, "Burn this place."
Burn it all and don’t think about the past anymore.
Jingzhe is not good at speaking, but Yan Lan can see the comfort and encouragement in his eyes.
She wiped her tears, took the torch and set several corpses on fire. She wanted to burn all the shame and humiliation here.
Miss Chang and her companions had no relatives or friends with her, yet they accompanied her on this trip. She encountered misfortune and viciousness, but also warmth and kindness.
These kindnesses are enough for her to be reborn from the ashes!
In the firelight, her back gradually straightened...
When the entire village was on fire, the group went down the mountain.
Arriving at the place where they had rested before, Wei Qingyan said to Yan Lan and the guards, "You go back first. I will catch up with you by noon tomorrow at the latest."
Shi Yu also said to Jingzhe, "You go with them."
Yan Lan also heard what Jingzhe just said and guessed that Wei Qingyan was going to kill the county magistrate.
From her experience at the mountain village, she had already personally experienced Miss Chang's skills. With her current physical and mental state, if she went with her, she would only be a burden, so she nodded.
Jingzhe did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to give the torch to Shi Yu and follow Yan Lan and the others.
He wasn't that worried. With the skills of the prince and General Wei, it wouldn't be difficult for them to sneak into the county government office and kill a small county magistrate.
As Jingzhe expected, Wei Qingyan and the other man easily stood in front of the bed of Wu Xinyuan, the magistrate of Yu County.
The coldness of the dagger awakened the sleeping man.
Wu Xinyuan's expression changed drastically. "Who are you? How dare you attack me?"
Wei Qingyan said calmly, "The one who wants to kill you."
Then he pressed Wu Xinyuan's mute point with one hand and stabbed the dagger into Wu Xinyuan's thigh with the other hand.
"As the chief official of Yu County, you colluded with bandits, oppressed the people, and committed all kinds of evil. How do you want to die?"
Wu Xinyuan's face turned pale and he shook his head desperately.
He doesn't want to die.
Wei Qingyan swung the dagger and untied his acupoints. "Why did Wu Yuchu transfer you to Yu County? What did you do for him?"
When she saw the bandits' obsession in the capital, she asked Du Xueyi to investigate Wu Xinyuan, the county magistrate of the county where Hubaoling was located.
Upon checking, it was found that he was transferred from Ganzhou two years ago.
They all have the surname Wu and are from Ganzhou.
In terms of time, Wu Yuchu was transferred back to the capital for half a year, and Wu Xinyuan was also transferred to Yu County, not far from the capital.
What a coincidence.
The dagger was turning in the flesh, and Wu Xinyuan wanted to scream in pain, but Shi Yu put the soft sword in his hand on his neck.
He gasped for breath, the dagger in his thigh still moving, as if to grind his flesh into mud. He could only say, "I will do whatever the master tells me to do, mainly to make money."
"Think carefully about what you did for him three years ago. I have little patience, but it will only take a moment to torture you."
After saying that, he raised the hand holding the dagger, and Wu Xinyuan's left ear flew out. The pain made him instinctively open his mouth and scream, but Shi Yu held him mute again.
The inability to express his emotions made the pain double, and beads of sweat the size of beans poured down Wu Xinyuan's forehead.
He suddenly thought of Wu Yuchu who was assassinated. Was he also killed by the person in front of him?
Realizing that the person in front of him would really kill him, he moved his mouth.
Shi Yu tapped his sword lightly, and the acupuncture points were released. He took a few quick breaths and said, "Three...three years ago, I was a county magistrate in Ganzhou. The master also asked me to secretly recruit a group of people to act as bandits and intercept passing merchants..."
"Think about it again." The right ear also flew out, and the dagger was directly stuck across Wu Xinyuan's lips, cutting the corners of his mouth on both sides.
Wei Qingyan had a sinister look on his face.
As the Minister of War, Wu Yuchu had no shortage of people under his command, but he transferred Wu Xinyuan to a place closer to him after half a year.
In addition to using him, it is more like keeping him under my nose for peace of mind.
During the time when they were transferred from Ganzhou, the major event that happened was the Battle of Huangshaling, and Yan Qing went to Ganzhou to mobilize troops.
The dagger was moving forward little by little. Wu Xinyuan's eyes popped out with fear and he truly felt death.
"Tell me, tell me... three years ago, my lord asked me to receive General Wei's guards, and I... I was ordered to drug their food."
The dagger did not move forward, but it did not move away. Wu Xinyuan understood that this was what the visitor wanted to hear.
I had to continue, “Those people were too alert and noticed it after taking a bite, but they were caught off guard. I sprinkled powder on the door frame and windowsill.
During the fight, our men shook the doorframes and windowsills, and the powder was blown into the air and inhaled, and they would also be affected..."
Wei Qingyan gritted his teeth and said, "Continue."
"Only... only... two escaped. We chased them out of Ganzhou and killed one of them on the way. The other... the other one... we didn't find...
But he was seriously injured and would not survive. My Lord was afraid of being discovered, so he asked us to return. Please spare my life, hero. I was only following orders."
"Why kill them?"
Wu Xinyuan felt the murderous intent in Wei Qingyan's eyes, and his mind shuddered. He hurriedly said, "My lord, you didn't say anything. If you spare my life, I will find out the reason for you. From now on, I will obey you."
"Puff..." The sound of a sword entering the flesh.
Shi Yu stabbed the software in his hand into Wu Xinyuan's back and asked coldly, "Why kill them?"
He had roughly guessed the reason from the conversation between the two.
I was shocked and angry at the same time.
Wu Xinyuan's life was already half gone. He gambled that if he spoke, he might lose his life immediately. If he didn't speak, perhaps his life would be saved for the time being and he would have a chance to survive.
But he overestimated himself. When he drew out the soft sword, the sword light flashed, and a piercing pain came from his back, and a piece of flesh fell in front of him.
His flesh!
Just as he was about to faint, the dagger across his mouth began to exert force again, leaving gashes at both corners of his mouth, and blood flowed out. For the first time, Wu Xinyuan experienced what it meant to be worse than death. "Since the Lord is unwilling to mobilize troops, we can only erase the traces of their coming to Ganzhou to mobilize troops..."
Wei Qingyan certainly knew the reason, but that was not the answer she wanted, so she used force on the dagger again.
"How does he know that someone will come to mobilize troops?" The question was asked by Shi Yu.
