Su Ruojin got out of bed, looked at Zhou Renjiang who was clutching his arm and whose eyes were full of terror, and sneered:
"Steward Zhou, is that right? I advise you not to even think about running away. In the entire Great Chu, no one but me can cure the poison you've been afflicted with. If you don't want to die, just behave yourself. Maybe I'll cure you if I'm in a good mood."
Zhou Renjiang nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll ask you one question now. Nod if it's yes, shake your head if it's no. If you answer well, I might consider letting you speak first, how about that?"
Zhou Renjiang nodded vigorously again.
"Did you capture all the girls in the dark room?"
Zhou Renjiang's pupils contracted slightly.
How did she know about the darkroom?!
Seeing that Zhou Renjiang neither nodded nor shook his head, Su Ruojin was not in a hurry and slowly said:
"You don't have to answer. When the poison on your arm turns completely black, that will be your death day. Are you starting to feel tightness in your chest and shortness of breath?"
Upon hearing Su Ruojin's words, Zhou Renjiang instantly felt breathless, and his face began to turn bright red.
"I'll ask you one more time, was the girl in the dark room someone you kidnapped?"
This time, Zhou Renjiang nodded without hesitation.
"Did you kill them all?"
Zhou Renjiang continued to nod. Since he had already admitted to it, admitting to one more thing wouldn't make a difference.
A cold glint flashed in Su Ruojin's eyes, and her tone grew even colder.
"Was an old woman brought to the village a couple of days ago?"
Upon hearing Su Ruojin's question, Zhou Renjiang's eyes darted away, and he involuntarily lowered his head, offering no further response.
Su Ruojin sneered: "I didn't realize you were so protective of your master. I wonder if your master will be moved if he knows you died for him. You only have half a cup of tea's time left."
Zhou Renjiang's body began to tremble. Looking at his increasingly dark arm, he finally raised his head and nodded.
Is the person still in the village?
Having learned from the previous introduction, Zhou Renjiang nodded without further hesitation.
Su Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good to be in the village.
"I'm letting you speak now. Tell me where she is. If you dare to play any tricks, let's see who's faster!"
Zhou Renjiang nodded again.
Su Ruojin put a pill in his mouth. After Zhou Renjiang swallowed it, he tried it and found that he could really speak.
He wanted to call for help, but didn't dare, so he could only lower his voice and ask, "Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am is not important. Just tell me why you arrested her and where she is being held now?"
Zhou Renjiang remained silent.
Su Ruojin smiled faintly, "I believe that even if you capture her, you won't kill her anytime soon. Since I've managed to get into the manor, whether you tell me or not, I'll find a way to find the old lady; it's just a matter of time."
What I just gave you was a poison that would cause you to itch at first, then feel as if countless ants and insects were tearing at you, and finally your internal organs would slowly rot and you would die. I don't care if you want to experience this.
By the way, this "Hundred Poisons Powder" contains not only poison but also tonic ingredients, guaranteeing that you won't die even if you don't eat or drink for five days, allowing you to slowly savor its effects.
After hearing Su Ruojin's words, Zhou Renjiang began to feel itchy all over.
The itch wasn't the usual skin itch from mosquito bites, but an itch that seeped from deep within his bones, as if thousands of mosquitoes were crawling inside his body, and large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
