"for example?"
"His entire village, including more than a dozen people in his family, were all killed on Qin Yong's orders."
Duan Qingxi's eyes widened in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me this?!"
Helian Sheng glanced at her and said, "What's the point of telling you? If you were to say something like this, it wouldn't be credible."
Duan Qingxi: ...Why does she feel that she is being despised?
In the following days, the village chief treated Helian Sheng very well, just like his own son.
Duan Qingxi finally realized that Helian Sheng had not told him everything, but had been keeping him in suspense.
The village chief seemed to be very patient. He used to love eating, drinking and having fun, but now he came to Helian Sheng almost every day.
Helian Sheng probably felt that his behavior was too conspicuous, so he told him not to come.
The village chief didn't come, but he sent his confidants to check on it from time to time, and any good things would be delivered here as soon as possible.
Seeing that the room was almost full of things, Duan Qingxi looked at Helian Sheng and said, "I didn't expect this village chief to be such a loyal and righteous person. His wife and children have been dead for so many years, and he would go to such lengths to get to the truth."
Most people, if they wanted to know, would just take out a big knife to scare them, but unexpectedly, the village chief treated them with courtesy.
Helian Sheng then asked, "If not, why do you think the Imperial Master asked us two to come?"
The imperial court has plenty of people who can deal with these bandits. Just pick any one of them and take them all away in a short time.
However, most of these bandits were forced here by Qin Yong, such as the victims of this flood.
People like the village chief and the second and third in command actually go up the mountain to do such things because they are desperate.
Although they rob, they rarely kill. As long as they are sensible enough to leave their belongings behind, they will generally leave them alive so that they can escape.
Furthermore, the village chief and the second and third in command are not simple characters. It takes a lot of time and energy to deal with them. If they join forces with Qin Yong, Helian Sheng will also find it difficult. It is better to take advantage of their own tactics and try to sow discord.
Anyway, Qin Yong must pay for the sins he committed.
Helian Sheng's health has almost recovered, and he mainly acts for others to see.
So after making sure that the village chief would not become suspicious of them and even want to drive them out of the mountain, Helian Sheng took the antidote.
When Duan Qingxi accompanied Helian Sheng out of the house for the first time, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
These people were probably very curious about what the person who could make their village chief treat him with such courtesy looked like.
Unfortunately, Helian Sheng wears a mask wherever he goes, which makes people feel disappointed.
In order to celebrate Helian Sheng's recovery, the village chief specially held a bonfire party.
Everyone gathered together to eat meat and drink wine. A large group of men were crowded together, and the smell of sweat made Duan Qingxi a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Helian Sheng was sitting next to him.
The second and third in command seemed very dissatisfied with this, but since this was the decision of the village chief, they could not say anything. They just kept a stern face and drank in a bad mood.
Seeing this, the fourth in command sneered, as if he felt that as long as the second and third in command were unhappy, he would be happy.
So, he tried his best to please Helian Sheng, causing the other brothers to also welcome Helian Sheng.
Seeing this, the second in command was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
After a round of drinking, the village chief suddenly stood up and announced to everyone, "Brother Dongfang has been recuperating with us all this time, and I haven't told you his identity. Now, let me introduce him in detail."
