"You're not even blushing..." The group of people watching in the dark room all felt embarrassed for Ye Lang, but he still expressed that he was very comfortable, very happy, and very happy! "Very good, you are all good citizens, you should all know each other, right?" Ye Lang asked. "We don't know each other, we have never met before!" The thirteen people immediately shook their heads in denial. "Bang!" Ye Lang slammed the gavel, startling everyone.
"You still dare to quibble! If you didn't know each other, how could you be arrested together? And why are you flattering each other together? It's obvious that you are in cahoots!" Ye Lang insisted on saying that these people knew each other. He was now making false accusations. "You are plotting rebellion and deserve the death penalty!"
"Unjust! This is absolutely untrue. How dare we do that?" The thirteen people were shocked. It seemed that this time, the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family was not a savior, but a scourge. We were doomed! At this moment, if someone were careful, they would have noticed that a few of them seemed to have a strange look on their faces. "Look at you, it's written on your foreheads, 'I dare, I am a traitor!'" "The case is clear, drag them out and chop them up!" Ye Lang said casually. "..." This kid, if he does this, what's the point? The emperor and others wanted to stop him, but Jie Ding had grown to this level, and it was difficult for them to intervene. "Thirteenth Young Master, you are taking human life lightly. We are not from the Soaring Sky Empire. Even if we want to rebel, we won't do it here!" One of them said anxiously.
"Oh, so, so you're rebelling in your own country. That's none of our business. But didn't you just say you didn't know each other? How do you know they're not from the Soaring Sky Empire?" Ye Lang smiled at the man. "This is... "We just met here," the other man lied. "Well, we do know each other. How dare you lie to me? Now I represent the Emperor. Deceiving the Emperor is a capital crime. You're still guilty!" Ye Lang said with a smile. "If you don't want to die, tell me the truth. I don't have time to play with you!" Ye Lang snapped his fingers, looking relaxed. "What do you want us to say?" "Simple. Tell us why you're here. You're so many people from different countries, gathered here, you can't just come here for fun!" Ye Lang said. "I don't know what you're talking about. In this Soaring Sky Imperial City, there are easily 1,800 foreigners like us," the man said.
"Yes, they can be found. But it's rare to find someone as resolute as you! You haven't revealed your identities, but you've forgotten that if ordinary people were caught and tortured like this, they wouldn't admit it, even if they were accused of treason!" Ye Lang said, looking at them. "One person might be a coincidence, but thirteen of them are like this, it's definitely not a coincidence!"
"Alright, we all know you're spies, but being a spy isn't punishable by death, so I'm going to see how many of our secrets you know. If it's too much, then I'm sorry, you must stay!" Ye Lang said calmly. "We know nothing. Even if you keep asking, it's the same!" someone said. "Oh, really? Then I'll ask you a question. What's one plus one equals?" Ye Lang asked with a smile. "..." At this point, everyone was stunned for a moment, confused by Ye Lang's question. Was it a test, a way to lower their guard? "You don't even know that?" Ye Lang's face fell slightly. "I don't know..." The man was extremely cautious, a bit too much, but at this moment, he believed that even if Ye Lang asked him whether he was a man or a woman, he couldn't answer. Otherwise, who knew what Ye Lang would do! Ye Lang looked at the man and said bluntly, "You don't even know that? You're the Young Master of Situ! Someone, take him out and chop him up!" "..." The whole audience was stunned again.
At this point, the emperor and the others understood that Ye Lang was making up excuses, albeit poor ones, as long as they achieved their goal. So, they hinted at their understanding. But those people, on the other hand, didn't understand. They just chopped him off like that. Wasn't that a disregard for human life? "What are you still standing there for? Take him out and chop him off. Bring back his head and show them. You think I'm joking!" Ye Lang snapped his fingers and said sarcastically.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the guards dragged the innocent man away who was shouting for help. Then the voices suddenly stopped, and the guards came back with the man's head. Ye Lang didn't even bother to look at it, perhaps because he couldn't bear it, or perhaps because he didn't need it!
When the truth was revealed, the remaining twelve began to fear. They had previously thought Ye Lang was joking; they had never heard of someone so disregarding human life. "Now, I'm asking you again, what are you doing here? This is your last chance, and I won't ask again!" Ye Lang said.
"We..." Some of those people hesitated.
"We won't tell you, so just give up!" There are still some people who are not afraid of death. They have received special training.
"Oh, then let's go back to the question just now. You answer it, what is one plus one equal to?" Ye Lang said to the man with a smile.
"It's equal to two. Don't ask such childish questions." The man said arrogantly.
"You know much more! Come and chop him down too!" Ye Lang waved his hand.
"One one one one one" is quiet again one one one one one one
Damn, is this considered knowing too much? Who doesn't know the answer to this riddle...
"Hmph..." The man snorted coldly, acting in a cold and arrogant manner.
"Well, don't bring his head back, and take away the previous one as well. It's too disgusting." Ye Lang added.
"Do you... know what one plus one equals?" Ye Lang asked with a smile.
"Ah..." Some people started scratching their heads and going crazy. Now they estimated that Ye Lang's smiling face and direct questions would make them crazy. Speaking of these people, the people in the dark room now did not want to hear Ye Lang ask this question!
"I said, I said, I received an order to come here, but I was just asked to observe. The superiors said that someone would tell me what to do, and the one who saw this mark would be that person." One person began to confess, but there was not much useful value in his words.
"What about you?" Ye Lang continued.
"Same with us!" some people said.
"Hmph, you cowards, are you worthy of being role models?" Several people said proudly.
"Very good. I admire your integrity. You can go now!" Ye Lang said to the proud and unyielding people, and unexpectedly let them go. "You're letting us go?" they asked blankly. "Well, go now! Don't make me change my mind!" Ye Lang frowned, as if making a difficult decision.
Without a word, the few people left. Everyone knew that the Thirteenth Young Master was not normal. As long as he could save his own life, there was no need to delve into the reasons, otherwise it would lead to his own disintegration. "What about us?" asked those who had already compromised.
"Since you acknowledge yourselves as exemplary spies, I naturally cannot let you go like this. The treatment in our empire's prisons is not bad. You can rest assured in there for the rest of your lives!" Ye Lang said, and then he imprisoned these people. "Ah..." No one knew what Ye Lang was doing. It was completely unconventional. He released those who should be imprisoned, and then imprisoned those who should be released! "Alright, take them all away!" Ye Lang knocked on the table, ordering the guards to take those poor exemplary spies away. He was the only one left in the outer hall. And at this time, he did not leave, just leaning back in his chair.
What is this kid doing? Why is he staying here? "Originally, the emperor and others wanted to leave, and the matter was considered completed at this point, but now they found that Ye Lang's behavior was very strange.
Based on their understanding of Ye Lang, after finishing his work, Ye Lang would definitely be the first to leave. He would never stay here, unless this matter was not over yet! Not over yet?!
That’s right, it’s not over yet. Soon the guards outside came in with two people, letting everyone know that things were not over yet!
The two people in the distance were not those unyielding and proud people, but people who should have died. Theoretically, they had already been beheaded, especially the one in the middle. Everyone had seen his head. These two people were the ones Ye Lang had just dragged out and chopped off!
"How could this happen? I saw that man's head clearly. It was his. How could it be intact now?" The emperor and the others were puzzled. The head that had just been hit was not blurred out, and he had even specifically asked everyone to take a closer look. "Lock them both in solitary cells and absolutely do not allow anyone to come in contact with them!" Ye Lang said. "Alas, I still can't bear to kill them. Let others deal with you!"
Ye Lang felt, to the end, that even if he went through the motions, killing someone wouldn't make him feel good. He used some clever tricks to make it appear as if he had killed the two men, thus achieving his goal. Of course, he also requested some secret royal guards beforehand, letting them do their bidding. "This kid must have used some alchemical trick to create a fake head, but the result is truly convincing!" Ye Chengtian said with a smile, brimming with pride. "Yes, that must be it!" everyone agreed.
Everyone should have thought it was over by this time, but they discovered that Ye Lang had another more exciting and surprising act in store.
After the two men were taken away, a while later, the guards brought one of them back. This person seemed to be the first one to object, and the second one Ye Lang dragged out to "chop."
