Father Xu coughed and said unhappily, "Youyouyouyou, look at you, your mouth is full of youyou, no wonder Xu Jinhuan didn't recognize you!"
After saying that, he glared at Xu Youyou. There was no more kindness in his eyes, only disgust.
Xu's mother snorted coldly, "Our eldest brother didn't say anything about the second brother, so what did you do? It's too late to say these things now!"
Xu Jinhuan, who was walking in front, moved his ears and heard clearly the complaints of the Xu family's psychopaths.
What Xu's mother said was not wrong. It's too late now...
Just as the group was trying hard to climb the mountain, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.
"Ah, someone's running away!"
The officers were dispersed among the crowd early in the morning, and were also ordered by Xie Datou not to let anyone escape.
So, as soon as the officers heard someone shouting, they jumped up and caught the escaped person.
"I didn't put the shackles on you because you still had to climb the mountain. Since you are so ungrateful, climb the mountain with the shackles on."
After the officer Wang Manshan finished speaking, he was about to take a wooden shackle and put it on the escaping man, but a woman suddenly ran out and grabbed his legs.
"My Lord, he knows he is wrong. This mountain is so steep and the rain is getting heavier. He really can't climb the mountain with the shackles on!"
The woman cried and shouted, still pulling the man's trousers, "Quick, kneel down and beg for mercy from the master!"
Unexpectedly, the man curled his lips in disdain and said loudly, "Who would kneel down and beg for mercy from people like them? We helped them fight the bandits, but they didn't even say thank you.
They even cross the river and demolish the bridge. They make us climb the mountain in the heavy rain. Isn't this sending us to our deaths? What do you think? "
After the man finished speaking, he looked at the crowd with great pride, as if he felt that he was a hero who saved everyone from the fire.
All the people who were inexplicably called lowered their heads, pretending not to hear what he asked, and no one responded to him.
Ever since the man started talking, Xu Jinhuan had been observing the expressions of the people present, and she really noticed that something was not right with a few of them.
Moreover, if she had not been using her mental power to sense the emotions of the people around her while observing, she would have really been deceived by that person.
Is there any hidden agent here?
Xu Jinhuan fell into deep thought...
"I really don't know how someone like you became an official. You think you're a hero even when you're used as a knife by others.
Don't want to climb the mountain, and don't want to wear shackles? Fine, I'll satisfy you, and send you to see the King of Hell right now, so you don't have to complain here anymore."
After the officer Wang Manshan finished speaking, he gave the fleeing man a cold look.
If the boss hadn't said that what they had done before might have gone a little too far and that they needed to change the impression in front of Boss Xu, he would never have spoken in such a nice tone.
After all, the imperial court allowed officials to directly execute those who wanted to escape.
Now this person is even trying to sow discord between the officers and the exiles. Isn't that just trying to sow discord between them and Boss Xu? !
I'm really tired of living.
Since he wanted to commit suicide, he didn't mind giving this guy a hand!
Thinking of this, Wang Manshan grasped the hilt of the knife and pulled the long knife out of the scabbard.
The cold blade was placed on the man's neck. He shivered, not sure if it was because of the fear or the coldness.
The woman who had begged for help before immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded in a low voice.
"Sir, please spare him. He has lost his mind when he is flattered. He really didn't mean to do that.
He is the only pillar of the family, the young children need a father, and the elderly mother-in-law needs a son, please help, sir."
Wang Manshan paused and looked at the woman's back, as if he had thought of something, but soon his expression turned cold again.
"He himself has no responsibilities as a son or a father. He does whatever others tell him to do. Can he use the same words to shirk responsibility after killing someone?"
The woman was stumped by Wang Manshan's words. Her hands that were grabbing her trouser legs slowly slipped down, and she didn't know how to refute.
The man seemed to be irritated by these words and he shouted loudly.
"Everyone has the responsibility of being a father or a son. I don't want my family to suffer this because I have a sense of responsibility!"
Wang Manshan snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "So, you, who are so responsible, chose to run away alone, leaving behind your elderly mother, wife and children?"
The man wanted to retort but was interrupted by Xie Datou who was walking over.
"What's going on? It hasn't been resolved yet?"
Wang Manshan immediately replied, "Boss, this guy not only ran away, but also wanted to stir up trouble. I heard from his wife that someone instigated it. I was just planning to ask him who was behind it."
Upon hearing this, Xie Datou looked at the man carefully for a while. His murderous face made the other person break out in a cold sweat even in the cold weather.
"Tell me, who is behind you?"
Xu Jinhuan also wanted to hear his answer to see if it matched the one he had just observed.
Unexpectedly, the man snorted coldly and suddenly started to act arrogantly.
"If you ask me to speak, I will speak. Who am I then? I, Xiang Linsheng, have never been a person who betrays my brothers!"
Xu Jinhuan's face was filled with black lines. Could this guy have bought his position? He was so insensitive that he had no sense of crisis at all.
In other words, is there anything else he can rely on?
Xu Jinhuan decided to give it a try. She coughed lightly and gave a wink to her loyal younger brother Xie Datou.
Xie Datou is not Wang Manshan. Even in the heavy rain, he understood his master's thoughts at the first time and tried his best to complete the task.
Xie Datou held the hilt of the knife and pulled out the long knife with a "swish". Without blinking, he swung it directly towards Xiang Linsheng who was standing next to him, cutting off one of his fingers.
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I will chop off your fingers one by one. If your fingers are gone, I will chop off your palms. If your palms are gone, I will chop off your arms."
After saying that, Xie Datou was about to swing his knife at Xiang Linsheng.
Xiang Lin screamed in pain, and at this moment he no longer cared about his brother's promise, and shouted: "Say it, I say, stop chopping!"
Xie Datou did not put the knife back into the sheath. He just looked at Xiang Linsheng, waiting for his answer.
"It was Wu Changhai, Jing Jiaxin, and Lin Liming. They asked me to test the bottom line of the officers."
After Xiang Linsheng finished saying the names of these people, Xie Datou waved his hand, and the officers quickly ran into the crowd and pulled these people out.
Xie Datou then frowned and continued to ask: "That's all? No one else?"
Xiang Linsheng immediately nodded heavily, his face full of sincerity, "Really, that's all, I have confessed everything I know, please let me go, sir."
Xiang Linsheng watched Xie Datou slowly put away the knife and felt a little relieved. But before he could completely calm down, he heard a clear female voice.
"Big Head, keep chopping."
Everyone looked at Xu Jinhuan in surprise. They obviously didn't understand why Xiang Linsheng was still chopping when he was telling the truth. Wasn't this a bit too cruel?
We are all exiled, why doesn't Miss Xu help her own people?
