Chapter 0094: Comeback
There were five people digging the grave, two couples and a man who was missing an arm.
This man was also a member of the Zhenbei Army in his early years. Later, he became disabled and returned to civilian life. When Xiao Rong came in front of these people, he knew what was going on just by taking a quick look at them.
Disease and poverty have always been the breeding grounds of superstition. Because one's heart is not strong enough, one will be crazy enough to believe that something he has never seen can save him.
They looked pretty miserable and no one knew how they had gotten through the past ten days. However, there was one thing Xiao Rong was certain of now: they had been running for their lives on their own for the past ten days. The Qingfeng Sect had not made any arrangements for their escape and had abandoned them after squeezing out all their usefulness.
Xiao Rong pursed his lips. This was not a good sign. They neither helped them escape nor killed them to silence them. This only showed that there was nothing about these people that was worthy of Qingfeng Sect's worry. In other words, it was unlikely that Xiao Rong would be able to find out who the real mastermind was by following these people.
Having said that, Xiao Rong still didn't give up. He waved his hand, signaling that all of them should be taken to the interrogation place.
Xiao Rong did not leave immediately, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he turned around to follow, but when he turned around, he first noticed something strange behind him.
Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie in astonishment: "Who asked you to come out?"
Qu Yunmie immediately pointed at Jian Qiao beside him: "Him."
Jian Qiao: “…”
Xiao Rong: “…”
Looking at the two men, Xiao Rong said speechlessly, "Forget it, since they are all out, why don't you come over and listen, Your Majesty."
As soon as Qu Yunmie heard him say so, he immediately walked to his side. They walked forward side by side. During this time, Qu Yunmie whispered to Xiao Rong, "My strength has almost recovered."
Xiao Rong lazily answered him: "No, these people are still useful, I can't let you kill them."
Qu Yunmie: “…”Okay.
The two of them walked forward slowly, not because Xiao Rong was taking care of Qu Yunmie, but because Qu Yunmie was taking care of Xiao Rong. He was the one interrogating them, and if he was not there, no one would dare to attack those people. Xiao Rong deliberately walked so slowly just to torture them psychologically.
The two of them were walking like they were taking a walk. Jian Qiaozhu was about ten feet away from them, following them slowly. Behind Jian Qiao were Yuan Baifu and Gongsun Yuan.
Although Jian Qiao also sent people out, it was Yuan Baifu who actually captured these people.
In the past, he would also complete the tasks on time, but he would not be as proactive as he was this time. He would only do something personally when Qu Yunmie asked him to leave.
Yuan Baifu was Gongsun Yuan's friend. Today, Gongsun Yuan finally stopped turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He bumped Yuan Baifu's shoulder with his and praised him happily, "Great! You actually caught the man. This is a great achievement!"
Yuan Baifu hummed indifferently.
Gongsun Yuan looked at him in confusion: "Why is this your reaction after you've done something great? Don't you want to do something great?"
Yuan Baifu smiled at him and said, "When did you become so long-winded? Let's go and take a look."
Gongsun Yuan said, "Oh!" The people in front of him were almost gone, so he had to walk a few steps faster. …………
In the interrogation tent, the three unlucky guys had been dragged out, and the two who were more cooperative were now locked up in another place, fed with two bland meals a day. The only thing they had to do was to ensure that they didn't die. As for what would happen to them in the future, they would have to wait until this matter was settled.
As for the man who refused to sell out his family, Xiao Rong had no way to deal with him. When Jian Qiao came to ask Xiao Rong what to do, Qu Yunmie had already sentenced this man to death before Xiao Rong could even open his mouth.
"Just kill him. Do I need to teach you this?"
So that man had died two days ago, but these people didn't know that. When they were brought in, they probably couldn't even remember what their family members looked like. They looked at the bloodstains on the floor, and their expressions gradually changed.
Jian Qiao knew that Xiao Rong was soft-hearted, so he took the initiative to ask Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong to let him interrogate these people first.
Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong, who didn't say anything, so Qu Yunmie nodded to Jian Qiao.
The so-called interrogation was actually torture. When the screams rang out, Xiao Rong looked up at the top of the tent. He suddenly realized that even the interrogation tent was much larger than his own tent. …
Everyone else remained expressionless, but Xiao Rong kept looking elsewhere. Qu Yunmie wanted him to go out for a while, but then he thought that Xiao Rong probably wouldn't agree. He might even stay here longer to prove that he was not afraid. In the end, Qu Yunmie said nothing.
Half an incense stick of time passed, Xiao Rong raised his hand, and Jian Qiao immediately ordered the soldiers to stop fighting. In between crying and wailing, Xiao Rong sighed deeply.
Afterwards, his helpless voice rang out from the tent: "I don't expect you to tell me who planned this. To be honest, I don't care. It's just the Qingfeng Sect. It's difficult to get rid of the Qingfeng Sect, but it's not impossible. When the leader and elders of the Qingfeng Sect are all caught, no matter who came up with this vicious plan, he's dead anyway, and I don't have to think about him all the time."
Qu Yunmie turned his head and looked at Xiao Rong, who showed an expression full of pity towards these people.
"You have lived a hard life, fallen, been injured, survived premature death, survived heavy snow, and even survived war, but in the end you still have to die miserably, all because you are too stupid. For a vague doctrine, you even threw away your own conscience."
His voice was not loud, but it felt like a knife, cutting fiercely on the faces of these people. After he said this, one of the women suddenly burst into tears. She kept begging for mercy, saying that she had no idea what the other party wanted to do with the corpse. She didn't know that the other party wanted to humiliate the parents of King Zhenbei. She really didn't know.
Jian Qiao started to get angry again. He wanted to kick the man, but before he could do anything, Qu Yunmie asked, "What did you think they were going to do?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Qu Yunmie, who had not spoken a word since he came in. However, Qu Yunmie just looked at those being tortured calmly, which scared them so much that they dared not say a word.
Qu Yunmie: "Tell me, what do you think they wanted to do with my parents' remains? If it wasn't to humiliate them, then what do you think it was for?"
The woman opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out. She looked at Qu Yunmie in fear, but Qu Yunmie had run out of patience.
Qu Yunmie suddenly reached out and took away an oil lamp placed at the door. He threw the oil lamp out so hard that the oil naturally spilled halfway, and the oil lamp hit the woman's face accurately. The scorching temperature burned her eyes, causing her to scream miserably.
Qu Yunmie's furious voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Speak!!!"
Xiao Rong lowered his head and frowned, but he did not interfere with Qu Yunmie.
