Chapter 57: Don't get your hopes up
If you think about it from this perspective... Perhaps, these so-called green forest heroes can win a wave of people's hearts.
Gathering wealth and encapturing the hearts of the people is simply a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!
But then again...
What did the people of the Xue family do when they arranged a nest of mountain bandits to win the hearts of the people? The looted wealth can still be used, but the hearts of the people who have won it cannot be.
If he reveals his identity, he may be disgusted by the common people...
Estimating that Chi Xinian thought of the key, Yan Chujing simply followed her thoughts and said, "We confirmed the true identity of this nest of mountain bandits through some of the items they looted.
"At the same time, we also want to know why they pretend to be heroes in the green forest to entrap the people in that area.
"No, in order to get him to speak, we've used all the tricks we can use."
What Chi Xinian couldn't figure out was also the key to what Yan Chujing wanted to know.
Glancing at the dying man lightly, Yan Chujing continued: "But even if we tortured him like this, he bit him to death and didn't want to say a word." I came to see him today to see if I could pry something out of his mouth before he was tortured and died. ”
"What are you going to do?" Chi Xinian asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do?" Compared with Chi Xinian's heart, Yan Chujing seems relaxed.
He rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't underestimate my secret guards, they have undergone rigorous training since childhood, and in addition to their first-class handling ability, their skills in interrogating prisoners are also first-class.
They hadn't plucked a word out of his mouth for so many days, and there was little hope for them.
"I'm just here for the last struggle."
said that he came to interrogate people on purpose, but in Yan Chujing's heart, he didn't report much hope.
He had even thought that today was just a matter of going through the motions. Otherwise, he would not have taken Chi Xinian out of the palace directly in front of so many palace concubines, and brought her here without warning.
"You just gave up?" Yan Chujing's attitude surprised Chi Xinian.
She looked at Yan Chujing left and right several times, and couldn't help but say, "I always feel that you are not such a person who gives up so easily. ”
In the past, he endured the desperate situation of chaos in the world and internal and external troubles. Although it was hard in those years, she never saw him give up.
People like him... With such a big mystery in front of him, will he really give up?
"What if it weren't?" Yan Chujing tilted his head, "My methods have been exhausted, unless you have another way, you can only give up." ”
He looked like "I am also forced to be helpless", spread his hands, and pushed the problem to Chi Xinian.
Chi Xinian couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, so he could only purse his lips and say, "Then let's try it, let's work together, maybe there is a glimmer of hope." ”
"Okay." Yan Chujing bent his eyes.
He was actually telling the truth, he was really not sure before he pulled up Chi Xi Nian, but now...
Bending the corners of his mouth, Yan Chujing slowly walked to the mountain bandit, raised his hand, and someone sent a chair behind him for him to sit down.
As his gaze lowered, some of the bandits' faces hidden in the shadows were all exposed to his line of sight.
"Chen Jingshan, a native of Yongan County, Tongzhou, was born and lost his mother and was raised by his father. Unfortunately, in the nineteenth year of Chengqian, your father died in the war due to the invasion of the enemy army in the north. ”
