Chapter 268: Forced Confession (3)

The man lowered his head. No one could see his expression, and naturally, no one could tell whether it was true or false. However, he seemed to have forgotten that he was not the only Dragon Shadow Guard in the woodshed. When he said that all of them were here and had not heard any news, the other Dragon Shadow Guards were all stunned reflexively. Although they quickly returned to normal, they could not escape the gaze of Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi.

"is it?"

Raising his eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan smiled faintly, looked at the assassins behind him and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Is everything he said true?"

"Yes Yes···"

Thinking she just wanted to confirm, the Dragon Shadow Guards nodded in unison. They also had some illusions in their hearts. As long as they could fool her, their deaths would be worth it.

"hehe···"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. These people were still playing tricks on them at this time. Did they really think they were easy to fool? But...
"Have you thought it through? I'll ask you one last time, is what he said really true?"

"···"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Shen Xiangwan's voice remained flat, but anyone who was not a fool could tell that there was something else behind her words. They did not dare to respond, and their hearts were all in their throats.

"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin."

Standing up and walking towards the man, Shen Xiangwan had a syringe in her hand. Facing everyone's puzzled looks, she stabbed the man's neck with the syringe.

"what···"

The man cried out in pain reflexively, with an inexplicable fear rising in his heart.

"If what he says later is different from what he said before, don't blame me for being cruel."

Walking back and sitting down again, Shen Xiangwan said lightly.

Did she know he was lying?
All the assassins couldn't help but let out a thud in their hearts, secretly guessing what she was going to do. What they didn't see was that the painful expression on the face of the man with his back to them had gradually turned into confusion and dullness. Yes, Shen Xiangwan had injected him with a drug specifically designed to make people confess, and since they still had people jumping around outside, she couldn't continue playing around.

"Are there any of your people outside? What news did you get before this? Have you reported it back to the Imperial City?"

Shen Xiangwan's voice sounded again, and everyone felt relieved when they saw that she was asking the same questions as before. As long as they insisted on their previous statements, she would be unable to do anything to them. Of course, they were not ignorant and foolish, so they knew that they would not survive this time. Now they only hoped that they would not die so miserably.

"Have."

Unfortunately, they were going to be disappointed. The man overturned his own words as soon as he opened his mouth: "We still have one person left outside. Before this operation, we found that there seemed to be something wrong with the military and political power in Chenzhou. We left one person outside to investigate. So far, there should be no news sent back to the imperial city."

The man answered every question and explained everything clearly.

"No... no, we have no one left."

"Yes, he lied!"

"We really have no one left..." Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan smiled, but the assassins were terrified. They never dreamed that he would take the initiative to confess. What was the point of them cooperating in lying before? Did he want to kill them?
"Ah!"

Giving them a meaningful look, Shen Xiangwan sneered, "Do you know where that person is hiding?"

"know."

"No, shut up!"

As expected, the man answered in the affirmative, but the others' faces were filled with fear and anger, not understanding why he suddenly changed his words.

"where is he?"

Ignoring those people, Shen Xiangwan continued to ask.

"The courtyard on the innermost left side of Wanren Lane in the eastern district of Fucheng is our base."

"Shut up, you f**king shut up."

Seeing that he actually said it, one of the assassins was furious, and the rest of them mostly fell to the ground weakly, with the only words in their minds being "it's all over, it's all".

After leaning over and whispering something to Wei Chengyi, Yuan Xiu turned around and strode away. They had to catch that man immediately, otherwise he would definitely notice something was wrong, and it would be troublesome if he moved to another place to hide.

"Since you are a top Grandmaster, your status in the Dragon Shadow Guard should be quite high, right? Do you know why the Dog Emperor wanted to put Wei Chengyi and the Wei family to death?"

After a short silence, Shen Xiangwan asked again. She was a little confused. The Dog Emperor was afraid of the Wei family and worried that the Wei family would make a comeback. She could understand all this. If it were any other time, she would not find it strange that he wanted to destroy the Wei family so much.

But now the border is unstable. Outside the eastern border, the Qiang State is eyeing us covetously. Several battles of varying sizes have broken out. The peasant uprisings in Quanzhou, Binzhou and Taizhou in the country are also raging.

Moreover, because it hadn't rained for several months, the second-season crops planted in the south were almost all dried up. A nationwide famine would soon break out, and the dog emperor should be extremely worried, so how could he still be determined to destroy the Wei family and even spend money to entrust the Silver Moon Tower?
No matter how he looked at it, Shen Xiangwan felt it was a little strange. However, the dog emperor was also a real dog. He would rather take money to entrust the Yinyue Tower to kill people than to provide relief to the victims. Otherwise, how could peasant uprisings break out in Quanzhou and other places?

"Because Prince Wei Yang, the Crown Prince, and Wei Chengming died on the battlefield on the surface, but in fact they died at the hands of the Dragon Shadow Guards. It was also our secret plot that poisoned Wei Chengyi that year, and you must not know about this. In addition, His Majesty has sent several groups of people to assassinate you, but you are still alive and well. He thinks you are a serious threat and must be eradicated. In addition, nearly 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers suddenly applied for retirement in the East Border Army, and some of the originally convicted generals and their families also disappeared mysteriously. The emperor thinks that they should all come to Chenzhou to surrender to Wei Chengyi. Only by killing all the Wei family members first can we eliminate future troubles."

"what?"

Wei Chengyi, who had remained calm the whole time, jumped up. Did his grandfather, father, and brother not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of the Dragon Shadow Guards? He had lived two lives, but he had no idea about it.

"Husband!"

Knowing that he deeply values ​​the old prince and the others, Shen Xiangwan reached out and held his hand, then raised her head and looked at him with concern.

Feeling the warmth from her, Wei Chengyi lowered his head to see her hand holding his, his eyes bloodshot. Let's forget about his poisoning, he was not stupid, he had realized long ago that his poisoning was not simple, but he just couldn't find the evidence. However, he didn't expect that there was a secret behind the death of his grandfather, father and brother. For the first time, he urgently wanted to lead his troops back to the imperial city, capture the dog emperor alive and offer a blood sacrifice to the spirits of his grandfather and others in heaven.
