Ten more people lay down in the cave, but they did not die so quickly.
They struggled in pain, and the despair on the verge of death made their expressions ferocious. They pinched the ground with their hands, and the soil sank deeply between their fingers.
Shen Lie walked past them, regardless of them dying one after another, and walked up to Liu Teng with his sword in hand.
Liu Teng was already frightened and huddled in the soft couch, looking at him with a dagger.
The long sword struck out with a silver light. Liu Teng was so frightened that he almost wet his pants, but he still said in a trembling voice: "You, do you know who I am? How dare you come to ruin our good deeds."
"I was just about to ask," Shen Lie's handsome face was cold and he asked in a deep voice, "Who asked you to do this?"
Liu Teng said nothing again, looking at Shen Lie with a pale face, not knowing what to do.
Looking at the other person's demeanor and behavior, you can tell that he is either rich or noble, and his background is definitely not poor.
There are many people in the world who are afraid of his master, but there are even more people who are not afraid of his master. If these things are spread today and his own head is off, he is afraid that his entire family will be dealt with.
Liu Teng's lips trembled. He who had always been timid didn't know where he got the courage today. He suddenly turned his wrist, turned the direction of the dagger he held in his hand, and stabbed his chest fiercely.
However, he failed to get what he wanted. Before that, Shen Lie picked up the sword in his hand and quickly took away his dagger, and it flew crisply onto the travertine.
"Don't play tricks!" Shen Liehan said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to tell me, I have plenty of ways to torture you. I can chop off ten fingers for a while, and your toes. After I've cut them off, I'll slowly cut off yours." Palms and wrists, do you want to see what the bones underneath your skin look like? I want to see if you will still be as tough as you are now."
Liu Teng couldn't breathe after what he said. Apart from anything else, after all, those corpses lying on the ground were real.
"Who asked you to do this?" Shen Lie asked again.
Seeing that Liu Teng still didn't say anything, Shen Lie raised the sword in his hand and seriously cut off one of Liu Teng's fingers.
"Ah!!!" Liu Teng screamed, reaching out to cover his bleeding wound.
"When I count to five, it's the second finger." Shen Lie said.
"I say! I say!" Liu Teng gave in due to the severe pain and shouted loudly, "I say! It's Lu Ronghui! Lu Ronghui!"
Shen Lie paused and said: "The Minister of Punishment... Lu Ronghui?"
Liu Teng's face turned pale, he raised his hand and slapped himself, feeling annoyed that he had actually said it.
"Why?" Shen Lie asked again, "Why does he do this?"
Liu Teng swallowed hard and said: "This is a prescription given by others. It can cure the young master..."
"That kid with cerebral palsy." Shen Lie sneered.
Liu Teng's face turned green and he nodded: "Yes."
"This is retribution," Shen Lie took back the sword in his hand and said calmly, "Lu Ronghui has done many evil things in the past ten years. The retribution is all on his son. Now he still does such evil things. I think his son also I don’t have long to live.”
Liu Teng pursed his lips, suddenly rushed over, raised his head and said, "Sir, if not, you let me live, you bypass me, I will testify for you, I will expose Lu Ronghui, I know all these things , as long as you let me go, I will do anything for you!"
Shen Lie took a step back in disgust, looked at him and said, "I saw that you still had some courage and dared to point a dagger at yourself, but now you are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Sir, I know I was wrong. I know I was helping the evildoers, but all this was not out of my original wish. Sir, I did all this because I was ordered by others, and I don't want to have so much evil in my hands! You can bypass it. I, I will be your dog, and I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future!" Liu Teng said hurriedly.
"Feng Ze." Shen Lie turned around and shouted as he walked.
"Master." Feng Ze responded.
"Leave it to you, ask what needs to be clarified." Shen Lie said.
He really didn't want to talk to this person anymore.
"Yes." Feng Ze responded.
Coming out of the cave, Shen Lie stood high on the river channel, looking at the wide and rushing river below.
The wind blew a deep chill, and he was solemn and silent. The hand behind his back held the sheathed sword, and he felt indescribable disgust in his heart.
There was a voice behind him, and Shen Lie turned around. It was the refugees who were huddled in the cave, barely covering their bodies with rags, and looking at him three or four feet apart outside the cave.
"What's the matter?" Shen Lie asked.
"Thank you, sir..." an old refugee said, his eyes red.
"Thank you so much, young master!" Another refugee cried and knelt down on the ground.
As he knelt down, more and more people knelt down, and some kowtowed on the ground.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Shen Lie took a step aside, hating such a scene the most in his life.
The refugees were still kowtowing and thanking each other, and their cries became more and more intense.
Du Xuan and Zhang Meng rushed over and hurriedly persuaded them to go back.
Not long after he was persuaded to go back, there was a scream for mercy in the cave. Then, Feng Ze wiped the blood on the knife and walked out: "Master, he doesn't know much. The prescription only said that it was given by an expert. Which one is specific? Only Lu Ronghui himself knew clearly about the people. Since the war started here, they came over and attacked many people. He couldn't remember how many people he killed before and after, but there were at least three hundred. He asked people to bring them back three times. The 'medicine guides' they came with had been damaged due to time and failure to preserve them properly, so they were looking for them again now. Now they were lost, and finally found the way out, and met Li Xiao and the others again. He ran back again. What is mentioned here is that Li Xiao and Lin Zongqi may have arrived here in two batches, one after the other."
"Three times." Shen Lie said coldly.
"yes,"
"Three hundred people." Shen Lie sneered, "With so many lives, can Lu Ronghui afford it by herself?"
"...I'm afraid I need more."
Shen Lie nodded and said nothing more.
"Master, what are you going to do with these refugees?" Feng Ze asked again.
"Since we are going to Peifeng City, let's take them with us," Shen Lie said, looking at the sky, and then said, "But for now, let's forget it. It's cold now, and they have no clothes and are walking at night. I'm afraid that my body won't be able to bear it anymore, so I asked them to come over on their own tomorrow. Let's rest here tonight and let them deal with the corpses on their own."
"What about us, stay?"
"I don't want to stay here," Shen Lie looked sideways at him, "You ask Du Xuan and Zhang Meng to clean up, and we can leave."
"Yes." Feng Ze responded.
Not only did Shen Lie not want to stay here, he also didn't want to stay in this cave for a moment longer.
Although he killed someone with his own hands and did not blink when doing so, he did not like looking at corpses, let alone up close.
