The morning glow falls like blood, and the war horses moan.
Qin Huaidao stared at the other party with burning eyes, not missing any slight expression, and said coldly: "If it's true, you should thank me for not abandoning you just now, otherwise I would have been hacked to death. Tell me, yes
Should we die for the person behind the scenes, or should we make a deal?"
"Since it falls on you, sir, other than death, do you think I have any other choice?" The other party asked back. The magistrate of Weinan County is in the sixth rank, so it is reasonable to call himself a lower official in front of Qin Huaidao, who is in the fifth rank.
Qin Huaidao glanced at the battlefield from the corner of his eye. Cheng Chumo and others had killed all the remaining attackers and were cleaning the battlefield. He raised his voice and said, "Brothers, keep some alive."
"Understood!" Everyone responded loudly.
At the end of the battle, Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, focused all his attention on the county magistrate, and asked: "I am merciful and give you two choices. One, bear all the blame and die for the person behind the scenes; two, report it.
And be a witness. Afterwards, if you change your life, I will ask the Holy Spirit to give you a new identity, at least you will not have to die. As for your family, I will not give you any guarantee, but I will try my best to rescue them. Which one do you choose?"
"Don't waste your efforts, just kill me." The other party said with a sullen face, as if he was risking his life.
"Since you chose to die, I will allow you to kill you and then go to the door of the person behind the scenes. Let's say that you were hacked to death by a dead man. Before you died, you repented and confessed the mastermind. What do you think will happen?"
"Without evidence, what can you do to the other party?"
Qin Huaidao sneered: "I never ask for evidence when killing people, only suspicion. I will act on your confession and kill you without any proof. I will knock on your door and force you to prove your innocence. On the surface, there is nothing you can do. Don't think that you are the only ones who know how to play."
Damn it, if you kill a few of his direct descendants, do you think the mastermind will kill all your family members to vent his anger?"
"What good will this do to you?" The other party's eyes twitched and he panicked.
Qin Huaidao sneered and said coldly: "I don't need any benefits, I just want to kill people and take revenge. It's just more convenient to have your confession. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Anyway, the mastermind is either the Wang family of Taiyuan or the Cui family."
It doesn't matter even if it's not the two families. I have a grudge against the Wang family, so I just take the opportunity to knock on the door. The Wang family will find the real mastermind to settle the score. You are dead and have no use value. Do you think the mastermind behind it will pay?
Expose your family to calm the anger of the Wang family?"
"You...how can you be so mean?"
"What a joke, are you allowed to be despicable? If you dare to offend me, there is only one result, and that is to fight to the death. Not the Wang family, not the Cui family, and not even you - even more!"
"Madman, you are a madman!"
"Yes, I am not only a madman, but also a devil. I will kill anyone who tolerates it. One last question, tell me or not!" Qin Huaidao roared and threatened. At the critical moment of the interrogation, he could not let go of his momentum. A dog-legged knife lay across his face.
On the opponent's neck, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly erupted, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.
Qin Huaidao's sharp eyes made the other party feel numb and panicked. He had no doubt that Qin Huaidao would kill him. He was not afraid of death and was prepared to die. But what would happen to his family after his death?
Thinking that Qin Huaidao went to the Wang family on the pretext of confessing, he could escape unscathed even if there was nothing he could do. At most, he would be reprimanded by the emperor, but his family would undoubtedly die.
Then why are you still carrying it?
Seeing that the killing intent in Qin Huaidao's eyes was getting colder and colder, he was about to kill him, so he quickly shouted: "Wait a minute, why should I trust you?"
The dog-leg knife had cut open the skin, and blood overflowed.
The other party was shocked, completely panicked, and yelled desperately: "Wait a minute, don't kill me!"
Qin Huaidao's strength can be controlled with incomparable precision. What he did just now was just a scare, the last straw to break the opponent's back. Seeing that the effect was good, the opponent gave in and slowly took away the dog-leg knife and said coldly: "I promise you will believe it."
?It’s better to give it a try.”
The other party was right when he heard it, but he couldn't believe it completely. There were only two ways in front of him, to be killed, and then the whole family would be buried with him. If he gave it a try, he would be killed at most. The situation wouldn't be too bad. What if he made the right decision?
?
Everyone has selfish motives, so why would you risk your whole family’s life for someone else?
The desire to survive grows like weeds and can no longer be suppressed.
Qin Huaidao saw that the other party was interested in it, but had not yet made a final decision, so he did not rush to rush him and gave the other party some buffering time. Pushing the other party would be counterproductive. He looked at Cheng Chumo and others, who were gathering together and chatting about something, with no intention of coming up.
, probably to avoid suspicion.
After waiting for a while, the man said: "Sir, can you save the official's family first, and promise to recruit everything."
"Let's let some air out first and see if it's of any value." Qin Huaidao tentatively said.
The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiaguan knows the evidence that the people behind the scenes may rebel!"
In a word, earth-shattering!
Even though Qin Huaidao had been mentally prepared, he was shocked. Rebellion is a serious crime that can destroy the nine tribes. Even if it is possible, he must pay attention to it and investigate clearly. If he doesn't care, Li Er can peel off his own skin after knowing it, so he quickly asked: "
Are you sure what you are talking about?"
The other party nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise they would pursue him at all costs? I'm not stupid, so I can't see that these people want to silence them."
"If you are a sensible person, you should know the consequences of deceiving me."
"My family is in your hands, how can you dare to deceive me? I don't want to live. I just hope that your words will be true to my word and give my family a way to survive. Even if I leave an heir to carry on my bloodline, I will be grateful."
Qin Huaidao knew that the ancients valued the inheritance of blood, and it was trustworthy for this reason. Moreover, the matter was too big and unexpected, so he had to take it seriously and comforted him: "If it is really a rebellion, you can be considered as having returned from the lost way and made great achievements."
, Your Majesty should be open-minded, and I will intercede for you."
"Thank you sir, please hurry up, otherwise things will change if you are too late!"
"Okay, where is he?"
"Ten miles to the south there is Zhaojiabao, where Xiaguan's family lives. Xiaguan knew that he would inevitably die, so he sent all his family members there yesterday in the hope that it would be too late."
Time is precious and cannot be wasted. Qin Huaidao shouted: "Brothers, bring all the usable war horses. Let's go fight something bigger. Do you still dare to fight?"
"Why don't you dare?!"
“Who is a coward and who is a coward—where to go?”
"It's good to be big, it's fun to kill!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed loudly, their morale was high, and their fighting spirit was in full swing.
Qin Huaidao hid his two knives behind his back, pointed at the corpse on the ground and said: "Take off some clothes and put them on, don't freeze to death on the road. You are a smart man. You should understand the situation. If you cooperate honestly, you may still have a chance to survive. If you dare to lie,
I will make your life worse than death."
"I'll save you the trouble." The other party bowed and walked quickly towards the corpse next to him.
Soon, Luo Zhang brought two war horses, both of which were ownerless horses left behind by the previous attack. Qin Huaidao got on the horse and told Luo Zhang: "Give him the horse and keep an eye on it. If the situation goes wrong, he will be killed without mercy."
The voice was a bit loud. He was speaking to both Luo Zhang and the other party, so he had to be on guard against others.
Luo Zhang nodded knowingly and stared at each other's every move.
Qin Huaidao put his legs under the horse's belly, walked forward, came to the soldiers who were watching, and shouted loudly: "I am the official of Qin Dynasty in Dali Temple, who is the county magistrate?"
A man in rich brocade clothes hurriedly came out of the crowd, his face was pale, he bowed and said with a bit of panic: "The lower official Gong Qisheng has seen your Excellency, please give me your instructions."
"Protect the scene and quickly send people to Chang'an to report. There must be no mistakes."
