With Yan Qiu's ruthless style of doing things, not only will the entire night watch team die without a burial place, but even their family will be wiped out, and maybe not even a dog will be spared.
"What should we do?" Xia Dezhang and the entire night watch team looked at Zhou Ming with pained faces and asked a question that made them desperate.
Zhou Yiming's expression returned to coldness. He ignored everyone's questions, turned around, put the tip of the knife on Yan Shikuan's neck, and said sternly: "Lift the curtain."
Everyone did not understand Yi Ming's move.
Yan Shikuan ignored Yi Ming's request at all, but instead said to him: "Brother Zhou, I keep my word. Please believe me. As long as you let me go, each of you will receive a generous gift tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yiming secretly exerted force on his hand, and the tip of the knife sank into Yan Shikuan's skin, causing blood to flow out.
"Ah!" Yan Shikuan screamed in pain.
"I asked you to lift the curtain." Zhou Ming repeated.
Yan Shikuan couldn't bear the pain, so he tremblingly lifted the curtain behind him in desperation.
Behind the curtain, in the carriage, were five little girls. The oldest of them was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest looked to be only seven years old.
Each of their hands was tied behind their backs and their mouths were stuffed with something. Seeing that the curtain was lifted, everyone twisted their bodies in fear.
"Beast!" Zhou Ming suddenly felt murderous.
Everyone present was furious when they saw this scene.
Even the stupidest person has guessed that the mastermind and mastermind behind this case of missing women is Yan. As for whether he is the mastermind or an errand boy, as long as Yan Shibandan is brought back to the Yamen, Just ask and you will know.
"Tell me, what are you going to do by kidnapping these little girls?" Zhou Yiming controlled Yan Shikuan tightly and continued to ask.
Yan Shikuan was in pain and fear, breaking into a cold sweat. Seeing Zhou Ming ask this question, his heart was extremely frightened.
The truth behind this disappearance case is more horrifying than ordinary people imagine, and the important people involved in it are even more knowledgeable.
If Yan Shikuan tells all the secrets in order to survive, even if Yi Ming can let him go, the mastermind behind it will make him die without a burial place.
So even though his neck was in extreme pain and he risked losing his life at any time, he still planned to fight to the end and never reveal a single bit of the truth about the case.
“Brother Zhou, please leave the people in the carriage to you.
This case is not something that you, a small government servant, can handle. If you are in too deep, even the great gods will not be able to save you.
Judging from your age, you should be married, right? Are the elderly at home okay?
Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about them.
And the brothers behind you, they also have families, you wouldn't be so cruel and want to drag them to be buried with you, right? "
"Zhou Zhizhi, he is right. Let's not worry so much. Just deal with these people. The most important thing now is to think about how to save everyone's lives."
Xia Dezhang and the others felt that what Yan Shikuan said was very reasonable. Can they, the little soldiers and crab generals, uphold justice? Do not joke.
In this chaotic world, being able to protect yourself is already a blessing.
Obviously, Zhou Yiming was unmoved. Without saying a word, he mobilized his energy, swung the long knife down in his hand, and shattered Yan Shikuan's patella with the back of the knife.
Yan Shikuan immediately fell on the car, rolling over in pain.
"Ah...it hurts me so much."
Everyone was shocked and didn't dare to say another word.
"I won't ask you what I just said a second time. If you still don't tell me, I will break every bone in your body and make your life worse than death."
Zhou Ming raised his knife and said coldly.
Yan Shikuan was really scared.
"I tell you, I tell you everything."
Yan Shikuan was trembling all over and had difficulty speaking.
“The robbery of these women was all for my grandfather.
To practice martial arts, he needs a large amount of high-quality tonic elixirs, and we in Dachu are short of these medicinal materials, and high-quality elixirs are scarce even among the northern barbarians, so..."
Zhou Yiming is such a smart person. He already has a terrible idea in his mind. How much he hopes that this idea is not true.
"Keep talking."
"So my grandfather wanted to refine the unparalleled nourishing medicine, Luohong Dan, in order to reach the highest level of martial arts as soon as possible."
Xia Dezhang, who was standing far away, was stunned as if thunder struck his head when he heard these words.
Having practiced martial arts for many years, he had heard of Luohong Dan, a nourishing magical medicine that was of great help to those who practiced martial arts.
The martial arts realm that originally required ten years of practice could be shortened by twice if assisted by this magical medicine.
Not only that, taking this magic medicine all year round will also improve the martial soul. The specific amount of improvement depends on the qualifications of the practitioner.
Such a powerful magical medicine is rare in the world. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy it.
And it is said that this kind of medicine is very difficult to refine. It requires the blood of hundreds of rare and exotic animals that have not yet mated. It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days to refine, and then nourished with the blood of unmarried women for a whole year before it can be refined. Become.
Not to mention the difficulty in gathering those rare and exotic beasts, just nourishing it with human blood is already shocking. Therefore, although this magical medicine has miraculous effects, its specific training method has long been lost in the world.
As far as Xia Dezhang knows, only the Demon Sect in the south seems to still retain this method of refining elixirs.
Zhou Yiming didn't know the cruel refining method of Luohong Dan, but he knew in his heart that the women who were kidnapped were in danger.
"Keep talking, don't stop." Zhou Ming continued to press.
Yan Shikuan knew that he was in danger of escaping, so he simply said honestly: "Refining the Fallen Red Pill is very complicated, and in the end... it requires the blood of an unmarried woman to be moistened and nourished before it can be successfully refined."
Zhou Ming's pupils were filled with blood, and the hand holding the knife was trembling.
Those innocent women were kidnapped and lost their lives just to make elixirs for the eunuch named Yan.
He turned back and glanced at Chun Ni'er, who was lying on the ground, not yet awake, and asked coldly: "Did you order the death of this child's grandmother?"
Zhou Ming burst out with unprecedented murderous intent.
"Don't blame me, that old lady's ears are so good." Yan Shikuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
"A murder must be paid with a life, do you have any objection?" Zhou Ming slowly raised the knife.
At this moment, Yan Shikuan, who knew that he was about to die, made his final struggle.
He yelled and waved his hands.
Some white powder with a pungent smell instantly filled the air in front of Zhou Ming's eyes.
He quickly stepped aside and held his breath.
Taking this opportunity, Yan Shikuan endured the pain, grabbed the reins of the horse, and drove away as hard as he could.
Xia Dezhang and the others rushed over to catch up with the carriage.
Everyone knows and already knows the secret of this case. If Yan Shikuan runs away like this, everyone present will definitely die.
Yan Shikuan's carriage was flying at lightning speed, and he quickly distanced himself from Xia Dezhang and the others.
Seeing that they could not catch up, everyone in the night watch team sighed in despair.
"It's over, I'm dead this time."
"Hurry home, pack up and run away. Maybe there is still a chance of survival."
"Yan Qiu's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and his power is huge. Even if we run to the edge of the earth, we probably won't be able to save our lives."
At this time, Yiming dispersed the white powder in front of his eyes and saw that Yan Shikuan had escaped far away in a carriage. He did not panic at all.
"middle."
He mobilized his energy and raised his hand to throw the long knife in his hand.
In an instant, a knife hilt grew on Yan Shikuan's head, his brain collapsed, and his dead body rolled out of the carriage, was dragged a distance, and stopped on the street.
Xia Dezhang and all his men were stunned.
Throwing the knife from such a long distance and hitting the target accurately and hard is such a high level of martial arts.
"Bring back the dead body and the carriage." Zhou Ming said coldly.
Only then did Xia Dezhang and the others react and quickly ran towards the carriage.
Zhou Yiming walked to Chunni, leaned down, and checked his breathing. She was still alive.
He picked up Chuni and put her on the carriage that had been pulled back, and then ordered others to comfort the little girls in the carriage.
The night watch team was shocked by Zhou Yiming's performance just now and obeyed his orders. Even Xia Dezhang did not dare to complain.
Xia Dezhang led his men to pile the dead bodies together, and then they all gathered around Yi Ming and asked him what to do next.
"Do you want to die or live?" Zhou Ming asked meaningfully.
"Of course I want to live."
"Zhou Zhizhi, if you have any idea, just say it. We will listen to you."
Everyone quickly expressed their determination.
Zhou Yiming raised his eyes and looked at Xia Dezhang.
Yi Ming, who was just his subordinate just now, has now become the person in charge of the overall situation. This rapid change in status made Xia Dezhang, who was used to being the boss, a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Zhou Zhizhi, now that the matter is over, our lives are all in your hands." Xia Dezhang said with some embarrassment.
This is what Zhou Ming wants.
He walked to Yan Shikuan's dead body and waved to Xia Dezhang and others to pass.
Everyone didn't know what was going on and hurriedly followed him.
Zhou Yiming pulled out his sword and handed it to Xia Dezhang. He looked at Yan Shikuan's dead body with his eyes. The meaning was very simple, and asked Xia Dezhang to chop a few times.
Xia Dezhang was stunned: "Zhou Zhizhu, I just checked, this person is already dead, no need to hit him again."
Zhou Yiming smiled: "You also know that he is dead, so what does it matter if you chop him a few more times?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Ming with puzzled faces, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
It was Xia Dezhang who reacted quickly. He immediately understood what Zhou Ming meant. A few cuts on the dead man's body was equivalent to surrendering his name.
After a few blows, he became the murderer of Yan Shikuan. Even if he wanted to join Yan Qiu and betray Yi Ming in the future, the road would be blocked.
Xia Dezhang sighed in his heart, Yi Ming was so scheming at such a young age, his future was limitless, and he couldn't go wrong by following him.
After thinking about this, he did not hesitate to raise his long knife and slashed at the dead man, seven or eight times in a row.
As for the rest of the night watch team, they still didn't understand Yi Ming's intention, but the leader had already done it, so they could only follow suit and chop this pitiful and hateful dead man.
