"Okay, now that you've let go, there's no need to suffer anymore, right?" Henry came over and squatted in front of the assassin leader: "I'll give you a good time by telling you everything you need to say. Anyway, this is the current situation. Even if they come to pick you up, they will suspect you of revealing information, and they will be tortured and silenced when you return."
"How about taking it easy and going on the road." The sage's tone was steady without any fluctuation, and the assassin leader looked at him deeply and sighed:
"Give me a cup of tea."

At 6 o'clock in the morning, there were a few purple clouds and it suddenly started pouring rain. Because of the heavy rain, the sky became gloomier and the sunshine came more slowly than usual.
"Bang bang bang bang!" The violent knocking on the door echoed on the closed door of Ziyun Mansion. Because it was covered by the sound of rain, the door was smashed for several minutes before someone came over and beat the copper foam on the other side. Nailed red painted wooden door opened.
"What are you doing so early in the morning!" The doorman, who had been soaked since he woke up early in the morning, yelled angrily, while the waiter, who was also wet, gasped and said what he saw.
"I'm going to report it to you!" The heavy rain fell, and the waiter at the hotel notified the government. But 20 minutes later, a team of twenty or thirty people braved the rain and ran to the hotel where the group was staying.
"Huh-huh-" The panting guard was pushed away arrogantly, and after the chief of Ziyun City, whose official uniform was a bit messy, walked out, he saw the assassin's corpses lined up on the ground, with a fearful look on his face. The store clerk and customers, as well as the samurai group enjoying spring tea.
"What's going on? Who is the speaker? Come out and see me." The fat officer had a mustache that was bare among men. His complexion was as fair as the children of the Zhangzhou Wu family, and his voice was as thin as a woman's. .
"Eunuch?" Old Qiao next to him whispered, and Narumi took a sip of spring tea, put down the cup and stood up.
"My lord, this is the officer reporting to me." The sergeant wearing a samurai costume and carrying a sword said to the other party: "I am a warrior under the Qingtian family in Qingzhi Town, the feudal territory. I met him at dawn in the early morning. These thieves attacked and fought back in self-defense. They immediately woke up the hotel staff and asked them to inform the government on their behalf."
"Please excuse me, sir." Narumi explained calmly: "The thieves attacked more than ten of us, but due to their lack of skills, we all counterattacked and killed them."
"Well, that's it." Ziyun's commander rubbed his beard and lowered his head to look at the assassins. His face changed slightly when he noticed their outfits.
"When did you say these people attacked?"
"I would like to report to you, sir. It's early in the morning, just before dawn, around 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock." Narumi opened his mouth without breathing or heartbeat.
"This, that's not right -" Ziyun's commander said subconsciously.
"What's wrong? Does your Excellency know the origins of these little thieves?" The sergeant came closer and continued to ask: "These thieves wanted to steal our property, but they were easily killed by us because they were not very skilled in the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. Killing is really not worth mentioning. Could it be that he is actually somewhat famous locally?"
"Uh, no, I don't know. I just heard that thieves like to operate at midnight, so I heard that attacking before dawn is a bit contrary to common sense." Ziyun's commander waved and asked a follower next to him to wipe his sweat. , while saying this.
Even though it rained early in the hot summer, it made the weather even hotter and muggier due to the abundant water vapor, which was obviously very uncomfortable for the obese officer.
"So that's it. Your Excellency, you are really clever and clever, and you know everything about this kind of thing." Narumi flattered the other party, and then continued: "But these thieves are not high-level, and they don't know what they want, so they chose the wrong time. Right. It is precisely because of this that we can escape. Oh, I am really lucky."
"Pfft, cough, cough, cough." Yajiro just swallowed a mouthful of tea and almost didn't spit it out. Then he coughed because he was choked.
"Anyway, please sir, please record these corpses on your behalf. We fought back purely in self-defense and even saved a lady who unfortunately was implicated. Although they are just thieves, they have brought such a bloody disaster to this century-old store. It is really a shame. I’m sorry.”
"Please, sir, please order someone to dispose of the bodies of these thieves as soon as possible." Narumi described politely, while Ziyun's commander glanced back and forth in the store. The passengers and clerks were all looking here, and finally sighed. .
"Are there any survivors? These villains may have accomplices. If there are any survivors, please hand them over to me for questioning."
"I'm really sorry. Due to the sudden attack, we couldn't hold back when we counterattacked. They were all killed on the spot. However, there are still many traces left by the struggle with the thieves on the third floor. If you want to investigate, sir, we can send the private Move items out of the reserved space.”
"Well, that's it, I'll give you a while." Ziyun's commander nodded, then took another look at the scene in the store, turned back and waved: "Carry the bodies of these guys away."
"Thank you, sir." The store manager breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked the officer. At this moment, the other guests finally relaxed and started to prepare for breakfast. The military attachés poured in and started to carry a body and prepare to leave. While the officer wanted to say something, Narumi had already turned around and started talking to the store manager.
"No, please accept it." The samurai leader wanted to compensate the other party with some gift money, but the store manager insisted that he was responsible for the attack in his hotel.
"Oh, I am neither arrogant nor impatient. I dealt with the thief and reported it to the official in time. Not only that, I also want to compensate for my losses. The samurai-sama is really——"
