Chapter 150: Your Majesty is Intelligent
Overnight, people at the border of Wucheng learned that a powerful female hero had arrived and had beaten the Japanese pirates so badly that they had no power to fight back.
The people were both excited and nervous when they saw the corpses lying around near the city gate.
He knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Jingning.
"Thank you, lady, for your chivalrous deeds!"
Seeing this, the others kowtowed to Lu Jingning and praised the heroine for her righteousness.
The recaptured rebels and others were covered in wounds, but they still glared at the people fiercely, as if they wanted to eat them alive.
The leader sneered: "What kind of female hero are you? You are just pretending. Don't let me live, otherwise I will massacre the whole city and kill everyone without leaving a single person alive!"
Lu Jingning glanced at the boss calmly: "Your master is dead, and you are still screaming here. When I have time, I will make sure that your ancestors will be buried with the people of Wucheng!"
"You!" The boss choked, and his sharp gaze finally dimmed under Lu Jingning's oppressive gaze. Lu Jingning waved his hand and ordered his men to take away several important leaders, and the rest were killed without leaving any alive.
Lu Jingning went to the county magistrate's house. The blood on the ground had not been wiped clean yet, and there was still a faint fishy smell in the air.
She clenched her fingertips.
I dare not think about how tragic it was for the county magistrate's family of dozens of people to be wiped out.
"If you want to kill him, just kill him. Why waste time?" the second one shouted.
Lu Jingning raised the corner of her mouth, and with one look, all eight leaders were pinned to the ground. She raised her eyes slightly and said, "Do it!"
In an instant, there were screams in the yard.
All eight were tortured.
After a stick of incense
Lu Jingning cleared his throat and said, "I only have three spots to pardon your family members. You must seize the opportunity."
The eight people looked at each other and gritted their teeth.
"If you still don't confess after half an hour, I will have no choice but to imprison you and use your bodies to seek justice from the Emperor of Donglin. Your brothers and sisters, wives and children..."
With every word Lu Jingning spoke, the faces of these people became uglier.
"Go on!" she said.
The screams continued.
Finally, someone broke down and cried for mercy. Lu Jingning raised her hand and the guards stopped. She said, "Bring me a pen!"
When one person compromised, the others were eager to try, and soon they scrambled to beg for mercy, wishing to reveal everything they knew.
Soon a pile of confessions fell into his hands.
According to statistics, they killed more than 2,000 innocent civilians.
Lu Jingning's hands were shaking as he looked at the data, his eyes were filled with anger, he gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice: "How many people have not been captured yet?"
"There are five of us brothers in total, and the fourth and fifth brothers are bringing three thousand..."
"Third brother!" The eldest brother suddenly spoke up, realizing something was wrong: "Shut up, we've been fooled."
The third brother was confused, sweating profusely from the pain, and turned his head with difficulty to look at the eldest brother. The eldest brother gritted his teeth and said, "She didn't catch the master at all, she is trying to trick us!"
He was shocked by Lu Jingning's ruthless methods just now and lost his composure for a moment. Now that he has come to his senses, the boss realized that something is wrong.
If Jing Yun was executed, how could they be completely unaware of such a big thing?
These are all one-sided words from the person in front of us.
Lu Jingning sneered: "You, the boss, are really uncivilized. You stop other families just to save your own family."
The third brother's vision gradually became clear after hearing this. He glared at the eldest brother angrily and continued to speak. The eldest brother wanted to say more but was quickly blocked by the guards.
"The fourth and fifth brothers are hiding in Wucheng. One is a businessman and the other is a doctor." The third brother couldn't stand it anymore. Since he couldn't escape death anyway, he could only take a gamble for his family.
Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly; "What does he look like?"
The third brother was choked with speech.
The second child raised his hand: "I can draw."
The guard immediately handed the pen and paper to the second brother. The second brother was cautious and immediately asked: "If I draw it, can you guarantee that it will not hurt my family?"
Lu Jingning agreed immediately: "Okay, if what you said is true, I promise you that I will never bring harm to your family."
Upon hearing this, the second brother picked up a pen and drew the appearance of the two men on paper. Both of them were elegant and handsome. Holding the portraits, Lu Jingning immediately asked someone to draw a few more identical ones and secretly sent someone to look for them.
The boss standing by was already disheartened upon seeing this.
All the questions that needed to be asked were asked, and Lu Jingning ordered his men to lock up all eight people and find a doctor to save their lives.
A thousand guards were left behind to clean up the mess at the border.
She set out for Wucheng overnight.
It was already late at night when he arrived. He got off the carriage and found an inn to rest for a while. Before he could sit down, he was taken into someone's arms.
The man's chin rested on Lu Jingning's forehead, breathing rapidly.
Lu Jingning's sleepiness was dispelled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he stretched out his arms to hug his waist, and rested his head in his arms.
After a while, the two sat opposite each other. Bu Yan looked at the tiredness on Lu Jingning's face and felt distressed. He held her hand and said, "You go and rest first. Leave this to me for the time being."
He was indeed tired after traveling all night. After seeing Bu Yan, he relaxed a lot and fell asleep on the couch with his clothes on.
She slept very soundly that night. When she woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day. She propped up half of her body on her elbow and tilted her head to look outside.
Xue Yuan heard the noise and pushed open the door and came in: "Your Majesty, would you like to have dinner?"
"Yeah!" She nodded, threw off the quilt and got out of bed. She glanced out the window. The sky was filled with yellow sand and the environment was terrible. She asked in a low voice, "Where's Bu Yan?"
"Master Bu went out early in the morning."
Lu Jingning pursed his lips and asked about the movements of the fourth and fifth brothers. Xue Yuan said, "These two are very cunning and disappeared without a trace in the city. Lord Bu said that we should not make too much noise, otherwise it might cause panic."
The situation is urgent now and the three armed forces are in turmoil, which is a big taboo.
After dinner, Lu Jingning's mind was full of the portraits of the fourth and fifth brothers. He made two masks while Bu Yan was still here.
"Awake." Bu Yan came back and saw two masks on her desk, and raised his eyebrows.
"I felt a little uneasy after arriving in Wucheng. To prevent this, I found two people to wear these two masks and hang around the border town of Northern Qi. I showed my face a few times and opened a medicine shop."
If anything really happens in the future, she will be the first to drag Donglin into it.
Bu Yan laughed and gave her a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is smart!"
