Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 198 - 41: A Lifetime on the Battlefield, Returning with Nothing
"No, no way, it’s just your guess. Let me go, I can give you money, lots and lots of money!"
Zhao Feibai certainly wouldn’t admit it.
Although he had already guessed it internally, he still refused to admit it.
It was different from the initial threats.
Now Zhao Feibai was beginning to promise benefits to Ye Liuyun.
"As long as you let me go, I’ll tell you the location of a stash of jewelry and gold I’ve hidden!"
Over the years as the Patriarch, Zhao Feibai had acquired quite a bit of advantage, amassing quite a bit of wealth in secret.
No choice.
The money on the surface belonged to the Zhao family. Even though Zhao Feibai was the Patriarch, this money also had to be shared with other members of the Zhao family. Only the savings accumulated secretly were truly his.
"Foolish!"
Looking at the hopeful gaze in Zhao Feibai’s eyes, Ye Liuyun smiled.
"Once you’re dead, those are mine as well!"
After saying this, he ignored Zhao Feibai and turned his gaze to Qu Sisi.
No matter what, Zhao Feibai was Qu Sisi’s enemy, and Ye Liuyun intended to listen to Qu Sisi’s thoughts on how to handle him.
"I will listen to you!"
Qu Sisi was a smart person.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression, she understood what he was thinking, shook her head with a smile, and indicated that she wouldn’t stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
She felt touched inside.
Touched that Ye Liuyun would ask for her opinion, regardless of whether it was just a formality, Qu Sisi was moved.
"Alright!"
After getting Qu Sisi’s answer,
Ye Liuyun responded first, then glanced at Jiang Jing, Si Nan, and Shi Sheng.
"Who’s up?"
These words made Jiang Jing and Shi Sheng a bit puzzled, not quite understanding Ye Liuyun’s meaning for a moment.
Only Si Nan reacted the fastest.
"Sir, let me handle this kind of matter!"
He gave Jiang Jing and Shi Sheng a look as if to say, ’Learn from this.’
Si Nan approached Ye Liuyun with a cheerful smile.
"Don’t worry, sir. I even specifically went to the Imperial Prison to learn some special techniques. Even if this guy’s mouth is as stubborn as iron, I can make him talk!"
Knowing that his master enjoyed watching interrogations, Si Nan had secretly learned a thing or two.
Who would have thought today would provide an opportunity to use them?
Indeed.
Though Si Nan had the lowest cultivation among his subordinates, he was certainly the most useful.
"Then I’ll leave it to you!"
Ye Liuyun patted Si Nan on the shoulder with a smile and took a step back with Qu Sisi.
Only to see.
Si Nan stopped in front of Zhao Feibai with a cheerful expression, taking out a small bundle from his pocket.
Inside were some relatively small instruments of torture.
"I’m sorry, the preparation was a bit rushed, so I only have these few tools, but rest assured, you’ll be satisfied!"
Zhao Feibai: ???
Do you hear yourself?
Then, under Zhao Feibai’s horrified gaze, Si Nan picked a pair of pliers, thinking of pulling a few teeth first to test the tool.
But the next second.
"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Ask whatever you want, and I’ll say it!"
Spoiled and pampered, he had never witnessed such a scene before.
They hadn’t even started yet.
Zhao Feibai was so scared he nearly soiled himself.
"Wait, I haven’t even started yet. Do you want to try and hold out a bit?"
Si Nan looked regretful.
Finally having a chance to act, and this was all the resolve you could muster?
"..."
For heaven’s sake.
Why don’t you try holding out instead?
But Zhao Feibai couldn’t object openly, only looking at Ye Liuyun with a pleading expression.
"I’ll tell you, whatever you want, I’ll say!"
Seeing Zhao Feibai wasn’t joking, Si Nan regretfully put the small bundle away.
Soon.
Zhao Feibai revealed to Ye Liuyun the locations of the stashed money.
"I’m telling the truth, let me go, I can work for you, I can help you!"
As the Patriarch of a family, Zhao Feibai definitely didn’t want to die.
He still had plenty of money and power to squander; how could he want to die just like this?
"Don’t worry, we’re all decent people here, I’ll make it quick for you!"
Ye Liuyun’s smile was warm.
But the words made Zhao Feibai shiver. He hadn’t expected this.
He didn’t think there was much conflict between him and Ye Liuyun. Although he had thought of teaching Ye Liuyun a lesson, he hadn’t done anything yet. How did it come to this?
"You!"
Zhao Feibai wanted to say more.
But Ye Liuyun was done listening.
He gestured to Jiang Jing to the side.
"Bang!"
With a long spear thrust, all of Zhao Feibai’s words were now stuck in his throat, not a single one coming out.
After Zhao Feibai’s death,
Ye Liuyun first instructed Jiang Jing to dispose of Zhao Feibai’s body properly.
If something was to be done, it needed to be done cleanly, without leaving any trace.
After Jiang Jing left,
Ye Liuyun looked at Shi Sheng.
"Did you remember the location he mentioned earlier?"
Ye Liuyun was asking about the location Zhao Feibai had mentioned for hiding the money.
"I remembered!"
Shi Sheng’s memory was up to the task.
"Find that place, get the money, and head straight back to the Imperial City. We’ll regroup there!"
Prince Jin City wasn’t their territory after all, too many eyes and ears around.
Besides, I won’t be staying in Prince Jin City for long; soon I’ll be returning to the Imperial City.
