Chapter 145 Give You a Chance to Commit Suicide
The bearded man glanced at Wu Tiezhu coldly and said in a deep voice: "Retreat... All retreat into the mine!"
Wu Tiezhu was loading arrows in a hurry. Although he could use a crossbow, he was not very skilled.
Ning Chen walked over and pressed his wrist.
"Team one, get on the muskets!"
Ning Chen divided the thousand people into ten teams on the boat.
Dozens of people quickly stepped forward, and the others retreated.
The dozens of people standing in the front were divided into two rows, the first row half-crouched on the ground, and the people behind stood.
They all raised black iron things in their hands.
"Team two, get ready, team one, shoot!"
As Ning Chen gave the order.
Bang, bang, bang! ! !
The sound was like thunder, and the flames spread with black smoke.
Blood splattered, and screams rang out.
More than half of the people retreating to the mine fell down in an instant...The rest were frightened by the thunder-like sound of the muskets, and looked at the muskets in the hands of the soldiers with horror.
They had never seen such a terrible thing?
"Second team, go!"
The first team immediately withdrew, and the second team took over. Hundreds of muskets were aimed at the remaining dozen people.
"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Those who disobey, the corpses under your feet are your next fate... I guarantee that none of you will survive!"
Those who looked at the corpses under their feet were pale as paper.
Finally, someone couldn't help it and threw away the knife in his hand.
Seeing this, others also threw away their knives.
But the bearded man suddenly turned around and fled towards the mine behind him.
Ning Chen snorted coldly, snatched the musket from a soldier, and raised his hand to shoot.
Bang! ! !
After the deafening sound, blood flowers burst on the bearded man's calf and he fell headfirst.
Ning Chen blew the muzzle of the gun and said sternly: "Catch them all!"
Wu Tiezhu's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed towards the bearded man with a crossbow.
Ning Chen was quick and grabbed him.
"He will die, but not now... I still have something to ask him."
Wu Tiezhu screamed in pain: "Xiao Chen, he killed my father and Chuntao..."
"I know!" Ning Chen patted his shoulder to comfort him, "I promise, he will die."
Wu Tiezhu nodded.
Everyone was arrested.
Ning Chen came in front of them, pulled out a knife, and put it on one person's neck, "Who are you?"
The latter remained silent!
Ning Chen sneered, and with a force of the knife in his hand, he cut his throat.
His knife moved sideways and pointed to another person, "Same question, answer me."
The latter was horrified and looked back at the bearded man.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it!"
Ning Chen raised his knife and cut him directly.
The long knife dripping with blood moved sideways again, pointing to the third person, "Still the same question, answer me."
The man was scared crazy and screamed in horror, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"I asked you to answer my questions, not to beg for mercy."
Ning Chen chopped down with a knife, and blood splattered.
He shook the blood off the knife and pointed at the fourth person.
"My name is Miao San, I am from Lingzhou. I make a living by gambling. Because I owed a lot of money to Mr. Jin, I came here to work and pay off my gambling debts... Sir, spare me, Sir, spare me!"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is Mr. Jin?"
Miao San secretly glanced at the bearded man.
Ning Chen kicked him away and said sternly: "Yuan Long, take them away and interrogate them separately... I want to know how many times they wet the bed when they were young."
"Yes!"
Yuan Long took everyone else away, leaving only the bearded man.
Ning Chen lifted his chin with a bloody knife, "Mr. Jin? What's your full name?"
The bearded man looked fierce and said stubbornly: "You can kill me or cut me up, it's up to you... If you have the ability, give me a quick death!"
Ning Chen laughed instead of getting angry.
"You are a man, hold it in and don't scream!"
Ning Chen raised the knife in his hand and directly cut off one of the bearded man's ears.
"Ah..."
The bearded man screamed like a pig being slaughtered, covering his ears, blood gushing out from his fingers, the pain made his veins pop out, and cold sweat broke out.
Ning Chen sneered: "That's it? I thought you were a tough guy. It seems I overestimated you."
"Kill me if you dare. Don't think you can scare me with this little trick."
The bearded man roared.
Ning Chen pulled out a dagger and threw it in front of him.
"I'll give you a chance to commit suicide, do it... Just wipe your neck lightly, and you'll say goodbye to this world completely."
The bearded man looked at the sharp dagger on the ground, his fingers trembling constantly.
Ning Chen sneered, "Do you have a wife and children? When you die, I will send your woman to the Jiaofang Bureau, where she will be ridden by thousands of men and slept with by tens of thousands of men... Your son will be exiled to a bitter cold place, but you won't be able to see any of this."
The bearded man stared at Ning Chen and roared, "Don't let your family suffer."
Ning Chen sneered, "I am a soldier of Daxuan, I am under the emperor's grace, I eat the emperor's salary, and I believe in the laws of Daxuan... The rules of the rivers and lakes are useless to me."
"Even if I release your wife and children, your wife will remarry in the future, and other men will sleep with your wife, spend the money you earn, and beat your son... Even if your wife doesn't remarry, will the people behind you kill her to silence her?"
The bearded man roared, "She knows nothing, she is innocent."
Ning Chen said calmly: "You said she was innocent, and I believe she was innocent... But will the person behind you believe it?"
"Come on, why am I telling you this when you want to die? Hurry up and kill yourself, I'll take your head back to claim the reward, and everyone will be happy."
The bearded man stared at Ning Chen, "Who are you?"
"Yin Yi from the Supervisory Department, Ning Chen!"
The bearded man's eyes narrowed, "Ning Chen who killed the uncle of the emperor with a knife?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Have you heard of me?"
"Ning Yin Yi, if I confess, can I keep my family safe?"
Ning Chen said calmly: "That depends on whether what you said is valuable?"
The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Jin Wu. I have been practicing boxing since I was a child, and I have been making a living in the escort business... Once I helped Lingzhou prefect Zhang escort a caravan, and encountered robbers, I risked my life to protect the dart."
"Later, I became his bodyguard after being noticed by Lord Zhang... Later, I gradually gained Lord Zhang's trust and helped him do some shady things, such as opening casinos and brothels."
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you talking about Lingzhou prefect Zhang Yuancang?"
"Yes!"
"So, you were also instructed by him to steal the gold mine here?"
Jin Wu nodded, "Half a year ago, Lord Zhang told me to recruit a group of people like Miao San... They are all bad gamblers, hated by people and ghosts, and no one will care even if they disappear."
"When I recruited enough people, I brought them here and started digging."
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "How long have you been digging?"
"Three months."
Ning Chen was shocked. It has been so long... I don't know how much gold ore these grandsons have taken out?
Ning Chen asked indifferently: "How did Zhang Yuancang discover the gold mine?"
