Chapter 766

"I have no problem, I just want to watch Sister Gu use torture on them…"

"Huh?"

"If my lord disagrees, I won't go. I'll listen to you."

Zhao Chi didn't know what to say.

She was clearly a gentle little woman—how could she have tastes in this area?

Could it be that Gu Qing had led her astray?

Probably not.

Perhaps it was still that innate talent of hers for masochism at work.

But wasn't her masochistic taste only directed at herself?

Could watching others be tortured excite her too?

Tang Ruan looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Chi sighed: "Fine, that's not really a problem. You can also learn interrogation and torture techniques from Gu Qing."

Tang Ruan smiled sweetly: "Mm, thank you, my lord. I understand."

Almost instinctively, Zhao Chi looked back at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue stood quietly behind him, saying nothing.

Seeing Zhao Chi turn his head, Qi Yue gave a faint smile.

Qi Yue is still the obedient one.

There were quite a few houses in Taoyuan Village.

Zhao Chi casually picked one and used it as an interrogation room.

Now the three beastman heroes began to be interrogated.

They weren't very important, so interrogating them first also let them practice their interrogation skills.

After half an hour of interrogation and torture, the three beastmen were nearly broken.

"Any more supplies? If you have them, hand them over now. If not, I'll give you another needle."

Gu Qing said gently.

But the beastman heroes wailed and sobbed.

"Really nothing left, really nothing left, I've handed over everything. I just told you there's nothing left, why are you still stabbing me? I beg you, I've really handed over everything."

Gu Qing sighed and leaned close to Zhao Chi's ear: "My lord, it should be true. A normal person can't endure a few of those."

Zhao Chi looked at the medicines and severed heads on the ground, a bit speechless.

He asked: "I can understand you keeping these medicines in your system space, but whose heads are these? Why did you keep them in your system space?"

The beastman hero cried: "Those were ones I saved to eat at night, I haven't even touched them, the brains are all still in. Lord, you can have them all to eat."

Zhao Chi nearly threw up.

Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed lightly: "My lord, would you like to eat them? Would you like me to help you prepare them?"

Zhao Chi knew she was joking.

He said, exasperated: "Eat my ass. Put those medicines away, throw the heads out and dispose of them, drag them out and tie them up, then drag Gao Di and Han Er in—they're the big fish."

"Okay~"

Gao Di was interrogated first.

He was the lord of a large village, he should have good stuff stored.

"Brother Zhao Chi, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I didn't know that Su Qin was your woman. If I had known, I wouldn't have touched her even if it killed me. Can you let me go? I'll be your slave…"

Zhao Chi said impatiently: "Why so much talk? Tang Ruan, hold him down. Gu Qing, give him a needle first."

"Understood!"

Tang Ruan excitedly went over and held Gao Di down tightly.

Gao Di shouted in terror: "Brother, brother, calm down! I'm a commoner too. Our enemy is the nobility—let's not kill each other!"

Gu Qing flicked the blood off the thick needle: "Don't worry, you won't die. I'll treat you. Then let's begin to enjoy ourselves."

One needle went in.

Gao Di indeed went quiet.

He couldn't make a single sound.

His eyes were wide, his mouth open.

Even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

After a good while, a wretched howl finally escaped his throat.

It even startled Tang Ruan: "Why is he screaming so loud?"

Gu Qing said: "It seems humans really can't endure pain as well as beastmen. After all, beastmen are a bit thicker-skinned and tougher."

Those beastman heroes also screamed, even weeping in agony.

But this Gao Di had actually lost control of his bladder.

His urine was everywhere on the floor.

Zhao Chi reminded her: "Tang Ruan, move aside a bit, don't get it on you."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Qing said: "This is fine too. One needle like this and he should behave. We'll see the effect in a bit."

Sure enough, just as Gu Qing said.

After Gao Di recovered, he was as obedient as Qi Yue.

He answered whatever was asked.

Everything in the system space came tumbling out as well.

Zhao Chi nodded: "So you're saying, both you and Han Er are subordinates of Zhou Hua?"

Gao Di nodded rapidly: "Y-yes, that's right."

Zhao Chi continued asking: "What's the situation outside? How big is the scale of the rebels' attack on the nobles this time?"

Gao Di answered cautiously.

"I don't actually know much about the specifics, really not much.

"But I know my boss Zhou Hua, and the bosses of two other rebel groups, Lu Guan and Huang Zhao, are also just underlings of someone else.

"Our several rebel groups all take orders from Boss Jiang Yang.

"He had us, on the night three days ago, attack River Valley Town together."

Zhao Chi asked: "Jiang Yang? Isn't he a famous big bandit? So you're his people?"

Gao Di chimed in: "Right, right, he's a big bandit."

Zhao Chi nodded: "No wonder you came to extort our village — do you even deserve to call yourselves rebels?"

Gao Di laughed along: "That's what the nobles decided. They classified us as rebels, but we actually call ourselves the Heavenly King Army."

"Heavenly King my ass! You're nothing but a big pack of bandits!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we're bandits."

Zhao Chi thought for a moment.

He had heard of Jiang Yang.

He was the notoriously famous leader of a bandit army, whose formidable strength allowed him to clash head-on with small noble forces.

The nobles had never been able to wipe them out, and through snowball-like accumulation, they grew ever stronger.

But speaking practically.

Although Jiang Yang robbed households — nobles, clans, he spared none, and even robbed commoners.

Whatever he plundered, he was very willing to distribute to his subordinates.

Supplies, captives, money, women — he gave the majority of it all away.

This made many people willing to follow him and work together.

There were even many small bandit forces that submitted to him, ultimately making him the largest bandit force in the area.

A few days ago he fought a great battle against the nobles; although he wasn't defeated, in the end they couldn't outlast the nobles in a war of attrition.

As long as they didn't win, they had effectively lost.

After that, they went quiet for a while.

Who would have thought they'd suddenly appear on a large scale again now.

Zhao Chi continued asking: "What about the others? Where are the other rebel groups? Did they take part in this operation too?"
