Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

However, Ai Jiao, standing beside them, was extremely dissatisfied with their meaningful glances. He couldn't help but interject: "You two stop exchanging looks like that, just say whatever you have to say!"

After saying this, he suddenly realized he seemed to have said something wrong, so he quickly added: "Uh... I mean, hurry up and confess!"

At this moment, Ai Jiao himself was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart: "Confess what?"

Yan Wang seemed to notice this too, and he took over the conversation, saying: "Right, say it, what exactly is the matter with Prince An's plan?"

Dan Jiajie thought to himself in secret: colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is a capital crime, not telling the truth is also a dead end anyway, since death is certain either way, what else is there to say? So, he simply closed his eyes, feigning sleep, and ignored everyone.

Na Ren saw Dan Jiajie's reaction and couldn't help but feel somewhat puzzled, but he didn't ask further, choosing silence as well. For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp became unusually tense, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the air.

Tang Qiqing coughed once, trying to break this suffocating silence.

However, Ai Jiao was clearly enraged by Dan Jiajie and Na Ren's attitudes, and she shouted furiously: "Fine, since none of you are willing to speak, then all go die!" Saying this, he quickly drew a knife he carried on his person and, without hesitation, slashed toward Dan Jiajie's neck.

Just when it was only an inch from his neck, that coldly gleaming sharp blade suddenly seemed to have been enchanted, stopping abruptly in midair! At the same time, a hidden weapon fell to the ground.

Dan Jiajie's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and there was not a trace of panic or fear on his face; instead, he revealed a calmness as if he had long anticipated all of this.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile, as if saying to Ai Jiao: "See, I knew you couldn't kill me."

And Na Ren, standing beside him, similarly wore an expression of "as expected," as if all of this was within his expectations.

Seeing this, Ai Jiao's anger was instantly ignited; he stared wide-eyed, glaring fixedly at Dan Jiajie, his face full of unwillingness and resentment.

However, when his gaze fell on the hidden weapon that had struck Dan Jiajie's knife, his anger was like being doused with a basin of cold water, extinguished by more than half in an instant.

Because he was surprised to discover that this hidden weapon was actually shot by Yan Wang!

Ai Jiao turned his head, looking at Yan Wang with a face full of suspicion, and asked angrily: "Wang, why did you stop me?"

Yan Wang looked at Ai Jiao with an expressionless face and slowly said: "Letting him die so easily is really too cheap for him. Since he dared to collude with the enemy and betray the country, he must have long anticipated such a day, so naturally he wouldn't fear death. But what is more terrifying than death is rather letting him continue to live."

Hearing Yan Wang's words, Ai Jiao's confusion grew even stronger; he scratched his head and said: "Wang, I still don't quite understand what you mean, can you be more straightforward?"

Just then, Tang Qi, standing beside him, suddenly spoke: "When a person dies, it's just a matter of closing their eyes, knowing nothing. But if they're still alive? Then they can only watch helplessly as things they least want to see happen right before their eyes!"

Hearing these words from Tang Qi, Yan Wang couldn't help but cast him an admiring glance, then turned to his subordinates behind him and ordered: "Someone! Go tie up Dan Jiajie's few daughters and send them directly to the largest brothel in Peizhou!

Break all the hands and feet of his three sons; remember, don't beat them to death! Once everything is done, tie them up and bring them over.

I want to first let Inspector Adult see his three crippled good sons, then wait a few days, and I'll personally take him to the brothels in Peizhou to see how his daughters dance, play the zither, and offer toasts, and finally how they are embraced by a group of disgusting men!"

As soon as Yan Wang finished speaking, only to see that Dan Jiajie, who had originally been silent and expressionless, suddenly had a trace of terror and anger rise in his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

And Ai Jiao, standing beside him, seemed very considerate, and she softly reminded: "Wang, there's also Dan Jiajie's wife..."

Yan Wang then said as if suddenly realizing: "Oh, right, I heard there's a nest of bandits near Peizhou, they are quite rampant! Although under Zhang Shu's governance, they rarely come out to commit evil deeds, but it's said these guys are simply utterly wicked and beyond redemption! This Peizhou is so close to Fu Zhou, Inspector Adult, you must have heard of them too? How about we throw his wife at the gate of that stronghold and let those bandits treat her well..."

Yan Wang said while also showing a malicious smile. However, Dan Jiajie beside him broke out in a cold sweat, cursing bitterly in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall that he had indeed heard of a stronghold in Peizhou called Qingfeng Stronghold. Before Zhang Qiming became the Prefect of Tongling Commandery, this Qingfeng Stronghold often robbed homes and committed all sorts of evil. Especially upon seeing pretty young girls, they would without hesitation abduct them up the mountain.

However, since Zhang Qiming became Prefect, this Qingfeng Stronghold seemed to have quieted down considerably, and there had been no trouble for a full three years.

But even so, Dan Jiajie knew very well in his heart that the bandit nature of this Qingfeng Stronghold was not so easily changed. Not to mention a woman, even if a seventy-year-old grandmother were sent into that stronghold, she would probably be played to death by those bandits!

Thinking of this, Dan Jiajie felt a chill. Although he didn't have much affection for this wife of his, after all they were husband and wife; if she were really thrown into that Qingfeng Stronghold, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, by then the green hat on his head probably wouldn't know how high it could be stacked!

At this moment, Yan Wang said with an expressionless face: "Someone, first go catch his three sons for me, let him open his eyes well!"

Hearing this, Dan Jiajie's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Adult, don't go! I say, I say everything! I don't beg Adult to spare me, I only beg Adult to grant our whole family a quick and painless death, so we can die with peace of mind."

However, Yan Wang was unmoved, and he coldly said: "Now is not the time for you to negotiate terms with me! If you answer well, it can be considered you making amends; but if you answer poorly, don't blame me for being ruthless, this is a great crime of Nine Clan Execution!"

Dan Jiajie was so scared his whole body trembled, nodding repeatedly and saying: "Adult, I understand, I will definitely answer truthfully!"

Seeing this, Yan Wang then nodded slightly, signaling him to continue speaking.
