Chapter 373 Absolutely Shameless
Du Xiuyuan and Xu Zhen, although not clear on the full details, understood the general gist. They knew that these Dongyin people, for the sake of silver, had poisoned so many of their Great Hua compatriots. They were immediately filled with righteous indignation. Seizing hold of Sasaki, they restrained him, and Lin Wanrong kicked him repeatedly. Drawing his steel knife and placing it against Sasaki's neck, he coldly said, "I'll ask you one more time, were those five thousand soldiers all poisoned to death by you Dongyin people?"
Sasaki snorted, "They were useless. Their deaths, very good!"
The veins on Lin Wanrong's forehead stood out, and he forcefully suppressed his rage. Smiling coldly, he said, "Xu Zhen, I leave him to you. You must guarantee to me that he must still be alive a year from now, but, he must suffer more than if he were dead."
"At your command," Xu Zhen grinned, eyes aflame with fury. "I will certainly complete the task."
Waving his hand, Xu Zhen led Sasaki away. Du Xiuyuan saw that General Lin seemed to be in a foul mood, so he obediently withdrew, leaving General Lin alone in quiet contemplation.
"Do you really want to kill this Dongyin man? Don't you want to know where they hid the silver?" A woman's voice sounded in Lin Wanrong's ear, gentle and ethereal, a faint fragrance entering his nostrils, stirring his thoughts a little. Had it been an ordinary day, he would have flirted with her, but today, he had no interest.
"These are Dongyin ninjas, trained as suicide troops. The place where they hid the silver – do you think he would reveal it? Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver are not so easily moved. As long as it's within the boundaries of Jining, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find it. As for this wretch, I don't want to kill him – I want him to live a life worse than death, to regret ever being born." Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage. "Five thousand people, a full five thousand! These Dongyin people, on the soil of my Great Hua, poisoned five thousand of my compatriots. Fairy Sister, if it were you, what would you do?"
Ning Yuxi's brows lightly furrowed, and she softly said, "Though the Dongyin people are ruthless, have you considered that these five thousand were traitors to the Emperor, joining another camp and becoming rebels? To put it bluntly, they abetted evil and deserved death!"
