"Brat, tell us what we want to know honestly, or else I'll chop off your fingers one by one and feed them to the dogs!" The tall man threatened fiercely.
"I'll definitely tell you everything I know!" The man quickly said.
"Good." Seeing the other party's reaction, the tall man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now tell me, is this person Manager Yan of your Little Yue Village?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Manager Yan who was lying on the ground.
"Yes, he is Manager Yan." The man replied with a trembling voice.
"Hmm … Then did any strangers enter your Little Yue Village these past few days?" The tall man asked again.
He asked casually and did not expect the person in front of him to answer. After all, this person's status was much lower than Manager Yan's.
What he did not expect was that this person said, "Sir, our Little Yue Village really did have strangers entering these past few days, and there were quite a few of them."
Hearing this, the eyes of the two men in black immediately lit up. The short man in black immediately said, "Have you seen them? Do you know what they look like? "
"When they arrived, I was just outside the door … Although I don't remember most of them, I can still remember the two people leading them, especially the young man." The man said.
"Oh, then tell me in detail!" The short man in black hurriedly said.
Hearing what the other party said, he felt that the young man in the lead was most likely the Fifth Prince.
The man in front of them immediately described the Fifth Prince's appearance.
Once he finished, the two men in black could not help but frown because the person he described looked very different from the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince did not have a beard, but the man in black said that the young man leading them had a beard.
Was that not the case? Both of them furrowed their brows.
Then, the short man asked again, "What does the other person leading them look like?"
"That person looked like a middle-aged man. He wore a hat on his head and also had a beard." The man said.
Hearing this, the tall man in black frowned again. He looked at the short man in black and said, "That's not right. If this person is Qian Zhenghe, he should not have a beard."
Qian Zhenghe was also clean-shaven.
"We're pretty sure. In my opinion, they must have disguised themselves, but it's hard to tell from their faces," the short young man said with a frown.
He then looked at the other party and said, "Where are those people in your Little Yue Village now?"
"The manor lord must have asked them to hide in the basement, and this matter is extremely secretive. Other than a few people who saw them before, no one else knows of their existence. Even the manor lord's descendants don't know about this," the man said.
The two black-clothed men looked at each other, and the taller black-clothed man immediately said, "Looks like it really might be them."
"His Majesty said that it would be better to kill a thousand innocents than to let one go. So, we will definitely investigate this Little Yue Village!" The short man in black said.
After a slight pause, the short black-clothed man said to the tall black-clothed man, "You keep watch here, I'll go back and find someone!"
After the tall man in black nodded his head, the short man in black immediately left.
In just half a day's time, he brought back thirty people. Among these thirty people, there were five experts who could activate grade five ice talismans.
These people were naturally out to search for the fifth prince and the others. Since they were nearby, they were quickly found by the short black-clothed man.
Then, the group of people went straight to the Little Yue Village.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Little Yue Village.
Seeing so many people appear, all of them brimming with killing intent, the people guarding the entrance were naturally a little afraid.
When they noticed that one of them was Shi Wei, they hurriedly asked, "Shi Wei, who are they? What are they doing here?"
Shi Wei was the person who submitted to the two black-clothed men. As for Manager Yan and the other person, they had already been killed by the tall black-clothed man.
"They are here to see the master," Shi Wei said.
"Shi Wei, didn't you go out with Manager Yan? Where are Manager Yan and the other person?" At this moment, someone suddenly asked.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's kill our way in!" The tall black-clothed man from before could not hold it in any longer and directly shouted.
"Alright, let's kill our way in … Shi Wei, bring us directly to the basement!" The short black-clothed man nodded his head and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, two of the people in black immediately took action. They activated the grade five ice talismans in their hands and in a short period of time, the people at the entrance were directly frozen to the point of kneeling on the ground.
The group of people immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
Shi Wei led them directly to the basement.
After killing their way through, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the basement.
Since they were powerful, there was no one who could stop them along the way.
"It's here!" Shi Wei pointed at the big door of the basement.
"Who are you people?" At this moment, an angry roar came from not far away.
When they looked up, they saw an old man leading a group of people rushing over angrily.
The tall black-clothed man immediately recognized the old man as the lord of the Little Yue Village. He immediately smiled and said, "So Lord Gao is here."
The person who came was the lord of the Little Yue Village, Gao Yue. He looked at the people in front of him and coldly said, "Who exactly are you people?"
Although he asked this verbally, he already knew in his heart that these people were sent by the emperor.
However, he did not understand how these people knew that the Fifth Prince and his group were hiding in their place.
"Lord Gao knows very well why we are here. So, we will not waste our breath!" The short black-clothed man said.
"I really do not know what you are talking about. If you do not bring these people away from the Little Yue Village, don't blame us for being impolite!" Gao Yue coldly said.
"Tsk tsk, Lord Gao, can't you tell who is strong and who is weak?" The tall black-clothed man sneered.
At this moment, Gao Yue saw Shi Wei hiding behind the two black-clothed men.
Could it be Shi Wei's secret? Such a thought immediately flashed in his mind.
He knew that Shi Wei had met the Fifth Prince and the others before. However, because Shi Wei had been diligent in the Little Yue Village for so many years and did not make any mistakes, he let Shi Wei go out with Chief Steward Yan. He did not expect Shi Wei to bring these people in.
Immediately, he looked at Shi Wei and coldly said, "Shi Wei, why did you bring these people in after just one trip? Where is Manager Yan and the others?"
"I …" Shi Wei was momentarily speechless.
He could not possibly say that he was forced by these people.
At this moment, the short black-clothed man directly interrupted them and coldly said, "Lord Gao, stop blaming this and that. Our purpose here is very simple. We are here to find the Fifth Prince and hope that Lord Gao can hand him over!"
Fifth Prince? These words made the surrounding people of the Little Yue Village very confused.
In their opinion, their Little Yue Village should not have any relations with someone like the Fifth Prince. After all, they were only a small force and could not even be compared to those small clans in the imperial city.
"The Fifth Prince? I am confused by your words. I do know the Fifth Prince, but the Fifth Prince does not know me. The Fifth Prince would not come to my poor and remote place, "Gao Yue said.
"Hehe, Lord Gao, don't deny it. We know that the Fifth Prince and his group came to the vicinity of the Little Yue Village and then disappeared. We searched everywhere but could not find them. It can only be in your Little Yue Village!" The tall black-clothed man coldly said.
"We really did not see the Fifth Prince." Gao Yue still denied it.
"Is that so?" The short black-clothed man coldly said, "Since Lord Gao denies it like this, we can only barge in!"
After saying that, he directly said, "Do it!"
As soon as his voice fell, two people immediately stood out and took out the level five frost talismans on them.
"Lord, let us do it!" Seeing that the other party was so strong, two people immediately stood out from behind Gao Yue.
As soon as these two people stood out, Gao Yue immediately retreated.
At this time, these two people also took out the frost talismans on them. They were also level five frost talismans.
Although there were two such experts, Gao Yue knew that it would be difficult for him and his group to stop them.
This was because he could see that there was an expert among the other party who could activate level five frost talismans. Moreover, the other party's mastery of level five frost talismans was definitely above the two people on his side.
However, even if he knew the result, he could not retreat.
Soon, these four people silently chanted rune terms. In the next moment, waves of frost energy attacked the other party with them as the center.
As expected, from the beginning, the two people on Gao Yue's side were obviously at a disadvantage. In just a short while, they knelt on the ground.
"Lord Gao, if you do not hand over the Fifth Prince and his group, the consequences will be even more serious!" The tall black-clothed man said proudly.
"Sir, we really have not seen the Fifth Prince!" Gao Yue still gritted his teeth and said.
"It seems that you will not shed tears until you see the coffin!" The short black-clothed man could not help but say angrily.
He originally wanted to ignore Gao Yue and his group and directly rush to the basement. Now, Gao Yue's words made him angry.
He planned to first suppress Gao Yue and then enter the basement to take a look.
He immediately pointed at Gao Yue and said, "Take him down!"
As soon as he said that, a few people on his side directly rushed towards Gao Yue.
The people behind Gao Yue hurriedly rushed out to stop them. However, they were no match for these experts who could activate level five frost talismans. Soon, they were put on the ground.
After a while, Gao Yue was also taken down.
As soon as Gao Yue was taken down, the people of Little Yue Village fled in all directions. The short black-clothed man did not let all of them go. He only stopped after capturing some of them.
It could be said that if it was not for the Fifth Prince, he would have directly killed some of them.
After capturing these people, the short black-clothed man opened the basement door and walked in with a group of people.
The basement was not small. However, after searching once, the short black-clothed man and his group's expression changed because they did not find anyone inside.
He could not help but look at Shi Wei and asked, "Shi Wei, is there another basement in this Little Yue Village?"
"It's just this basement." Shi Wei said.
At this time, he was also very confused. He did not know why the Fifth Prince and his group were not inside.
It seemed that Shi Wei was mistaken. Those people were not hiding here. Thinking so, the short black-clothed man immediately walked in front of Gao Yue and asked fiercely, "Village Master Gao, where did you hide them?"
"Sir, I really have not seen them. How could I hide them?" Gao Yue still denied.
"It seems that we have to use torture!" The tall black-clothed man said at this time.
"Let's search first." The short black-clothed man frowned.
The reason for this was naturally because of the Fifth Prince. After all, the Fifth Prince's identity was different. Perhaps after this incident, there would be a chance for him to make a comeback. At that time, it would not be good for him to bear a grudge against him because he had tortured Gao Yue.
Therefore, he decided not to use torture for the time being.
Immediately, he asked the people he brought to search the entire Little Yue Village.
However, after half a day, they still could not find them.
It seemed that they really had to use torture! Such a situation made such a thought flash in the short black-clothed man's heart.
However, after sweeping his gaze, his gaze stopped at a young woman and the baby in the young woman's arms.
This young woman was exquisitely dressed. Her status in the Little Yue Village was definitely not ordinary.
It seemed that she was Gao Yue's daughter-in-law, and this baby was Gao Yue's grandson. He thought so in his heart.
Who would have thought that he directly walked toward the young woman.
"You … What are you doing?" Seeing him walking toward her, the young woman was so scared that she kept retreating.
The short black-clothed man did not speak. He directly reached out to grab the baby in her arms.
The young woman naturally dodged and tried to stop him. However, how could she stop the short black-clothed man? The baby in her arms was quickly snatched away by him.
"Village Master Gao, this child is probably your grandson, right?" The short black-clothed man looked at Gao Yue and said.
"No!" Gao Yue directly said.
"Tsk tsk, Village Master Gao is really cruel. He actually did not even recognize his own grandson." The tall black-clothed man sneered.
The short black-clothed man looked at the young woman and said, "Madam, if you don't want anything to happen to this child, then obediently tell me where those strangers are hiding. Otherwise, I don't mind killing this child!"
After saying that, he pulled out his right hand from his waist, and a shining dagger impressively appeared in his hand.
"I … I … I don't know anything." The young woman was so scared that she was incoherent.
The short black-clothed man glanced at Gao Yue on the other side and said, "You don't know? Then your father-in-law might know. "
Gao Yue chose to remain silent this time.
"What? None of you are going to say anything? Then I can only be impolite!" The short black-clothed man's face turned cold. In the next moment, the dagger in his hand suddenly stabbed toward the baby.
In the next moment, the baby cried loudly, as if he had been stabbed.
"What? Are you still not going to say anything? "Seeing that Gao Yue and the others still did not move, the short black-clothed man threatened again.
After saying that, the dagger in his hand stabbed down again.
"I'll say, I'll say …" At the same time, the young woman's voice rang out.
