These two masters were temporarily lent to him. If the Pingjia Granary suffered any losses, he would apply to his superiors and ask them to approve some silver to compensate for the losses of the Pingjia Granary.

The shopkeeper was also happy to do this favor. Naturally, he would not ask for compensation. So the matter was settled.

However, in order to increase their merits, the two cultivators cannot invite the other three fellow apprentices in the granary to go out.

So they said to the county magistrate, "Sir Rong Bing, this matter involves many people. For safety reasons, we would like to ask three other brothers to help guard these prisoners.

If they need to be escorted to the provincial capital, we will have five brothers escort them at a time, which will be safer and more secure.

Even if you have to escort them to the capital, we are willing to serve you."

The county magistrate wished that there were more people to keep these prisoners under guard. These people were killers who killed people without hesitation. If they succeeded, it would be a big deal that they would lose their lives.

The county magistrate was very happy and asked the shopkeeper to go back and tell the other three cultivators to come together to escort the prisoner.

This matter was done very smoothly, and the five cultivators sent the killers to the county government together.

After being tortured, it was revealed that the killers were participating in a robbery for the first time. Before that, they were just chivalrous warriors practicing martial arts.

I had recently encountered a disaster and was short of money, so when I saw the caravan, I suddenly wanted to borrow some money. I had no intention of killing people and robbing them.

These people are very slippery and they are not afraid of torture.

The county magistrate clearly knew that these people were killers, but how could he interrogate them? Even with torture, he could not get them to give out any more useful information.

The county magistrate was very anxious. His achievements this year were about to go down the drain. If these assassins could provide some useful information, he would be able to exceed his goals.

In desperation, the county magistrate asked five cultivators for help and he treated them with good food and wine. The cultivators didn't care about it. But they heard that the killers actually claimed that they were righteous men and had never killed anyone. How could they allow these killers who killed people like crazy to get away with it?

Since these killers never mentioned any murders and even denied that they had ever been involved in various robberies.

Then these cultivators discussed together and decided to teach these killers a lesson!

Although these killers were tough and tight-lipped, the cultivators had many small spells and the itching medicine Xiao Yunyan gave them.

So the five cultivators asked the county magistrate to take a break, and they interrogated the killers. At first, the killers still kept silent and refused to answer any questions.

Master Jin looked anxious. However, when the cultivator calmly took out a small porcelain bottle from his belt bag, he sprinkled a little powder on the tortured killer.

These killers didn't know what the powder was, but they found out later because the skin sprinkled with the powder was itchy and unbearable. And this itch gradually spread throughout the body. Their hands and feet were tied up. Even if they twisted their bodies, they couldn't get rid of this bone-biting itch.

They originally wanted to endure it, maybe the itch would go away, but what made them want to commit suicide was that the itch became more and more severe. It was not even just an itch on the surface, and they even felt that the itch had penetrated into their bones.

There was a pause of about a quarter of an hour. The cultivators gave the killers a thumbs up to express their admiration. They said something sarcastic, saying, "I didn't expect that you killers are so tight-lipped and stubborn. Since this itching powder doesn't work for you, why don't I give you some cramp powder to let you experience the sour feeling of cramps."

These killers are really stubborn. Even if they are dying of itching, they will still bite their tongue to death, because they know that once they confess, they will not only be punished by being itched, but will face the serious crime of immediate beheading.

When the cramp powder was sprinkled on them, they felt the tendons in their bodies twitching unconsciously, especially in their legs. It was as if the gold was being pulled out. The pain was not the sharp pain when being injured by a sharp weapon, but dull, but more unbearable than the pain on the skin. And this kind of pain. The pain continued.

The itching powder started to work, and the killers had a hard time. They used their willpower to control themselves and not make any sound, but it was really unbearable, so they kept screaming in pain.

But after the cramp powder was used, they could no longer control themselves. The wailing sounds continued. As the drugs gradually took effect on them, more and more killers experienced the unbearable pain.

There were even a few times when the cramp-removing powder was not used, but the killer, who had already suffered from the double torture of itching powder and cramp-removing powder, could no longer bear it.

Someone shouted, "Kill me! Kill me! Stop torturing me. I admit that I am a killer and have killed many people. Please kill me now!"

Since this person has admitted it, immediately take his hand and press the fingerprint. Then feed him the antidote.

After calming down, the man broke out in cold sweat, but the exhausted killer knew that there was no hope of survival.

He wanted to commit suicide, but the poison sac in his back teeth had been taken away by five cultivators long ago. So even though he was in great pain just now, he couldn't commit suicide.

He tried to bite his tongue, but the cramps made him not have enough strength to bite through it. Even if he shouted, it was intermittent and vague.

Now he could finally bite his tongue and commit suicide. However, he also hoped for a miracle. If someone could rescue them, then he would die early, wouldn't that be a waste of his life?

These dozens of people came out to rob, and there were more than a dozen mages behind them waiting for them to go back and divide the money. They also agreed that if they got into trouble, those mages would help them.

Seeing someone confess and then being given the antidote, the pain was so excruciating that others began to shout and beg for mercy. All the killers who confessed pressed their handprints and were fed the antidote.

There were still a few who were still holding on. Some had even gone into shock, but they were soon revived by the needles. The pain continued. In the end, they had no choice but to beg for mercy and confess.

The county magistrate and a group of officials and runners were all shocked by the strange things in front of them. They didn't expect these cultivators to be so cruel! However, their little tricks made Xin Taiye and the officials and runners very envious.

The current master privately decided to establish a good relationship with these five cultivators. If he could obtain this kind of treasure from them, he could use some of it on those who refused to confess in the future.

The current master secretly congratulated himself on how smart he was. Fortunately, he personally asked the owner of the Pingjia Granary for help. Therefore, he had the opportunity to meet these five masters.

Otherwise, even if he took these people to the county government, he probably couldn't pry open their mouths if they didn't confess. Even torture required the prisoners to confess in the end. If he asked them to press their fingerprints directly, these prisoners would be sentenced to death, and they would have to go through the review of the superiors. If these people changed their confessions at the critical moment, it would be a big trouble. But if he had such a killer in his hand, I'm afraid no criminal would dare to change his confession. He didn't want to. Because the prisoners' change of confession led to a false case, if he lost his official hat, his family would probably die more miserably than anyone else.

The county magistrate and a group of officials and servants watched the torture scene just now. The five cultivators who were in charge of the prisoners were tortured by these stubborn killers with ease, and finally forced to confess.

After these killers confessed, the five cultivators used the decimal method to control their hands, feet and body strength, so that they had no strength to bite their tongues to commit suicide, nor did they have the strength to hit the wall to die.

The county magistrate set up a banquet and invited five masters. The five cultivators did not want to have a deep relationship with the county magistrate. But now they were very sincere. After they had three rounds of wine and five dishes, the front desk master made his small request.

He was very envious of the five masters, who had the powder that could make the killer speak. The old master tactfully expressed whether he could spend a lot of money to get such a treasure from the five masters.

Although the five cultivators still had a lot of this medicinal powder on them, they did not dare to give it to others easily.

After all, if the county magistrate was not dealing with a murderer who had killed countless people, or the real murderer who refused to admit his crime, but the innocent people who had been wrongly accused, then as the providers of the drug powder, wouldn't they be aiding and abetting the evil?

Therefore, the five cultivators expressed their thoughts very frankly.

He also repeatedly assured himself that he would never sit there and do something that would harm others and himself. The county magistrate said that if he dared to do that, his superiors would take off his official hat, and even the lives of his family would be in danger.

But no matter how the county magistrate assured them, the five cultivators refused to give the powder to him.

However, the five cultivators also helped him by telling him that if he really encountered a criminal who could be proven to be extremely vicious and he refused to confess, he could ask the owner of the affordable granary for help. He also had this kind of powder, but he didn't use it on weekdays.

Although Master Jin was very disappointed, he smiled again when he heard that the shopkeeper of the Pingjia Granary also had such a treasure. This kind of treasure is not needed at ordinary times, but when you encounter a really stubborn person who is guilty and refuses to admit it, you really need to use some extraordinary means.

The interrogation here has made great progress, and the caravan should set off. However, from the interrogation process, the five cultivators clearly felt that these killers concealed something, and it should be related to the caravan.

So the five cultivators sent one person to inform the leader of the caravan, telling them that if they were not in a hurry, it would be best to set off two days later. The five of them did not have to help at the county government office, and two people could go with them.

But if they are in a hurry to leave, then we can only ask them to be more careful.

The team leader is a very cautious person. Since the five cultivators were so kind to come and tell him, it is certain that some relatively unfavorable information was revealed during the interrogation process, but he could not be sure.

Being able to invite two cultivators to join them was something they could not ask for even if they paid a huge sum of money.

Moreover, these two cultivators were the senior brothers of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of Beichuan. Their identities were confirmed by the owner of the Pingjia Granary. If they could travel with the caravan, they would have a safe journey.

The team leader was very grateful to the cultivator who delivered the letter, and said that if the five of them had time, he would treat them to a drink at the best restaurant in the city.

The cultivator who sent the letter told him not to be polite. It was the responsibility of cultivators like them to do things that would benefit the people's safety and happiness.

Moreover, they had also received requests from their junior sisters and brothers, asking them to lend a helping hand if it was convenient if they encountered a caravan under Prince Hongdu in need of help along the way.

These brothers usually travel around and often meet caravans under the names of their fellow brothers and sisters, and they often travel with the caravans.

On the one hand, they can take care of the caravan and help them reach their destination safely. On the other hand, they travel together, hunt, drink, and chat about interesting things from all over the world, which is also a very happy thing.

Now they are asked to take care of Prince Hongdu’s caravan, and they are just doing it by the way.

No matter where you travel, you should do things to accumulate merit and temper your character at the same time.

Since Prince Hongdu is a kind-hearted man praised by his fellow apprentices, they might as well help his caravan reach its destination safely.

Because this place is only 300 miles away from the capital of the country, the court had issued an order two days later.
