"Ha ha ha ha……"

Luo Pinzheng suddenly laughed arrogantly and pointed at the people who were huddled together.

"I'm scared! Why wouldn't I be scared? So don't I need your help?"

She patted the shoulder armor of the soldier beside her. "Go to the house and bring out the paper, ink, brush and inkstone."

Seeing the soldiers taking orders and leaving, the group of people looked at each other, and then became even angrier.

One person rolled his eyes and shouted while hiding in the crowd.

"You treated us like this, yet you still want us to help you. Even if we die, we will never join you in a rebellion!"

Someone instigated her and immediately threw a tinder into a pile of cotton, and the others followed her and shouted.

"Kill us if you dare. If we don't go back, someone will find out sooner or later. Forget it!"

"That's right! I don't believe you can kill all thirty of us quietly!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and pointed at Luo Pinzheng's nose to threaten her, but no one was really fearless enough to rush over and hit her.

They are all shrewd people. They say they are not afraid of death, but in fact they are more afraid of death than anyone else. At this moment, they want to use these words to scare Luo Pinzheng.

Luo Pinzheng looked at them with a teasing look in his eyes. "Oh? Really? That seems to make sense. I am a little worried."

When everyone heard this, they felt there was hope and their attitudes immediately softened.

When threatening someone, you have to use both soft and hard tactics, and the success rate is often very high.

"Lord Luo, we don't know why you have to take the path of rebellion."

"But we have been friends for so many years. If you just let us go, we promise not to tell anyone about this. We will not interfere in your plans afterwards."

"We are all trying to make a living in this world. We all cherish our lives and will never be ungrateful."

"Yeah yeah!"

A group of people talked at once, making promises one after another, trying to persuade Luo Pinzheng to let them go back.

When Qin Anmin heard their indifferent and nonchalant remarks, he became even more angry.

Forget about the businessmen, there are many who hold official positions among them.

They usually pretend to be decent human beings, honest and incorruptible, and live for the people, but at this moment, not a single one of them is afraid of death.

Instead of speaking up for justice and confronting Luo Pinzheng, it would be fine if she could just remain silent like her and Su Qinghe!

Everyone rushed to say good things!

Looking at a group of people who usually pretended to be well-behaved but were now trying to please him everywhere, Luo Pinzheng had a disdainful smile on his face.

"Shut up!" She frowned and yelled, raising her hands to pick at her ears. "If you keep making noise, I'll cut off your tongues and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves!"

Luo Pinzheng's attitude changed so quickly that everyone was shocked again. No one dared to speak for a while.

Looking at the group of people who had finally calmed down, Luo Pinzheng chuckled twice, waved his hand, and turned around first.

"Bring everyone here."

The surrounding soldiers took the order and stretched out their swords threateningly.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle! If you dawdle again, I'll chop you to death!"

These people were always treated kindly wherever they went before, so they had never seen such a scene before.

Seeing that more than a dozen shining swords were about to be swung at them, everyone hurriedly pushed and shoved and stumbled forward.

In front of her, Luo Pinzheng had already sat on a chair with her legs crossed. Directly in front of her was a table with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

Everyone was confused but didn't dare to speak, they could only look at her nervously.

Luo Pinzheng smiled, raised his hand, picked up a bunch of grapes and slowly chewed them.

"Now, each of you write a letter home."

"Let's say that the Ziyunling Pass has been built. At the order of Your Majesty, I will hold a ritual to honor the heavens and pray for the long-term peace and prosperity of this road."

"In order to facilitate everyone's travel, this ceremony of worshipping heaven will be held at Lingyan Temple on the mountainside, and you will wait for them there."

At this point, Luo Pinzheng had just finished eating a bunch of grapes. She took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, and looked at everyone.

Seeing that they all looked resentful, he grinned contemptuously, raised his voice and spoke slowly.

"Call everyone in the house who can walk here. Don't make me go there myself!"

When she said the word "please", she emphasized it deliberately, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing.

"Also, bring three thousand taels of silver when you come. You should contribute to this building that serves the country and the people. It would be an honor to tell others about it, right?"

After these words were spoken, everyone's faces were filled with fear, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

Luo Pinzheng not only wanted to arrest them, but also wanted to control their families to threaten them.

Some people couldn't stand this sudden change and protested excitedly.

"Is this what you want us to do for you? I won't write it! None of us will write it, and no one should be fooled by her!"

"She hasn't achieved her goal yet. She still needs us. She doesn't dare to do anything to us. If she really writes it according to her wishes, then her whole family will be controlled by her and everything will be over!"

The man roared with his face red, and everyone who heard it felt something in their hearts, and they were no longer as scared as before.

"Ha ha……"

But at this moment, everyone heard Luo Pinzheng's contemptuous laughter again, and they all stared at her nervously with their fists clenched.

"Who's going to write first? The one who finishes first can have dinner first!"

After she finished speaking, everyone just looked at her, but no one moved.

"Ha! Okay!" Luo Pinzheng chuckled again.

"It seems like you guys are all the same, you won't cry until you see the King of Hell, and you won't accept the toast until you drink the wine. If that's the case, then just waste time! I have plenty of time to waste with you."

After saying this, seeing that everyone looked relieved, Luo Pinzheng kindly reminded them again.

"Oh! But you don't have to worry, we won't take long. At most an hour, the poison will take effect on you. Hahahaha——"

She laughed arrogantly and crossed her legs and placed them on the table in front of her.

"You over there, go get some more fruit. And you over there, come and give me a shoulder massage. I'm so tired after three days of climbing!"

Luo Pin was busy giving orders to the soldiers beside him, completely ignoring the group of people whose faces had changed.

Luo Pin was enjoying it peacefully, but everyone else had cold sweat on their foreheads. They were stamping their feet in panic and wanted to walk around, but they could only mark time because they were surrounded by people.

"She prepared all the food for us along the way. What should we do? She definitely didn't lie to us this time!"

"Why don't we just write it? Since she chooses to control us, she will definitely not kill us. Even if my husband and children fall into her hands, she will definitely not harm them."
