Chapter 658 Family Secrets

Shen Ruyi waved her hands repeatedly, "Oh, is that so? But what if you all team up to kill me?"

No, no, this method could easily get me into trouble. I can't do it, I can't do it.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. It seems that, for the sake of my own life, I have no choice but to quietly kill you all and then bury you under surveillance.

"No, hero, please don't kill me! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I'll agree to any condition as long as you don't kill me."

"That's right, sir, please don't kill me. I'll agree to any conditions. Please spare our lives."

"That's right, hero. You killed one of me without missing a single one. Please, hero, have mercy and spare my life. I will repay your kindness by repaying your life in the end."

"Great hero, spare my life, great hero!"

The men knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

Shen Ruyi said with great difficulty, "But I have already hurt you by accident. Even if I want to let you go now, there is no turning back."

It would be safer to just kill you all and bury you, since only the dead can keep secrets.

"Then we'll just leave here. Who will know you died by my hand? Right?"

Shen Ruyi's fist landed heavily on her other hand. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. "Yes, that's how it should be done. Same old rules, let's start digging the hole and burying people."

Seeing that Shen Ruyi must have her reasons for saying that, Yingwu and the others readily agreed, saying:

"Yes, we'll make sure the pit is deep and big enough to bury them without leaving a trace. Don't worry, we're experts at this."

"No, no, no, great hero, we were really wrong. We were blind to your greatness, great hero, please just let us go like a fart."

I promise I won't seek revenge against you, really. If I dare to, I'll make sure the entire Liu family suffers a terrible fate.

"That's right, hero. I also swear that if I dare to seek revenge afterward, may my whole family suffer a terrible death and die a horrible death."

"..."

In order to save their lives, these six people made increasingly vicious oaths, which were so noisy that Shen Ruyi found it hard to listen.

Shen Ruyi waved her hand impatiently and said, "Stop. Cease. If oaths were useful, what would be the point of the government and the imperial court?"

We're both men, we know each other well, right? A man's vows are like a dog's bark; only a fool would believe them.

I think it's safest and most reliable to kill him. After thinking it over, I still think killing him is the most secure and reliable option.

I'll bury you in a pit, and your families will never even think of me.

It's the same if I come back to Jiakang City to get money from your place in a year or two.

Since the money isn't going anywhere, I don't need to take any risks this time.

Letting you go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains; I wouldn't do something so foolish.

Since you are a potential threat, you should be dealt with as soon as you are discovered, instead of waiting until the end to turn around and bite me.

After all, it's not worth it for us江湖人士 (jianghu figures) to go against you powerful people; it's not worth the trouble.

Young Master Lu, whose mind worked the fastest, suggested, "No, hero, how about this: I'll tell you some of my family's secrets, and you can keep them as leverage against me, how about that?"

That way, you'll have leverage over our family, and you won't have to worry about us seeking revenge later. What do you say?

"Yes, I can trade my family secrets for my life."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Shen Ruyi touched her chin, blinked, and looked carefully at the young men kneeling on the ground, staring at her expectantly with wide eyes.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "It seems like it could work, but what if what you're saying is fake? Who can guarantee its authenticity?"

"No, no, that's too risky. Protecting my own life is the most important thing."

He turned to Shadow Five and the others and said, "For safety's sake, let's kill them."

"Yes, that should have been done a long time ago. You shouldn't have dragged your feet and talked to them for so long. Dead people are the best at keeping secrets."

"No, no, sir! I guarantee it's all true. You can send someone to verify it yourself. If you find I'm lying, then you can kill me later."

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree. Please give us a chance to make amends. We promise we won't lie to you, really."

"Anyway, we're being watched by so many experts around you, we can't escape anyway, so why not give us a little more time?"

"That's right, that's right. Please give us a chance."

"We are willing to talk about it."

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite right, Yi Ren turned to Shen Ruyi and said:

"Young master, why don't we give these young men a chance? After all, they are still so young, they don't even look twenty years old yet. It would be such a pity if they died like this."

To die so young, before even beginning the prime of one's life, is truly... well, it's a bit...unpleasant.

"Yes, yes, yes, what this young master says makes sense. We hope that you, sir, can give us a chance."

I assure you that everything I've said is true and of great importance, so that you, sir, will have no worries whatsoever from now on.

"Yes, yes."

……

Finally, after everyone pleaded and the young masters begged, Shen Ruyi agreed.

"Alright, now it's up to you guys to see how you perform. Whoever says the most and the most accurate things will leave the most leverage."

I'll let those who try to fool me off first, but if anyone dares to try and cheat me, I'll slice their heads off like watermelons.

Anyway, I've killed at least 200, if not 300, and a few more of you wouldn't be a problem. It's all just a piece of cake.

Let me make it clear beforehand: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you miss it. There's no second chance.

We'll analyze what you've written afterward. If we find anyone trying to fool me, hmph..."

"No, no, we'll write, we'll write."

"We'll write, we'll write."

Shen Ruyi took out paper, pen, and ink from her bundle and gave them to the young masters. Pointing to the attendants lying to the side, barely daring to breathe, she said:

“There are no tables here, so you can write on the backs of those people.”

The attendants were so frightened that they could only nod and nod.

If their young master lives, they might have a chance to survive; if their young master dies, they won't survive even if they escape.

Therefore, they want this matter to pass quickly more than anyone else.

"Okay, okay, we'll write, we'll write."

The young masters on the ground took the paper, pen, and ink, crawled over, knelt beside their attendants, and began to write obediently.

Regardless of what they are really thinking, they appear to be very honest on the surface.

Of course, some were genuinely terrified and just wanted to survive, so they wrote down everything they knew.

Some people wrote information that couldn't be more true, but he knew that as long as he was allowed to leave alive, his family would make sure these people died without a burial place.
