The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

Upon hearing the name Sasaki, Huang Fu's expression changed drastically, but he quickly recovered and walked out with a smile on his face.

"Sir, you must be mistaken."

"Who is Sasaki? I am Huang Fu, the priest of Luoshui City."

Shen Qing's eyes were icy. A mistake? There was no way there could be a mistake.

His innate sixth senses captured the changes in Sasaki's expression perfectly.

I never expected to actually manage to get a ninth-rank priest position in Luoshui City.

The official position in Da Wu was actually given to a Japanese pirate.

What a disgusting person.

In the next instant, a gust of wind swept through the courtyard. Shen Qing transformed into a phantom and swiftly pounced on Sasaki, delivering a punch directly to Sasaki's abdomen. Sasaki's eyeballs bulged out, and he was sent flying backward, crashing through three walls in succession.

Huang Min, standing behind the crowd, looked on with a serious expression. He hadn't even been able to see Shen Qing's movements clearly.

But this was already Shen Qing showing mercy; otherwise, if he had unleashed the full power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, that punch would have been enough to kill Sasaki eighteen and a half times over.

Sasaki struggled to his feet, gripping the rubble of one side of the wall.

Shen Qing's icy voice rang out.

"Sasaki, why did you infiltrate Luoshui City! What are your intentions! Confess the truth!"

Blood kept spilling from the corner of Sasaki's mouth. He knew that he had been exposed today.

But where exactly did things go wrong?

However, he no longer had time to think, because Shen Qing was walking towards him step by step, the clattering of her boots on the ground like a death knell striking his heart.

He roared.

"Father-in-law! Help me!"

Zhang Zhu also came to his senses, his face full of anger.

"So you're Shen Qing, the new centurion of the centurion's office? Do you know who I am? I am Zhang Zhu, the vice magistrate of Luoshui City!"

"This is my son-in-law, Huang Fu, definitely not Sasaki as you claim!"

"Let me tell you, even if you're a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you'd better give me an explanation today! Otherwise, this isn't over!"

Shen Qing turned around, her eyes icy, and grabbed Zhang Zhu by the neck.

"You think you're the magistrate of Luoshui City?"

"You didn't even know your house was haunted?!"

"You still want to protect this Japanese pirate? You'd better think about whether you can keep your head this time."

It's now quite clear that Sasaki's appointment as the priest of Luoshui City is undoubtedly related to Zhang Zhu.

A Japanese pirate married the daughter of the magistrate of Luoshui City, who then personally helped the pirate obtain an official position.

For these two crimes alone, stripping him of his official robes would be considered a reward.

Shen Qing casually tossed Zhang Zhu to the black dog's feet, and the black dog skillfully took out an iron chain and tied up the prefect who was at the peak of the Acquired Realm.

By this time, the guests in the room were filled with regret, wishing they could slap themselves a few times for coming to this banquet and getting themselves into this mess.

One of the bolder ones stood up shakily: "Lord Shen, I have no relation to this Huang Fu... no, Sasaki. May I leave first...?"

Shen Qing sneered: "Are you playing house with the Embroidered Uniform Guards? You think you can just walk away whenever you want? Today, anyone who dares to step out of this courtyard will be executed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of weapons being drawn rang out, and Black Dog led a squad of Imperial Guards into the courtyard. The high walls around the courtyard were also filled with Imperial Guards holding crossbows.

Shen Qing slowly walked towards Sasaki, who had fallen into the ruins.

"Tell me your name."

Huang Fu used his hands to support himself on the ground and tried his best to move.

"My name is Huang Fu! My real name is Huang Fu! You have to believe me!"

Shen Qing stepped on Huang Fu's ankle and applied slight force, resulting in a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds.

"Name."

Sasaki opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"I'll talk, I'll talk... My name is Hiroto... Sasaki Hiroto..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhu stumbled back two steps, about to fall to the ground, when the black dog grabbed Zhang Zhu's collar to prevent him from falling.

As for the surrounding guests, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. If there were really Japanese pirates, none of them would be able to leave. Staying in the Jinyiwei prison for a month would already be considered a privilege.

Shen Qing stepped on Sasaki's other ankle.

"How many people do you have in Luoshui City?"

Sasaki's eyes were filled with fear, and his voice was already strained.

There are a total of...

In the corner, Huang Min's eyes grew colder. He couldn't let Sasaki continue talking; if he did, who knew who else he might implicate?

Huang Min flipped his hand, and three kunai appeared in his hand. He quickly shot them toward Sasaki.

A few sparks flashed, and Shen Qing casually knocked away all three kunai.

However, those three kunai were just a feint; his real killing move was himself.

Huang Min thought to himself, "I have been practicing ninjutsu since I was a child, and my speed is unmatched in the Xiantian realm."

With neither the commander of Luoshui City nor the garrison commander present, what can a mere centurion of Luoshui City do to me?

Killing Sasaki and leaving would be as easy as I could do.

Huang Min smiled, his eyes filled with confidence.

But then a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, because Shen Qing, who had just been standing next to Sasaki, was gone.

The next moment, Huang Min felt a chill run down his spine; Shen Qing was right behind him!

Huang Min struggled to turn his head and saw a fist rapidly enlarging in his pupils.

Bang!

Huang Min's face began to contort wildly, and he was so badly beaten that he was embedded in the ground.

Shen Qing looked down at Huang Min with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

"He didn't hit you, did he?"

This punch knocked out Huang Min's nose, knocked out half of his teeth, and splattered his brains, but he could still speak.

"Baka, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Just kill me. I'm not a coward like Sasaki. You won't get any information out of me."

Shen Qing scoffed, "Stubborn? I'd like to see just how stubborn you are."

With his right hand, Shen Qing grabbed Huang Min's right thumb and squeezed it slightly. The bone of Huang Min's thumb was crushed into powder by Shen Qing, and the pain went straight to his heart.

Huang Min gritted his teeth, his face pale, but he didn't utter a sound.

Shen Qing grabbed Huang Min's right index finger and did the same thing, leaving large beads of sweat on Huang Min's face.

With a snap, the index finger broke off, but Shen Qing showed no sign of stopping and had already grabbed the middle finger.

The determination in Huang Min's eyes vanished completely, and he quickly spoke up.

"I confess...I confess...Stop pinching me...Stop pinching me..."

"My name is Shinichi Yamamoto..."

Shen Qing showed a look of disgust, pierced Yamamoto's Qi Sea with a finger, and casually tossed it to the black dog.

"Interrogate them. I need to know where these soybean seeds came from and what they are for."

"And how many Japanese pirates are hiding in Luoshui City? And who is protecting these pirates?"

Before long, Black Dog and his gang had prepared a complete set of torture instruments.

After experiencing several arrests by Shen Qing, Black Dog always carried the torture instruments with him because he discovered that Shen Qing had a penchant for interrogating criminals on the spot.

Before long, Yamamoto and Sasaki's screams echoed throughout the courtyard.

Shen Qing found a table full of food and drinks, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and took a bite.

The moment it enters your mouth, a cool sensation washes over you like ripples on water.

Shen Qing sat in the chair, popped a grape into her mouth, and turned to look at the group of guests.

"I advise you to think about who Sasaki used to be close to."

"You deserve credit for reporting this."

Sasaki was, after all, a Japanese pirate. How many people could he be close to? It's true that every one of them is one less person he could have.

The guests exchanged glances, and the next moment some of them rushed to Shen Qing's side.

It lacked any of its former dignity.

"Sir, I'm reporting..."
