At this time, there was only the light of Huozhezi in the night, which didn't look very real when it shone on his face.

But even so, Zi Yan could still see snot and tears on the fat man's face.

Zi Yan didn't have any sympathy for this, but was secretly amused.

If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?

Although you are crying and howling in embarrassment now, you were really pretty when you tricked Ge Hongmin's family.

"Liu Qinshou?" Zi Yan's clear voice sounded.

"Yes, yes, the villain is here." Liu Qinshou's hands were tied behind his back, his whole body was trembling, he nodded and bowed, and his body involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"Whoa!"

The long sword was unsheathed and placed on Liu Qinshou's neck.

The cold touch of the sword's blade came into contact with his skin, and the feeling that he might die in the next moment made Liu Qinshou's spirit collapse.

"Tell me, what are you wronged? Think through it before you speak. If I think what you are telling is a lie, the next moment, your head will no longer belong to you."

Zi Yan's voice was as cold as water, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, full of cruel and cold-blooded aura.

"Sir, I, we are just a team of merchants. We are delivering medicinal materials to Sixiang City. We have not violated any laws." Liu Qinshou said through trembling teeth.

"Are you really an ordinary caravan?"

"lie!"

Zi Yan raised her sword high, and with a roar, slashed towards Liu Qinshou's neck.

She was not joking with Liu Qinshou.

If Liu Qinshou didn't tell the truth, she would really kill him, but she slowed down a little at the moment of killing him.

Liu Qinshou was heartbroken. He could already feel the most determined murderous intent of the woman in front of him. This sword was really going to kill him!

"Sir, we are indeed merchants, but we still have a mission..."

Zi Yan's hand paused in the air.

"What mission?"

"Explore the road to see if it is passable and whether there are any obstacles for the master's family." Liu Qinshou said hurriedly.

This time he really stopped lying and told the truth.

"Is your master Liu Yuanyi, the county captain?" Zi Yan said calmly.

"Yes, yes, I am the Liu family, and Liu Yuanyi is the head of our Liu family." Liu Qinshou nodded fiercely, like a chicken pecking at rice.

He couldn't care about anything else. If he betrayed the owner, just betray him. As long as he survived, he didn't care about anything else.

Zi Yan looked deeply at Liu Qinshou, and at this moment, a trace of sympathy finally appeared in her eyes.

"Exploring the road? Your master has led people to escape through another way." Zi Yan said calmly.

The muscles on Liu Qinshou's face stiffened little by little, and he was stunned!

He is shrewd and cunning, how could he not understand Zi Yan's words?

Obviously, they are just bait, or the kind of bait that is being deceived.

They were abandoned by their master!

"Liu Yuanyi, you bitch!" Liu Qinshou finally couldn't help but curse loudly.

How much he admired Liu Yuanyi before, now he hates him so much.

"Take it away." Zi Yan waved his hand.

"Sir, I'm still useful. I know where they escaped from..."

Liu Qinshou immediately became anxious when he saw Zi Yan looking like she was throwing away rubbish.

You are unkind and I am unjust. Since Liu Yuanyi abandoned him, he doesn't care about so much anymore. At worst, it is better for everyone to die together than to die alone!

Zi Yan smiled secretly with satisfaction.

Sure enough, a villain like Liu Qinshou cannot be offended.

As long as you irritate him, you can make him speak his mind completely.

This is also the reason why Zi Yan chose to tell the truth.

"How do you know? As far as I know, you are in the group that was abandoned. It is impossible for Liu Yuanyi to tell you where he left." Zi Yan said.

"Don't you lie to me with false news? Not only will you die, but your whole family will not survive."

The smile that appeared on Zi Yan's face made Liu Qinshou couldn't help but shudder.

Zi Yan's smile was bright and charming, but in Liu Qinshou's eyes, it was very scary. Maybe she was a femme fatale.

"It's true, it's true. Liu Yuanyi ordered a batch of medicine from me. That batch of medicine can cure common miasma poisons. The direction of the shipment is Nanzhao. There is another way south from Ping'an County..."

Liu Qinshou immediately told the road he knew.

Zi Yan nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, let's take him down for the time being until I can verify it myself."

Later, Zi Yan left fifty cavalrymen to guard the caravan, and the rest followed her and left the place.

The road Liu Qinshou explained is actually not a secret road.

However, he said that Liu Yuanyi's possible escape method was to break up into pieces and hide in caravans everywhere and head south in batches.

Among them, they are likely to disguise themselves, which increases the difficulty of the search.

…

Zi Yan finally arrived at a pass on the official road going south. After showing the token, the local officials immediately handed over the power temporarily.

Not long after, a caravan came slowly from the front.

This is a common caravan going down to the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing special about it.

All the trade routes between the capital and Jiangnan took this road.

Zi Yan has changed his appearance and has a beard on his face. On the surface, he looks like a rough man with a beard.

"Stop, check!"

Zi Yan stretched out her palm and waved it down.

The caravan in front stopped slowly. They did not dare to stop. Qi Xingyun had already used the new law to pay tolls. All passing caravans must pay without a special permit.

If you refuse to inspect or pay tolls, you are an enemy of the court and are considered a rebel.

At least, there are still some caravans who, relying on their extraordinary background, are very arrogant, refuse to pay tolls, and even bully others.

Later, Qi Xingyun used this excuse to ruthlessly eliminate several powerful people.

Since then, the caravans have become much more honest.

Anyway, it is just to pay some tolls. Without the tolls, the profit of the goods is still very high. In this case, why bother with the emperor.

After the caravan on the opposite side had completely stopped, Zi Yan stepped forward quickly and waved the sword in his hand.

"Get off the bus for me. The men should stand on the left, the women on the right, and those who are neither men nor women should stand in the middle."

When the person in charge of the caravan in front heard this, his eyes widened. He had led the caravan back and forth many times, but he had never met such a person like this before.

Could it be that money management in the past was not adequate?

"Sir, this man can do it, but it's not easy for the female family member to show up in public. Do you think you are accommodating?"

The person in charge quietly took out a roll of banknotes from his sleeve.

Zi Yan took the banknote casually, glanced at it without any trace, and put the banknote away.

But the way she looked at the person in charge was quite meaningful.
