Chapter 8
"Tell me, do you guys have any other accomplices?"

"..."

"Let's talk about it, and you can save a little bit of physical pain." Li Xuan squatted there, swinging the long sword in his hand on the body of the third leader.

"If you want to kill, kill it, if you have the guts, give me a good time!" The third master covered his lower body and roared without admitting defeat.

"What are you yelling at?" Li Xuan plucked his ears: "Tell me, why are you traffickers doing something wrong? Do you want to destroy your home?"

"What do you know, you little brat?" The third master was still stubborn.

"You say you, such a strong man, it's fine to become a bandit. If you rob the rich and help the poor, I still respect you as a man."

"... "

"Look at the children you caught again. Which one of them has no family behind them, and which one has no parents?"

"... "

"Do you have children? Tell me, what will happen to you if your child is captured by traffickers?"

"... "

"It's getting late, and I'm tired too. Tell me, do you have any other strongholds for the Tanshan Five Tigers? Who is the master behind the scenes?"

"You kill me, I can't betray my brother!" The third master said in a low voice.

"It seems that I've been underestimated." Li Xuan said to himself, "You really think that I can't deal with you because I'm still a child, don't you?"

"Why so much nonsense, my Wang Shan lost today, and my brother died. If you think highly of me, give me a good time! Otherwise, you will use all kinds of tricks and want me to betray my brother? Dreaming!"

"Good! Good! Good! He's a man!" Li Xuan reached into his arms and pretended to dig out something, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his backpack: "Your name is Wang Shan, right?"

"Yes! My uncle is Wang Shan!"

"Do you know what this bottle in my hand is?"

Wang Shan turned his head and ignored him.

"It's okay if you ignore me!" Li Xuan shook the small porcelain bottle: "Mercury, you know that?"

"... "

"I don't know? It's okay! Let me tell you, I've seen a punishment in an ancient book, and I don't know if it's true or not. Let me tell you."

"You don't have to scare me, I, the Tanshan Five Tigers, were not frightened!"

"Let's go then, I'll go get ready and dig a hole."

After speaking, Li Xuan dragged the body of the third master Wang Shan and walked out.

"Let me tell you, there is an ancient book that says, first dig a hole, bury the person in the soil, and leave only one head to breathe outside."

While talking, Li Xuan shoveled on the ground with his sword, pretending to make the sound of digging a hole.

"Then, it's on the top of the human's celestial spirit cover, huh, this is it." As he said that, Li Xuan gestured on the top of the third king's mountain: "At this position, I will make a small opening on your head."

Hearing Li Xuan's flat tone, Wang Shan trembled in his heart, and the cold air hit his whole body from the place Li Xuan touched.

You know, this kid killed eight of his brothers by himself!Even Ergou who has no news is probably more ominous than good, otherwise how would Li Xuan find their place?
This kid has a meticulous mind and ruthless means, even many gangsters may not be able to match him.

"Then pour the quicksilver in my hand into the small opening on your head."

"It's written in the book that this mercury will flow along your blood vessels, and you will feel very itchy all over your body!"

"But, you're buried in the soil, and you can't scratch it with your hands, so you will keep twisting your body in the soil!"

"Twist and twist like this until your skin and flesh are completely separated, and then jump out from the small hole in your head!"

"The book says that this punishment is called skinning!"

While talking, Li Xuan gestured at Wang Shan.

"Do you still want to say it now?" Li Xuan leaned close to Wang Shan's ear and said darkly: "Actually, I still want you not to say it, and I also want to see if this punishment is as interesting as it is written in the book! Anyway You'll tell me in the end if you can't take it anymore."

Wang Shan's heart trembled, and he said tremblingly: "I said, I said, I just ask you to give me a good time!"

Although he had never heard of the skinning punishment, he couldn't help Li Xuan's words in a serious manner, and it didn't seem like he was lying to him.

In case it is true what he said, it is better to recruit now than to recruit again if you can't stand the torture, please have a good time!

"Brothers, I'm going to let you down!"

"go ahead."

"Okay, refreshing! How many accomplices do you have? Where is the lair?"

"We were all villagers in Jinjiajian, and we couldn't bear the exploitation of landlords and officials, so we fell into bandits."

"I didn't ask you this, and I don't care to know. You just need to tell me, where is your lair? How many accomplices are there?"

"Our lair is in Tanshan. The five of us are collectively known as the Tanshan Five Tigers. There are probably a hundred brothers under our command."

"Besides this, where are your other dens?"

"Our boss' name is Zhang Fu'an. He sits in Tanshan all the year round and occasionally robs some wealthy businessmen in the past."

"The second child is called Li Xiu. He is our military adviser. He has read some books and passed the examination of scholar. He usually advises my elder brother in the village, and occasionally goes down the mountain to the city to find a way for the village."

"Last year, the second elder brother hired Wei Qianhu, a guard in Suzhou city, to find such an errand for the village, and opened up a way of making money for our village. The remaining two brothers and I each brought ten clever Brother Dian, every month we collect children near Suzhou City and send them to Wei Qianhu, and we can get ten taels of silver for each child."

Wang Shan told everything about the situation in Tanshan.

"Are there any other dens besides yours?"

"In addition to me, the fourth brother Han Jingbang brought ten brothers to the Dragon King Temple outside the stone tablet ridge, and the fifth brother Zhang Fuping also brought ten brothers to the Huayang Temple. Each of them did the same thing as me."

"Okay, I'll ask people to find out whether what you said is true or not!" Li Xuan didn't believe it all, after all, he still had to find out, so that he could catch them all!
"I see that none of you other than you know martial arts. Who taught martial arts in your village?"

Originally Li Xuan didn't care too much, when he came from the capital, he brought twenty Li Yanxiao's personal guards, all of them were masters in the army, and each of them had the strength of the acquired high-rank.

But it's better to figure out Tanshan's strength first, and it's best to get rid of all the five tigers in Tanshan without any loss. After all, those are all used by the cheap old man Li Yanxiao for his protection.

"Our martial arts are all taught by the boss. I heard that our boss used to be an inner disciple of the Songshan Sect. He used to have the strength of the peak of Houtian, but was injured later. Now it is estimated that he only has the combat power of the top-rank of Houtian."

"Oh?" Li Xuan rubbed his chin and said to himself, "Songshan sect! This is a bit difficult..."

Zhang Fu'an, the boss of the Tanshan Five Tigers, was from the Songshan School. If he was a deserter of the Songshan School, he would be killed if he was killed.

But if it wasn't an abandoned disciple, but the Songshan faction specially arranged here, then the Songshan faction had other plans in Suzhou.

Li Xuan cleaned up the Tanshan Five Tigers and would definitely offend the Songshan faction.

"You said that your boss, Zhang Fu'an, was sent by the Songshan School? Then do you know what arrangements the Songshan School has in Suzhou?"

"I don't know about these, and our boss didn't tell us."

"What about the others? What is the level of martial arts of the others?"

"In our Tanshan, the military division is the most mysterious. On the surface, he looks like a frail scholar, but I feel that he is definitely not simple."

"My martial arts are the lowest, and it's because I'm a little older that I rank third. The fourth son is the top-ranked one, and the fifth one is the middle-ranked one. They are all stronger than me."
