"What should we do now? Do we still follow the original plan?"
"That's a bit of a fuss, isn't it? One thousand people against thirty?" someone sneered.
"I think fifty people are enough!"
Officials were talking a lot.
The big man suddenly smiled.
The officials immediately stopped talking and held their breath.
"This is also very good. It saves us a lot of effort." The big man said.
The officials nodded.
"When the message is sent out, it must be done in such a way that no one is left alive." The big man said again.
After finishing speaking, he sneered again: "Thirty people? Haha!"

Zhou Zhongkang led the imperial guards on their way according to Shen Ning's plan. They rushed all the way and finally arrived at a lake before sunset, and then set up camp.
The imperial guards began to arrange a vigil, but Zhou Zhongkang waved his hand and said, "No need."
Everyone was stunned and looked at him.
"It's Miss Shen's order," Zhou Zhongkang said.
The three words "Miss Shen" were like a magic spell. As soon as they heard these three words, the imperial guards who had objections immediately fell silent.
"Come here, Miss Shen has a secret plan."
Zhou Zhongkang waved to the Imperial Guards to come closer, raised his eyebrows, and said something in a low voice, which surprised all the Imperial Guards.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but said: "Is this really what Miss Shen means?"
"It's not Miss Shen's clever idea. Do you think I can figure it out?" Zhou Zhongkang asked calmly.
The Imperial Guards were immediately speechless.
"It's getting late, just follow the plan. Let's rest here for two days." Zhou Zhongkang said.
Although the imperial guards were very surprised, when they thought that this was Shen Ning's order, no one raised any objections and went ahead to arrange the arrangements according to what Zhou Zhongkang said.
But they didn't believe it would be useful.
If there is really a danger, how can these thirty people deal with it
Lin Fangyuan has been locked in a prison car. Only two forest guards were responsible for guarding him. The rest were scattered around, wondering what they were doing.
When he was in the prison car along the way, he looked around with a pale face and muttered, and no one could hear what he said clearly.
"I'm dead, I'm really dead this time."
This was what he kept saying.
If he had a choice, he would rather choose to stay with Shen Ning and follow the imperial guards, so that at least his life could be saved before going to the capital.
Therefore, in response to Shen Ning's cross-examination, he told everything he knew.
Because he knew that he might not be able to hide his little thoughts from that little girl whose eyes were as bright as pearls. He was far smarter to tell the truth than to lie.
In fact, this is proven to be the case.
As long as he had the slightest bit of concealment or was not telling the truth, Shen Ning would be able to tell immediately, and he would be so frightened that he would break into a cold sweat and never dare to tell a lie again.
At the end of the cross-examination, he was even worried that his confession would not be honest enough, so he kept racking his brains to try to explain something more.
It's a pity that he doesn't know much.
What he fears most is that he has lost his value, and what he fears most is that the imperial envoy will send someone to escort him to the capital.
As long as he arrives in the capital, he is afraid that his head will fall to the ground.
What he was most worried about was that if he could not reach the capital, he would die on the way without any reason.
