After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 323 Found the Jade Pendant

They knew that Li Siqi was not someone to be trifled with, so they simply did not resist and begged for mercy.

"Sir, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us. We promise that this will not happen again. We were blind and offended Madam. I hope you will forgive us this time."

Li Siqi was very impatient with their pleas for mercy. He glanced over and the yamen runners standing behind them were very considerate and stepped forward to cover their mouths.

Upon seeing this, Li Siqi slowly said: "I haven't asked you to speak yet, so you'd better shut up. Otherwise, when I'm in a bad mood, I'll like to kill someone to cheer me up." His voice was very gloomy, and combined with the surrounding environment, Li Siqi now sounded like an evil ghost from the underworld, coming to claim their lives.

Some of the more timid evildoers were so frightened that their bodies went limp. If it weren't for the support of the yamen runners, they would have probably collapsed to the ground.

"So, tell me, where did you hide the jade pendant?" Li Siqi was very satisfied with their reaction and asked leisurely. He did not forget what Xu Yingying's purpose of coming to Jun County was.

At this time, Lu Ming also appeared beside Li Siqi, staring at the group of evil people in front of him with a menacing look.

When the evildoers saw the figure suddenly appear beside Li Siqi, they were filled with despair. They had never imagined that Li Siqi was also a psychic.

"Tell me, where is the jade pendant now?" Li Siqi pointed his finger at the evil leader.

His whole body froze for a moment, and a trace of struggle flashed across his face. At this moment, the bailiff behind him pulled out the rag stuffed in his mouth and pushed him.

"What...what jade pendant? I don't know! You've got the wrong person. We don't know anything and have never seen the jade pendant you're talking about!" The leader seemed to have made up his mind and refused to admit it.

"Oh? Really?" Li Siqi sat up straight with interest. "I haven't seen someone as tough as you for a long time. It's really exciting. Do you know what the final result was for the last person like you?"

The leader's pupils suddenly shrank and he felt a chill on his back. He opened his mouth to say something, but his mouth was blocked again. He couldn't say anything and could only make "hmm" sounds.

Li Siqi gave a look to the guard behind him. The other party noticed his gaze, walked forward and took the leader from the yamen runner.

Then two more guards came up, lifted the man up, and one of them took out the whip from his waist and whipped him.

The whip had dense barbs on it. With one lash, the clothes on the man's chest were instantly torn apart. With another lash, his skin burst open directly, and blood flowed out instantly, soaking his clothes.

The other evil sects had never seen such a scene before, and they were shaking like sieves.

"What? Are you scared?" Li Siqi's sarcastic voice reached their ears, "Go on."

But Li Siqi didn't want to let them go. He gave a light order and the whip hit the leader one after another.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the leader was almost dying in pain, but his mouth was blocked and he could not make any sound. At most he could let out a few dull cries of pain.

Li Siqi seemed to think that it was not enough. He waved his hand and two more people came up with two buckets of water. One of the buckets had a lot of chili pepper segments floating on it. It was obviously a bucket of chili pepper water. The other bucket looked a little turbid, and it looked like high-concentration salt water.

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, but the next second, the whip was dipped directly into the salt water bucket, and then it hit the leader again with a lot of salt water.

The salt water would only make the wound more painful, which could be seen from the leader's face. His whole face was red, and veins were bulging on his cheeks and arms. He looked as if he was enduring great torture.

He was repeatedly whipped on the bleeding wound with salt water and pepper water. He fainted from the pain, and woke up again over and over again. After a few rounds, his body stiffened for a moment, then collapsed and there was no movement.

At this time, the executioner stopped his actions, reached out his hand to check the man's breath, and found that he was dead.

He came to Li Siqi's side and reported in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Your Highness, the man is no longer alive."

Li Siqi then turned his gaze to the other people kneeling there, and said calmly: "This is the price of trying to deceive me. Now, is there anyone who can't remember where the jade pendant is?"

Those people looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Li Siqi made an impatient "tsk" sound and gave another strong dose of medicine: "I will only give you one chance, and I will only listen to what you say. If you tell it, I will spare your life. As for the rest of you, he will be your fate." As he spoke, Li Siqi pointed at the tragic corpse.

After staying for a few seconds, Li Siqi saw that no one spoke, so he simply stopped talking. With a gesture, all the evildoers were put on the torture instrument.

This time, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and started struggling frantically. It started with just one or two people, but later it evolved into everyone struggling and twisting, fearing that they would be the next to die.

Perhaps it was the threat of death, one of them burst out with great strength, broke free from the guards who were restraining him, rushed to Li Siqi, and shouted at him frantically.

"Take it away from him."

"Sir! Sir, I know where the jade pendant you are looking for is. Please, don't kill me, don't kill me." The man looked not very old and was timid, so his psychological defenses collapsed immediately.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Siqi signaled the guards to tie up and beat the others.

The man listened to the sound of the whip cutting through the air and hitting the body, and shook for a long time. He said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, the jade pendant is... in the very center of our stronghold, yes, right there, the boss buried it under the tree, under the tree, under the tree." He paused, and continued: "I've told you everything, can you let me go?" There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

After getting the information he wanted, Li Siqi stood up, turned around and left. "Deal with it cleanly." This was the only sentence he left.

The light in the eyes of the man who revealed the whereabouts of the jade pendant instantly went out, and he still wanted to struggle and run towards Li Siqi, but the guards were not willing to give him a second chance to escape. Once they caught him, they hit him on the head with a stick, and his head was instantly broken and bleeding, and he also fainted.
