Ying Yi and Li Qing entered upon hearing the sound. Lu Qing Wan immediately instructed, "Interrogate these people at once. Find out their purpose for coming here and what they have done while they were here.
Those who are traitors to the nation like Liang Jiu Xiao are to be executed on the spot and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
As for those who were merely developing the things in the laboratory outside and have not committed murder, find a place to house them collectively, and I will deal with them personally."
As she finished speaking, Si Feng Wu also walked in and added, "These people have unusual origins. During the interrogation, use truth serum throughout, and do not let anyone else interfere.
You two work hard. After this, I'll give you a month off."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Si Feng Wu's subordinates lacked neither gold nor jewels, nor did they lack fame and official positions if they desired them. What they lacked was time.
They spent the entire year bound to their two masters, with no time for themselves.
A month's rest was a reward comparable to a thousand taels of gold, and both of them were overjoyed.
The transmigration travelers, upon hearing Lu Qing Wan and Si Feng Wu's words, finally realized whose hands their fate was in.
Especially those with guilty consciences, who became extremely flustered upon hearing about the truth serum.
"We are not from this world! You have no right to punish us with the laws of this world!
Let us go! You have no right to use truth serum on us!"
Having been imprisoned by Liu Han Yan and Meng Fu Yuan, most of these people had done some bad things.
The moment they heard about the truth serum, they became agitated.
Lu Qing Wan said coldly, "I gave you a chance, and you rejected it.
Never mind that you are not from this world. No matter where you are, if you do evil to others, you must bear the consequences.
Rest assured, I am more familiar with the laws of two different worlds than you are. The laws of ancient and modern China, of the Southern Qi, and even a part of the laws of the three southeastern kingdoms are all in my heart.
I will never wrong a good person, nor will I let a bad person go free."
Lu Qing Wan uttered this classic line, but those people became even more enraged.
"Lu Qing Wan!
You are also from the new world, how can you become an accomplice to a feudal dynasty!
Are you not afraid of disheartening your family in the Heavenly Dynasty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qing Wan became instantly energized. "This person actually recognizes me?
Tell me, how do you know me?"
The man's eyes flickered. "You... you, a guardian of the Heavenly Dynasty, are actually associating with feudal remnants, you..."
As soon as the dogmatic and condescending theory came out, Lu Qing Wan burst into laughter.
She kicked him in the jaw. "I've been calling you stupid for eight hundred years, but you refused to admit it.
You caused my entire team to be annihilated, and you still dare to lecture me here. Did you ever consider how I would deal with you?"
No one knew how hard Lu Qing Wan had kicked. The man's jaw was twisted on the spot.
Lu Qing Wan turned to Si Feng Wu. "This idiot, with no ability whatsoever, wanted me and my partners to be his lackeys.
He deliberately concealed information, causing four of us six people to die.
Based on my understanding of this scoundrel, he's definitely been up to no good all these years. Hand him over to Gui Shou to deal with. Squeeze him dry!
Once he's squeezed dry, be done with him!"
The man instinctively called out Lu Qing Wan's name, and at that moment, he realized he had been foolish. Perhaps he shouldn't have revealed that he knew Lu Qing Wan.
After all, his past with Lu Qing Wan was not pleasant.
Indeed, before he could find any excuse, Lu Qing Wan had already clearly decided his fate.
What's more, after Lu Qing Wan spoke, Li Qing added, "But Consort, didn't you say this old man has no ability?
Then why hand him over to Gui Shou?
Wouldn't it be more suitable to send him to Gui Hua City to be a laborer, to move bricks or dig dirt?"
Li Qing's trust in Lu Qing Wan was absolute. Lu Qing Wan said the man had no ability, so Li Qing assumed he was a complete waste.
However, his remark caught Lu Qing Wan off guard.
She paused for a moment, then slowly replied, "Well, he's not entirely useless.
I don't know how to put it precisely, but his work nature is similar to Gui Shou's. Handing him over to Gui Shou should be able to help us a lot."
Li Qing had only asked instinctively. Upon receiving Lu Qing Wan's vague explanation, he didn't ask further and directly ordered people to escort the man away.
As the man realized what was happening, he struggled frantically. "Lu Qing Wan, you are harming your fellow disciples! You will face retribution..."
He cursed a few times, but Lu Qing Wan didn't spare him another glance.
Knowing that he would never see Lu Qing Wan again once he left this stone chamber, he quickly changed his strategy.
"Lu Qing Wan, even if you don't care about the notoriety of harming your fellow disciples, aren't you curious about how you got here?
Poor old Lu, a renowned national physician, ended up with his bones scattered for your sake. Little does he know that the granddaughter he sacrificed himself to save is such an ungrateful wretch!
And your associate, Ling She, dared to oppose the state apparatus for the sake of you fools..."
Mid-sentence, the man was grabbed by the throat from a distance by Lu Qing Wan. "Say that again. What happened to my grandfather and Xiao She?"
At that moment, Lu Qing Wan's eyes churned with fury, and the killing intent emanating from her forced Feng Zi Yi to circulate energy to protect herself.
Si Feng Wu gently held her hand while softly coaxing, "Calm down, A Wan. You can interrogate him whenever you want to know anything. Don't get angry.
If you get angry, you'll be playing right into his hands."
Anyone with eyes could see that this man was deliberately provoking Lu Qing Wan.
In fact, he had indeed managed to provoke her.
Therefore, even though Lu Qing Wan was choking him and he was having trouble breathing, he said arrogantly, "The reason you are here is because old Lu exhausted his lifelong learning and passed on the medical laboratory to you.
You were just an ordinary special agent before. You wanted to send these people back to their original world, right?
Give me the medical laboratory, and I will tell you what old Lu and your colleagues did for you."
While speaking, Lu Qing Wan had regained control of her emotions.
The man thought he had intimidated Lu Qing Wan and said smugly, "Don't think of using truth serum on me. I've also undergone drug testing. You know, that stuff doesn't work on me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's eyes became unfocused.
Lu Qing Wan then released her grip and said to Li Qing, "I will handle this person for now. You all take care of the others inside."
Li Qing silently obeyed and signaled for the two guards to follow Lu Qing Wan. He then respectfully watched Lu Qing Wan and Si Feng Wu leave the stone chamber.
Feng Zi Yi also followed them out. "Although these people are incredibly stupid, they do know quite a bit. Will it really be alright to leave them to those two secret guards?"
