Chapter 477

Zhan Beihan said: "How do you confirm?"

"If you don't believe it, go and take a look. If the captives were men, those bandits would never be so relieved and would not even leave a guard." Xiao Lingyue sneered and walked towards the houses with big strides.

She remembered the injured middle-aged cook who was sent to which room, so she headed straight for the target.

Zhan Beihan also followed.

Xiao Lingyue walked to the door of the house, stretched out her hand, and the door opened in response.

It was pitch black inside, quiet and silent, and the space was narrow and cramped, almost like a tomb.

Xiao Lingyue took out the fire note she was carrying and blew it, and the flames lit up.

She walked in cautiously and looked at it in the faint light of fire.

The small room was empty, with only a pile of moldy straw in the corner, and cockroaches and small bugs crawling around.

There was a figure lying on the haystack. It was the middle-aged cook. She looked up with her eyes open, looking straight up. She was clearly awake, but silently, like a corpse that refused to close her eyes.

Xiao Lingyue signaled Zhan Beihan to stay at the door. She walked in with a fire note, squatted down, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

The woman didn't move.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Xiao Lingyue originally wanted to say, I'm here to save you.

But when she said that, she saw the woman's numb and dull look, almost the same as a dead person. It may not be important to her if she saves her or not.

Xiao Lingyue changed his statement: "We are the people sent by the court to investigate the situation. The court is ready to eradicate this bandit nest. Are you the people they captured? Can you tell us about the situation in this bandit camp?"

Sure enough, the word "God" is mentioned.

The numb and dull woman suddenly trembled, her eyes turned and she looked at her.

"When those bandits were drinking, I saw it on the roof, and they said they were going to loot the nearby village. You heard this and knocked over the wine pot because you were afraid that they would actually go to that village, right?"

Xiao Lingyue observed her expression and tentatively said, "Are you from that village? Or are you a relative there?"

The middle-aged woman spoke hoarsely: "Are you really a member of the court?"

"I am!" Xiao Lingyue said immediately.

"Are you lied to me?" the middle-aged woman murmured: "The court doesn't care about this place. The bandits killed so many people, and the court doesn't care. Are you lied to me?"

Seeing that the faint spirit in her eyes was about to be completely extinguished, Xiao Lingyue turned her head to fight Beihan and said, "Give me the token!"

The man frowned slightly, pulled off the token from his waist and threw it to her.

Xiao Lingyue caught it and shook it in front of the woman: "This is the token of the government, can you see it?"

She grabbed the woman's hand and held it on the token: "I see clearly, it is engraved with an official seal on it. This should prove my identity, right?"

In fact, what Zhan Beihan is not on the token of the government.

It is the token of the Yi Prince's Mansion.

If you really want to count it, this is more effective than any official token, and no one dares to forge it.

However, Xiao Lingyue was not sure whether this woman recognized her words or not. Maybe she didn't know what the Yi Prince's Mansion was. She said it was an official token, so she might be more likely to believe it.

The woman trembled and reached out to touch her. She really didn't recognize the word "Yi" on the token, but she knew that it was indeed a token created by the government.

She had seen it once in the bandit village and was hung on her body by those beasts as spoils.

Under the faint firelight, the token reflected a dazzling golden light, which suddenly hurt the woman's eyes.
