“Why do you want to capture him?” Ning Yue asked.
“We don’t know about that. We’re only responsible for capturing the person and luring you away. The rest is none of our business,” the robber said.
“Princess, we were wrong. I have an old man and a young child. I live every day to earn a few taels of silver. I wake up early and don’t rest until it’s dark. Please forgive us and let us go,” the robber said.
Ning Yue only wanted to laugh at the robber’s words. “Why didn’t you think of your children when you were doing bad things just now? It seems that if I don’t catch you, you won’t know your mistake, right?”
“Yes, no, no!” The robber was a little incoherent.
“Princess, I only ask you to spare our lives. We can do anything you want,” the robber said tearfully.
This was the capital. The officials were very concerned about the safety of this place. If they were not driven by benefits, they would not risk their lives to make a living.
…..
It had to be known that Ning Yue was not only Princess Mingyue of the Great Yun Nation, but also the legitimate princess of Russia. In addition, that person was not trying to hurt Ning Yuan. He was just asking them to lure Ning Yuie away and capture an old man.
Besides, that person had given them a lot of money. They were only willing to do it when they heard that it was feasible.
“Your Highness, we don’t intend to hurt you. We just want to capture that person. We don’t mean to kill him. Please let us go.”
The robbers said everything they wanted to say. They wanted to kidnap another person, not the current princess. Even if they were guilty, they did not deserve to die.
Ning Yue laughed out loud. “Do you know who he is?”
The robbers looked at each other, not understanding what Ning Yue meant. They looked at her in confusion.
“This person is my master. He taught me how to practice medicine. Do you think I’ll let you off if you capture my master?”
Ning Yue’s words made the robbers despair.
This man was actually Doctor Gu!
Oh my god, even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to capture Divine Doctor Gu. That was a famous divine doctor. There were countless patients who wanted him to treat their illnesses. If they captured him, there would probably be more people who wanted to kill them!
“Your Highness, we were wrong. Please spare us.” The robbers were really flustered.
Ning Yue had no intention of killing these people. She just wanted to get some useful information from them.
Seeing the deterrence effect, Ning Yue stopped scaring them. “Is what you said true? As long as I spare you, I can make you do anything?”
When the robbers heard Ning Yue’s words, hope flashed across their eyes.
As long as they could survive, they were willing to do anything!
“Yes, as long as you spare us, Your Highness, we can do anything!” the robbers quickly said.
“Your Highness, what do you want to know? We’ll definitely tell you everything we know.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Ask away. We’ll definitely tell you everything.”
“What do you want to ask, Your Highness?”
The robbers spoke at once, making Ning Yue frown. They were too noisy!
“Shut up!” Ning Yue shouted.
The entire venue fell silent, and the robbers did not dare to speak again.
“Let me ask you, how much did that person pay you to kidnap him?” Ning Yue asked.
The robbers were stunned. They had thought that Ning Yue would ask a lot of questions and had guessed what she would probably ask. However, they did not expect her to ask such irrelevant questions.
“He gave us five hundred taels of gold,” the man said.
500 taels of gold? Ning Yue was stunned. She did not expect Lian Xin to be so generous.
“Where is this money now?” Ning Yue asked again.
“Princess, we only have 250 taels of gold. That person said that he would give us the remaining 250 taels after the job is done,” the robber said.
“Let me ask you, where’s the money?” Ning Yue said.
“Money…” Speaking of money, the robber looked troubled.
Seeing the robber’s expression, Ning Yue was a little impatient. “Say something. Are you afraid that I’ll rob you?”
“No, that’s not what we meant. We’ve already distributed the money. We all have old and young people to take care of. After the money was distributed, we gave it to our families,” the robber said..
