Chapter 967 (Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven) Let Go
Nie Huihao felt that it would be of no benefit to him to treat his subordinates in front of these people, so he did not express any intention of blaming them, but urged the alchemists to quickly test their faith.
Among the three alchemists, the one who took the letter from Tie Hongyan was named Duan Lu. He read the letter and was shocked. Thinking about the way Nie Huaho spoke to his men before, he felt very uneasy and quickly handed the letter to the alchemist named Gong Binyan without saying anything.
Gongbinyan didn't expect Duanlu to pass the letter to him so quickly. He looked at Duanlu doubtfully at first. Seeing that Duanlu wanted to let go of the letter quickly, he felt a little strange, but he thought that sooner or later he would He also wanted to read the letter, so he took it. After reading the letter, he glanced at Duan Lu again and found that Duan Lu looked solemn at this time. Then he glanced at Nie Huaho out of the corner of his eye, and then handed the letter to the alchemist named Zhu Jihuai.
Zhu Jihuai looked at a loss after reading the letter. He glanced at Gong Binyan and then at Nie Huaho's men who had brought him here before, but said nothing.
Nie Huihao said: "What are you doing? When are you going to try it with something?"
After the three alchemists looked at each other, Duan Lu said: "Actually... there is no need to try."
"What do you mean?" Nie Huaihao asked.
"It's...very...obvious...you can see it without trying. If...if you try, the result will be the same." Duanlu stammered.
Gong Binyan nodded with his slightly lowered head. Zhu Jihuai on the side said "hmm".
Nie Huiahao said: "You must know what you are here to do."
Duan Lu said: "Yes...but..."
"But what? Just do whatever you are supposed to do." Nie Huahao said.
Duan Lu said: "Today happens to be the Alchemist's Day. If the person who brought me here had not told me that this letter has been read by other alchemists, I would not have dared to come."
Gong Binyan said: "I also heard that it has been seen by other alchemists." Zhu Jihuai said: "Me too."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it or not? Just do what you have to do." Nie Huahao said.
Duan Lu said: "The person who brought me here not only told me... that this letter had been read by other alchemists, but also told me the results of other alchemists' reading. What I heard was clearly... who Know……"
Tie Hongyan looked at the performance of the three people, guessed something, and asked: "Today is the Alchemist's Day. If an alchemist deceives others, he will be punished within an hour, right?"
Duan Lu said: "Yes."
Gongbinyan and Zhu Jihuai also said yes.
Tie Hongyan said: "The three of you have read this letter. Since you can tell it without trying, now please answer me 'honestly'. Is there any evil spirit in this letter?"
Duan Lu said: "If...if I don't answer, can you let me go?"
Tie Hongyan said: "What will happen if you answer?"
"I'm afraid...I'm afraid that if I answer, I will be punished." Duan Lu said.
Tie Hongyan said: "On Alchemist's Day, only alchemists who deceive others will be punished. Isn't it convenient for you to tell the truth?"
Duan Lu said: "Maybe... maybe it won't be good for me no matter whether my answer is the truth or not. If I lie today, I will die within an hour after lying! If... if I don't answer, it won't be good for me." Can you please let me go?”
