163 Kill Her
The leader of the group kicked a rock hard, and an empty space suddenly opened from the middle and split into two, revealing a hole in the ground. The group of people went straight into the hole, the hole closed after they all went in.
Lin Zhiqing followed behind with a hint of confusion. Why would song Yuancheng, a prefect, build such a secret dungeon? And it seemed that those people were not simple either.
Jian Qingqing was carried down a long flight of stairs. When they finally stopped, she almost fainted again.
Jian Qingqing did not expect that there were so many people underground. She squinted her eyes and could not see clearly, but there were about thirty people.
“Yo, Shen Ji, you’re finally back. What took you so long?”
Shen Ji was the leader of that group. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t want to talk about it. They stayed in the largest inn in the city. It took them some time to go in. I didn’t expect to have so much trouble capturing two brats.”
Zhang Meng looked at Jian Qingqing who was carried on his shoulder and said, “Give me the girl.”
Shen Ji said in surprise, “What do you want?”
Zhang Meng touched the knife on his waist and sneered, “Master asked me to chop off her head and give it to Lord Liu.”
“What?!”
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Zhang Meng asked in puzzlement, “Why? Are you not willing?”
The person who was carrying Jian Qingqing said hesitantly, “What enmity does Master have with her? She is a delicate girl, and we have never killed such a thing. It won’t be good if rumors get out.”
Zhang Meng sneered and said, “What rumor? Haven’t we killed many people? Who would know if it doesn’t get out? We just need to complete Master’s task.”
That person thought about it and agreed. He directly handed Jian Qingqing to Zhang Meng, but was stopped by Shen Ji.
Zhang Meng said unhappily, “Shen Ji, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to disobey Master’s orders?”
Shen Ji said indifferently, “We haven’t eaten yet. If we kill her now, the place will reek of blood later. How are we going to eat if we lose our appetites?”
Zhang Meng laughed and said contemptuously, “Why? I haven’t seen you lose your appetite in front of corpses. Why have you become so pretentious now? Don’t tell me you don’t want to kill her?”
“How can that be? Anyway, a little girl can’t do anything. So what if we kill her after eating? It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Zhang Meng stared at him suspiciously for a long time. In the end, he did not see anything. He retracted his gaze and said, “That works too.”
Everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere just now had really made them tremble in fear.
They were divided into two teams. Zhang Meng and Shen Ji were the leaders of the two teams. The two of them had never been on good terms with each other. No, it should be said that Zhang Meng looked down on Shen Ji, so he always liked to find trouble with Shen Ji. Just now, they were really afraid that the two of them would fight.
The two people carrying Jian Qingqing and Xiao Ye threw them casually in a corner and shouted, “Go, go! Let’s drink!”
Jian Qingqing lay on the ground and quietly twisted her arm that was hurt from the fall. She let out a sigh of relief. Just now, she was really afraid that the person would kill her. Her heart had been tense. If those people wanted to make a move, she would chop him with a kitchen knife. At worst, they would perish together. Now, Shen Ji had bought some time for her.
She quietly opened her eyes and observed her surroundings. She did not know whether these people were too confident or did not think that she was in danger. They did not even tie the rope for her. They threw her here and went to eat. No one paid attention to this place.
