Chapter XXII
"What's going on?" Wu Jiaotou only felt that his whole body was soft into a ball of mud, and exclaimed, "Could it be that you have drugged the tea?" β
"No, she ate all those dishes, why is it okay?"
Dong Rong ignored the panicked appearance of the three people, took out the dagger in her boots and stepped forward to cut the rope, and tied the hands and feet of the three of them tightly, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and then shook off the food hidden in her sleeve.
Sect Leader Wu knew that he was defeated, his eyes were red with hatred, and he asked in a low voice, "How did you find out that something was wrong?" β
Dong Rong smiled coldly, sat down again, and then said, "I know best what my son's temper is. Brother Ming is the most naughty and likes to fight unevenly, Brother Qi is steady, if he hadn't found something wrong, he would never have left the guards and left with his younger siblings, this is one of them. Second, when the three of you saw me, you all looked a little panicked. And I opened and closed my mouth to be happy that I was safe and sound, but I didn't say a word about how the prince was, isn't this weird? The most important thing is that you thought that your conspiracy had succeeded, and that your true nature was revealed too soon. β
Wu Jiaotou's scorched yellow eyes quickly turned around, and he had already changed the way when he spoke again.
"O owner, please be merciful and spare the life of the old slave. The old slave was also forced, and we were all poisoned, and if we didn't obey orders, we would die of rotting stomachs. I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a few months old child at home, and the old slave is dead, and they will not survive. Wu Jiaotou tried his best to arch his body and kowtow and beg for mercy, but he didn't have any strength at all, but tossed his hair in a bun. The cloak was scattered, and the snot and tears were smuggled on his face, how pitiful he looked.
Wu Si and Wu Liu glanced at each other, and also opened their mouths and cried, "Dongjia, I have only been married for half a year, and my daughter-in-law still has a child in her belly who has not been born, I don't want to die." Owner, we were wrong, we don't dare anymore. β
"The owner, as long as you spare the little one's life, the little one will definitely repay your great kindness."
Dong Rong looked at them like this coldly, and she didn't relent, and scolded loudly, "At this time, you still have to make fun of me, hum!" At this time, you are at a disadvantage, if it is me, will you let me go? You have old people and children in your family, so you can't die? And what about me, my three children, am not afraid of death! β
Wu Jiaotou and Wu Si and Wu Liu were shut up, and they all pitifully hooked their heads and did not speak. Dong Rong also lost his patience, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it the table, and threatened in a low voice, "Let me ask you, is the prince alive or dead, is there any news?" Where are the three children now? Why did Maitreya suddenly assassinate him, and who was behind it? β
"This," Wu Jiaotou's eyes rolled again, obviously pondering how to lie. Dong Rong hated it very much, she treated them so trustingly, so she put the comfort of the three children in their hands. If it weren't for the three children's cleverness and fast running, they wouldn't have known what they had suffered by sending them to Maitreya at this time, and they might have lost their lives a long time ago.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Wu Jiaotou's left eye. Wu Jiao's headache howled, even his weak and weak body actually rolled around under the stimulation of severe pain.
Wu Si and Wu Liu were shocked and frightened, although they were not as early as Wu Jiaotou to go to the island, but they also joined the secret camp for six or seven years, and they have always heard that the female owner has a good way to make money and is kind and kind, so they are not afraid of being arrested today. But at this moment, seeing the knife rise and fall, the head of the sect became a one-eyed dragon, and they were really afraid.
Dong Rong tried her best to endure the nausea, pulled out a dagger and wiped it on Wu Jiaotou's shirt, and asked sharply, "Do you want to say it?" If not, don't blame me for taking your other eye! β
"I say, I say!" Wu Jiao had a headache and gasped heavily, and he hated it in his heart, but now that he was unforgiving, he could only give in, "The owner spares his life, I have said it all, I have said it!" β
"Speak quickly!"
"The owner, after the three little masters ran away, there was really no news. The three of us searched the nearby state capital, but we couldn't find it. As for the prince, there is no news from the prince! You don't know what happened to him with you, and I don't know either! Wu Jiaotou said quickly and urgently, and in the end, he was afraid that Dong Rong would not believe it, so he hurriedly dragged two subordinates, "If the owner doesn't believe it, ask the two of them, we really don't know the whereabouts of the prince!" β
He struggled like this, and the wound was affected, and blood was dripping from his eyes, and he kept pumping in pain.
Wu Si and Wu Liu were afraid that they would also suffer, so they hurriedly opened their mouths and echoed, "Dongjia, we really don't know the whereabouts of the prince. The general altar said that we had arrested three little masters and sent them to them, and they also had to help search for the owner, but there was no news of the prince. Xu is the prince has died a long time ago! β
"Impossible, the prince must be alive!" Dong Rong has tried her best not to think about Murong Huaide's whereabouts these days, not because she firmly believes that he must be alive, but because of a deception. It seems that as long as he doesn't say it, he will live silently, but Wu Si and Wu Liu have broken through this kind of self-deception without choosing a word.
Annoyed, she swung her dagger and slashed them twice in the legs.
Liu Sanye also chose this dagger in the first place and sent it to Dong Rong for self-defense, and the sharp Cheng dΓΉ is not comparable to ordinary iron.
Dong Rong didn't feel how to exert himself, but the wound was half a foot long and two inches deep, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Wu Si and Wu Liu screamed in pain, regretting that they wanted to knock down their mouths full of teeth, saying that it was not good, how could they say that the prince was dead.
Dong Rong was also a little frightened, and the hand holding the dagger was a little trembling, but Xu did too many bad things, and it was inevitable that he would become numb. She calmed down again and continued to ask the three of them, "If you want to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, just say it quickly!" Who is the leader of the Maitreya Sect, is there any collusion with the DPRK and China, and why is he protected by the government everywhere? β
When Wu Jiaotou heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and simply pretended to be in pain and fainted. Wu Si and Wu Liu also closed their mouths tightly and stopped talking, and surprisingly became diehards.
Dong Rong hated it so much that she didn't hesitate to stab Wu Jiaotou's other eye again.
"Ahh Wu Jiaotou screamed even more, this time it was a really painful fainting. Dong Rong didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Wu Si and Wu Liu viciously, "If you don't say it, you will end up with him!" β
Wu Si and Wu Liu were originally afraid of the punishment of Maitreya, worried that they would be settled by the Queen of Autumn in the future, and they were also sure that Dong Rong was soft-hearted and could not really harm the lives of the two. But at this moment, seeing that Wu Jiaotou was already blind, and their legs were also bleeding continuously, they were really scared.
The two scrambled to explain, "Owner, the Maitreya Sect Leader has always been masked in front of people, and no one knows who he is!" β
"Yes, yes, we've only seen one Dharma Protector. I heard that the Maitreya sect leader obeyed the orders of a noble person in the palace, and he had great powers. used money to buy a lot of officials, and some of them were matched by the nobles in the palace. We're just kids, we don't know what's going on! β
The nobles in the palace, is it the queen mother or the little emperor? Dong Rong frowned fiercely, for fear that what the two of them were telling was not the truth, she slashed the two of them twice on their arms ruthlessly, but the two of them trembled in pain and never changed their words. She had to change the question again, "Who else in the camp rebelled with you?" β
"The owner, we are all one-line contacts, and we have always been ordered by the general altar, we really don't know who else is all the way!"
"It's, it's just, the owner, we really don't know. Spare your life, stop the bleeding for us, and if it continues to flow, I will die. I still have a wife and children at home! β
Dong Rong ignored the cries of the two, picked up the teapot and woke up Wu Jiaotou, taking advantage of his sore brain, he asked Fang Cai's question again, and the answer was much the same. She felt that these three people had no value in squeezing again, so she began to think about how to deal with the situation in order to maximize her safety.
In fact, killing them all with a knife is of course the most crisp and neat. But she has never killed anyone in her life, and she can't do it in the end. But you can't let them go lightly, even if it's a warning to everyone. The person who betrays the master does not end well, and she Dong Rong is not soft-hearted.
Thinking like this, she found a piece of clothing, divided it into three parts, plugged the mouths of each of them, and then ruthlessly cut their tendons. Even if they are lucky to be found after dawn, even if they die without bloodshed, at least they can't go out and continue to harm people in the future. Especially Wu Jiaotou, a blind man with crippled legs, it is really more difficult to live than to die.
It was the first time for her to pick someone's hamstrings, and it was inevitable that her attack would be unfavorable, and it hurt so much that Wu Jiaotou's three screaming voices were hoarse. If they can jump, I believe they will kill her without hesitation to take revenge. But it's a pity that the boat capsized in the gutter, and he was arrested if he couldn't calculate, and such an end seemed doomed.
When Dong Rong left the courtyard, it was already half past night, she covered the door of the courtyard and quietly ran back to the inn where she had stayed before. The old shopkeeper didn't know whether he was grateful for taking advantage of Dong Rong with those seafood before, or if he was really kind, and he actually kept a young man at the back door. Dong Rong entered the door smoothly, thanked the young man for a few pennies and then went back to the room.
She didn't dare to sleep anymore, thinking about what to do in the future, and finally waited until dawn to settle the house payment and hurried to find the carriage and horse shop.
Don't talk about Dong Rong, just say that this season is now in November. The land south of the Yangtze River is not so cold, but the north is snowing heavily, dripping into ice. Qingxian, which is two thousand miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, came to a convoy from afar on the official road on this day, and there were more than a dozen large and small carriages, and the boxes and cages on the cars were full, showing that they had just returned from the south. In the first carriage, in addition to the coachman, there was also an old shopkeeper in a leather jacket sitting on the wheel.
The convoy rushed all the way forward, and soon turned a hill, and saw that the city wall of Qingxian County was in front of him, and the old shopkeeper turned his head and shouted loudly into the carriage, "Da Lang, Erlang, you should get off." βR638
