Chapter Fifty-Three: The Evil Is Manifested, and the False Claims of Meng Wei

The mottled stone walls were uneven, and the damp and filthy air smelled like a rotting corpse crawling out of the cracks in the walls. Piles of hay were spread on the ground www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, messy and disorderly, the iron door was tightly closed, only a dim oil lamp was struggling to burn, this is the scene Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing saw when they woke up, since they were injured by the masked man, they didn't know how long they had been unconscious.

"Brother Ye, where is this? Could it be the Netherworld Mansion?" After all, Zhong Qing is her daughter's house, and when she saw this kind of cold place, she couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the masked man in the rainy night earlier. Although his hands were bound by iron locks, Zhong Qing still moved to Ye Cheng's side, curled up in a ball.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, this must not be some kind of underworld, according to my estimate, it may be a big prison. Ye Cheng stretched out his hand to hold Zhong Qing's hand, and comforted him softly, his own hands and feet were also handcuffed by iron locks, and he felt that his skin was scorching.

"How do you know?" asked Zhong Qing with a wink.

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Have you forgotten? I'm a person who has been on death row in Yingtianfu." ”

Zhong Qing remembered that Ye Cheng had indeed told her about being in Yingtian Prison, but every time she asked why she was in prison, Ye Cheng always talked about him left and right, and refused to explain it happily.

"Even if it's not, then I don't think it's too far away, you look at this place, how much better can it be than that netherworld mansion?" Zhong Qing sighed.

Ye Cheng still felt a faint pain in his chest at this time, and forced himself to look around, but saw that there was no ventilation except for an iron-edged window the size of a cutting board. The door was iron and heavy, and it was impossible to open it from the inside.

Just as Ye Cheng was thinking, suddenly there seemed to be a sound of unlocking outside, Zhong Qing hurriedly hugged Ye Cheng's arm, only to see that after the sound of "squeak", the lower part of the iron door was opened, and a person was forced in from the outside, and his hands and feet were also tied by iron locks.

"Master!" Ye Cheng saw it clearly, the person who was stuffed in was none other than the master who was drunk and too white, so he hurriedly rushed to the front and hugged each other with his hands that were handcuffed together. Zhong Qing also saw that it was Lu Li, and hurriedly came over.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Lu Li was greatly depleted by the sudden blow, this internal injury was obviously not light, at this time he felt that someone was supporting him, but when he raised his eyes, it was apprentices Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing.

"This is really just cleaned up by the sun, but the bright moon is sent to the future. That's it, that's it, this time, we're at home!" Lu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.

can make Drunk Taibai so depressed, it can be seen that this situation is indeed more auspicious. Ye Cheng didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to slowly help Lu Li to sit on a pile of straw first, so as to avoid the cold on the ground.

Zhong Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, didn't your old man look for the old scar on the shore and wait for us, why did he come here?"

Lu Li smiled sadly and said: "The rain is pouring, the old scar is hard to find, I can't wait for you for a while, and I think about not having another accident, so I braved the rain to go back to look for you, who would have thought ......"

Lu Li intermittently recounted how he returned to the village, how he overheard the conversation of the island owner Wei Chong and others, and how he was captured later.

Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing listened quietly and carefully on the side, and couldn't help but sigh. After Lu Li finished speaking, the two also told their own experiences, and then the three of them realized that they were all in the way of the masked man.

"It's the old man's negligence. Boy, you're right, what bullshit Meng Weijun! That old Meng tastes fame and reputation, and now this little Meng tastes even more wolf-hearted dogs! Actually kidnapping children as a transaction is simply a loss of conscience!" Lu Li said angrily, affecting the injury, and couldn't help coughing violently again.

Ye Cheng hurriedly slapped Lu Li's back, and then said: "Master, in this way, we have all met that masked man, who is he?

After hearing this, Lu Li spat heavily and said: "Phew! What should it be, that's categorically not! The six heroes are all people with outstanding martial arts, and they don't disdain to do this kind of thing, and it is not my generation's behavior to hide their heads and tails." Besides, if he is really one of the Six Heroes, that sudden sneak attack is enough to take my life when I am defenseless and completely unprotected by True Qi, but you see, the old man is not dead! ”

Zhong Qing said thoughtfully: "Maybe, that person doesn't want to take your life first?"

Lu Li listened, didn't say anything, just coughed hatefully.

Although Ye Cheng was in adversity, he was not as resentful and depressed as Lu Li, nor was he afraid of Zhong Qing, he was more worried about how to escape from this prison, and he was also very worried about Dai Sigong and the children in the cellar who were waiting to be sold, and of course, there was also the Youling who made him not know whether to pity or hate.

At that moment, there seemed to be another noise outside the door, and then a small hole in the door was opened, revealing a pair of eyes. After looking at these eyes for a while, suddenly only the sound of unlocking was heard, and the door was slowly pushed open, and there was a person standing at the door, and the left ear was tightly bandaged, it was Wei Chong, the owner of Chongming Island.

Lu Li saw that it was Wei Chong, twisted his head to the side, and spat fiercely.

Wei Chong neither moved forward nor was he annoyed, but smiled: "What's the matter, brother, are you still angry with me? Didn't I, the person whose ears were frozen by you, say anything?"

"It's a pity that that palm froze off only your ears!" Lu Li said coldly.

Wei Chong sighed, and at this time, an entourage behind him hurriedly moved a chair, and Wei Chong sat down slowly: "Brother, I know you hate me, but I also have my own troubles." ”

"Do you want to do this unconscionable thing and sell those children?" Ye Cheng sneered beside him.

"Do you know how many people I have on Chongming Island?" Wei Chong asked Ye Cheng instead.

"I don't know how many people there are, but there are a lot of animals. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, several entourages behind Wei Chong then drew their swords out of their sheaths and wanted to step forward, but they were stopped by Wei Chong with a smile.

"On Chongming Island, there are 1,120 doormen and 2,076 soldiers, totaling more than 3,000 people. Do you know that there are more than 3,000 mouths waiting for you to feed him every day in this small land, and I, Wei Chong, am not an immortal, where can I feed so many people......?

"So the Lord of Wei Island has a way to make money and do such a dirty deal?" Ye Cheng teased.

"You don't know that in the South China Sea, there is a Sanfo Island, and the owner of the island, Chen Zuyi, is my friend. He was also a down-and-out man in the rivers and lakes, and was arrested by the government, so he went to the sea to make a living, but it was a blessing in disguise, and he came to Sanfo Island by chance, just when the various tribes on the island were fighting, my brother Chen took advantage of the chaos to capture the island. Wei Chong said slowly.

"He attacked his island, and you are your island master, but what does it matter?" Zhong Qing couldn't help but interject when he heard this.

Wei Chong smiled slightly: "Miss Zhong asked very much, after this Brother Chen captured the island, the casualties were also extremely heavy, and there were not many natives on the island, and there were not many indigens left after years of infighting. As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, Brother Chen can't take some old and weak people who are either disabled or injured to guard the island, not to mention that these three Buddha islands are full of treasures and extremely rich in products, and the owners of the surrounding islands and sea thieves have long coveted it. ”

Ye Cheng, Lu Li, and Zhong Qing listened carefully at this time and seemed to understand something.

At the moment, I only heard Wei Chong pause and continued: " Because of the mutual relationship is very thick, so he went to Chongming Island several times to ask me for help, let me help him lead more people from the Central Plains to Sanfo Island, and promised a lot of money, the two of us are a lack of people, a lack of money, of course, it hit it off, although this thing is a bit excessive, but the children I am looking for are children from poor families, and they suffer with their parents.

Ye Cheng and the others completely understood at this time, it turned out that the captive children were sold to Sanfo Island by Wei Chong and Chen Zuyi as a transaction to multiply and increase the population of the island.

"Lord Wei, I thought that Hong Youtian was already brazen enough, but I never thought that if I compared it to you, it would be really a small thing. You actually kidnapped children, separated them from their flesh and blood, and left their homeland as their good, which can be regarded as letting me Ye Cheng learn the lesson. Although Ye Cheng was very uncomfortable being bound at this time, he was still not afraid at all.

Wei Chong just smiled in his chair and slowly stood up.

"You, the owner of the island, can you still tell us about your dirty deeds, so that you are not afraid that you will be ridiculed by the people in the rivers and lakes in the future?" Zhong Qing said.

"He wouldn't be afraid, because from the moment he decided to tell us, he didn't think about letting us get out of the island alive. Lu Li said calmly beside him.

Wei Chong smiled: "It's still my brother who knows me best, so after the story is over, you should also go on the road." ”

"But thank you for letting the old man recognize you at the last moment. Lu Li said.

Wei Chong sighed and said: "Actually, you don't have to die, I just wanted to force you to be interested and leave the island by yourself when I snubbed you on the top of the main hall, but ......"

Before Wei Chong could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a hurried voice behind him.

"Island ...... Owner, come ...... It's coming!" said one of the minions with a very panicked face, his face covered with sweat, obviously rushing here.

Wei Chong's face was displeased, and he snorted: "What's the fuss about the ship coming, isn't it just a few days early?"

"No...... It's not Lord Chen's boat!" The minions revealed horror in their voices.

Wei Chong was also stunned, and then asked, "Whose is that?"

"Of the court!"
