Chapter 276: Brothers as Vicious as Scorpions
Yu Shengsheng felt that he must have seen this dark pattern somewhere before.
However, because it was mostly used by men, she didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't think about it for a while.
When this person came in, Cheng Zishan immediately went to greet him.
"Master, I caught a new one."
The Taoist priest seemed to be looking at her. Yu Shengsheng felt a chill in her heart, noticing these two cold gazes, which were as cold as ice and without warmth. They were indeed looking at her as if she were a commodity.
"Is it her?"
When this person spoke, Yu Shengsheng immediately recognized that his voice was muffled and strange, and did not sound like a normal voice.
Moreover, from the sound of this, it seems that you know her?
Yu Shengsheng’s mind quickly flashed through the names of men she knew, but she didn’t know who he was.
The Taoist priest walked to the chair and sat down, increasing the distance and changing the angle. Yu Shengsheng, who was lying on his side on the ground, could also see the man's appearance.
He was wearing a black robe with a belt around his waist and a purse at his side.
He wore an animal head on his head, which was very similar to the one Yu Shengsheng wore before.
No wonder his voice sounded a bit muffled.
When meeting people in the mansion, he had to wear an animal head mask, which showed that he was very cautious.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She had finally risked her life to come here, but all she could see was a hood.
How can I be willing?
At this time, the Heavenly Master asked, "She is not an ordinary person. It is risky to capture her."
Cheng Zishan smiled lightly and bowed, "Master, don't worry. She just gained some influence. Once she leaves, the influence will dissipate. No one will investigate."
"Besides, didn't you say you wanted some pretty, high-end stuff? She is it."
The Taoist priest looked at Yu Shengsheng again and did not refute this point.
Cheng Zishan was secretly delighted when she saw that the Taoist priest agreed.
The Heavenly Master asked, "How is the task assigned to you going?"
"Master, I was just about to report this matter. The manor has been taken over by Yu Shengsheng. Once she disappears, the manor will definitely be taken over by the Su family. Then I can go there openly and I won't have to worry about not having opportunities."
The Heavenly Master said slowly, "What I want is not the manor. Compared with the value of that piece of land, what is a manor worth?"
Yu Shengsheng listened and said, "I don't want the manor, what I want is the iron ore on that piece of land."
"You're right. My plan is to take over the farm and then take over the land. I'm not like that idiot Cheng Ziheng, who would make a big fuss about something that can be solved with some money."
The Heavenly Master seemed to laugh: "He is dead."
Cheng Zishan didn't look sad at all: "Even if he died, it wouldn't change the fact that he was an idiot."
The Taoist priest extended his hand. Cheng Zishan showed joy on her face. She walked forward quickly, lifting up her skirt and extending her hands respectfully.
The Taoist priest opened his palm and something fell out of it and landed in Cheng Zishan's palm.
Cheng Zishan clenched her hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Master."
The Heavenly Master nodded and said, "You are very good. Do your best. After the matter is done, I will definitely help you achieve your wish."
Cheng Zishan's eyes sparkled: "Thank you, Master!"
The Taoist priest waved his hand, signaling the person to take Yu Shengsheng away.
Cheng Zishan volunteered: "Master, I will take her away."
The Taoist priest nodded and did not refuse.
Cheng Zishan walked up to Yu Shengsheng, took out a dagger from her sleeve, and cut the rope on her feet.
"Let's go, Yu Shengsheng, I'll show you a new world."
Yu Shengsheng glared at her angrily, but she didn't care at all. Instead, the angrier Yu Shengsheng got, the happier she became.
Before Yu Shengsheng left the front hall, he looked back at the Taoist priest. He was still sitting there and his face could not be seen.
Yu Shengsheng felt quite regretful.
Is this a wasted trip?
Walking through the moon gate to a nearby courtyard, Yu Shengsheng felt a little chilly as soon as he entered the courtyard, and couldn't help shivering.
What surprised her was that there were many flowers planted in the yard. The flowering period had long passed, but the flowers here were in full bloom.
Colorful and blooming in the moonlight, they are the faces of beauties that have come to life.
Yu Shengsheng didn’t think it was beautiful. Instead, she felt it was very strange and indescribable.
But the flowers were not the place where Cheng Zishan wanted her to linger, so she pushed her forward to the main house.
The door was ajar, and a little light came through from inside, like the light of a knife hidden in the darkness, ready to strike at any time.
Yu Shengsheng felt increasingly uneasy.
Cheng Zishan pushed her closer and pushed the door open.
The door creaked open.
There was a damp air and an indescribable smell in the air. Yu Shengsheng couldn't help but frown.
However, the next moment, she forgot to frown and was stunned by the scene before her.
There was nothing furnished in the room except for two pools. The one on the left contained bright red water, like a pool of blood, and there was faint steam coming out of it.
There were several women in the pool, with only their heads showing, their long hair floating in the water, their skin as white as paper, their eyes closed, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
When Yu Shengsheng first saw this scene, she would have almost screamed out in fright if she hadn't had something in her mouth.
In the silent night, in the blood-red pool, and in the black hair and white faces of several women...
Yu Shengsheng broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and his heart was beating violently in his chest.
She calmed herself down and looked at the other side of the pool. The color there was dark red, and there were also several women there, with their eyes closed.
I don't know what the difference is between the two.
Cheng Zishan had been observing her expression, but she was so frightened just now that she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What? Are you scared? Aren't you very capable? You can even find a fake headpiece to trick me."
"Yu Shengsheng," Cheng Zishan grabbed her hair, "If it weren't for you, the Cheng family wouldn't have fallen to this point. How could it be so difficult for me to do something?"
Yu Shengsheng whimpered, but her eyes showed no sign of weakness as she stared at Cheng Zishan.
"Okay, let me hear what you have to say."
Cheng Zishan took the food out of her mouth, and Yu Shengsheng took a few breaths.
"Cheng Zishan, you said that I harmed the Cheng family. Then, let me ask you, who cooperated with the so-called Heavenly Master, and who asked Cheng Ziheng to seize the land from those two families?"
"Also, why did Cheng Ziheng have a fire starter on him when he came out of prison?"
"I heard that you went to see them the night before they were exiled from Beijing. You gave them some banknotes. You were also the one who gave Cheng Ziheng the fire starter, right?"
"Cheng Zishan, you are indeed smart and have a good grasp of human nature, especially your brother. You know him so well that you can almost predict all his plans."
"You know, with Cheng Ziheng's temper, if he sees me at the manor, there will definitely be a conflict, and I will definitely not be forced by them."
"So, you have long anticipated that Cheng Ziheng would take revenge on me and Zhuangzi because of his extreme bias."
"I don't have knives or daggers, which are easy to be discovered and arouse suspicion. Only fire sticks can kill people, but no one will care."
"In fact, you had expected that he would die, and it wasn't Su Zhiyi who told you, right?"
Cheng Zishan stared at Yu Shengsheng for a while, and suddenly smiled.
