Chapter 562 Lying Will Not End Well
It is indeed related to the Song family.
A hint of frost flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
The shopkeeper beside him had red eyes and trembled, "I just hid these things, really, please don't kill me.
I... I don't have a bad heart.
If I were a wicked person, I would…would I still be able to give them food? Right?"
The shopkeeper also felt wronged.
Lin Mo glanced at him and asked, "Since these drug addicts are in so much pain, why don't they commit suicide to find relief?"
After all, they can move freely, so theoretically it would be easy for them to commit suicide.
Find a high place and jump down, or get a rope and stretch your neck.
It's all over now, isn't it?
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, “They don’t dare.
Because their families are in their hands.
The Song family threatened them that if they committed suicide, they would turn their families into medicine men like them.
In order not to implicate their families, they dare not commit suicide at all. They just want others to kill them. In this way, they will be relieved.
But those who kill them will fall into hell and be made into medicine men.
This is why I remind you not to take action.
In addition, the blood and mucus on their bodies are also problematic and cannot be touched.
Someone has touched it before and has become like this.”
…
Lin Mo frowned. What exactly did the Song family want to do by using people to test the medicine?
Qi Zhenghuan, who was standing by, also frowned. "Do you know what the medicine they give people does?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Sir, aren't you embarrassing me by saying this?
I am just an ordinary citizen. How could I know what their medicine is used for?
But I know one thing, that is, those who gave up are all failures.
It is said that no experiment has been successful so far."
At this point, the shopkeeper sighed deeply, "I'm afraid that everyone in our town will be doomed."
Lin Mo came back to her senses, her eyes fell on him, and she suddenly spoke:
"Then why don't you leave here?
Or, why don’t you go to the authorities?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the shopkeeper became nervous.
He looked outside in fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were only snowflakes flying in the sky and no one else.
“Madam, you don’t know this, do you think we don’t want to?
There are many spies of the Song family in this town. Anyone who dares to leave will end up dead.
Complain to the authorities? A more miserable death.
Qinghe City belongs to the Song family. Who dares to go against them?
So we can only hold on to the tail and behave ourselves."
Lin Mo frowned. The Song family really had all the power in this area.
Seeing the shopkeeper still kneeling on the ground, he shook his head and said, "Get up."
The shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly stood up. He rubbed his legs and smiled bitterly:
“Master, Madam, I originally didn’t intend for you to stay in a hotel, and I even advised you to continue on your journey.
But if you insist on staying overnight, I can't say anything.
I thought that since you were only staying for one night, you wouldn't be able to alarm them for the time being.
I didn't expect to alarm them. For your own safety, why don't you leave here tonight? I'll refund your accommodation fees and other expenses."
After saying this, he looked as if he had lost all desire to live.
Lin Mo crossed her arms, her lips curled up, "What if we don't leave?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
He had said so much, but she didn't leave. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Are you surprised?" Lin Mo smiled brightly, then looked at him sympathetically:
"If we leave now, we'll fall into a trap before we even reach the town entrance, and our fate will probably be no better than theirs.
I say, boss, you are cheating us outsiders, don’t you feel guilty?
Aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night?"
The shopkeeper realized that something was wrong and quickly turned around and rushed towards the door.
But Qi Zhenghuan was faster than him.
He blocked the door first.
He folded his arms across his chest and sneered:
"I told you not to lie to us. Lying will not end well."
The next second, another confidant of Qi Zhenghuan stepped forward and kicked the shopkeeper in the abdomen.
The shopkeeper felt pain, bent down, covered his stomach and wailed in agony.
Qi Zhenghuan said sarcastically, "Do you really think we are fools?
You, are you a spy of the Song family?"
The shopkeeper shuddered, not daring to look at him. "I...I'm not, you're talking nonsense."
"Nonsense?" Qi Zhenghuan shook his head.
“When you drugged me, I just thought you were just running a black shop and stealing money.
I just didn't expect that you were a spy for the Song family. You did all this just to send us over to be used as medicine for the Song family.
You see, the drug you gave us didn't make us unconscious, so you asked someone to lure these drugged people here, and then you ran away with an excuse.
You knew we were not afraid of these people, so you pretended to be scared and ran out to arrange for people to ambush us outside.
And everything you just said was true and false."
The shopkeeper's expression was very ugly, he looked at him in disbelief, "You...how did you know?
Yes or no……"
His eyes fell on the waiter, and he suspected that the waiter had betrayed him.
But the waiter shook his head frantically, it wasn't him, he didn't.
"Tie him up, drag him away and interrogate him thoroughly about everything he knows. Don't let anything slip out." Qi Zhenghuan said with a grim expression.
Before the shopkeeper could say anything, he was dragged away.
Then a miserable scream was heard from the backyard.
Qi Zhenghuan ignored these voices and said with a cold face, "Everyone come out."
Soon, Qi Zhenghuan's people came in.
Qi Zhenghuan brought more than 30 people with him. After they came in, the inn became crowded in an instant.
Lin Mo didn't say anything and took Qinglian to sit on a stool nearby to watch the show.
Qi Zhenghuan is not stupid.
He realized so quickly that someone around him had betrayed and sold him out.
Seeing Qinglian still standing there stupidly, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"Qinglian, sit down. You have to sit down to watch a show, understand?"
Qinglian was stunned for a moment before she sat down calmly.
"Young Madam, do you think Patriarch Qi can find this traitor?"
"He's not stupid." Lin Mo picked up the teacup:
“It’s just a matter of finding a traitor, it won’t be difficult for him.
If he just thinks about it carefully, he will find clues."
After saying that, she took a sip of hot tea with a look of satisfaction on her face.
To be honest, she was a little uncomfortable with the quietness these days, but now it’s normal!
After all, she has a disaster-prone physique. Wherever she goes, something happens.
Qi Zhenghuan didn't say anything.
He stood there with a stern face, looking at these people with cold eyes.
After looking around, his eyes became even colder:
"Do you know why I asked you all to come here?"
At this moment, his confidant brought him a stool, and he sat down, sneering:
"You all know how I deal with traitors. If you have done anything wrong, please come forward and don't bring trouble to your family."
As soon as he said this, the servants of the Qi family looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, someone couldn't help but step forward:
"Master, has something happened? Can you please explain?"
"That's right, Master, did someone betray you and reveal your whereabouts?"
"Who dares to do such a treacherous thing?"
…
Looking at the people who were suspicious of each other, Qi Zhenghuan said nothing.
Instead, he took the tea brought by his confidant and drank it slowly, trying to keep the audience on tenterhooks.
Lin Mo watched this scene with interest. It seemed that Qi Zhenghuan was still very strict in controlling his subordinates.
Without him doing anything, his men had already started analyzing who was suspicious.
Qinglian had already taken out some snacks and placed them on the table silently.
Seeing her eating happily, Qinglian smiled.
The young lady hasn't let her mouth be idle recently. She stuffs food into her mouth whenever she has free time. It's really nice.
And at this moment, the Qi family also had the answer.
It was a plain-looking and relatively thin man named Qi Ming. Everyone kept their distance from him at this moment.
Qi Ming looked at Qi Zhenghuan with a wronged expression, "Master, it wasn't me. Please believe me, I would never do anything to betray the young master."
Qi Zhenghuan continued to drink tea nonchalantly.
But he didn't need to say anything, as others started questioning him.
"You didn't? Then can you explain to everyone what you did when you went out last night?"
"That's right, you've been acting sneaky lately, which makes people suspicious!"
…
Qi Zhenghuan looked up and said, "You are responsible for collecting information. Why didn't anyone tell me about Anhe Town?"
Qi Ming's face turned pale. "Master, I can explain."
"Drag it away, I don't want to hear any nonsense." Qi Zhenghuan said coldly:
"Send the news back, cross out the Qi Ming family's names from the family tree, and drive them out of the village. As per the old rules, men will have one leg broken, and women will have one hand crippled!"
