Chapter 259: Killing is a waste
Zheng Yufu was trembling with anger, but she cherished her life more. "Please, save me. I know I was wrong, and I will never do anything like that again!"
"If you succeed today, and Miss Song begs you to spare her, I'm afraid you won't be soft-hearted."
Ah Lin's words were laced with sarcasm, but Zheng Yufu couldn't refute it. If Song Ci were imprisoned today, she wouldn't relent, she would mock him unscrupulously. She had long since grown tired of everyone desperately trying to protect her.
After a brief silence, her face stiffened. "I won't."
But Alin is not a fool. After following Pei Ji for so many years, he has long seen through people's hearts. People's hearts cannot be looked directly at.
He sneered, "Nonsense, you should be cut into pieces."
Youcai was sweating profusely, and Qingtian, who was supporting him, was trembling. It was obvious that he could not bear it any longer.
"My young master can't bear it any longer, and I beg you to give us the antidote!"
"Antidote? You think I'm running a charity and I gave you drugs just to kill you. Your son has done so many bad things, and you still have the nerve to ask me for an antidote."
"What happened before...we were wrong. As long as you give us the antidote, we can give you anything."
Ah Lin finally showed some interest on his face, "You can give me anything? Then, I want to ask, what do you have?"
Youcai couldn't let Qingtian die, as his life was tied to him. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Hurry up and take out all the things." He quickly went back to the place where he had just been and carried out a few boxes.
Looking at the six boxes piled high on the ground, A Lin scratched his head and shouted towards one place, "Sir, I can't tell what these things are."
Pei Ji then walked over from not far away, his white robe fluttering in the dark forest, and a faint sneer on his handsome face. It was clearly a very beautiful picture, but it made Youcai, Qingtian and others shiver inexplicably.
Besides him, there was actually another person.
Only when they came closer did everyone see clearly that it was actually Song Dynasty porcelain.
Her whole body was wrapped in a wide cloak, revealing only her fair little face with picturesque features. Qingtian was stunned by the sight.
"Still looking." Pei Ji stepped in front of her, blocking Qingtian's view.
Qingtian's eyes darkened, filled with resentment and anger.
Song Ci, who was blocked, blushed. Pei Ji's voice just now was obviously full of jealousy. She looked down at her hand and found that it had been held by the other party without her knowing when. She struggled but couldn't get free.
You can only let the other party do as they please for the time being.
"Open the box."
At Pei Ji's command, the soldiers who were still hiding around no longer hid. They came out from all sides and opened the boxes swiftly. They were immediately dazzled by the things inside the boxes.
It can be said to be dazzling and dazzling.
"This style... doesn't seem to be from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Pei Ji looked at Song Ci intently, remembering that her father was a businessman, so naturally he had more knowledge and experience than ordinary people.
"Can you tell where this thing is from?"
Song Ci nodded and whispered under Pei Ji's gentle gaze, "It looks like something from a foreign country. Only there can be such a large number of emeralds produced there."
Seeing through his plan at a glance, Qingtian's eyes were fixed on Song Ci. He had assumed she was just pretty, but he hadn't expected her to be incredibly intelligent. With just one glance, she'd seen through their origins. His heartbeat was almost uncontrollably pounding.
"Fanbang..." Pei Ji murmured, "I see. You are here to help the emperor reduce the number of foreigners. These things are probably also presented to the high officials and dignitaries in the capital so that they can speak on your behalf in front of the emperor."
Qingtian's face turned pale, covering his wound, "How did you know?"
"Among these items, the most valuable are undoubtedly the large emeralds. Emeralds are fragile and easily shattered if touched. You mined such large, fine emeralds, so of course you intended to present them to the Emperor. The rest... these items are also priceless, but they pale in comparison to the emeralds. These are what you're using to win over the powerful."
Youcai was stunned. There were actually such smart people in the world who could tell what these things were used for with just one glance.
It seems that it was not unfair for our group to fall into his hands.
"Okay, we have given you the things. Where is the antidote?" Youcai asked impatiently.
"Antidote? Do you really think we're stupid? Even if I give you the antidote, you'll definitely seek revenge once your master's poison is removed. Unless, unless you show some sincerity."
Faced with Alin’s difficulties, Youcai almost cursed his father!
"I've given you everything, what else do you want?"
Ah Lin stroked his chin and said, "Sir, what do you think we should order?" In Ah Lin's eyes, these people were like fat sheep. Six boxes. They had just finished fighting. Wouldn't these things come in handy? They could be used to appease the soldiers!
It's really a gift that comes to my door, it would be a shame not to kill it.
If Youcai knew what Alin was thinking, he would definitely vomit blood.
"Since you came here to cut down the number of fans, you must have brought the seal with you."
"You are crazy. I will never give you that thing even if I die! Cough cough cough... Youcai, take me away! This thing cannot be given to them!" Qingtian came back to his senses instantly when he heard the seal.
It was a rare moment of courage for him, which made Pei Ji feel less contempt for him. He had thought he was a second-generation rich man who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, but he didn't expect him to be fearless.
"Since you are not afraid of death, then go ahead and die. You have been poisoned, and you will die in less than half an hour. You must think it through." These words came from Song Ci's mouth, and she spoke in a crisp voice.
It was clearly an extremely pleasant voice, but the words that came out of it were frightening.
Qingtian paused, looking at Song Ci with a complicated look, "It's because of you that I became like this."
"Did I ask you to kidnap me? I told you, do I need you to do this?" Song Ci had long disliked this man. He was clearly plotting against her, and he spoke so affectionately, as if she owed him something.
One can imagine the consequences of being abducted. She had no good feelings towards Qingtian at all.
Qingtian: "I like you! Can't you see it?!"
"She doesn't need you to like her." This time, before Song Ci could even speak, Pei Ji answered first. He asserted his sovereignty, holding Song Ci's hand, and said in a cold tone, "She's been poisoned, and you still won't stop? Slap her in the face."
"Yes!" Alin stepped forward and slapped Qingtian in the face, catching Youcai and Qingtian off guard.
His face was burning with pain, and Qingtian's eyes were red with anger. "Kill me if you want. You might as well let me die if you humiliate me like this."
"Hand over the seal. I will spare your life."
