"How is it? What's the surname of this man?" Liu Qin said with a sinister look on his face: "You choose whether to walk up or let the brothers carry you up."
Anyway, no matter what, we have to enter this bandit's den.
Zheng Qi never thought that he, a second-rank official of the imperial court, would be taken to the mountain by the snow bandits.
He was imprisoned in a cell in the mountain stronghold, opposite Zhang Hu.
Every day at mealtime, Zhang Hu would be taken away by the snow bandits, and he would eat the meals brought to him by the snow bandits.
From time to time, he could smell the aroma of meat outside. He looked at the few limp vegetable leaves on the plate and drooled.
That day, when Xiao was having dinner, Zhang Hu was taken away. He was really curious and asked, "Where are you taking him?"
Zhang Hu heard this and sighed, "Mr. Zheng knows something and has some cooking skills. Whenever the cook in their village is sick, they will ask him to cook a few dishes."
As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, he heard the snow bandit angrily say, "Are you still leaving? Why are you talking so much here? Do you want to be beheaded like those people before you?"
Hearing this, Zhang Hu hurried out.
Zheng Qi looked at his back, moving his lips but saying nothing.
The moment the cell door closed, he thought dejectedly, if only he had been so impulsive that day, now the only person he could count on was Xu Zimo, who did nothing all day long.
As soon as Zhang Hu walked outside, he was taken to the back yard.
In the past few days, every meal time, they would take Zhang Hu to the backyard to eat together.
Seeing him coming, Liu Qin quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come in."
"Brothers, you must be polite." Zhang Hu said with a smile, "I feel very proud to be treated with such good wine and delicious food every day."
"Master Zhang, when you are here, just treat it like you are home." Lin Mu looked around and said softly, "See how long this Zheng has been insisting on staying here. Why don't we have a trial today and see what valuable information we can get from him, so that the master doesn't have to make another trip."
Zhang Hu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I still need to consult my master about this matter."
Just then, a chuckle came from above his head: "What do you need instructions for?"
Shang Ruoyi jumped down from the tree.
"Master." Sanzi hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"What did you just say?"
"My Lord, we just talked about the interrogation of Zheng Qi." Liu Qin said, "I'm afraid that old man will insist on staying."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Bring him out to see you."
"yes."
At night, everything is quiet, only the bright lights in the village are on.
Zheng Qi watched as they were dragged away from him one after another like bloody gourds, and he was so frightened that his whole body couldn't stop shaking.
At this moment, an officer walked into the cell opposite him and dragged away Zhang Hu who was sleeping soundly.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Hu said in a trembling voice, "Are you going to make a midnight snack?"
"What midnight snack?" The Snow Bandit laughed grimly, "The boss can find a better cook, so there's no need for you to save money."
Zhang Hu struggled hard for a few times, and the snow bandit impatiently stabbed him with a knife. Zhang Hu's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The two snow bandits dragged him away. When they passed by Zheng Qi, he stopped them tremblingly, "Those two brave men, can I ask what happened?"
"What else could it be?" One of the snow bandits was about to say, but was stopped by another snow bandit: "Why tell him that? He's just an old man, how much can he know? Our village chief wants to ask about something, but anyone can know it."
"Yeah, why waste that time with him?"
Having said that, he ignored him and continued walking forward.
Zheng Qi was shocked. Village leader? Is there a village chief here?
"Wait, wait, two warriors!" He took out a silver note from his shoes and socks and handed it over: "Two warriors, use it to buy some wine. Can you tell me what your village chief wants to ask? What if, what if you know it?"
The two took the banknote with some disdain. One of the snow bandits even held it to his nose to smell it. The smell went straight to his head.
But who would go with silver?
They said impatiently, "Okay, let me just tell you briefly. Our village leader was plotted against by that old thing Shangnian, and was slightly injured. Now, if you can help Shangnian do something wrong, it will be a great achievement."
What is your age?
He looked as excited as before. The two snow bandits looked at each other and one of them said, "Forget it, forget it. He's buried up to his neck in the dirt. What's the point of telling him all this? There are a few more in the cell behind. Catch them and torture them. When they come out, kill them all and then go to the capital to catch them."
The two dragged Zhang Hu farther and farther away, and the sound gradually disappeared.
Zheng Qi sat in the cell, his face gloomy and dim.
Just then, the two snow bandits came over, with blood on their hands and bodies.
They wiped the blood off their hands with a white handkerchief and said with some disdain: "It's really unlucky that we are covered in blood before dying."
"It doesn't matter. There are still a few here. Once we take care of them all, we can rest."
As soon as they finished speaking, they threw the bloody handkerchief on the ground, right next to Zheng Qi's cell. He looked at the blood-stained handkerchief and swallowed his saliva.
The image of Zhang Hu covered in blood appeared in front of his eyes, as if he saw how Zhang Hu was killed.
The last few were dragged out of the cell. When they were leaving, the two snow bandits saw him looking over here and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you're the next one."
What?
He was so horrified that he fell to the ground, his mind going blank.
He recalled the conversation between the two just now: Shangnian has done wrong things over the years.
Originally, I didn't care about life and death, but now it's worth it.
Just as the two snow bandits turned back, Zheng Qi said loudly: "I want to see your village leader! I have something important to tell you."
"What are you talking about?" The snow bandit said coldly, "Can you just go and see our village leader whenever you want?"
"I know all the wrong things Shangnian did. Does your village leader need it?" He said loudly, "I have something very important to tell your village leader."
The two looked at each other for a long while, then sighed, "Well, since you said it's important, we'll give you this chance, but let's be frank, if you say something useless and make our village chief angry and blame us brothers, don't blame us for being polite, I used to be a butcher, I guarantee that after I cut you into pieces, your heart will still beat."
His words made Zheng Qi's heart beat wildly, and he quickly assured: "Your village chief will definitely be interested."
