Chapter 336 Terrified
"How is it? What's the surname of this sir?" Liu Qin had a sinister look on his face: "You can choose whether to walk up or let the brothers carry you up."
No matter what, we have to enter this bandit’s den.
Zheng Qi never expected that he, a second-rank minister of the imperial court, would be taken to the mountains by snow bandits.
He was locked up 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 food brought by them.
From time to time, the smell of meat wafted from outside. He looked at the few limp vegetable leaves on the plate and drooled with greed.
That day, when it was time for dinner, Zhang Hu was taken away again. He was really curious and asked, "Where are you taking him?"
Zhang Hu heard this and sighed, "Master Zheng, you don't know that I have some cooking skills. It happened that the cook in their village was sick, so they asked me to cook a few dishes."
As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, he heard the snow bandit angrily say, "Why don't you leave quickly? What are you talking about here? Do you want to be beheaded like those people before?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu hurried out.
Zheng Qi looked at his back, moved his lips but said nothing.
The moment the cell door closed, he thought dejectedly, if only he had not been so impulsive that day. Now the only person he could count on was Xu Zimo, who did nothing all day long.
When Zhang Hu walked outside, he was taken to the back yard.
In the past few days, every time it was mealtime, they would take Zhang Hu to the backyard to eat together.
Seeing him coming, Liu Qin quickly stood up and said, "Master Zhang, please come in quickly."
"You two brothers, you're welcome." Zhang Hu said with a smile, "I feel a little embarrassed to be treated to such good food and wine every day."
"Master Zhang, now that you are here, you should feel like you are home." Lin Mu looked around and said softly, "I think this Zheng guy won't be able to hold on for much longer. Why don't we try him today and see if we can get any valuable information from him, so that the master doesn't have to make another trip."
Zhang Hu thought about it and said, "Alright, but I still need to consult the master on this matter."
Just then, a chuckle came from above their heads: "What do you need my permission for?"
Shang Ruoyi jumped down from the tree.
"Master." The three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"What were you just talking about?"
"Master, we were just talking about the interrogation of Zheng Qi." Liu Qin said, "I'm afraid that old man can't hold on any longer."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Bring him out to see me."
"Yes."
At night, everything is quiet, only the bright lights in the village are on.
Zheng Qi watched as one after another of the blood-stained people were dragged away from him, and he was so frightened that his whole body couldn't stop shaking.
Just then, an officer walked to the cell opposite him and dragged away Zhang Hu who was sleeping.
"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, "Our boss has found a better cook, so there is no need for you to exist."
Zhang Hu struggled hard for a few times, and the snow bandit impatiently hit 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 something when he was stopped by another snow bandit: "Why tell him that? How much can an old man like him know? Not everyone can know what our village leader wants to know."
"Yeah, why waste that time with him?"
Having said that, he ignored him and continued walking forward.
Zheng Qi was shocked. Village chief? There is 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 I know?"
The two men took the banknote with some disdain, and one of the snow bandits even took it to his nose and sniffed it. The smell went straight to his head.
But who would go against money?
They said impatiently, "Well, let me just tell you briefly. Our village leader was plotted against by that old bastard Shangnian, and was seriously injured. Now, if you can provide us with information about the wrongdoings of that old villain Shangnian, it will be a great achievement."
Year of Shang?
He didn't look as excited as before. The two snow bandits looked at each other and one of them said, "Forget it, forget it. He's already 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 severely. If you can't get any information out of them, just kill them all and then go to the capital to catch more."
The two men dragged Zhang Hu farther and farther away, and the sound gradually disappeared.
Zheng Qi sat in the cell with a gloomy expression on his face.
Just then, the two snow bandits came again, 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 he is dying and still covered us in blood."
"It doesn't matter. There are still a few here. Once we deal with them all, we can rest."
As soon as they finished speaking, they threw the blood-stained handkerchief on the ground, right next to Zheng Qi's cell. He looked at the blood-stained handkerchief and swallowed.
The image of Zhang Hu covered in blood appeared before 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 next."
what?
He was so horrified that he fell to the ground, his mind going blank.
He recalled the conversation between the two people just now: the wrong things Shangnian had done over the years.
The original concerns become worthless in the face of life and death.
Just as the two snow bandits turned back, Zheng Qi shouted, "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 see our village leader just because you want to?"
"I know all the wrong things Shangnian did. Doesn't your village chief need it?" He said loudly, "I have something very important to tell your village chief."
The two looked at each other for a long while, then sighed: "Forget it, since you said it's important, we will give you this opportunity, but let's be frank, if you say something useless and make our village chief angry and blame us, don't blame us for being rude. I used to be a butcher, I guarantee that after I cut you into pieces, your heart will still be beating."
His words made Zheng Qi's heart beat wildly, and he quickly assured: "Your village chief will definitely be interested."
