Rebirth: Lie down with the system
Chapter 21 The Truth
Li Zeju's face, which had just improved, changed again. Fortunately, he was relatively strong.
"Master Zhao wants half of my Li family's land with just one mouth. It's really shameless. Not to mention that your majesty may not really punish my Li family for the people who are still alive. Even that food is the basis for my Li family's life. When the time comes, I will I don’t believe Your Majesty wouldn’t be moved by the fact that the Li family gave up all their grain reserves, so tell me, why do we have to hand over half of our land?”
Zhao Kang knew that Patriarch Li, who had been fighting with him for so many years, was not so easy to compromise!
"Even if you pay the food to save your life, I'm afraid your Li family will be a cunning and ruthless person in His Majesty's heart, and you won't have a good impression at all, and the children of your Li family will never have the opportunity to marry into the aristocratic family. Besides, now is the time. During the autumn harvest, if the people can't get a good explanation, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to tell everything about what the Li family has done. Will anyone still be collecting grain for the Li family? I'm afraid you won't even be able to collect grain. If you don’t come up, your life will not be saved. Now you have given Patriarch Li the opportunity to choose, so you must seize it!"
A group of people next to me felt their heads hurt when they heard this. These officials had so many twists and turns in their heads. Wouldn't it be better to just be more free and easy?
Although Shi Qing could understand the twists and turns, he was impatient to listen to them talking for so long, so he bought a bunch of apples from the system and distributed them to his friends, which was a kind of comfort.
Li Zeju didn't think for too long. Zhao Kang mentioned so many unfavorable reasons, and in his heart he also wanted to maximize the interests of the Li family.
Then there is only one choice he can make, and that is the best for the Li family.
Li Zeju's body went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Master Zhao is really good at planning! I, Li Zeju, am convinced. The Li family will hand over half of their land in the hope that Master Zhao will keep his promise!"
"father!"
Li Xingshi screamed anxiously when he heard that his father was about to hand over the family property.
He glared at his son, did he want to hand it over? There is no second, better way to choose from the current situation!
Zhao Kang smiled with satisfaction and finally got the land from the Li family.
He quickly drew up a voluntary transfer letter and handed it to Li Zeju.
Patriarch Li took the transfer letter with trembling hands. Half of the hard work of ten generations of the Li family was actually taken away in his hands. He is the sinner of the Li family!
With trembling hands, he signed his name and stamped the Li family's long seal. He looked at the transfer document with tears streaming down his face and couldn't regain his senses for a long time.
Seeing that the agreement had been signed, Mu Yi gave Zhao Kang a look.
"Now that Patriarch Li has signed it, we will keep our promise. It was the nun who was lurking next to the eldest lady. I have found out that the disappearance case has nothing to do with your Li family. I will tell the people in the city tomorrow that And if the grain from half of the field is used as compensation for the victims in the name of the Li family, would Chief Li be happier?"
Mu Er held the nanny in his hand, and the group left the Li Mansion in a mighty manner, leaving behind the Li family father and son who were crying bitterly.
Back at the government office, Mu Yi stopped Shi Qing and said, "Shi Qing, I'm going to interrogate that demon cultivator. Do you want to come with me?"
Shi Qing was also somewhat curious about demon cultivators. I wonder if there would be other cultivators in this world?
"Well, let's go together!"
Shi Jing and the others are also following them, don't even think about leaving them behind wherever they go!
Mu Er and the others took them to the government prison cell.
Shi Qing walked and looked at it. The cells here were too simple. The only good thing was that the walls were made of blue bricks. It seemed that Mr. Zhao had worked hard to prevent prisoners from escaping.
Today's green bricks are not cheap. They are not like modern fire bricks. With the help of machinery, a wide-body kiln can burn 20,000 to 30,000 bricks a day.
Green bricks are made by sifting fine-textured clay and adding water to make clay. The clay is then placed in a hopper mold to be shaped, dried and then stacked in a brick kiln and fired at high temperature using dry straw and firewood. It is all manually made by manpower, and the yield rate is not high, so the price is also expensive.
The cell door was a thigh-thick wooden post, closed by a thick chain and lock. There was nothing inside except a pile of straw and a bucket.
Along the way, there were not many people imprisoned in the cells, so there was not much resentment here.
When they arrived at the innermost torture room, Mu Er and the others tied the person to the torture frame very quickly.
They did not use the torture right away. They all turned to look at Shi Qing. There was no antidote to the power of this fragrant drunkenness. Who knew when people would wake up?
Shi Qing was very discerning and used spiritual power to transport the antidote in front of Mu Er. At the same time, he used a magic spell to unlock the silence spell, but the immobilization spell was temporarily unsolved.
The corner of Mu Er's mouth twitched. He didn't even want to feed him the medicine no matter what!
"Thirteen! Take it!"
Forced to suppress by force, Thirteen reluctantly stuffed the medicine into the woman's mouth. After feeding him, he rubbed his hands on his clothes in disgust before he was satisfied.
After taking the antidote, the woman woke up quickly and stared at the person in front of her with fierce eyes.
Thirteen was unprepared for a moment and was startled by her. He took a step back and was suddenly a little angry.
Just as he was about to go up and give her a few whips, Mu Er grabbed him.
The master hasn't spoken yet.
They already knew from Li Huaiyang and the maid Xiaocui that the woman they met halfway was called Chen Sihui, and they called her Aunt Chen.
According to Xiaocui's memories.
Since the eldest lady Li Huaiyang's face was disfigured, her temper has become darker and darker day by day, and her temper has become weirder.
The master was afraid that she would cause trouble in the capital and he was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he asked the guards to send them back to the Li family in Cangjiu City.
Unexpectedly, she encountered robbers on the way and the guards were killed. She and the eldest lady were chased all the way, and then they met Aunt Chen.
Even though Aunt Chen is a gray-haired woman, in fact, when they first met, Aunt Chen had black hair, her face was in her thirties, and she was very skilled in martial arts. She stretched out her hand to grab and twist the robber. Their necks were broken, and they were very frightened at that time.
However, Aunt Chen seemed to like the eldest lady very much and loved her very much. She knew that the eldest lady's face was disfigured, and she also said that she had a way to cure her face.
They didn't believe it at first. There were so many skilled doctors in the capital who couldn't cure the young lady's face, let alone Aunt Chen, a woman in her thirties.
But that night, they saw with their own eyes that she used the blood of those robbers to refine a blood-red pill. Aunt Chen took it herself. In the blink of an eye, Aunt Chen went from being in her thirties to A young woman in her twenties, her whole face was radiant and charming.
The eldest lady was very moved when she saw it, so she took Aunt Chen home, and then set off to Cangjiu City again.
She knew that the young lady and Aunt Chen were digging a secret room in Hanlian Pavilion. She used the dug soil to plant flowers during the day, and she went back to her room to rest at night. Since the young lady had Aunt Chen, she would not let her stay close to her. She prepared their food, drinks, and food on the same day, and she didn't know anything else.
Li Huaiyang's interrogation was a bit difficult.
She also knew that she would not be able to escape the blame if things were revealed, so she remained silent after waking her up. Her eyes were empty and her face was pale, resembling a walking zombie.
No matter how much they prodded her, she didn't respond.
When they mentioned that Aunt Chen would be closed as the murderer of the disappearance, her expression gradually turned ferocious and she began to roar.
"No, nothing can happen to Aunt Chen! Aunt Chen hasn't healed my face yet, my face!"
"Nothing will happen to her! You can't kill her, you can't kill her, do you hear me! I am the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, and I order you to let her go quickly, let her go!"
Li Huaiyang fell into madness.
Therefore, it is impossible to know more information about Aunt Chen from her mouth.
From the things this woman did, it is not difficult to tell that she is a ruthless character. If you cannot find a breakthrough point for such people, it will be difficult to pry their mouths open. Just like Li Huaiyang, she will not say anything to you.
Mu Yi had a headache.
"Shiqing, what do you think?"
What can he think!
"You should ask her first!"
"Uh..." Indeed, they haven't asked a question since they woke up. It was really a mistake, a mistake~
Mu Shishi took a step forward with great discernment and said, "Name!"
"Bah~"
Mu Er moved very quickly and quickly dodged Chen Sihui's chemical and physical attacks.
"It was so dangerous, I almost got hit!"
Seeing this, everyone else took two steps back.
"Shiqing, what do you think now?"
"I...I see with my eyes!" Shi Qing replied angrily.
Mu Shisan and the others heard them covering their mouths and laughing. Unexpectedly, the young master was quite humorous at this time.
What Shi Qing was thinking was that in his previous life, he was a law-abiding and good citizen. He was always asking questions about what kind of interrogation he knew.
Mu Yi was helpless.
"Then shall we still interrogate?"
He’s not familiar with this job either!
Shi Qing thought for a moment. Although he didn't know how to interrogate, he was smart!
Why people become demons is because they have too much greed and too much obsession.
Since Chen Sihui can become a demon cultivator, she must have her obsession and greed. There must be some reason why she looks at Li Huaiyang differently!
Disfigured?
Abandoned by the family?
Have you had the same experience?
"Chen Sihui, can I also call you Aunt Chen?" Shi Qing ignored her silence and continued.
"With your ability and personality, you should not like or care about a girl from aristocratic family like Li Huaiyang, but what is the reason that would make you look at her with admiration?"
"You can't pity her when she's disfigured!" Shi Qing looked at Chen Sihui's expression intently, trying to find any reaction from it.
Chen Sihui looked at him silently and remained silent.
"Young Maid Xiaocui said that you love Li Huaiyang very much. In order to heal her face, you dug secret rooms and kidnapped people to take blood, just to refine blood pills to repair her appearance. But I don't think you are so warm-hearted. People, what do you think?"
Chen Sihui raised her eyelids and glanced at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing didn't care whether she spoke or not. At this moment, his mind suddenly opened up.
Li Sihui can become a demon cultivator, which shows that her determination is still very firm, otherwise she would have committed suicide due to the influence of resentment, and how would she be today.
Will such a person be sincere to someone he meets by chance?
Certainly not!
Demons are selfish, always living in their own world, centered on themselves, thinking about their own gains and losses, not caring about the feelings of others, and having no sense of right and wrong.
Then she must have other reasons for saving Li Huaiyang...
"I guess there is something you want on Li Huaiyang...what is it? It can't be her face! She has been disfigured and is not as beautiful as your face now!"
"Is that anger or resentment in her?"
Chen Sihui raised her head and stared at Shi Qing. She could feel the strong vitality in Shi Qing's body.
"who are you?"
Mu Yi and the others who were watching were shocked and finally spoke!
Shi Qing didn't answer her.
He continued, "It seems to be for the sake of survival! But there are thousands of people in the world, what makes Li Huaiyang special? Why did you choose her? Although she has resentment in her body, it is not particularly strong, and her vitality is only average, even She suffered a lot by herself.”
"Then what else can you like about her?"
"It's the body! A young body!"
At this time, Chen Sihui reacted violently as if she had been pricked by a needle.
"Who on earth are you? Ah... who on earth are you?"
Shi Qing looked at her. If he hadn't already cast a restraining spell, she might have rushed towards him, pinched his neck and questioned him.
It seems that his analysis was good.
Cultivating demons and attracting resentment into the body will not only affect your temperament and make you suspicious, but your body will also be corroded by resentment. If you cannot suppress the resentment with your internal strength, the resentment will come back to bite you.
"Your resentment has come back!" Shi Qing said with certainty.
Chen Sihui fell silent for a moment after hearing his words.
"You are very smart and special! Did you cast the immobilizing spell on me?"
Chen Sihui, who was quiet for a moment, had a faint smile on his face, which was so strange that it made Mu Yi and the others on the side feel cold all over.
"Yes, it was me!" Shi Qing said, waving her gauze sleeves to disperse Chen Sihui's resentment.
Only then did Mu Yi and the others feel that their bodies were no longer cold.
They couldn't see the resentment, so they naturally didn't notice that the resentment on her body spread out bit by bit from the moment she started speaking. Naturally, they didn't notice that Shi Qing waved his sleeves and used his spiritual power to dissipate the resentment.
Shi Qing's movements did not irritate Chen Sihui, but she smiled at Shi Qing. "Why didn't you let me discover you earlier! Your flesh and blood will definitely purify the resentment in me, and then I will no longer suffer the backlash!"
"Yes, you are right. An arrogant and domineering person like Li Huaiyang is not worthy of me working for her! Everything I do is for myself."
"The backlash of resentment is unpleasant. It's like millions of ants gnawing at me in my body. Not only my body, but also my soul. My soul is pulled by resentment every day. They want me to be with you. They go down together.”
"It's a pity that they underestimated me. When I met them that day, I suddenly thought of a good idea!"
"Do you know what it is?"
Shi Qing didn't answer, he knew what Chen Sihui was talking about!
"Yes, you have a really good body! You are young and qualified, except for the ugly face! So I have to heal my face first so that I can change my body. I don't want to live my life staring at that face full of scars."
"It's a pity that you discovered all this!" As she said this, she looked at Shi Qing with stern eyes.
Shi Jing and the others were startled by her and pulled Shi Qing back a step.
There are always people like this in this world...
