C115 The Mastermind
In the back mountains of Qingfeng City and Qing Prefecture, there was a dark and strict dungeon.
It was a cell built under a small hill, and it was also one of the forbidden areas of Qing family. Because of the guardian beasts of Qing family, the Bloodthirsty Wolf was living in the Qing Prefecture. There was a mountain forest here, and at the bottom of the mountain was the warehouse and cell of Qing family. However, no one knew about it.
The heavy rain that had happened since the beginning of history had added a touch of coldness to the heavily built prison underground.
Although it was already early in the morning, it was already late at night. However, at this moment, the interior of the prison was brightly lit with candles. Within the prison, there were green-clothed people patrolling and shuttling back and forth from time to time.
At the entrance of the prison was. . . In the middle of the forest, beside a rock that was densely covered with vines, the entrance was completely covered by vines. Those who were not familiar with it would not be able to discover it at all.
At this moment, a light footstep "Pa! Pa!" The sound came from afar.
The four big men in green immediately looked into the distance with their eyes wide open. In the direction of the sound, the sound came from afar. In the darkness of the night, under a bright light, a slightly plump and tall figure scuttled out from the forest.
"Who is it?" Among the four men in green, a strong man as strong as a bull shouted.
"Little tiger, right? It's me!" A deep voice sounded.
"Patriarch, please!" The big man said respectfully.
"Little Hu, are you on duty today? How are the two people I brought today? Did you manage to find out anything? " Qing Yiwen asked the burly man.
"Chief, these two men are really stubborn. They have already used most of their punishments, but they are just like steel teeth, refusing to speak. " The big man in green called Little Tiger replied somewhat helplessly.
"Oh, I will personally go and take a look. "
"Patriarch, please!"
As he spoke, The azure-clothed man, Little Tiger pressed on a protruding piece of rock by the side.
"Rumble!" "Crack!" A heavy sound was heard. Behind the cave, the originally empty passage cut open a two-foot wide stone staircase passage, all the way to the end of the stone path.
Qing Yiwen and Qing Yiwen turned left and right in the winding tunnel. About ten minutes later, they arrived at a spacious hall.
They saw many stone cells extending to the end of the passage.
This was the secret prison of Qing family. It was a prison that imprisoned people who intended to sell the trade route of Qing family, the internal members of the cooperative families, or the hostile forces that wanted to spy on the Qing family.
Qing Yiwen was accompanied by Little Tiger. As soon as he entered the main hall, four guards in green clothes, who were emitting a biting cold aura, shouted, "Huo!" Immediately, they stood up and bowed to Qing Yiwen.
"Patriarch, their mouths are as hard as steel, and they won't say a single word!" A guard in green reported helplessly.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave now! I will personally go and ask!" Qing Yiwen said as he walked towards the third cell.
In the third stone house, which was about forty feet in length and width, a fair-skinned middle-aged man was lying weakly on the stone bed. He closed his eyes slightly and heard the footsteps outside the stone house. He could not help but roar with an extremely impatient expression, "How many times have I told you? Save your worries! I will not say anything. Since you have caught me today, I will kill you. I'll do as you say!"
"Xia Lai, don't you have anything to say to me?" Qing Yiwen's deep voice suddenly sounded beside Xia Lai's ear.
Xia Lai, who was lying on the stone bed and resting with his eyes closed, shook. He opened his eyes and immediately sat up straight. However, the iron chains made of cold black cold iron on his four limbs restricted his freedom. He could only move freely in the stone house. He could not even touch the iron door of the stone house.
A pair of apologetic eyes looked at Qing Yiwen.
"Master, it's you. Why are you here in person?"
"It's me, Xia Lai. How have my Qing family treated you all these years? You should ask yourself. My Qing family has treated you well, right? Could it be that this is how you are going to repay me and the Qing family? " Qing Yiwen looked at Xia Lai with a disappointed look and shouted.
" Chief, you have been really good to me all these years. I have let the Qing family down. But, I had no choice!" Xia Lai said, his head was buried in his chest.
"Xia Lai, as long as you can tell me who the mastermind is, I will let you go. Let bygones be bygones. I will also give you a generous sum of money so that you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace. You can also marry a few beautiful wives and live happily with your children. " Qing Yiwen promised.
A struggle flashed across Xia Lai's face. Now that the mission had failed and his identity had been exposed, even if he returned safely, he would still die. If he didn't say it out loud and offended the Qing family, even if he wasn't killed, he wouldn't be able to see the light of day again. He was in a dilemma.2
Looking at the struggling expression on Xia Lai's face, Qing Yiwen knew it. There was a chance. He continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, "Xia Lai, You have really disappointed me. Actually, I already knew everything from General Manager Leng. I have come to ask you again because I want to see how much kindness you have shown us in all these years. Do you still have a trace of concern? It seems like. . . It seems like you have completely forgotten about it. Even if my Qing family doesn't kill you, I will let you go. Your master will still kill you. Because your mission failed and your identity was exposed. He was afraid that you would reveal him, so he would definitely kill you. So, Do you still want to give up on us, who have been treating you as one of our own, for the sake of the Lord who could take your life at any time? If it wasn't for General Manager Leng's understanding of the situation, After thinking about the details and knowing that we won't kill him, As long as we let him out, he would be dead for sure. We don't need to waste a single soldier of Qing family, your Lord. . . Naturally, we will send someone to get rid of him. No matter how he tried to explain it, it would be useless. Your Lord would believe that you would not be able to kill our Qing family merchant group. We will not kill you, but will we let you go? Letting a tiger go back to the mountain. . . If it were you, would you believe it?"
What Qing Yiwen said was the agitation of the crowd! After saying that, his face was filled with disappointment. He turned around and prepared to leave.
Xiao Jian was not there at the moment. Otherwise, he would definitely clap his hands and shout, "You acted too well. If it was in the 21st century, you would definitely be able to compete with Liu Dehua, Liu Qingyun, and the others for the Best Male Lead or the title of Best Actor! You are simply an actor born by nature. It would be a pity not to film. "
Qing Yiwen's words made Xia Lai sink into an even more intense internal struggle.
After Qing Yiwen had received Xiao Jian's guidance, he naturally knew that he could not be too hasty. About two minutes later, Qing Yiwen spoke again, "Xia Lai, it seems like this is our destiny. You should take care of yourself!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Slap!" "The sound of footsteps had just begun when Xia Lai's voice came from behind.
"Patriarch, please slow down! I'll tell you everything! I only hope that you can keep your promise and let me go! "
Qing Yiwen slowly turned around. An unnoticeable smile flashed across his slightly fat face. The intelligence and love he had for Xiao Jian had increased exponentially in his heart!
He was even more passionate about making Xiao Jian his son-in-law! If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Jian couldn't get married right now, I think it is possible for him to forcefully send his daughter to Xiao Jian's room. He could even do such a thing! After all, As long as it wasn't against the laws of the world. . . A business that earns money is always beneficial.
