PNB Chapter 265 What a bold dog!
Chapter 265 What a bold dog!
Shen Shuyi got straight to the point: "Qin Guiqiong knows, right? What does she want you to do?"
Taixu looked at the girl in the cloak in front of him. Her face was covered with a veil, so his features could not be seen clearly, but from his voice, he could tell that she was not very old.
Even though he was young, his voice was too clear and calm, so calm that it made people feel afraid.
Taixu shook his head and said, "Donor, I don't know who you are talking about."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said simply: "I don't like to ask the same question a second time."
After saying this, Shen Shuyi turned and looked at Zhao Baokun.
Zhao Baokun understood what he meant, stepped forward, grabbed Taixu by the collar and beat him up.
The young man's fists were extremely powerful, and he punched Taixu again and again. Soon, Taixu vomited blood.
Shen Shuyi had no intention of being lenient towards this old liar who always cheated people.
After half a cup of tea, Zhao Baokun took two steps back, and Taixu collapsed on the ground into a puddle of mud, rolling around while holding his stomach.
"Master, do you remember it now?" Shen Shuyi asked again.
Taixu coughed violently, his shrewd eyes were full of anxiety: "Remember...remember..."
"What are they going to do?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Taixu swallowed his saliva, only to feel his throat was fishy and astringent. He panted and looked at Shen Shuyi: "Donor, I have been entrusted by others to keep the secret, otherwise... there will be no place for me in the capital in the future..."
Shen Shuyi pulled the corner of his lip and praised: "He has backbone, values friendship and keeps his promises. I like such people."
Taixu breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't know where Shen Shuyi came from.
But the next moment, the girl's cold voice made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave. Shen Shuyi said coldly: "People with backbone will always pay the price. Chop off one of his fingers."
After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Baokun again.
Zhao Baokun paused, holding a sword in his hand, without hesitation, he strode forward, and with a flash of cold light, before Taixu had time to react, the index finger of his left hand was cut off.
"what--!!!"
In an instant, painful and twisted screams resounded throughout the woodshed. Taixu's face was pale, and he rolled on the ground with his right hand tightly grasping his left wrist.
The severed finger flew out and landed on a haystack in the distance.
Shen Shuyi glared at Taixu coldly and said simply: "I'll give you one last chance. Next time, this sword will chop off your head."
Taixu was terrified. He was not a man of integrity, but he was worried that these people were sent by the Qin family to test him.
After all, the young lady that day looked extraordinary.
But he didn't expect that the girl today would be so cruel and didn't give him any chance to bargain.
In fact...if she was willing to offer a large sum of money at the beginning...
It's not like he can't reveal it.
But now, Taixu didn't dare to gamble anymore. After all, he didn't dare to bet that the person who chopped off his fingers with just a few words would show mercy.
"Qin... Qin originally wanted me to summon ghosts and gods, but... but the other lady who came that day asked me to perform a ritual on a painting..."
Taixu spoke intermittently, sweating profusely due to the pain.
"After that, I will be invited by the Shen family to exorcise ghosts."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Taixu with his almond-shaped eyes, and said coldly: "Kill him."
Taixu's pupils shrank, his throat tightened, and he said urgently: "Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please spare my life! Everything I said is true. I swear to the Taoist Ancestor that I will never lie!"
Shen Shuyi ignored him and looked straight at Zhao Baokun.
Zhao Baokun's throat tightened and he slowly stepped forward with his sword in hand. However, this time, his move was not as quick and decisive as before.
Faced with Taixu's begging for mercy, he was unable to do anything for a long time.
Taixu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Young man, spare me! Young man, spare me! I have never done anything deceiving or cheating in these years. Everything I say now is true, young man!"
Zhao Baokun was a little reluctant to do it, and Shen Shuyi didn't urge him.
She doesn't have enough people under her command now, and Jiang Li and Jiang Lian alone are too busy to handle everything. Originally, she didn't want to involve Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in it.
But think about it, if I lose, the Qingyuan Marquisate will just go back to the old path of the previous life.
In this case, it would be better to take advantage of the power of the Marquis' Mansion.
What's more, Zhao Baopeng had been working for her in his previous life, so it was natural for her to use him. Taking a step back, for the time being, there was probably no one more worthy of her trust than Zhao Baokun and Zhao Baopeng.
"Cousin..." Zhao Baokun raised his sword, but was unable to put it down. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Shuyi.
Seeing that he didn't move, Zhao Baopeng, who had been silent, drew his sword, stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."
The next moment, he raised his hand and swung the knife without any hesitation.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!!!" Taixu screamed in horror.
But as long as Shen Shuyi didn't say anything, Zhao Baopeng had no intention of stopping. The shy and silent boy was now resolute and determined, without any hesitation.
"Bang!" a sound was heard.
The long knife in Jiang Li's hand flew out and knocked the long sword in Zhao Baopeng's hand down.
Zhao Baopeng raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li and frowned.
Shen Shuyi said gently: "Cousin, that's enough."
Hearing this, Zhao Baopeng picked up the sword, took two steps back, and remained silent.
Zhao Baokun stood aside with his head down, his big hands tightly gripping the sword, feeling an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
This seems to be a test from my cousin.
He...didn't do it. Did he disappoint his cousin?
Taixu was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, his body was wet. Shen Shuyi walked up to him, squatted in front of him, raised his hand and slowly took off the veil on his face.
"Master, have you thought it through?"
The girl's cold voice sounded, and her distant and cold pupils reflected Taixu, whose hair was gray and whose face was pale.
Taixu was frightened and stammered, "They...they asked me to point out the disaster star after I arrived at the Shen Mansion!"
"Disaster star?" Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes.
"Yes... yes! It's the second young lady of the Shen family, Shen Shuyi! They asked me to point out that there is an evil spirit in the second young lady Shen, so after she returned home, the Shen Mansion has been in constant turmoil!"
"Anything else?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Also... after I got Shen Shuyi's birth date and eight characters, I pointed out that she would bring misfortune to her relatives! Her fate was humble, so she was easily attracted by ghosts! At the same time, I was also told that the yin energy in the Shen Mansion was too heavy, and if I wanted to resolve it... I needed to..."
"What do you need?" Shen Shuyi asked softly.
Taixu swallowed his saliva and said, "We need to cast a spell on the Second Miss's house, and at the same time confine Second Miss Shen to her house for 9981 days, and sprinkle her house with dog blood and realgar every day. However, Second Miss Shen has too much yin energy, so this method may not work. It is best to burn her with a raging fire."
"How dare you!" Jiang Lian shouted angrily, very angry.
Shen Shuyi slowly let go of him, stood up, and looked cold.
Oh, burn it with raging fire?
Shen Jingyu dared to think about it.
Shen Shuyi knew that this would never work, Shen Jingchuan would never agree to such a thing happening, but once the evil spirit was pinned on her, she would find it difficult to prove herself even if she had mouths all over her body.
After all, how can one prove something that does not exist?
However, from then on, she had a bad reputation, and everyone in the Shen family and even in the capital avoided her like the plague.
And what happened to Qin Xuerong's children can also be blamed on her.
Tsk, it really is a one-time solution.
