Hearing the sound of footsteps, Taoist Master Yuxu trembled.
He felt a person standing opposite him, and that powerful aura brought an oppressive chill, chilling him to the core.
He spoke tremblingly: "Who are you?"
Xiao Chengyi lowered his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, and his faint voice sounded without warmth: "Are you going to do it yourself, or will you try my torture methods before doing it?"
Taoist Priest Yuxu's expression changed drastically: "What did you ask me to do? I have already said everything I should say today. I did take Miss Mu San's money to lie on her behalf."
"oh?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his voice at the end: "Then tell me when and what time Miss Mu San met you, what clothes did she wear that day, and who was with her?"
Taoist Priest Yuxu choked up: "That was half a month ago. How could I remember it so clearly?"
"If you can't remember clearly, then let me help you think about it."
Xiao Chengyi snorted coldly and picked up a thin-edged knife from the place where the torture tools were placed: "Taoist Priest, have you ever heard of peeling skin and bones, but have you ever seen a lantern made of human skin? Although Taoist Priest, your skin is a bit older.
, but it shouldn’t be difficult when I want to chop it.”
Taoist Priest Yuxu turned pale with fright when he heard this, and stammered: "You...what do you want to do?"
Xiao Chengyi held the thin-edged knife and drew it down little by little against his face: "What do you think I want to do? Huh?"
Taoist Priest Yuxu felt the cold blade against his face. Because he couldn't see him, his senses became clearer. Especially when he thought of peeling skin and bones, he seemed to have a picture in his mind.
He was trembling: "I have said everything I should say, you...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sting on his face and let out a scream!
resounded throughout the chamber.
Just because the secret room was relatively closed, the echo kept echoing along with his wailing.
Taoist Priest Yuxu was extremely frightened. He could feel the blood on his face constantly gushing out, and a man's sinister laughter could be heard in his ears:
"I heard that you can peel off a complete piece of skin by starting from the face, and the person will not die. I want to try it today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Priest Yuxu exclaimed: "I said, I said, it was not Miss Mu San, she did not instruct me, I have never seen her."
Xiao Chengyi sneered and put away the knife, his whole person exuding a sinister and vicious energy that made people fearful.
"Keep talking."
Taoist Master Yuxu said with a tearful voice: "Three days ago, a woman gave me a sum of money and said that an old lady would come to calculate the fortune in a few days. She also told me the situation of the house and asked me to follow her instructions.
I agreed to trick the old lady, and she offered me a lot of money, so I agreed.
Two days later, an old lady found me, and I told her the story I had made up.
But who would have thought that after the old lady left, someone came to the door and said that I had caused a big disaster. She told me about the old lady's family background. When I heard that it was the General's Mansion, I was so frightened that I lost my mind and could only
Believe that person."
Taoist Priest Yuxu was also very regretful. If he had known that this would involve the General's Mansion, he would not have done it no matter how much money he was given!
When Xiao Chengyi heard this, his eyes gradually became colder: "Who is he?"
Taoist priest Yuxu said: "I don't know her identity, I only know that she is a woman wearing black clothes and a cloak, with a veil covering her face, and she has a slim figure.
She said that I had gotten into trouble with the General's Mansion, and if I wanted to get away with it, I had to listen to her. She said that as long as I insisted that I was ordered by Miss Mu San, I could save my life.
By the way, she also gave me a portrait of the third lady so that I could identify her!"
Xiao Chengyi's eyes darkened with a trace of murderous intent: "Where is the portrait?"
Taoist Priest Yuxu said hurriedly: "In my room."
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Who is the woman who bribed you with money?"
"That's it...it's the second wife Mrs. Li that I met at Mu's house today. She is her."
Taoist Priest Yuxu revealed the person who bribed him, and then wailed: "I only know so much. Please forgive me for this miserable life. I don't dare to do it anymore."
