The peasant said again: "I know a secret of yours. If you don't do it, I will tell your secret to you." After that, he whispered the secret in his ear.
Qi Zhengong was startled and quickly covered his mouth: "Stop talking, I will listen to you."
In fact, even if the peasants did not threaten him, Qi Zhengong himself was actually moved.
Although he works as a town official and earns a good income, his family is not actually wealthy because he has three married wives and more than a dozen children, which means he has a lot of expenses.
If I could get a big sum of money from this woman, I would naturally be tempted.
Besides, Qi Zhengong has always believed that the coward will be starved to death and the bold will be starved to death. He thought that even if Gu Dong did not die in the Black Forest, he could send people to guard him on his way back, kill him, and treat him as him.
He died in the Black Forest.
Even if there is an eventuality and the hunter comes back, he can still pretend that he didn't know about it and blame the peasants for the matter.
As a result, the peasant was also a well-behaved fellow. He did not come forward himself, but asked the wife-buyer Lin to come forward and go to the town notice. If things did not go well, he would blame the matter on Lin.
Both of these are based on the idea of benefiting oneself and letting others take responsibility.
However, they never expected that the woman they were scheming with was actually a martial artist. As a result, all the men sent to capture Mengyu were defeated by her.
Why is Duke Qi not afraid of this?
This lady is so tough, where is the hunter named Gu Dong? Are they both martial arts masters?
He immediately sent someone to call back the people who intercepted the hunter on the road. Now he just hoped that he could use his status as the mayor to comfort the female martial artist. He only hoped that his words could make her believe that he really didn't know anything.
But why was this woman's eyes so sharp? She exposed his lies mercilessly.
What is he going to do now?
Anyone who comes to Black Rock City has to wait at least until the night sky is over, and now, even the night sky hasn’t arrived yet!
After such a long time, if she found a reason to kill him, he wouldn't even be able to find a place to talk about it!
Moreover, because he was the one who plotted against the other party first, even if the other party killed him blatantly, no one from Black Rock City would avenge him.
Mengyu looked at Qi Zhengong and tried to release her momentum: "What, you want to tell me that you were not bribed to plot against me?"
Although she knew that her consciousness could not leave the body and could not crush people to death with coercion like when she had cultivation, she still wanted to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
But Mengyu didn't know that although her consciousness could not leave her body, her soul energy was still there, as was her powerful mental power. Therefore, the pressure she supported with her thoughts was really pressing on Qi Zhengong.
Qi Zhengong didn't dare to speak. Why was this man's aura so strong that it actually made him feel like he couldn't breathe?
He is indeed a martial artist. This aura is really terrifying.
"No, I, I didn't mean that, I deserve to die!"
He screamed in his heart, why did this woman have to act like a good girl in front of him when she went to him to apply for a household registration, buy a house, or someone to marry? Why did she come to live among ordinary people despite being a martial artist?
If he knew she had such a strong aura, he would definitely be able to guess her identity as a martial artist, so how could he dare to touch her?
