"This is …"

Xi Mengyao looked at the person who fell in front of her in shock. After a single glance, she immediately turned her head, and as expected, she saw Song Chongjing standing not far behind her with a cold face.

"Why are you here? I haven't even asked!"

She was not in a good mood. She complained for a bit before squatting down and carefully examining the fallen person. It seemed that he had held back and did not kill him, but that was about it.

The hilt of the knife was crooked and had been inserted into her shoulder. It looked like it had just missed the artery.

"Someone harmed you, yet you still show mercy?" Song Chongjing walked over with his hands behind his back, and stood behind her, and lowered his head to look at the servant girl who had fallen to the ground, "I let you interrogate his, but you, you delivered yourself up to be set up."

"Please open your eyes, Your Highness. I'm here to capture the murderer."

Xi Mengyao rolled her eyes and ignored him, turning to look at the maidservants who were hiding in the corner and hugging each other while trembling.

Did you see it clearly? Your benefactors have revealed their true forms, and your masters do not want you anymore. Now that I have given you two paths, spit out everything you know.

Xi Mengyao pointed to the door, there was another person lying there, but when she turned back, she saw that he had been moved away.

Seeing this, the few of them did not know what to say, and could only stare blankly. They knew that this was a threat, but none of them knew which one was more serious.

"Looks like you guys are quite loyal." Xi Mengyao sneered.

"…" What did the young maid know? She lowered her head even more.

"Since that's the case, then people, bring this group of people …"

"Princess!"

As soon as she said this, someone immediately kneeled on the ground. It seemed that they had finally weighed the pros and cons.

"You've figured it out?" Xi Mengyao sneered.

"Yes …" The few of them nodded.

"Alright, then let me ask you this. What is your master's purpose for doing this? How much do you know?" Xi Mengyao did not hold back and directly walked into the middle of the group.

These maidservants were all afraid that she would do something to them, so they quickly retreated. However, they only retreated a few steps before they found a wall behind them. They had nowhere to retreat to, so they could only stare at her blankly.

Xi Mengyao felt sick, she shook her head and said: "What's going on with you guys? Can I bite you guys to death?"

Seeing this, the others shook their heads and bit their lips, not saying a word.

"Answer me!" Xi Mengyao lost her patience.

"Servants …" "I don't know …" The maidservants were all trembling in fear. Finally, someone finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"You don't know?" When Xi Mengyao heard this, she only sneered, "I don't know, or I can't say!"

Without waiting for their response, she condescendingly said to them, "My troubles are limited. If you guys have anything to hide and I find out, then I won't be polite."

Their faces were all pale. One of them wanted to speak, but the other stopped him. The few of them looked at each other, then turned to look at Song Chongjing again.

Xi Mengyao immediately understood and laughed, "Looks like all of you feel that there's someone by your side that you cannot say."

She looked at Song Chongjing if she was pointing a finger: "Your Highness, please."

Song Chongjing did not allow them to do so, and only coldly looked at them. "Since you want to say it, then speak frankly.

After which, he raised his hand.

The guard immediately rushed in and surrounded the maidservants.

They screamed at once, and the sound nearly tore the roof off. Xi Mengyao hurriedly covered her ears and retreated a few steps. When the few of them stopped, she helplessly said: "Who are you?

She turned to look at Song Chongjing, only to see that he was determined to not leave. She could only helplessly take a deep breath.

"See, there's nothing I can do about it. If you do not want this person to hear your words, then I am afraid you will not be able to guarantee your safety.

As she spoke, she turned to look at Song Chongjing.

Seeing the clear provocation in his gaze, Song Chongjing could only shake his head and ignore her. He walked over to the others and spoke coldly: "Since you have come to my place, there is only one way to be frank. You can decide whether to talk about it here or go to my dungeon. "

As he spoke, he stepped aside and the guard took half a step forward.

"Aren't the servants … "I'm afraid you'll listen but …"

"Then, how exactly is it that I will handle it according to the circumstances." Although his words weren't heavy, but when he opened his mouth, his face was very serious.

It was as if he was going to pull out a knife in the next second.

Only then did the maidservants sigh. They looked around, then nodded timidly and said, "Your Highness …" Actually, the servants have not fully participated in the battle yet, but we know how powerful that person is, if we were to say it out loud, will you be able to guarantee our safety? "

Xi Mengyao laughed after hearing this, "Are you still thinking of protecting your own safety? Let's first think about whether that person can let you live or not after you finish talking about this. "

She was just here to watch the show.

When the maidservants heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They already understood their current situation and could only shake their heads and sigh, "That's true … "We didn't figure it out ourselves …"

After saying that, they gritted their teeth and turned to look at Xi Mengyao, and said: "We came here because we were ordered by someone."

Xi Mengyao nodded her head: "Seeing your guts, you guys do not seem to be someone who can be a spy."

"Hmm?" When the few of them heard this, their faces were somewhat puzzled, but they did not refute her in the end.

On the other hand, Song Chongjing turned to look at her. Xi Mengyao was puzzled, only then did she remember that he was not a spy, but a spy instead.

She coughed and pretended not to know.

"We, in fact, do not know what exactly they are planning to do. It's just that we heard from the young lady the day before yesterday that we met a godly person who could be of great help to her."

Xi Mengge directly said that he wanted them to come and help her with some things, and she had also said that if the few of them were not willing, then he would sell them to a brothel.

They were all girls who sold themselves. Wherever the indenture contract went, they would belong to.

Even if the maidservants were servants, they didn't want to do this.

"The Miss also said that if the matter is successful, she would return the indenture contract to the servants, and then return the servants fifty taels of silver."

"What is it?"

"Miss only said it was a big matter. Every day, someone would go to the corner of the wall and notify us of what they wanted to do …"

She said it in an extremely obscure tone, but Xi Mengyao knew about this immediately. Doing some things would only be pushing her into a pit of fire.

However, she did not have much of an impression of this.

Xi Mengge had done this kind of thing in the past, and she was already used to it. Moreover, it seemed that none of those things had succeeded.

She did not believe that the weak Xi Mengyao could endure for so long.
