Meng Liang's servant was smarter than his master. Or rather, he was more perceptive. He could feel that danger was approaching.
He was like a croaking frog that had been targeted by a poisonous snake. His life and death could be decided in an instant.
The manservant tried his best to suppress the creepy feeling. He stopped in his tracks and bowed to Jiang Pengji.
He bit the bullet and asked, "Do you know where my lang … my wife is?"
Jiang Pengji laughed softly. Her mellow voice was different from that of a young man. It sounded more like it came from her throat. It sounded mellow. She said darkly, "Do you want to know where your Langjun went? If you're so curious, why don't you go to hell and ask him? "
After the manservant heard this, he instantly shivered. His hands and feet turned cold, and the fear in his heart exploded in an instant. He was so scared that his legs went soft, and he directly knelt down in front of her feet. His knees happened to press on a few protruding stones, and immediately a bruise appeared.
His thin lips trembled. He couldn't say a word. After a long time, he took a deep breath.
He said dryly, "Please don't joke around. My wife was fine …"
As he spoke, he slowly got up and secretly took a few steps back.
The grudge between the Liu's and the Meng's was irreconcilable. It was not impossible for Liu She to kill someone.
The manservant was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
"Why would I joke around? Since the villain dies because he talks too much, I'll let you die with regrets. "
Jiang Pengji took a step forward. The manservant froze. He quickly turned around and tried to run into the house.
Nongqin was anxious. She wanted to catch the manservant when she saw him trying to escape. But someone was faster than her.
As if there was a gust of black wind, Jiang Pengji had already caught up with the servant who was trying to escape. She pinched the servant's slender neck with one hand and gradually exerted force with her five fingers. The servant felt that it was getting more and more difficult for him to breathe. He tried his best to pry her hand away with both of his hands. His feet rubbed against the ground. At first, he struggled intensely, but as time went by, the intensity gradually decreased …
Sha sha sha sha —
His legs, which were rubbing against the ground, went completely limp. His hands were still holding onto Jiang Pengji's wrists. His eyes were wide open, bulging so much that it seemed like they were about to jump out of their sockets and explode in the next second. His face had slowly turned from dark purple to green.
Nongqin saw the servant struggling hard before he died. His eyes were almost popping out of his eye sockets. She was so nervous that her breath quickened. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, as if the night wind around her was strangely cold.
"Are you scared?"
Nongqin stood rooted to the ground and heard Jiang Pengji's gentle question.
She took a deep breath, and the trembling in her chest calmed down under the stimulation of the cold air. She bit the tip of her tongue and regained her senses.
Her eyes were shining with determination. "Langjun, I'm afraid now, but I won't be afraid in the future!"
"Alright, go call the butler over and have him dispose of the corpse. For the next few days, I will assign a few maids to you. Remember to take a few steps in front of people occasionally. Miss Biao who came to the Liu's two days ago has never stepped out of this yard. Do you understand? "
Nongqin nodded hard, as if she was trying to overcome the spreading fear in her heart.
She thought the butler would panic when he saw the corpse, but she didn't expect him to be so calm.
"His neck is twisted like this. How much strength did he use to hurt him?"
The old butler guessed something from Nongqin's vague and mysterious description, so he came over with two confidants.
With the light from the match, he saw the servant's completely twisted and sunken neck. He clicked his tongue.
Nongqin was nervous. "Butler, this … this … Langjun heard a strange noise when he sent me here. I came over and saw this corpse … I don't know who did it. Someone suddenly died in the yard. What should we do? "
The old butler snorted and waved his hand. The two confidants had already put the corpse into a black cloth bag.
"We can't send him out secretly. Just throw him into the bucket of night incense, so that others won't see it and misunderstand."
Asking people to move the corpse out secretly was the stupidest thing to do. It was no different from burying one's head.
The people living near the Liu's were not ordinary people. No matter which door the corpse was moved out, it was impossible to guarantee that no one would see it.
The old butler was experienced. He put the body in the bucket of night incense and sent it out. Who would be so bored to check it?
Nongqin was a little scared, but seeing the old butler so calm, she felt a strange admiration and envy.
It was not the first time the System saw Jiang Pengji kill someone, but none of the previous scenes were as shocking as this one.
She killed the bandits in the village quickly and neatly. Almost all of them died in an instant, but she strangled the servant to death with her own hands.
Her strength was so great that she directly crushed the neck bone.
The System held back for a long time and asked without confidence, "How could you kill such a weak ordinary person?"
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "I killed him to show you."
The System was speechless.
"When did I ever tell you that I won't kill people who don't even have the strength to truss a chicken? That servant was as weak as a chicken, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to do evil. There were more than 20 people who died directly or indirectly in his hands. More importantly, if he is alive, it will have an uncontrollable impact on the ending. So it's better to nip the risk in the bud. "
The System asked her in a low voice, "Okay, I don't care about that. But … what do you mean by killing him to show me?"
"I don't know what your previous host was like, but I know one thing. Don't treat me like a clay figurine. System, you have done more than one thing to disgust me. I hope there won't be another mission like today! "
The System was speechless. "As I said, this kind of real-time mission is issued randomly and automatically. I can't control it. If you don't want to do it, just say no … Anyway, if you don't want to do the mission, how can I force you? "
Hearing the System's words, Jiang Pengji suddenly smiled. Her smile was full of inexplicable meaning.
The System added, "But if you fail the mission, you will also have to bear the punishment. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you can't bear it."
At that time, two hours had passed since Jiang Pengji refused to do the mission.
