Lin Mengya's appearance sent a shiver down their spines.
This woman was cunning and her methods were terrifying.
The shadow of that man was still haunting them, making them restless.
Now, she had appeared again with a smile on her face. She looked like a butcher sizing up his prey.
No, perhaps an executioner who knew how to be meticulous would be more suitable for the current situation.
"Don't be afraid. Each of you has something I'm interested in. Of course, I won't hurt you so easily. You can use it as a capital to deal with me. You can even bargain with me. "
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya's first words were to instigate them to put up a stubborn resistance against her.
She was not trying to coerce or bribe them, but these people could not figure out what she was thinking.
"What a pity …"
Lin Mengya changed the topic and there was a look of awkwardness in her eyes.
"What a pity that only one person has this opportunity. As for the others, I'm more than willing to use them as medicine men. "
With a flip of her left hand, six colorful, round, and smooth pills lay quietly in her white, jade-like palm.
Immediately, the seven people who were tied up tightly could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
At that time, their companions had also taken the same pill, which was why they had become so crazy.
It was said that some physicians who specialized in the art of poison would also keep many medicine men.
They would definitely end up in a miserable state.
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry and you don't have to be either. However, when the sun rises in the east, it will be the time for you to decide who will be the one to stay. Take your time, I can afford to wait. "
Yu An had already instructed his men to bring a table and a chair over. Lin Mengya sat on the chair, unruffled and unruffled. Six pills of different colors were placed on a square plate.
The plate was made of pure white jade, and there were six pills of different colors. Under the illumination of the light, it shone with a strange luster.
There was only one chance for the seven of them. In the beginning, the atmosphere was silent.
The chance to survive was right in front of them and it was impossible for them not to be tempted.
Moreover, she had already announced that the remaining six people would be left behind to be her medicine men.
A sense of fear that was thousands of times more terrifying than death had already grasped everyone's heart bit by bit as time passed.
"Don't think that you can scare us like this! Brothers, I'll make a move first! "
A cold and hard voice rang out. Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tanned, strong face.
Seeking death? What a joke. That person wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but his body went limp and he couldn't use any strength at all.
"If you wanted to die, you would have died long ago. There's no need to pretend to be loyal subjects and servants in front of me. I've investigated your background. You're not anyone's trusted aides. You're just Jianghu thugs who have been bribed with money. Of course, if you want to be loyal to your master, I won't stop you. Men, cut off his tongue and feed it to him. "
Lin Mengya's tone was not anxious at all. These seven people, including those who blocked her way out and were poisoned by her, seemed to be out to capture her alive. They did not intend to hurt her.
Moreover, Li Yuan's servants were not the only guards around her.
Regardless of which force it was, it would be more likely for Zuo Qiuyu and the others to find out if their trusted aides were mixed in.
This was because even with Li Yuan's secret help, they could not be sloppy in their investigations.
Therefore, the best option was to spend money to find some unfamiliar faces in the jianghu. Firstly, even if they were caught, they would not be able to get any information out of them.
Secondly, after the deed was done, they could get rid of the matter quietly and there would be few people who would come to investigate.
This was a safe and effective way to kill two birds with one stone. Anyone who was slightly intelligent would certainly do this.
However, there was a possibility that one or two of these people were the hirer's men. They might be in charge of surveillance or commanding.
In this case, there was a high possibility that this person was still lurking among the remaining guards.
However, the four who were dead and the one who had gone mad were definitely not the hirer's men.
This was because he still had to send a letter to his master. How could he do it himself?
Moreover, Lin Mengya had left them in the woodshed to dry for a long time. Now, the tendon-softening powder had come into effect.
They might not have the strength to bite their tongues to commit suicide.
The effect of the medicine slowly spread. In a short while, the seven men were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, waiting to be slaughtered.
The man who had been clamoring to bite his tongue to commit suicide was now cowering in the innermost circle with a terrified look on his face.
He looked at the pills on the plate in fear and tried to escape from the hands of the two guards with all his might.
Lin Mengya's intention was to scare him. When she saw his reaction, she smiled softly and waved her hand.
"Look at you, I can't make things difficult for you. I'm a soft-hearted person. I'll let you off this time. "
The two guards obediently let go of her and the game of a cat teasing a mouse temporarily came to an end.
However, Lin Mengya's casual attitude made them understand what was going on.
She didn't care about the life and death of these people. The so-called interrogation was just a game for them to kill each other.
Following her happiness and anger, their fates were easily decided just like that.
The weakness of their bodies also brought about despair in their hearts.
In fact, Lin Mengya didn't do anything. She just gave them some psychological hints.
The silence was broken under the pressure.
Their confused minds brought about a farce of betrayal and frame-up.
"Your Highness! I'll tell you … I'll tell you everything. Please give me a chance! "
Some cowards began to plead for mercy. A series of interlocking reactions happened within Lin Mengya's expectation.
"You traitor … I'm going to kill you!"
There were still those who were loyal to her. Even though it was difficult for them to speak, they still defended the interests of their employer.
Of course, there were also those who hid in the corner and watched the show coldly, trying to find opportunities and flaws in the other party.
"Brother … I've always been good to you. Let's … join forces now. Maybe we can get the princess to let us go!"
The temporary alliance of interests brought about an even more chaotic scene.
There were only seven of them, but the battle of words was comparable to the battle of the women in the harem.
"Alright, I'll give you a small chance. I want to know who sent you to sneak in. "
Those who wanted to live immediately shouted out, fearing that Lin Mengya would be dissatisfied if they were too slow.
"We don't know. We only know that after we capture the princess, we'll send her to the City God Temple in the west of the city!"
The two of them, who were calling each other brothers just a moment ago, flew into a rage out of humiliation just because one of them spoke too quickly.
。
Although their hands and feet were tied, they used the last of their strength to ram into the other party.
"City God Temple?"
Lin Mengya gave Yu An a look and he immediately retreated quietly.
Although the scene was chaotic, it was a little childish and funny.
Seven people, who were tied up like dumplings, were bumping into each other.
Although their faces were red and their necks were thick, it was difficult for them to even speak.
However, real jealousy and hatred had been planted in their hearts.
Lin Mengya knew that once they regained their strength, it would turn into a real bloody battle.
"I'm tired and it's not long before dawn. Let me ask you one last time. Apart from the two of them, who else wants to forsake the darkness and join the light? "
Lin Mengya, who was in high spirits a moment ago, instantly put on a cold face.
She stood up and said impatiently.
The farce stopped for a moment. Everyone's heart was calculating their own thoughts.
"Alright, since there's no one. Let's do as I said. Men, take them away. As for the others, feed them a pill each. "
Lin Mengya gave her order in a cold voice. At this moment, the remaining five people were so scared that they wet their pants.
Immediately, another three defected and kowtowed to Lin Mengya, begging for mercy.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Now, write down everything you know on a piece of paper. Of course, if all of you write differently, I'll punish the five of you. However, if some of you write the same thing, I'll punish the rest of you if they write differently. Take them away. No collusion is allowed. "
The faces of the five of them, which were filled with anticipation just now, became a little distorted at this moment.
They doubted each other, but they couldn't help but hope that someone could write the same thing as them.
However, before they left, under the guidance of Lin Mengya's advanced throwing technique, the two people who had taken the medicine saw the miserable situation again.
The wails of living a life worse than death, as well as the horrifying scene, were left in everyone's mind.
"Princess, I have already sent someone to the City God Temple. However, I didn't find anything unusual. "
The moment Lin Mengya came out of the woodshed, Yu An whispered into her ear.
"I think so too. Since they are so careful in their actions, I'm afraid that after they succeed, they will also have an agreed secret signal. Send people to the Crown Prince's Mansion and the surroundings of the City God Temple to gather information. All the new residents who moved in within the past three months must be thoroughly investigated. "
"Yes."
Since she could not touch Li Yuan for the time being, she could only start with the people around him.
Yu An hurriedly went to make arrangements, but Lin Mengya did not have the time to return to her room.
A familiar dark figure appeared in front of her.
"Ye! How did you — you're injured! What happened? "
The person in front of her was none other than Long Tianhao's shadow guard, Ling Ye. However, at this moment, his black robe was drenched.
Lin Mengya smelled a strong smell of blood. She took a step forward and saw that Ling Ye's body was already covered in blood.
"The prince was ambushed and captured. Your Highness, please think of a way to save the prince!"
Instinctively, Lin Mengya wanted to help Ling Ye up, but she did not expect him to bring her a shocking piece of news.
