The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 207 I can’t be so proud anymore

When he heard that Master Shen Qi was going to move the treasure hidden secretly, Nianzi panicked a little. The things in that place couldn't be seen by the public at this time!

Nianzi hesitated and asked, "Treasure? Master... didn't you say that the treasure cannot be moved in the next few years?"

Master Shen Qi had already lost his composure. He waved his hand and said dejectedly, "What can I do? Compared with Madam, Madam is more important."

Nianzi said, "Master, you can't! We got it from an ancient king's tomb in the southwest wilderness. If anything inside comes out and is recognized by the locals, they may be able to trace back to us, and then we will..."

Master Shen Qi didn't wait for him to finish, and kicked him on the calf, saying, "Who told you to touch the things in the tomb? I told you to take the money that Second Uncle Yan gave me and placed it in the tomb."

Nianzi scratched his head and said, "But that's not enough!"

Master Shen Qi blinked his eyes and felt that he couldn't calculate it. He asked blankly: "How much is left?"

Nianzi counted on his fingers and said, "I still need three thousand taels of silver."

Master Shen Qi also counted on his fingers. He squinted his eyes at the millstone and said, "It's really a big difference... How about... taking some of the gold buried in the coffin? After all, it's gold and there's no mark on it. It's okay! The locals can't tell."

Nianzi also knew that his master was at his wit's end, so he scratched his head and agreed to do so.

Nianzi and his men raced against time to raise the ransom, and handed it to Master Shen Qi before noon the next day. Master Shen Qi then took his men to the back mountain to meet the kidnappers.

Before this, Master Shen Qi had already sent several martial arts brothers who were good at archery to ambush in hidden places around, waiting for the kidnapper leader to appear and then kill him with one move.

Master Shen Qi waited at the location requested by the kidnappers. After waiting for about half an hour, he saw someone moving in a place covered with weeds not far away. Master Shen Qi and the others were on guard, and then they saw two people coming out of the bushes.

Master Shen Qi was very surprised when he saw it, "Madam? Shi Feng? Why are there only two of you? Where are the kidnappers?"

When Madam Murong saw that it was indeed her son-in-law, she relaxed and her tense body suddenly fell to the ground.

Master Shen Qi quickly hugged her.

Shen Shifeng said, "Dad, we've fallen into a trap. There is a secret passage in our village. Only my grandfather and his traitorous brother know about this. He was the one who caused this incident. He was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Now they have already attacked the village through the secret passage."

When Master Shen Qi heard this, he immediately felt remorseful and ordered everyone to return to the village.

In this way, Master Shen Qi led his men and hurried towards the village.

Along the way, Master Shen Qi grabbed his son Shen Shifeng and asked him to tell him in detail what had happened.

Shen Shifeng told him, "It was that bastard brother of your grandfather. He was dissatisfied with being expelled from the Murong family by your grandfather seven years ago, so he teamed up with outsiders to attack our village. This is not a big deal. The more terrifying thing is that there is actually an insider in our village who is his accomplice. They worked together inside and outside, and our village was captured. Father, do you know who the accomplice who ambushed our village is?"

Master Shen Qi paused, grabbed Shen Shifeng and asked, "Who is it?"

But at this moment Shen Shifeng suddenly became weird in expression, and suddenly slapped Master Shen Qi, causing Master Shen Qi to spit out blood and was seriously injured.

The man controlled Master Shen Qi, and with his hands as hard as pliers, he pinched Master Shen Qi's neck and ordered the guards who were surrounding the millstone, "Don't move! Otherwise, Grandpa will break his neck."

Master Shen Qi finally reacted at this time and said, "You are not my son Shen Shifeng? What kind of magic did you use to make the fake look real? You stayed by my side for such a long time, and I didn't even notice it."

The man took off the human skin mask on his face and said, "My family is the only one who can do this trick. Do you know who I am now?"

There was a Jianghu person who knew him in the crowd, and he immediately said in panic, "Yan Sangeng from Sanjianzhai!"

When Master Shen Qi heard Yan Sangeng's name again, he immediately understood and his eyelids twitched.

Yan Sangeng patted Master Shen Qi's face and said, "I'm sorry, Master Shen Qi. Since you Shen family think you don't know what's good for you, then I, Sanjianzhai, will have to teach you how to behave. Having said that, no one has ever dared to bully my girl wherever she goes. You bastards not only bullied her, you even dared to take her life. You really don't know how to live or die!"

Master Shen Qi was even angrier. He said, "A cheap girl is just a slave after all. You rebels really want to take over my Shen family, but it's too ridiculous to come up with such a ridiculous reason."

Yan Sangeng really wanted to slap him twice.

Yan Sangeng suppressed his emotions and said, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, now that I win and you lose, my girl's blood is not shed in vain. Although I really want to kill you right now, our chief is merciful. Now that you have lost the support of your two fathers-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to shine in the capital."

He looked around at the crowd that was surrounding him and said, "Don't hold on any longer. Since I dare to come to this meeting alone, I must have made all the necessary preparations and have a way out for myself."

Nianzi's mind worked quickly, and he immediately said, "Old Village Chief Murong and Young Master Shifeng are in your hands!"

Yan Sangeng said, "If you know what's good for you, let me go immediately. I'm telling you, your two masters are being hung. As for whether the rope is hanging on their arms or their necks... I don't know. The later you release me, the faster those two will die."

Master Shen Qi was so angry that he immediately said, "We'll let you go, and we'll let you go now."

Nianzi knew that although this man loved to exterminate an entire family, he never did what he said, so he told everyone, "Disperse and let him go."

Then he looked at Yan Sangeng and said, "Can you guarantee that my two masters will not be hanged?"

Yan Sangeng said: "Of course."

Everyone watched Yan Sangeng leave, and then they turned to check on Master Shen Qi's condition.

Master Shen Qi had been pondering the whole ins and outs of the incident in his head. He pointed in the direction of the capital and said, "Brother! You have hurt me so badly!" He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down with his eyes wide open.

It was unknown whether Master Shen Qi was dead or alive, and the group was leaderless. At this time, the real kidnappers came to attack, causing everyone to flee. Nianzi and Shiluzi did not forget to take Master Shen Qi and his wife with them to escape, so Master Shen Qi finally did not fall into the hands of the enemy.

It is true that the kidnapper is the brother of Murong Village Chief. It is also true that he kidnapped Murong Village Chief for ransom. Later, Master Shen Qi fled and the ransom was also robbed. After Master Shen Qi was rescued, he fell seriously ill. The entire southwest wilderness area was quickly controlled by the rebels. This was something Master Shen Qi had never expected. Master Shen Qi had no choice but to return to Lingnan to recuperate.

Now that the people of the Three Houses were mentioned again, Master Shen Qi sighed and said, "I didn't expect the power of the Three Houses to be so terrifying. This is my biggest miscalculation."

Master Shen Qi recuperated for a few days in the small courtyard where Shen Yuanfeng and his mother were temporarily staying, and then a group of people came to see him.

The leader said, "Master Shen Qi is polite. I am the younger brother of the leader of Eighteen Villages. My leader, Dai Liwei, has asked us to bring some money home for Master Shen Qi. The acting leader asked us to tell Master Shen Qi that although he has taken the position of the leader of Eighteen Villages, the things we did in the past with Master Yan Er will not change. Master Yan Er said that the acting leader will handle the affairs of the two families more strictly, so Master Shen Qi can rest assured. The letter from Master Yan Er should arrive soon. Our village has taken out two hundred taels of silver, which is enough for your family to go home."

Having said that, he put the silver down without caring whether Master Shen Qi wanted it or not, and turned and left.

Master Shen Qi felt cold all over, thinking that he was finished? Thinking back to all the hard work he had put in over the years, it was all gone in a day and night like a bubble?

The servant Nianzi ran away angrily, pointing at the group of people who were leaving and cursing, "Bah! A bunch of villains with powerful faces, who are you showing off in front of? Don't you see who our Master Shen Qi is? You bastards!"

After cursing, he naturally wanted to flatter Master Shen Qi by asking for credit. However, as soon as he approached Master Shen Qi, he was startled by Master Shen Qi's pale face and shouted, "Oh Master Qi! It's bad! Master Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Master Shen Qi fainted again.

Master Shen Qi is dying. He has just recovered, but this time he is even more seriously ill.

When the news reached Lord Shen's residence, it happened that Lord Shen no longer went to the palace. The eldest master, the second master and others became even more depressed.

The eldest master pulled his son Shen Maofeng and asked, "How are your father-in-law's families these days? Didn't you say you would wipe out their entire family to pay for the life of that girl from Sanjianzhai?"

When Shen Maofeng heard him speak so bluntly, he slapped himself twice and said, "Bah! Bah! Bah! No taboos! No taboos! Father, don't say anything nonsense in the future. How could the people in the three houses say anything about exterminating the whole family? These are just rumors from outsiders. The more they spread, the more outrageous it becomes. Why do you follow them and say nonsense?"

Master Shen did not bother with his son about this issue. He said, "Anyway, you should keep an eye on the things over there. Now is a time of great trouble. Oh! By the way, is your seventeenth brother anywhere? Hurry up and find him. I think your second uncle is right. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Since he has a close relationship with those people, it is important to find him and make a long-term plan."

Shen Maofeng said: "How could my son not know this truth? But Shen Wen is hiding too well. Besides, Lord Chu is even more powerful. These servants in our family are useless..."

Master Shen sighed.
