Qi Ning followed the minions walking through the underground passages. The minions were quite familiar with the underground passages. They turned east and west. Qi Ning secretly remembered that after a while, when he came out of a passage, the front suddenly became clear. Moreover, the fire was bright. Qining glanced at it and saw an extremely empty place in front of him.
In a circle, there are more than ten thick fire pillars standing on them, with fires burning on them and the flames are rising. In the middle of the venue is a three-story high platform, each floor has six steps, made of black stone. There is no one on the high platform. But around the high platform, there were crowds of people.
Around the black stage, they were divided into seven or eight small teams. Each team had at least twenty or thirty people, all of whom were lined up neatly. The gangster led Qi Ning to the back of one small team. Twenty people were already lined up in front of him. There were many people. Qi Ning and the gangster stood at the back. Everyone present had their faces covered. Qi Ning was not worried about being discovered. The gangster only thought that he had been poisoned and wanted to survive. Worried that Qining will be found out.
Qining found that right in front of the team, there was an erected stone tablet with a blood-red "D" carved on it. Next to the stone tablet, stood a masked man. The color of his clothes was quite different from the others, and he had to tie up A yellow belt is very conspicuous.
He looked around and soon understood that there were stone tablets erected in front of the other teams. The stone tablet on the left was engraved with the word "C", while the one on the right was engraved with the word "五". Each stone tablet Next to them, there was also a big man with a yellow belt around his waist.
Qi Ning knew that those big men with yellow belts around their waists should be the leaders of each team, and when each team gathered, the stone tablet would be a symbol.
Although there are no less than two hundred people in the Ghost King Hall, everyone seems to be controlling their breathing, and the huge Ghost King Hall is completely silent.
Qining knew that this was a habit accumulated over many years. These people were obviously full of fear when they were in the Ghost King's Hall.
At this moment, he saw several figures boarding the Black Stone Platform. Qining's eyes were like lightning. He saw three people boarding the Black Stone Platform. The first one was short and very thin, but he was wearing a long gown. Suddenly he saw that person. Qining was slightly surprised by the dwarf's face. At first glance, the dwarf's face was as white as snow and looked extremely bright, but Qining soon saw that the dwarf was actually wearing a mask.
The face of the mask was not ferocious, but rather resembled that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old doll, but the snow-white color paired with the doll mask made it look eerie and strange.
Behind the short man, there were two people, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was tall and the one on the right was slightly thin. They were all wearing long robes, but their faces were also covered with masks. For a while, the true appearance of these people could not be clearly seen. .
Qin Ning knew in his heart that one of the three people must be the Ghost King, and wondered whether the dwarf was the Ghost King that everyone was talking about? So who are the other two
"After you all come to the island, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and there will never be any shortage of monthly wages." A high-pitched voice sounded very suddenly, and it was the short, baby-faced man who said: "I consider myself to be extremely benevolent to you, and I have never been short of wages." There’s nothing harsh about it, but I don’t know what you think in your heart?”
There was silence all around, and no one spoke.
"Life on the island is indeed boring." Baby Face said: "I can also understand your difficulties, so I often bring you beautiful women from outside. These women are carefully selected, and no one is thrown into it. In a brothel, you can become the top one. Many of you don’t know that if you want to be intimate with the top ones in a brothel, you not only need to make a reservation in advance, but also pay dozens of taels of silver per night. All the girls here only need one. Two pieces of silver, you know in your heart whether I take care of you or not."
Everyone present remained silent.
The baby-faced man walked slowly around the stage with his hands behind his back and sighed: "Five years is neither short nor long. When the time is up, I took a few hundred taels of silver and went back to buy a house and land. It can be said that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Such a good thing may not be found even with a lantern. There are countless people in the world who want to get this job, but this good thing has happened to you. You should thank your ancestors It's about accumulating virtue." The voice suddenly said: "Is the leader of Gengzi Monument here?"
Then someone in the audience said: "The villain is here!"
"If I remember correctly, it has been three and a half years since you came to the island." Baby Face said slowly: "Before you came to the island, you were just a martial artist who looked after the home and nursery. You knew some kung fu and earned ten taels of silver a month. , did I remember correctly?"
"The Ghost King... That's what the Ghost King said."
"After arriving on the island, within just one year, I promoted you to be the leader." Baby Face said: "My monthly salary doubled, and I got twenty taels of silver. In addition, every time I sent you Girls, they will put you first and let you choose from them, is this correct?"
The leader of the Geng-character stele said: "The ghost king is so kind and kind, the villain... the villain will never forget it!"
The baby-faced boy shook his head and said, "You're very articulate." He said in a sharp voice, "Where is the leader of the B-shaped Monument?"
"Young one is here!" A rough voice responded loudly.
The baby-faced man said: "The leader of Gengzi Monument claims that he is deeply grateful for my great kindness. Do you think what he said is true or false?"
"False!" The leader of the Yizi Monument said without hesitation: "This person has ulterior motives, plotting rebellion and trying to kill the Ghost King. He also wants to control the island and make himself king!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience changed their expressions. The leader of the Geng-character Monument shouted anxiously: "Ghost King, he... he is a slanderer. This villain is loyal to the Ghost King and has absolutely no second thoughts. Please... I beg the Ghost King to see clearly!"
The baby-faced man said calmly: "I will not wrong a good person. The B-shaped tablet is responsible for the accounts, and you, the Geng-shaped tablet, are responsible for transporting goods, so you have a lot of contact with each other on weekdays." After a slight pause, he continued: "As long as there are accounts, Right and wrong will become clear."
At this time, someone came up from the audience, holding the account book in his hand, and presented it to Baby Face. After taking it, Baby Face turned over it and said: "The accounts are here. In January this year, the cargo ship docked, and what was recorded in the accounts was , a total of 264 boxes of goods were disembarked, but only 262 boxes were put into the warehouse, two boxes missing. In the early hours of this morning, the cargo ship arrived, with a total of 222 boxes, but the actual number of boxes put into the warehouse was Two more boxes are missing. Adding them up, there are four boxes missing. Am I right?"
The leader of the B-shaped tablet said: "The ghost king knows everything clearly and there is absolutely no mistake."
"That's weird." Baby Face threw the account book back to the leader of the B-shaped Monument: "There are four boxes of goods missing for no reason, but where did they go?" He looked down at the leader of the Geng-shaped Monument: "Tell me about it. , where are those four boxes of goods hidden now?"
"Young man... I don't know...!" The leader of Gengzi Monument said in a weak tone.
"You are responsible for carrying the goods. There are eight teams in total on the island. Your Gengzi Monument has the fewest people, and they are all strong." The baby face sighed: "Others don't know the whereabouts of the goods that came ashore, but you do. If you still say you don't know, it would be an insult to my wisdom."
Qi Ning saw from a distance that the leader of the Geng-character Monument took a few steps back. Behind him, there were quite a few people, at least forty or fifty.
"Since you don't want to say it, you can only let others say it for you." Baby Face said coldly: "Leader of the B-shaped Monument, tell me what happened?"
"Back to the Ghost King, in the past few years, because the Y-character Monument and the Geng-Character Monument have cooperated more, the villain has been in contact with the leader of the Geng-Character Monument." The leader of the Y-Character Monument said: "Since last year, he has been deliberately getting closer to me. In private, he called the villain a brother, and often said some rebellious words. The villain wanted to see what he wanted, so he always agreed with him. At the end of last year, he found the villain privately and asked him if he wanted to occupy this island. , the villain was shocked, and he said that instead of being manipulated like this, it would be better to occupy the island and become the king, free and happy."
"You...you are talking nonsense and spewing blood!" the leader of Gengzi Monument shouted angrily.
The leader of the Yizi Monument ignored him at all and continued: "He said that as long as the Ghost King can be killed first and the island is controlled, when the cargo ship arrives, the cargo ship can be held hostage. In this way, not only can you own the island, but also With the cargo ship at hand, we can dominate one side."
"Kill me?" Baby Face let out a sharp, strange laugh: "He wants to kill me?"
"Yes." The leader of the B-shaped Monument said: "The Ghost King has great trust in him. He does not want to repay him. Instead, he intends to harm the Ghost King."
"I don't believe what you say." Baby Face shook his head and said, "How can he kill me by himself?"
The leader of the Yi-zi Monument said: "He has been in charge of the Geng-zi Monument for more than two years. He already has many close associates under his command. These people are bewitched by him and are willing to act with him. This person's plan is to find an opportunity to gather the Y-zi Monument and Geng The two teams of Zi Bei are working together to cause chaos and kill the Ghost King." He glanced at the leader of Geng Zi Bei in the audience and said: "As long as these two teams are taking action, other teams will not dare to act rashly, and some people will even act together."
Baby Face laughed strangely and said, "Who are his cronies? Do you know?"
"The villain observes carefully on weekdays, and is sure that at least eight people will join him in causing trouble." The leader of the B-shaped Monument took out an account book from his arms and approached the baby face: "The villain wrote down all their names and asked the Ghost King to Take a look."
Qining thought that today's meeting was because the leader of the Geng-character Monument wanted to rebel. The leader of the Geng-character Monument had made an appointment with the leader of the Y-character Monument in advance to join forces to get rid of the Ghost King and then control Haifeng Island. However, the leader of the Geng-character Monument However, the leader betrayed the leader of the Geng-character Monument and exposed all the plans of the leader of the Geng-Character Monument. He knew in his heart that the fate of the leader of the Geng-Character Monument today would be very miserable.
The leader of the B-shaped monument walked to Baby Face and opened the ledger. Suddenly, he saw the leader of the B-shaped monument grab a dagger from the ledger and stabbed Baby Face in the throat without any warning.
The leader of the B-shaped Monument had obviously learned some kung fu, and his attacks were extremely quick, and the position he took was exactly where the Ghost King was fatal.
