BXBX NOVEL Chapter 301 - Plea
One of the girls screamed, but her mouth was quickly covered by the person beside her.
The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Shen Yijia with wide eyes. The latter had already arrived in front of him.
Shen Yijia put on a straight face and kicked the man in black in the abdomen. She reached out and grabbed his neck. With a crack, the man died on the spot.
At this moment, Song Jingchen rushed over. He took a look and turned around. “Jiajia, come out.”
Shen Yijia let go and glanced at the girls who were looking at her hopefully but did not dare to make a sound.
She pursed her lips and walked towards Song Jingchen.
“Please save us.”
A timid voice came from behind.
Shen Yijia stopped in her tracks. Before she could speak, Song Jingchen’s cold voice sounded again. “Someone will come and bring you out later.”
He held Shen Yijia’s hand. “Let’s go out first.”
“Yes.” Shen Yijia also knew that these people probably didn’t want to be seen in this state.
After walking for about half an hour, there was suddenly no path ahead.
Seeing Shen Yijia staring at the stone wall in front of her, Song Jingchen reminded her, “This should be a secret door.”
“Oh.” Shen Yijia nodded and patted the wall.
With a click, the stone wall in front of them slowly moved to the sides.
Shen Yijia wanted to see if this stone door was hard.
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched.
He had just estimated the direction the secret passage led to. If nothing unexpected happened, the other exit of this secret passage should be in Jing’an Temple.
When the secret passage ended, there was a row of wooden stairs in front of him.
Just as Song Jingchen had thought, the two of them had already returned to Jing’an Temple when they came out of the secret passage.
Looking at the neat and elegant room in front of her, Shen Yijia had a guess.
“Let my daughter go.”
A shrill voice sounded outside. The two of them looked at each other and walked out.
Mo Yuan placed her sword against Liu Piaopiao’s neck expressionlessly. Thirty Thousand, who was standing beside her, was clearly injured.
The two of them had their backs facing them. In front of them was Liu Deyi and Madam Zeng.
Madam Zeng looked at Mo Yuan with red eyes. The voice just now came from her mouth.
The two sides faced each other.
The appearance of the two of them immediately attracted the attention of Liu Deyi and the others. He looked at Song Jingchen angrily. “There’s no grudge between us. Why are you meddling in other people’s business?”
“Do those people you locked up have a grudge against you?” Shen Yijia asked angrily.
Because of Song Jingchen’s intervention in the trafficking incident in Anyang County, he managed to save the kidnapped women in time.
However, even so, a few women chose to hang themselves after the incident. Shen Yijia was reminded of that incident.
Those people were not even as old as her. In this ancient era, a woman’s reputation was highly valued.
Even if Shen Yijia could not imagine what they would have to face in the future, she knew that their lives would be ruined.
“This has nothing to do with my daughter. She doesn’t know anything. Let her go,” Madam Zeng cried.
Ever since she found out that someone had entered the secret passage, Madam Zeng knew that they wouldn’t be able to escape this time.
Shen Yijia glanced at Liu Piaopiao’s back and pursed her lips without saying anything.
Song Jingchen said, “Let her go.”
Mo Yuan paused, retracted her sword, and retreated to her master’s side with South Wind.
Liu Piaopiao stood there without moving. She looked at Madam Zeng, who was crying her heart out, and closed her eyes in self-reproach.
When her father brought people over just now, they could have escaped, but because of her…
Snow suddenly fell from the sky.
There were flames outside the temple. Soon, the flames arrived and surrounded the small courtyard.
It was the monk from Jing’an Temple who had brought Shangguan Han and the others over.
When they started fighting here, they hid and only dared to come out when they saw the soldiers coming up.
Shangguan Han waved his hand. “Arrest them all.”
Perhaps knowing that resistance was useless, the people Liu Deyi brought threw away their swords.
“Are you alright?” Shangguan Han walked closer and asked, not daring to call Song Jingchen his cousin in front of outsiders.
“I’m fine,” Song Jingchen said indifferently. He turned to the group of monks and asked, “Is everyone in the temple here?”
The old monk looked at everyone present and was about to reply.
Wu Chen jumped out. “I know, I know. Senior Brother Yan Ming and Yan Song have left the mountain.”
Everyone hid behind the Buddha statue. Wu Chen felt that it was too stupid. He hid in the grass behind the temple and happened to see his two senior brothers going down the mountain from the back path.
He was afraid that the two of them would snatch his territory, so he didn’t say anything.
Song Jingchen frowned.
“I’ve ordered people to surround the foot of the mountain. They won’t be able to escape,” Shangguan Han said.
Song Jingchen didn’t say anything else and could only place his hopes on them.
It was snowing heavily, and everyone’s heads were soon covered in snow. Under the suggestion of the little monk, the group was arrested and brought to the front hall.
Next was the interrogation.
Tears streamed down Liu Piaopiao’s face as she watched her parents being taken away.
Seeing that she had nothing to do here, Shen Yijia thought of the women in the stone room. She asked the old monk for more than ten monk robes and prepared to bring Mo Yuan to the stone room.
Liu Piaopiao suddenly ran over and blocked their way. “Can you help beg Lord An Le to spare my parents’ lives?”
Seeing her like this, Shen Yijia sighed and said, “Come with me.”
She brought Liu Piaopiao to the stone room.
Earlier, when she asked them to wait, the dozen or so people really did not dare to move. They maintained the same posture that they were in when Shen Yijia left.
Liu Piaopiao covered her mouth and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She was trembling.
The injuries on the women’s bodies, the bloodstains on the stone wall.
These signs were all telling her that her parents had caused all of this.
Those people did not seem to expect Shen Yijia to really return. Their eyes lit up, but when Shen Yijia approached, they cowered in fear.
Shen Yijia frowned and asked Mo Yuan to throw the monk robes over.
“Get dressed.”
The girls looked at each other. After confirming that Shen Yijia was not with those bad people, they quickly picked up their clothes and put them on.
“You can still walk on your own, right? After you’re dressed, follow me out,” Shen Yijia said.
At this moment, someone whispered, “She’s the young lady of the Liu family. Could it be that Great Philanthropist Liu sent someone to save us?”
The words “Great Philanthropist Liu” were like a slap to Liu Piaopiao’s face. She staggered and turned to run.
Shen Yijia felt a headache coming on. She corrected them, “My husband and I saved you.”
The Great Philanthropist Liu was the one who locked them up, after all.
After instructing Mo Yuan to bring these people along, Shen Yijia turned around and chased after Liu Piaopiao.
Shangguan Han sat in the meditation room and listened to Zuo Fei report the results of the interrogation. He frowned so hard that he could kill with his looks alone.
