Chapter 302 Going back on one's word
The two of them looked at each other, and saw panic in each other's eyes.
With Li Xiaoxiao in front and several grown men staring at them covetously from behind, the two didn't know what to do for a moment.
Finally, they knelt firmly on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to Li Xiaoxiao: "My beautiful lady, we really know we were wrong. Please give us a chance to correct our mistakes. We will never dare to do it again."
"I said I want a leg. If you keep talking nonsense, you will be the same as the people on the ground." Li Xiaoxiao said coldly.
"I will give you all the money I have, please forgive me this time. I have old and young people at home. If I become lame with one leg, my whole family will not be able to survive." The two men played the emotional card and knelt on the ground, unable to get up.
"When you kidnapped my mother, didn't you think that she also had elderly parents and young children to take care of?" Li Xiaoxiao's words left the two of them speechless. They opened their lips but didn't say a word for a long time.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Li Xiaoxiao aimed at their knees and shot each of them. The two men who were originally kneeling on the ground fell to the ground in pain, and immediately let out wails of pain.
"Thank you for taking care of them, cousin." Li Xiaoxiao immediately put on a flattering smile towards Si Chengxu. Who asked her to use him?
As for why she dared to shoot in front of Si Chengxu, Li Xiaoxiao had already thought of an excuse. If he really asked, she would say that it was a hidden weapon that she picked up by accident. Hidden weapons were popular in ancient times, and there were all kinds of them, so pistols could also be classified as such. If asked how she knew the source, she would just say that she picked it up.
"Take them away and give them a proper beating." Si Chengxu gave the order without even raising his eyelids.
"The girl said she only wants one leg, you can't go back on your word." Hearing Si Chengxu's words, the two immediately became panicked.
"I really only want one of your legs, right? As for what happens to him? That's not something I can control." Li Xiaoxiao spread out his hands, looking innocent.
"You..." The two were so angry that they opened their mouths to curse, but they swallowed the words back. The minion B was a lesson for them. If they annoyed Li Xiaoxiao and then shot them, wouldn't their next life be ruined?
The three were taken away, and soon screams were heard from outside the cave. The sound was shrill, and every scream made One-Eyed Dragon and Scar Brother tremble with fear.
The three of them were merely accomplices, yet they received such severe punishment. When thinking about what they had done, the consequences were simply unimaginable.
"Girl, we were also instructed by someone. We didn't intend to be your enemy. We didn't hurt your family at all. Please spare us." The one-eyed dragon begged for mercy immediately when he saw that the situation was not favorable to him.
"Look, we are all so badly injured. Have you calmed down now?" Scar Brother also begged for mercy.
"Tell me, who ordered you to kidnap my mother? If you confess, perhaps I can let you off the hook." Li Xiaoxiao came up to them with a cold voice. Although she had long suspected that it was Si Wei Zhong who did it, she still wanted to ask clearly in case there were other people who became her enemies, so she could take precautions in advance.
In the capital city, there is a mix of good and bad people, and it is possible that you might offend someone if you are not careful.
One-Eyed Dragon and Scar Brother did not reply, but their eyes involuntarily looked at Si Chengxu. Li Xiaoxiao said that he only wanted one leg of those two minions.
But just from the screams of the two of them outside the cave, I knew that the man in front of me was very cruel, so I couldn't believe everything Li Xiaoxiao said.
As if guessing what the two were thinking, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I promise you, my cousin will definitely not do anything to you this time."
"Are you serious?" The one-eyed man still didn't quite believe it and asked again uncertainly.
"Of course it's true. I swear to God, I will never let my cousin touch you." Li Xiaoxiao pretended to stretch out three fingers and said solemnly.
"You say so, cousin."
"Yes." Si Chengxu said coldly without even looking at the two of them.
After getting a positive answer, Scar Brother and One-Eyed Dragon reluctantly believed it.
"I don't know who it was. From the very beginning, someone contacted us via carrier pigeons and told us what to do." Scar Brother couldn't write, so all of this was done by One-Eyed Man alone.
"You accept the task without even knowing who it is, and you don't even ask for a deposit?" Li Xiaoxiao was obviously a little skeptical. People like this wouldn't do anything until they see the rabbit.
"We also asked for a deposit before, but the other party said that your family has a lot of money, and when they come to redeem the silver, they will give us half, so we didn't ask for the deposit." When he said this, the one-eyed dragon's voice became much lower. He secretly glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, and was relieved when he saw that she had no reaction.
"So you don't know who the other person is, and you have never seen him." Li Xiaoxiao frowned. This person is really good at hiding.
"Absolutely not, we have always been communicating through letters." The one-eyed man shook his head in denial.
"Show me the letters you exchanged." Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, trying to see if he could find some clues from the letters.
"Girl, my hands and feet are still tied, how about you untie me first?" The one-eyed man had always been exchanging letters with his employer, and now the letters were all on him. He was tied up with ropes, and the ropes had to be untied to get the letters out.
Li Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and the next second Si Yi untied the rope on him.
As soon as he was free, the one-eyed man quickly took out all the letters in his arms, there were more than a dozen of them, and handed them respectfully to Li Xiaoxiao.
I read all the letters carefully and found that the handwriting on each letter was different. It was obvious that the other party was a cautious person and was afraid that others would find him by following the handwriting. In this case, it would be really difficult to find him.
"After your last letter, has the other party never written to you again?"
"Yes, maybe he knew he was discovered, so he stopped writing letters, and even the carrier pigeon disappeared." Thinking of this, the one-eyed dragon became depressed. He had been busy for so long, but not only did he get nothing, but now he was still under someone else's control.
"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding, and then said to Si Yi: "Send these two to the government office, and tell the prefect what happened today, and ask the prefect to judge."
"What? You want to send us to the government? How can you go back on your word?" Scar Brother got furious and his eyes widened. They had committed many crimes. If they were sent to the government, they would probably have to stay there for the rest of their lives.
"A person must be honest and not go back on his word. You just promised me." The one-eyed dragon was also panicked. If he was sent to the yamen, the consequences would be unimaginable.
