Chapter 159 How can you still shed your skin?
Ji Xingyi splashed tea on Song Sanniang's face. Song Sanniang slowly woke up and immediately realized that she had been kidnapped when she saw the three people.
Wang Zhe held a knife to Song San Niang's neck: "You old hag! Quickly confess all the evil deeds you've done!"
Instead of being afraid, Song San Niang laughed and even gave Wang Zhe a flirtatious wink.
"I can't take it anymore!" Wang Zhe covered his mouth, handed the knife back to Ji Xingyi, and rushed to the stern to vomit.
Song San Niang once again looked at Ji Xingyi and Chen Jiangqiao with seductive eyes. Chen Jiangqiao got goosebumps. Ji Xingyi was too lazy to say anything and stabbed Song San Niang's palm with a knife. Before Song San Niang could scream, Ji Xingyi stuffed a rag into the woman's mouth.
After the woman caught her breath, Ji Xing asked, "What is your relationship with Jin Lushan?"
At her age, Song San Niang could tell whether the other party was bluffing or genuinely intended to kill her. Accustomed to a life of luxury, she couldn't withstand torture. To minimize her pain, she decisively confessed, "He is my brother-in-law."
Chen Jiangqiao's pupils widened: "Really?"
Song San Niang: "I am the third child in my family, so they call me San Niang. You have also met my second sister, and my eldest sister is indeed Jin Lushan's first wife."
Song San Niang's eldest sister was named Song Ying, and they all called her Ying Niang.
Ji Xingyi frowned: "How did she die?"
Song San Niang sighed and lowered her head: "She died of illness. She died young and didn't get to enjoy any blessings."
Chen Jiangqiao: "Since Jin Lushan is your brother-in-law, you should know about Jin Lushan making 'beauty fans' out of human skin, right?"
Upon hearing this question, Song San Niang's expression changed slightly: "I know some things, but I don't know the specifics of how he did it."
Ji Xingyi pulled out his knife and grabbed Song San Niang's hand, pretending to chop it off.
"Wait!" Song San Niang hurriedly exclaimed, "Jin Lushan's mansion has an underground palace built beneath it, where he hides to make the 'beauty fans'!"
Ji Xingyi sneered and raised his knife again.
"There's a monster hiding in the underground palace! It's that monster eating people!" Song San Niang shouted in terror. At her age, losing an arm was no different from taking her life!
"What monster?" Chen Jiangqiao pressed.
"I don't know." Song San Niang shook her head frantically, afraid that the others wouldn't believe her. "I haven't been there many times. I only know that he throws people into the blood pool, and then the monsters in the blood pool will eat them until only their skin is left!"
Wang Zhe's eyes widened: "Holy crap, so Jin Lushan was just picking up the BOSS's leftovers?"
Ji Xingyi: "Have you ever asked him what it is?"
Song San Niang smiled bitterly: "Of course I asked, but he told me that if I wanted to know, I should jump into the pool myself. When I heard that, how could I dare to do it! When Ying Niang was alive, Jin Lushan treated us sisters well. After Ying Niang died, he still took care of our business. I guess he had a conscience."
After Ji Xingyi had Song Sanniang draw the outline of the underground palace of the Jin residence, he once again swung his knife and slit the woman's throat.
Wang Zhe looked at Song San Niang's corpse with regret in his eyes: "Why did you kill her like that?"
Ji Xingyi was puzzled. Song Sanniang and Jin Lushan were so close, why not kill her and wait for Song Sanniang to go back and report?
Wang Zhe looked annoyed: "I haven't even vented my anger yet!"
Ji Xingyi: "..."
Chen Jiangqiao couldn't resist raising his leg and kicking Wang Zhe into the river.
Song San Niang's men were still on other pleasure boats and would discover her body sooner or later. Having obtained the clue, the three immediately swam away from the pleasure boat.
Just as he climbed ashore, Wang Zhe spotted Wang Bo's figure with his sharp eyes.
"What's that kid doing in such a hurry?" Wang Zhe nudged Chen Jiangqiao's arm.
Chen Jiangqiao asked suspiciously, "Have you found any clues?"
Ji Xingyi's expression turned stern: "We'll find out once we catch up."
The three acted immediately, taking a detour through a small alley and intercepting Wang Bo before he returned to the Qingshui Inn.
Wang Bo was unaware of what had happened at the Qingshui Inn. Upon seeing the three of them, he naturally and voluntarily handed over the important clues he had found.
All three were taken aback upon hearing this.
"You said you found a hole under the Bridge of Three Lives?"
“Yes, that hole is right under the bridge pier, covered by seaweed. I was so stupid, I swam around there several times before I finally found it.” Wang Bo said, then slammed his fist on his head.
Ji Xingyi: "Have you been inside?"
"No, I just found it and was about to tell everyone." Wang Bo didn't know how deep the hole was. He wasn't a very good swimmer and couldn't hold his breath for long.
Chen Jiangqiao: "I understand now. There's a blood pool in the underground palace, and the cave under the Three Lives Bridge must lead to the underground palace! The BOSS dragged the person directly from the underwater passage to the blood pool, and then..."
Chen Jiangqiao stopped abruptly at this point.
Wang Bo's eyes reddened: "What did you do to him...?"
Since things had come to this point, Ji Xingyi no longer intended to hide anything and revealed his guess that Zhu Qingya might have been skinned and made into a beauty fan.
Wang Bo swayed, but fortunately Wang Zhe pulled him up in time so he didn't fall.
Wang Bo walked to a corner and squatted down, looking dejected.
Wang Zhe wanted to go over and offer some words of comfort, but Ji Xingyi stopped him, signaling him to calm down on his own.
Wang Zhe sighed: "With no woman in my heart, I naturally draw my sword with divine skill."
"Want to try the Three Lives Bridge Cave?" Chen Jiangqiao pulled the two aside and asked in a low voice, "This way we can bypass Jin Lushan's guards."
"No way, what if I end up kissing the BOSS underwater?" Wang Zhe said he didn't have the guts; that would be like going straight into the BOSS's mouth!
Ji Xingyi also rejected the suggestion: "We don't know the situation inside the tunnel. If there isn't enough oxygen, people will suffocate and no one can save them."
Judging from the straight-line distance from Sansheng Bridge to Jinzhai Underground Palace, Ji Xingyi could hold his breath and swim across, but if the underground waterway is winding and not a straight-line distance, he might really die inside.
Chen Jiangqiao glanced at the time. The Blood Moon Shadow Revelation was to be held after sunset today, and they had about 4 hours to go.
Wang Zhe patted Ji Xingyi on the shoulder: "We still have time!"
Ji Xingyi suddenly frowned as Wang Zhe patted his injured shoulder. Ji Xingyi vaguely sensed something was wrong and unbuttoned his shirt.
Chen Jiangqiao looked over in confusion, then gasped in shock: "You're so cheeky!"
Ji Xingyi glanced at it and saw that the wound that Guo Xinwen had stitched up had not only reopened, but the skin on the side was also peeling up as if it had been soaked in water.
Ji Xingyi frowned slightly and rolled up his sleeves. He saw that the situation on his right arm was even worse. Because of the painkiller, he could not feel the pain, so Ji Xingyi had not noticed that large patches of skin on his arm had peeled off, and the flesh underneath had turned white after being soaked in the water.
Wang Zhe's eyes widened: "How can you peel off skin?"
"Shut up!" Chen Jiangqiao said solemnly. "It's the effect of Qingxi tea."
