Chapter 562 Planting the Seeds of Doubt

The bandit leader looked suspicious. He really didn't know that there was someone behind the Song family. He just made a deal with the Song family. He helped the Song family arrest people, and the Song family would give him a lot of money. It was a large sum enough for their brothers to wash their hands and do some business with peace of mind.

Seeing the suspicious expression on the leader's face, Li Meier no longer kept her secret, and continued: "Actually, the person who wanted to arrest me was the Empress Empress in the palace, and she also arrested me for a very secret matter, which is of great importance. The queen's means, she is likely to wipe out all of you in order to destroy all clues."

The leader's face changed drastically after hearing this, he never expected that this matter would involve the empress in the palace, but he has been licking blood from the knife edge for so many years, and he will not be frightened by Li Meier's few words, he snorted coldly, "You think I'm so stupid, I'll believe whatever you say, and even if the Song family really wants to silence them, they have to ask the knife in my hand and the brothers around me whether they agree or not."

"You don't believe me when you say you're stupid." Li Meier taunted unceremoniously, and before the leader got angry, she continued: "You are just a group of bandits, no matter if it is the Song family or the queen, you just need to find a reason for the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress you , will you still have a way out?"

The leader of the bandits can occupy the top of the mountain as a thief for so long, so naturally he is not really stupid. He sneered and said: "When we hand you over to the Song family, we will complete the deal with them. Delivery, I immediately took people away, and I will wait for them to encircle us?"

Li Mei'er also smiled, squinted at the leader, and asked, "You came to arrest me today, but you brought all your subordinates with you. I reckon that your hill is probably wiped out by others."

This time the bandit leader really changed his expression. He wasn't sure if what Li Meier said was true, but her guess was not impossible.

The younger brothers around the leader obviously didn't believe Li Mei'er's words, and said one after another: "Boss, don't believe what this girl says, she just wants us to let her go with her flattering words. Our cottage is hidden, and the second and third heads are all in the cottage. Even if the officers and soldiers went up to encircle and suppress them, they took the people from the cottage and hid in the mountains, the officers and soldiers would not be able to find them."

The bandit leader thought about it too, and his face finally softened a little. He looked at Li Meier with an unfriendly look, and said coldly: "You girl, you are trying to provoke my relationship with the Song family, and you almost fell into your trap." .”

Li Meier sighed softly, looked at the bandit leader's eyes full of pity, and said lightly: "It's fine if you don't believe what I say, but if I were you, I would definitely send someone back to the cottage now. On this mountain, it shouldn’t be far from here, and it shouldn’t take too much time to send people there.”

The bandit leader actually had some worries in his heart. The foundation of trust between them and the Song family was already very weak. Now that Li Meier had said so much, he was really worried if he didn't send someone back to the village to have a look.

"Fourth, you and Xiao Qi go back and have a look." The leader ordered a bearded and strong man behind him.

"Boss, do you really believe that girl's words?" The strong man called the fourth child obviously felt that Li Mei'er was talking nonsense, and asked with a toothache.

"Be careful, there is no big mistake." The leader is a cautious person.Otherwise, he wouldn't have led a small bandit village and had been operating on this mountain for so long without being wiped out by the government.

The fourth child could only listen to the leader's words, and left with the boy Xiao Qi.

After the two left, the leader was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He let a group of people rest under a big tree, and ordered a few people to pick some wild fruits and come back.

Li Mei'er finally breathed a sigh of relief until now, and sat down on an open space with Baozi, thinking about what to do next.

The most ideal development is naturally that someone will rescue them.But she already knew that the way up the mountain on the other side was cut off by the Song family. Brother Ayi and the members of the Xu family were probably blocked at the bottom of the mountain, and they might not be able to go up for a while.As for her mother and grandmother, she would rather they not come to save her. After all, except for day lilies, they are all old and weak, women and children, and self-protection is a problem.

The most you can count on is Mrs. Xie and the guards she brought, but with Lu Zhiwei as the scourge, I don't know what she will say in front of Mrs. Xie, and it is very likely that she will put a shit bowl on her head. There is little hope.

After much deliberation, I can only save myself.

Li Mei'er is already regretting it now, she would have listened to Brother Shanqing if she knew it, and she would not come to Tan Tuo Temple to offer incense, she thought she had already arranged it very well.Who would have thought that the Song family would come directly to make a drastic move, cutting off the road up the mountain and making Tan Tuo Temple an isolated temple.

What's more, they were able to collude with the bandits on this mountain with supernatural powers and let them arrest people. What's even more outrageous is that they even got Lu Zhiwei to act as an internal response.

This ring is surrounded by a ring, which is really hard to guard against.

Li Mei'er deeply felt that in terms of conspiracy and tricks, she was really far behind this group of people.I was naively thinking of ambushing them.People have already made complete preparations.Fortunately, she was still complacent before she set off.

Li Meier smiled wryly in her heart, and glanced at the bandit leader not far away. At this moment, she could only hope that her guesses were correct. The people of the Song family planned to silence them from the very beginning, without leaving any clues or clues. In this way, she still has a chance of life.

Li Meier was thinking about it when she heard the bandits on guard outside shouting: "Boss, someone has come down from the mountain!"

The leader immediately stood up vigilantly, and the rest of the bandits also picked up their weapons and looked in the direction the bandit pointed.

Li Mei'er also stood up, but she was different from the bandits, she looked over hopefully, wondering if it was Xie's people who came and left her.

Soon the group of people saw clearly that the one coming down from the mountain was a woman in blue clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked like a maid.

All the thieves immediately turned their attention to Li Meier.

Li Meier squinted her eyes, and finally saw clearly, it was day lilies!This maid really deserved to be a maid worth 50 taels, and she found her so quickly, but it was useless for her alone.

Although she was thinking this way in her heart, she was still very excited on her face. Seeing that the bandits were all looking at her, she calmly said, "That's my servant girl. She may have found this path down the mountain by accident, so she chased after her." gone."

The bandit leader obviously didn't believe her words, he snorted softly and said, "Did you really discover it by accident, didn't you leave some mark secretly?"
