East Factory Governor

Chapter 290
When the others heard it, their eyes popped.

Hua Chen kicked a captured man in black fiercely, and cursed, "Bastard! Tell me, why did you kill the whole family?"

The old Taoist also jumped up, "Say it quickly, or I will take your skin!"

Both of them had scarlet eyes and a hideous expression on their faces.They were all exiled in the rivers and lakes after their families were wiped out, so when they heard about the tragedy of killing their families, they immediately felt the same, and they couldn't control their emotions.

One of the men in black laughed loudly, and then, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he slapped himself on the forehead with a "bang", and immediately fell to the ground and died!

Meng Wei saw that there was only one survivor left, so he quickly reached out and touched the man's acupoints.The man couldn't move, he could only speak.

The old Taoist took off the man's mask, and said coldly, "Do you want to live?"

The man looked terrified, and said again and again, "If you want to live, if you want to live, a few heroes are merciful, be merciful!"

Hua Chen kicked the man again, and shouted, "Then you are telling me, who told you to kill the whole family?"

The man stammered, "Young one, the young one is only following the orders of our suzerain. The suzerain asked us to come. As for why the Zhao family was killed, the young one really doesn't know."

"I don't know? Well, I have a way to let you know!" Hua Chen grabbed the man's hand, and then twisted it hard, only to hear a "click", and the man's entire arm was twisted 180 degrees immediately.

"Ah!" The man in black screamed heart-piercingly, his face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat kept falling from his forehead.

"Small, little ones only know that Mr. Zhao offended someone, and that person found our Dark Cloud Sect and gave us a sum of money to kill his whole family. Our Dark Cloud Sect specializes in this kind of business. According to the rules, They only charge money to do things without asking why, so we really don’t know!”

"I don't know? I'll let you recall the memory again!" The old Taoist said and wanted to put him to death.

Qin Shuhuai said, "Okay, let's go to the Zhao Mansion first to see if there are any living people."

So several people, under the leadership of the servant girl, rushed to Zhao's mansion very quickly.The Zhao Mansion occupies a large area, and it looks like a wealthy household at first glance.Walking through the gate, it was empty and eerily silent.Going further inside, you can clearly smell the smell of blood coming from your nostrils.After walking about a dozen steps, everyone found the first body, which looked like the guard's servant.Then came the second, the third...

A total of 36 people including family servants and maidservants, none of them survived, and all of them were killed.Moreover, these people all suffered multiple stab wounds. Obviously, the men in black came here with the intention of exterminating their families, and they never thought of keeping them alive.

The servant girl wailed loudly while hugging the corpse of a young woman, her voice was extremely shrill, and she kept yelling "Miss".

The five people present were all moved.

After carefully inspecting the scene, Meng Wei said to Qin Shuhuai, "Master, I don't think this matter is as simple as seeking revenge from the enemy."

Qin Shuhuai frowned and said, "How?"

Meng Wei continued, "The subordinate looked at all the rooms in the east and west courtyards, and found that whether it was the cabinets, desks or beds, there were signs of being turned over. The murderer was obviously looking for something."

At this time, Zhao Quyou also came in from the outside, and said, "That's right, even the firewood room is in a mess, obviously it has been tampered with!"

Qin Shuhuai looked again at the man in black who had already been tied tightly, and said coldly, "If you really want to live, you'd better tell the truth."

The man cried and said tremblingly, "Man, that's all I know. The order we got is to kill people, so we really don't have anything to look for!"

Meng Wei walked up to the man and said coldly, "Who rummaged through the things in that room?"

The man continued, "We do this business, so we naturally want to earn some extra money. But I can assure you that we only searched Mr. Zhao's bedroom and study room. The other rooms were not searched at all, and there was no time to search them! The total time That's all, especially when we saw a maid running away, we immediately chased it out, there is no time to look through things!"

"You're not honest, are you? His mother's father let you know today that life is worse than death!"

"Old flower let me, I'll come!"

Lao Dao, Hua Chen and the others continued to torture the man to extract a confession. Meng Wei conveniently clicked on the man's Ya acupuncture point, and the man could only pant in pain, but couldn't utter a sound.

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and thought, "Could it be that there are two groups of people? One group came to kill people, and the other group came to find things? Why did the client spend so much time and effort? Could it be that he didn't trust the Dark Cloud Sect? You don’t want what you’re looking for to fall into the hands of the Dark Cloud Sect? But since you can’t believe it, why do you invite people from the Dark Cloud Sect to kill people?”

So he asked the maid, "Girl, do you know who your master offended?"

The servant girl shook her head, "Our master has been working hard in Ningbo Mansion in the early years. He only returned to his hometown in Yangzhou last year and bought this house. He just wanted to take care of himself, so how could he offend others? Our master, our master is very kind. , woo woo woo..." She started crying again.

"In Ningbo Mansion?" Qin Shuhuai thought for a while, and then said, "Do you know what your master used to do?"

The servant girl said, "I only know that our master is in business, and I don't know anything else."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, then looked around.This is an elegant study room. There are antiques, calligraphy and paintings everywhere, as well as many western objects such as telescopes and clocks, showing the owner's extraordinary taste and vision.

At this moment, only the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, accompanied by flickering fire.

"Quick, go in and search!"

"The thief may be inside, don't let any one go!"

Meng Wei was startled, and said, "The boss seems to be from the government."

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help wondering, people from the government?It's so remote here, and it took only a quarter of an hour for the people from the government to arrive?Could it be that the Ming Dynasty has a 110 hotline?
He felt that things were a little complicated here.

"Guangzhu, what should we do?" Meng Wei asked.

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "You and the old Taoist will take this person out first, and we will talk to them after we stay."

Meng Weilue thought about it, and felt that it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to pose a threat to Qin Shuhuai, so he said, "Okay, let's meet up near the Zhaixing Building, and help the Lord take care."

After speaking, he immediately picked up the man in black and ran to the backyard.

The old Taoist knew that Qin Shuhuai had a reason for doing so, so he also said, "Take care, Master." Then he prepared to go out with him.

"Wait a minute." Qin Shuhuai stopped him, then stuffed the token of Jinyiwei, the decree of the leader of the White Lotus Sect and other things into his hands, and said, "You keep these things for me first, I'm afraid we have to go to the yamen one trip."
