Chapter 489 Is it tolerable or intolerable?
Chapter 489 Is it tolerable or intolerable?
In fact, to him, it didn’t matter who deceived whom. He didn’t want to leave any of these killers alive, including Huang Yingying, because Shi Chun had told him clearly.
Huang Yingying, who was accused on the spot, was panicked. He didn't expect that after being tossed around by this big guy, the tax inspectors would actually betray him without any hesitation. Not only did they waste his good intentions, but they also caused him to fall into a trap. This damn big guy is a bit of a murderer.
Now, even if he were beaten to death, he would never believe that Wu Jin was just a handyman at the horse farm.
When Wu Jinliang suddenly appeared and blocked the way of a group of killers, he realized how it was possible for a horse farm clerk to appear on the killers' route and capture the whole group so easily.
Someone with this ability can definitely earn higher wages. How could he possibly do odd jobs with the little money he gets from the horse farm?
His eyes darted around quickly, and he exclaimed, "Xiao Gao, you came to save me. You scared me, and I thought you were going to murder me. Blame me, blame me. I didn't know your intentions just now, so I didn't dare to say anything. Please forgive me. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, if you have any questions, just ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
"I see." Wu Jinliang raised his hand and patted his forehead. "It's also my fault. I forgot to remove the restrictions on you, which led to your misunderstanding."
As he said this, he tilted his head to signal Lao Changtai.
Lao Changtai understood and was about to step forward to remove the restraints on Huang Yingying, but the man who had just reported the incident said anxiously, "He can escape underground."
"Yes, he can burrow into the ground."
"Once the restrictions are lifted, he can escape at any time."
The other two killers who were able to speak also rushed to reveal the truth.
Hearing this, Huang Yingying's heart sank. He really wanted to ask the three of them, "Are you stupid? If I run away, with someone alive, maybe he will be afraid to attack you. Even if he kills you, at least someone will leak the news, so that someone can settle the score for you."
But the three killers who could speak didn't think so. They all believed that it was useless to think about the long term. They all knew that they had no value to Wu Jinliang and just wanted to fight for the present.
"Earth escape technique? Earth escape technique?" Wu Jinliang asked Huang Yingying curiously, "Old Huang, do you also know the Five Elements escape technique?"
Huang Yingying laughed dryly, "I only know a little bit, but it's not good enough for me to be accepted by the elite."
Wu Jinliang clicked his tongue, "No wonder you can snoop around, it turns out you have the ability to do that." Then he raised his chin to Lao Changtai, "It's okay, untie him."
While saying this, he gave Lao Changtai a staring look.
He had tied up Huang Yingying before and knew the old man's cultivation level. Although he was quite old, his roots were not very harmonious in cultivation. He had only reached the initial stage of martial arts. With Lao Changtai's advanced martial arts cultivation level, as long as he got close to her, Huang Yingying would not be able to escape even if she could evade underground.
Lao Changtai immediately did as he was told and removed the restrictions on Huang Yingying.
Huang Yingying climbed up, stretched her muscles, looked at Lao Changtai who was guarding her, bowed to express her gratitude, and smiled very forcedly. She wanted to run but didn't dare to, and she was scared if she didn't run.
Wu Jinliang turned around and asked the killers, "Why did you kidnap Lao Huang?"
"He knew things he shouldn't have known."
"Fan Wuzhe went to the Chaoyue Pavilion for a blind date. It was arranged by Mei Shaojian, but he found out."
"We want to confirm whether he has spread the news to other people so as to silence them."
The three killers who could speak hurriedly answered again.
Huang Yingying couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. As soon as he saw the true faces of these killers, he guessed it.
Wu Jinliang was actually not interested in the answer at all. He had already guessed it, and tilted his head to Huang Yingying, "Did he spread the news to others?"
And this is what he really wanted to ask. This group of people had the mother-and-child talisman in their hands, and he didn't know whether Huang Yingying had confessed anything. He didn't know whether these people had used the mother-and-child talisman to pass on Huang Yingying's confession.
"We haven't had a chance to interrogate him yet."
"Yes, it's not a good idea to ask at the scene of the incident."
"I was going to run away and find a place, but I didn't expect to run into you. I didn't get there yet."
The three talking killers rushed to answer again.
Wu Jinliang did not listen to one side of the story. He observed the reactions of other killers to see if anyone wanted to fight for a chance to survive.
Seeing that they didn't respond, he looked at Huang Yingying again to confirm, "Is that so?"
Huang Yingying nodded, "That's exactly what happened. Xiao Gao, how did you happen to block their way?"
"That's not important." Wu Jinliang said as he walked over and tapped his heart with the dagger in his hand. "What's important is how could you mistakenly think that I was going to deal with you? After hearing what they said just now, I suddenly feel that what you said just now doesn't make sense!"
Huang Yingying was frightened by the blade he pointed at, and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Wu Jinliang raised the dagger in his hands and handed it to him, "Words are not enough, show me something real."
"Huh?" Huang Yingying was puzzled.
Wu Jinliang said to the assassins lying against the wall, "Kill two of those who don't tell the truth, and I will believe you."
The killers were suddenly panicked. If you don't untie our mute points, we will have no chance to confess.
"This..." Huang Yingying's face was full of resistance. He knew very well that once the people from the City Lord's Mansion were killed, he would have no way back. Wu Jinliang didn't waste time talking to him and stuffed the dagger directly into his hand, "Take it, either you go kill two people or cut your own throat with the knife. I won't force you. You can choose a way to live. I'll give you five numbers, one, two, three..."
Huang Yingying made a hasty decision just after counting to three. Before she could even think clearly, she rushed over and stabbed one of them with a knife.
Before he could think carefully, Wu Jinliang said, "Four..."
Huang Yingying quickly drew her knife and swung it at the second person beside her, slitting his throat. In her haste, she forgot to dodge and was sprayed with a stream of blood all over her face and body. She shuddered and her hand holding the knife trembled a little.
Bai Qiru landed at Zhalanpo, and the guys waiting there hurried forward to report the situation.
After confirming the situation, Bai Qiru glanced around with a frown and cold eyes. Without stopping for long, he flashed away again and shot towards the direction of the main city.
Not long after she left, two city guards who had been chasing her arrived. After landing and seeing the body, they asked about the servant's condition.
In the cave, Huang Yingying, who had squatted down and killed two people, fell to the ground covered in blood. Seeing Lao Changtai standing by and watching her with a fierce look in his eyes, she kicked and crawled several times before getting up. Then she forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and returned the dagger in both hands to Wu Jinliang.
Wu Jinliang didn't know whether he was pretending or what, a demon cultivator was so timid. Wasn't he very bold when he was snooping around for information?
As he took back the dagger, he suddenly took advantage of the situation and subdued Huang Yingying again, and then pushed her away, causing Huang Yingying to sit down against the wall.
"Xiao Gao, Master Gao, what do you mean?" Huang Yingying, who was unable to move, shouted in panic. He had seen the other party kill people without blinking an eye. Seeing the strong and pungent smell of blood, and it happened suddenly again, how could he not be afraid.
Wu Jinliang looked at him, then at the killers who were still alive and also looked panicked, and said slowly: "The last level, let me ask you something. A few years ago, there was a corpse transformation in the area of Dazhicheng. I heard that it was caused by a strange fragrance called "Que Si Xiang". Whoever knows the whereabouts of "Que Si Xiang" has the right to live. Does anyone know?"
Those sitting on the ground, whether they could speak or not, all had flickering eyes.
Huang Yingying, in particular, had a look of surprise and doubt on her face. She didn't know why this guy suddenly asked about this, as she was clearly not interested in it before.
The one called Qiu Laosan suddenly interrupted, "I know there is a place called Xunbaozhai in the city, they..."
Wu Jinliang interrupted, "The one in Xunbaozhai is fake." Pointing at Huang Yingying, "He took me to see it, and it's fake."
After scanning the confused reactions of the crowd, he turned around and said lightly as he passed by Lao Changtai, "It seems that no one knows. Let's kill them all."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the cave.
In fact, he did not expect these people to know about the "Que Si Xiang". The reason for doing so was to give it a try, but the main reason was to do it for Lao Changtai to see and to give an explanation to Shi Chun.
Since Shi Chun was able to grasp Huang Yingying's movements, he knew that Chu Jingtang and his gang had not dispelled their suspicions about Huang Yingying.
If it wasn't for intimidating Huang Yingying, he wouldn't have spent so much time on the current matter. It would have been much simpler, wouldn't it have been just silencing her?
Lao Changtai was not stupid. At this point, he naturally understood Wu Jinliang's intention, which had been prepared for so long. He drew his sword, and the first person he raised the butcher knife was towards Huang Yingying. It was not a fake killing, but a real killing.
If it's useless, just kill her directly. If it's useful, Huang Yingying will at least have to face the consequences of killing people from the City Lord's Mansion. Wu Jinliang has prepared the right and wrong results for him.
What Wu Jinliang never expected was that just when he walked out of the cave and looked up at the starry sky, just when Lao Changtai was about to kill Huang Yingying with his sword, Huang Yingying, with fear in her eyes, suddenly shouted hysterically: "I know, I know 'Que Si Xiang', Xiao Gao, Master Gao, I really know, don't kill me, I say, I really know..."
There was indescribable fear and anxiety in his tone.
Lao Changtai, who was about to swing his sword to chop, was stunned. He even doubted himself. Is this true? Does this old guy really know?
He turned his head and looked at the tall figure outside the cave.
Wu Jinliang was a little confused. How could such a coincidence happen? He came to Dazhicheng for Que Si Xiang, and he happened to meet a random old hand who was the insider? Then why did he have to look for so long?
He chuckled, with a hideous smile on his face, then quickly turned around, almost rushed in, swung his arms and legs, grabbed Huang Yingying and started beating her up violently.
He actually made a mistake. He actually acted so convincingly that he fooled him. If Chu Jingtang and the others hadn't had an extra trick up their sleeve, this matter would have fallen into his hands. It would have been okay as for Chuntian, but the key was that it would have affected his prestige with Chu Jingtang and the others.
Tolerable or unbearable!
It seemed like the fight would never end, and there were continuous wailing and screaming in the cave...
From the highest peak in the city, a white shadow fell and was also stopped by the guards.
The person who came was Bai Qiru. She glanced at the guards who were blocking her way and did not force her way in. She cast a spell towards the inner courtyard of the palace and said loudly, "Bai Qiru wants to see the city lord."
After a moment of silence, a woman's gentle voice came, "Let her in."
The guards looked at each other and immediately stepped aside to let them pass.
Bai Qiru was in a hurry and walked quickly, breaking into the deep palace. It seemed that this was not her first time here. She ignored the complexity of pavilions and towers and the intricacy of roads, and did not hesitate at all when she came to a fork in the road.
Soon, a maid came in quickly and extended her hand to invite him to go to another direction, to a pavilion where he could overlook the lights of thousands of houses below the mountain.
There was a woman with long hair in the pavilion. She was wearing colorful clothes, had a rosy face, and cherry-red lips. She looked okay, but gave people a weird feeling. Her hair was too long and dragged on the ground when she sat. I guess she could have mopped the floor even when she stood.
The woman's name is Li Xianghong. She is the current mayor of Dazhi City. She is toasting to the moon alone.
He turned his head to look at Bai Qiru who nodded in greeting, and said indifferently: "How can you be qualified to fly illegally in the city without permission?"
Bai Qiru avoided answering and walked up to her and said, "Someone violated the rules and bought a large amount of spiritual rice without paying. He also killed three delivery guys in our store at Zhalan Slope. My husband is missing and I was so anxious to catch up with the murderer that I didn't have time to explain. I heard that Master Axun happened to be here. Since it's not long since the incident, his sense of smell can still be used. Please help to smooth things over as soon as possible. This can be regarded as maintaining the rules of Dazhi City and giving justice."
