The few of them followed the route that Tong Tong had pointed out and arrived at the Liang Residence. However, the Liang Residence had been abandoned for many years. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and even the official seal was tattered.
"Is this the Liang Residence?" Liu Ruoxin looked at the big house in front of her and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Yipin pointed at Yang Yuxuan behind him and said,""You should ask him if it was me who killed his entire family.”
"What's wrong with you? Why are you talking so strangely?”Zhou Jie looked at Zhu Yipin strangely. Ever since he came out of the tomb, Zhu Yipin seemed to have eaten explosives.
"Why am I crazy?" Zhu Yipin seemed to have heard something funny. He pointed at himself with a cold smile and said,"I treat others as my friends and treat them sincerely, but they still want to kill me. I want to vent my anger.”
Zhu Yipin's voice grew louder and louder until he was practically shouting at the end.
Zhou Jie looked at Zhu Yipin with a smile. He was like a child who was arguing with his friend. As long as he was still angry, he would not listen to anyone.
Zhu Yipin's voice startled the old woman who was burning joss money in front of the Liang Residence.
"Are you here to pay your respects to Lord Liang?" The old woman stood up and asked.”
"Yes, I am. You too?" After Zhu Yipin finished shouting, his anger had mostly subsided. However, he did not expect someone to suddenly speak to him, so he agreed. However, his expression was a little awkward.
The old woman sighed." It's rare for someone to remember this place. The people in town wouldn't dare to come here again. I'm the only one with old bones. Anyway, the soil is almost buried to my neck, so I don't care so much." Isn't it a holiday? I came over to burn some paper money as a token of my appreciation.”
"Why doesn't everyone dare to come?" Liu Ruoxin asked curiously.”
The old woman recalled,"Lord Liang used to be the Lord of the sunny days here. He repaired the roads for us and delivered food for us." However, who would have thought that they would offend some enemy and that in one night, more than 30 people in the entire family would be killed. However, the new county magistrate did not even dare to investigate. The people in the town were afraid of being implicated, so no one dared to come here.”
The old woman shook her head and sighed regretfully. Why did good people never get good rewards?
Liu Ruoxin looked at the old woman's back and said,""Did you hear that? The East Military Hall only knows how to kill the innocent.”
"No." "The Lord didn't ask me to kill Liang Zhong," Yang Yuxuan retorted coldly.”
"If it's not him, then who is it?" Hearing Yang Yuxuan's quick retort, Liu Ruoxin had a bad feeling.
"The lord asked me to kill Yao Siniang," Yang Yuxuan said coldly. She was a member of the Same Boat Club at that time. I killed her entire family to force Yao Siniang out, but who knew that I wouldn't see her in the end. Now you know why I must kill her!”
Liu Ruoxin couldn't believe her ears. If Yao Si 'niang was really from the Boat Club, then she was her enemy. In this case, her persistence would become a joke.
Liu Ruoxin knew that if she received the task of killing Yao Siniang, she might do the same thing as Yang Yuxuan.
Ever since the Liang Mansion was destroyed, Tong Tong and Yao Si 'niang had been hiding everywhere and suffered a lot. They were much smarter than their peers. When they heard Liu Ruoxin and Yang Yuxuan's words, they knew that they still wanted to kill her mother.
"Sister, sister!" Tongtong shook Liu Ruoxin's hand and begged.
Liu Ruoxin was caught in a dilemma. If she caught Yao Si 'niang, she might be able to save her foster father, but Tong Tong's pleading made her unable to make up her mind.
Tong Tong couldn't get an answer, so he broke free from Liu Ruoxin's hands and ran to Yang Yuxuan's side to beg,""I beg you, don't kill my mother. Everyone in my family is dead. Now, only my mother is left. You've already killed my father, my grandfather, and my grandmother. My mother has gone crazy. Can't you let her go?”
Looking at Tong Tong's sad expression, Zhou Jie opened his mouth but could not say anything. Everyone had their own standpoints. It was really hard to tell who was right and who was wrong.
"I know you hate me. If you want to take revenge for your family's destruction, I'll give you a chance today.”Yang Yuxuan squatted down, took out a dagger, and handed it to Tong Tong. The dagger was pressed against Yang Yuxuan's throat. As long as Tong Tong stabbed forward slightly, he could kill Yang Yuxuan.
The scene suddenly fell silent. No one expected Yang Yuxuan to do this. At the same time, they waited for Tong Tong's decision.
Tong Tong retracted his hand and sobbed softly,"I don't want to kill you."
"Why? You have to know that if you don't kill me, I'll still kill your mother.”Yang Yuxuan was very puzzled. In his opinion, if Tong Tong wanted to save his mother, killing him was the best choice.
"Because you saved me. And if I kill you, your family will be as sad as I am. You and my mother are both good people. Why can't both of you be alive?”
Tong Tong's words were beyond everyone's expectations. Just because of this seemingly naive reason, he actually let go of the enemy who killed his entire family. Not everyone could forget their grudges with a smile.
Yang Yuxuan silently kept his dagger and turned to run away.
"Where are you going?" Liu Ruoxin wanted to chase after Yang Yuxuan.
"Ruoxin, stop chasing." Zhou Jie stretched out his hand to stop Liu Ruoxin. Old Yang must be in a mess right now, so let him think about it. Let's go in and take a look first!" After saying that, Zhou Jie stepped forward and pushed open the door of the Liang residence.
When everyone entered the Liang Residence, they saw that it was also desolate inside. The flower beds were already filled with weeds, and the stone tables and chairs were toppled to the side. It seemed that the Liang Residence was still in the same state as when it was destroyed.
"Who's there? Come out quickly.”Zhou Jie heard a rustling sound. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the source of the sound.
A woman fell out from behind the pillar. It turned out that the stone Zhou Jie threw had hit her calf.
"Are you alright?" Another person came out from the corner of the room, but he jumped out.
Zhou Jie immediately guessed the identities of the two of them. He held back his laughter and said,"What are you two doing here?”
"I finally found you. You made me dance all day. Give me the antidote.”
That's right, these two people were tour guide Hu and his wife.
"It's not impossible to get the antidote, but you have to tell me why you're here first.”Of course, Liu Ruoxin knew that Zhou Jie had lied to her about the poison. However, now that such a good opportunity had been presented to her, how could she not make good use of it?
"I spent a lot of effort to find one of the scenic spots in Spring Breeze Town's supernatural one-day tour. I didn't even confiscate your ticket when you came in!”Since his life was still in the hands of others, Tour Guide Hu could only tell the truth.
"This is my house. Why should I give you money?" Tong Tong said unhappily.”
"Little friend, don't joke around. Four years ago, your entire family was wiped out in this place. Not to mention that you didn't even leave behind your kittens and puppies, everyone in Spring Wind Town knows about this.”Tour Guide Hu's face was full of disdain. If he hadn't thought that he had been poisoned, he might have laughed at him.
Seeing that they did not believe him, Tong Tong walked to the flower bed and groped in the grass.
After a while, Tong Tong took out a hand bone from the grass and said,"Back then, my nanny's hand was cut off here.”
The truth was right in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it. They thought that it was really the ghost child who had appeared, and they were so frightened that they hugged each other and screamed repeatedly.
"Please spare my life, brat. I have an eighty-year-old mother to take care of and a child to feed. I really can't live anymore, so I have this greed. Please let us go!”The two of them had said so much without even pausing. They must have said this many times. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so coherent.
"Bullsh * t. His entire family was killed, and you still have the nerve to use this to make money. Do you have any sympathy?”Liu Ruoxin was so angry that she couldn't help but curse and even put her hand on the hilt of her sword.
Zhou Jie hurriedly stood in front of Liu Ruoxin and said to Tour Guide Hu,""The person behind me is a high-ranking official from the capital. She knows everything you've done. Tell me everything you know now, and I'll give you the antidote when you're done. "Of course, you can choose not to say anything. We won't kill you either. It's just that your days in the future might not be too good.”
Tour Guide Hu was just an ordinary person who was greedy for money. When had he ever seen such a scene? He would say anything when Zhou Jie threatened him with his life. It included how the Lady Boss drugged those dignitaries and stole their belongings, then had him ship them to other places to sell them. Sometimes, she even helped him kidnap children.
Zhu Yipin became angrier as he listened. He pointed at Tour Guide Hu and said angrily,"No wonder Yao Siniang went around stealing children. It was all your fault.”
"Do you still have any humanity? How many families have been torn apart by your actions? How many children have lost their parents since they were young? I'll get rid of the two of you now.”Liu Ruoxin couldn't suppress her anger anymore. She jumped out from behind Zhou Jie and was about to attack him.
Zhou Jie hugged Liu Ruoxin and whispered in her ear,""Ruoxin, we can't kill them yet.”
Liu Ruoxin was just angry for a moment. Hearing Zhou Jie's words, she calmed down immediately.
Seeing Liu Ruoxin stop struggling, Zhou Jie finally heaved a sigh of relief. Liu Ruoxin no longer had the backing of the West Military Department. Moreover, the imperial court was trying to capture her. If she killed Tour Guide Hu, although it would be a momentary pleasure, she would also expose herself.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. A group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded Zhou Jie and the others.
"I received a tip that someone broke into a sealed house and hid a large amount of stolen goods.”Pang Boguang swaggered in with an official tone, followed by the lady boss.
"Pang Da, why are you here?" It happened so suddenly that Zhu Yipin did not react for a moment.
Pang Boguang glanced at Zhu Yipin disdainfully and said to the Lady Boss,""Take a good look and see if it's them.”
"That's right, they stole my customer's finances. Please help me!”Although the lady boss was pleading, her expression was very smug. It was obvious that she was saying this on purpose.
The situation at the scene became tense. Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin looked at the surrounding soldiers vigilantly, ready to attack at any time.
