Moreover, he could not stand idly by and watch someone betray the Great Chu.

From any perspective, he could no longer back down.

Moreover, An Yi's method for him was to observe everything from the shadows without having to show his face, so that he could easily escape unscathed if anything happened.

Since that's the case, why should he hesitate? In just a few breaths, Jin Chuan decided to take the gamble.

Then An Yi secretly sent Jin Chuan to Yu Lin.

At this moment, Jin Chuan saw that Tong Mingshan was so fearless, and that he had even captured all the villagers of Shijing Village to threaten Zhao Ruojin.

Jin Chuan had some doubts before, but now he understood after seeing this situation.

Zhao Ruojin's initial message to him was true, which forced Tong Mingshan to do something so desperate.

Jin Chuan, unable to contain his anger, jumped out and shouted, "Tong Mingshan, how dare you! You actually kidnapped villagers and burned down their homes! Do you have any respect for the law?"

Previously, Jin Chuan was dressed in all black, wearing a black cloak and blending into the crowd, so Tong Mingshan didn't notice him.

But now that he saw it was Jin Chuan, he was very shocked.

What are you doing here, Lord Jin!

After the initial shock, only ruthlessness remained in Tong Mingshan's eyes.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless. As long as all these people are killed, who in Yulin can cause any trouble?

The six men that Tong Mingshan sent out to capture Zhao Ruojin had not returned, and Tong Mingshan had sent people to search for them without any news. He had already guessed that those men had fallen into Zhao Ruojin's hands.

Those six men were no ordinary yamen runners; they were guards he had privately trained. Their martial arts skills far surpassed those of the yamen runners in the government office. Yet, these men vanished without a trace, and not even one of them returned to deliver a message.

Tong Mingshan had already sensed something was wrong, which is why he ordered Huang Tongpan to temporarily suspend the transaction.

Today, Judge Huang went to deliver the goods and has not returned for a long time. In the past, no matter how late it was, he would always come back to tell me before he felt at ease.

I waited and waited all day, but no one came.

While at the mansion, Tong Mingshan felt a persistent twitching in his right eyelid, which made him uneasy.

Without hesitation, he immediately sent people to search. The news they received was that Zhamu had indeed received the goods, but Huang Tongpan had disappeared.

At this moment, Tong Mingshan could no longer sit still; he knew something must have happened.

At that moment, someone shot an arrow into his residence. The note on the arrow read: "Prefect Huang has been captured by Zhao Ruojin. If you want to live, kill Zhao Ruojin!"

Zhao Ruojin, it's Zhao Ruojin again!

Tong Mingshan increasingly felt that Zhao Ruojin could not possibly be an ordinary young girl from Beijing visiting relatives in Chongqing, but he didn't have time to investigate her identity further.

He had previously planned to have Judge Huang frame the Zhang family for the Xu family's affairs, seize the Zhang family's property, and then find a way to kill Zhao Ruojin. Everything could be done gradually.

There's clearly no time for him to take his time now, as he looks at the words on the note.

To save his own life, he decided to act quickly and kill Zhao Ruojin to end everything.

Tong Mingshan led his men directly to the village where Su Ruojin lived, and first had the villagers arrested to use as leverage.

If he kills Zhao Ruojin tonight, none of the villagers in Shijing Village will be spared. It's better to use them to threaten Zhao Ruojin first. Whether it works or not doesn't matter, at least it can hold them off for a while.

Zhao Ruojin's men know how to use poison, so we can't engage them at close range. Tong Mingshan ordered his men to fire rockets into the house first, hoping to burn as many as possible.

Even if you don't burn them to death, you can still force them out!

But to my surprise, Jin Chuan was there too!
