Under the threat of his life, the strong man finally told everything he knew.
It turned out that the three of them were well-known desperadoes in the underworld, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
Two days ago, I learned in a teahouse that only the female members of the An Ning Marquis's family were at home, and the security in the mansion was lax.
Even if gold, silver and treasures were stolen, even if the women were humiliated, they would not dare to speak out.
When the three brothers heard the news, they instantly became greedy.
This wealthy family has a lot of gold, silver and treasures. As long as they can make a fortune, they will never have to worry about food and clothing and live a carefree life in the future.
Shen Ningyuan and Xie Wanzhou looked at each other, and saw depth in each other's eyes.
If what these two strong men said was true, then it was hard to guess whether it was Ji Yunchuan who ordered it or the person behind it.
Shen Ningyuan always felt that things couldn't be that simple.
After all, according to what the two strong men said, they sneaked into the An Ning Marquis Mansion under the cover of night, and it was as if there was no one in the place along the way.
No one blocked the road.
As a result, they became more and more arrogant and proud, and had already plundered treasures from several courtyards.
Shen Ningyuan's face was extremely gloomy. She shifted her gaze slightly and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, several huge bundles were seen under the eaves of the entrance.
Is he really here to steal things?
But why did we find this place so clearly?
There are many things that really cannot be thought about too carefully. If you think about them carefully, you will find loopholes everywhere.
A sneer appeared on Shen Ningyuan's lips, and the dagger in his hand moved closer to the strong man's neck, and blood oozed out instantly.
"That's all?"
The strong man's body was shaking uncontrollably and his teeth were chattering.
In the silent night, the creaking sound is even clearer.
"Yes, it was a masked young man who specially marked out the layout of the An Ning Marquis's mansion and the courtyards with the most gold, silver and treasures. He repeatedly assured me that the mansion's security was lax..."
When he said this, the strong man's face was covered with snot and tears, and he subconsciously glanced at Shen Ningyuan.
There was fear, terror, pity, and all kinds of emotions intertwined in his eyes.
With the bright moonlight, Shen Ningyuan could see it clearly.
Almost instantly, Shen Ningyuan guessed that this person was hiding something.
"Tell me, what else?"
The strong man was so frightened that he lost two of his three souls. Under such a threat, everything he knew was revealed like spilling beans.
I dare not hide anything at all.
"That masked young man said that there are only female relatives in the mansion, and they are all as beautiful as flowers..."
The rest of the words were not said, but it was obvious that they were some dirty words.
Xie Wanzhou's already gloomy expression became even more frighteningly cold at this moment.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if a Shura from hell had descended to the earth.
He raised the big knife in his hand and slashed it across the strong man's neck.
Almost instantly, the strong man's entire head was almost cut off, leaving only a thin layer of skin on the back of his neck, pulling at the bloody head.
Shaking and swaying.
The splattered blood drew an astonishing arc in the air, spraying on the faces and bodies of his companions, and even a few drops fell on Shen Ningyuan's cheek.
The strong man who was held hostage by Shen Ningyuan had legs as soft as noodles. He couldn't stand at all and fell to his knees with a thud.
Suddenly, a foul smell spread in the air.
Obviously, this guy was scared to death.
If you look closely, you can see that the strong man has deep fear in his eyes and his body is shaking like a sieve.
His face was covered with a layer of deathly gray.
I was completely and utterly scared.
He kept begging.
"Please, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Shen Ningyuan was shocked by this sudden change, and her pupils suddenly contracted. It was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered.
Xie Wanzhou kicked away the headless corpse in front of him.
He took a step forward, walked calmly to the strong man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and stepped hard on his head.
The strong man was completely broken-down after being treated like this.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Shen Ningyuan had never seen Xie Wanzhou so menacing.
He swallowed subconsciously.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan also felt a deep fear of the man in front of her.
He kept reminding himself in his heart that what Xie Wanzhou did was normal and that he was doing it to protect their lives.
Don't be afraid!
There's nothing to be afraid of!
This is one of us.
Shen Ningyuan hypnotized herself repeatedly in her heart.
Finally, the fear that was surging in my heart was somewhat calmed down.
The bright moonlight poured down on the earth and shone through the open door.
However, Xie Wanzhou was hidden behind the door, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Shen Ningyuan had always thought that Xie Wanzhou was a gentle man, just like that elegant young man.
But at this moment, his image completely overturned her cognition.
Biting her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, as if mustering up great courage, Shen Ningyuan tentatively called out.
"Thank you for the boat?"
The violent emotions that were surging in Xie Wanzhou's heart gradually dissipated a little when he heard the soft call.
Reason returns to the brain.
Slowly turning sideways, he was still hidden in the darkness, staring at Shen Ningyuan with deep eyes.
At this moment, all the blood in Shen Ningyuan's body seemed to have solidified.
She clearly felt that the man in front of her was extremely dangerous, like a tiger that had been hungry for several days and was about to eat.
Just as horrifying, just as frightening.
"Are you hurt?"
Xie Wanzhou's voice was no longer as clear as before, and carried a lingering chill.
Shen Ningyuan didn't dare to look directly at Xie Wanzhou, who had such an astonishing aura. She turned her head slightly, lowered her eyes, and said in a muffled voice.
"I'm fine, are you okay?"
It was unknown how long it had been before Shen Ningyuan heard his voice coming from the darkness.
"How could anything happen to me?"
As the words fell, Xie Wanzhou's gaze slowly moved to the blade in his hand.
Looking at the blood on the sword dripping to the ground drop by drop, my bad mood was miraculously soothed.
"Don't be afraid, just stand here and don't move. I'll go light the candle."
Shen Ningyuan hummed.
She was horrified by what happened tonight.
My brain is still in a daze until now.
Xie Wanzhou returned to the house and lit a candle. The originally pitch-black room instantly became dim.
At the door, two silent corpses and a unconscious person showed what had just happened.
Perhaps because of the tragedy in her previous life, Shen Ningyuan looked at the dead body at the door. Although her emotions were turbulent, she could still accept it.
