It was a dark and windy night when the murder and arson occurred. The Chen residence was located to the east of Xuancheng Prefecture, which was a prosperous area. All the top merchants in Xuancheng Prefecture lived here.
It is prosperous, with people coming and going every moment. At night, the pot-bellied boss goes out for social events and usually comes back close to curfew.
But the problem was that Xianjin had just retreated to a secluded alley in order to wait for the mule cart.
The alley is very narrow. In order to occupy more land, the residents on both sides work together to expand the walls outward. If they occupy one more inch of land, their neighbors will occupy one less inch of land, which is equivalent to taking up two inches of land at a time...
Ptsh! I despise this kind of immoral, petty-bourgeois behavior!
Xianjin didn't understand why at this moment, she was still in the mood to maintain public order and morality like a neighborhood auntie.
It might be Qiao Hui's secret guards who gave her the courage.
"...Back off, back off..." The man behind him spoke in a low voice. No fear or timidity could be heard, only complete tension and madness.
Xianjin raised his hands above his head to show surrender and cooperation, and his feet slowly moved backwards following the man's steps. He raised his eyes slightly and squinted at the dark tiles above his head.
"Lower your head! Lower it!" The man grabbed Xianjin's neck tremblingly. Seeing that there was no one around, he limped and dragged Xianjin into a narrow and deep alley!
In the flickering light, Xianjin saw the man's face.
The eldest son of the Bai family.
The crazy Bai Dalang according to the rumors in the market.
No wonder he didn't sound scared at all.
Damn it, what can a psychopath be afraid of? It’s not against the law for a psychopath to kill someone!
Xianjin was yanked, dragged and swung by Bai Dalang viciously, and flew out like a thin kite in an instant. Before Xianjin could react, Bai Dalang pressed Xianjin's neck against the wall of the alley with one hand and pulled the collar of Xianjin's clothes with the other hand!
Xianjin struggled hard with his right cheek pressed against his chest, his shoulders twisted wildly, and his mind raced: What is Bai Dalang going to do?
Take her life? Not really! If he wanted to kill her, he could just stab her with the sharp dagger at her waist and twist her organs. Her internal organs would all rot. In this era without surgery, the blood loss alone would be enough to kill her completely!
Seeking wealth?
Xianjin held her breath and slightly lowered her eyes to see Bai Dalang's swollen right hand anxiously groping up and down her shoulders!
Who would hide money on their shoulders?
Bai Dalang wanted to tear her clothes off!
Xianjin took a deep breath and said quickly, "Uncle Bai, you and I have no grudges in the past or in the present. Disputes in business are common. We see each other every day. What are you doing?!"
When Bai Dalang heard this, he stopped what he was doing, and slapped Xianjin on the back of his head with his right hand that was stroking the collar of his clothes, "Shut your mother's mouth! You have brought such great harm to the Bai family! All my limbs are broken! I have been in pain for half a year! And there is still no revenge! Go to hell with you!"
Xianjin's head was buzzing from the slap, as if eight hundred moths were flying around in her head. She bit her tongue and the pain made her sober instantly. While turning around, she quickly glanced at the roof behind her.
A man in black was half-crouching on the roof with his whole body tense, one hand covering his waist and gesticulating with the other.
The secret guard was afraid of the dagger at her waist!
Xianjin instantly understood what the secret guard meant!
"Bang!" - Xianjin's head was hit hard against the wall by Bai Dalang!
"Look! What are you looking at?"
"Tell me, what do you want?" Xianjin's mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and he forced himself to calm down. "Want the Bai family to join the Chamber of Commerce? Sure, if you let me go, I will do it tomorrow, and even let you become the vice president, no, the president!"
"If you want money, that's fine. I have 4,000 taels of silver in the bank. You can take me to get it now."
Dirty, fat, swollen hands were groping impatiently all over her back.
"I don't want anything!"
Bai Dalang tore it violently, and with a "rip" sound, one sleeve of Xianjin's coat was torn off!
"I want you!"
"I fucking want you!"
"I've made it a done deal today, and I'll go to the Chen family to propose marriage tomorrow! What Chamber of Commerce? What money!? Damn it, the person is already Bai's, so aren't these things also Bai's!"
Bai Dalang impatiently tore off Xianjin's clothes on his back with one hand!
Xianjin took a few quick breaths, her mind was like a mess with moths flying around. She bit the crack on the tip of her tongue with her back teeth, and the severe pain made her wake up again.
Xianjin's right hand slowly retracted into his sleeve. At the same time, he struggled to slowly turn his right face, which was pressed against the wall. From the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow on the roof of the opposite beam, bending over and approaching silently.
"...Yes..." Xianjin opened his mouth, his mouth full of the taste of blood, his throat was squeezed so hard that he couldn't make a sound, "Yes...Yes..."
Bai Dalang slapped Xianjin on the back of his head again, "Shut the fucking mouth! I'm going to stab you to death!"
The dagger at the waist instantly moved forward an inch!
The flesh has been cut!
"There's someone! There's someone behind me!" Xianjin seized the moment of clarity brought by the pain in his waist and spoke from his dantian. The voice broke through the narrow throat, loud and clear!
Bai Dalang was so frightened by the sudden sound that his hand holding the dagger shook!
Xianjin seized the opportunity, leaned his arms against the wall and jumped back, lowering his head and rushing towards Bai Dalang like a cannonball with full power!
Along with the lightning-fast turn, there was a threatening cold blade!
"The blade should be facing inwards, and your backhand should be below your waist, so that you can successfully cut the throat!"
