Chapter 146 Summoning Helpers
As Yue Zhenkun applied the medicine, he thought about Yue Fuli. Although he had never been to the capital, he still had some understanding of the Yue family.
After all, that was his father's home, how could he not care at all?
But based on his understanding of the Yue family, there should be no one as powerful as the man that night.
But if the other party is not from the Yue family, who could it be?
Could it be that because of what happened in Niujiao Town, someone traced it back to me?
But how could this be? His main purpose in returning from the border this time was to ensure the safety of his sister-in-law and her family, and he had not intervened in the affairs of Niujiao Town at all.
What went wrong?
No, he had to send a message to the people in the capital, asking them to thoroughly investigate the identity of the person last night, so that she wouldn't ruin their plans.
With this thought, Yue Zhenkun stood up and went into his study. In a short while, he finished writing a letter, handed it to his subordinate, and instructed, "Send it to the capital as quickly as possible."
"Yes, I understand."
The subordinate took the letter and sent it off, but Yue Zhenkun was still worried. He called another subordinate and ordered, "Go check and see what happened in Niujiao Town in the past few days."
"Yes, General!" The subordinate clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Yue Fuli had no idea that Yue Zhenkun had someone investigate her, nor did she know that he had connections with the capital.
At this moment, she was discussing with Hu Wei about adding a few more carriages. They currently had five carriages and three donkey carts, which looked like a lot, but they couldn't hold much cargo.
With the increasing capital, Yue Fuli planned to expand the business. However, this would cause them to be short of manpower.
Even if she included the two brothers Yue Zhenjiang and Yue Zhenhe, there would still not be enough people.
Thinking of this, Yue Fuli took out the signal flare from the Dark Tower. She decided to first mobilize people from the Dark Tower. Now that the Dark Tower no longer engaged in the killing business, many killers were idle. It would be better to let them help her escort the goods.
As soon as the flare went out, people from the nearby Dark Tower came over. Seeing Yue Fuli, everyone in the Dark Tower respectfully called out, "Master."
"Is everyone nearby here?"
"We are all here. I wonder why the host summoned us?"
Yue Fuli glanced at everyone present and asked, "Have you all been doing nothing lately?"
The assassins exchanged glances, feeling somewhat bewildered as to what Yue Fuli was up to. However, if they didn't know, they'd just ask.
So, they asked directly, "What instructions does the host have?"
Yue Fuli told the killers about the lack of manpower to escort the goods. When the killers heard this, they thought it was a simple job, similar to being a bodyguard in an escort agency, and much easier than killing people, so they immediately agreed.
Hu Wei was a little surprised to see Yue Fuli return with more than ten people not long after she left. He was even more surprised to see that all of them had blood on their hands when he took a closer look.
"Miss Yue, I wonder who they are?"
Yue Fuli did not tell Hu Wei that these were people from the Dark Tower and her subordinates. Instead, she said directly, "I hired them to help us escort the goods."
Hu Wei didn't ask any further questions after hearing this. However, he became even more impressed with Yue Fuli. She was quite capable to hire someone like him to help her.
Yue Fuli was very satisfied when she saw that Hu Wei did not ask any more questions. This was what she liked most about Hu Wei: he would never ask questions that he should not ask.
