Chapter 318 Being Used
Zhou Yunshu said as she changed her clothes, "Indeed, and Hong Wenyuan gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."
"Yes!" Chunque nodded repeatedly, "It's like a painting on the face, a fake smile."
"It was fine when the sky was bright, but just now when the wind blew by the waterside, I felt a chill in my heart when I looked at him."
Wu Gui thought carefully about what Zhou Yunshu and Chunque had said, and asked, "But what can he do?"
"I feel like he's just like the other wealthy people in Nanchuan City. He has no grudge against Geng Jiang. He should be just like the other wealthy people..."
But the problem now is that Hong Wenyuan is different, he just doesn't fit in.
Zhou Yunshu and the other two were a little confused, so they had to change the topic.
Zhou Yunshu put on her clothes and asked, "How's it going with Boss Liu?"
"He wasn't drunk. He was humming a little tune. When I pretended to be lost and asked him for directions, he even talked to me."
"What did you say?"
"I'd like to ask you, Master, what your preferences are, how many days you plan to stay in Nanchuan, when you plan to leave, and whether it would be convenient for you to visit tomorrow."
Chunque said to Zhou Yunshu while recalling the past: "He also said that the Liu family also has an inn, which is much safer than the Hong family's inn."
"Then I took the opportunity to ask if there were any escorts staying at the Liu family's inn, and he said no."
"Boss Liu said that although the Liu family's inn doesn't have escorts, at least it's not as unlucky as the Hong family's inn."
"Unlucky?" Zhou Yunshu caught the word and asked, "Why did he say that?"
"It seems that Hong Wenyuan's inns in Yuncheng, Kui County, and other places were the first to be targeted by the pirates who attacked the city. But this is also a coincidence. After all, as you can see, the Hong family's inn is relatively close to the city gate. If..."
"grass!"
Zhou Yunshu suddenly shuddered. She swallowed and unconsciously clenched her fists. "I suddenly thought of a possibility."
Wu Gui and Chun Que looked at Zhou Yunshu and asked in unison, "What?"
"Hong Wenyuan is the only one left in the Hong Mansion, not because he is afraid of Geng Jiang."
Just look at Geng Jiang's character and you will know that although he is a bandit leader, he is loyal and principled, and he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise the wealthy people in Nanchuan would not ignore him.
"He sent his family away because he was afraid of another group of people, the same ones who captured Yuncheng and tortured and killed the magistrate of Kui County!"
"That can't be right. If he really knew that this group of people were coming, why didn't he run away? Would he stay in Nanchuan City and seek death?"
Zhou Yunshu took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked out, while saying to Chunque and Wu Gui: "What if he was the one who cooperated with those people from inside and outside? What if he was the one who helped them open the city gate!"
"So what about us now?"
Zhou Yunshu was furious now, "I've been here for a while now, setting up a party for Hong Wenyuan and that group!"
Li Qilang had been pretending for so long that Zhou Yunshu said the word "young master" too easily.
"Now all the wealthy people in Nanchuan City are in the Hong family. If those people sneak into the city tonight, they can just surround the Hong Mansion..."
Before Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, she saw Chu San in the yard remove the chin of the Hong family's housekeeper and stomped it to the ground.
Chusan looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "This man took advantage of Geng Jiang being drunk and stabbed him, but he didn't hit a vital part."
Geng Jiang, who was stabbed, covered his lower abdomen and leaned against the wall next to him. The knife completely wiped away his drunkenness.
When he saw Zhou Yunshu, Geng Jiang forced a smile on his face. "Thank you, Seventh Brother. If your men hadn't arrived in time, I would have died here."
Zhou Yunshu took a deep breath and said, "Don't be so happy so soon. We still don't know if we can leave the Hong Mansion alive!"
Geng Jiang angrily shouted, "These damn sons of bitches, did they deliberately set us up to kill us?"
"That's not right. Didn't we prepare for this game?" Geng Jiang was smart for once.
"There's a mole among you."
"Impossible! My brothers are loyal to me!" Geng Jiang retorted without hesitation, "They can't possibly betray me!"
"We'll talk about whether we'll betray you later, but retreat first!"
Zhou Yunshu asked Chunque to support Geng Jiang and walk in front, while Zhou Yunshu, Wu Gui and Cen Miaoying followed behind them.
After Chu San broke the housekeeper's neck, he put him in the guest room where Geng Jiang had stayed before. The old woman who was cleaning the house blocked his mouth and threw him into the room where Zhou Yunshu was changing clothes. After that, she jumped over the wall and followed Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu and her group walked in the dark, avoiding the lights, and headed towards the back of the guest house. When they heard a series of footsteps running towards the guest house, they hurriedly stopped.
It had been who knows how long since anyone had swept the Hong Mansion. The ground was covered with leaves, and any slight movement could be heard.
It only took half an incense stick of time for the two groups to enter and exit the guest house. If Zhou Yunshu had argued with Geng Jiang a few more words, she might have been blocked in the guest house by this group of people.
Geng Jiang had his mouth covered by Chunque. Geng Jiang was also very amused. His whole body was stiff and he dared not struggle. He squatted under the outer wall of the guest house with Chunque.
"Hongwu is dead."
A man's voice was heard from the courtyard of the guest house. I didn't know if his throat had been scalded by hot water, but the sound he made was particularly creepy, especially at night.
"There are bloodstains on the wall. Hongwu failed to kill Geng Jiang."
After this person finished speaking, another person said, "What a pity."
Just two words, and Geng Jiang in Chunque's arms widened his eyes in disbelief.
He wanted to struggle, but Chunque held him tightly, and she whispered a threat in his ear, "If you move again, I will break your neck."
Geng Jiang immediately became obedient.
Chunque could still vividly remember how easily he lifted the stone table in the Summer Resort. He didn't feel at all that his neck was harder than the stone table.
"I said there was something wrong with Li Qilang, and it turns out to be true."
He snorted coldly, "I really don't know whether to say Geng Jiang is lucky or unlucky."
"Of course you're lucky to be able to survive like this." The man whose throat felt like it was scalded by water said coldly.
"Ah Gui, luck alone won't keep you alive."
After saying that, the man said to the others around him: "Geng Jiang is injured and can't run far. Find him and kill him."
"Only in this way can we control the people he left behind in Nanchuan City."
"yes!"
Zhou Yunshu and others hid quietly in the dark and listened to the people from the guest house leave.
"Hong was disobedient. If the yard hadn't been so dark, it wouldn't have been so difficult to find him."
The old woman who was sweeping the floor was thrown into the middle of the yard by their men, and Ah Gui vented his dissatisfaction directly on her.
When the woman's sharp howl echoed over the guest house, the miserable sound made Geng Jiang shudder violently.
"The boss."
The sound that was originally in the yard suddenly became very close.
"Boss, I saw you, please come out."
