The people who actually possessed the information about the treasure map were mixed in with a group of nearly 200 refugees, while that elite team was a smokescreen, attracting all of their attention and allowing that group of refugees to successfully bring the treasure map to Linzhou Prefecture.
It was a simple trick, but it was very effective and it successfully deceived them.
If you want to know the treasure map, it seems there is only one way to go, and that is - Baishan Hall!
Even if Su Xiaozhong was beaten to death, he would never have thought that he just wanted to direct the attention of this group of people to Baishan Hall, so as to blur the existence of the eldest daughter and others, but the final result was better than he imagined.
"Sir, seven days ago, the chief manager of Baishantang suddenly arrived in Linzhou Prefecture."
"Boss." The ghost-faced man murmured.
He arrived at the right time.
It seems that the secret of the treasure map is now in the hands of the chief shopkeeper.
At this moment, a subordinate who was monitoring Baishan Hall came hurriedly and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as the subordinate entered the house, he immediately reported, "My Lord, the head of Baishan Hall has left the city."
"Walk."
A group of people immediately chased out of the city.
Ten miles south of Linzhou Prefecture, a group of people and horses were traveling on the official road when suddenly a group of speeding troops appeared from behind and headed towards them.
The chief innkeeper who was sitting in the carriage heard the noise, and his subordinates walked to the window and said to the people inside, "Chief innkeeper, there is a group of people coming towards us from behind. I think they are not right, and they seem to be coming for us."
The head shopkeeper lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked sideways to the back, and saw a cloud of dust rising from the rear and the sound of rapid horse hooves coming closer and closer.
The chief shopkeeper's face twisted slightly, and he ordered his subordinates, "Go quickly."
It was obvious that this group of people had bad intentions.
The Ghost Face and his group who were chasing behind noticed that the team in front had quickened their pace, so they immediately raised their whips and sped up.
In about a cup of tea's time, Ghost Face and his entourage surrounded the chief manager's carriage.
As people from Baishantang, or people who followed the chief manager, they were all arrogant. Someone immediately raised the whip in his hand and shouted at Guimian and his group with fierce eyes: "Who are you and why are you blocking our way?"
Ghost Face's deputy said, "Please invite the chief manager to come down for a chat."
The minions of Baishantang sneered and cursed directly: "Who are you? Can you see the chief manager whenever you want? Get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being rude."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a flying knife came towards his heart.
The minion felt a pain in his heart. He lowered his eyes and saw a flying knife stuck in his heart, with bright red blood flowing out.
“Boom”…
The little minion fell down directly.
This scene shocked the group of minions in Baishan Hall.
They didn't expect that the other group of people would kill people over a disagreement.
The assistant of the chief shopkeeper frowned and looked cold. Before he could speak, the people on the opposite side spoke again.
"Please come down and have a chat with us, Chief Manager."
This time, the minions of Baishan Hall did not speak out at first, and subconsciously looked at Brother Zhang, the confidant of the head manager.
Brother Zhang asked calmly, "May I ask who you are? What do you want from our chief manager?"
The ghost-faced deputy looked at Brother Zhang, then looked away and fixed his gaze on the car, "Boss, why don't you come out and talk?"
Brother Zhang was very upset by the man on the other side ignoring him, but he did not show it on his face and remained calm. As soon as he opened his mouth, the man on the other side took action before him.
A small minion at the front of the team was once again killed by the opponent's hidden weapon.
As the minion fell, the man said in a cold and provocative voice, "From now on, we will kill one person every minute until the boss is willing to come out and talk."
Such an arrogant threat made everyone in Baishan Hall furious.
When had they ever been threatened like this before? Everyone had an angry look on their face and the knives in their hands were ready to move.
The little henchman standing beside Brother Zhang said angrily, "Brother Zhang, let's go ahead and kill these sons of bitches."
This statement received unanimous response from all the brothers in Baishan Hall.
"Yes, kill them."
Faced with his angry subordinates, Brother Zhang did not lose his mind. He was waiting for the order from the chief manager.
As for Guimian and his group, they didn't take the anger of the people in Baishan Hall seriously at all.
The head shopkeeper in the car narrowed his eyes slightly. The other party had just attacked him twice, which clearly told him that they had the strength to make him surrender.
This is a naked threat.
"Boss, let me kill those ignorant lunatics." A burly subordinate spoke confidently to the people in the carriage.
At this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked out of the car and looked at the man wearing a ghost mask from a distance.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Please come over and have a chat, Chief Manager." The ghost-faced deputy said.
The chief shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that you are not sincere in coming to see Xu."
Ghost Face, who had never spoken, spoke in a hoarse voice, "Except for him, no one will be left alive."
The people below received the order and rushed forward immediately.
The people from Baishan Hall started fighting immediately without any instructions.
Brother Zhang observed the situation on the field and thought to himself that something was wrong.
They are afraid that they are in great danger this time. Brother Zhang's eyes rolled around and he said, "Protect the chief shopkeeper and lead him out of the encirclement."
Brother Zhang immediately commanded a team of people to take the chief manager away, while he stayed behind to resist the others.
However, Ghost Face and his group didn't want to fight with them at all, and rushed towards the team where the chief shopkeeper was.
Brother Zhang led the resistance into the woods...
The man with the ghost face saw through the other party's intention at a glance, waved his hand, and the two people who had been standing on the side without moving went towards Brother Zhang's group.
The fighting power of the people of Baishan Hall is far inferior to that of Guimian and his group. In addition, the number of people on both sides is evenly matched, so the outcome can be imagined.
One after another, the minions fell, but the people on the opposite sides only suffered some minor injuries. Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, the people of Baishan Hall could only keep retreating.
The chief shopkeeper's face was as gloomy as water, and he regretted not listening to Su Xiaozhong. If he didn't leave today, this group of people would never dare to attack him.
"You hold them back. After you succeed, I'll give each of your families a reward of 100 taels of silver."
For the sake of the one hundred taels, the minions of Baishan Hall, who were originally a little timid about being killed, immediately became ferocious.
The chief shopkeeper took advantage of this opportunity and immediately went into the woods.
He ran deeper into the woods as fast as he could, praying in his heart that they could hold out a little longer.
However, the opposite happened.
Half an incense stick later, he was picked up in a disheveled state and thrown in front of the man with the ghost face.
