Dozens of thugs were assigned tasks, and a few timid ones stood guard at the intersection to keep watch.
Those who had seen blood on their hands directly climbed over the wall and approached the yard.
"no problem!"
Then, the thugs tied up the merchant and his entire family with ease.
I saw the thugs breaking into the business and about to attack the businessman.
Swish!
In the courtyard, sword energy suddenly appeared and pierced through the chests of several gangsters.
The gangster didn't react until the moment he was killed.
“There really is… a master!”
Swish!
More than a dozen thugs, including the one keeping watch outside the door, were all stabbed through the chest with a sword.
The continuous sound startled the people around.
At this time, no one still dared to come out late at night.
Swish~
The sword energy circled the yard and cut the ropes that bound the merchant.
"Help~"
A shrill cry pierced the night sky.
Crunch~
The merchant neighbor opened the door.
The expressions of several guards from the Zhou family not far away suddenly changed.
"Have you been discovered?"
Wan San asked.
"Unlikely! They all know how to act and are experienced, so it's not easy to be discovered!"
"So what's going on now?"
"Go and take a look!"
Several guards left Zhou's house and walked a few steps towards the scene of the incident, taking a look from a distance.
By this time, most of the neighbors were already up.
The merchant family is gathered in the center.
The corpses on the ground seemed to indicate that a massacre had just taken place here.
"What happened? It seems like the truth has been revealed!"
Several guards looked pale.
"Wansan, go over and find out what's going on."
One of the guards said tremblingly.
“Why is it always me who goes?”
"You are familiar with the surrounding situation, and we know nothing."
Wan San was pushed out by several guards.
With extreme reluctance, Wan San walked into the crowd.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Wan San's face turned pale.
It’s over!
All were killed.
They had only been in the house for less than a quarter of an hour, so how come they were all lying on the ground?
Who killed him.
Suppressing his physical discomfort, Wan San coughed lightly and said, "I'm a guard of the Zhou family. I came to see what happened here and report to the master."
"Zhou family guards, you came at the perfect time! These bastards wanted to kill our whole family at night, and also took our family's life savings."
The businessman lay on the ground crying and shouting.
The crying soon attracted many neighbors.
Many people who lived nearby also got up and came to watch.
When they saw the corpse on the ground, everyone looked strange.
"What's going on?"
Wan San asked.
"Let's have a good time tonight..."
The businessman recounted in detail the situation his family had encountered.
"So, they were killed suddenly?"
"Yes! We were tied together and couldn't even shout, let alone fight. They suddenly fell to the ground, and the ropes on us suddenly came loose."
The merchant family said this, showing the ropes they were tied with.
Everyone looked and saw that the rope had indeed been cut by a sharp weapon.
Soon the yamen runners came over.
Watching the coroner open the chests of dozens of gangsters.
hiss!
The onlookers gasped.
"this……"
"Why are all the wounds the same? There's a hole in their hearts."
"It looks like Bo Jian killed him."
"Who in our city can wield such a sword and kill so many masters with one strike?"
"The key point is, everyone seems to have been killed with a single sword strike."
Everyone thought about it for a long time, and the more they thought about it, the more they dared not think further.
hiss~
"Did you see the murder?"
The bailiff asked.
"No!"
The businessman shook his head.
"Look at these people, they still have the look of death on their faces. It shows how hastily they died!"
Someone reminded.
Swish~
Everyone turned their gazes back to stare at the dead body's face.
"That's exactly what happened. Aside from a few Saint-level warriors who seemed to have some regret on their faces, the others seemed to have died without anyone knowing how they died."
The coroner said.
"Could it be that these Saint-level warriors discovered something?"
"Impossible! If they had discovered something, they would have screamed. They died because of their abundant Qi. After being killed, they lived a few more seconds to reflect on their lives, which is why they look regretful."
The coroner said with certainty.
Working in this line of work, I've seen a lot of thoughts of victims before they die.
Everyone nodded.
No one challenged the coroner's authority.
Anyone with a little common sense can understand these expressions.
"It seems that the killer is at least a supreme master."
"Could it be that Master Zhou has returned?"
Someone asked.
Swish!
Suddenly, the whole air became quiet.
"So, the rumor that the Zhou family brought in experts to plan and wait for the chaos in the city before taking action is true?"
"I'm afraid that's true. How can we afford to support other masters in this remote little town of ours? I haven't heard of any other powerful people in our city."
After some analysis.
Everyone suddenly realized that apart from the old masters of the Zhou and Liu families hiding in the dark, there seemed to be no other possibility.
"Why are they hiding in the dark?"
"It's just to wait for the bastards in our city to take action so that they can catch them all in one fell swoop."
"This net has indeed caught a lot of bastards. But what about the others?"
Wan San didn't know how to get back to Zhou's house.
So scary.
Just one step and he's done.
