Another knife stabbed into Jiang Yan's body.
Jiang Yan held on to the table, she was about to die.
The man came in front of her, and it was Zhou Jin.
Jiang Yan kept asking, "How is this possible? What is going on?"
Zhou Jin pinched her jaw and said, "This face is so beautiful!"
Jiang Yan's eyes were dazed. She held her breath and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "The facts are right in front of you, why don't you believe it?"
Jiang Yan was on the verge of collapse. "When did this happen? When did you start working with Liu Zhao? You said you were going to kidnap Gu Jiu, were you lying to me?"
"Of course I'm not lying to you. Haven't you always been curious about why I kidnapped Gu Jiu? You thought it was for a love affair, but you're wrong. I was looking for a new way out for my brothers."
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Yan laughed sarcastically, "Brother? A new way out? You're kidding! You never considered those pirates your brothers, and they never really considered you their boss.
When your power was weakened, your so-called brothers were ready to take your place. I see that you were forced into a corner by your brothers, so you used me as bait to seek Liu Zhao's survival.
You are so pitiful. Li Hailong, who once dominated the world, has now become a homeless dog, forced to kneel at Liu Zhao's feet. It must be very painful. Back then, Gu Jiu refused to look you in the eye. Now that you have become Liu Zhao's lackey, it is even more impossible for her to look you in the eye. You poor wretch!
Zhou Jin's face twisted, and he increased the strength of his hands, almost crushing Jiang Yan's jaw.
Jiang Yan summoned up her last bit of strength and angrily shouted, "Now you are just a dog of Liu Zhao, even worse than a dog. You poor creature, you will definitely not have a good ending. I will be waiting for you down there, always waiting for you."
"Very good. I will take you down to see the King of Hell now."
Snap!
Jiang Yan's head drooped limply.
Zhou Jin threw her away.
Bang!
Her body fell heavily to the ground, her eyes open.
Zhou Jin took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, took off the dagger, and walked out of the yard.
Qian Fu was waiting outside the gate.
Zhou Jin had a gloomy face and nodded to Qian Fu, indicating that the matter had been completed.
Qian Fu smiled slightly and flicked his finger. Immediately, several people entered the courtyard, carried away the body, and washed away the blood on the ground, ensuring that no trace of murder was left.
After everything was settled, Zhou Jin asked Qian Fu, "What should we do next?"
Qian Fu chuckled and said, "Let's get on the carriage first and talk while we go."
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, and even though he had doubts in his heart, he still got on the carriage.
Qian Fu also got on the carriage.
The spacious carriage did not have a pleasant atmosphere.
Because at this moment, the dagger in Qian Fu's hand had already pierced Zhou Jin's abdomen.
Zhou Jin was furious, "You want to kill me? What a delusion!"
Liu Zhao had crossed the river and destroyed the bridge. He vowed not to be a human being if he did not avenge this.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Qian Fu's neck. "I will kill you first, and then I will kill Liu Zhao."
Qian Fu was calm and composed, with a smile on his face, looking at Zhou Jin as if he were a fool.
Zhou Jin was horrified. "The dagger is poisoned. You..."
His strength gradually faded, and he was completely unable to use his martial arts skills.
He looked at Qian Fu in disbelief.
Qian Fu said casually, "A man of small mind is not a gentleman, and a man without venom is not a man. This is what Master Zhou often says. Today, I will return this saying to you. To deal with pirates like you, any means are acceptable."
Once you're down there, stay company with Jiang Yan and stop arguing. After all, she's been with you for so many years, so she's loyal to you. Also, my prince asked me to tell you something: Don't even take a piss and look in the mirror? You dare to covet my wife! You're courting death!"
Zhou Jin's face was frozen, and he could no longer make any expression.
His eyes blazed with fire as he struggled to speak, "Even if I become a ghost, I will not let Liu Zhao go. You will all go back on your word and die miserably. My people will definitely avenge me."
"Your people?"
Qian Fu smiled contemptuously, "Are you sure your people are still yours?"
What's the meaning?
Zhou Jin was terrified.
Qian Fu didn't keep the secret and directly opened the carriage door.
A familiar figure was sitting in the carriage, driving with the coachman.
Juan!
How could Zhou Jin's confidant, the chief steward, the person who manages his accounts, be here?
Juan turned around and looked at Zhou Jin. A trace of guilt and fear flashed across his eyes, and then turned into determination and hatred.
"Greetings, sir!"
Juan bowed slightly as per the old custom.
"It's you! It's actually you! I should have thought of it earlier."
Zhou Jin regretted his decision.
In the past two years, his power has been greatly damaged.
He had always suspected there was a mole and had dealt with many people. However, he did not expect that the real mole was actually right beside him the whole time, and that was Juan, his confidant.
Juan lowered his head and said, "Sir, you shouldn't have killed my son and my wife."
"I cleaned up the mess for you, and you actually blame me?"
Juan smiled coldly, "Even if we need to clean up the house, I should be the one to make the decision. It's not your turn to make the decision for me."
Zhou Jin laughed heartily, his laughter was particularly sad.
"I see, I see! Hahahaha..."
Juan turned his head and stopped looking at Zhou Jin.
Qian Fu said to Zhou Jin, "Mr. Zhou, don't blame my prince. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Being a pirate never ends well."
Zhou Jin took his last breath and said, "I want to see Gu Jiu. Let me see her for the last time."
Qian Fu shook his head, "My wife won't see you."
Liu Zhao is a jealous person, so how could he let Zhou Jin meet his wife? You must be kidding.
Zhou Jin's eyes widened. "Tell me, does Gu Jiu know that I'm in the capital? Does she know that Liu Zhao is plotting against me?"
Qian Fu was silent.
"Tell me! Otherwise I will die with regrets."
Qian Fu smiled and said, "Madam knows nothing. His Highness does not allow us to disturb Madam with dirty people and dirty things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jin took his last breath.
His eyes were wide open, and he truly died with his eyes open.
Qian Fu knocked on the door, and the carriage turned and headed straight for the mass grave outside the city.
People like Zhou Jin deserve to be buried in a mass grave.
…
Guo Taohua bought a coal stove, one hundred honeycomb coals, and enough rice, flour, meat and vegetables for three days, and had the coal factory workers pull them on a donkey cart back to the sixth-phase house.
After entering the door, she put her things down first.
After seeing off the guy who delivered honeycomb coal for the coal stove, he closed the gate and went upstairs.
"Swallow, Swallow, I've bought the food. Are you hungry? I'll make a fire and cook dinner now."
She opened the door and found it empty. Apart from the furniture, there was no one inside and no Jiang Yan's bag.
Guo Taohua was stunned.
She searched around in other rooms and then returned to the first floor.
I searched every room but didn't see Jiang Yan.
There was only a puddle of water left in the patio.
Guo Taohua was stunned. "Did Yan Zi leave?"
Did Jiang Yan leave because she didn't trust her?
The baggage was also gone, obviously he had left.
Finally, she saw the key hanging on the wall of the courtyard gate. It was the key she gave to Jiang Yan.
It seems that Jiang Yan has indeed left.
Guo Taohua sighed.
Forget it, since the person has already left, there is no point in thinking too much.
She returned to the shop carrying rice, flour, meat and vegetables.
The family lives in harmony and life goes on as usual.
…
In the evening, Qian Fu returned to Xiaozhu to report.
Liu Zhao asked, "Is everything cleaned up?"
Qian Fu bowed and said, "Your Highness, everything has been dealt with. Your Highness can take over the pirates at any time."
Liu Zhao said, "Leave the matter of taking over the pirates to Chen Dachang. Your Highness will not interfere."
Money is unexpected.
Liu Zhao explained, "Chen Dachang and his men have always been in charge of the overseas operations. Handing the pirates over to Chen Dachang will allow him to handle them. My wife and I reached a conclusion on this matter several years ago."
"I understand. I will arrange it as soon as possible."
After a pause, he asked again: "Does Your Highness want to use Juan?"
Liu Zhao was very straightforward, "Leave it all to Chen Dachang and let Chen Dachang handle it."
Liu Zhao had no good feelings towards this group of pirates.
If he had not seen that these pirates had good fighting ability and could be taken to overseas bases to kill the natives, he would have ordered all of them to be executed long ago.
Killing one person is killing, killing one hundred or one thousand people is killing.
Liu Zhao never concealed his murderous intentions.
After arranging the specific matters, Liu Zhao came to the backyard in a happy mood.
Gu Jiu waved at him and said, "Today I took Yu Ge'er to the new house. Yu Ge'er named each courtyard. What do you think?"
"Very good. Very good."
Liu Zhao smiled and praised generously.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You said it's okay without even looking at it carefully."
"That's great! It's my son's name, how could it be bad?" Liu Zhao said with a smug look on his face.
Gu Jiu was curious, "You seem to be in a good mood today. Did anything good happen?"
Liu Zhao hugged Gu Jiu tightly. "The people below are becoming more and more capable. They have already completed all the tasks assigned to them without my urging."
Gu Jiu asked, "Is Qian Fu back?"
Liu Zhao smiled and nodded in agreement, "Qian Fu just returned to Beijing today."
Gu Jiu had long been coveting Qian Fu.
What a talent!
She asked, "You really don't want to give Qian Fu to me? I'll hire him with a high salary."
Liu Zhao shook his head repeatedly, "You already have the entire Shanhe Academy as a talent pool, so don't compete with me for wealth."
Gu Jiute said with disdain, "You are just stingy."
"Yes, yes, I am stingy. Qian Fu is mine anyway, I will definitely not give him to you." Liu Zhao was very proud.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and asked casually, "Do you feel that Brother Yu'er's handwriting has improved a lot?"
"Practice calligraphy every day. If he doesn't make progress, I will beat him with a stick."
"Don't hit the child for no reason. You're very ruthless and the child has been hurt by you."
"Boys have thick skin and can't be broken."
Liu Zhao was in such a good mood that he was smiling even when talking about beating children.
Gu Jiu poked his forehead and said, "What good news is there that makes you so happy?"
Liu Zhao bit her ear and said, "Are you happy with the income of 200,000 taels?"
"Where did the money come from?"
"I stole it."
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, "I guess you've been running away and becoming a bandit these days!"
