"Teacher Xu has been using my son to blackmail me for years, and I have evidence of his bribery in my hands.
Although he would burn the account and write off the account every year after reconciliation, in fact, there are two copies of the account, and the other copy is in my hands!"
Zhu Qian raised his eyebrows. "Oh? You are quite powerful. But it doesn't matter. If you die, I will naturally settle the score with you."
"I am in the capital. If anything happens to me, I will be sent to the Censorate immediately!
By then, not only the old master but also those officials who took bribes will be finished, and you will also be responsible!"
Zhu Qian began to think about what Mr. Liu said.
He knew that Master Xu had always accepted bribes through the Qijun Tea House under the name of Master Liu. If Master Liu really had kept a trick up his sleeve and secretly copied the account information, it would not be a difficult task.
In the current situation, if he doesn't kill these two people, the two thousand taels of silver that are about to be in his hands will be gone.
Moreover, there is a high probability that he will not get any good results from Master Xu. This kid Xu Zhiyuan might use some shady tricks to harm him.
If he killed these two people and Tutor Xu really fell, he could run away with the two thousand taels of silver he earned from lending money. At worst, he could go back to his old job.
No, that's not right.
Why do we have to wait for Master Xu to fall?
These two men have already taken out all of the Taifu's assets. If I just kill them, wouldn't it be better for me to just take all the money and fly away?
That’s 13,000 taels of silver!!!
With so much silver, why would you be an official?
It’s too small. I was too narrow-minded just now.
After being "reminded" by Mr. Liu, Zhu Qian's mind was instantly opened and his eyes shone.
"Thank you so much, Master Liu." Zhu Qian's smile became even brighter.
Mr. Liu thought his threat had worked and the other party was going to let him go, so he just breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Zhu Qian said:
"To show my gratitude, let me personally send you off—"
The shining dagger was raised high, and Master Liu closed his eyes in despair and fear.
The imagined death did not come.
He opened his eyes just in time to see something flash by.
Zhu Qian's face suddenly changed, and he took a few steps back to calm himself down. Then he said nervously,
"Who are you? Stop playing tricks and come out!"
In his peripheral vision, a dark shadow flashed before him. Zhu Qian was about to chase after it, but he heard the rustling sound of footsteps behind him, and the location was as unpredictable as a ghost.
Zhu Qian quickly realized that the other person was not alone!
No, how could there be someone else here besides the three of us?!
At this moment, Qingdai and Zhusha suddenly appeared and attacked Zhu Qian from two directions respectively.
Zhu Qian raised the dagger and was about to fight the two men, but he heard movement behind him again, and his heart sank.
There are actually four people on the other side!
He was so frightened that he lost his composure. With the perfect cooperation of Qingdai and the other three, they snatched Zhu Qian's dagger in a few rounds.
Shuibi and Xinghuang kicked Zhu Qian's legs from behind. Zhu Qian fell to his knees. The next moment, two daggers were clamped around his neck.
"Who are you!?" Zhu Qian looked at them in horror.
The four men remained silent.
At this time, two clapping sounds were heard from the bamboo forest not far away. Zhu Qian immediately turned his head and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards this side slowly.
The sound of their conversation came from far away:
"Jing'er, is this play good?"
"Auntie, this is the first time Jing'er has seen fruits fighting since she was a child. It's so interesting~"
The two of them emerged from the bamboo forest, and Zhu Qian and the other two were finally able to see their faces clearly.
Xu Zhiyuan's reaction was the biggest, he stared with extreme shock.
“You, you…”
