Chapter 3
Yu Hang signaled Lin Xing not to make a sound and took her out. There were two bodies lying outside the door.
The two of them walked to the accounting office in silence. Yu Hang had already confirmed the safety of the accounting office and there would be no one else there except them.
Lin Xing sighed and glanced at the account book in the room. "The matter will be exposed tomorrow. If we can't find the problem tonight, there is only one way left."
"What road?"
“Dead end.”
Despite such a cold joke, Yu Hang still laughed in agreement.
Yu Hang didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he used a very old-fashioned phrase: "Do you have confidence?"
Lin Xing smiled and replied: "Of course, I'm a professional."
Time was short and the task was heavy, so the two stopped chatting and started looking for suspicious account books. While searching, Lin Xing discovered that the account books of people related to the money house were independent, which further proved their guess.
An hour passed before they sorted out all the suspicious account books. Now there are still three hours left until noon, which is their last time.
Lin Xing sat on the ground and looked through the pages one by one. When she found any mistakes, she tore them off and put them aside. Yu Hang was standing beside her, holding a lamp and handing her the account books. As time passed, the outside gradually became lively. The accounting office was so quiet that one could hear the manager's angry shouts.
When they heard the steward's order to arrest Lin Xing, the guards began to search the entire bank. Yu Hang walked to the door, observed through the crack, and looked for an opportunity for them to escape. Finally, he found the loophole, and Lin Xing had also finished reading the account book.
Lin Xing quickly put the account books that the two had taken back to their place and followed Yu Hang out of the money house. Yu Hang brought Lin Xing to his secret residence, arranged everything for her and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Lin Xing stopped him and explained some things to him before letting him go.
Not long after Yu Hang left, news came from the money house that the maid Xiao Xing had fallen into the water and died, and Lin Xing was working hard to settle the accounts at this moment.
It was not until the afternoon that Lin Xing settled the accounts. It turned out that the money shop had lost more than 1,500 taels over the years. They had embezzled a total of 9,000 taels! Lin Xing thought: These bastards will definitely be made to pay the price.
Just then Yu Hang came back, and Lin Xing hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and asked how things were going. See Yu Hang nodded. Only then did she feel relieved.
Tonight is the day those bastards die.
Yu Hang picked up the teacup. The tea was already cold, but he didn't care. Only after he finished the cup of tea did he begin to tell his story: "I followed your advice and left a pair of your shoes by the lake, and now the people in the bank are trying to fish out your body."
"I invited those dignitaries to come in the name of Boss Zhao. I guess they will be here soon."
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed? If they come and find out it's a scam, they will definitely leave immediately, and they might even alert the enemy."
Lin Xing frowned. She did not agree with Yu Hang's method. The risk of being exposed was too great.
"Don't worry about that. I guarantee they will stay at the bank tonight. You just need to decide who to attack first."
Yu Hang did not directly reveal Boss Zhao's identity. Lin Xing guessed that he should not reveal it, so she stopped asking. As for that question, she already had the answer in her mind.
"The one in charge."
She would make his life worse than death.
The two of them waited for the opportunity to come in the house, and Lin Xing finally had time to observe the room she was in.
There are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, which is very concise and consistent with Yu Hang's outward personality. However, if it were the real him, this room would be too deserted.
Lin Xing looked at all the furniture in the room and finally set her sights on Yu Hang. The more she looked, the more strange it seemed to her. She felt as if something was missing.
Lin Xing just stared at him. Yu Hang felt her gaze and looked at her in confusion. When the two looked at each other, Yu Hang's sword turned red, and Lin Xing finally remembered what was missing.
"Mr. Xu, where is your White Lady? Why haven't I seen her these past few days?"
Yu Hang was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lin Xing was teasing him, and his face turned even redder.
"Oh, stop teasing me. As for Xiaobai, aren't you afraid of snakes? I'll leave it with the person who came with me for now."
"Is it really called Xiaobai? Doesn't it have a decent name?"
Yu Hang smiled sheepishly, "I didn't give it a name before, and I'm not very good at it, so I just called it Xiaobai."
"This name is very good and suits her appearance." When Lin Xing said this, she thought of the white snake again and shuddered.
Yu Hang noticed that the topic had changed, and the two of them just kept chatting about random things, all of which were insignificant, but it was enough to kill time.
When they heard the drumming outside, they knew it was midnight and time to take action. Yu Hang took Lin Xing back to the bank and went to the manager's room under the cover of night.
The two men walked to the bed and found that the steward had not woken up yet. They hung the white silk they brought on the beam, then knocked the steward unconscious and hung him there with his hands tied behind his back. Lin Xing would not let him hang himself so easily, so she put a stool under the steward's feet.
After doing all this, Yu Hang brought a basin of cold water to wake up the manager. When he woke up, he saw Lin Xing with disheveled hair, who looked like a female ghost. He wanted to scream, but his mouth was sealed; he struggled, but his hands were tied. He even felt that the stool under his feet could be pulled away at any time.
His extreme panic made him lose the ability to distinguish, and he didn't even notice that there were two people in the room. He suddenly became even more terrified by Xiaotao's death and kept shaking his head.
As he struggled, the cloth covering his mouth loosened, which was also what the two had planned.
"Xiao Tao, are you Xiao Tao? Aren't you dead? Your death has nothing to do with me. It was your own choice. Don't blame me. Blame yourself for not being blessed."
After he said this, he kept shaking his head and saying things like "Don't blame me" and "It has nothing to do with me".
Although she had known it for a long time, Lin Xing was still very sad when she heard the steward admit it himself.
"Xiao Tao? You are not worthy of mentioning her. Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who I am."
The steward calmed down when he heard the familiar voice. He used the moonlight to identify her for a long time before he realized it was Xiao Xing.
"Xiao Xing? Didn't you jump into the river? How dare you come back and tie me up, you little bitch."
Bang! A stone landed accurately on the steward's face, and his face immediately swelled up. Only then did he notice Yu Hang's presence, and then he continued to speak harshly.
"It seems that you escaped with the help of this adulterer. I should have killed you long ago."
Snap, Snap, Snap, Snap. These stones were thrown with greater force than before, and the manager was hit so hard that he could not speak.
The world is finally quiet.
"You're quite stubborn, but I didn't come here today to listen to your nonsense. Look at what this is."
Lin Xing threw a pile of clothes on the ground. In order to let the manager see it clearly, she threw it where the moonlight could shine. She admired her own thoughtfulness.
The manager's eyes widened, and he roared in pain, "I'm going to kill you. What have you done to my son?"
"What else can I do? Of course I'll kill him, and he'll die the same way as you. I'm so sorry, I forgot to bring you his ears."
Lin Xing made a guilty expression as she spoke, as if she was really sorry. Seeing the steward's stunned expression, Lin Xing decided to give him another strong medicine: "But his ears are too small to be cut. After all, he will only be one year old tomorrow. But don't be disappointed, I have another big gift for you."
As soon as Lin Xing finished speaking, something was thrown in from the window and hit the ground. The thing rolled all the way to the stool where the steward was standing, and it turned out to be a human head.
"younger brother!!!"
The steward had lost the ability to speak and could only repeat his brother's name.
"I remember your kindness and brought my brother's head to you. You don't know how fiercely people out there are fighting for it. Not to mention others, just the families of the women your brother insulted, they spent thousands of gold to buy it."
"By the way, to compensate them, I gave them your brother's limbs. I am really kind."
Lin Xing admired his ugly appearance and suddenly kicked the stool away. The manager's face immediately twisted and he left two words at the end: vicious woman.
Yu Hang confirmed that he was dead, and took out the confession letter prepared by Lin Xing and put him in custody. Every transaction they made was recorded on it, and now it was perfect with the red handprint.
They began to disguise the scene and make it look like the manager committed suicide out of fear of crime. Lin Xing really wanted to chop off his head to commemorate the dead Xiaotao, but for the sake of the overall situation she resisted the urge.
Everything was ready. Before sending someone to ring the bell to announce the steward's death, Yu Hang asked Lin Xing a question.
"How does it feel?"
"Very good, I hope my enemies will call me a vicious woman, which means I win."
Although she said that, Lin Xing's red eyes betrayed her.
"Ring the bell, this is just the beginning."
Yu Hang nodded and began to give orders to his men. The next second, the deep sound of bells echoed over the bank.
Everyone in the money shop was awakened, and Yu Hang sent people to invite all the dignitaries to the front hall to catch them in the trap.
Calculating that the time was almost up, the two went to the front hall to proceed to the final chapter of the case.
As soon as they reached the door, Lin Xing and Yu Hang heard an argument inside, and they stopped in tacit understanding.
"It's the middle of the night. What the hell is that guy doing? He won't let us rest."
"That's enough. He's not here yet. Why don't you dare say this in front of him?"
"He is just a dog of Boss Zhao. I am doing this for Boss Zhao's sake."
The whole room burst into laughter.
"Boss Zhao invited us to come for a gathering, why didn't he show up? Do you know?"
The room was silent and no one responded. They stopped eavesdropping and just pushed the door open and walked in.
For a moment, all eyes were on the two of them. This was the first time Lin Xing saw them, and her impression of them was that they were fat and big-eared. Lin Xing glanced around and found that there was still one person with a well-proportioned figure.
The person sitting in the first seat asked first: "Who are you two?"
Lin Xing bowed to him and replied, "I am the maidservant of the steward. It is really a bad idea to invite you all here, but there is nothing I can do about it. I hope you can understand."
"No problem, so what's going on?"
Lin Xing gave Yu Hang a look, and he went to distribute a piece of paper to everyone present. Everyone's expression changed after seeing the above content, except the one sitting in the first seat.
"I wonder where your master is?"
"He is dead."
The room suddenly exploded, and this time even the chief seat leader lost his composure. But he still has some ability. Even in this environment, he noticed something wrong in Lin Xing's words.
"Ask again, who are you two?"
"Me? I'm an evil ghost who's here to take your life. I thought Magistrate Gao would recognize me at first sight."
Hearing this, County Magistrate Gao suddenly slammed the table.
Many guards with weapons immediately came in from outside the house, and the house was surrounded by three layers of defense. Looking at the disgusting smile on County Magistrate Gao's face, Lin Xing and Yu Hang looked at each other.
The next second, a scream was heard outside the house, followed by continuous screams.
