Chapter 51 Big Brother's Plan
Zhao Xiaofei brought his eldest brother back to the Ming Dynasty and went to the backyard to interrogate Professor Qian and the other two. Zhao Xiaofei and Zhao Xiaokun sat on two armchairs respectively, and the three knelt in front of them. Zhao Xiaofei asked everyone else to leave. Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu hesitated, but Zhao Xiaofei glared at them and they left anyway.
Zhao Xiaofei said, "This time I'll let you die knowingly, Old Man Qian! This is the Ming Dynasty, and I'm a time traveler!"
Professor Qian looked dejected, like a defeated rooster, completely drained of energy. Then he lamented, "I was wondering! How did you get so many artifacts? Thousands of genuine items—you're truly generous! I was too greedy. This time, I'm done for!"
"We didn't mean to kill you. It was the mercenary who acted on his own initiative. You brought him to the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know what to do, so he attacked you. We only seek wealth, never kill. This time we only want these cultural relics, so please let us go!" Qian Cong kowtowed repeatedly. His whole body was trembling, and his lips were pale.
"Looking for money? You can make a lot of money from these thousands of cultural relics with commissions. Aren't you too greedy?" Zhao Xiaofei asked coldly.
Professor Qian laughed a few times and said calmly, "Hahaha! Who would complain about not making enough money? The idea was mine. Save my son's life."
"Dad!" Qian Cong didn't know what to say at this time, he just shouted.
Zhao Xiaokun then spoke up, "Tell me! Where did you find the person? What are you planning to do? Tell me everything, and I might consider sparing one of you."
Upon hearing the hope of survival, the fake city guard immediately spilled the beans. "I was hired by them," he said. "I and the people outside are members of a dark web organization. We had two people monitoring you. Then one of them disappeared, and these two tracked the target to determine where the goods were hidden, and then we tried to kill him outside the country!"
Zhao Xiaofei shouted angrily, "Qian! You old bastard, you're so cruel! You still want to kill me!"
"People die for money and birds die for food. How old are you, little kid? You can't understand! With so many things in front of you, how many people wouldn't be tempted? Maybe you can travel through time and have plenty of things, so you have no idea. These things can make you the richest man in the world, and that's the kind that only counts cash. No one can be richer than you! Wherever you go, people will flatter you. They will worship you like an ancestor. Who can resist such temptation?" Professor Qian said with a sneer.
"Please spare my life, I will tell you everything I know! Please spare my life!" the fake urban management officer begged.
Professor Qian turned around and looked at the fake urban management officer coldly, then said, "You fool! Can those two brothers spare our lives? Such a big secret, only the dead can keep it. How did you become a mercenary? Brains are a good thing, but not everyone has them!"
Zhao Xiaokun laughed and said, "Old Qian, do you think you've figured things out? We two brothers really intend to let you live! But this mercenary must die! He's worthless!" He then took out a scalpel, walked over to the mercenary, and gently cut the aorta in his neck, completely severing his carotid artery. Blood gushed out like a column. Because his hands and feet were bound, he couldn't apply pressure to the wound. His carotid artery was completely severed, leaving no chance of rescue. He would die from blood loss within minutes. No amount of pressure could control the bleeding. The body would quickly lose all blood, and his heart would fall into cardiac arrest, while his brain would simultaneously suffer from ischemia and hypoxia.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the mercenary began convulsing and collapsed in a pool of blood. Three minutes later, he was completely dead. Qian Cong was so frightened that he peed his pants. It was the first time he had seen someone killed in front of him. Every pore in his body exploded, and the endless fear made him completely exhausted.
"Song Wenjie is an undercover agent my father arranged in your company. There is nothing else!" Qian Cong said tremblingly.
"My silly son! Do you really believe it? Or are you scared silly? I was wrong. Zhao Xiaofei is really not that good, but you, as the eldest brother, are a ruthless person! Hahaha!" Professor Qian began to sneer.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Qian Cong screamed for mercy.
Zhao Xiaokun said to his brother, "Take the knife and kill these two grandsons!" Then he handed the knife to his brother.
"Brother! Just let someone else do it!" Zhao Xiaofei felt bad for several days after killing someone last time, and he didn't want to kill anyone himself.
"Brother, I'm doing this for your own good! You're a good coach, and this is an opportunity! A merciful army cannot be commanded! There will be a lot of bloody things in the future, so what does this little scene mean? Don't these two guys deserve to die? They wanted to seize your property and then rape you abroad. Will you still feel burdened if you kill them?" Zhao Xiaokun's continuous questioning left Zhao Xiaofei speechless.
Zhao Xiaofei gritted his teeth, his palms sweating. "Big Brother was right. If I can't even do this, how can I expect to save the Ming Dynasty?" He didn't take his big brother's scimitar, but instead picked up the embroidered spring knife that Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu had left him.
Zhao Xiaofei slowly walked towards Old Man Qian, looked at him with cold eyes, and asked only one question. "Old Man Qian! It's been so long, and I still don't know your real name? Can you tell me?"
Professor Qian said calmly, "I didn't expect you to ask this question. My original surname is Zhao, and we're actually from the same family! One of my ancestors was a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty! Her name was Liu Rushi. She and Qian Qianyi had a daughter, who married into a Zhao family. I'm her descendant! Remember, my name is Zhao Muzhai."
"It seems that you miss your ancestors very much! When I go to Nanjing, I will entertain your ancestors well, Liu Rushi and Qian Muzhai, right? I will take good care of them!" Zhao Xiaofei widened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
