Cao Jinchang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his mind. He rushed out, grabbed the collar of the man at the next table who was quietly describing the incident, and asked urgently, "Where did this hanging corpse and tragedy you're talking about happen? Who were the people involved?"
The man looked bewildered and horrified: "Great hero, I... I didn't say anything. I'm not a member of the Canal Gang. I'm just a hunter from the countryside. If you don't believe me, ask the shopkeeper. I often deliver mountain products to this shop!"
"The Grand Canal Gang! You're talking about the Grand Canal Gang!" Cao Jinchang became even more anxious upon hearing this, and his men tightened their grip, almost strangling the man to death: "Tell me, what exactly is going on!"
The other people at the table were so frightened that they backed away, trying to run away.
Ji Fengyao gave Bai Lu a wink, and the two of them stood up and stopped the remaining people. They pressed their pressure points to immobilize them and said, "Weren't you all talking so enthusiastically just now? Now I'll let you talk your minds. Don't be afraid, I'll take responsibility for the consequences. But if you don't talk, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Oh my god!
These two girls looked beautiful and delicate, but their skills were terrifying. Before they could even react, they were subdued by these two girls!
The several burly men all turned pale, realizing they had encountered a tough opponent!
"Talk, talk, let's talk!" The man being held by Cao Jinchang couldn't hold on any longer and coughed, signaling Cao Jinchang to loosen his grip, indicating that he was about to suffocate.
Seeing that his face was purplish-red, Cao Jinchang realized he had been holding back for a long time, and then he let go.
The man slumped back down, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then looked around the empty tavern with fear in his eyes. Not seeing the fearsome masked man in black, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Gentlemen, just listen to this and forget about it. But whatever you do, don't tell anyone I told you."
"You fucking bastard, hurry up and say it...!" Cao Jinchang was already burning with impatience. Seeing that the man was still dragging his feet, he roared and raised his fist to step forward again.
The man shrank back in fright and blurted out in rapid succession, "It's a group of masked men in black! For some reason, they're causing trouble for the Canal Gang. But for some reason, the Canal Gang members have all suddenly gone into hiding and stopped showing up. So these masked men in black have captured the relatives of many Canal Gang members and are using these relatives to force the Canal Gang members to show up."
"What! They actually did such a heinous thing!" Cao Jinchang was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "These bastards!"
The man had already spoken his mind, and there was no turning back, so he simply spilled everything he knew: "They are not only heartless and insane, they are utterly inhuman."
Some members of the canal gangs, seeing their relatives arrested, showed themselves, wanting to exchange their own lives for their loved ones'. But the masked men in black refused to release them and eventually killed them all. After killing them, they never collected the bodies, leaving them in courtyards, fields, or even on the streets.
I heard that several government officials who tried to intervene were assassinated by them.
After listening to the man's long explanation, the others simply started enjoying the show. Although they had been immobilized, their mouths could still move.
"The worst off was the family of the leader of the Canal Gang. They were betrayed by the captured gang members, and their entire family of nearly a hundred people were surrounded by masked men in black..."
Cao Jinchang's heart pounded wildly. He interrupted the man, trembling, and asked incredulously, "The entire family of the Canal Gang leader, nearly a hundred people?!"
