Chapter 009: Who Are They?
Cheng Xiao was frightened, turned his head to look behind, and his face was instantly like dirt!
A black shadow swooped up to him like a falcon locked onto its prey, and before he could scream, the other party slammed into his neck with a palm......
Shen Changying's pupils above the screen door constricted, and her breathing pressure almost stopped.
The man in green clothes on the tree turned his head to look at Du Yan, who stared at Cheng Xiao under the palm of the man in black, and his eyes were as deep as night.
But none of them moved, as if none of them existed.
"Go search the study!"
Four cruel words came from under the face towel, and instead, the two people in black walked out behind them and went directly to the study.
"Wake him up!" The bandit leader who spoke earlier said again.
The person next to him squatted down, took a bottle of something and leaned in front of Cheng Xiao's nose, and after a moment of silence in front of the court, Cheng Xiao woke up quietly.
Then he got up and quickly looked around, before the sound in his throat came out, the man in black who was holding the knife had already bent his legs and half-squatted down.
"Don't do it in vain, it's useless for you to scream, I've already put down the whole courtyard. Your daughter-in-law and your two sons and daughters are now each hanging a knife at the head of their bed.
"As soon as you shout a word, the knife will cut their throats in no time. After all, for this day, I also prepared in advance. β
It was a sound that was sure to win, even in his posture.
Cheng Xiao stared at him for a long time, and swallowed his saliva: "Follow me to the study, I have 50,000 taels of ready-made silver tickets in hand." β
"Fifty thousand taels!" The bandit leader laughed, and the dagger held up his chin: "A small person from Wupin Zhizhou has 50,000 taels of silver tickets in hand. If I refuse, will you still be able to come up with 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels? β
Cheng Xiao's face couldn't help twitching.
"It's a pity, I'm not here for your money." The bandit leader turned his head to look at the study, "Where is the thing you received?" β
The long tassel on the beam narrowed slightly, and his gaze unconsciously moved to Cheng Xiao's face.
Du gradually maintained his original posture and did not move, but if he looked closely, his eyes were still a little darkened against the background of the night.
"What's that? I don't understand what you're saying! Cheng Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse, and he began to have some ups and downs. Who the hell are you? β
He looked up at the bandit leader and trembled, no one is not afraid of death, not to mention that he still has so much hope for his future.
"Who are we, haven't you guessed everything?" The man in black said, "If you want to live, hand it over." β
"I don't know what you're talking about? If you're afraid of fraud in the silver ticket, I can also give you calligraphy and paintings, antiquesβ"
"I know that you have made a lot of money in Jiangnan in the past few years, but unfortunately you can't fill my stomach even if you rob the treasury and come over for me.
"Don't try to fight with me, if you don't hand it over, not only will you die, I will start with your second son and kill all the way to the last person in this governor's mansion."
A cold sweat had already broken out on Cheng Xiao's forehead, shining a dazzling light under the dim corridor lamp.
He swallowed his saliva wildly and said hurriedly: "I really don't know what you are talking about, I have collected more things, if you want a file about banditry - as long as you don't kill people, I will erase whatever you want me to erase!" β
A knife swiped the ground with a cold light and pulled out, and instantly landed on his neck!
Cheng Xiao sat on the ground in shock, and the panting sound in his throat was like pulling a bellows.
Seeing this, Shen Changying was already surrounded by suspicions.
The person who came was really not asking for money, nor was he seeking revenge, but what was the thing he kept asking for?
What is it that deserves them to kill at all costs?
She looked back at the people under the porch and tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword again.
There was a stalemate below, and Du Yan, who was hiding in the dark, pulled off his towel and turned his head to look at the Tsing Yi man beside him.
The surprise on the face of the man in Tsing Yi was not as well controlled as he did. "They're tooβwho are they?!"
Du gradually withdrew his gaze and groaned.
Who they were, and how did he know?
Three months ago, he sneaked into the house and waited for three months for the Flower Dynasty Festival.
This is a great opportunity for him, he has been planning for so long, intending to take this opportunity to seize the target from Cheng Xiao, but he didn't expect that these people are also here to get things!
He looked under the tree and said, "Go and see the inner house." β
The man in Tsing Yi raised his hand, and someone left silently beside him.
"Catch Cheng Rong!" The bandit leader's voice suddenly rose a little, with a bit of unscrupulous flavor in this silent night, he stood up and looked at Cheng Xiao, "If you are not honest, then you will see with your own eyes how your baby son died, maybe you will be honest!" β
Cheng Xiao had already lost his initial composure, and even begging for mercy had a bit of a lost soul.
The long tassels on the eaves are also thinking.
Originally, she suspected that there was another truth about the killing of Xiaohefu in the process, not just for robbing money or because of the bandits' hatred of officials, but she didn't expect that it was not only not an ordinary case, but it also seemed that Cheng Xiao had provoked someone who was extremely difficult to mess with.
I just don't know what kind of amazing thing Cheng Xiao is holding in his hand?
"If you don't take it out, when I kill all the people in this mansion, and then search, I can also succeed.
"So why should you risk the lives of your whole family against yourself? I'll count to five, and when I'm done, you'll be too late to stop. Oneβ" The man in black gestured a finger.
Cheng Xiao looked at this hand, and his whole body trembled.
The person sent out took advantage of the wind to return to the tree and replied in an angry voice: "Cheng Xiao's family and acquaintances have already been ambushed by killers, and there are also bowers with them, so the brothers can't get close!" β
Du gradually stopped talking.
Cheng Xiao couldn't have another thing that could alarm so many people.
He began to affirm that what the other party was trying to do was the same as him!
But this secret and plan are so secretive that there are people who act so unanimously with him!
The man in Tsing Yi asked, "Do you want to attack?" β
He stared at the condescending bandit leader and the panicked Cheng Xiao, and said for a long time: "I can't do it." β
The man in Tsing Yi nodded and lurked silently.
"Send a message to Xie Peng and ask him to prepare outside in advance to answer. Wait for something to show up, do it immediately, move quickly, and withdraw as soon as you get it! Du gradually glanced at them.
Now that someone is involved, it is necessary to change the plan.
"Obey!"
The figure went down with the voice, and there was a terrifying voice from below:
"Two!"
Time seemed to be held back by a boulder, and suddenly became heavy.
"Three-"
"I say! I say! β
Cheng Xiao almost roared, and the original slumped posture was changed to kneel and crawl on the ground, a pair of eyes stared at this person with extremely wide eyes, his body trembled a few times, and stretched out his hand......
