It was nearly three watches, and the thick clouds covered the stars and moon in the sky, making the night of Ruzhou City deeper and deeper.

On such a late autumn night, the whole city had rested early, including Mu Yi, one of the largest grain merchants in Ruzhou.

But it's been a long time since he's really slept soundly.

Before, it was because I always dreamed that the government knew that I was doing things for Yama's hand, and then a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded the entire mansion and arrested myself and my family.

Whenever he was awakened in the middle of the night by such a nightmare, he was covered in a cold sweat, and then he couldn't sleep all night.

As a result, such a nightmare finally came true a few days ago - the official government really found out that he was delivering news for Yama's hand, and the Lord of the Ruzhou Garrison came to the door in person.

At that time, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed, thinking that the entire Mu family was going to be finished.

But as a result, the other party did not give the order to take people, but instead looked quite pleasant, and only said that he would give himself a better way to go, that is, to cooperate with the government and take down the hand of Yama.

Then even if he atons for his sins, not only will the previous matter be written off, but after the matter is completed, the Mu family will become the largest grain merchant in Ruzhou, and without one, he will be able to eat the grain that will be transported from Huguang in the future!

In the face of such a handle and benefits, how can Mu Yi have a choice?

can only do what they want, and contact Yan Luo's hand on the grounds that the people in Guobei County need help, so that they will fall into the trap of the government!

Although it was ungrateful to do so, and he would take revenge, he thought he had no choice.

Between the life and death of dozens of members of the family and the life of a gangster, he naturally chose the former without hesitation.

"I'm a good citizen, I'm a businessman, and that's my only choice." In the end, Mu Yi could only comfort himself with such a pale reason and excuse his conscience.

But these words couldn't deceive him after all, so in the past few days, he slept more unsteadily at night, and even every time he closed his eyes, he could see Yama's hand suddenly appear in front of him, holding the knife on his neck.

Tonight, he also suddenly woke up from a nightmare, only to feel covered in cold sweat.

After slowly opening his eyes, he suddenly found that there were a pair of eyes staring at him coldly at the head of the bed.

Is it a dream?

Still in a nightmare and haven't really woken up?

Mu Yi immediately pinched his thigh, but it was painful.

Not a dream!

This realization made Mu Yi's hairs stand on end, and cold sweat broke out again, and the whole person trembled.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, a knife had already been put on his neck: "If you dare to scream, not only will you die, but your whole family will also have to be buried together!" ”

The cold blade made people shudder, but what was even colder was the other party's completely emotionless gaze and voice.

This made Mu Yi dare not gamble at all, so he could only plead with the other party with his eyes, signaling that he would not make a noise.

It was only then that his eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness of the night, and he vaguely saw the appearance of the person in front of the bed. This made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, because that face was very familiar to him, especially recently, and he often fell asleep, it was Yama's hand.

"Yan ...... Yan Daxia spares his life...... "Mu Yi didn't know Guan Zhenduo's true identity, so he could only call him so indiscriminately—of course he didn't know that the Yan Luo hand in front of him had already changed, and it was Sun Ning who wore a mask and pretended.

"Whether you spare or not, it depends on whether you are honest or not." Sun Ning continued to say in a hoarse voice without any emotion, "You betrayed me this time, right?" ”

Mu Yi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after feeling the coldness in the other party's eyes and the sharpness in his throat, he didn't dare to lie to his face, so he could only nod lightly.

Immediately, he sobbed again: "Yan Daxia Mingjian...... I was forced to do this...... They, they've found out that I'm connected to you, and they're threatening me with my family......

"I really don't have a choice if I don't cooperate with them, it will be the end of the whole house......

"Yan Daxia, I know it's wrong, in the past few days, I haven't slept well every day, and I can't die to atone for my sins.

"If you really want to get angry, just kill me, and I will not complain. Just beg you to spare my family, they, they are innocent......"

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say." Sun Ning didn't believe that this person would be so calm, but the knife in his hand still went up a little, "Are you afraid of them, aren't you afraid that I will come back to retaliate?" They can kill your whole house, and I can kill your whole house!" ”

Feeling that the knife was farther away, Mu Yi was slightly sure in his heart, indicating that there was still a chance. hurriedly flattered: "Yan Daxia is much more benevolent and righteous than those dog officials, you will not harm the innocent......"

"Not necessarily." If it was Guan Zhenduo, maybe he would really let the other party go because of this, but Sun Ning was not so kind-hearted, "If you want to save your life and keep your family safe, you have to do as I say."

"Otherwise, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together, and you also know my means of killing!"

"What does Yan Daxia want the little one to do? Do you want money, or do you want me to help you get out of Ruzhou? ”

Mu Yi hurriedly asked, he thought that the other party was now in a Jedi, and it would be the best result to get out.

"Do you think I look like someone who has escaped?" Sun Ning sneered, "Open your mouth!" ”

Mu Yi subconsciously opened his mouth obediently, and then he was stuffed into a pill.

Before he could react next, Sun Ning had already slapped his hand on his chest, making him swallow the slightly bitter pill uncontrollably.

"This ...... What is it? He was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked in a panic.

"The Seven Days Death Pill is specially configured by me, only I can do it and solve it. If you don't get the antidote after seven days, it will make your whole body fester, die, and eventually turn into pus. Sun Ning said quietly.

Mu Yi, who was already colorless, was so frightened that he almost urinated, he didn't doubt that the other party had this ability at all.

After all, it is a person in the rivers and lakes, and there are some methods that ordinary people don't know.

"But don't worry, as long as you do things for me honestly and help me achieve this purpose, there will definitely be an antidote, and I can guarantee that you will live better in the future than now."

Now, where does Mu Yi have any other choice?

could only respond obediently: "Since Yan Daxia can trust me, just give me orders...... I, I will do what you tell me to do. ”

He deserved to be happy, but as Sun Ning told him what he was going to do next, Mu Yi's face completely changed again, and the fear in his eyes was even worse than just now.

However, after facing Sun Ning's threatening gaze, Mu Yi didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only nod obediently: "Small...... Do it as you wish! ”
