Chapter 1070: Instead
Zhao Tianming lost face in the family, and the anger in his heart was difficult to quell.
He was well aware of the importance of the bronzes to the Zhao family and decided to take them back at all costs.
So in the middle of the night, he secretly bought off several professional thieves, intending to sneak into Jin Rui's residence and steal the bronzes.
These thieves are all habitual criminals in the rivers and lakes, skilled and experienced.
They took advantage of the cover of night and quietly came to Jin Rui's residence.
However, when they infiltrated the house, they were stunned by what they saw.
Jin Rui's residence is filled with all kinds of antiques and jade objects, each of which is priceless.
These thieves are people who see money, and when they see so many treasures, they suddenly feel evil.
They looked at each other and smiled, and secretly laughed at Jin Rui's house for not being defended, so he could only cheapen them.
One of the thieves whispered: "Brothers, we can make a fortune this time, so many treasures, just a few pieces are enough for us to eat for a lifetime!" ”
The other thieves nodded in agreement, and they began to pick out the treasures.
At this moment, a cold and piercing voice suddenly sounded: "Since a few of you are here, don't leave in a hurry." ”
The thieves were startled when they heard this, and looked up, only to see Jin Rui standing at the door, looking at them with a playful face.
In his hand he held a bright knife with a cold light shining on the blade.
"Why are you here?" A thief stammered.
"Me? Of course I'm waiting for you here. Jin Rui sneered.
"Do you think I'm going to make it easy for you?"
Seeing that this was not good, the thieves tried to escape.
However, Jin Rui's figure flashed, blocking their way.
With a flick of the knife in his hand, he chopped off the arm of a thief.
"Ahh The thief screamed and fell to the ground.
The other thieves were terrified and knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Please spare us! We don't dare anymore! The thieves cried.
Jin Rui looked at them coldly: "Let you go? If you dare to steal my things, you should have thought that this would happen! ”
As he spoke, the knife in his hand swung again, slashing off the leg of the other thief.
The thieves screamed and screamed, and soon there was a river of blood on the ground.
The thief at the head was already frightened.
He cried and fell to his knees, knocking his head incessantly: "I shouldn't have stolen your things, please let us go!" ”
Jin Rui sneered: "If you just steal this money, I can let you go!" ”
"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't be someone else's knife, how can I let you go?"
When the thieves heard Jin Rui's words, they suddenly woke up like a dream.
They understand that they really capsized in the gutter this time and met someone they shouldn't mess with.
"Big brother, we were really instructed by Zhao Tianming!" A thief cried.
"He gave us a large sum of money to steal a bronze."
"We didn't want to come, but he said that if we didn't come, we wouldn't be able to mingle in the rivers and lakes."
"We are also forced to be helpless!"
Other thieves also chimed in, saying that they were indeed forced by Zhao Tianming.
Jin Rui sneered when he heard this: "Forced to be helpless? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? ”
"If you don't want to come, you can completely refuse Zhao Tianming's request."
"But you didn't, but you still wanted to steal my treasure."
"This shows that you are greedy people in nature, and you are innocent of death!"
The thieves trembled with fright from Jin Rui's words, and they knew that they were really in danger this time.
But the thief at the head suddenly had an idea and said to Jin Rui: "Big brother, we are willing to atone for our sins!" ”
"As long as you let us go, we are willing to bring Zhao Tianming over to see you!"
Other thieves also expressed their willingness to cooperate and brought Zhao Tianming to see Jin Rui.
Jin Rui thought for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a chance." ”
"If you can bring Zhao Tianming over to see me, then I can let you live."
The thieves were overjoyed when they heard this, and kowtowed again and again to thank Jin Rui for his grace not to kill.
They said that they would definitely handle this matter well and bring Zhao Tianming to Jin Rui.
Jin Rui sneered and said, "It's better to be like this, otherwise, you know the consequences." ”
The thieves said yes in unison, and then helped each other out of Jin Rui's residence.
They were secretly glad in their hearts that they had finally picked up a life.
But they also know that they really provoked the wrong people this time.
In the future, you must be careful and careful in the rivers and lakes, and you must not provoke this kind of person again.
At this time, Zhao Tianming was still dreaming at home, fantasizing about being able to recapture the bronze and revive the Zhao family.
Unbeknownst to him, he had been betrayed by the thieves.
What's even more unbelievable is that Jin Rui is waiting for his arrival, ready to give him a fatal blow.
The night was getting darker, but Zhao Tianming was drinking and chatting with two bewitching beauties in the mansion, immersed in the gentle township.
He had a smug smile on his face, fantasizing that the bronze was in hand and that the Zhao family's prestige was about to be revived.
Just then, several embarrassed thieves suddenly broke into the room.
Zhao Tianming was stunned for a moment, and then saw that it was them, and his face showed joy.
He thought the thieves had brought good news and that the bronze had been obtained.
"Brothers have worked hard, please take a seat! Come, warm up with a glass of wine. ”
Zhao Tianming greeted them warmly and poured them wine with his own hands.
However, the thieves did not take the glass as he had hoped.
The thief led by threw the wine glass on the ground, and the wine splashed Zhao Tianming's body.
"Zhao Tianming, you despicable villain!" The thief roared.
"You actually used us to steal Jin Rui's things, but you enjoyed yourself here!"
Zhao Tianming was scolded and confused, and asked puzzledly: "Brothers, what does this mean?" Didn't I tell you to steal the bronzes? What's wrong? ”
"What's wrong? You still have the face to ask! Another thief stepped forward and slapped Zhao Tianming hard.
"We were almost killed by Jin Rui! You bastard, for your own benefit, let us go to death! ”
Zhao Tianming was beaten to a stumbling ground and almost fell to the ground.
He clutched his cheeks and looked in disbelief at the thieves who were supposed to be obedient to him.
"How dare you hit me?" Zhao Tianming roared angrily.
"What's wrong with beating you? We're going to take you to see Jin Rui! The thief at the head sneered.
"Do you think you're safe hiding here? Tell you, Jin Rui already knows all your plans, and he asked us to bring you over to meet him! ”
Zhao Tianming was shocked when he heard this, and the anger in his heart was instantly replaced by fear.
