The letter was sent, Xiao Yao was still upset, what would happen in the future, everything became unknown, the enemies that he had been strong against in the past could be said to be under control, and the current enemies could be said to be equal, and if he was not careful, it would cause an irreparable situation.

"Here's the most recent account, you take a look. ”

Ling Du handed the accounts of various industries to Xiao Yao.

Exhaled, Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "You better say it directly, I don't understand these accounts at all." ”

"Now three or four out of ten industries in Qingyan City are under our control, the major silver banks have sufficient savings, since the elimination of bandits, the city's economy has been able to recover, in addition to the reduction of Zhou Shun's taxes, our overall profit has tripled, according to the budget, a year of net profit conservatively estimated at 30 million taels of silver. Ling Du explained.

Xiao Yao was overjoyed in his heart, with such a guarantee, the speed of the rise of Jiuyao Palace has increased a lot, the only thing that is lacking now is manpower, without strong power, even if he earns more, he will eventually be swallowed up.

"How many members of the Gangs are there at the moment?" Xiao Yao asked.

"More than seven hundred. Ling Du replied.

Nodding, Xiao Yao said in a deep voice: "The number of people is not small, stop recruiting members, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, don't let a few stinky fish stir up a pot of fish, no matter what, the reputation of the Black Ferry Gang is not too good, for us, and for Brother Zhou, we should be low-key and low-key." ”

Blinking, Ling Du said disapprerovingly: "You can't have both, if you don't expand your manpower now, it will be difficult to grow in the future." ”

"It's okay, they won't be able to make a big difference, you let Qin Hu focus on recruiting strong people, and don't do anything below the martial arts cultivation period. Xiao Yao said categorically.

After the two discussed, Ling Du said goodbye and left.

Evening.

Xiao Yao was cultivating in the secret room, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, he was startled, and hurriedly opened the door.

"Childe. ”

"Why are you so flustered?"

Seeing that it was a member of the Black Cross Gang, Xiao Yao asked.

"Just before the Assassin infiltrated the mansion. The member of the Black Ferry Gang said.

Frowning, Xiao Yao said in a deep voice, "How many people have come, and what is the current situation?"

"Two men in black came, and after killing a dozen of our members, they fled in a hurry. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao's eyes flashed with anger, it was really good to be bullied, Ma Shan was ridden, he retreated to his home, and still followed him, the only thing that he didn't know was who the assassin was, if it was an evil faction, it would be easy to say, but if Wu En sent it to spy on it, it would be a little troublesome.

"You go back first, I'll let Ling Du arrange the aftermath. ”

"Yes"

After the members of the Heidu Gang left, Xiao Yao discussed with Zhan Pengfei, so he left the underground palace and came to it.

Looking at Ling Fei'er's panicked expression, Xiao Yao comforted a few words, turned his head to look at Leng Ye, and said, "From now on, you stay above to take over Ling Fei'er's duties." ”

"Uh, me?"

The cold night is dumbfounded, and I am used to being alone, where will I do some messy trivial things, isn't it difficult for myself.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is money, and if you can't do it, you can use it to smash it. ”

Looking at the more than a dozen corpses in the field, Xiao Yao was really scared, and put Ling Fei'er on the bright side, once an accident happened, he would definitely regret it.

scolded secretly, Leng Ye's face was unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Yao's order.

"Uncle Lin. ”

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Please, go after the murderer. ”

"It seems like a bit of a challenge. ”

Lin Fei didn't dare to guarantee whether he could catch the murderer, after all, they had been running for a long time, and it was unknown which direction they would flee from.

"Judging from the traces of the fight, the two assassins are obviously not strong, you only need to block the official road to Starflower City one step in advance, if it is someone sent by Wu En, it won't be long before they will fall into the net. Xiao Yao said in a deep voice.

"Subordinates obey!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Fei did not procrastinate, his figure flashed and disappeared.

"The master suspects that Wu En instigated it?" Zhan Pengfei asked.

Nodding, Xiao Yao said lightly: "With the unscrupulous style of the six sects of the evil sect, if you want to start a war without sneaking around, you can kill it directly, so I conclude that it was Wu En's doing." ”

"It's this bastard doing something again, it's really unreasonable!" Zhan Pengfei said through gritted teeth.

"Whether it's or not, catch the murderer first, I want to see what he wants to do?" Xiao Yao said lightly.

......

Before dawn, Lin Fei grabbed a murderer and rushed back, as for the murderer was very cunning, Lin Fei was angry and killed him with an arrow.

in the dungeon.

"Ah......h

There were bursts of screams, and Xiao Yao's family and Ling Fei'er's family were so frightened that they trembled in the room, but they didn't dare to ask out loud.

"Still refusing to confess?"

Looking at the murderer who was covered in blood and dying on the ground, Xiao Yao frowned.

"This guy is very hard-boned, and the old slave has used a lot of tricks, but he still hasn't pried his mouth open. Zhan Pengfei said angrily.

Slowly squatting down, Xiao Yao said lightly: "I don't know what means Wu En used against you to make you so loyal, but I want to tell you that you are just an insignificant chess piece, and you will not get a trace of sympathy and mercy for your death." ”

"This ...... This is me...... I just want to die quickly!" the murderer said intermittently.

With a sneer, Xiao Yao said: "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, I have to give a satisfactory explanation to my dead brother." ”

"You...... What do you want?"

"I'll have your injuries healed in a moment, and then we'll start again until you confess, and in the meantime, don't fantasize about committing suicide, because I'm not going to give you any chance. ”

"You're not human!"

"Uncle Zhan, scrap his limbs, and then let him recuperate with peace of mind!"

Hearing this, the murderer's eyes were full of despair, this was an endless pain, obviously the two in front of him didn't treat him as a human being at all, or rather, they infiltrated the Xiao Mansion and completely angered them.

"Wait, I said, I said. ”

Seeing that the old man was about to abolish himself, the murderer finally relented and begged for mercy.

Sometimes, when extorting confessions from prisoners, blind torture will not necessarily destroy their willpower, and occasionally play some psychological tactics, which will make the prisoners mentally collapse in advance, obviously the murderer in front of him is this type.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yao learned from the murderer, it turned out that they were not specially sent by Wu En, but they belonged to an independent intelligence organization, since the establishment of the Xiao Mansion, this intelligence organization has been watching his every move, but he can't see himself and others recently, and he is puzzled, so he rashly acts to find out.
