Chapter 304 Outrageous (Part 1)
Taking advantage of the wind, Zhao Ya arrived outside the courtyard where he had been during the day, as if he was light and effortless.
There was no guard in the courtyard, and Zhao Ya fell on the roof like a snowflake.
The lights were on in the room, and voices could still be heard faintly.
Zhao Ya leaned down, put his ear to the roof tiles, and listened carefully.
really.
I heard Yang Bin's voice coming from inside.
"Well, I couldn't pay the rent again this year. I feel really bad about it."
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This is not what you wanted to cause. It is really beyond your ability. I believe that the heroes in Canglong Temple will not embarrass you because of this." Someone tried to persuade him.
"Having said that, I feel uneasy. With the support of everyone, I have been the housekeeper of Nandian Town, but I have been unable to pay rent for more than ten years. Outsiders only see our glory, but How many people know about the hardships behind the scenes?"
At the end of the speech, Yang Bin's tone was low and he was almost crying.
"Master, please stop saying that. Everyone is watching what you have done for Nandian Town over the years. No one can forget your good deeds."
"Well, if there was no one to take over, I would have resigned a long time ago." Yang Bin said helplessly.
Listening to the conversation in the room, the corners of Zhao Ya's mouth slightly raised, outlining a sneer.
If you don't know the truth, you will definitely be moved by Yang Bin's remarks and think that this is really a good man who works hard for the benefit of everyone.
But after the incident at Mijia Inn, Zhao Ya already knew the true face of Yang Bin.
This person is very cunning and a very evil person.
Despite this, Zhao Ya was still filled with admiration.
Because it is not difficult to deceive people. What is difficult is to always wear a mask to deceive people no matter when and where.
You must know that Zhao Ya has absolute confidence in his body and light skills, and on such a windy and snowy night, it is impossible for Yang Bin to notice his arrival.
Then there is only one explanation.
That's how Yang Bin behaves habitually even when no one is behind his back.
This is terrible.
Because it requires extremely deep scheming to do such a thing.
Zhao Ya listened for a while and found that the people inside could not talk about anything new. They probably just kept talking about the same words over and over again.
Although he knew that Yang Bin was acting, Zhao Ya did not go out to expose him.
Because Zhao Ya understood that since Yang Bin dared to be so confident, he must have been fully prepared.
Even if you go down by yourself, you won't be able to find any useful clues.
Although for Zhao Ya, killing this Yang Bin was easy.
But what Zhao Ya wants is not Yang Bin's life, but to uncover the shady story of Nandian Town and get the rent.
Only in this way can the situation be broken.
Although there was nothing gained, Zhao Ya was not discouraged. He even knew that this would be the result before he came.
After all, Yang Bin was able to deceive him for such a long time under the nose of Canglong Temple. Even if there was backstage support behind him, Yang Bin was by no means an easy person.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya had a thought and deliberately kicked the roof tiles, making a crisp sound before flying away.
At this time, Yang Bin and a subordinate were talking in the room.
When he heard the noise coming from the roof, the man's expression changed drastically, but he did not dare to stop talking. He could only wink at Yang Bin while reciting his lines.
That means there's someone on the roof.
Yang Bin knew this very well, but he did not panic at all. Instead, he sat there calmly and calmly, without even the slightest change in his tone of voice.
It wasn't until after a long time that there was no one on the roof that Yang Bin stopped, and then smiled silently out the window.
There was a hint of disdain in the smile.
He had long known that Zhao Ya who came during the day would never give up easily, so he deliberately made such a scene at night.
I believe that after hearing his tear-jerking words of "righteousness", this Zhao Ya should know how to choose between advancement and retreat.
If you want to fight me, you're still a little green.
Of course, Yang Bin said these words silently in his heart.
Not only did his face show no trace of it, he even pretended to have a look of compassion.
"Oh, with such heavy snow, I don't know how many poor and helpless people will suffer tonight." Yang Bin sighed.
His subordinate looked at him with a complicated expression.
Because even his subordinates sometimes couldn't tell whether Yang Bin was acting or not.
Zhao Ya didn't know this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
At this time, he was following the scent of the bait.
During the day at the Mijia Inn, he secretly planted a medicinal bait on Na Lianhao, which finally came in handy.
Soon, he came to a house located in the northwest corner of Nandian Town.
Compared with the courtyard where Yang Bin lives, this house is much more luxurious.
Although it cannot be called a beautifully decorated building, it is still an extremely rare mansion in this small Nandian town.
Not only that, through the courtyard wall, Zhao Ya could hear footsteps coming from inside and the wheezing of dogs from time to time.
Apparently, the house had a night watcher and a watchdog.
This is really a difficult problem for ordinary thieves.
Because people are easy to deal with, and it is easy to avoid them with the cover of night.
However, dogs' hearing and sense of smell are extremely sensitive, especially those that have been specially trained as watchdogs.
They will bark at the slightest movement.
But what was an extremely difficult problem for others was nothing to worry about in Zhao Ya's hands.
Zhao Ya casually crushed a poison bait, and then the smell spread into the courtyard with the wind.
This poisonous bait can completely inactivate the dog's sense of smell and put it into a state of extreme fear.
really.
After the smell of poisonous bait dissipated, even through the high courtyard wall, one could still hear the whimpering of the watchdogs inside out of extreme fear.
Then Zhao Ya flew up and sneaked into the house quietly like a ghost.
The house is not too big, only three entrances, but there are quite a few people watching at night.
They were basically the people who followed Lian Hao to Mijia Inn during the day.
For these people, Zhao Ya didn't even have to take the initiative to hide his figure. He could easily avoid them purely by relying on the spirit turtle hibernation technique.
Soon, Zhao Ya came to the courtyard at the back.
As soon as he landed on the roof tiles, Zhao Ya heard the faint sound of crying.
The cry was strange, neither a whimper nor a howl.
Instead, it was more like the cry of a wild animal after being injured.
Zhao Ya followed the sound to the room where the crying came from, and then heard a man's sinister laughter coming from inside.
"Cry, if you cry more miserably, I will like you deaf and mute fools to cry."
Along with the words, there was a sound of whipping, and then a painful groan was heard, and the crying became more tragic.
Zhao Ya frowned, put up the eaves, gently opened the window paper and looked inside.
In the room, he saw a thin and thin woman kneeling on the ground with her upper body naked, and her back was covered with dense whip marks. These whip marks were old and new, and they were piled up layer by layer, which was shocking.
Standing next to her was a one-armed man, holding a riding crop soaked in water. His face was red, smelling of alcohol, and his facial features were slightly moved due to excessive excitement.
It was the Lian Hao he had seen during the day.
Zhao Ya also recognized the woman kneeling on the ground.
Isn't this the little girl who served me tea at that time?
At that time, Yang Bin said that she had been deaf and mute since birth, so Zhao Ya had a deep impression on her.
I didn't expect that this little girl would be abused by this Lian Hao and become like this.
A ball of anger rose in Zhao Ya's eyes.
At the same time, Lian Hao seemed to be tired from the beating, so he threw away the whip, picked up a rag from the table, soaked it in salt water, and then walked over with a sinister smile.
"Master Hao, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you these whips. Come on, Master Hao, I'll wipe the blood on your back."
Looking at Lian Hao walking over, infinite fear appeared on the woman's face.
Try your best to step back.
"Damn, what a bitch, I beat you for so long and you still dare to hide?"
Lian Hao spit out thick phlegm when he saw this, and then reached out to pull the woman's hair.
The woman screamed in extreme terror, and the sound spread far and wide in the silent night.
The people patrolling in front couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this.
"Master Hao has fun again today."
"Tsk, tsk, this little bitch is really able to withstand beatings. She's been beaten for so long and she's not dead yet."
"To be honest, I also want to try what it's like to be a girl like this who can't speak. When Master Hao gets tired of playing with her, I want to beg her to have a try."
"Damn it, count me in when the time comes."
As these people talked, their words became more and more vulgar and obscene, and they would burst into triumphant laughter from time to time. They completely failed to notice that the usually arrogant and domineering watchdogs were all hiding in their dens and shivering.
At the same time, Lian Hao in the house was going to grab the woman's hair, but he missed it.
Not only that, he suddenly felt a light touch on his wrist, and then felt something fall.
When he lowered his head and looked down, Lian Hao discovered that his wrist was completely broken, his palm fell to the ground, and blood was constantly spurting out from the wound.
Lian Hao was stunned.
He even thought it was a hallucination caused by drinking too much.
But the severe pain that followed dispelled these doubts.
Lian Hao fell to his knees with a plop, his mouth opened wide, and he was about to scream.
At this moment, a sharp knife tip touched his forehead.
"Don't shout, if you dare to make a sound, your head will no longer be yours."
Lian Hao immediately shut his mouth.
Although one arm was beheaded, the pain in his heart and body were superimposed, making Lian Hao miserable.
But these are still nothing compared to his own life.
Lian Hao had no doubt about these words, because he could feel the awe-inspiring and almost substantial killing intent coming from the tip of the knife.
He repeatedly promised with a trembling voice, "I won't shout. I promise not to shout. Please don't kill me."
As he spoke, he raised his head tremblingly. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed almost as if he was flattering.
"This... this uncle, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything you want."
At this time, Zhao Ya was still in his disguised state, so Lian Hao did not recognize him.
Zhao Ya ignored him and instead turned to look at the shivering woman hiding in the corner.
Blood trickled down her back, staining the ground beneath her red.
But even so, the woman still didn't dare to shout or even cry. She just looked at Zhao Ya with blank eyes, as if she didn't understand what was happening in front of her.
Lian Hao also noticed Zhao Ya's gaze at this time, his heart moved, and he said quickly.
"Uncle, are you attracted to this mute girl? Then I will dedicate her to you now. Let me tell you, even though she is deaf and mute, she is obedient. She will do whatever you ask her to do. ."
"If that's the case, then why do you still hit her?" Zhao Ya turned around and said coldly.
Lian Hao was stunned for a moment, and then a sly look appeared on his face, "Isn't this just a way to relieve boredom? Moreover, playing more games when there is nothing to do can also prevent her from having a disobedient heart."
Zhao Ya was so angry that he flipped his wrist and the sword flashed suddenly.
Lian Hao screamed in fright and thought he was dead.
But soon he found that he was safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that Zhao Ya just used the tip of the knife to pick up the clothes on the ground and threw them towards the mute girl in the corner.
The mute woman looked confused.
Zhao Ya gestured for her to put on her clothes first.
Otherwise it would be really indecent to be topless like this.
Although the woman is deaf and mute, she is a girl after all, so she still has a sense of shame.
She put on her top tremblingly, her expression finally calming down a little.
Then Zhao Ya looked at Lian Hao again.
"Are you Yang Bin's subordinate?"
Lian Hao, who was originally thinking about how to escape, trembled slightly after hearing Zhao Ya's words.
He finally understood that the man in front of him was not here for money and sex.
But what does he want to do with Yang Bin?
Lian Hao was frightened and could only stammer: "Yes...yes."
Then he remembered something again, "But I'm just following orders. Uncle, if you have a grudge against Yang Bin, just go to him directly. It has nothing to do with me."
Lian Hao picked himself clean first.
Zhao Ya naturally understood that a guy like Lian Hao would not tell the truth without seeing blood.
So I didn't talk nonsense to him, just raised my hand and stabbed him.
This knife directly cut off Lian Hao's remaining ear.
Lian Hao screamed in pain, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Stop talking nonsense, now let me ask you an answer. If you dare to say one more word, your body will randomly lose a part. Do you understand?" Zhao Ya said coldly.
Lian Hao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and nodded tremblingly.
"Where is your Nandian Town's real ledger?"
The first question hits home.
Zhao Ya knew very well that since Yang Bin wanted to conceal Nandian Town's income, he would inevitably make false accounts.
So Zhao Ya didn't even mention looking at the account book during the day.
Because if you look at it, it will be in vain, so it must be fake.
Only by finding the true account book can the shady story of Nandian Town be unraveled.
as expected.
Lian Hao's expression changed when he heard this.
He finally understood that this person was not here for money, women, or even for revenge.
This is obviously to investigate Nandian Town.
Coupled with the sudden arrival of someone from Canglong Temple during the day, Lian Hao suddenly woke up, but his face turned pale with fright.
"I...I don't know."
"Huh?" Zhao Ya raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to raise his knife.
Lian Hao explained hurriedly: "What I said is true, but Yang Bin doesn't trust anyone. All the account books are kept by him personally. How can I know?"
Looking at the frightened Lian Hao, Zhao Ya knew that he probably wasn't lying.
Because it is really impossible for people like Yang Bin to trust others.
"Then what is the real situation in your Nandian town?"
"You...which aspect are you asking about?" Lian Hao said cautiously.
Zhao Ya raised his hand and pointed at the mute woman in the corner, "Just like these disabled people."
