"Very well, tell me, who ordered you to kill the Chen family members?"
Chen Fan nodded slightly and was very satisfied with Liu Ye's attitude. He likes people who kneel down to answer questions and have higher credibility.
"It was Qingxi County Lieutenant Li Sui. He found us. It was he who arranged for us to settle in Qingxi Mountain. It was also he who sent us the letter to make us prepare in advance when the government came to encircle and suppress troops..."
Liu Ye knelt and trembled and said everything in one breath.
"Li Sui?"
Chen Fan frowned. He had Yangzhou Magistrate Meng Jiang as his backer, so how dare a small Qingxi County captain dare to seize food from a tiger's mouth? There must be someone behind this.
"Where are the people who kidnapped my Chen family? Where are they now?"
Now that he is here, Chen Fan wants to take people back. After all, the perfume business still needs people to manage it.
"People...people are dead..."
Liu Ye was extremely frightened physically and mentally.
"died?"
Chen Fan suddenly felt bad.
"Li Sui confessed that he wanted us to torture him out of the perfume formula, but he refused to tell us... he accidentally used too much force..."
Liu Ye swallowed nervously and told what happened, hoping that Chen Fan would let him go because he was "sensible".
It's a bit unfair to die, Chen Zheng really didn't know the formula.
Now that the questions are over, there is no need to stay with the person in front of him. Under Liu Ye's unwilling gaze, Chen Fan flashed a cold light, and blood instantly nourished the earth.
As for the gangsters in the cottage, Chen Fan would kill them with one knife when he encountered them, and he did not pursue them if they escaped. That was something that the government should worry about, and Chen Fan had no such leisure.
Chen Fan adheres to the tradition of Jianghu, killing people and touching corpses, destroying strongholds to get wealth...
As a result, after rummaging through the entire cottage, they only found more than a thousand taels of silver. There was not a single piece of martial arts secret book, and other food and supplies were useless to Chen Fan. It was a waste of time...
At the end of the night, Chen Fan arrived at the county seat of Qingxi County and successfully found the sleeping county lieutenant Li Sui.
He slapped the opponent awake with the scabbard.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? I am Li Sui, the county captain of Qingxi County. You broke into the government office in the middle of the night and kidnapped government officials. What do you want to do? Rebellion? Leave quickly or I will ask someone to arrest you."
Li Sui shouted to Chen Fan without any fear of righteousness.
Oops, if Chen Fan hadn't known who he was from Liu Ye, he might have been swayed by his words.
However, Chen Fan was not interested in trying to reason with him, so he first took out his single knife and slowly inserted it into his chest.
His chest was instantly stained with blood, and Li Sui immediately changed his face and showed fear.
Although it seemed serious, Chen Fan controlled the intensity and just penetrated the skin. "I don't have time to watch your performance. Who instructed you to contact the Qingxi bandits to deal with the Chen family?"
"Chen family?"
A trace of doubt flashed through the depths of Li Sui's eyes, as if Liu Bao had not expected that an ordinary merchant would send someone to come to his door. However, the pain in his chest reminded him that now was not the time to think about this, so he quickly begged for mercy;
"My hero, what are you talking about? I don't know. I'm just a small county captain. What about the Chen family or the Qingxi Bandits? My hero, have you found the wrong person? Let me go. I'll go up. Both the old and the young cannot die!"
Li Sui's face changed faster than turning the page in a book. Before, she had always looked upright and not afraid of weapons, but now she saw Chen Fanzhen taking action and immediately begged for mercy. He just didn't reveal anything about the Chen family.
Hearing this, Chen Fan's knife penetrated an inch again. Li Sui, who was so painful, quickly grabbed the blade of the knife with both hands, hoping to stop it from continuing to penetrate.
"Since I'm here to come to you, it means that I know what you've done. If you say any more nonsense, you can just go take care of your children in the underworld."
"Hero, stop, stop, I said...I said...it was Mr. Liu, my colleague Mr. Liu Qingliu ordered me to do it, a few days ago..."
Li Sui was much more honest this time, or he didn't dare to bet on whether Chen Fan would actually kill him.
People are like swordsmen and fish, but Li Sui doesn't want to die.
"You know Liu Qing from Yangzhou? Ha, that's interesting."
Chen Fan recalled the scene a few days ago in the government office when the other party first said that there were no gangsters near the incident site. Later, if Yan Xiang, the interrogator, and Liu Min, the chief catcher, might have been fooled by him.
Of course, the most important thing is that this group of lawless bandits first massacred the village and exposed their traces.
"Yes, yes, hero, all of this was planned by Mr. Liu. He wanted to use the perfume formula to make friends with the court officials and go further. I am just a small official who obeys orders. I can't help myself, so just let me go. "
"You can't help yourself? You can't help but accept and contact the bandits? You can't help but help the bandits who kill, kidnap, and massacre villages to communicate the deployment of officers and soldiers for encirclement and suppression?" Chen Fan said sarcastically.
"We just wanted to get the formula of Chen's perfume, and we didn't expect them to be so bold as to do this, but everything was done, I..."
Speaking of this, Li Sui is still a little aggrieved. The bandits he brought slaughtered the mountain villages under his jurisdiction and ruined his political achievements. In the end, he just picked up a stone and smashed himself in the foot, and had to swallow the pain to help these group of people. The aftermath of the lawless bandits....
"Hero, if you know that I have made everything clear, just let me go. I..."
"Let you go?" Chen Fan showed a meaningful smile.
Chen Fan's eyes turned cold and he exerted a little force on his right hand. There was a sound of blood and flesh piercing, and the sword pierced Li Sui's chest with a single blade.
"You...you killed me..." Li Sui couldn't believe it until his death. The other party really dared to kill him. He was an official of the imperial court. Wasn't he afraid of being wanted by the government?
"I'm so angry if I let you go!" Chen Fan pulled out a single knife and wiped the blood on the clothes of Li Sui's corpse and said slowly.
....
After dealing with Li Sui, Chen Fan rushed to Yangzhou City overnight. He would not let go of anyone who wanted to plot against him.
In the past, he was against the dark side, but now, he is on the dark side.
He had to deal with Liu Qing before he got the news, otherwise it would not be that simple if he wanted to kill him again after he became alert.
Working hard, Chen Fan returned to Yangzhou City just before dawn at Mao Shi.
Chen Fan didn't waste a moment and attacked Liu Qing's mansion first.
Liu Mansion is very large, a compound with seven entrances. Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions...
Chen Fan used Qingqing Qinggong to quickly check Liu Qing's bedroom in the backyard.
Suddenly, a cold and fierce Qi appeared quickly beside Chen Fan.
Without looking back, Chen Fan drew his sword out of its sheath and struck back with a whirlwind.
"clang!"
A sound of gold and iron sounded.
A cold and cold energy was introduced into the body from the knife. Chen Fan immediately retreated quickly and then used the Shenzhao Meridian to expel the discomfort in the body.
"Hey, boy, you are quite strong at a young age." The other party seemed surprised that Chen Fan's vigilance could evade his sneak attack.
"Monk?"
Chen Fan looked at the middle-aged monk standing on the wall of the courtyard, holding a sword against his bald head and wearing monk's robes.
He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there was a powerful monk sitting in Liu Qing's house.
"Boy, what's your motive for sneaking into Lord Liu's house?"
