Chapter 1331: Dark and Windy Night of Murder
Wanqi Feng rushed to Liu County to join the group, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and reported as soon as he arrived:
"My Lord, these are the optional targets for the next operation, and I have selected three." He pulled out one of them, "Do you think we should go to Green Cloud Villa first?"
"What's so special about this..." Dong Rui also came over. Wanqi Feng rarely made such suggestions to He Lingchuan. Those who can enter this list are all unforgivable players. What is this beast capable of that makes Wanqi Feng want to kill it first?
Dong Rui only took a look and said "Oh", and understood.
The primary target that Wanqi Feng solemnly recommended was "Green Villa".
This villa was owned by the Wu Ma family, and the owner was named Wu Ma Dan. Wanqi Feng suggested that He Lingchuan should execute his second son Wu Ma Xu first. His crime was not as numerous as other targets, and it could be summed up in four words:
"Cruel to young children."
"It's so disgusting." He Lingchuan made a decision after seeing it, "Let him cut in line and go to Jiuyou first."
According to his request, Wanqi Feng's information was relatively complete, and the background of Green Villa was also investigated.
Wumadan's father was a well-known military general. Although he died early, it did not prevent Wuma from continuing to be a local tyrant. It mainly engaged in the timber business, and later gradually involved in other businesses. As long as it was a profitable business, it would have a share.
From the county town to the several towns and villages below, government offices repaired halls, wealthy merchants built houses, coffin shops made coffins, and rivers and lakes built piers and docks. They all had to purchase timber from Wuma, known as the "wood tyrant".
Even the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wanted to lease an abandoned farm nearby and convert it into a branch, but was told that at least 30% of the timber must be purchased from Wuma Wood Shop.
At this point, Wuma was no longer among the ordinary wealthy merchants. Even when the local government strictly enforced taxes, they could not find any traces of his family.
After making a fortune, Wu Ma built Green Villa magnificently and even the royal family stayed there when they toured the area.
But Wu Ma Dan had a troublesome son.
The second son, Wu Ma Xu, had been rolling around in the world of cosmetics since he was a child. He had no interest in concubines and maids, but only loved girls under the age of gold hairpins, saying that such girls were pure and flawless.
Love and affection led to trouble.
Wu Ma Xu initially injured several girls, and his family paid to settle the matter; so he had no scruples and began to kill people.
The Wu Ma family's approach was very direct, which was to pay money to keep silent.
Poor families often sold their children at the pawnbroker, and the compensation received by the families of these girls was usually much higher than theirs, so they did not make a fuss.
But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
But there was a family that refused to agree, no matter how much money Wu Ma gave, they would not reconcile. After encountering setbacks in the local area, the girl's brother still had to appeal to higher authorities.
Every time he appealed, Wu Mashi broke one of his legs. As a result, this man was also stubborn. Even though both of his hands were broken, he still asked someone to write a petition, insisting on seeking justice for his sister.
Since soft tactics didn't work, Wu Mashi had to resort to hard tactics and directly wiped out the family of five from the town.
The matter became a big deal in a short time, and the local government had to issue a case notice, saying that the family owed too much debt, so the creditors wanted to kill them. As for the murderer, they couldn't catch him after a long investigation.
The local residents didn't believe it at all, but the victims of this case were gone, and no one dared to appeal.
After more than three months, the storm slowly subsided.
After this lesson, Wu Maxu still refused to change his ways and was ready to make a move. Wu Mashi had no choice but to ask people to buy little girls from other places and send them to Green Villa for Wu Maxu to enjoy, which reduced the trouble at the source.
Over the past two years, how many young girls have been sold into that devil's den and never come out? Outsiders have no way of knowing.
"We asked the townspeople, they still remember the murder of a family of five, and mentioned many evil deeds of the Wu Ma family. This so-called "prominent family" is really all-powerful in the local area, even killing people to silence them is a trivial matter. Ordinary people who suffer at their hands can only think that they are unlucky."
Wanqi Feng continued: "We also kidnapped three people from Green Villa, one of whom was Wu Ma Xu's attendant, and two of whom had been servants in Green Villa for many years. The content of their confession is basically consistent with the information, and they can also supplement Wu Ma Xu. The details of the years of harassing girls. "
"Is it true?"
"It is true! And according to what they said, the main force was taken to the east by Wu Madan's eldest son Wu Mayang to receive the goods in the past two days. There are only about 200 people left in the manor. After deducting the maids, cooks, servants, etc., there are no more than 100 strong men guarding the manor, and patrolling the manor is stretched. This situation will only last for two days. When everyone comes back, it will not be the same. "
One hundred strong men, this kind of guard force is useless to the Black Armor Army.
"Wu Ma Xu is in the manor?" Don't rush forward with excitement, but end up with nothing.
"Yes."
He Lingchuan looked up at the sky.
"Tonight is dark and windy, it's a good day to kill people."
...
The wind is rising.
The Black Armor Army sneaked into the night with the wind and killed people silently.
It was easy for the well-trained Yangshan soldiers to kill the outer sentries and break into the gate of Green Villa.
"Okay, get on your horses and show your identity. Anyone who stands in your way will be killed without mercy!"
At He Lingchuan's command, the black-armored soldiers mounted their horses and rushed in along the main road.
The men in the village realized that the enemy had invaded, and they whistled and picked up weapons to stop them.
The black-armored soldiers stabbed one by one with their swords and guns, enjoying themselves.
They headed straight to the southeast of the villa. According to Wanqi Feng's tip, the courtyard of the second young master Wu Ma Xu was in the southeast.
This way, of course, they were invincible.
He Lingchuan rode his horse while looking to the north.
To the north was the residence of the villa owner Wu Ma Dan. After the Black Armor Army's commotion, the place was already brightly lit.
Apparently Wu Ma Dan had been awakened and was gathering his forces.
He Lingchuan didn't care. There were only a hundred thugs in the villa at most, and Wu Ma Dan was not a threat at all.
His current target was Wu Ma Xu.
The Black Armor Army also captured a few people along the way and asked about the specific location of the second young master.
"This villa is really big." Wanqi Liang said bitterly, "Killing people and setting fires will get you a golden belt, but good people don't have a good life."
Wanqi Feng glanced at him: "Otherwise, what's the use of you and me?"
Amid the sound of horse hooves, everyone rushed to the southeast courtyard.
He Lingchuan did not dismount, and with a thrust of his Tenglong spear, the bolt behind the door broke, and the horse knocked the wooden door open.
A quiet garden, a pitch-black courtyard.
He Lingchuan frowned.
The Black Armored Army rushed in with such a big noise, how could the people in the courtyard not notice it and still sleep soundly?
"Search!"
There were three or four buildings in the courtyard, two or three stories high, and it would be fastest if everyone searched separately.
He Lingchuan chose the most imposing building, which was undoubtedly Wu Ma Xu's bedroom.
However, he turned around quickly inside and found no one.
He Lingchuan's first thought:
Could this be a trap?
No. The Black Armored Army had only appeared for a short time, and the pattern should not have been figured out by those who were interested; besides, his choice of Wu Ma Xu as a target was itself very random.
Who could have predicted that he would appear here?
Or was it because Wanqi Feng's intelligence was wrong, and Wu Ma Xu did not stay at Green Villa or this courtyard tonight?
Before he could finish thinking, Wanqi Liang's voice came from outside, just two short words:
"Garden!"
There is something wrong with the garden.
A few breaths later, all the black-armored knights gathered in the garden.
Wanqi Liang held a fluorescent spore in his hand, and four corpses were lying on the ground.
"Is the target here?"
Wanqi Feng immediately said: "I'll go catch someone to identify!"
He ran out of the yard quickly, and in less than thirty breaths, he came back with a living person.
This was a gardener who lived nearby. He heard the noise here and couldn't help but come out to check, but was caught by Wanqi Feng.
Before he could beg for mercy, the knife was already on his neck.
"Do you recognize these people on the ground..."
Before he finished asking, the gardener had already lost his voice and said: "Second Young Master!"
"Which one?" Wanqi Feng pushed him to the ground and asked him to identify, "Which one is the Second Young Master?"
In fact, everyone knew it as soon as the gardener shouted.
Probably the fattest one, the one with the best fabric.
"He, he is!" The gardener pointed at the fat man on the ground, and was so surprised that his voice broke. "He is the second young master Wu Ma Xu!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes!" The gardener nodded like pounding garlic, "I go into this garden every three days to take care of the flowers and plants, and I have seen the second young master countless times!"
The second young master lay straight on the ground, and the gardener's eyes kept glancing at the black-armored leader.
Where did these weirdos come from? In this land, someone dared to attack the Wu Ma family?
"When was the last time you saw the second young master?"
"Although I didn't see the second young master today, I saw the personal servant go to the small kitchen to get him food. It was already two quarters past the normal meal time, and the second young master got up late."
"What else?" Wanqi Feng saw his eyes flickering, and he had more to say.
The gardener swallowed his saliva: "In fact, last night, last night I heard a noise coming from this yard."
"What noise?"
The gardener said timidly: "The second young master has a new toy. I heard it was a little girl from another place. He tossed it all night and there was no movement until dawn."
Wu Ma Xu harmed people again last night? Everyone looked at each other and felt that this guy really had a way to die. Wan Qiliang kicked Wu Ma Xu's body hard.
"Where is the girl?"
"No, I don't know."
Wan Qifeng asked again: "Have you seen her?"
"No, no!"
"Does anyone know her whereabouts?"
"These few." The gardener pointed to the other dead people on the ground, "These are all people around the second young master, but they have, have..."
He couldn't open his mouth anymore.
But people would definitely not be satisfied with this answer, and the gardener felt that his life was in danger.
Facing the strong pressure of the black-armored knight, his reaction speed jumped several levels, and another light flashed in his mind: "By the way, you can ask Butler Zou!"
