Chapter 372
White Lotus Shows Abuse
A middle-aged man with a smile on his face came out of the Gaoji Silk Shop in Suzhou City. He had just negotiated a business with the boss here and plated the store, along with the goods and people inside. This slightly rich middle-aged man was Wang Junqing who persuaded Tang Feng in Shandong that day, and eventually betrayed the White Lotus Sect and helped the government. Now, with the help of Tang Feng, he has successfully settled his home in a paradise on earth like Suzhou. Although his name has been changed to the very vulgar Wang Changgui, his life is better than when he was in Shandong.
Wang Junqing was originally worried that he would encounter any trouble when he came to Suzhou, but obviously he underestimated the skills of Tang Feng and Jinyiwei. In the past few months, he has not only not been troubled by any local government office, but has successfully become one of the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou because he has a lot of silver in his hand. Now he has set up a large silk shop like Gaoji, and his life will be better in the future.
Although Emperor Taizu issued strict orders that merchants should not be allowed to wear silk or children should not be allowed to enter politics during the reign of Emperor Taizu, these two rules have long been broken after a hundred years. Especially in a region like Suzhou with extremely developed silk weaving industry, it is unimaginable that those wealthy merchants with countless weavers would not wear the luxurious and gentle silk clothes, and the government had already turned a blind eye to this. Therefore, the silk business in Suzhou City is very prosperous now. Wang Changgui believes that it will not take long to lay a solid foundation for his descendants.
"It seems that my choice is correct. I should indeed cooperate with the government. Otherwise, I will live a worried life in Jinan City. I don't know when I will be captured by the government! It's different now. No one in Suzhou City knows my identity. Everyone will only call me Manager Wang. I don't have to worry about anything anymore." Wang Changgui thought proudly and walked towards the house he bought, and felt that his previous decision was so wise: "Now Xiaoyan is pregnant with my son again. Suzhou is really a blessing in my life. I will spend my life here."
But the happy Wang Changgui did not notice that more than ten feet away from him, several pairs of cold eyes were staring at him, like a hunter staring at his prey in the wild. One of them said in a hoarse voice: "This person is the target of our leader and the second young master. I have figured out everything in his family and can do it tonight!"
"Hmph, such a person who seeks wealth by betraying his brothers of the Holy Sect is not a pity to die! I heard that he has changed his name to Wang Changgui now. If such a person can be Changgui, Wusheng's mother would be so angry that she would kill him!" Another tall and thin man said coldly. Several people watched Wang Changgui enter his own door before they dispersed. It would not be too late to take action until the night.
It was late at night, and the Wang family's courtyard was already quiet. Suzhou City was better than Jinan City, so they did not arrange any guards and guards in their homes. Except for a few big dogs who were watching the night and an updater, the entire Wang family fell asleep. At this moment, several agile figures appeared under the Wang family's not high wall. The people jumped into the yard with a slight sound, and no other sound was made except for the light sound when their feet landed on the ground.
These people have been observing the Wang family for a day or two, and they have become very clear about the arrangement of his house. After the landing, several figures scattered. Some went to the servant's residence, some went to the back house, and one of the tall figures came straight to the residence of Wang Changgui and his wife. Just as he approached the owner's courtyard, a dog barking came out, but the big dogs smelled the breath of outsiders and warned him.
"Who is there?" Hearing the barking of the dog, the updater who had just walked over immediately became alert and shone the lantern in his hand. What caught his eye was a wolf dog covered in blood and was cut off. "Ah--" The updater's call stopped as soon as he started, because a knife still dripping with blood pierced into his heart from the dark, and he immediately died.
"What happened?" Wang Changgui, who was suddenly shocked, asked loudly when he heard the sound. Although he was asking, he did not come out. Instead, he took out his protective knife from the edge of the bed and stared at the door tightly. He had learned martial arts for several days before, and although he was not very good at this, he finally had a kind of self-protection.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and he broke in with the still cold wind. Seeing someone suddenly breaking into his bedroom in the middle of the night, Xiaoyan, who was hiding on the bed, shivered and screamed loudly. Her voice was soon stopped by Wang Changgui. He forced a smile and said, "A good man is to make money? As long as you are willing to spare our lives, you can take whatever things in my house."
"Wang Junqing, do you still remember this?" The tall and thin man shook his hands and threw out a wooden sign with a lifelike white lotus engraved on it. Wang Changgui heard this title that was almost forgotten by him, and saw the white lotus color that he had seen several times in a nightmare, and he was suddenly panicked and could not speak for a moment.
The tall and thin man saw his appearance and just sneered, then said, "Do you think your property can be exchanged for the life of a traitor who betrayed the Holy Church? Can it be exchanged for the lives of so many brothers who are loyal to this religion? Didn't your property be exchanged for the lives of countless brothers in the Holy Church?"
"You... are you from the White Lotus Sect?" Wang Changgui looked at the black shadow in front of him in horror and finally spoke. In fact, he wanted to deny that he was Wang Junqing, but after being frightened, he unconsciously asked such a sentence, which turned out to be the fact that he admitted that he was Wang Junqing and a traitor to the White Lotus Sect.
"Since you have vowed to be loyal to our religion for life, why do you still betray the Holy Church?" The man said in deep pain: "You should know that no one who betrays this religion will end up well."
"I... I was forced too! The government captured all my family and found evidence that we were White Lotus Sect members. If we don't confess, we are afraid that our whole family will suffer. Please spare us because we were all friends of White Lotus Sect members!" Wang Changgui said tremblingly.
"It's too late. From the day you betrayed the Holy Sect, you should have known that this would happen! And now everyone in your family should have been almost killed!" As the man spoke, there were waves of screams outside, which were the voices of other people in the Wang family when they were killed. "It seems that your concubine has added another son to you, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong child!" After a relaxed smile, the man looked at Xiao Yan, who was trembling on the bed and was already showing off.
"You are not human!" Wang Changgui let out a desperate roar. He knew that his family was no longer immune, and even his unborn child... Thinking of the unborn child, Wang Changgui suddenly developed the courage, raised the knife in his hand and slashed it at the man, but soon, he knew what real despair was. When he came to the man, he found that his target disappeared after the other party sneered, and it was obvious that the other party's martial arts were far above him.
But at this time, Wang Changgui was no longer afraid. After a loud roar, he rushed to the place where he heard the sound, but the knife was still empty. The man didn't seem to want to kill Wang Changgui at once, but he was using his superior light body skills to avoid Wang Changgui's attack, which was like a crazy sword, and he let out two sneers from time to time.
In this way, after dozens of cuts, Wang Changgui finally collapsed to the ground with exhaustion. At this time, several other men in black also walked into the room. The weapons in their hands were still dripping with blood. The tall and thin man suddenly took action when he saw them coming. But he did not attack Wang Changgui, who was already unable to resist, but stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yan, who had already fainted from fear, to the ground. Amid the woman's sharp screams, the tall and thin man cut open Xiao Yan's chest and abdomen without even frowning... Seeing this scene, blood was already flowing out of his eyes, but he was already exhausted, except for a heart-wrenching scream.
I couldn't do anything anymore... At dawn, someone found a strong smell of blood from the Wang family and reported it to Suzhou Prefecture. When the government sent someone to check it out, the yamen runners who were used to the murder were also shocked by the bloody side in front of him. The 18 people below Wang Changgui, the leader of the Wang family, were killed by others, and many of them were killed by a knife on the bed. Wang Changgui, his wife and two daughters died terrible. The two daughters were cut off their heads, and there were signs of being raped before their death. His concubine was cut open with her belly, and a two-month-old fetus was thrown aside. Wang Changgui himself was even more dead and was cut into several pieces!
Such a vicious case made the local government in Suzhou extremely angry, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find any clues. Except for knowing that several outsiders had stayed outside the Wang family in the past two days, there were no other clues that could help arrest the murderer.
Almost at the same time as the Wang Family Massacre in Suzhou, the same case also occurred in Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Jiaxing. The wealthy businessman who took root here not long after the three households were destroyed, and all died in an extremely miserable manner.
When the local government was helpless about this, the troops of the Jinyiwei from several places were also taking action. They sent this related family-killing case to Beijing through their own channels...
