Suian City. He Mansion annex.

"Master."

A figure pushed the door open.

"Who?"

He Jing asked.

"Sir, it's me."

This man was wearing a green robe and holding an oil lamp in his hand.

"Qi Baiyi from Hu Ma Gang is here, and he brought good news to the great master. He said: He has found the man."

He Jin was about to turn off the lights and go to bed when he heard this and immediately sat up from the bed.

His wrinkled eyes quickly narrowed into slits.

"Is it done?"

"Of course it's done."

The person holding the oil lamp was He Jin's confidant. This man smiled.

"Congratulations, sir. Once the eldest grandson of the eldest family dies, you will be the legitimate head of the He Family."

"Okay, okay."

He Jin said three words "good" in succession, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, and his eyebrows trembled several times on his face.

"By the way, where is the body?"

"Qi Baiyi said that he was worried that you would always be worried, so he brought the body with him."

He Jin's confidant smiled and said, "This man is also clever. His men packed He Ping's body in a large wooden box and transported it into the city pretending to be goods. No one noticed the problem in the box along the way."

"This Hu Ma Gang's Qi Baiyi has more successes than that Xie San."

He Jin stroked his beard and smiled.

"I asked that Xie San to find a chance for me to get rid of that person before. That Xie San was so naughty and refused to agree...Qi Baiyi, young people are young people, they are full of energy and can do things quickly."

"Then that ten thousand taels of silver reward that Qi Baiyi wants? We really want to give it--"

The confidant asked in a low voice.

He Jin closed his eyes slightly,

"He Family's money has been saved every penny. I'm not that He Ping kid who eats rice without knowing its price... Go and tell the worshipers in the house to light up their troops and ambush them near the living room, waiting for my order!"

He made a gesture of raising his hand and waving a knife, and He Jin's confidants immediately retreated in awe.

Qi Baiyi took his closest brothers and carried a large brown wooden box into the main entrance of the He Mansion's villa.

Passing through the screen wall facing the main entrance and entering this room, you will be greeted by the aura of jewels and jewels. The He Mansion courtyard is luxuriously decorated, with withered beams and painted pillars, and Zhu Zhu Ling Yun. It is so magnificent that the group of Hu Ma Gang bumpkins who live their lives licking blood from their swords are dumbfounded.

The leader Qi Baiyi also felt this in his heart.

"He Family made his fortune by selling rice. Within several generations, he accumulated tens of thousands of dollars. Just this village, with so much effort and effort, I don't know how much money it cost..."

Qi Baiyi also came from a poor family. His father was a pack horse runner. He took him to Mobei with a horse-selling caravan to make a living. As a result, he encountered a "green" horse thief.

Mobei There are several groups of horse thieves. Those who are quick with their horses and are good at running in single gangs only rob red goods, easily commit no crime, and do not hurt anyone;

The only exception is "Zhou Qing", who acts arrogantly. This guy is hated by gods and ghosts in Mobei. If he encounters him, he will crush the bones of a dead person and suck out the marrow. Qi Baiyi was able to survive because his father pinned him down, but other than him, including his parents, no one in the entire caravan survived.

Xie San may not be a good person, but he avenged Qi Baiyi's parents. Master Qi Bai wanted to repay his kindness, so he took over as Hu Ma Gang's gang leader after Xie San died.

His role as the leader of the gang was not going well. Xie San had a lot of grudges in his life. Once he and Chen Er died, Hu Ma Gang became a lost sight because of the grudges and business matters in the past. Qi Baiyi Although struggled to support, he still felt that he was weak... Apart from other things, he was not good at business matters. During this period of time, Hu Ma Gang was unable to make ends meet on the books and it was difficult to sustain.

When he came to the He Mansion's other courtyard this time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the luxury of the deep gate courtyard. At this moment, He Jin's confidant, the man in Tsing Yi, came into the living room.

"You are Qi Baiyi."

He Jin sat on a chair, changed into a brocade dress, and reached out to hold a cup of tea.

"By the way, where is the thing?"

"Mr. He, this is it."

Qi Baiyi ordered his men to put the box down, and opened the box at the same time. There was a dead body lying inside.

The corpse's face was pale, without a trace of blood. That face was indeed He Ping's face. He Jin could see it clearly through the light in the hall.

"Well done."

He Jin laughed with satisfaction. He stood up, took a sword from his confidant, pulled out the sword, moved his body, and stabbed the dead body lying in the box with the sword at a speed faster than lightning.

"Wait!"

Qi Baiyi was shocked and stunned. He did not expect that He Jin's sword skills were so fast. The opponent's sword skills had at least three to forty years of experience. I am afraid that the opponent's sword skills were not inferior to the Flying Fish Sect's Daoist Chi Ling.

(Damn... this He Family's He Jin is so deeply hidden and so skilled in swordsmanship, I really regret it in my life.)

As soon as Qi Baiyi put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his vision blurred, He Jin had already pierced He Ping's heart with the sword. The sword move was poisonous and spicy. In terms of its severity, it would not be an exaggeration to call him "Grandmaster".

"Whoosh!"

He Jin sheathed his sword and stabbed the corpse in the heart. He felt relieved knowing that it was indeed He Ping's corpse.

"Well done, Qi Baiyi, this He Ping is finally dead. You can say that you have made a great contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"

Qi Baiyi laughed when He Jin asked this question.

"Why should Mr. He ask questions knowingly? All I want is money... As an outsider, I won't ask any more questions about you He Family. Please give me the reward, Mr. He. My brother Hu Ma Gang and I will leave He Mansion immediately. I can guarantee that I won't reveal even a single word about what happened here."

"I trust Gang Leader Qi."

He Jin sat back on the chair.

"However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Except for the dead, there is no one who will not reveal your so-called 'secret'. I'm sorry, Gang Leader Qi. I will only ask you to go on your way."

He made a sign to his heart, and the "confidant" in Qingyi rang the bell in his hand. This bell was used to call the many guards hiding outside the living room. However, this "confidant" rang the bell several times, but no one came to the living room.

"This..."

The man in green's face changed slightly, and when the bell rang, it was a signal, and He Mansion's guards would rush in to silence him.

But now, he has been ringing for so long, but there is no sound outside the living room. Behind those rockeries and water, behind the shade of the garden trees, everything is silent. When the bell in his hand stops ringing, it is even quieter. Even the chirping of insects in the summer night can't be heard.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Qi Baiyi laughed loudly and pulled out his sword. Behind him there was a sound of gold and iron. The men also drew their sabers and pointed them at He Jin who was sitting on the chair.

"Mr. He, it's really difficult to do your business," his face suddenly changed, and he smiled sinisterly, "I'm so sorry, doing business with you is such a loss, I had no choice but to invest in another company."

"You..."

He Jin also noticed something strange, and stood up from the chair. As soon as he stood up, his face suddenly turned blue, his eyes widened, and his whole body froze in place, motionless, as if he had been cast by a immobilizing spell.

(--What kind of magic is this?)

He Jin's complexion suddenly changed, turning from pale to green quickly, and cold sweat trickled down his back. At this moment, his whole body could not move at all, as if he was possessed by a demon - it was not that he was unwilling to move, but that his body was surrounded by fine silk threads, which were invisible to the naked eye. They were wrapped around He Jin's body from all directions, fixing his entire body.

The Tsing Yi confidant standing next to He Jin also had the same livid face, and his body was covered with lead, making it difficult to move. He was frozen in place, holding a bell in his hand, and posing in an extremely funny posture.

Seeing the posture of his confidant, He Jin didn't feel the least bit funny. His heart was filled with bottomless fear.

"Master He Fang, why do you want to be my enemy, He Family?"

He Jin trembled his lips and was about to speak when he saw a figure in a richly attired dress in the corner, walking over slowly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes with all his strength, stretched his eyes wide, and stared at the figure in rich clothes. The man smiled sparsely and smoothed his long beard under his chin.

"He Jin, look at my outfit, does it look familiar?"

He Jin's eyes trembled as the man walked from the shadows into the light. This time he saw it clearly. The man's clothes and face were clearly exactly the same as his own. No, it was like another face in the mirror.

"You... who are you?"

He Jin asked subconsciously.

Standing on the other side, "He Jin", who looked the same as himself, grinned.

"Uncle, you are too stupid..."

This voice was unusually familiar. He Jin was startled. He recognized that it was He Ping's voice.

"Hey, He Ping, you're not dead."

"Of course I'm not dead."

He Ping, disguised as "He Jin", walked slowly over and stretched out his hand to strangle He Jin's throat.

"Uncle, you didn't have to die, but you and your stupid son shouldn't want to get involved in things that are not yours... After all, He Family's family fortune is not worth mentioning to me, even if it is given to you, who knows you idiots will be stupid enough to make plans for me and reincarnate in the next life. Remember to grow your brains and don't mess with people you don't dare to mess with."

"It was you who... killed...Xi Ping..."

He Jin's eyes were bulging, and his face was swollen a terrible purple color. He could not move his whole body. The fear of death seized his mind. It was not until his neck was broken that everything finally ended...

After killing He Jin, He Ping, who disguised himself as "He Jin" through a disguise, sat on a chair with a golden sword, and the "confidant" in Tsing Yi stood beside him tremblingly.

"Master He... those nursing homes were all dealt with by us, and the corpses hid behind them."

"Well done."

He Ping nodded.

"The things at He Jin's house are easy to deal with, but it will be more troublesome to enter Prefect Sheng's house next. You don't have to go, just stay on the periphery."

"Yes."

Qi Baiyi nodded, left two of his men behind, and left with a few others.

He Ping turned his head and looked at the man in green clothes standing aside.

"You should know what to do next, right?"

"Know, know."

The man nodded hurriedly.

"That's good."

He Ping smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were crooked on the old face after the disguise, revealing an ugly smile.

"Sign up the people in the house and get ready. Let's go to Prefect Sheng to give a big gift. I believe that after tonight, Prefect Sheng will still remember this big gift and will never forget it."
