Chapter 192: Harboring Evil Thoughts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying told Qiao Yang and the others to wait for her at the same spot before she followed Old Master Li through the border pa.s.s.
After going through the pa.s.s, Su Ying got out from under the carriage and climbed onto the carriage to sit with Old Master Li.
Perhaps it was because of the weather, but there were fewer people walking around inside the pa.s.s than before.
Su Ying observed the streets the entire journey, planning what she should buy back later. In reality, she had come today to buy in bulk all the livestock here, but she didn’t know how many there would be.
After traveling for about two hours, they arrived at the courtyard house where Zhang Liang had brought her to stay the last time.
After the carriage entered the courtyard, someone closed the door.
The carriage came to a complete stop and Old Master Li got down from the carriage. “This way, Madam Su.”
As soon as Su Ying got off the carriage, a group of men with swords surrounded her.
Old Master Li had already retreated behind those people. “She’s Su Ying. She’s the person you’re looking for.”
Those people glared at Su Ying with ravenous expressions.
“Those who take down Su Ying will be generously rewarded.”
Su Ying’s eyes darkened at once. She s.n.a.t.c.hed the long sword from the person near her and pierced his throat in one shot.
When they saw this, those people lunged at her.
Su Ying leaped over the heads of those people and landed in front of Old Master Li, who was trying to escape.
“Spare me, spare me. I… 1 didn’t do it on purpose…”
Su Ying ripped off his belt and tied his hands before securing him to the door bolt. Then, she turned around to deal with the people coming for her.
Su Ying swung the long sword in her hand and stabbed it into the chest of the frontmost person running toward her. When she pulled out the sword, warm blood splattered all over her face.
When they saw that they were no match for her, the other party signaled to the people beside him with his eye. “Go! Bring him out!”
“Yes, Sir.”
Someone turned around and ran into the house. Soon, he grabbed a person from the house and walked out.
“Su Ying, stop right now, or 1’11 kill him.”
Su Ying’s hands paused, and she raised her head, only to see the man holding a sword to Zhang Liang’s neck.
Su Ying gave a scornful sneer. “No way. You guys can’t seriously believe that I care about his life or death? 1 still owe him a few hundred taels of silver. If you kill him, it will be perfect since I won’t have to pay him this silver anymore.”
Those people exchanged glances with one another, not convinced that Su Ying was telling the truth.
“You expect us to believe your nonsense?”
Su Ying suddenly raised the sword in her hand and pierced through one of the men’s throat. Her stance showed that she truly didn’t care about Zhang Liang’s life or death.
Those people panicked when they saw Su Ying attacking without mercy again. “Capture her!”
Su Ying turned around and leaped onto the wall. Just as they thought she was going to escape, she suddenly whipped out her tranquilizer gun. She aimed it at the person holding Zhang Liang hostage and shot out the tranquilizer dart.
The man had been distracted by what was happening below. When he came back to his senses, the tranquilizer dart had already pierced his body. His body went limp and he fell to the ground.
Su Ying gave a scornful snort. “Go back to the house and lock the door!”
Zhang Liang’s hands were tied up, but his feet were free. He obeyed Su Ying’s order, turned around, and dashed back into the house before closing the door. He used his face to lift the bolt and locked the door from the inside.
After confirming that Zhang Liang was temporarily safe, Su Ying leaped down from the courtyard wall. Every strike from the steely sword in her hand was filled with a bloodthirsty sharpness. There was no chance for them to dodge at all.
By the time more than a dozen people had collapsed, blood had splattered everywhere in the courtyard.
Old Master Li was shaking like a leaf as he stared at Su Ying with a face full of terror. He had never seen such a terrifying woman before. He was frightened out of his wits, worried that he would end up like those people on the ground with their blood splattered all over the place.
“Ma… Madam Su, please spare my life. Madam Su, please spare my life. I… I had no choice. They… they threatened me. If… if 1 didn’t do this, they would kill me.
1 really didn’t do it on purpose. Madam Su, I’m begging you. Please spare me…” Old Master Li cried and begged for mercy, but Su Ying ignored him.
She walked to the two survivors and lifted one of them up from the ground with one hand.
She had already sliced through the tendons in his arms and legs, and he was already lying on the ground limply like a pile of mud, unable to move.
“Xiao Jue’s men?”
The man’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. Su Ying immediately flung him to the ground. “Guess I’m right.”
Su Ying couldn’t be bothered to ask any more questions, so she turned around and walked up to Old Master Li. Old Master Li’s legs trembled as he knelt down in front of Su Ying, but before he could do so, a yellow fluid flowed out of his lower body. He was so scared that he peed his pants.
Su Ying untied the rope on his hands and dragged him to the entrance of the house.
“Old Master Zhang, it’s fine now. Open the door.”
Zhang Liang heard Su Ying’s voice and stepped forward to unlock the door.
Su Ying dragged Old Master Li in. When she saw that Zhang Liang’s hands were still tied with rope, she took out a dagger and cut the rope.
Zhang Liang loosened his hands and knelt in front of Su Ying. “Thank you for saving me, Madam Su.”
Su Ying turned her body to the side and did not accept his gesture of grat.i.tude. “You were also threatened by those people because of me. There’s no need to thank me.”
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, “Madam Su, you don’t know. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d heard that the capital suddenly became cold, and the demand for charcoal increased. The price also increased several times, so he had evil thoughts and wanted to take the goods in my hands for himself. It’s just that he didn’t expect those people to come looking for me when he made a move on me. If not for those people, I might have died in his hands.”
So, whether it was indirectly or directly, Su Ying had saved him once again.
Su Ying didn’t expect that there would be so much going on behind the scene. “It’s good that you’re fine. You should think of a way to deal with these bodies. Don’t let anyone find out.”
“Don’t worry, Madam Su. I know what to do.”
Su Ying took out 300 taels of silver and placed them on the table. “This is the money to top up the outstanding balance for the grain. Keep it safe.”
“Madam Su, 1 can’t accept this. Just take that grain as my New Year gift to Madam Su. Consider it as my advance New Year greeting to you, Madam Su.”
Zhang Liang refused to accept the silver regardless of what she said, so Su Ying could only give up.
“I’ll leave this person to you. Deal with him as you please.” Su Ying glanced at Old Master Li.
“Thank you, Madam Su. Although 1 am leaving the border pa.s.s, if you have any matters in the future, you can still leave a message at the old place. The other party will send me a message.”
“Alright. If you can handle this place, 1’11 take my leave first.”
Zhang Liang had been active in the business world for many years. Although the current situation was a little tricky, he could still handle it, so he personally sent Su Ying off.
“Madam Su, see you again.”
“See you again.”
Zhang Liang found a trusted aide to escort Su Ying to the street before leaving.
It was noon, the warmest time of the day, and there were more people on the streets than when she first arrived.
As soon as Su Ying walked down the street, a trader recognized her. “Gosh, G.o.ddess of Wealth! Madam, are you here to buy something again? Our shop brought in a batch of high-quality rice and flour today. Would you like to go in and take a look?”
As soon as the trader finished speaking, the shopkeepers of the other shops swarmed over like bees returning to their hive.
Su Ying was instantly surrounded by them..
