Chapter 304 Outrageous (Part 1)
Taking advantage of the wind, Zhao Ya arrived outside the courtyard where he had been during the day, as if he was light and effortless.
There was no guard in the courtyard, and Zhao Ya fell on the roof like a snowflake.
The lights were on in the room, and voices could still be heard faintly.
Zhao Ya leaned down, put his ear to the roof tiles, and listened carefully.
really.
I heard Yang Bin's voice coming from inside.
"Well, I couldn't pay the rent again this year. I feel really bad about it."
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This is not what you wanted to cause. It is really beyond your ability. I believe that the heroes in Canglong Temple will not embarrass you because of this." Someone advised.
"Having said that, I feel uneasy. With the support of everyone, I have been the housekeeper of Nandian Town, but I have been unable to pay rent for more than ten years. Outsiders only see our glory, but How many people know about the hardships behind the scenes?”
At the end of the speech, Yang Bin's tone was low and he was almost crying.
"Master, please stop saying that. Everyone is watching what you have done for Nandian Town over the years. No one can forget your good deeds."
"Well, if there was no one to take over, I would have resigned a long time ago." Yang Bin said helplessly.
Listening to the conversation in the room, the corners of Zhao Ya's mouth slightly raised, outlining a sneer.
If you don't know the truth, you will definitely be moved by Yang Bin's remarks and think that this is really a good man who works hard for the benefit of everyone.
But after what happened at Mijia Inn, Zhao Ya already knew the true face of Yang Bin.
This man is cunning and scheming, and he is a very evil person who hides deeply.
Despite this, Zhao Ya was still filled with admiration.
Because it is not difficult to deceive people. What is difficult is to always wear a mask to deceive people no matter when and where.
You must know that Zhao Ya has absolute confidence in his body and light skills, and on such a windy and snowy night, it is impossible for Yang Bin to notice his arrival.
Then there is only one explanation.
That's how Yang Bin behaves habitually even when no one is behind his back.
This is terrible.
Because it requires extremely deep thinking to do such a thing.
Zhao Ya listened for a while and found that the people inside couldn't talk about anything new. They probably just kept talking about the same words over and over again.
Although he knew that Yang Bin was acting, Zhao Ya did not go out to expose him.
Because Zhao Ya understood that since Yang Bin dared to be so confident, he must have been fully prepared.
Even if you go down by yourself, you won't be able to find any useful clues.
Although for Zhao Ya, killing this Yang Bin was easy.
But what Zhao Ya wants is not Yang Bin's life, but to uncover the shady story of Nandian Town and get the rent.
Only in this way can the situation be broken.
Although there was nothing gained, Zhao Ya was not discouraged. He even knew that this would be the result before he came.
After all, Yang Bin was able to deceive him for such a long time under the eyes of Canglong Temple. Even if there was backstage support behind him, Yang Bin was by no means an easy person.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya had a thought and deliberately kicked the roof tiles, making a crisp sound before flying away.
At this time, Yang Bin and a subordinate were talking in the room.
When he heard the noise coming from the roof, the man's expression changed drastically, but he did not dare to stop talking. He could only wink at Yang Bin while reciting his lines.
That means there's someone on the roof.
Yang Bin knew this very well, but he did not panic at all. Instead, he sat there calmly and calmly, without even the slightest change in his tone of voice.
It wasn't until after a long time that there was no one on the roof that Yang Bin stopped, and then smiled silently out the window.
There was a hint of disdain in the smile.
He had long known that Zhao Ya who came during the day would never give up easily, so he deliberately made such a scene at night.
I believe that after hearing his tear-jerking words of "righteousness", this Zhao Ya should know how to choose between advancement and retreat.
If you want to fight with me, you are still a little green.
Of course, Yang Bin said these words silently in his heart.
Not only did his face show no trace of it, he even pretended to have a look of compassion.
"Oh, with such heavy snow, I don't know how many poor and helpless people will suffer tonight." Yang Bin sighed.
His subordinate looked at him with a complicated expression.
Because even his subordinates sometimes couldn't tell whether Yang Bin was acting or not.
Zhao Ya didn't know this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
At this time, he was following the scent of the bait.
During the day at the Mijia Inn, he secretly planted a medicinal bait on Na Lianhao, and it finally came in handy.
Soon, he came to a house located in the northwest corner of Nandian Town.
Compared with the courtyard where Yang Bin lives, this house is much more luxurious.
Although it cannot be called a magnificent mansion, it is still an extremely rare mansion in this small Nandian town.
Not only that, through the courtyard wall, Zhao Ya could hear footsteps coming from inside and the wheezing of dogs from time to time.
Apparently, the house had a night watcher and a watchdog.
This is really a difficult problem for ordinary thieves.
Because people are easy to deal with, and it is easy to avoid them with the cover of night.
But dogs have extremely sensitive hearing and sense of smell, especially specially trained guard dogs.
They will bark non-stop at the slightest movement.
But what is a very difficult problem for others is not a problem at all for Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya crushed a poison bait casually, and then the smell spread into the yard with the wind.
This poison bait can completely disable the sense of smell of dogs, and at the same time enter a state of extreme fear.
Sure enough.
After the smell of the poison bait spread, even through the high courtyard wall, the whimpering of the guard dogs inside because of extreme fear can still be heard.
Then Zhao Ya flew up, and the whole person sneaked into the house quietly like a ghost.
The house is not too big, with only three courtyards, but there are many people patrolling at night.
Most of them are those who followed Lian Hao to the Mi Family Inn during the day.
For these people, Zhao Ya doesn't even need to hide his body actively, and can easily avoid them purely by relying on the spirit turtle hibernation technique.
Soon, Zhao Ya came to the courtyard at the back.
As soon as he landed on the roof, Zhao Ya heard the faint sound of crying.
This crying sound was very strange, neither sobbing nor wailing.
Instead, it was more like the wail of a beast after being injured.
Zhao Ya followed the sound to the room where the crying sound came from, and then heard the man's grim laughter from inside.
"Cry, cry more miserably, I like you deaf and dumb fools crying."
Along with the voice, there was a whip sound, and then after a painful groan, the crying sound became more miserable.
Zhao Ya frowned, held the eaves, gently opened the window paper and looked inside.
He saw a thin woman kneeling on the ground with her upper body naked in the room, and her back was covered with dense whip marks, which were new and old, stacked layer by layer, which was shocking.
Next to her stood a one-armed man, holding a horse whip soaked in water, his face flushed, full of alcohol, and his facial features shifted due to excessive excitement.
It was the Lian Hao he had seen during the day.
And Zhao Ya also recognized the woman kneeling on the ground.
Isn't this the little girl who offered him tea at that time?
At that time, Yang Bin said that she was deaf and dumb since birth, so Zhao Ya had a deep impression of her.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was abused by Lian Hao into this state.
A ball of anger rose in Zhao Ya's eyes.
At the same time, Lian Hao seemed to be tired of beating, so he threw away the whip, picked up a rag from the table, soaked it in salt water, and then walked over with a grin.
"Today, your uncle Hao is in a good mood, so I will just give you a few whips. Come, uncle Hao will wipe the blood off your back."
Looking at Lian Hao coming over, the woman's face showed infinite fear.
Backed away with all her strength.
"Damn, you're such a bitch. I've been beating you for so long, and you still dare to hide?"
Lian Hao spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, then reached out to grab the woman's hair.
The woman screamed in extreme fear, and the sound spread far away in the silent night.
The people who were patrolling in front couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Today, Master Hao is having fun again."
"Tsk tsk, this little bitch is really tough. She hasn't died after being beaten for so long."
"To be honest, I also want to try what it's like to be a woman who can't talk. When Master Hao gets tired of playing, I want to ask for her to have a taste."
"Damn, count me in when the time comes."
As these people talked, their words became more and more vulgar, and they would laugh smugly from time to time, without noticing that the usually arrogant watchdogs were all hiding in their dens and trembling.
At the same time, Lian Hao in the house was about to grab the woman's hair, but he didn't expect to grab nothing.
Not only that, he suddenly felt his wrist lighten, and then he felt something fall down.
When he looked down, Lian Hao found that his wrist was broken at the root, his palm fell to the ground, and blood was gushing out of the wound.
Lian Hao was stunned.
He even thought it was an illusion caused by drinking too much.
But the severe pain that followed dispelled these doubts.
Lian Hao fell to his knees with a plop, his mouth wide open, just about to scream.
At this moment, a bright knife tip pressed against his brow.
"Don't shout, if you dare to make a sound, your head will not be yours."
Lian Hao immediately closed his mouth.
Although his one arm was cut off, the pain in his heart and the pain in his body were superimposed, making Lian Hao miserable.
But these were not worth mentioning compared to his own life.
Lian Hao had no doubt about these words, because he could feel the killing intent that was so awe-inspiring and almost tangible from the tip of the knife.
He repeatedly promised in a trembling voice, "I won't shout, I promise not to shout, please don't kill me."
He raised his head tremblingly, was stunned at first, and then smiled almost flatteringly.
"This... this gentleman, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything."
At this time, Zhao Ya was still in the state of disguise, so Lian Hao did not recognize him.
But Zhao Ya ignored him, and turned his head to look at the woman who was hiding in the corner and shivering.
Blood dripped down her back, staining the ground below red.
But even so, the woman still didn't dare to shout, and didn't even cry. She just looked at Zhao Ya with lifeless eyes, as if she didn't understand what was happening in front of her.
Lian Hao also noticed Zhao Ya's gaze at this time, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly said.
"Master, are you interested in this mute girl? Then I will give her to you now. I tell you, although she is deaf and dumb, she is obedient. She will do whatever you ask her to do."
"If that's the case, why do you still beat her?" Zhao Ya turned his head and said coldly.
Lian Hao was stunned, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "Isn't this just to relieve boredom, and beating her more when there is nothing to do can also make her dare not have a rebellious heart."
Zhao Ya was almost amused by the anger, and he turned his wrist, and the knife flashed.
Lian Hao screamed in fear, thinking that he was dead.
But soon he found that he was safe and sound, and he was relieved.
It turned out that Zhao Ya had just picked up the clothes on the ground with the tip of the knife and threw them at the mute girl in the corner.
The mute girl looked confused.
Zhao Ya gestured and asked her to put on the clothes first.
Otherwise, it would be indecent to be topless like this.
Although the woman was deaf and dumb, she was a girl after all, so she still had some shame.
She put on her top tremblingly, and her expression finally calmed down a little.
Then Zhao Ya looked at Lian Hao again.
"Are you Yang Bin's men?"
Lian Hao, who was originally thinking about how to get away, was slightly shocked after hearing Zhao Ya's words.
He finally understood that the man in front of him was not here for money and women.
But what did he want to find Yang Bin for?
Lian Hao was terrified and could only stammer: "Yes... yes."
Then he remembered something, "But I was just following orders. If you have a grudge against Yang Bin, just go to him directly. It has nothing to do with me."
Lian Hao first cleared himself off.
Zhao Ya naturally knew that Lian Hao would not tell the truth unless he saw blood.
So he didn't waste time talking to him, and raised his hand to slash.
This knife directly cut off the only ear that Lian Hao had left.
Lian Hao screamed in pain, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you questions now, if you dare to say one more word, your body will lose a part randomly, do you understand?" Zhao Ya said coldly.
Lian Hao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and nodded tremblingly.
"Where is the real account book of your Nandian Town?"
The first question hit the point directly.
Zhao Ya knew very well that since Yang Bin wanted to conceal the income of Nandian Town, he would definitely make false accounts.
So Zhao Ya didn't even mention looking at the account book during the day.
Because it would be useless to look at it, it must be fake.
Only by finding the real account book can the dark curtain of Nandian Town be unraveled.
Sure enough.
Lian Hao's face changed when he heard it.
He finally understood that this person did not come for money or women, or even for revenge.
It was obvious that he wanted to investigate Nandian Town.
Combined with the sudden arrival of people in Canglong Temple during the day, Lian Hao suddenly realized it, but he was also frightened.
"I... I don't know."
"Huh?" Zhao Ya raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to raise his knife.
Lian Hao hurriedly explained: "What I said is true, but Yang Bin doesn't trust anyone, and all the account books are kept by him personally. How can I know?"
Looking at Lian Hao with a horrified face, Zhao Ya knew that he should not lie.
Because people like Yang Bin really can't trust others.
"Then what is the real situation in your Nandian Town?"
"You... what aspect are you asking about?" Lian Hao said cautiously.
Zhao Ya raised his hand and pointed to the mute girl in the corner, "Just like these disabled people."
