Chapter 114 Beast
Chapter 114 Beast
In the side room of the manor, as the candlelight dimmed, the girl's wailing gradually subsided.
The thugs who were eavesdropping outside the door couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh, rubbing their hands together, unable to hide their anticipation.
Not long after! With a creaking sound, the door of the side room opened. A group of thugs rushed over and smiled flatteringly in front of the strong man.
"Hmph!~"
The sturdy man looked back at the girl and sneered, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are done, clean it up."
"Hehe! Got it." The thugs echoed.
Watching the sturdy man's back blending into the night, the thugs rubbed their hands and walked in.
The woman had no strength left at this moment, but when she saw dozens of people appear in the room, she felt a chill in her heart and looked towards the corner of the table.
Realizing the girl's intention, the thug stepped forward, grabbed the girl by the hair and threw her onto the bed.
The girl struggled to escape, but was pinned down by the sturdy man. Her unclear begging for mercy sounded a little exciting to the thugs.
"Don't waste your energy. You can't escape today." One person said with a ferocious smile.
Despair flashed in the girl's eyes, and she used all her strength to kick the strong man in the crotch.
However, the strong man easily dodged her attack and slapped her in the face with his backhand.
"You ungrateful girl, why are you pretending to be so noble? Serve me well, and I will give you a good time later." One person shouted angrily.
The girl felt a burning pain on her face. Looking at the group of people rushing towards her like wolves and tigers, she couldn't help herself even if she wanted to die.
The breeze was cold, and after midnight, the thugs left the room contentedly. The girl was now completely battered and lifeless.
One of them fixed his clothes, looked at the girl's body and said, "Deal with it according to the old rules."
The others looked at each other and nodded to show that they had no objection. Then one of the tall thugs carried the girl's body and walked straight out of the yard.
Watching the thugs leaving, the man hiding in the dark said with a sad face: "Hey! If I wasn't on night duty today, I might be able to enjoy myself."
"Didn't you enjoy it the day before yesterday? Don't think too much, just watch carefully." Another person reminded.
The thug carried the girl's body to a woods, buried it, and then walked towards the manor. However, just as he stepped onto the road, he ran into Cao Zhen and his group.
Both sides were stunned, and time seemed to have stopped.
When the thugs saw a group of people in yamen uniforms behind Cao Zhen, they felt something was wrong and were about to shout, but Xie Shuting took the initiative.
"Poet Immortal! Hurry up and do it."
Li Shixian did not dare to delay and immediately took out two copper coins and threw them at the thug in front of him.
The copper coin passed through his body and the thug covered his throat in horror, but he was unable to stop the hot blood from flowing out of his throat.
Li Shixian's attack was extremely ruthless. Even Cao Zhen, who had seen murder scenes before, couldn't help swallowing.
Several people came forward and surrounded the dead body. Xie Tingwen looked him up and down and said worriedly, "Shu Ting! Did you kill the wrong person?"
Xie Shuting casually looked through the clothes of the deceased and said softly, "He was still wandering outside at midnight. How could he be a good person? Moreover, when Yuehua was taking care of him just now, my daughter found a few bloodstains on his clothes."
While speaking, Xie Shuting pointed at the corner of the deceased's clothes. Several people glanced at him in the moonlight, then looked at the bloodstains on his chest, and they noticed something strange about the two bloodstains.
"He went out in the middle of the night and there was blood on his body. I'm afraid it was a murder."
Xie Tingwen clenched his fists and said solemnly, "Captain Cao! Use the moonlight to check in that direction to see if there is any new soil."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen hurriedly made a gesture, and dozens of yamen runners quietly rushed into the woods. In just a moment, they discovered the clue.
"Boss! There is blood here." A bailiff said in a low voice.
Cao Zhen walked over slowly, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it, his expression changed and he said, "You guys dig carefully, I'll call you adults."
"Yes!" the bailiff replied in a low voice.
Dozens of yamen runners quickly took out the iron rulers from their waists and began to dig the suspicious places in front of them.
Cao Zhen quickly returned, looked around, and then hunched over to Xie Tingwen and said, "Sir! As expected, there is a discovery."
"Yeah!~"
Xie Tingwen nodded, then looked behind him and said, "Shu Ting! You guys stay here, I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay!" Xie Shuting replied in a low voice.
Xie Tingwen immediately lifted up his robe and motioned Cao Zhen to lead the way, and the two of them walked towards the grove with their bodies hunched over.
In the grove, the bailiffs had already dug out five bodies from under the soil, all of them children no older than ten years old.
“Sir! Based on preliminary investigation, these people were probably abused before they died. This body has not yet shown any signs of rigor mortis, so it must have just…” The bailiff was so grief-stricken that he could hardly express it in words.
Xie Tingwen frowned coldly, the moonlight shining on his face made him look like a killing god, intimidating and inviolable.
"These people are so courageous. Once I catch them, I will kill them alive." Cao Zhen said viciously.
After all, he was a ten-year-old child. No one with a conscience would do such a cruel and inhumane thing.
Xie Tingwen calmed down a bit and ordered, "Leave two people to look around to see if there are any more bodies, and the others will follow me back."
After Cao Zhen randomly assigned two people, he led the rest of the people to reunite with Xie Shuting.
When she looked at Xie Tingwen's solemn expression and the strange looks from the yamen runners, she knew without further ado that the situation in the grove was not optimistic.
"Miss Li! How long will it take to get there?" Cao Zhen asked repeatedly.
Li Shixian looked around and pointed to a willow tree not far ahead and said, "There is a hidden stake on it, and there are three more outside. Once I deal with them, we will be there after we go over the hill."
After Xie Shuting glanced at the target that Li Shixian had just pointed at, she couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry. I have no rival in the martial arts world for my skill of 'chasing stars and catching the moon'."
Seeing that Li Shixian was full of confidence, Xie Shuting said no more and led a group of people to lie in wait on the side of the road, hiding their bodies with the help of bushes.
Li Shixian's figure flashed, and he displayed the elegant skill of "Treading on the Waves and Chasing the Dust" again. At the same time, when he approached the willow tree, he shot out four copper coins in succession.
"Bang bang!~"
There were two muffled sounds and two dark shadows suddenly fell from the willow tree.
Li Shixian turned around and used the "Moon-Grabbing Hand" to throw the two people who were about to die to the side.
Without any pause, she once again demonstrated her superb lightness skills. As the copper coins in her arms kept being thrown out, the spies in the dark were also removed one after another.
Xie Shuting calculated the time, and after waiting for a moment, she called on everyone to move forward quickly and move towards the manor.
However, at this time, no one in the manor noticed the crisis. The well-nourished thugs and strong men had already fallen into a deep sleep.
