I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 44 What is Ruan Jinqiang hiding (fourth update)
Yihong Courtyard.

With the selection of the oiran, the excitement in the lobby has dissipated.

In fact, the selection of this oiran was boring and ended hastily.

A group of men who only eat fast food to fill their bellies have no intention of having a full banquet.

On the second floor of Yihongyuan, the manager, the madam, and several waiters were standing there tremblingly.

Huang Xuan's other three guards are not dead either. They are currently responsible for guarding Yihongyuan.

"Young Master, Young Master Chu, let's leave here first and then talk."

Chu Ning nodded, instead of hiding the broad knife on his back, he just held it in his hand.

It was Huang Xuan's yard in town that he returned to.

The bodies of the three people in the box, as well as the man Ruan Jinqiang killed, the four bodies are now placed in the yard.

Chu Ning stepped forward and took a few glances at the body of the man killed by Ruan Jinqiang. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and asked, "Brother Ruan, what is going on? Who is this man?"

Ruan Jinqiang glanced at Huang Xuan. At this moment, Huang Xuan was a little distracted. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mr. Chu, to be honest, this woman is Huang Zhongxing's daughter, but she is not liked by Huang Zhongxing, and this man is a loyal subordinate of Huang Zhongxing, but he disappeared after the master's succession battle was won."

There wasn't much surprise on Chu Ning's face, because he had already guessed it.

He hates himself, but the one who also bears the hatred along with Huang Xuan can only be the Huang family, Huang Zhongxing, the member of the Huang family who competes with Uncle Huang to be the heir to the family head.

"Brother Ruan, I want to know more specifically." Chu Ning said in a deep voice.

I don't know why, but looking at Chu Ning's eyes at this moment, Ruan Jinqiang felt a pressure.

"Brother Chu, the woman's name is Huang Shan. She is the daughter of Uncle Zhongxing. She was born to an aunt and is not loved by Uncle Zhongxing. Uncle Zhongxing was sent to the border by the family half a year ago. Zhongxing Tang It will be difficult for Uncle to have the opportunity to leave the frontier in this life."

Huang Xuan suddenly spoke, but Chu Ning's expression did not change at all. It was normal for the loser in the family head dispute to be sent to a remote place. Even so, Uncle Huang would not let Huang Zhongxing go.

"That is to say, Huang Shan is seeking revenge for her father. The so-called discord between father and daughter is just an illusion."

"It should be like this at the moment." Huang Xuan nodded in frustration. He was not on guard against Huang Shan because he knew that Huang Shan and Uncle Zhongxing had a bad relationship. The entire clan knew about this. Uncle Zhongxing often Will beat and scold Huang Shan.

"Spanking and scolding are fake, but love is real."

Chu Ning knew in her heart that this was a routine often used by some big families, especially those who competed for high positions, in order to leave a way out for their beloved descendants, and at the same time to prevent their truly beloved descendants from becoming others' weaknesses in dealing with them.

"Then who is this man, and what is the origin of the Wushuang Sect?"

Compared to Huang Shan, Chu Ning was more concerned about the identity of the man killed by Huang Shan.

But obviously Huang Xuan couldn't give an answer. He didn't know what Wushuang Sect was, so he could only turn his attention to Ruan Jinqiang.

"The Wushuang Sect is a martial arts sect. In the Liang Dynasty, in addition to the eight surnames, there were four major martial arts sects, and the Wushuang Sect was one of them."

"How strong is the Wushuang Sect?" Chu Ning asked.

Ruan Jinqiang was silent for a few breaths and then said: "The strength of the four major sects is higher than that of the eight major sects."

Although he had expected it in his heart, hearing Ruan Jinqiang admit it personally made Chu Ning feel a layer of gloom in his heart.

"I have already sent a message to Master Feige. The people in Yihongyuan are also under control. The news cannot leak out for the time being. Master will handle the follow-up. Mr. Chu does not need to worry too much."

Ruan Jinqiang looked at Chu Ning and comforted him.

"Uncle Huang is out, so I have nothing to worry about. Okay, I'll go back to the patrol room first. After Uncle Huang returns the news, Brother Ruan, please tell me as soon as possible."

When Chu Ning heard Ruan Jinqiang's words, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. However, when he was at the entrance of the courtyard, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped and asked: "Brother Ruan, what are you killing behind me?" This person is an accomplice of Huang Shan, have you asked anything?"

"No, Zhang Xu didn't say anything before he was shot to death by me." "That's it, then I'll leave this to Brother Ruan."

Without saying anything else, Chu Ning returned to the patrol room.

After returning to the patrol room, Chu Ning first went into the bedroom and took out an iron box from the secret compartment. After opening it, there were more than a dozen banknotes in it, totaling 2000 taels.

Putting these banknotes and the silver coins in the room, including a bag of copper coins, on her body, Chu Ning took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall.

There are some things he has to guard against.

Because Ruan Jinqiang did not tell the truth to him.

He had just observed Zhang Xu's body, and there were obvious palm prints on Zhang Xu's chest, which indicated that this person died after his heart was shattered by the force of his palm.

Ruan Jinqiang's weapon is a gun.

Instead of using a gun but using his palm, there was only one possibility. Zhang Xu was easily taken down by Ruan Jinqiang.

If it was okay for Zhang Xu to commit suicide by taking poison before he was captured, and he was captured so easily, Ruan Jinqiang did not get any useful information from Zhang Xu, so would he choose to kill Zhang Xu?
This is obviously against common sense.

The only explanation is that Ruan Jinqiang killed Zhang Xu because he didn't want the information he got from Zhang Xu to be known to him.

So what information would make Ruan Jinqiang unwilling to be known to him?

Huang Shan set up a trap for herself and Huang Xuan, and Ruan Jinqiang concealed something.

After thinking quietly in the yard for a few minutes, Chu Ning made a decision and climbed over the wall into the yard where her old aunt lived next door.

It was late at night and the old man had already fallen asleep.

But as soon as Chu Ning walked to the door, her old aunt's voice came from inside.

"Is it Xiaoning?"

The old man was a light sleeper, and Chu Ning did not deliberately let down his footsteps to wake him up.

After a while, the old man opened the door and blinked when he saw Chu Ning standing at the door with a bow and arrow on his back and a long knife.

"Old aunt, we have to leave town."

"Okay, okay, old aunt, go pack your things."

The old man didn't ask why, he just nodded and turned around and entered the room.

In less than 3 minutes, the old man came out with a baggage.

"Old aunt, everything has been packed. Nothing is left behind. Don't worry, Xiao Ning can carry it."

Chu Ning also didn't expect her old aunt to move so quickly. People say that old people are nostalgic, so why is there such a small baggage, which only contains a few clothes?

"Old aunt, don't leave anything behind. We may not come back for a while after we leave this time, so don't worry about it then." Chu Ning said with a smile.

"Silly boy, you are the only one who can make my old aunt miss you, Xiao Ning."

"Well, so is Xiao Ning."

Chu Ning nodded heavily and helped the old man towards the door.

When he reached the door, Chu Ning stopped and looked at the closed door with a complicated expression.

outside the door,

someone.
