Chapter 20: Catching the Turtle in the Urn

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from his feet, and the entire floor in the house collapsed. None of a group of more than ten people were spared and all fell into the pit. The pit was more than one meter deep and the walls were smooth. For mortals, it would be impossible to climb up except for stacking arhats to build human ladders.

After all, Wu Da was the boss and was still a little brainy. At the critical moment, he also thought of this and quickly made his subordinates fold the arhat. He was the boss, so of course he had to run first, so he was the first to step on his subordinates' shoulders and climbed up. Since the house was completely underground, the door became the only exit. Wu Dagang grabbed the threshold and was about to escape from the sky. Before he could have time to be happy, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck and a sword had been placed on his neck. When he looked up, he was so scared that he was scattered. With the faint light of the stars and moon in the sky, he saw clearly the face of the sword-holder. It was neither someone else, but the Qingliang Hou who was about to assassinate.

Jiang Xiaobai knew that Qin Shangtian's character would definitely not let him go, so he took advantage of the opportunity to renovate the Marquis' Mansion and asked someone to secretly dig this deep pit. During this period, the three of them took turns to be on duty, and at night they focused on patrolling his bedroom. Feng Yu was on duty just now, and after they found out that they went to notify Jiang Xiaobai. He was originally going to call Feng Yan, but Jiang Xiaobai saw that he had entered a deep meditation and shouted twice without any response. It seemed that he had reached the critical moment of clearing the flood, so he left him and brought Feng Yu to him.

Jiang Xiaobai squatted down and pulled off the mask from Wu Da's face. Seeing that it was Wu Da, he was slightly stunned. Then he snorted coldly and said, "Wu Da, I really didn't expect it to be you! You, a life-and-death thing, have healed, and forgot the pain. Last time, I spared you and thought you would regret your reforms, but I didn't expect that I would dare to come and assassinate me. It seems that you are very disrespectful to your life!"

Wu Dazhan said, "Little Marquis, I'm a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Misunderstanding? You won't tell me that I came to the Marquis' mansion so late and played games with me, right?"

Wu Da swallowed and said, "We are not here to play games. We have only not seen the little marquis for many days. We are worried about it. We thought that the little marquis had an accident, so we visited late at night. We didn't expect that it would disturb the little marquis. We hope that the little marquis will be forgiven."

Jiang Xiaobai had no expression on his face and said, "I didn't hear what you said just now. I'll give you a chance to say it again. If I still make me feel that you are lying, then the following passage is the last paragraph you have said in your life, so you have to make some preparations and don't say the wrong thing again."

Wu Da dared not doubt his words. After all, the person in front of him was the master who even dared to kill even a monk. He probably wouldn't even blink his eyes when he killed him. He said anxiously: "It was Qin Shangtian who asked me to kill you. I just acted on orders and couldn't help myself! At that time, I advised him, saying that the Marquis is not an ordinary person and cannot do anything, but he was greedy for weights and was determined to let me do it. I had no choice!"

Jiang Xiaobai sneered and said, "It's indeed Qin Shangtian! Unfortunately, he didn't come by himself, but he asked you to be a scapegoat."

Wu Dabun nodded and said, "Little Marquis, it's clear to me, I'm really being used! I have a head of resentment and a master of debt. If I want to kill the little Marquis, I should kill Qin Shangtian. Killing us small characters will only dirty the little Marquis' sword!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Killing you will indeed cause my sword to be dirty!"

Wu Da thought he was going to let them go, so he said happily: "What the little marquis said is that we are very dirty." He then tentatively said: "Little marquis, then can we go back?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "You can go back, but it's not going home, but going back down."

Wu Da said in confusion: "Why is this little marquis? Is it different from above?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since it's the same, then go down! After dawn, the officials will come to take you home."

Wu Da said anxiously: "Since the little marquis doesn't kill us, why don't you do it to the end and let us go? Leave us to the government, we will be dead!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "That may not be. You are not the mastermind. As long as you are more flexible, you may have a glimmer of hope."

Wu Da was not a fool, so he immediately understood his intention. He wanted them to confess his mastermind and sell Qin Shangtian. He would kill someone with a knife! Then he said, "But no matter how flexible our mouths are, it may not be able to touch the official's heart!"

Jiang Xiaobai said softly: "Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

Seeing his murderous intent rolling, Wu Da's heart trembled and did not dare to bargain anymore. He slid down the ladder again. However, he was not completely desperate because he left a backup plan and did not bring everyone in. He also left a little brother to respond not far away to prevent things from changing.

The younger brother was alert. He heard a rumbling sound and knew something was wrong. He sneaked to the gate of the yard and secretly spyed in the air. He realized that the boss had been captured alive, so he hurriedly retreated quietly.

The assassination of the little marquis was a big deal. Qin Shangtian did not dare to be careless, and he was afraid that things would change, so he did not dare to sleep. He was hiding not far from the marquis' mansion to respond to him, preventing Wu from being careless and letting the little marquis run away. They could also intercept and kill him as soon as possible.

As a result, Wu Da didn't wait, and the little marquis didn't wait, but waited Wu Da's younger brother. Seeing his panic, Qin Shangtian's heart sank, which was not a good sign.

The little brother ran all the way, running to Qin Shangtian was already out of breath and panting. Qin Shangtian didn't give him a chance to breathe and asked, "Why are you back alone? Where is Wu Da?"

The younger brother gasped and said, "Young Master Qin... is not good... Our boss has made a mistake... He was caught in a urn." Then he roughly said what happened in the marquis' mansion.

Of course, Qin Shangtian was extremely shocked when he heard this. He felt like the sky was falling. It would be fine if this group of people were killed accidentally, but it had nothing to do with him. This was also the reason why he used Wu Da to kill people. But he never expected that Wu Da would be so useless. More than a dozen people were captured alive. If he had been to capture more than a dozen pigs alive, he would have to work hard for a long time, and he might not be able to catch them. Maybe he would be bitten by pigs. This group of waste is really inferior to pigs!

Assassination of the Marquis is no trivial matter. No one can afford this crime. If these people are sent to the city lord's mansion tomorrow, they will definitely betray him. With the relationship between his father and the city lord, I don't know if this matter can be suppressed? If it can't be suppressed, it will be a dead end!

Suddenly, he thought of Zuo Lan. He used to drink and have fun with him, but now he doesn't leave the house and doesn't even see him. He gets sick at home wholeheartedly. It turns out that he has already guessed that he is going to assassinate the little marquis, and is clear from him! Since it is clear that he will not help him, he must be the city lord's intention. I guess if the incident happens, no one can save him.

At this point, Qin Shangtian regretted his intestines. No wonder Zuo Lan, as the son of the city lord, did not say anything after being humiliated so much, and would rather be sick than get angry. It turned out that he was not a coward, but stood high and looked far away! Qingliang Hou is a powerful weapon of the country, how could ordinary people kill him if they want to? The son of the city lord can tolerate it, but his son, a small pavilion leader, did not know that the sky was high and the earth was strong, so he jumped around hard, not to commit suicide?

Of course, people will only think thoroughly when they regret it. If they are given a chance to start over again, they will definitely do this. Isn’t it just an outdated little marquis? If they can’t be killed openly, they will kill them secretly, just like killing an ant. Who cares about his life or death?
