Chapter 108 The Unlucky Golden Dog

Jin Mansion has an outer wall, and there are guards patrolling along the walls at all times.

The outer wall is two feet high and three feet thick, which is only slightly inferior to the walls of some small cities.

It's not that the Jin family doesn't have the strength to build the outer wall taller, but it's just that there's no need.

If the enemies all reach Jin Mansion, even if the outer wall is built higher and thicker than the walls of Linjiang City, it will be of no use.

Therefore, this outer wall is only used to protect against thieves and assassins, mainly assassins. I have never seen a thief dare to steal anything from the Jin family.

However, soon, the guards patrolling under the wall will be seen.

"Who?"

Looking at the approaching figure, this group of ten patrolling guards tightened their grip on the weapons around their waists.

The leader of the team even shouted loudly, aiming to summon his companions around him.

"It's me."

Li Yan walked out of the darkness and appeared unarmed under the light of their portable lanterns.

"It turns out that Golden Dog is in charge. I wonder what's wrong with Golden Dog being up so late."

Seeing that it was a familiar face and there were no weapons on him, the captain couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as part of his duty, he still had to ask why Jin Quan was up so late and wandering around.

"I've been a little restless lately and couldn't sleep, so I walked around. I might have scared you. Sorry, I'm leaving now."

Li Yan sighed and spoke softly.

"You're welcome. You didn't scare us. It's my voice that was too loud just now that scared you. It's me who apologizes."

The team leader didn't dare to make excuses, so he quickly said politely.

In Jin Mansion, no matter what he does, as long as his surname is Jin, people with other surnames will be polite when they see him.

However, he soon realized something was wrong.

"When did this old dog Jin Quan speak so politely?"

However, his reaction was too slow.

With the opportunity of a few words, Li Yan was already less than ten feet away from them.

This distance, to them, is the distance between life and death.

Qi and blood exploded, and Li Yan raised his right palm to make a knife. Qi and blood covered the entire right hand, and a sharp energy suddenly filled the air.

Then, there are ten consecutive instant kills.

It didn't even take Li Yan more than one breath to deal with these people.

After all, they are all in the flesh-forging realm, and only the captain is in the bone-forging realm.

With such a strength gap, for Li Yan, who is not afraid of getting hurt, if he can't kill him quickly, he doesn't need to practice martial arts and can just go back to farming.

After killing these people, Li Yan crossed the two-foot-high outer wall of Jin Mansion without stopping, and then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a person with the same appearance as him appeared in his previous position seamlessly.

He didn't stop and rushed towards the woodshed.

This is the clone sent by Li Yanxin to replace the previous clone and work undercover in the Jin Mansion.

Naturally, the previous clone rushed directly to where Li Yan's body was. After all, he had a huge amount of money hidden deep inside his body.

"Everyone is dead, please sound the alarm."

At this time, a group of guards nearby who were also patrolling arrived belatedly.

They came in a hurry after hearing the previous captain's shout.

Unfortunately, their usual safety made them think it was not a big deal, so they did not rush on their way with all their strength, which led to them arriving late.

A red firework exploded in Waifu.

Suddenly, the originally silent Waifu gradually woke up from its deep sleep.

"What happened?"

Li Yan walked out of the room in disheveled clothes.

It seemed that the noise outside woke him up from his sleep, causing him to open the door without even putting on his clothes.

"I heard that an assassin broke into the house, and several teams of patrolling guards were killed!"

A person who lived next door to Li Yan suddenly came to Li Yan at this time.

Like Li Yan, he is also Hao Huo's subordinate.

"How do you know so clearly?"

Li Yan asked with a strange look on his face. He didn't remember that he had killed several groups of guards, but there was obviously only one group.

"I woke up a little earlier than you. I learned all this from the stewards' conversations."

"By the way, why am I telling you this? Hurry up, Manager Hao asked me to call you to assemble."

"Okay, will you come with me?"

"No, you go to Manager Hao's place by yourself, I have to call the others!"

So, Li Yan tidied his clothes and ran to Manager Hao.

"Bu Hui, you're here."

"Yes, Manager Hao, I met Sein Fei as soon as I got up. He asked me to come to your place."

"He told me that an assassin ran into our house and killed many people. Is that true?"

Li Yan asked doubtfully.

Hao Huo is a relatively young steward, much younger than the other two stewards present, and he is also kinder, so Li Yan will ask directly if he doesn't understand something.

"It's almost the same, except that we only killed one group of people. I think that guy from Seinfeld must have told you that he killed several groups of people!"

Li Yan nodded repeatedly.

"This kid just likes to brag. Sooner or later, he will end up with this mouth."

Hao Huo shook his head helplessly.

Soon, the five teams belonging to Hao Huo arrived, as did the other two management teams.

The reason why Li Yan and the others were asked to gather was to bring order to the messy woodshed.

Someone will come to check and question them later. If it is a mess, those people will be in a bad mood.

Not only will the servants in the firewood room be unlucky, but the managers will also be punished.

Nearly twenty people are more than enough to maintain order for less than three hundred people.

Not long after, nearly three hundred people stood neatly in the open space of the firewood room, waiting for the inspectors to come.

This wait was a bit long, and many people's heads began to fluctuate.

After all, they were all awakened from their sleep, and it was still night, and it was not a short distance from dawn, so it was inevitable that they would be sleepy.

Finally, a group of people from the [Punishment Hall] came.

Li Yan was still very impressed with this group of people. After all, when he first met them, their purpose was to catch him.

And this time, their purpose was the same, but they didn't know it.

"Two major events happened tonight. One is that an assassin broke in and killed a team of guards in our mansion."

"Another thing is that Lord Jin Ya's house was robbed. We suspect that it was done by the same group of people."

"The assassin may have killed people to cover the thief's escape."

"At present, we don't know whether the group of thieves has escaped from the mansion, so the higher-ups require us to search every corner thoroughly."

"Also, the thief may be an insider, so I have to check if there are any missing people here. Have you found your companions suspicious tonight?"

"Once you provide key clues, whether you are a steward or a servant, you will be promoted one level on the spot and rewarded 100 taels."

When these people came, they said the above series of words with a serious expression.

Then, more than ten of them were divided into two groups, one group checked all the corners of the firewood room, and the other group was responsible for interrogating Li Yan's group of servants one by one.

However, this familiar scene reminded Li Yan of what they did when stewards Song and Qian lost money before.

Of course, the difference is that Li Yan was in line for interrogation, but now he is maintaining order and then being interrogated at the end.

And the other party's tone was better than last time.

In the end, they worked for most of the night and still did not find any useful clues.

Of course, more than ten suspects were arrested, all of whom were reported by others and were considered suspicious.

This time Li Yan lived alone and no one accused him.

"Bang", a vase was smashed to pieces, and this person was obviously very angry, and a bloody energy in his hand was mobilized involuntarily.

When the vase was broken, it also smashed a big hole in the brick and stone floor.

"All my wealth, all my savings over the years are gone, damn thief, if I catch you, I will definitely tear you into pieces."

Jin Ya's face was bloodshot, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

This was a manifestation of extreme anger.

"When can you find that thief?"

As he said, Jin Ya looked at a third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] with a ferocious look.

The steward was so scared that he kept wiping his cold sweat.

If other second-class stewards dared to do this to him, the third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall], he would make them pay.

However, the person in front of him at this time was Jin Ya, a branch of the Jin family.

"It's like this, Lord Jin Ya, we suspect that this thief is in the same group as the assassin who killed a team of patrol guards tonight."

"As long as we can find the assassin, we can find the thief by following the clues."

The third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] explained carefully.

"Have you found the assassin?"

"Not yet."

"No, no, you are fooling me, right?"

Although Jin Ya was overwhelmed by anger, his IQ did not decrease.

"I am definitely not fooling you, sir. We have no clue about the thief who stole your things. We can't find him even if we want to."

"On the contrary, the assassin who killed people left more clues, which is relatively easier to find."

The third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] explained hurriedly.

"You said clues, then tell me the clues you know."

"Okay, sir, we now have two clues about the assassin."

The third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] replied respectfully.

"One is that this assassin is likely to be from our Jin Mansion, because the dead guards were killed head-on, with only a knife mark on the neck, but no signs of fighting on their bodies."

"And the captain of the dead guard team shouted a warning before his death, but the sound became smaller afterwards, obviously seeing someone he knew."

"So, we infer that the assassin's cultivation is at least above the blood exchange realm, is good at swordsmanship, and holds a position above steward in the mansion."

"Another one was provided by one of the guards who supported the earliest. This clue is too intrusive, I don't know whether I should say it."

Speaking of this, the third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] hesitated.

"If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Jin Ya shouted impatiently.

"The man said that he was born with sensitive ears, so he heard the name of the captain of the guard who was killed, Jin Quan, through the sound of the wind that day."

Hearing this, Jin Ya's pupils shrank.

At this time, his original anger disappeared strangely, and he became calm instead.

This made the third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] who thought Jin Ya would be even more furious feel a little uncomfortable. He felt that Jin Ya seemed even more terrifying at this time.

"Okay, I know."

In the end, Jin Ya didn't say anything else, just said this.

Then, he walked out, and the direction seemed to be the direction of the inner palace.

"By the way, clean up the two bodies in my room."

After saying that, he disappeared.

"Damn, what's the matter? You actually want me, a third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall], to clean up your bodies."

"If it weren't for your last name, Jin, I would have caught you and taught you a lesson in the [Punishment Hall]."

The third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] spit in the direction where Jin Ya left, and finally went to collect the bodies helplessly.

"Since I helped you collect the bodies, then I will accept your compensation."

Looking at the two female corpses with their heads twisted off on the bed, the third-class steward of the [Punishment Hall] said with a smile.
