When Xu Bai heard this, he put the pill back into the bottle and said with a smile, “”That’s right. I like honest people. Otherwise, you’ll have to waste another pill of mine.”
“Brother Xu, I know about the Chen family.” Yun Zihai frowned and said.
Xu Bai raised his hand and said,” We’ll find a quiet place later. We’ll talk slowly. Now, let’s get rid of this guy first.””
When Seven Ghost heard this, he opened his mouth wide and said,” Please spare my life. I know everything you want to know. Please spare my life. I promise to hide far away and never go against you again.”‘
None of the three people present replied.
Xu Bai tossed the Ghost Head Blade to Chu Yu and said,””Kill him until he can no longer be resurrected.”
Chu Yu took it in a flurry. She was stunned at first, then she took a deep breath and walked to Seven Ghost.
Throughout the entire process, he did not say a single word.
“Why aren’t you bargaining with me this time?”Xu Bai teased.
Chu Yu turned around and said seriously,””There’s no reason.”
Last time, she could still use the excuse that it was more complicated, but it was different this time. This time, she really couldn’t find an excuse. She was afraid that Xu Bai would glare at her.
“You have to know that everything I do is for your own good. Only then can you live well in this cruel world.”Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu’s expression and could not help but add in the end.
King Sheng You was a man of great talent, but his daughter was like a blank sheet of paper.
If not for the Emperor’s teachings in the Imperial Palace, there would be problems with killing people.
Since he had accepted someone else’s book, he would let Chu Yu learn more.
Chu Yu nodded vigorously and said emotionally, “”1 understand.” After saying that, he raised his Ghost Head Blade and slashed Seven Ghost’s head.
The Ghost Head Blade was sharp, and Seven Ghost’s head was cut off.
However, his recovery ability was indeed very strong. He began to recover quickly again. However, his chest was stepped on by Xu Bai and restrained by the layer of black light. He could not move at all.
“Again!” Xu Bai shouted.
Chu Yu gritted her teeth and raised the Ghost Head Blade in the end. She sliced Gui Qi’s head again and again.
The entire process was extremely cruel, and the scene was also very crazy.
Chu Yu swung her saber again and again. She felt her nerves turning numb. At the same time, she felt that her personality had changed.
Seven Ghost’s recovery power gradually weakened until the last slash. Seven Ghost could no longer recover and became a corpse.
Chu Yu placed the Ghost Head Blade on the ground and panted heavily. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
In the palace, the Emperor had taught her how to kill, but that was all done with a single slash. It was nothing like the repeated torture she was experiencing now, which had changed her worldview.
Xu Bai could also tell that Chu Yu only needed to stabilize her emotions and wait for her to absorb it slowly. The harvest today would be enough for her to transform.
As expected, practice was the best opportunity to test a theory.
“Let’s go to a safer place and discuss how to find clues from that family.”Xu Bai looked at the surrounding darkness and said.
Yun Zihai nodded and said, “We’ll talk about it when we get back to the yamen.””
The few of them did not stay any longer and directly walked towards the government office.
Yunlai Manor.
Yun Zihai closed the door and lit the oil lamp on the table. He only poured a glass of water for Xu Bai and Chu Yu when the light from the oil lamp lit up the room.
“Brother Xu, what do you plan to do next?”
The information they had just received had confirmed that the Chen family was the source of the clues. Now, they had to discuss a plan.
Of course, everyone present knew that whether Seven Ghost was telling the truth or not was a question worth exploring.
If it was fake and the Chen family was just a burial item he wanted to bite out before he died, then he would have to find another plan.
If it was true, then it would be great.
“Actually, you don’t have to ask me.””Brother Yun, don’t you have any ideas?” Xu Bai rubbed his chin.”
He was only here to help, not to lead. Why did she have to ask him for everything? It was as if his opinion was very important.
“Actually, my thoughts are the same as Brother Xu’s.””But if it’s the Chen family, there’s another possibility.”
As he spoke, Yun Zihai told him the general situation of the Chen family one by one.
The Chen family was also a big family in Yunlai Mansion.
The businesses they operated were all over Dao City under Yunlai Mansion.
And this Chen family had a unique line of work, paper people.
The so-called paper binding had many different names in the folk, such as binding, paste paper, binding paper, binding paper warehouse, binding cover, color paste, and so on.
In a broad sense, paper bundles included colored doors, spirit shed, stage, shop facade decoration, horizontal boards, characters, paper horses, opera texts, dance tools, kites, lanterns, etc.
In a narrow sense, paper bundles referred to funeral paper bundles, which were mainly used to burn paper figurines, paper horses, money trees, gold and silver mountains, archways, gatehouses, houses, poultry, etc. in sacrificial and funeral activities.
What the Chen family did was to make paper bundles in a narrow sense.
Originally, the profits of doing this business were not very high, but once a certain thing formed a monopoly, its profits would rise along with it. It was the same for the Chen family’s business.
“Paper…” “What’s the difference?” Xu Bai thought of Liu Xu and asked.”
“The man in white is dead.” Yun Zihai said,” If it’s true, the Chen family will be alerted immediately. Whether it’s an undercover investigation or an open investigation, we won’t be able to find any specific information. So, we might
as well wait for the rabbit..””
