GBP Chapter 296 His Punishment
Chapter 296 His Punishment
Wei Zhong and his companions waited at the door of the jade shop for a long time but the two people who went in to inquire did not come out.
"They probably know." Wei Zhong put out the cigarette in his hand.
"What should we do? Xiaohao and Junzi are still in there. They won't catch them, right?"
"Retreat first..." Before he could finish his words, someone put a gun to his head from behind.
"Isn't this the most loyal sword-bearing guard of Master Sheng? Why is he here?" Meng Wu said with a smile.
Wei Zhong turned around and looked at him: "It really is Young Master Bai."
Wei Zhong recognized Meng Wu and knew that he was Bai Song's man.
"So what? You're going to see the King of Hell with this secret anyway..."
"Brother Zhong, hurry up!" The people around Wei Zhong suddenly grabbed Meng Wu's gun.
Wei Zhong took the opportunity to push down the bamboo pole standing beside him and ran into the alley.
Meng Wu and his men fired a few shots, killing those people, and then chased after them.
Wei Zhong was not familiar with the road and was blocked by Meng Wu's men. He was shot in the arm and turned around and jumped into the river on the side.
Meng Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Search along the river."
"Yes!"
Meng Wu swam under the bridge and hid for a while, then found an opportunity to go ashore.
Meng Wu stood in front of Bai Song and slapped himself hard.
"It was my fault for being careless. I let Wei Zhong escape."
Bo Song took a puff of his cigar and said, "He's injured and can't escape from Yuncheng."
"But... he will definitely spread the news." Meng Wu said with a frown.
"They're all dead. If there's no news back in Yangcheng, Sheng Zexi will definitely guess it was me. It's only a matter of time before he comes looking for me. I asked you to kill them not to block the news, but to give Sheng Zexi a warning.
This guy has repeatedly cut off my Bai family's financial resources and killed many of us in Xinchuanling. I've been patient time and time again, but he's gotten ahead of me. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll really treat me like a weakling. "Bai Song's eyes were grim.
Xunlong Jade Shop was robbed and the leader of the thieves was injured and on the run.
Wei Zhong looked at the wanted posters all over the streets and knew that he could not go back.
He covered his wound, broke into a house under the cover of night, put a gun to the man's head, and said, "I need to use the phone."
"This room, the phone is in this room..." said the hostess crying.
After the call was connected, Wei Zhong said, "Master, it's Master Bai. I can't go back, so please be careful."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked out of the house.
Meng Wu stood at the door and said, "Abandoning your brothers and running for your life, what kind of hero are you?"
Wei Zhong smiled and said, "Who said I abandoned them?"
He picked up the gun and shot Meng Wu, but Meng Wu hid behind a tree and was not hit.
Another gunshot was heard. Meng Wu stretched his head to see that Wei Zhong had shot himself.
"Fifth brother, this..."
Meng Wu glanced at the corpse on the ground, and for some reason, he felt a sense of sadness. At that moment, it was as if he were seeing his future self...
He said, "Let's find a place to bury the body, not a mass grave."
"Yes."
Sheng Zexi smashed the water cup beside him, his eyes bloodshot: "Bai Song! You wait for me!"
Yuncheng has both jade and opium, and fighting and killing have long been commonplace.
The death of a few outsiders did not cause any panic.
The two men Bai Xun sent to Yuncheng were named Sun Cheng and Guan Fang. They had fled famine to Jincheng, and if they hadn't met Bai Xun, they would have died of starvation or disease.
They wore tattered clothes and pretended to be refugees and entered the city.
I passed by a bun shop and bought a few big buns, then gave one to the old beggar at the door.
"Uncle, my brother and I are fleeing from a distant city. On the way, we heard someone say we can find work in Yuncheng. Do you know where they are hiring?" Sun Cheng wolfed down the buns.
The old beggar looked them up and down and said, "Okay, with your physiques, you can earn a living by doing hard labor. The Ge family's quarry is hiring workers, you two can give it a try."
Guan Fang handed the old beggar another bun and said, "Is there any easier work?"
The old beggar took the bun and said with a smile, "You're right, there really is one. The Bai family's kiln factory is also hiring. It's a little easier than the quarry, and I heard the pay is better. But Mr. Bai is very particular, and not everyone can get in. You can try it, just go to the Xunlong Jade Shop."
"This Boss Bai is also in the jade business? Isn't it said that the jade business in Yuncheng is dominated by the Ge family?" Guan Fang asked.
"Oh, that's a long story. The one who partnered with Mr. Bai to open the jade shop was from the Ge family, but he was a branch of the Ge family, named Ge Longjiang. Who would help outsiders steal their own business?
The head of the Ge family was so angry that he removed Ge Longjiang from the Ge family tree a few days ago. When you go there, don't mention anything about the Ge family, so as not to offend him. Also, I am telling you two because I think you two are friendly.
"A few days ago, the Xunlong Jade Shop was robbed. They said they were from Yangcheng. There were five or six of them, all beaten to death by Boss Bai's men. Boss Bai is generous and pays well, but he's a very hard-nosed person. "If you work for him, be sure to be quick and clean," said the old beggar.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, old man."
After Guan Fang and Sun Cheng left, they called Bai Xun.
"Master, the eldest young master opened a jade shop in partnership with a man named Ge Longjiang. A few days ago, the eldest young master's men killed several thieves from Yangcheng."
Bai Xun's heart suddenly sank.
"Master, I heard that the eldest young master is hiring. If you want to continue investigating, we can take the opportunity to sneak in."
"Come back, don't worry about what happens next, I have my own arrangements. Be careful!" Bai Xun said.
"Yes."
Bai Xun sat in the chair in a daze.
He asked people to secretly investigate the source of opium in Yangcheng, and found Ge Longjiang, a jade merchant from Yuncheng, who also supplied the teahouse of the second master of the Sheng family.
My brother and Ge Longjiang’s jade business is probably just a cover.
The people he killed were probably sent by Sheng Zexi to track down Ge Longjiang.
No wonder my grandfather used opium to kill Nanchun. He must be very familiar with this thing.
Killing people without being seen, and controlling their minds...
Extremely vicious!
It's ridiculous!
A prominent family, a century-old family, a scholarly family...
On the surface, they acted regal and respectable, but behind the scenes, they were robbing graves, selling funerary objects, trafficking in opium, and taking human lives with a cold shoulder...
At this moment, Bai Xun hated his past self very much.
I don't hear what's going on outside the window, and I only read the books of sages and sages.
He did this because he knew that some of his ideas were different from those of his grandfather, grandmother, and brother.
He felt it didn't matter, so he chose to remain silent and escape.
Perhaps what is happening now is a punishment for him.
The evil that he closed his eyes, blocked his ears and pretended did not exist is now severely hurting the person he loves most.
Bai Xun covered his face in pain.
