Chapter 273 The Tunnel is Discovered
"Humph! You're running pretty fast! I want to see who has the ability to dig such a tunnel outside the city. If I'm right, this tunnel should be able to lead directly into the city, right?"
The leader had just slapped Manager Zhou to the ground. After he said this, he walked towards Manager Zhou who was lying on the ground. Just as he was about to lift Manager Zhou's face to see who this person was, he sensed a strange breath.
"Who is there?"
He suddenly stood up and looked towards his thirty-odd subordinates.
Just now, Lin Xi saw these people stopped and quietly moved behind them. Knowing that these people had strong internal strength, she was afraid of being noticed by them, so she flashed into the boundary bead.
As soon as she entered the boundary bead, the leader raised his head and looked over here, which made Lin Xi inside the boundary bead exclaim: "What a close call!"
"Boss, it's us. There's no one else here. We're all brothers!"
A strong man holding a torch looked around and respectfully reported to the leader.
The leader narrowed his eyes, held a torch and walked around the place where Lin Xi had just stayed. After checking for a while, he suddenly ordered his subordinates: "Ten people go to the tunnel entrance and ask the brothers guarding there if there was anyone who appeared just now!"
One of the men bowed and accepted the order, then quickly rushed towards the tunnel entrance with nine people!
Lin Xi, who was watching all this inside the boundary bead, secretly sighed that this person was really cautious. She looked at the ten people who fainted inside the boundary bead and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had just returned to the entrance of the tunnel and brought these people in, otherwise she would have been exposed. She came out in the middle of the night this time and did not expect to meet anyone, so she did not disguise herself.
"Manager Zhou?"
At this time, the leader in the tunnel picked up Manager Zhou who was lying on the ground, and after seeing his appearance clearly, he blurted out.
"Hey! Hey! Brother, do you know me? I have never seen you before. I don't know why you attacked me and injured me so badly?"
Shopkeeper Zhou stopped pretending to be unconscious and coughed twice while a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he felt very regretful. It was all his fault that he was obsessed with medicine. He only learned Qinggong and cultivated internal strength, but did not practice martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have been caught by these people today.
"Of course I know Manager Zhou. He's the Regent's man, so how could we not know him?"
The leader raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.
I didn't expect that I would catch Jun Moyue's confidant by accident. It's really great, it really came without any effort!
Ever since the Huo family and other four families were destroyed and the master's treasure cave was stolen, his master wanted to capture Jun Moyue's confidants for interrogation, but it was difficult to catch them without alerting others. Who would have thought that Shopkeeper Zhou would come to his door tonight!
Shopkeeper Zhou has been with Jun Moyue since he was a child, so he must know a lot of things. If one can get Jun Moyue's secrets out of him, the master will definitely reward him handsomely.
After the Huo family and other four families were destroyed last time, Jun Moyue's people took over all the industries of the four mansions. The master does not want to reveal his identity now, so he has to order them not to quarrel with Jun Moyue's people. Now they cannot disobey the orders of the regent openly.
Jun Moyue sent people to take over the industries of the four mansions, and also sent people to infiltrate some brothels and gambling houses opened by the master in Guandong Prefecture. The head of the Huo family knew about these industries. The master's other industries in Guandong Prefecture were all normal and were not discovered by Jun Moyue's people.
The master thus guessed that even if the destruction of the four mansions of the Huo family was not done by Jun Moyue himself, the person who did it must be someone Jun Moyue knew, and this person must have told Jun Moyue all the information he had obtained from the mouth of the head of the Huo family.
Now we don’t know whether the things in the treasure cave were stolen by Jun Moyue’s people or by the person who destroyed the Huo family.
After thinking about it, he looked at Shopkeeper Zhou, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Jun Moyue had entrusted all the affairs of Lin'an County to Shopkeeper Zhou, so he must know the inside story!
"Since you know I'm the Regent's man, why don't you leave quickly? This tunnel was dug by the Regent's orders, how can we allow you to come in casually!"
Shopkeeper Zhou flicked his sleeves, raised his head and chest and shouted loudly and rudely.
I hope these people can leave quickly and not run into Miss Lin Xi. This guy’s martial arts are so powerful, how could Miss Lin Xi possibly be his opponent.
Shopkeeper Zhou was secretly worried, fearing that these people would capture Lin Xi as well.
"Leave? Shopkeeper Zhou is right. We need to leave quickly and find a place to have a good talk with Shopkeeper Zhou!"
The leader looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and smiled.
They had to quickly take Shopkeeper Zhou back to their own territory, otherwise if Jun Moyue's people arrived, it would be difficult for them to escape!
After thinking about it, he ordered his men, "Come here! Bring Shopkeeper Zhou with you. Let's retreat!"
After saying that, he said hypocritically to Shopkeeper Zhou, "I'm sorry," then turned around and led the way out of the tunnel.
Just now, while this person was talking to Manager Zhou and his attention was on Manager Zhou, Lin Xi had quietly left the boundary bead, held his breath, and flew towards the tunnel entrance with both feet off the ground.
By the time these people brought Manager Zhou out of the tunnel, the ten people who had just come out to check had already been dealt with by Lin Xi and thrown into the boundary bead!
Seeing these people coming out, Lin Xi flew to a big tree not far away, entered the boundary bead again, and observed them secretly.
When the leader came out just now, he felt something was wrong when he saw it was so quiet outside, so he sent ten more people to check the nearby area.
As a result, only one of the ten people sent out returned. This person clasped his fists toward the leader and reported, "Boss, Wang Er and the others are nowhere to be seen!"
"Where are the nine people who went with you to check?"
The leader asked in a low voice with a gloomy expression.
"Boss, haven't they come back yet? We just split up and looked around. They're not far away, and I didn't hear anything wrong!"
The man said with a pale face.
Twenty-nine people disappeared silently, this is really weird!
Just at this moment, a cold wind blew, making the leaves rustle. In the quiet night, it made people's scalps tingle. Except for the leader, the remaining twenty people huddled together, shivering and looking at their surroundings.
