"Who are you, and what are you trying to do by hiding in my study?" Ye Zhuo mobilized his inner strength and secretly warned.
"Please be patient, Lord Marquis. I am waiting here tonight for two main purposes. One is to get the deed of the house."
After one of the ghost-faced men finished speaking, he casually took off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face. This man was Xiao Yunhan's personal bodyguard An Shuo.
Qin immediately showed a surprised expression, pointed at An Shuo, and exclaimed: "You... you are the buyer who paid a thousand taels of deposit this morning!"
An Shuo curled his lips and said, "Madam, you have a good memory."
Hearing this, Ye Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Are you two the killers of Netherworld Pavilion?"
An Shuo and the other two nodded and said, "Exactly."
Ye Zhuo took out a house deed from a rosewood box in the study, waved it in front of An Shuo and the others, and said, "As long as you two help me kill Ye Chanyi from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, this house deed will be given to me." It is yours, and I will no longer pursue the remaining eighty thousand taels."
Ye Zhuo's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of calculation. At this time, he was so sick that he rushed to the doctor and didn't care to delve into the reason for the other party's early transaction.
Seeing that the other two didn't say a word for a long time, Ye Zhuo continued to persuade: "Eighty thousand taels for Ye Chanyi's life, where can I find such a good thing? What do you have to hesitate about."
An Shuo's lips curved into a hint of sarcasm, "If that person is so easy to deal with, how could the Marquis be willing to bleed like this?"
Ye Zhuo suddenly stiffened his face, gritted his teeth, and continued: "As long as you help me kill Ye Chanyi, in addition to the house deed, I will get another fifty thousand taels."
The mockery on An Shuo's face became even stronger, "The Marquis is really spending a lot of money! I have to say that the conditions offered by the Marquis are indeed very tempting. It's a pity..."
An Shuo deliberately let it slip. Ye Zhuo's heart suddenly sank and he subconsciously said, "What's the pity?"
Another ghost-faced man added: "This is the second purpose of our coming here, and that is to send you to death!"
When Ye Zhuo and Qin heard this, they both felt cold.
"I have no enmity with you, why do you want to kill me? Could it be that you were ordered by Ye Chanyi?" Ye Zhuo said angrily.
At this time, Ye Zhuo clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was full of surprise.
Although he has made countless enemies over the years, he has always been bold and ruthless, and he has always adhered to the principle of eradicating the roots of his enemies. Currently, only Ye Chanyi has the ability to hire people from Netherworld Pavilion to kill him.
An Shuo snorted coldly and did not answer, but he was cursing in his heart.
Miss Ye is very likely to be our future mistress. You are half right.
"How much money did Ye Chanyi pay you? I am willing to give you another fifty thousand taels! You kill her for me!" Seeing Anshuo's silence, Ye Zhuo gave way again.
Another ghost-faced man next to him said impatiently to An Shuo: "Okay, stop teasing, finish your work quickly, it's time to go back and report to the master!"
Hearing this, An Shuo's expression suddenly became cold and solemn, and his voice was filled with a bone-chilling chill.
"Master Marquis, the terms you offered are very tempting, but it's a pity that no matter what price you offer, both of us will have to kill you today!"
Ye Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and then he laughed angrily and said: "Although you two are not weak in strength, they may not be my opponent if they join forces. It is not certain who will win the battle later!"
An Shuo smiled coldly, "With Master Hou's skills, you can escape even if you are defeated, but..."
An Shuo paused for a moment, and when Ye Zhuo was unprepared, he moved. When Ye Zhuo felt something was wrong, the next moment, An Shuo had already rushed in front of Qin, and a dagger was instantly placed on her neck. .
Feeling the cold feeling of the dagger on her neck, Qin was so frightened that she cried out.
"Master Hou, you must save me! I don't want to die yet!"
"You must not hurt my wife. I have no enmity with Netherworld Pavilion. You are just trying to make money. I will give you all my wealth now. Please let me and my wife go!"
Ye Zhuo has always cherished the Qin family the most. Seeing the Qin family being captured, he was immediately worried, fearing that the Qin family would be harmed.
At that moment, he very quickly presented the wooden box from which he had taken out the house deed to An Shuo. After opening it, he hurriedly said: "Here are all my belongings. As long as you let me and my wife go, these will all belong to you." That’s it.”
An Shuo glanced at the thick stack of banknotes in the wooden box, each with a denomination of one thousand taels, and an unknown smile appeared on his lips.
Anshuo stretched out his hand to take the wooden box, but Ye Zhuo sidestepped to avoid it. Then he saw Qin's frightened and miserable eyes, and he could only sigh and surrender.
An Shuo took the wooden box and counted the banknotes inside. There were exactly twenty.
An Shuo chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes here will be used as your lost gambling money and will be handed over to Miss Ye in full. You can rest in peace."
"What did you say?"
Ye Zhuo's eyes widened, and he was so angry that his chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and he opened his mouth and gasped.
After a busy day today, he sold off all the valuable antiques and furniture in the house, and finally collected two hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Now that they were all going to fall into the hands of his enemies, how could he not be angry.
When he thought of all the humiliations that Ye Chanyi had inflicted on him before, Ye Zhuo's anger was as intense as if he had been drenched in tung oil.
Having lost his mind, he couldn't care less about Qin's life and death, so he immediately stepped forward to fight for his life.
However, just when Ye Zhuo was about to leave, he suddenly felt an unbearable itching all over his body, and he was scratching all over his body.
At this moment, the skin and flesh on Ye Zhuo's body were like weathered rags. Wherever he scratched, the flesh and blood quickly rolled around and blood flowed across it.
However, Ye Zhuo seemed to have lost his sense of pain and scratched even harder.
At first he complained of itching, then started to cry of pain, and finally fell to the ground. The scars on his body were shocking. Bones could be seen in many places, and blood flowed all over the floor. Finally, he rolled his eyes and died. .
Seeing such a tragic scene, Mrs. Qin was so excited that she fainted from fright.
Anshuo and An Shuo looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Seeing death, he was so dizzy that the ghost-faced man took off his mask, revealing a face as handsome as An Shuo's.
An Shuo glanced at the tragically dead Ye Zhuo, frowned, and said, "Fang Lin, what on earth is going on?"
Fang Lin pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, and he said, "By the way, when Ye Zhuo attacked Miss Ye secretly that day, he was stabbed by Miss Ye's silver needle. He must have been poisoned." To.”
Hearing this, An Shuo noticed that Ye Zhuo's originally exposed skin was covered with traces of ulcers.
