Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 184 Xu Lin's Unsolvable Overt Scheme

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in?"

Emerald Tiger was startled by what he heard, and upon seeing Qian Sha, he questioned him sharply.

Qian Sha was surrounded by a murderous aura, which made him very nervous, and his fat body trembled incessantly.

After saying this, Emerald Tiger, quick-witted, grabbed a wine bottle from the side and smashed it to the ground.

boom!
The fine wooden floor was smashed, leaving a dent, and vintage wine was spilled all over the floor.

The guard outside the door sensed something was wrong upon hearing the noise. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Sha. He immediately went to find the expert responsible for protecting Emerald Manor.

Before long, two middle-aged men with deep, even breathing entered the Jade Tiger's bedroom.

Emerald Tiger has managed to stall until now thanks to his silver tongue.

Upon seeing the two middle-aged men, Emerald Tiger breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and quickly left the bedroom.

"It would be best if we could capture them alive!"

"Iron Tiger said as he walked."

"promise!"

The two middle-aged men nodded in unison.

Qian Sha smiled coldly when he saw that the two of them were only at the peak of the Innate Realm.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill Emerald Tiger because he wanted to know what Emerald Tiger's trump card was.

That's all they have up their sleeve?

As soon as Jade Tiger escaped from the bedroom, he was blocked by Flame Spirit Princess.

"Lord Jade Tiger, it's been a long time."

"Does Lord Jade Tiger still remember me?"

"I am a woman disguised as a man," Yan Lingji asked with a charming smile.

She was wearing Xu Lin's long robe, which, although not form-fitting, had a unique charm.

"Who are you, young lady?"

The jade tiger looked in the direction of the sound and stared wide-eyed.

Yan Lingji has excellent skin, delicate features, and an ethereal temperament. Although the long robe does not accentuate her figure, it is still clear that Yan Lingji has a good figure.

As Jade Tiger looked Yan Lingji up and down, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

He was debating whether to give Yan Ling Ji to Ji Wu Ye or keep her for himself!

Just as Jade Tiger was about to stay behind, Flame Spirit Princess suddenly took out the Fire Spirit Hairpin from her sleeve.

"Is my sister pretty?"

Yan Lingji smiled charmingly and asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she made a gesture with her delicate hand, setting the jade tiger's clothes ablaze from a distance.

Upon witnessing this scene, the guards nearby were shocked and immediately turned and ran towards the gate.

Some fled for their lives, while others went to warn the Nightfall, but without exception, they all died under the swords of the Luo Wang assassins.

There are nearly a hundred assassins from the Luo Wang organization outside Emerald Manor. Where can they run?

……

After a cup of tea.

Jade Tiger and the others all died.

After confirming that no one had escaped, Qian Sha ordered a search of the house to begin.

"What percentage does Deputy Commander Xu want this time?"

Qian Sha looked at the still-burning jade tiger corpse and asked expressionlessly.

Because the jade tiger is too fat, it is estimated that it can burn for another half an hour.

"My benefactor said that one-tenth is enough."

Yan Lingji answered.

Qian Sha nodded.

……

Half an hour later.

The assassins from the Luo Wang organization found gold and silver artifacts worth nearly ten thousand taels of gold.

After faintly hearing the woman's cries for help, Yan Lingji frowned slightly.

Then he let Qian Sha and the others leave first.

After Qian Sha and the others had gone far away, Yan Lingji followed the sound and headed towards the backyard.

Before long, she found dozens of women tied to pillars in the cellar.

The youngest was only a little over ten years old, and the oldest was no more than thirty.

"Were you all kidnapped?"

While rescuing people, Yan Lingji asked questions.

The women nodded in agreement.

"The Emerald Tiger is dead. You can go home now."

Yan Lingji said solemnly.

The women were first stunned, then shocked, hardly believing their ears. Seeing the still-burning jade tiger's corpse, many returned to the cellar and bowed deeply to Yan Lingji in gratitude.

Yan Lingji was startled upon seeing this and immediately helped the women up.

She saved these women not to receive gratitude, but because she was subtly influenced by Xu Lin and believed in the principle of "when you are successful, you should help others."

……

After half a stick of incense.

Yan Lingji left Emerald Manor together with the woman in the cellar.

She didn't set fire to Emerald Manor because Xu Lin was the 'oriole' who unaware of the mantis'.

Jade Tiger committed numerous atrocities in Nanyang, and countless people hated him to the bone, but they dared not speak out against him!

So soon, news of Jade Tiger's death spread throughout Nanyang.

Zhang Liang, who was investigating the case of Jade Tiger abducting a woman in Nanyang, frowned upon hearing about this.

Then he rode his horse to Emerald Manor.

When Zhang Liang arrived at Emerald Manor, it was already overcrowded with people, and countless people were looting and vandalizing inside.

After confirming that Jade Tiger and nearly a hundred guards of Jade Manor had been killed, Zhang Liang immediately wrote a letter to the governor of Nanyang.

Jade Tiger deserved to die, but the things in Jade Manor shouldn't be robbed by the common people like this.

After finding the body of the jade tiger, Zhang Liang traveled day and night, riding his horse back to Xinzheng.

……

Two days later.

The sun is setting in the west.

Zhang Liang entered the Ninth Prince's residence and told Han Fei about the murder of Emerald Tiger and nearly a hundred guards of Emerald Manor.

News of Jade Tiger's murder had not yet reached Xinzheng, so Han Fei was startled when he heard this.

"Jade Tiger and all his guards were killed?"

"Who did it?"

Han Fei dismissed his attendants and asked incredulously.

Emerald Tiger is one of the Four Fiends of the Night, and killing him is no easy task!

In South Korea, those capable of wiping out the entire Jade Tiger family and unafraid of Ji Wuye can be counted on one hand.

Zhang Liang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Son."

"Could it be the Iron Blood Alliance?"

"That Jade Tiger guy likes to gamble, could it be that he lost a bet?"

Zhang Liang asked while thinking.

"Not too possible."

Han Fei shook his head.

He thought it was impossible for two reasons.

First, the life of the jade tiger is not valuable; the jade tiger has never gambled with anyone's life.

Secondly, even if Jade Tiger is provoked and really gambles with his life, what does that have to do with the guards in his mansion?

The other party only killed Emerald Tiger and his guards, but did not take away Emerald Manor. Lanxiu Manor in Xinzheng remained unchanged, which shows that this matter was probably unrelated to the Iron Blood Alliance!
"If it's not the Iron Blood Alliance, then who else could it be?"

Zhang Liang looked puzzled.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly thought of someone.

"Son."

"Could Xu Lin be the mastermind behind this?"

Zhang Liang asked in a deep voice.

Why do you think it could be him?

Han Fei frowned slightly.

"Xu Lin, as an important minister of Qin, suddenly risked his life to come to Xinzheng, which must be for the purpose of weakening Han."

"Jade Tiger is one of the four fierce generals of Nightfall. Killing Jade Tiger would undoubtedly weaken Nightfall."

“Young master, as we discussed last time, Xu Lin was watching from the sidelines. His sudden move now is likely because the Quicksand faction is gradually losing ground.”

"The battle between Quicksand and Nightfall was one-sided, which was something Xu Lin definitely didn't want to see, so he chose to take action and eliminate Emerald Tiger."

Zhang Liang analyzed.

Han Fei nodded thoughtfully, finding some merit in Zhang Liang's words, and asked Zhang Liang to continue.

"There is another possibility."

"That means Xu Lin has long disliked that Jade Tiger bastard."

"Jade Tiger bullies men and women all day long, and he is even worse than Liu Yi."

Zhang Liang continued.

Han Fei nodded in agreement.

Regardless of Xu Lin's motives, the sudden killing of Emerald Tiger is a good thing for Quicksand!
