My wife is a reborn big boss

"Brother Xu only has one wound on his chest, and judging from the shape of the wound, it should be from a single-edged dagger, but the murder weapon is missing. Furthermore, there is another matter that I do not know."

Wu Qiong continued, "Master, are you asking why we didn't notice the murderer committing the crime?"

"That's right." Jie Se clasped his hands together, his expression solemn. "Brother Xu's room is right next to mine, but I didn't notice anything. But even if I didn't notice anything, Brother Wu, you shouldn't have been unaware."

They were all at the "Unity of Heaven and Man" cultivation level. Even if the thunderstorm affected their senses, Wu Qiong was at the Innate Realm! How could he not notice?

"I have just entered this realm and have not yet fully mastered myself, so I did not realize it," Wu Qiong explained.

"I see." Jie Se glanced at him, not continuing the question: "Brother Xu's wound was from top to bottom, a fatal blow, and there were no signs of resistance inside the house. This indicates that either the killer was highly skilled, or..."

He committed suicide.

"Brother Xu was murdered." Wu Qiong interrupted Jie Se, staring intently at him, and said, word by word, "He left us clues."

The person trying to quit pornography asked doubtfully, "That note? What clues could a few numbers possibly hold?"

Wu Qiong sighed, "This riddle is so simple, there's no need to even think about it. Master, have you forgotten the question Brother Xu asked us when we met today?"

A fish was bought for eight coins, sold for nine coins, bought again for ten coins, and sold again for eleven coins, making a profit of a few coins.

Jie Se paused, then slowly shifted his gaze to the group that had just arrived, where a middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman stood.

"How should I address you, benefactor?"

The fisherman asked cautiously, "My name is Ren Fan. What can I do for you, Master?"

"Benefactor Ren," Jie Se lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Where were you between Hai hour and Yin hour?"

"I'm innocent, Master!" Ren Fan's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he knelt down. "I went to bed after dinner tonight, I really didn't do anything!"

Abstinence remained silent. Ye Qingxuan, with a gentle expression, helped Ren Fan up, saying, "Don't be nervous, we were just asking casually."

Then he changed the subject: "May I ask where Brother Ren lives?"

Ren Fan whispered, "My home is in the village."

"Oh? Then why doesn't Brother Ren go home to live, but instead stays at the inn?" Ye Qingxuan's voice was gentle and warm, without a trace of worldliness.

"To let you know, Master, I drank a little too much wine at dinner, and the rain was too heavy, so I decided to stay at the inn for the night and go home first thing tomorrow morning. I really wasn't the murderer! I live on the first floor, and I'm just a nobody at the 'Condensation of Meridians' stage. How could I possibly kill Master Xu without alerting you all!"

Ye Qingxuan and the others turned to look at Wu Qiong.

Holding the note in his hand, Wu Qiong spoke softly, "Ren Fan, where were you two years ago today?"

"I...I was at the temple fair in Anzhou City at the time!" Ren Fan said, somewhat flustered.

"Oh? Then may I ask, Brother Ren..." Wu Qiong slowly approached, a strange smile on his face: "Was there a little girl with you at the time?"

Ren Fan suddenly looked up: "I..."

The moment he uttered the word "I," Wu Qiong's palm was already pressed against his lower abdomen.

"Ugh..." Ren Fan collapsed to the ground in pain.

His martial arts skills have been completely destroyed.

The proprietress's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran over to support Ren Fan. She discovered that Ren Fan's dantian was shattered, and almost all of his bones were broken.

"Young Master Wu! You..." She wanted to question Wu Qiong, but when she met his emotionless gaze, she couldn't finish her sentence.

Wu Qiong said leisurely, "Brother Ren, if you tell me where the little girl you kidnapped two years ago is, maybe I'll be in a better mood and won't kill her?"

"Hehe, Young Master Wu, we are all sensible people." Ren Fan, pale-faced and enduring the pain in his body, said, "You are unfathomable, and I certainly wouldn't dare to seek revenge against you. But I am already a cripple, so what difference does it make whether I live or die? Young Master, you are mistaken if you think you can threaten me with my worthless life."

"No, Brother Ren is mistaken." Wu Qiong smiled gently: "What I mean is, if you tell me, I will spare the lives of dozens of people in this village."

Ren Fan and the proprietress exchanged a glance, then Ren Fan said dejectedly, "Alright, actually I don't know either."

Zzzzz!

A flash of sword light, and Ren Fan's two legs were severed at the root.

Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Please continue."

"Heh...heh..." Ren Fan's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Young Master Wu! I really don't know! I was originally going to sell that little girl! But while I was out on business, she ran away with those kids! I really don't know where she is, Young Master Wu!"

"Oh?" Wu Qiong scratched his chin. "Does she have any birthmarks or anything like that?"

"Yes, yes!" Ren Fan struggled to say, "That little girl kept making a fuss, so I whipped her, and it happened to hit the back of her right hand! She didn't get any treatment afterward, so there should be a scar on the back of her right hand!"

"..." Wu Qiong remained silent.

Isn't that the little girl who stole his purse back then?!

He glanced at Xu Qingyuan's corpse on the ground.

Brother Xu, I'll make arrangements for your daughter. Rest in peace...

Wu Qiong casually finished off Ren Fan with a burst of energy, then said listlessly, "Boss lady, the rain has stopped. Could you please take some men to bury Brother Xu's body behind the inn?"

The proprietress didn't dare say anything and hurriedly left with the group to dig a pit in the back.

"It's almost dawn." Wu Qiong turned and left. "We should get going."

The group of abstainers followed him in silence.

Half an hour later, in the carriage, Jie Se couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Wu, Brother Xu... he committed suicide, didn't he? And..."

Wu Qiong continued, "Besides, Brother Xu had planned this all along, hadn't he? He couldn't get revenge himself, so he came after us. Why would a car dealership owner like him just happen to be waiting there today?"

"When was that?"

When did you make that decision?

Wu Qiong shook his head and said, "It was probably the day of the chaos in the capital. At that time, Master and Brother Dao were assisting the government in maintaining order, so he must have seen it."

"He's gambling, gambling that we'll avenge him..." Jie Se sighed deeply. "Brother Wu, you saw it when we were drinking last night, didn't you? Why didn't you stop him?"

Wu Qiong calmly said, "He already has the will to die. Can I stop him? Ren Fan abducted his daughter and destroyed his family. What's the difference between that and killing him with my own hands? Besides, the families destroyed by him are definitely not limited to Brother Xu's family."

He suddenly thought of something and shook his head: "Ren Fan's name is really interesting. Ren Fan, human trafficker, hey! This Shiliu Village should just be renamed Human Trafficker Village."

"So Brother Wu saw it too," Ye Qingxuan said gently. "The people at that inn are all in cahoots with Ren Fan, except for those two friends who copied the manual."

Jiese frowned: "Brother Wu, why did you let them go?"

Li Jianshi glared at him with her beautiful eyes: "My poor brother has his reasons for doing this. If you're unhappy, go back and take action yourself!"

Su Mubai said to Wu Qiong, "If you don't want to get your hands dirty, I can go. I'll do this for you."

Wu Qiong shook his head and laughed, "No rush, they won't have a good ending."

A ray of sunlight shone down, and he looked up, murmuring, "The sky has cleared..."

.........

Inside the inn, everyone gathered together.

Oh, except for those two who are still copying books inside.

"Boss lady, what should we do?" the waiter asked softly.

He wasn't asking about revenge. After all, everyone was smart enough; it was just the death of one brother, and they didn't dare to cause trouble for Wu Qiong and his group.

"We can't stay here anymore," the landlady sighed. "The brothers finally found a place to stay, but this intruder has ruined it all."

That's right, this was originally an ordinary little village. A few years ago, a group of bandits slaughtered the entire village, then took over and settled down there. After that, they stopped robbing and looting, and instead opened a black market and engaged in human trafficking.

The landlady continued, "Tell everyone to pack your belongings and leave immediately. We'll find a mountain to hide in for a couple of days and see how things go."

"No need," a strange female voice said.

Pfft!

The proprietress slowly lowered her head, looking at the knife tip protruding from her chest. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Lu Xiaohuang pulled the long knife out of the landlady's body, looked at the stunned crowd, and said coldly, "His Majesty has ordered that not a single person in Shiliu Village be spared."

Then she suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, there are two guys copying books in the inn. Take them back with you, and the rest... we don't need."

"Yes." Countless embroidered guards dressed in black rushed into Shiliu Village. Perhaps after today, this village will no longer exist.

Behind the inn, under the willow tree, a tombstone stands quietly.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the willows swayed in the wind, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling on the tombstone.

Listening to the screams coming from all over the village, and the dappled sunlight on the tombstones swaying gently, perhaps it was laughing?
