Chapter 352: Chapter 348: Eradicating the Root of the Problem_1

“Speak! Who sent you?”

Jiang Sanlang kicks the man fiercely.

The man glanced around, his heart sinking, but he shouted with confidence, “Do you know who I am? Let me go! Or your Jiang family will pay!”

Jiang Sanlang’s face tightens with menace as he demands once again, “I’ll ask you one more time, who sent you here? What are you doing at my house?”

The man snorts contemptuously, “Who do you think you’re… Go ask your grandfather… ”

Before he could finish, a dagger is jammed into his thigh.

“Ahhhhh…” The man screams, his body writhing in pain.

Jiang Sanlang’s voice is chilling, “This is the last time I ask you, if you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll send you to the afterlife!”

The man finally yields, begging for mercy, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Don’t kill me… It is, it was Chen Guanglu who ordered us to kidnap somebody. He said to take your demon child as a sacrifice to the heavens.”

Jiang Sanlang suppresses his rage and asks, “Where is Chen Guanglu? Why didn’t he come?”

“He said everyone in the village knows him, so it wasn’t convenient for him to come, he told us to kidnap the person and rendezvous in Simen Town.” The man’s eyes dart around, he continues, “Chen Guanglu is a favored man in front of the Commandery Prince now, you, an insignificant commoner who offended him, I’m afraid you’re in trouble… How about, I take you to him…”

Seeing Jiang Sanlang deep in thought, the man adds, “But, Chen Guanglu is very secretive about his whereabouts, without me leading the way, you’d definitely not be able to find him.”

“Fine, you can lead the way.” Jiang Sanlang doesn’t miss the quick flash of triumph in the man’s eyes.

He pulls out the dagger, and suddenly plunges it into the man’s heart.

If he refuses to tell the truth, there’s no use keeping him around.

Then, Jiang Sanlang puts the bodies of the three men into sacks, tells his young daughter to go ahead, and plans to release them in the chaotic graveyard.

Although Yingbao was nervous, she calmly left the cave, carrying a sack on her back to a cemetery far from the village.

Only after releasing her father and the three bodies did Yingbao start to feel her legs shaking.

From now on, she dared not enter the cave alone.

Jiang Sanlang digs a grave in silence and buries the three sacks deep inside.

Seeing his young daughter trembling, he reassures her, “Baobao, don’t be afraid. These people are villains. If we don’t nip this in the bud today, our family will never have peace.”

Yingbao nodded again and again.

She also felt these people deserved to die. They actually had the audacity to barge into her home and kidnap someone in broad daylight! How brazen could they be?

Once the sacks were buried, Baobao rushed to release her mother.

Chunniang had already woken up and knew that her husband had killed the bandits, so she didn’t ask any further. She washed her hands and face and started cooking, but the pancakes were a little burnt.

The next day, Jiang Sanlang quietly left the village with his daughter.

Early in the morning, Yingbao had stowed the Red Date Horse in the cave. After leaving the village on foot with her father, they released the horse in a place where the villagers couldn’t see, both father and daughter rode the horse towards Simen Town.

Whether Chen Guanglu were in Simen Town or not, Jiang Sanlang wanted to go and see for himself.

Yesterday’s events served as a wake-up call. His family had already made an enemy of the Chen family. If he allowed Chen to continue his reckless actions, it would be his family that was doomed.

Over an hour later, father and daughter arrived in Simen Town.

Now, Yingbao was dressed as a boy with broad drawn brows and a layer of brown blush applied to her face, effectively disguising her as a boy.

Jiang Sanlang too, disguised himself. The rough eyebrows he’d drawn, the black ring around his mouth, the shiny hat on his head, and the umbrella on his back—he looked like a distant traveler.

Yingbao took the horse away and, with her father, started to wander around in Simen Town.
