Chapter 31 A Rich Harvest, Burning the Account Book
After confirming that Xu Ying had no ability to resist, Zhao Ya turned around and started to deal with the other people in the room.
With Zhao Ya's current strength, it was no problem to deal with these gangsters.
In just a few moments, Zhao Ya had easily dealt with everyone.
But this was not over yet. Zhao Ya took out a short knife and scratched the wounds of each corpse.
The reason why Zhao Ya did this was to cover up the traces of the meteorite knife.
Although the possibility was very low, if someone could see the clues from the wounds of these corpses, it would be a big hidden danger for him.
After doing all this, Zhao Ya stood up and came close to Xu Ying.
At this time, Xu Ying's face was extremely pale because of excessive blood loss, and even his lips had lost their color.
He could only stare at the man in black in front of him with horror, but he couldn't even say a word of begging for mercy.
Because Xu Ying knew very well that he couldn't escape today anyway, and this man in black would definitely take his life.
After all, he could not tire of finishing off a dead body, which showed his calm and ruthless character.
Xu Ying misunderstood what Zhao Ya had done just now, and thought that Zhao Ya was afraid that there were people who were not completely dead, so he was finishing off.
Zhao Ya ignored Xu Ying's gaze, and he used a short knife to lift the cuff of Xu Ying's broken hand, and there was a crossbow hidden inside.
Zhao Ya reached out and took it, and looked at it in his hand.
This crossbow was made of metal, silver-white, and small and exquisite. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.
Zhao Ya simply couldn't let it go.
You know, what Zhao Ya lacks most now is the means of long-range attack.
Although this crossbow can't make up for it completely, it is still a good way to save his life.
Zhao Ya carefully put it into the deerskin bag, put on gloves and pulled out the crossbow arrows from the two unlucky guys.
Sure enough.
The arrows of the two crossbow arrows were dangerous blue-gray, and they were obviously poisoned.
Zhao Ya wrapped it with two layers of oilcloth before putting it in his bag.
After dealing with these, Zhao Ya came to Xu Ying again and was surprised to find that he was not dead yet. Instead, he looked at Zhao Ya with extremely resentful eyes and his lips trembled constantly.
Zhao Ya did not answer, but directly used a short knife to open Xu Ying's clothes.
Zhao Ya knew that for a person like Xu Ying, precious items would definitely be carried with him.
Because he didn't trust anyone.
Sure enough.
There was a small package hidden in Xu Ying's chest. Zhao Ya opened it with gloves and his eyes lit up.
There was a thick stack of silver bills inside, each of which was 50 taels in denomination.
Added up to as much as 700 to 800 taels.
At the same time, there was an account book under these silver bills.
Zhao Ya flipped it open casually and remembered that it was the record of the Shuangsheng Gang's loan.
On March 18, the Tong family's medicine shop in Sanli Street in the east of the city borrowed 18 taels of silver. Now 35 taels have been paid back, and 28 taels are still owed. The Tong family can no longer repay, so the medicine shop is sold at a low price, and the wife and daughter are sent to the brothel to sell their flesh to pay off the debt. One month later, the wife and daughter both died.
On April 23, the Li family in the oil mill in the north of the city...
There is not only an IOU, but also a detailed cause and effect, as well as how it was dealt with in the end.
Zhao Ya didn't know why Xu Ying recorded these things in such detail.
But any one of them would be enough to kill Xu Ying twice.
And there is a thick book of similar records.
Zhao Ya squatted down and looked at Xu Ying, who was lingering on.
"Did you do all this?"
"Yes!" At this time, Xu Ying already knew that he had no chance of survival, so he spoke very straightforwardly.
"I recorded these to let those who don't pay their debts see what the consequences of offending my Shuangsheng Gang are."
At this point, Xu Ying's face turned red and stared at Zhao Ya viciously.
"You too, don't think that killing me is the end of the matter. Sooner or later, someone will take care of you for me. Just wait."
"Are you talking about the backer you have been supporting with a lot of money?" Zhao Ya said lightly.
Xu Ying's eyes widened instantly, as if he had never expected Zhao Ya to say such a thing.
"It's actually not hard to guess. Judging from the profits of your casino and the dirty money from loan sharks, your savings should be much more than this, so most of the income of your Shuangsheng Gang should be handed over to your backer!"
"Haha, it's good to know. I tell you, the backer of my Shuangsheng Gang is someone you can't afford to offend."
Zhao Ya nodded, "I believe this, but the question is... why should I offend him?"
"Now you and your gang are all dead, and there is no trace of any trace. No matter how powerful your backer is, he can't find me."
"And you don't really believe that your backer will go to war for you!"
Zhao Ya sneered at this.
"After all... in the eyes of your backers, you may just be a dog."
Xu Ying's eyes gradually became weak, and the only redness on his face was disappearing quickly, just like his life.
But even so, he still stared at Zhao Ya unwillingly, as if he wanted to see through the face under the black scarf.
Zhao Ya naturally would not leave any hidden dangers, and raised his knife to slash across.
Xu Ying's throat was cut in an instant, but because of excessive blood loss, not much blood flowed out even so.
Xu Ying died.
Zhao Ya checked carefully again, and after confirming that there was no mistake, he left through the back window and returned home the same way.
It was almost dawn when he got home. Zhao Ya simply stopped sleeping and took stock of the gains from this trip.
The biggest gain from this trip was naturally the thick stack of silver bills. This silver was enough to support Zhao Ya's practice for a period of time.
Zhao Ya put away the silver bills properly, and burned the account book with the IOU.
After doing this, Zhao Ya put on gloves again, carefully took out the crossbow, and then installed two crossbow arrows, aimed at a broken door panel and pulled the trigger.
With two crisp clicks, the crossbow arrows directly pierced through the door panel, and the arrowhead penetrated more than an inch deep.
This power made Zhao Ya quite satisfied.
Not to mention the poison on the arrowhead, this power alone is enough to take a person's life.
It's a pity that it's quite troublesome to load the arrow on this crossbow, but it's always good to use it to save your life at a critical moment.
Zhao Ya put away the crossbow.
At this time, the sky was bright. Tang Zui'er got up and saw Zhao Ya, who was in high spirits, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother Ya, why did you get up so early today?"
"Well, there is something going on at the escort agency today, so I have to go a little earlier." Zhao Ya made up an excuse.
Tang Zui'er would not doubt it and immediately started to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhao Ya came to the escort agency.
"Good morning, Brother Zhao!"
"Good morning, Brother Zhao!"
Since entering the escort agency, the voices of greeting have not stopped.
Everyone who sees Zhao Ya will say hello.
Zhao Ya also responded with a smile, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't have such a high popularity before.
