Chapter 390: Chapter 390. The Real Murderer Is Him?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“It’s that bastard. Why did he kill my mother? Why? My mother is so good and kind. How did she offend him? Bastard, bastard, I want to tear him apart.”

Zhong Yong saw his master through the tears flowing out of his eyes, and his roar was deafening. He gritted his teeth so hard that blood was pouring out of the corners of his eyes. If he could not find Qiu Yongkang, he would not be able to vent his hatred. He could not go to Aunt Qiu and the others to settle the score either. Zhong Yong was about to explode from holding it in.

“How do you know it’s him?”

Su Qing didn’t understand. Godmother and Qiu Yongkang didn’t interact much; could it be that she saw him colluding with a spy? He feared the matter would be exposed, so he killed his godmother?

“Yongkang’s cousin told me.”

Ji Shuisheng could not accept this matter either. He could not believe that his good friend, who had grown up, would become so deranged. He wanted to kill his godmother, who was aloof from the world?

“What did he say?”

Su Qing clenched her fists, regretting not capturing Qiu Yongkang earlier. If he escaped, there would be endless trouble.

“He’s not Qiu Yongkang’s cousin. That’s just what they call him. This Jiang Wu is a spy sent by Wan Shengchang to Mo City. His mission is to find the big killer weapon. Because he didn’t have the chance, he has been hiding until...” n(-0VElBIn

Ji Shuisheng told Su Qing about interrogating the fake cousin in a heavy voice. Only then did he understand why Qiu Yongkang betrayed him. It was because Jiang Wu had witnessed Qiu Yongkang killing people and threatened to help him find the killer weapon.

“How did he know who he killed?”

Su Qing frowned as she asked Ji Shuisheng. If he had killed an ordinary person, he wouldn’t have been able to threaten Qiu Yongkang at all. The problem was, how did this spy know that Qiu Yongkang had killed his godmother? And how did he know that he could use this to threaten Qiu Yongkang?

“When he saw Qiu Yongkang kill someone, he didn’t say anything and followed him secretly. When he saw our funeral, he knew this person was our godmother...”

The spy was quite tricky. After discovering that Qiu Yongkang had killed someone, he followed him quietly and found out who was killed. He only attacked after considering whether he could threaten Qiu Yongkang.

“But didn’t Second Brother Wu admit that he killed Godmother?”

Su Qing remembered Wu Laoer, who had been cut into eight pieces by her. At that time, Wu Laoer had personally admitted that he had killed her godmother and committed the other two murders in the city.

“I also find it strange. Why are there two murderers?”

This was also something that Ji Shuisheng could not understand, no matter how much he thought about it. Why would he admit it if Second Brother Wu did not kill anyone? However, if Qiu Yong Kang didn’t kill his godmother, why would his fake cousin threaten him?

“Once we capture Qiu Yongkang, everything will be clear.”

Su Qing’s cold eyes flashed with a sharp light. Unfortunately, he had escaped.

“I went to Jin City to investigate. He has never been to Jin City. Have the soldiers who were sent to Tartan to chase after him returned? Is there any news?”

Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng that he had gone to Jin City to kill the Zhizhou to create chaos and investigate Qiu Yongkang. Now, she hoped the soldiers chasing after Qiu Yongkang would have clues about him.

“No, they chased him to the border of Tartan but did not catch up to Qiu Yongkang. 1 plan to personally go to Tartan and give Yongkang’s portrait to the Third Prince so he can help find him.”

Ji Shuisheng took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in his heart. He only wanted to find Qiu Yongkang and ask him personally.

“Didn’t you send someone to follow him? How did he escape?”

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng and asked. Qiu Yongkang’s martial arts were average, so he couldn’t defeat a soldier who had been through hundreds of battles. How did he manage to shake off the two soldiers who were watching him and escape?

“He knocked out the two soldiers.”

Ji Shuisheng was furious just thinking about it. He never thought Qiu Yongkang would hide the knockout powder that Su Qing left for him. Who knew how many things he was hiding from him?

“Where’s the money? Where’s the money I asked him to keep?”

Su Qing thought about how Ji Shuisheng had always been responsible for the accounts and money. Would the money still be safe if he escaped?

“He took half of it.”

Ji Shuisheng’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Qiu Yongkang had taken away all the banknotes and a few gold bars. The remaining silver and copper coins were not easy to take away. He would not have left a single cent for Ji Shuisheng if he had not escaped in a hurry.

“A thousand taels of silver, how greedy.”

Su Qing sneered. Half of Mo City’s income was at least a thousand taels. He had probably planned to escape long ago.

“Go to Tartan immediately. You must not let him escape, or he will become your greatest enemy.”

Su Qing immediately decided to leave. She wanted to see Qiu Yongkang dead or alive. She had to get rid of him.

“I’ll go with you.”

Ji Shuisheng followed closely behind Su Qing. Zhong Yong jumped up and followed after them when he heard that they were going to capture Qiu Yongkang.

“I’m going too. I’m going to cut him into pieces.”

As soon as the three of them left the government office, they saw three people kneeling at the entrance of the government office. Old Master Qiu was kneeling in front with a head full of white hair and a lean face. Auntie Qiu and First Father Qiu were kneeling behind him with tears on their faces. When they saw Ji Shuisheng come out, Auntie Qiu crawled toward him and said,

“Shuisheng, please let Yongkang live because you’ve had Auntie’s milk.”

“Shuisheng, please spare Yongkang!”

Father Qiu kowtowed to the ground. He didn’t have much ability, but his son was his pride. He was still counting on his son to bring glory to his ancestors, but in the end, such a big thing happened?

Old Master Qiu begged Ji Shuisheng with tears in his eyes.

“Shuisheng, Grandpa is begging you to leave an heir for my family!”

They knew begging Su Qing was useless, so they hoped for Ji Shuisheng.

Ji Shuisheng looked at the Qiu Family members kneeling on the ground with a troubled expression. It was not that he wanted to pursue Qiu Yongkang, but Zhong Yong would not let him off.

Su Qing looked coldly at the three people who wanted to kidnap Ji Shuisheng. She didn’t want to make things difficult for Ji Shuisheng, so she said to them coldly,

“You don’t have to beg him. Qiu Yongkang killed my godmother, and he must die.”

“Su Qing, I helped you when you came to Peach Blossom Cove. I hope you can leave Yongkang alive so he can continue the Qiu family line.”

Auntie Qiu knew how to be cruel and merciless. She crawled towards her and wanted her to let Qiu Yongkang off because of her pitiful state.

“As long as you can resurrect my godmother, I won’t take his life. Since ancient times, a life for a life, your son has to pay the price for killing my godmother. If not for our past relationship, 1 would use your lives to bring your son back.”

Su Qing looked at Aunt Qiu coldly. She didn’t feel guilty at all that her son killed her godmother. Instead, she was afraid that her son would pay with his life? With such a mother, it was no wonder her children were nothing.

If it was her personality in the past, she would have locked the three of them in a cage and hung them outside the city, threatening Qiu Yong Kang with his parents’ lives to get back here.

However, she knew that Ji Shuisheng would not agree to this method because of their old relationship. He also disdained using such a despicable method. These three people did not know how to be grateful and still wanted to use moral kidnapping?

Old Master Qiu’s eyes were filled with sadness. He stood up and walked towards Su Qing.

“A life for a life, and my life for my grandson!”

“Grandpa Qiu, don’t be like this.”

Ji Shuisheng stopped Old Master Qiu. The old man, whom he had respected since he was young, was willing to give up his own life for his grandson. Qiu Yongkang was inhumane. He caused trouble and ran away, causing his family to suffer.

Su Qing looked at Old Master Qiu coldly, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine as he nervously waited for her reply..
