The villain's daily corpse collection
Chapter 49 The Truth Comes to Light (Part )
Looking at the surprised and stunned expressions of the crowd, Wang Wei slowly said: "This is another story."
That night, after Wang Wei jumped out from the third floor of the Rong family's accounting office, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he returned to the room silently and sat in the position where Rong Fei usually checked the accounts.
Rong Fei relaxed her brows, and finally put her worries about the other person falling down the stairs at ease, but she didn't let go of her words: "You are such a strange person, didn't you read the list I put on the table? If you want to enter the Quanyu Banquet, you have to rely on your ability. Or - you don't have this ability?"
Rong Fei knew how many people got the invitations through connections behind the scenes, and how many people in the Jade Association embezzled money, but she just didn't want to pursue it now.
Wang Wei laughed instead of getting angry when she heard this. She didn't beat around the bush: "I'm not just after the invitation. I want to see the scepter you've hidden at home."
"So you're still doing this for Shi Yao, and want to help him get the Shi family's jade scepter back from me?"
"I never take any risk for others." She said this quite sincerely.
Rong Fei couldn't help but look at Wei twice more. She poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him: "So what do you want to find the scepter for? It's just a piece of fine Xianshan jade carved into the shape of a walking stick. Its only use is to mine the jade mine within the Shi family. Do you want to go down the mine to look for jade?"
"I don't want to. Isn't there anything special about it?"
"No, I don't understand what you mean by special, but it's just an ordinary piece of jade." Rong Fei thought, "If you have to say it's special, I do know something." She changed her posture, "But I'm a businessman, I only know how to trade."
Wang Wei chuckled and said, "I see. State your request and tell me everything you know."
"Come back to see me when you get the invitation."
When Wangwei came to the door again with the invitation, he was even more familiar with the place this time, but it seemed that the guards had been transferred away in advance.
"Yuan'er is dead, I must avenge her." Wang Wei just came down from the beam and heard Rong Fei say. She tried her best to hold back her voice, but she still couldn't stop trembling.
Wang Wei sat quietly on the window sill, looking at Rong Fei who was clutching his chest tightly, without saying a word. Somehow, Rong Fei suddenly squatted on the ground, hugged himself and burst into tears.
Wang Wei jumped down: "...Um, Miss Fei, I've already got the invitation."
Rong Fei: “…”
After a while, when Rong Fei had vented her emotions, she stood up and looked at Wang Wei.
Rong Fei: "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Wang Wei: “What are the terms of the deal?”
Rong Fei chuckled: "When I can be like you and not be controlled by emotions, maybe I won't let myself fall into such a desperate situation."
Wang Wei handed her a silk handkerchief and said, "Maybe not."
"What?" Rong Fei suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Even if you are emotionally stable, you may not be able to win when facing something beyond your ability." She sat cross-legged on the floor and looked directly at Rong Fei. "This is a question of ability."
Seeing Rong Fei's frustrated expression, she continued, "However, you are already much stronger than many people. At least in some aspects, you are indeed decisive and tough. Letting someone else take your place, testing the waters, and finding the person behind the scenes is also a method."
"Even you think Yuan'er is the scapegoat I arranged?" Rong Fei showed an indescribable look.
"I don't know, but that's how it feels to everyone." Wang Wei said bluntly, "Actually, I don't really care about the grudge between you. I don't want to say it doesn't matter. I just want the special thing you mentioned. Name your price."
Rong Fei wiped away his tears and said, "Your name is Mo Wei, right? You are really a strange person. But it is also true that you cultivators can cut off all emotions and desires in order to achieve enlightenment. This is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"How do you know I'm... a monk?" Wang Wei looked down at his attire; his identity was not very obvious.
Rong Fei let out a long sigh, "Don't worry, you will know in a moment. Tomorrow is the Jade Banquet, if you help me, I will help you."
Wang Wei: "What you want me to help you with must be something serious. You should at least tell me some information I want to know."
"Gives you a chance to ask a question."
"Where was that thing found?"
"...How can I describe it? It is solidified in a huge rock. I say it is peculiar only because it glows and does not rely on any external force." Rong Fei recalled.
"So what shape is it exactly?"
"This is the second question."
"Don't be so strict." Wang Wei smiled gently, "Think about what other characteristics you have?"
Rong Fei looked helpless: "That thing is amazing, I have never seen it before, I can't see it clearly, I touched it, it feels like water, a bit like ice in the hand. As for the shape——"
She searched around for similar items, but none of them seemed satisfactory. Finally, she lowered her head, looked at her empty palm, and then took Wang Wei's hand.
Rong Fei put their hands in a weird position with their fingers clasped behind their backs, "It should be roughly like this."
hand?
At this moment, Wang Wei suddenly understood. If Fang Qiu's artifact was attached to her hand, then everything would make sense.
Catching a slight change in Wang Wei's expression, Rong Fei made a direct request: "I want you to protect the lives of all the guests at the Jade Banquet. Shi Yao will definitely do something special that day, and I'm worried that it won't end well."
"Why do you believe I can stop him?" Wang Wei raised his eyebrows.
"There was once a cultivator who claimed to be from Lin'an Palace who asked me about something similar, asking if I had seen anything strange. At the time, I just said to help keep an eye out, as that thing was only recently discovered." Rong Fei paused, "You are the same as them, and you also came to inquire about this thing, so you are certainly not an ordinary person."
Unexpectedly, that group of monks lingered around and actually set their eyes on the things that belonged to her, which made Wang Wei secretly unhappy.
"I will do my best and I can only guarantee that they will be obedient. If they don't listen to me, then I can only leave it to fate."
At this moment, Wang Wei looked down at the jade carving artifact in his hand. It was exactly as Rong Fei had described yesterday, a strange shape formed by two hands clasped backwards.
Her memory suddenly came to her mind. In the depths of her vague memory, someone had held her hand and interlocked their fingers. She tried to free her fingers but was held back by the other person. During the argument, she knocked over the spiritual dew used to water the flowers. This artifact was most likely made of the spiritual dew.
"Shi Yao, hand over the antidote and Mei Niang, and I will return the scepter to you." Rong Fei has already started formal negotiations.
"Miss Rong Er, your conditions are really harsh." Shi Yao returned to his previous state, and no one knew where the thing that was attached to him before went.
"Shi Yao, you are so funny. It was you who poisoned my mother and grandmother, or you were trying to drive your mother crazy. I exchanged the people I care about for the things you care about. This is an equal exchange." Rong Fei's voice was restrained.
Everyone on the sidelines was quite surprised, including Wang Wei, who knew for the first time what Rong Fei's purpose was. She really thought that she wanted to force the Shi family to death, but now it seems to be the opposite.
"As for the scepter, I will get it back sooner or later, but you can't wait for human life." He used the gentlest tone and uttered the most deadly words.
"Then let's use the most primitive method. Now all the guests leave my Rongbao Tower. What happens next is the business of Rong Fei and the Shi family." After saying that, she drew out a long sword from the waist of a guard, staring at the target with a sharp gaze.
Everyone left under the escort, and Wang Wei signaled Huo Feng to follow up and clean up the extra memories of the mortals. Du Ximiao kept looking back in the crowd, she didn't intend to interrupt the clues just like that.
Rong Fei and Shi Yao stood on the round table, their two knives collided and sparks flew, and Rong Fei's resolute expression was reflected on the bright mirror-like blade. After several moves, the two exchanged several moves, and Rong Fei clearly had the upper hand.
"Hehe, is this how you beat me? I have been ill for more than 20 years. Your victory was unfair." Shi Yao was unwilling to be defeated.
"You have more tricks up your sleeve. Don't worry about such trivial matters now." Rong Fei became more and more courageous as the fight went on. He put the knife on his neck and said, "I win."
"Really?" Shi Yao smiled strangely, his face was ferocious, a black shadow silently attached to his body, and with just one move, it broke the knife in Rong Fei's hand.
It was that shadowy knife again. Wang Wei frowned. She had a bad feeling. If she didn't stop in time...
The next moment, Rong Fei flew out, and Wang Wei's whisk didn't catch her in time, so she still crashed into the load-bearing column, leaving a slight crack on the column. She lowered her head and vomited blood, still staring at the shadowy man.
Wang Wei tried to help Rong Fei up, but she waved her hands and shouted to Shi Yao, "Come again!" Then, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and went on the field with the broken knife.
"Shi Yao" narrowed her eyes and chopped the remaining broken knife into pieces. Only the lonely handle was left in Rong Fei's hand. She raised her hand and laughed out loud, "Shi Yao, you have been a despicable person from the beginning to the end. You were abandoned by the family and no one cares about you. These are all your own imaginations! Have you forgotten what you did? It was you who caused your mother to die in childbirth!"
"Shi Yao" frowned and covered her head. She continued to accuse, "Your mother never gave up treating you. Even if she gave birth to another child, it was for the Shi family to have a legacy in the future. Our two families have been looking for various famous doctors and hermit monks for your illness, but in the end there was really no way to find it..."
"Put away your hypocrisy!" The shadow disappeared again, and Shi Yao took over the body again. He sneered, "My body and hair were given by my parents, but they gave me a broken body. I had no choice. If this is the case, someone should pay the price. Isn't it all for my own good? I just wanted my family to wait for me on the Naihe Bridge. What's wrong with me?"
Wang Wei's expression was a little unnatural when he heard his words. At this time, Huo Feng came back, and he pulled Wang Wei's sleeve, indicating that the mission was completed and everyone would forget all memories related to the spell.
"...After all, I have no right to interfere in your family's affairs, but why did you kill my family members? That chronic poison is really vicious! They, they..." Rong Fei's eyes were red and his breathing was heavy.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your family for becoming increasingly powerful. This is also the fundamental reason why my parents worked so hard in the mines and ignored me. The emperor forced us to pay tribute, and the Fangqiu Liang clan and you were against my family. I hate you but I am outnumbered, so I have to rely on some special forces. How about you guess who that shadow guard is?"
A security guard stepped forward and removed the cloth strips wrapped around the shadow guard one by one. He saw the man inside and found that he was the former head of the Shi family, Shi Yao's father!
At this time, Xiang Jiu had already sneaked into Rongbao Building with his men and was observing everyone in the corner.
Shi Yao was born weak and gradually grew up to hate his family, but on the surface he looked calm and indifferent. No one knew that under his gentle appearance he actually had a devil's heart. He poisoned his mother during childbirth and secretly killed his father to make him a puppet shadow guard, so that he could eliminate dissidents for him.
The young woman my father married later knew about his behavior but dared not speak out because her son Shi Luo was in his hands. He instilled evil thoughts into Shi Luo and trained him to be a dog that only listened to him. After the marriage, he tried to kill everyone in the Rong family.
But if you think about these things carefully, you will find that they are not something that can be done by ordinary people. So, where does the power represented by the black shadow come from? We have no way of knowing it.
Shi Yao smiled and straightened his back. "They deserved to die, so I killed my father and mother and drove that later Mei Niang crazy. I wanted to make all of them suffer the consequences! And your Rong family, the mining disaster back then was the first step. Unfortunately, you were missed."
He changed the subject, "However, the bluffing tactics you used later were quite effective. I did not dare to act rashly at first, but fortunately there are people who can help me complete all the revenge. They have the most powerful power in the world..."
Wang Wei sneered and interrupted Shi Yao's words: "Where does the power come from?" He actually spoke nonsense in front of her.
Shi Yao looked at the people present with disdain: "It is not a being that this world deserves to have. No matter how powerful you are, you are nothing but a group of ants when facing them!"
It is quite interesting that the Lord of Chenzhongtian, whose status is equal to that of Tianzun, is called an ant by a mortal for the first time.
"That invisible black shadow? It only dares to hide on a humble and weak person like you. Is this what you call strength?" Shi Yao's face was full of sarcasm, and he had a blank expression. The black shadow on his body didn't seem to be convinced.
That voice howled in Shi Yao's mind: "Let me out and kill her, what are you still doing, you useless piece of shit?"
"Mo Wei, my original intention of saving people was really just to save people, whether it was to save you or to save the child who was almost trampled by the giant elephant. Although, you don't need my rescue at all." Shi Yao said slowly, "I am a waste, a sickly person. I killed many people because of my hatred, and that scepter--"
"This has never been what I wanted. I will kill all the people I hate, and I have finally gotten what I wanted today. This is my path, and now I can finally make my own choice."
A shadow knife appeared out of nowhere and cut Shi Yao's throat directly. The black shadow attached to his body struggled like a ferocious beast and finally broke away from his body.
The black shadow was like a mad whirlwind, slamming into the load-bearing pillars fiercely. The black shadow wrapped around Rong Fei's body, trying to bury her here together.
Rong Fei was the last person he wanted to kill, and he was willing to die with him.
