The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen had come to the backyard and saw the well that Hu Qiang mentioned.

The well mouth was sealed by a bluestone slab.

When Ning Chen saw the well for the first time, his face turned livid. He knew that Chai Dazhuang's wife was in danger.

The well mouth was wet, which meant there was water in the well.

If it was a dry well, the person might still be alive.

But if there was water in the well, the chance of survival was not high.

Ning Chen walked forward quickly, removed the bluestone slab at the well mouth, and looked in.

It was dark in the well and it was not very clear.

He took out a fire starter, lit it, and threw it down.

With the help of the weak firelight, he saw a person floating on the water.

Ning Chen's face was extremely ugly.

He was still late!

He promised Uncle Chai and Chai Dazhuang that he would bring the person back.

But now, the person is dead... He doesn't know how to explain to Uncle Chai?

Thinking of Uncle Chai, Chai Dazhuang who begged him to save his wife, and the crying child, Ning Chen was furious and murderous.

He turned his head and looked at the servant.

The servant was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, "Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life... I am just an ordinary servant and I don't know anything."

Ning Chen stared at him and said word by word: "Go to the Supervisory Office and find a man named Gao Ziping and tell him what happened here... If you don't get the message, I will kill your whole family."

"I will go right away, don't worry, I will definitely get the message..."

The servant stood up tremblingly and ran away.

Ning Chen's face was cold and he strode to the front yard.

But just after coming out of the backyard, Humaode came up with several servants, "Sir, things are not what you think? We didn't kill that woman. She fell into the well by herself. When we found her, it was too late to save her."

"Sir, what I said is true. That woman lives in my house. She usually does laundry and chores. She fell into the well while washing clothes by the well."

"I know it's wrong for us to conceal it. I can compensate her family and give them 100 taels of silver."

Ning Chen's eyes were cold. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and kicked.

Bang! ! !

Humaode was kicked to the ground.

Ning Chen pulled out a knife and stabbed it directly into his thigh.

"Ah..."

Humaode screamed like a pig being slaughtered!

The servants next to him were terrified and trembling with fear.

"I am a scholar of Daxuan. You dare to hurt me without any evidence. You...ah..."

Ning Chen pulled out a knife and stabbed it directly into his other thigh.

Hu Maode's veins popped out in pain and he screamed madly.

Ning Chen suddenly pulled out a knife and put it on the neck of a servant.

The servant looked at the blade still dripping with blood, and his legs softened in fear. He knelt on the ground and screamed in fear: "Master, spare me, Master, spare me..."

Ning Chen said coldly: "Tell the truth and I will spare your life... If you dare to tell a lie, your life will end."

"I, I said, I said... It was the young master. He saw that the woman was beautiful, so he forcibly defiled her and imprisoned her."

"Yesterday, the young master drank and bullied the woman again. When she resisted, she stabbed the young master with scissors and took the opportunity to escape... The young master chased her to the backyard, and then... Then he threw her into the well."

"After the master knew about it, he sent someone to seal the well and ordered us that no one was allowed to mention this matter."

"He was afraid that the woman's family would report to the police after knowing it, so he sent someone to the woman's house and said that the woman had taken a fancy to my young master and forced her husband to write a divorce letter!"

Ning Chen was so angry that he trembled all over.

So vicious!

If Chai Dazhuang wrote a divorce letter, then his wife would have nothing to do with the Chai family... They had no right to ask whether she was dead or alive.

"Beast."

Ning Chen growled, walked over and stepped on Humaode's chest, raising the knife in his hand.

Humaode was so scared that his soul flew away, screaming in horror: "What do you want to do? I didn't kill the person. I am a scholar of Daxuan. Even if I really committed a crime, I have to go through a joint trial of the three courts to be convicted... You can't run away if you kill me."

Ning Chen said word by word: "Humaode, you let your son commit crimes, take human lives lightly, and shelter criminals. Your crimes are numerous and innumerable... You deserve to be beheaded!"

"No, you have no right to convict me, you can't kill me, you... ah..."

Amid Humaode's terrified screams, Ning Chen chopped down the cold long knife in his hand.

Puff! ! !

Blood splattered three feet.

Humaode's head was almost chopped off.

Several servants were so scared that they sat on the ground, shaking like a sieve, and their faces were pale.

Ning Chen shook the blood off the knife and was about to interrogate the servants when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Hu Maode should be trying to save his son at this time, why would he take the initiative to find him?

Ning Chen's eyes condensed, and he immediately realized that Hu Maode was stalling for time.

"Where is Hu Qiang?"

A servant said tremblingly: "The young master was taken away by Steward Liu."

"Where was he taken?"

"Little, I don't know!"

Ning Chen snorted coldly, fleeing for fear of crime... This is the capital, can he run away?

He quickly came to the front yard, whistled, and Diao Chan ran over.

Ning Chen jumped on the horse and rushed out of the Hu Mansion.

This is the closest to the north gate. If Hu Qiang wants to escape from the city, he will definitely go through the north gate.

If not, it doesn't matter...as long as he is still in the city, there is no one the Inspectorate cannot find.

Ning Chen clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards the north gate.

Run all the way to the North City Gate.

The city defenders saw Ning Chen's silver fish scale suit and hurriedly saluted.

"Did you see a carriage leaving the city? There was an injured young man in it."

Hu Qiang was tortured half to death by him. If he wanted to escape, he had to take a carriage.

"Yes, in front of a stick of incense, there was a carriage leaving the city. There was an injured young man in the carriage. It matched the description of the gentleman."

"Thank you!"

Ning Chen rode up to catch up.

There are only two roads outside the city, one is the official road, and the other is the road used by ordinary people.

Hu Qiang's carriage would definitely not dare to take the official road openly and openly under the eyes of the defenders.

Ning Chen galloped on his horse.

Normally in the city, I couldn't run, but Diao Chan was so suffocated.

Now outside the city, Diao Chan completely let go, like a black lightning, the strong wind blew against Ning Chen's face, making Ning Chen's face deformed, and dust flew everywhere he passed.

A carriage is definitely not as fast as a horse.

Besides, Ning Chen was riding a war horse given by General Chen, which was faster.

In just one stick of incense, a carriage appeared in Ning Chen's sight.

A servant was driving a carriage and suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him.

He turned sideways and looked back. The distance was too far to see Ning Chen's face clearly, but he could see the silver fish scale suit on his body.

The servant's face turned pale, and he shouted in panic: "Butler Liu, Master... the people from the Supervision Department are catching up."

In the carriage, Butler Liu and Hu Qiang were immediately frightened out of their wits.

Butler Liu stuck his head out of the small window of the carriage and looked back. In an instant, his face turned pale and pale.

"Quick, run quickly, speed up..."

The servant waved his whip wildly, "Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Ning Chen saw the carriage suddenly speed up and sneered, leaned over and patted Diao Chan on the neck, "It's up to you!"

Diao Chan neighed, her speed increased again, and her explosive power was astonishing.
