A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 301 Brother Mu Liang is more important

Mr. Shen Shi fled for fear of punishment, but his mother, Mrs. Shen, exposed his crimes in public, which caused public outrage in Yaocheng.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Qian Zhizhou, as the magistrate of Yaocheng, naturally could not remain indifferent, so he hurriedly sent people to assist Captain Zhou to seal off Shen's Villa and posted a notice to wanted the fugitive.

Manager Yang, who originally thought he could rest easy hiding in Shen's villa, did not know that Master Shen's crime had been exposed and that he had escaped until he saw Captain Zhou from Qile City personally leading officers and soldiers into the villa. In panic, he immediately confessed that Master Shen had asked the fat slave to kill someone and sink the body into the pond in the backyard of the villa.

Captain Zhou was shocked and furious when he heard this. He had never thought that the lives of Mr. Shen Shi were far more than the dozens of people in Majia Village. He immediately ordered people to drain the pond in the backyard. When the water was halfway drained, two huge crocodiles with ferocious eyes suddenly appeared in the middle of the pond, which frightened everyone surrounding the shore.

“So… So he really was feeding people to the fish…” Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Yang fell to the ground with a pale face, sweating profusely in the cold winter.

He had secretly come to the backyard once before and saw that it was just a pond of stagnant water with no movement. He thought that what Master Shen meant by feeding the fish was just letting the fat slave kill people and sink the bodies. Now, he thought that these victims really went into the fish's stomach.

These two giant man-eating beasts certainly could not be left in the world to harm innocent people. Under the order of Captain Zhou, the officers and soldiers on the shore drew their bows and arrows, and shot arrows like rain at the two giant crocodiles in the pond. As the thunderous rumbling sounds of the crocodiles gradually became quiet, the pond had already turned into half a pool of blood.

At night, Li Yunye leaned on the railing of the attic bored, looking at the twinkling lights in the distance and sighed softly, his brows furrowed.

"Young master, it's late at night and very cold, why don't you go back to the house?" On a cold winter night when snow was about to fall, An Yun saw that it was already past the hour of You, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the young master.

"An Yun, why doesn't Brother Mu Liang come back yet?" After Anyun's reminder, Li Yunye also felt a little cold, so he turned around and went back to the house and asked Anyun.

A few days ago, Li Yunye received a letter from his brother, informing him that Yujiang City had reopened and everything was going well. Lu Zhi, the new shopkeeper, was also doing a good job. In a few days, he and Lao Zhou set off to return to Qile City. Knowing that the shop in Yujiang City and Brother Muliang were all fine, Li Yunye was completely relieved, and what he looked forward to every day was to see Brother Muliang as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, sir. Perhaps Young Master Mu Liang will be back tomorrow." After closing the door of the attic, An Yun turned around and followed Li Yunye back to the warm inner room, comforting him.

Li Yunye did not say anything else, just nodded and smiled. Perhaps he was too anxious. The journey was long and it was deep winter and very cold, so he naturally could not hurry.

"Sir, I just met Captain Zhou outside and got some good news!" At this time, Ange suddenly walked in with a happy face, bowed to Li Yunye and continued, "The Shen Family Villa in Yaocheng was sealed by the government today, and the shopkeeper Yang who was hiding in the villa has been arrested. I heard from Captain Zhou that he will be taken to Yujiang City tomorrow."

"That's great, this whole nest of snakes and rats has finally been caught in one fell swoop." Li Yunye was overjoyed when he heard this. It was a pity that his brother Mu Liang had not come back yet, otherwise he would have applauded if he heard the good news.

"Then Mr. Shen Shi was also arrested?" An Yun asked immediately.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Shen Shi escaped after leaving a confession to his family this morning." Ange shook his head and sighed.

"What? He actually let him escape?" Li Yunye couldn't help but frowning and sighing when he heard it.

"However, local authorities have posted wanted notices everywhere, and even the Shen family has openly distanced themselves from Mr. Shen Shi. When Old Madam Shen learned that her son had committed such a heinous crime, she couldn't withstand the blow and went crazy." Ange continued.

"Mrs. Shen has always been a decent person. She never expected that her own son would be so cruel and bring shame to her. She's lucky she didn't die of anger." Li Yunye slowly sat down on the couch in front of the window and sneered.

"Now that the truth of the Majia Village tragedy has been revealed, I wonder how Village Chief Ma would feel if he found out that the real culprit behind the incident was Master Shen, to whom he was loyal?" An Yun at the side also sighed.

"Hmph, he chose his own path, so he can't blame anyone else. Ever since Village Chief Ma maliciously framed Ma Ming, he has been reaping what he sowed." Li Yunye continued to snort disapprovingly.

In Li Yunye's opinion, Village Chief Ma was determined to kill Ma Ming. The fact that he chose to be loyal to Master Shen Shi was simply because birds of a feather flock together. He did not deserve sympathy.

"Village Chief Ma also committed suicide in prison today." As soon as Li Yunye finished speaking, An Ge replied.

"Why did he commit suicide for no reason? Was he still loyal to Master Shen Shi?" Li Yunye and An Yun looked at each other, and then Li Yunye asked in confusion.

So, Ange told all the information she got from Captain Zhou, that the wife and children of Village Chief Ma lived in Shen's Villa and were eventually killed by Master Shen Shi. These were all the previous reasons, and Ange only heard a general idea from Captain Zhou. Later, when Village Chief Ma learned in prison that Master Shen Shi, whom he trusted at the beginning, not only brutally killed his wife and children but was also the real culprit behind the Ma Village tragedy, he couldn't help but break down and cry. After confessing his collusion with Master Shen Shi, he returned to the prison and hit his head against the wall and committed suicide.

Li Yunye was shocked and realized that the reason why Village Chief Ma was so loyal to Master Shen Shi was because of his wife and children. On the surface, Master Shen Shi was kind enough to rescue and take in his wife and children, but in reality, it was just that his weakness was exploited by someone.

In his statement, An Ge naturally could not avoid the killer organization Jiuhe. Although Master Mu Liang had told him to keep the matter of Jiuhe a secret from the Master first, now that Jiuhe had been destroyed it was time to let the Master know. Moreover, Master Mu Liang had also contributed to the successful annihilation of Jiuhe. So An Ge did not hide it anymore and told the truth.

Li Yunye was not too interested in Jiuhe, but he admired Brother Muliang's resourcefulness. At the same time, he was secretly glad that the government was able to successfully wipe out Jiuhe in time, otherwise Brother Muliang would be in danger.

Although it was a close call, he couldn't help but wonder, if Mr. Shen Shi really used Brother Mu Liang to threaten him, would he sacrifice the famous Li from Jiangnan for his sworn brother?

There is no doubt that in Li Yunye's heart, the famous Jiangnan Li is important, but Brother Muliang is more important.
