330 What Happened at Crescent Lake 3 (2/2)

Bai Bing Wen's right-hand man asked. ”Master, what about this old man? What should we do to him?” He kicked the fainted man, but the latter didn't move.

”Kill him!” He directly ordered.

His subordinates were trained not to ask any questions when receiving orders. Thus, they had never questioned his judgment and did as what they told to do obediently. They fully trusted Bai Bing Wen.

Just like that, Hong Wen and his advisor were killed coldbloodedly. The latter didn't even know that he had died.

Bai Bing Wen's right-hand man asked, ”Master, what should we do with their corpse? Is killing them really worth it?” They killed an official of the Han Kingdom and it would affect the matter between the two kingdoms.

”No need to worry about it!” Bai Bing Wen answered. ”There are only us inside the room... We are the only ones who know what exactly happened inside this room. We can just twist the truth a little bit.”

”Good idea, Master!” Bai Bing Wen's right-hand man nodded his head in agreement.

Bai Bing Wen could only laugh when he watched his excited subordinate.

When Xiao Fang finished reading the letter, the room turned deadly silent. They heard the news about Hong Wen and one of his subordinate's death. The letter said that it happened inside the esteemed guest's study room where they placed the jade pendant.

Yao Ling asked in a hoarse voice, ”He... he killed them? Just like that?”

Yao Ying sighed. It was lucky that they weren't the one who fought directly with the esteemed guest --- the latter was so cruel!

The letter told them that Hong Wen suddenly attacked the esteemed guest and Bai Bing Wen's subordinates acted in defense. Because of that, Hong Wen and his advisor was dead.

Actually, everyone could guess what really happened inside, but couldn't say anything about it. They had heard from Rong Qiu that they were only scholars --- how would they dare attack Bai Bing Wen when he had a lot of strong bodyguards? It meant that they were searching for death ah~!

Thus, they believed that this was purely Bai Bing Wen's doing.

Xiao Fang sighed. ”Fortunately, he didn't kill anyone else but those two. Surely the Han Emperor would know that something isn't right... right?”

Lin Jian answered, ”Even if he knows something, he can't do anything about it. Unless he wants to start a war with the Qin Kingdom.”

Yao Ling asked, ”But... why did he need to kill those two?” They meant for them to have a fallout, but not in this way.

Yao Ying frowned. ”That's the weird part too. What did he gain by doing that? Or... he found out about something at that time? Thus, he needed to kill them so it didn't leak out?”

Yao Ying wanted to say whether it was because of the jade pendant or not, but he didn't say it out loud. The atmosphere had already solemn enough...
