Chapter 178: Outer World Town Affairs
"Which fourth young lady?"
Upon hearing this, the masked performer beside him sighed in exasperation and reminded, "It’s the fourth young lady you encountered at Landlord Wang’s residence in Wujie Town during your last outing to inspect the disaster relief."
Ji Fa remembered, but the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He said, "Father and elder brother have returned; why should I worry about the fourth young lady? If they find out, they’ll skin me alive. Send her back immediately."
The performer sighed and said, "She can’t be sent back."
"How is it that a perfectly alive person can’t be sent back?"
The performer replied, "At the time, to avoid any news leakage, we disguised as bandits and robbed them; didn’t our men kill her entire family?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fa jumped up in a fury. He paced back and forth in the room, making three laps, and finally cursed, "A bunch of useless fools, truly as dumb as pigs."
The performer, hearing the scolding, dared not respond.
Ji Fa then said, "What’s there to fear? The entire family is dead; there’s no harm in killing one more. Ensure no news leaks, just wrap the woman in a quilt and dig a pit in the backyard to bury her."
The performer listened to this and quickly went to bury the person.
