Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

However, before his wail could even escape his throat, a pair of strong arms gripped his throat.

Then he heard Hu Ji's voice full of murderous intent and resentment.

"You heartless bastard, it's your business if you don't care about your wife. I also want my mother to live a good life."

"I risked my life to build this future, and you want to ruin it for me. If that's the case, then go to hell! Don't stand in my way of success!"

At this moment, Hu Ji seemed like a completely different person. The veins on his arm that was strangling Li San's neck were bulging, and his face was full of ferocious expressions.

He doesn't look like a craftsman at all, he's clearly a desperado.

As time passed, Li San's face became more and more ugly, and he struggled with all his strength.

However, Hu Ji was a blacksmith and he took advantage of the surprise attack. In addition, he was already injured and could not use his strength.

In the end, under Hu Ji's vigorous strangulation, Li San rolled his eyes and kicked his legs, and left this world completely.

But even so, Hu Ji had no intention of letting him go, and his arms were still tightly locked around Li San's throat.

It was not until a few minutes later when he was sure that Li San was dead that he slowly loosened his hands, breathing heavily.

"Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. You can abandon your wife, but I can't abandon my mother. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. You brought this upon yourself!"

Looking at Li San's face full of fear and unwillingness to close, Hu Ji spoke with a fierce look and a cold tone.

Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, grabbed Li San's clothes with both hands and tore them off, and kept searching in his arms.

Not long after, several pieces of paper were found on Li San, on which were the structural diagrams of a rifled flintlock rifle.

Seeing this, the expression on Hu Ji's face finally relaxed, and he slumped in the car in a daze.

But at this moment, the door curtain of the car was pulled open a little, and the coachman poked half of his face in from outside.

He looked at Li San's body expressionlessly, then turned to look at Hu Ji and said:

"It's hot, and the bodies must be disposed of quickly. Otherwise, the stink will attract attention, and we won't be able to enter the town."

Hu Ji didn't say anything, just nodded, then got up and together with the coachman threw Li San's body into a remote woods.

After dealing with Li San, the carriage continued on its way and encountered no more trouble until it stopped in a small village near Yangzhou City.

As soon as Hu Ji came out of the elevator, he saw a man dressed as a wealthy businessman walking towards him from a distance.

"Didn't you say there were two? Why is there only one?"

Hearing the rich businessman's question, the groom simply responded.

"The other one is dead, send this one out quickly."

"That's fine. The risk of being exposed alone is lower. Let's go! You just hide in my truck and don't say a word. I'll take you into the city."

Hu Ji didn't say a word about the arrangements made by the groom and the rich businessman. He just did whatever they arranged.

Not long afterward, the wealthy businessman's convoy set off towards Yangzhou City.

At the same time, in the capital, the Academy of Science and Technology did not stop their progress because of the disappearance of the two craftsmen.

In fact, it was precisely because of what happened this time that the craftsmen of the Academy of Science and Technology were afraid but also worked with great enthusiasm.

They were afraid that the emperor would be implicated because of those two people, so they worked even harder, hoping to atone for their sins.

Originally, Wei Wu wanted to tell them not to worry, but after seeing how efficient these people were, he felt it was okay to tell them later.

As for the matter between him and Hu Ji, since it has been handed over to the Jinyiwei, he is not going to interfere anymore. After all, he is not a criminal investigator.
