Soon, Butler Liu was walking along a small path and passed a corner when he suddenly heard a loud roar.

"Bah!"

Butler Liu was startled, and then he saw a piece of rag coming towards him from the corner.

When it was about to cover his face, he quickly raised his hand to catch it.

Jiang Weichen, who was at the corner, was already holding a long knife. He was very close to the rag, with only a one-second time difference between him and the rag. The wide blade directly hit half of his face.

The huge force hit him and Butler Liu staggered and fell into the thorn bush beside him.

"Ah~"

The thorns from the bush scratched his cheek.

This was originally a small path, not wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and there were thorn bushes on both sides.

"Shut up! If you scream again, I'll kill you!"

Only then did Butler Liu see Jiang Weichen with his face covered.

"Who are you? How have I offended you?"

Jiang Weichen covered his face to avoid accidentally implicating his uncle and aunt.

After saying that, he hit him on the back of the head with the back of the knife.

"Ah~"

Butler Liu was hit on the back of the head and struggled, and his face was scratched by thorns again.

"Damn it, isn't it true that hitting someone on the back of the head can make them faint? Why didn't they faint?"

Jiang Weichen was speechless. He didn't want to hit him hard. If he died immediately, not only would his work be in vain, but he would also alert the enemy and it would be difficult to catch him again.

It seems I need to learn medicine as soon as possible. Now I don’t know any acupuncture points and I don’t know how to diagnose poisons. It’s very inconvenient for me to do things.

"I ask questions, you answer, and if you say anything nonsense, I'll cut you."

If I don't knock him out, I can't take him to a secluded place for questioning. If I don't knock him out, he definitely won't follow me obediently.

The only thing we can do is to quickly ask the question, kill the person and leave. If someone comes on this small road, it will cause more trouble.

"Hero, then let me stand up before we talk."

Butler Liu saw that this person was a newbie and planned to stand up and see if he could run.

Jiang Weichen's blade pressed against his ankle, and with a strong stroke, he broke the tendon.

"Ah~"

"Shut up! I haven't even asked you yet and you've already said something nonsense. If you want to die, keep yelling. I'll cut you with my knife every time you yell and every time you move."

How could Jiang Weichen let him stand up and add variables?

Now his upper body fell into the thorn bush, and he did not have the determination to stand up quickly against the thorns.

This makes it convenient for me to ask questions.

"If you ask, my hero, I will tell you everything I know."

Butler Liu was scared. Although this guy was a newbie, he was a ruthless guy. He broke his tendons with just one word.

He didn't dare move, his upper body was in the thorn bush and his lower body was on the path.

"Who was the knife-wielding criminal who broke into the village a month ago?"

Butler Liu was stunned, and he was struggling in his heart, thinking about Jiang Weichen's identity.

Looking at his height, she trembled and said, "Are you Jiang Weichen?"

Jiang Weichen was about to cut the tendon of his other hamstring with a knife, and he was so frightened that he quickly said, "I don't know, I don't know him."

"Oh, you lied to me."

After a month of practice, Jiang Weichen's hands became very fast. With a flick of his knife, he cut the other tendon again.

"Ah~"

"I told you to cut me when I called you, why didn't you listen?"

Another blow to the calf.

Butler Liu was about to scream subconsciously, but then quickly shut his mouth.

"You can talk nonsense or yell about delaying. If I don't get the answer I want within half a cup of tea, you can go to hell."

"Who broke into my house a month ago?"

Being recognized, Jiang Weichen stopped pretending and asked directly.

"It's Liu Biao! He's Old Master Liu's eldest son."

Chapter 23 Departure to Yangcheng

Butler Liu was not originally a member of the Liu family. He was a bandit with Old Master Liu. After saving some money, they ran away together and brought their families to settle in Xinghua Village.

Old Master Liu had practiced it before, but he had never practiced it, and he was ten years younger than Old Master Liu.

He was still very young at that time, only seven or eight years older than Old Master Liu's eldest son.

He was inferior to Old Master Liu in every way, and since he had just escaped, he was afraid of being hunted down, so he stayed with Old Master Liu.

When Old Master Liu established the Liu family, he became the chief steward.

He served as the steward for more than 20 years, and everyone called him Butler Liu and thought he was a member of the Liu family.

Even he almost forgot his own name.

Now that his life is threatened, how could he keep the secret for Old Master Liu?

"Liu Biao, why hasn't he appeared in Murakami? Where did he take my sister?"

Jiang Weichen had never heard of Liu Biao, nor did he know that Old Master Liu actually had a son named Liu Biao.

"When we settled in Xinghua Village, he went out to make a living and has been a pirate in Taihu Lake for many years.

Your sister was rescued that day, and Liu Biao didn't know who it was."

Jiang Weichen breathed a sigh of relief when he knew his sister had been rescued.

Although I don’t know the character of the person who rescued my sister, at least he is much better than when he was in Liu Biao’s hands.

After my strength improves, I will go to Liu Biao to ask about that person's appearance and see if I can find him.

My sister doesn’t have any obvious birthmark. If I can’t find that person and she changed her name, there’s nothing I can do.

Even if he becomes famous in the future, his sister is only three years old. Will she still remember that her elder brother is called Jiang Weichen many years later?

Jiang Weichen was not sure either. Anyway, he could not remember anything before the age of three in his previous life.

If you can't find it, then you can only live your own life.

"Why did the Liu family kill my parents?"

"For the sake of the land, your father was stubborn and refused to sell it. He was just a chicken being killed to scare the monkeys."

"What a good example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

Jiang Weichen was furious. For a piece of land, someone sent people to kill his entire family. If he hadn't escaped, he would have been in trouble.

I'm afraid all kinds of rumors about Murakami are flying around now.

Amidst the truth and lies, and with the lessons learned from their own family's past, those people in the village who refused to sell their land had no choice but to sell it to the Liu family.

The reason why there is no rumor that the Liu family did it is because I ran away and they are afraid of being retaliated if I find out, right?

Unfortunately, they were wrong. They were wrong in viewing themselves with the mindset of a nine-year-old.

His mistake was in sending the whole family out to look for him, and his mistake was in not recognizing the impression that the Liu family had in the villagers' minds: vampires.

How could such a person be kind enough to protect himself?

If they hadn't sent their entire family to look for him, he really wouldn't have known that it was the Liu family who killed his parents.

The Liu family thought they didn't know, so they didn't publicize it. They were afraid of retaliation and had to shelve the plan.

Jiang Weichen felt that he had guessed correctly, but he didn't know that what Old Master Liu was afraid of was the master who rescued his sister.

If it was just Jiang Weichen, he really wouldn't be that afraid.

After all, Jiang Weichen had no relatives or friends left Xinghua Village, and no one to rely on. It was very likely that he would become a beggar, so he would not have the ability to come back for revenge.

"Tell me the details of the Liu family. How many people are outside? Where exactly are they? How many people are there in the Liu family?"

"Old Master Liu's eldest son was a pirate in Taihu Lake and has now returned to Taihu Lake.

Half a month ago, the second and fourth sons took their money, wives and children and went to the neighboring Lijia Village and Gaojiawazi respectively.

The others are in Xinghua Village."

"What were they doing in Lijia Village and Gaojiawazi?"

"Old Master Liu asked them to follow the same path the Liu family of Xinghua Village built their fortunes, annex their land, and establish a branch of the Liu family."

What a big ambition! Xinghua Village alone is not enough. He wants to continue to annex other villages and even start to establish family branches.

"Since the Liu family killed my parents, why did they let my second uncle's family go?"

"Jiang Ershan had just taken refuge and became a tenant of the Liu family. He still had nearly half of the fertile land in Xinghua Village that he had not yet reclaimed.

Old Master Liu planned to kill your entire family, then spread the news to make others afraid. After taking back the land, he would find an excuse to deal with Jiang Ershan openly.

If we kill your second uncle in advance, the other tenants will be in danger and no one will work hard for the Liu family."

Jiang Weichen didn't expect that his second uncle's family had escaped the disaster because they had become tenants of the Liu family in advance.

Second Aunt was greedy for money and sold the land, so now the couple has to do more work.

But because of this, he escaped a disaster. The changes in this world are really unpredictable.

If I had persuaded my grandfather to sell the land, what would the situation be like now?

Jiang Weichen's mind was in a mess, and he felt that he had a part in the death of his parents.

Even if I hadn't said those words, my grandfather might not have sold the land.
