Chapter 51: murder (5)
“The Great Elder turned out to be quite formidable. He had managed to escape this time, but don't worry Miss Ye. We'll camp here tonight and deal with him once he gets back. ” Leader lift talk.
Ye Qingtang looked at the gloomy consequences that lay throughout the courtyard, before he shook his head at her, “That's unnecessary. You guys have helped a lot. It's done well!" With that said, he handed the remaining twenty thousand gold over to the men.
“It's late. We'll take it from here. Before you go, thank you again. We will never forget this help you did to us. ”
It would be great if those people could get rid of the Great Elder. However, now that he had escaped, if those people stayed here any longer, they could instead become an obligation.
Moreover, no one knew whether the Great Elder would return at all with the people around him.
And things tend to go awry when someone plays a waiting game.
Those people had the gold and stamp of approval of Ye Qingtang. Obviously, they would not plan to stay for long. After saying thank you in return, they left like the wind.
With those people gone, Ye Qingtang looked at the scattered corpses of the guards with cold eyes.
Those guards, who were previously servants of the Ye Household, should have owed their loyalty to Ye Ling, the head of the household. But they turned their coats around and joined the ranks of Great Elders instead. Under the orders of the Great Elder, the guards purposely left their posts in his father's courtyard, in order for his murder to succeed.
Thus, the guards could be considered as a group of criminals who had betrayed his father's trust and Ye Qingtang would never turn a blind eye to their deaths.
“Dad, it's late. We have to get second uncle home tomorrow morning. Let's call it a day. ” Ye Qingtang chuckled as he spoke. From the very beginning, he expected the Great Elder to be able to escape from those assassins, given his abilities.
But he was confident he would no longer be a threat to Ye Ling in his current situation, and with the immediate return of the Second Elder, he doubted he had the time and capacity to make any further mistakes.
It was not until almost dawn that the Great Elder finally returned to the residence in a miserable state, only after he was sure the assassins no longer existed.
The Great Elder was unable to give a reasonable reason or answer the difficulty. For now, all he could do was delay the case for further investigation in the future.
Now that the assassins had broken their agreement, and with Ye Ling still alive, his plan to frame the Second Elder for his murder was foiled.
The Great Elder furrowed his brows at this realization, but when he stood in front after a fight in his courtyard, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Attempts to kill the head of the household or the Great Elder, in both cases, they required the same death sentence!
Ye Ling would succumb to the poison sooner or later, the thorn on his side was definitely the Second Elder.
He would never let the two of them join forces to fight him.
He will soon rule as the head of the household!
The next morning, Ye Qingtang woke up from his dream and as soon as he put on his street clothes, he immediately left his room to meet Ye Ling.
But when he reached his residence, Ye Ling was nowhere to be seen. He questioned the officer about his whereabouts immediately.
And only then did he know….
The Great Elder had gone ahead to pick up the Second Elder before the agreed schedule. Ye Ling, who knew this later, reacted nonchalantly and did not want to disturb his sleep, she went first to chase after them and should have already reached the training ground by now.
