In a certain town in Ba County.
A courtyard, originally belonging to the Liu family, was now empty. Blood spots remained on the ground yet there were no corpses in sight. The things in the house were fairly tidy, and it didn't look like it had been plundered.
Gu Yang found it strange, but didn't bother wondering what had transpired here. So, he decided to stay here for the night.
In reality, many of the Liu family members were scattered throughout various towns in Ba County. It would not be feasible to kill them all, and he didn't want to waste his time and effort.
He needed to quickly head towards Jingzhou, to take over Qian Xiyun's business. That was the priority.
If Qian Xiyun didn't manage to hold out in Zhongzhou and died, then over three million taels would be wasted.
