Peerless Xiaolong

Chapter 596 The Mistake I Made

"So, this is the reason why Mr. Cao suddenly disappeared."

"Actually, they all died in the ancestral hall, and all the corpses in the ancestral hall belong to them."

Chu Yuan frowned slightly. At this time, everything seemed to have been revealed.

Bai Yueqin hummed: "Yes, most of the Cao family's corpses are in the ancestral hall. Because the situation was urgent at the time, Brother Wenyuan left after killing someone. He was afraid that other people would seek revenge from him."

"How were those corpses buried underground?" Chu Yuan asked.

The last time he went to the ancestral hall, Chu Yuan was still confused. Many corpses were buried in the ground, with only part of them exposed.

Bai Yueqin took a deep breath: "Brother Wenyuan came back to me after killing someone. I was fourteen years old that year. He told me that he was going to go out and conquer the world. He would make a lot of money and come back to marry me."

"He asked me to go to the ancestral hall at night and bury all the bodies. Don't tell others, let alone let anyone know about it."

"Then what?" Chu Yuan looked at her.

"At that time, all I could think about was Brother Wenyuan, and I didn't know what I was doing. It was like I was in a daze. I carried my father on my back to the ancestral hall, and spent one night burying all the corpses."

"Aren't you afraid?" Guo Yuning asked her in surprise.

"I'm afraid, but I don't want anything to happen to brother Wenyuan. I buried him while crying." Bai Yueqin cried.

"You, a fourteen-year-old daughter, can you bury all these corpses in one night with only an iron catalpa? Moreover, the foundation of the ancestral hall's courtyard has been deepened by at least three meters, so you can't do it yourself."

"Not to mention you, a middle-aged man can't complete such a large project in one night with just an iron catalpa." Chu Yuan gestured to Bai Yueqin.

Bai Yueqin was silent for a while and replied: "I paid for three people to bury it with me."

"It's impossible for a normal person to do this kind of thing with you. Where did you find these three people?" Chu Yuan asked.

"I forced them to bury it."

"Forced?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Yes, those were three homeless people. Because before brother Wenyuan left, he gave me his gun. I used this gun to force them to bury the people." Bai Yueqin said.

"Where are those three people now?"

"After they were buried, I shot them to death and buried them." Bai Yueqin choked up.

"You..." Guo Yuning looked at Bai Yueqin: "Are you crazy? You are a fourteen-year-old girl, how dare you kill someone?"

"I didn't know what I was thinking at the time. I would do anything for Brother Wenyuan. I liked him so much. Even if he asked me to jump off a cliff, I would not hesitate at that time."

"But what did you get?" Chu Yuan asked.

"He said that when he returns in glory, he will come back to marry me and take me out of the mountain village to live in a big city." Bai Yueqin looked at Chu Yuan with tears on her face.

"But where is he? He was the God of War in the Northwest at the time, and what did he give you? Did he marry you? Until now, are you still hiding it for him?" Chu Yuan roared.

Bai Yueqin didn't know what to say.

Chu Yuan calmed down his anger and asked: "So, it was you who later turned the ancestral hall into a geomantic treasure land?"

Bai Yueqin nodded: "Brother Wenyuan taught me. He gave me a sum of money and asked me to invite a Taoist priest in the town to tell the people around him that there is a geomantic treasure outside the Cao's Ancestral Hall. If people are buried inside, it will be beneficial to their descendants.”

"This is done to cover up people's eyes. When more people are buried, the evil atmosphere here will become stronger."

"Then you created an incident that the ancestral hall was haunted, scaring everyone away from coming near it?" Chu Yuan stared at Bai Yueqin.

"Yes."

"Brother Wenyuan taught me these. I have been staring at Beiwang Mountain. As long as someone passes by, I will dress up as a female ghost to scare them and keep them away."

"In addition, more and more people are buried here, and the yin energy is too strong. After the news about the haunting spread, no one will come here anymore." Bai Yueqin no longer had anything to hide.

"Do you know that he has harmed you for the rest of your life?" Chu Yuan stared at her, word by word.

"I didn't know before. Later, when I grew up, I gradually learned some things, but I have no room to look back." Bai Yueqin cried.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Bai Yueqin, Bai Yueqin, you are really sorry for your father. What happened next?"

Bai Yueqin choked and said: "Later, as the rain washed away in Beiwang Mountain, the soil was washed away, and the body was gradually exposed, but at that time, it didn't matter anymore, because no one dared to go to the ancestral hall anymore."

"Until a few days ago, I saw you inquiring about the ancestral hall in the village, so I walked in before you, preparing to scare you away."

"Over the years, did you know that your brother Wenyuan changed his name to Cao Bao? He should have looked for you later." Chu Yuan asked.

"He came to me twice. The first time, when I was twenty years old, he said he was going to serve as a soldier abroad. The second time, six years ago, he told me that his name was Cao Bao now and he was a soldier. God of War of the Northwest.”

"However, he can't marry me yet. He said that a battle will break out in Yuan Hai soon. After the battle is over, he will come back and marry me." Bai Yueqin said.

Hearing these words, Chu Yuan stood up uncontrollably and pointed at Bai Yueqin: "Then do you know that Cao Bao's daughter is already twenty-three years old?"

"What did you say?"

With a buzz, Bai Yueqin felt her mind go blank.

Chu Yuan looked at Bai Yueqin: "I personally killed Cao Bao's son, and his daughter is now in Yannan."

"Based on what you said, I can infer that after he escaped from the murder, he went to Yannan to find Cao Tianfeng. He deceived Cao Tianfeng into killing everyone in the Cao family, and asked Cao Tianfeng to take him in."

"It was Cao Tianfeng who gave him a sum of money to go abroad and work as a mercenary for several years. Later, he met some of the senior officials of Qingchao, and under the control of the Yannan Qingchao Group, he became the God of War in the Northwest."

"The Yuan Hai War that broke out in the Southeast Yuan Hai nearly six years ago was planned by Cao Bao and the senior officials of the Qingchao Group."

"Bai Yueqin, do you know how many innocent people have been killed by your concealment?" Chu Yuan grabbed Bai Yueqin's collar and roared with red eyes.

"I don't know! I don't know! I did something wrong!" Bai Yueqin's face was filled with tears, and she kept shaking her head and looking at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan continued to roar: "The entire Chen family in the southeast was killed, the entire Guo family was killed, and all the once wealthy families in Yannan were killed by Cao Bao one by one. In the battle of Yuan Hai, [-] soldiers were killed."

"Bai Yueqin, even if you are killed by the nine tribes, it will be difficult to repay the mistakes you committed, do you know?" Chu Yuan roared loudly.
