At this moment, Su Han was deeply impressed by Wang Wu's archery skills. Zhao Hu quietly brought them in, and Wang Wu's arrows found their mark with deadly precision, not wasting a single shot. Then there was Zhao Hu, who managed to feign terror convincingly.
Zhang Biao's wives and family were back home; the only one accompanying him now was a young concubine, who had also been brought out and was trembling on the ground.
"Not much of interest, Lord Zhang," Su Han said as he pulled up a chair to sit down. "You must be curious about who sent me here. I will tell you: I am under the orders of Lord Chu Feng from the Royal Confidential Office, here to rescue Lin Yu. But then again, you probably don’t know who Lord Chu Feng is. You think you can offend us and get away unscathed?"
An assassin? This "Master Su" was actually an assassin from Tiandu?
Zhang Biao mustered his courage and said, "I truly failed to recognize the great mountain before me; I deserve death for my ignorance. I will issue an order immediately to release Lin Yu and ensure that the Lin family will no longer be troubled from now on."
"It's too late," Su Han sighed. "I had intended to spare your life, but Lord Chu Feng would not be pleased."
Zhang Biao's face changed dramatically. "In the world of Jianghu, one should leave a line for future encounters."
"Am I supposed to meet you on the road to the Yellow Springs?" Su Han sneered. "If I leave you alive, you'll just cause more trouble for the Lin family once we’re gone? Wang Wu, send Lord Zhang on his way!"
"No—"
Zhang Biao barely managed to utter a word before Wang Wu's arrow was already in flight.
Zhang Biao collapsed into a pool of blood.
"Ah!"
The young concubine screamed in horror.
Without even glancing at her, Wang Wu fired another arrow, striking her fatally.
Su Han frowned slightly. Although the woman was innocent, she ultimately posed a risk. He had been contemplating how to deal with her when Wang Wu had already taken her down.
This "cook" truly had a ruthless streak!
Wang Wu stepped forward and shot several more arrows into the two corpses before silently returning to stand behind Su Han.
Zhao Hu watched in fear, terrified that they might decide to eliminate him as well.
Fortunately, this incident did not occur. Su Han gestured for Wang Wu to hand him two banknotes. "Zhao Hu, here is the remaining fifty thousand taels of silver. I keep my word."
"Thank you, Captain Su, thank you, Captain Su." Zhao Hu sighed in relief as he accepted the banknotes.
"What are your plans now? The the Zhang Family will surely not let you off easily."
Zhao Hu forced a smile and replied, "First, I need to rescue my wife. After that, I’ll either go into hiding with her in the capital or find another way out. In any case, I can't stay in Linjiang City any longer."
"Captain Su, I will search again with Zhao Hu to ensure there are no loose ends," Wang Wu said respectfully.
Su Han nodded and slowly walked out...
...
"Boss Lin's friend? Please, come in quickly."
At the foot of Cui Ping Mountain, the side door of the prestigious Wang Residence opened. An elderly man welcomed Zhou Meng and Su Yao inside. "My master has retired and cannot meet you. The carriage is ready; you must leave through the front door at once."
...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, several muffled sounds echoed from within the house.
Su Han was taken aback.
Moments later, Wang Wu emerged from inside, holding three banknotes. "Captain Su, eighty thousand taels of silver, not a single coin less."
"What have you done?"
Su Han's expression changed dramatically.
"Keeping someone like Zhao Hu is ultimately a liability. Today he could betray Zhang Biao; tomorrow he might betray you as well. So I took care of this hidden danger for you," Wang Wu said nonchalantly.
Su Han was momentarily at a loss for how to react. He had indeed considered this possibility but lacked the ruthless disposition of those from this era.
Wang Wu slowly said, "If you remember Zhao Hu's contributions, you could send someone to the capital with thirty thousand taels of silver to rescue his wife. That would be a way to repay him."
Wang Wu!
Should I keep this person or not?
If I decide to keep him, how should I manage him?
