Chapter 75: The Chaos Begins

"Ah!"

Xuezi screamed, a look of terror appearing in her eyes, and her whole body went limp.

Yin Xuan also regained his senses, hurriedly embracing the falling Xuezi, and said with both urgency and anger: "Second brother, why, why did you kill Jiro? Do you know that it was he who rescued me and our little sister, and we were counting on him to rescue our parents!"

He felt like he was truly going crazy, his head about to explode.

Yin Qi patted Yin Shishi on the back, letting her pull away.

He turned his head to look at Yin Xuan and said coldly: "Rescuing you and our little sister, and also rescuing our parents? Yin Xuan, you are truly incredibly stupid, unable to even see through someone else's trap. Do you know that you almost ruined our little sister, ruined yourself, and also ruined our Yin Family."

Yin Xuan was stunned; it was the first time he had seen Yin Qi look so cold and stern.

In the past, it had always been him lecturing Yin Qi.

He instinctively felt a bit guilty, followed by irritation, and questioned: "What do you mean?"

Yin Qi sneered: "What do I mean? Ask the Xuezi in your arms, ask her if she is Fujiwara Jiro's sister?"

Xuezi trembled all over, her face turning even paler.

Although Yin Xuan was somewhat blinded by lust, he was not a fool.

Seeing Xuezi's reaction, he realized instantly that there was a problem and hurriedly asked: "Xuezi, tell me."

Just at this moment, a clamor of noise came from outside the courtyard.

The Japanese had come in!

Yin Qi walked to the west wall, drew the Japanese Samurai Sword hanging on the wall, and said while walking outside: "Wait a moment, I will go deal with them."

When Yin Qi walked out of the room through the gap, a group of Japanese men also walked into the courtyard.

"Baka, who are you?"

Although they could not see the situation inside the room, from the large gap, they could tell that something major must have happened inside.

"The person who is going to kill you!"

Yin Qi rushed up suddenly, without any further nonsense.

"What!"

"Kill him!"

"Shina pig, you are courting death!"

A dozen or so Japanese men shouted fiercely, and surprisingly, not a single one retreated.

Because they had been drinking in the front courtyard earlier, they were not carrying weapons, and they were a bit tipsy, making them exceptionally bold.

Watching the dozen or so Japanese men rushing toward him, Yin Qi's eyes were cold and stern as he directly employed the Imperial Pole Saber Technique. He quickly slashed down with his saber, easily slicing open a Japanese man's chest, the blade damaging his internal organs.

Ah!

This Japanese man let out a miserable scream, blood spraying everywhere.

There was no emotional fluctuation in Yin Qi's eyes; at this moment, he was like a heartless killing machine. After quickly slaying one person, he turned and swung his saber upward, severing an arm that was attacking him.

The severed arm flew horizontally, blood spraying.

Ah... ah...

The sharp light of the saber continuously tore through the night, and screams rose one after another.

Countless blood sprayed, mixed with severed limbs flying about.

Slaughtering the Japanese was just like killing chicks.

In less than a minute, all the screaming came to an abrupt end, because all the Japanese men were lying on the ground; their corpses were almost none of them intact, and blood flowed all over the ground.

When Yin Qi turned and walked into the room, Xuezi almost fainted from fright.

Yin Xuan and Yin Shishi also showed looks of shock, because at this moment, Yin Qi was like a god of slaughter, the Samurai Sword still dripping with blood, his whole body stained red with blood, even on his face.

Yin Xuan's face looked somewhat ugly, and he gritted his teeth: "You killed them all?"

Yin Qi said indifferently: "If I don't kill them, should I offer them up? Big brother, Father was right; the Japanese have wolfish ambitions. You treat them with sincerity, yet they are plotting against your whole family. This Xuezi is not Fujiwara Jiro's sister at all, but his concubine. He had her take care of you, and even marry you, just so you would marry into his family, and then he could swallow up our Yin Family's assets."

Yin Shishi was full of indignation and gritted her teeth: "That's right, big brother, this is what Fujiwara Jiro just told me himself. He said that after we get married, I wouldn't be able to leave this room, you would be bedridden, and he wouldn't save our parents, but would instead take the opportunity to swallow our Yin Family's property."

Yin Xuan staggered, his expression changing constantly.

He had previously been immersed in Xuezi's gentleness, and there were many things he was unwilling to think about.

But after being told this by his second brother and little sister, he understood instantly.

If it were truly as his little sister said, Fujiwara Jiro could completely and legally take over all of the Yin Family's property.

He had invited a wolf into the house and almost harmed his whole family!

After a long time, Yin Xuan finally recovered. He took a deep breath and said: "Second brother, everything is my fault. However, this matter has nothing to do with Xuezi; she is innocent, please let her go."

Xuezi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yin-kun, let me go, I am innocent. I promise, I will never speak of tonight's events."

Yin Qi shook his head and said indifferently: "I only believe that the dead cannot leak secrets. Big brother, I am afraid I cannot agree to your request. I cannot entrust the lives of our entire family to a Japanese woman. If you truly want to protect her, then the bond between us brothers ends here."

Yin Xuan's expression changed. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything and turned away powerlessly.

This action was considered a tacit approval of Yin Qi's approach.

"No!"

Xuezi screamed, and she ran outside like a madwoman.

Whoosh!

Yin Qi flicked his right arm, and the Samurai Sword instantly plunged into Xuezi's body, piercing through her heart.

The powerful force carried her body forward as she lunged out.

The sharp tip of the blade stuck deeply into the floor tiles.

"Let's go, I will take you away and find a place to hide first."

Yin Qi said.

He certainly could not stay here any longer; there would be a great disturbance tonight, so he had to arrange for Yin Xuan and Yin Shishi first.

It was not very far from the Newspaper Office, so they could go there to take shelter.

Yin Xuan was somewhat distraught, but he forced himself to nod.

Passing by the corpse of Xuezi, Yin Qi pulled out the Samurai Sword.

This blade was very sharp; he would have use for it tonight.

Walking out of the Martial Arts Hall, it was quiet outside; it seemed the uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom remnants had not yet begun.

Yin Qi seized the time to send Yin Xuan and Yin Shishi to the Newspaper Office.

When Tao Chengzhang saw Yin Qi covered in blood, he was also startled.

However, he did not ask much, taking the Yin Xuan siblings into a secret room, only urging Yin Qi to be careful.

Yin Qi turned and left the Newspaper Office; he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the Prefecture Office, only to see a Signal Flare shoot up into the sky, exploding in mid-air like a blooming silver flower.

This Signal Flare was like an on-switch, causing the silent city to instantly boil over with the sounds of killing rising from all sides.

"It has begun!"

Yin Qi whispered to himself, his eyes brighter than ever before.

Without hesitation, he hurried toward the Prefecture Office.

Tonight, he would use the uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom remnants to sweep away all dangerous factors; his primary target was naturally the Twelve Knights of England, because they had set their sights on the Yin Family.

Next was the Prefect; this man was insatiably greedy and fawned over foreigners, acting as an accomplice to the Westerners.

Only last was the Chen Family.

In fact, he had already guessed who had colluded with the Englishmen to plot against the Yin Family.

There was almost no need to think; it must have been the Chen Family.

The Twelve Knights had only been in Shaoxing for three days, not enough time for them to even familiarize themselves with the place, so how could they have plotted against the Yin Family? Therefore, those who assassinated the Western technicians at the Steam Engine Factory must have been the Chen Family.

In Shaoxing, only the Chen Family held such deep hatred for the Yin Family.

However, he had previously greeted Chen Yucheng, and the Chen Family would be a key target for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom remnants, so he only needed to go and kill the Twelve Knights and the Prefect.

By tomorrow, everything could be blamed on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom remnants.
