Looking at the contents of the contract, Ling Chen frowned slightly, pondering secretly. This was the part that had always puzzled him: the body placed in the tomb by Guo Qiang was not Ling Gengqiu. If so, why did he spend a huge sum to hire the Zhu Family to protect the tomb? Forty thousand taels of silver, that was an astronomical figure at the time. The more Ling Chen thought about it, the more he felt Guo Qiang was overdoing it.
Since the corpse in the tomb was fake, why would Guo Qiang waste so much money?
After thinking for a while, Ling Chen turned to Zhu Qing and asked, "When we were excavating the tomb, you tried to stop us several times. Later on, seeing we didn't heed the warnings, were you prepared to kill?"
Zhu Qing glanced at Zhu Houchang, nodded, and said, "Yes. According to our contract with Guo Qiang, if warnings were ineffective, we would take extreme measures to kill the intruders."
"I see."
