Extra five: Master Jade's gamble (2)
Six
In the evening, Xiangjia Town.
Originally, Lin Qiao'er wouldn't be so late, but she and Shu Wuzheng were together, so it was inconvenient to run too fast.
Xiangjia Town is really too remote, and none of the three roads leading here can run a carriage. Shu Wuzheng can only sit in a sedan chair. His palanquin is also specially made to fit an entire wheelchair in.
There is only one inn in Xiangjia Town, called Xiangjia Old Shop, which has been in this town for some years.
Lin Qiaoer walked into the store and took out the portrait of jade, gold and silver to show the old shopkeeper. This portrait is from Shu Wuzheng's handwriting. Shu Wuzheng's family history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are quite attained, especially good at Danqing, just by relying on Lin Qiaoer's dictation, he portrayed the cynical demeanor of Master Yu very well. What's more, Master Yu has small eyes and a big mouth, and his features are obvious, and anyone who has seen him is not easy to forget in a short period of time.
Although the old shopkeeper was old, he had a good memory, and when he saw the portrait, he immediately said, "I've been here." The guest arrived the day before yesterday, stayed for one night and left. ”
The corners of Lin Qiao'er's eyes jumped. They guessed correctly, Yujin Yin left Miao Jiang alive.
The old shopkeeper looked at the portrait, and then at Lin Qiaoer, his face was full of doubts, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not speak.
Lin Qiao'er said, "Old man, what do you want to say?"
The old shopkeeper hesitated and asked, "Who are you this guest officer?"
Lin Qiao'er thought for a while and said seriously: "Friend." ”
"Oh, that's good. The old shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was ...... You're his. ”
Lin Qiao'er said: "Even if I am his wife, what's the difference?"
"Of course it's good, of course it's good. It's just that there is another girl who came with this guest officer. Well, that girl, she's so good-looking, just like you, just like you, so good-looking. The old shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, shook his head with a smile and sighed, "My old man has never seen such a good-looking girl in his life, and he didn't expect that he was about to enter the ground, and he would have such a blessing in his eyes, and he saw two in succession." ”
The old shopkeeper probably hadn't noticed that the face of the good-looking girl in front of him had become quite ugly.
The old shopkeeper has a good memory, he remembers jade, gold and silver, and remembers Master Shi even more. A shroud came to his inn in broad daylight for no reason, making him angry for a while.
Master Shi's place of residence is not far from Xiangjia's old shop, walking through two narrow alleys, turning two or three corners.
It was a very old blue brick house, but compared to the surrounding houses, it was a building, because Master Shi's main business was to tie paper horses and make paper money, and his income was acceptable. The Shroud is just a side hustle, and it's just an occasional one.
As soon as she walked to the front of the house, Lin Qiao'er sensed a strong aura of death. Even though she didn't see anything, she didn't smell anything, but she felt it. This kind of ability is learned from jade, gold and silver. Since the beating school, he has saved her life at least three times.
Lin Qiao'er frowned, obviously this was not what she wanted to happen.
Pushing open the door, she saw Master Shi's body. Master Shi sat on a small stool, holding a wooden hammer in his right hand and a money stamp in his left hand, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was making paper money, and there was still a trace of a smile on his face.
In addition to Master Shi, there were two corpses in this house. An old woman who was about to wash rice and cook and a young man who chopped wood should be Master Shi's wife and son. Look at the situation, not to mention fear and resistance, they were killed in an instant before they even figured out what was happening.
There are no scars. I couldn't find a single scar on my body. It's as if a ghost from the hell of Ahbi has taken their souls away without warning.
Lin Qiao'er felt a little cold.
"can kill three lives in a row in an instant, killing people invisibly, the murderer is undoubtedly a top master. Shu Wuzheng pushed the wheelchair inside and out, his face solemn, "There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who have this kind of skill." ”
This kind of top master went to a small market town on the border of Miaojiang to kill a paper horse master's family, and the reason could only be to extinguish his mouth. And the reason for the extinction can only be related to jade, gold and silver.
Lin Qiao'er nodded. In fact, she had already counted it by heart several times. In addition to the abbot of Shaolin, the head of Wudang and other predecessors who rarely set foot in martial arts, there are only a handful of top players who are still walking around the rivers and lakes and have the ability to turn jade, gold and silver into a dead man.
"In any case, it's much easier to have this clue. There are only a few people left who are suspicious. ”
Lin Qiaoer agreed with Shu Wudisputing's opinion. It's better to investigate just a few people than to aimlessly look for a needle in a haystack. However, they did not expect the answer to come so quickly.
The one who gave them the answer was still the old shopkeeper of Xiang's old store.
"When people get old, it's a bit upside down. As soon as the old shopkeeper saw them returning, he patted his head and said, "Actually, there was another guest who came that day." ”
Lin Qiao'er's mind was still on those top masters, and she didn't pay much attention to the words of the old shopkeeper, so she asked casually, "Oh, who is it?"
"An old man, very old, older than me, so old that he needs someone to help him walk. The old shopkeeper said with a smile, with a little smug on his face, perhaps because he felt that his body was quite good.
Lin Qiao'er sighed secretly.
An old man, a person who is old enough to walk and needs support, is probably not the goal she wants. Her goal is to be a person who has the ability to bring down Jade Gold and Silver.
Shu Wuzheng was interested and asked, "What's so special about this old man?"
"He was very old, he wore a poplin robe, he was so old that his back was bent up, and he coughed when he walked. The old shopkeeper chattered, "Such an old man still needs two little girls to support." Those two little girls were younger than my granddaughter. Alas, what a wicked......"
"Zhao Tianba!" Lin Qiao'er shouted.
Shu Wuzheng's face was solemn and abnormal, and he nodded slowly.
In the upper room where Yujin Yin rested, Lin Qiao'er and Shu Wuzheng sat opposite each other.
The outline of this matter is already relatively clear.
Yujin Yin returned from Miaojiang safely and met Zhao Tianba in Xiangjia Town, or in other words, Zhao Tianba waited for Yujin Yin in Xiangjia Town. Then, Zhao Tianba killed Yujin Yin and asked people to transport the body to the "Miaobi Villa".
"This old ghost in a green robe, why did he do this?" Lin Qiao'er tried her best to suppress her anger, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth a little when she said it.
"The killing on the rivers and lakes is nothing more than love, hatred, fame, and profit. Shu Wuzheng said slowly, "But I've thought about it, between Zhao Tianba and Mr. Yu, it seems that they have nothing to do with these four." ”
Although Zhao Tianba and Yu Jinyin do not have a deep friendship, they do not have any festivals; the two of them became famous in different times and ways, but they are both the most famous big names in the rivers and lakes, and it can be said that everyone knows everything, and there is no need to kill each other to improve their reputation; as for the matter of love, how can Yu Jinyin be jealous of an old man who is about to die?
Zhao Tianba's reason for wanting to kill Yujin and Yin doesn't make sense at all.
"Not for himself. Lin Qiaoer said.
Shu Wuzheng did not speak.
Lin Qiao'er stared at him for a long time, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Shu Wuzheng did not avoid her forced gaze, he muttered: "There are some things, although they are reasonable to reason, but they can't be said without evidence. Because once you say it, the consequences are too serious. ”
Since Zhao Tianba is not doing this for himself, he is entrusted by others. Whoever asks him to do this must be able to get great benefit from it. Who can benefit from the death of Yujinyin? I am afraid that 99 out of 100 people will immediately think of "Yuan Ji."
Although outsiders still don't know how big the bets of "Yuan Ji" and Master Yu are in this game, the bets in the first three games are already amazingly large. It is said that this time it is the sum of the first three innings. "Yuanji" made a bloody capital and wanted to get it back at one time with interest. If this is the case, then neither side of this game can afford to lose.
In particular, if the "Yuanji" collapses, hundreds of wealthy gentry and tycoons in the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River and tens of thousands of well-off families will be ruined overnight.
Therefore, this game of "Source Notes" must not be lost.
Of course, some other gangs that have deep grievances with the "Heavenly Dao Hall" cannot be completely ruled out. But the most suspicious is still "Yuanji".
It's just that if it was really "Yuanji" who did it, it would mean that "Tiandaotang" and "Yuanji" had completely broken up, and what would follow would inevitably be a big fight between the two gangs.
"Tiandaotang" has been in the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the masters in the gang are like clouds; "Yuanji" has been in seven provinces of Caixiong, and has been operating hard for decades, and has countless warriors under its command. Once the fight starts, it will inevitably sweep all the organizations that have the same voice with them involved. The breadth of its involvement and the severity of the killings can be described by the word "catastrophe".
It is related to the overall situation of the rivers and lakes, and the luck of martial arts, no wonder Shu Wuzheng is so cautious.
Lin Qiao'er said coldly: "No matter who is involved, no matter what the consequences are, I will definitely find out." ”
Shu Wuzheng's heart sank.
Outside, the evening breeze is gentle and the bamboo shadows are swaying. Inside the room, there was silent silence, only the occasional burst of lights, making a "beep" sound.
After a while, Shu Wuzheng smiled and asked softly, "Are you hungry?" ”
Lin Qiao'er was very surprised: "You are cooking?"
"Why, you can't trust my craft? My master is a famous chef in Beijing. ”
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”
"Good. ”
Shu Wuzheng's wheelchair is very delicately built, and it can move in and out of the small guest room with ease. Soon, the kitchen was wafting with bursts of scent. Lin Qiao'er wanted to go in to help several times, but she only added a lot of chaos, and every time she was driven out by Shu Wuzheng with a smile, she had to sit there obediently, listening to the pleasant sound of the pot and wok, smelling the tempting fragrance, and gradually filling her heart with a strange feeling. For a woman who is not too young, the tranquility and warmth of home is an eternal temptation.
There are only three kinds of dishes - scrambled eggs, boiled tofu and fried small fish, and there is only one soup - old hen simmered with mushrooms.
When the first scrambled egg was served, Lin Qiaoer couldn't help but move her index finger. She is a real gourmet, and naturally knows that only a true master can make the world's best taste in such an ordinary dish.
Finally, when Shu Wuzheng wiped his hands clean and sat down at the table, Lin Qiaoer couldn't wait to take a piece of scrambled eggs and put them in her mouth, chewing and tasting them slowly. Miss Lin first opened her eyes wide, and then a smile overflowed the corners of her mouth and gradually expanded. That situation is really amorous.
Shu Wuzheng looked at her in a daze, his eyes full of tenderness and infinity.
Lin Qiao'er swallowed the egg slowly, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, she turned around abruptly, and shouted out of the door: "What are you doing sneaky, get out!"
The lights in the room flickered, and a man slowly walked in.
Seven
The man who walked into the room was long, with ape arms and a bee waist, plump and handsome, dressed in a silver-gray robe, holding a sheathed long sword in his left hand, and there was no sneaky appearance.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb the two of you. It's a pity that I didn't learn the art well, and I couldn't hide it from Miss Lin. I also hope that the eldest lady and Mr. Shu will forgive their sins. ”
Lin Qiao'er sneered: "Less nonsense." Who are you?"
"Under SC Tang Sect twelfth generation disciple Tang Xing. ”
Lin Qiao'er's pupils contracted suddenly: "'The sky is full of blood rain' Tang Xing?"
"Exactly!"
Lin Qiao'er's cheeks were touched, and she said with disdain: "I heard that a few years ago, there was a traitor in the SC Tang Sect, who killed the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and has been pursued by the Tang Sect all over the world, is it you? I heard that there has been an extremely vicious and shameless thief in the rivers and lakes recently, and it is also you, right? You still dare to claim to be a disciple of the Tang Sect, a shameless person in the world, you can be regarded as one!"
A wave of anger rose on Tang Xing's handsome face, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten. However, he quickly recovered as before, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is really experienced, and she almost fell in your way." ”
Masters compete with each other, and they are the most jealous and frivolous.
Tang Xing was originally the most outstanding master of the younger generation of the Tang Sect, and before he was twenty years old, his hidden weapon swordsmanship surpassed many uncles and uncles, and he was expected to be the best candidate for the twelfth generation of the Tang Sect. It's a pity that he became famous at a young age, and he was inevitably burdened by fame, and gradually became contaminated with many vices, greedy for flowers, lustful, and disrespectful to teachers. Although the elders of the Tang Sect taught in many ways, they had little effect. In the end, the Tang Sect had no choice but to confine him and let him think about it. The original intention was to hope that he would learn his way back, but unexpectedly, his bad habits would be difficult to change, and he actually killed the guard's fellow disciples and brothers, and went out of the Tang Sect instead. Since then, there has been no door rules, and he has been rampant in the rivers and lakes, acting recklessly, and has become the most notorious flower thief in the martial arts in recent years.
With such a rebel, the Tang Sect naturally had a dull face, and had to spread the martial arts post widely, expelled him from the division, and then went out of the elite and vowed to clean up the portal. The government also issued a sea capture document and a reward order because Tang Xing had committed a lot of crimes, and many of the hard handles in the six doors were gearing up to bring him to justice.
Tang Xing also knew it, knowing that there were countless good hands in the rivers and lakes who wanted to take him, he was still unscrupulous. The masters of the Tang Sect and the six doors of the hunt heard that they were nowhere to be seen, chased after them and did not see their shapes, and they were about to succeed several times, but they were always escaped by him at the last moment, which made him hurt a lot of hunters. After analyzing it, everyone felt that Tang Xing's escapes were a bit unbelievable. If it's not his luck, or someone is secretly helping. It's just that since he can't even reach Tang Xing's shadow, this person who secretly helps is always just a guess.
About a year ago, Tang Xing suddenly disappeared and did not know what to do.
It is said that it was because Master Yu planned to gamble with the Tang Sect and wanted to go out in person and bring him to justice. Although Tang Xing was arrogant and domineering, he didn't dare to try Master Yu's methods in person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the bad news of Master Yu came out, Tang Xing immediately reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and he appeared in front of Lin Qiao'er so swaggeringly.
Lin Qiao'er didn't laugh angrily: "No wonder so many people can't catch you, it's really a bit of a doorway." ”
"Praise a lot. Here's what to do. ”
"Oh, do I have something worth discussing with you?"
"Then it can be regarded as a good persuasion. Please leave the eldest lady to go back to the Central Plains immediately, and leave the things here to others to do well. ”
"Who is the other person?"
"I would like to inform you of this in detail. ”
"What if I say no?"
Tang Xing smiled slightly, and a trace of contempt appeared on his handsome face: "I have heard for a long time that Miss Lin is not only a light martial artist, but also a unique martial artist, and her secret weapon kung fu is also a must. ”
Lin Qiao'er stood up and laughed: "That's good, that's great! I also want to see your 'blood rain' and see how many catties and taels you little thief has!"
A touch of anger flashed on Tang Xing's face, and he slowly spread out his right hand, and in his white palm, three small silver steel balls were turning drippingly.
Lin Qiao'er said coldly: "You don't have to pretend, just use the Tang Sect's quenching secret weapon to see if Miss Ben can catch it." ”
"If it's against Master Yu, of course I'll do my best. But for you, Miss Lin......" Tang Xing shook his head and smiled lewdly, "I have always believed that beautiful women are not used to kill!"
Lin Qiao'er smiled like a flower: "Just rely on you, a little lewd thief, and also deserve Master Yu to do it?" She is like this, the more angry she is, the calmer she becomes.
Tang Xing sneered: "Then try it!"
The white light flashed, and two steel balls spun and flew towards Lin Qiao'er's towering chest. The steel ball flies very slowly, and the direction is not tricky, no matter who it is, if you close your eyes and grab it with your hand, you can catch it right, and the world-famous Tangmen secret weapon seems to have nothing to do with it.
Lin Qiao'er's face was solemn, and the thumb of her right hand buckled the middle finger and stood in front of her chest. She can despise Tang Xing, but she can't underestimate Tang Sect's secret weapon.
Just as the two steel balls were about to fly, there was a flash of white light, and the remaining beads in Tang Xing's hand flew quickly, and the speed was a hundred times faster? There was a crisp sound, and it hit the two steel balls in the lead, and the three beads suddenly changed direction, one to the head, one to the waist, and the other to the lower abdomen.
Attack the enemy's most unexpected parts in unexpected ways at unexpected times!
This is the secret weapon of the Tang Sect that has been powerful for hundreds of years!
But that's not all there is to the secret weapons of the Tang Sect.
The three small steel balls were fierce at the last moment, but they couldn't help Miss Lin. Lin Qiao'er flicked her fingers, and the steel ball immediately changed direction, counterattacking Tang Xing at a faster speed and more fierce force than the coming momentum.
"Good!"
Tang Xing's right arm trembled slightly, and three more beads flew out, touching the three steel balls that flew back, and took Miss Lin in six different directions. Lin Qiao'er raised her right hand lightly, and with a move of "waving five strings", the six steel balls flew back again.
"Good!"
Tang Xing shouted again, his right arm waved sharply, and he didn't know that dozens or hundreds of steel balls flew out, or hit directly, or flew diagonally, or swirled, and in an instant, the wind in this small room was poignant, and the white light was dazzling.
"Bloody rain"!
Make the enemy unavoidable, undodgable.
This is the trick that Tang Xing relies on to become famous! This is the essence of Tangmen's secret weapon!
But this is not Tang Xing's most powerful killer!
Lin Qiao'er screamed, like a fiery red cloud rising into the sky, a pair of gold-painted sleeves tumbling and flying, but only in an instant, the wind stopped, and the white light was exhausted.
"'Bloody rain', but that's it!"
Miss Lin laughed heartily.
At this moment, a sword light rose from the ground and sprinkled towards Miss Lin like a flying dancer. This sword light is faster than all the hidden weapons just now, and it is more accurate and ruthless!
At this time, Lin Qiao'er was in mid-air, she was about to fall, the old power was about to be exhausted, and the new power was not born, and her dexterous hands were busy dealing with the flying hidden weapon, and the empty door between her chest and abdomen was wide open.
Tang Xing's sword was aimed at the chest and abdomen that she couldn't defend. This is the opportunity he was waiting for.
This is Tang Xing's real killer! It is also his last trick! When this trick is used, he has never missed.
Lin Qiaoer made a mistake.
In the eyes of all the people in the rivers and lakes, there are only two most terrifying weapons in the SC Tang Sect - hidden weapons and poisons!
Therefore, Lin Qiao'er ignored Tang Xing's sword!
Masters compete, life and death are up to Russia, any mistake is enough to kill, let alone such an obvious mistake?
Therefore, Miss Lin could only watch Tang Xing's long sword stab into her lower abdomen.
At this moment of life and death, only a muffled sound of "grabbing" was heard, and then a crisp loud sound, and the sword light like a match flew straight out of the window and disappeared into the vast dark night.
Miss Lin fell to the ground, her big sleeves were raised, and with a sudden sound like a rainstorm, hundreds of steel beads were inlaid into a huge plum blossom on the wooden wall, and the five petals were arranged neatly.
And Tang Xing's people, along with his sword, disappeared without a trace.
If you miss a blow, you will retreat with your whole body, and you will never drag mud and water. Tang Xing was able to survive the round-up of so many masters, and there was always a little reason.
Lin Qiao'er looked at Shu Wuzheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a concerned expression, and asked, "You saved me?"
Shu Wuzheng said: "Yes." ”
"How did you save it?"
"Hidden weapons. ”
"Hidden weapon?"
Shu Wuzheng nodded.
"What kind of secret weapon? can actually knock out Tang Xing's sword?"
Shu Wuzheng didn't speak, and shook it under the armrest of the wheelchair, and there was a muffled sound of "grabbing" the ground, Lin Qiaoer only felt that there was a flower in front of her, and the plum blossom on the wooden wall opposite was in the middle, and there was a little more stamen.
Lin Qiao'er smiled: "It turns out that there are so many weird things in your wheelchair. ”
Shu Wuzheng also smiled: "It's just self-defense, I didn't expect to make a contribution today." ”
"Who made it for you?"
"Myself. ”
"Yourself?" Lin Qiao'er stared at him in surprise. She found that this person always gave her some surprising surprises.
"Yes, since I was able to move my hands, I had to do my homework for three or four hours a day to make my hands more flexible. I've done a lot of fun stuff and I've learned wood carving. I'll carve one for you when you're free. ”
Lin Qiao'er laughed: "If the carving doesn't look like it, I'll smash your stall." ”

Yujin Yin is eating roasted whole sheep.
Every time he saw Master Yu, he seemed to be eating.
"When you have something to eat, eat it quickly, and eat a little more. ”
This is the famous quote of Master Jade.
Because you have to keep your energy as strong as possible, because you don't know when you're going to eat your next meal, because you don't even know if there's a next meal to eat.
So Master Yu ate regardless of it, and ate heartily. Even the beauties who have been with them all the time can't take care of it.
Zhao Tianba looked at him gobbling up, and his cloudy old eyes showed a look of envy. finally waited for Master Yu's movements to slow down a little before he smiled and sighed: "I really envy your good appetite." ”
Master Yu chewed a mouthful of meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "Everyone has been young." ”
Zhao Tianba smiled: "That's right. ”
When the whole roasted whole sheep turned into a pile of bones, and a jar of ten-pound aged Fenjiu also bottomed out, Master Yu patted his bulging belly, sighed with satisfaction, and asked, "What about Xiangyang?"
Zhao Tianba was slightly stunned, and said, "I didn't expect that what you care about the most is her." ”
Master Yu's answer was simple: "Because she can't protect herself." ”
Zhao Tianba nodded, "She's fine." ”
"I want to see her. ”
"Not right now. ”
"When?"
Zhao Tianba groaned: "When you should see her, you will naturally see her." ”
Master Yu's little eyes narrowed, staring at Zhao Tianba, and said word by word: "I hope that when I see her, she is really good!"
"This is natural. Zhao Tianba giggled, slowly stood up with the support of the two little girls, and arched his hand towards the jade, gold and silver, "Master Yu has a good rest, and the old man is gone." ”
"I don't send it. ”
Zhao Tianba walked to the door, turned around and said: "This Zhuangzi is called 'Rumeng', small is a little small, and the scenery is not bad. And there is wine, meat, and women, and your body has not fully recovered, so you might as well stay for a few more days. As long as you are patient, you will be able to get your wish. ”
Yu Jinyin said lightly: "Thank you for reminding me." ”
Yujin Yin really lived in the "Dream Villa". As Zhao Tianba said, the scenery of the villa is beautiful, the villagers are very thoughtful, and there is a girl named Rumeng who accompanies her day and night, and she lives quite comfortably. In his spare time, Yujin Yin walked around the Zhuangzi, and inadvertently found some cleverly arranged traps, hidden hidden cards very carefully, if someone wanted to break in, most of the scene of less than a cup of tea would turn into a hard corpse. Similarly, if someone tries to break out, the result is not much different.
Naturally, the layout here is worse than the general altar of the "Five Poisons Sect" in Miaojiang. But in order to keep him, Zhao Tianba added at least three shackles to him.
The first shackle is, of course, this small mountain villa full of organs and dark cards; the second shackle is Zhao Tianba's acupoint technique of solo martial arts, although Master Yu has come out of the coffin, his whole body is not easy at all. Zhao Tianba's thin palms had touched at least seventeen or eighteen important acupuncture points on his body. Despite this, Zhao Tianba himself knew that these two shackles were not very reliable, so he did not forget to hang the largest and heaviest shackles on the neck of Master Yu - that was Xiangyang!
Therefore, no matter whether Master Yu is happy or not, he can only live here in a proper manner. Until one day, Rumeng suddenly told him a shocking news......
Nine
When Zhao Tianba trapped Yujin Yin in the "Rumeng Villa", it was probably not clear that the entire "Heavenly Dao Hall" was looking for him.
Lin Qiaoer knew that it was not easy to find Zhao Tianba. Although the mystery of this green-robed old ghost is not as good as that of jade, gold and silver, he also understands the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit very well.
Lin Qiao'er asked Shu Wuzheng: "How to find the law?"
Shu Wuzheng groaned: "Whether there are rabbits or not, find the rabbit hole first." ”
Lin Qiao'er smiled: "It makes sense. ”
In the information of the "Heavenly Dao Hall", there are detailed records about Zhao Tianba, and one of the rabbit holes is not too far from their current location.
Yilin Qiao'er means to "knock on the door".
Although the foundation of "Tiandaotang" is in Jiangbei, its strength in Jiangnan cannot be underestimated, and its ties with some local gangs are also quite close. In a short period of time, Lin Qiaoer has mobilized more than 20 good players, and he has already put down the "rush" frame.
Shu Wuzheng disagreed with this for two reasons. The first is that it is not appropriate to make a big move before the matter is completely clarified; and the second is that it is impossible to determine whether Zhao Tianba is really at home, and if he goes to the door with such fanfare, there is a suspicion of bullying the slave with the master, and it is easy to give someone a handle. As a last resort, don't easily make an enemy like Zhao Tianba.
Lin Qiao'er said, "That makes sense. ”
Ever since she was with Shu Wuzheng, Lin Qiaoer has become more and more fond of saying these three words. Thinking of Shu Hongbo's son, his head must be full of wisdom. Anyway, someone helped with ideas, and Miss Lin didn't bother to use her brain.
Since it was decided not to "go to the door", Shu Wuzheng handed over the worship post in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the names of Lin Qiaoer and Shu Wuzheng were written on the post.
While waiting for the report from Menzi, Miss Lin was very impatient, walking around the gate, and couldn't help but rush in several times, seeing Shu Wuzheng's calm demeanor, she had to endure it desperately. If it had been jade, gold and silver that came with her, they would have already sat in the flower hall and drank tea.
Shu Wuzheng and Yujin Yin are two completely different people.
Shu Wuzheng is gentle and considerate, making people unconsciously feel the warmth of peace and tranquility, while jade, gold and silver are cynical and chic, always making people burst out with infinite passion and vitality.
Even if it is "dead", the two of them give people a completely different feeling. If Shu Wuzheng dies, Lin Qiao'er will be immersed in infinite grief and will not be able to forget it for a long time. However, the bad news of jade, gold and silver made Miss Delin feel agitated and high-spirited.
Fortunately, the minions of the Zhao Mansion did not let Miss Lin wait too long, and soon a clear voice greeted her from the inside with a dry haha, a group of family members hurriedly rolled out a bright red carpet at the door, and another group of family members wearing red and hanging colors blew suona and put off guns, which is completely the highest etiquette for receiving VIPs in the rivers and lakes.
Naturally, the head of the "Heavenly Dao Hall" is worthy of this etiquette.
Lin Qiao'er frowned and shouted, "Rong Jun, what the hell are you messing with?"
At this time, the dry haha had already arrived at the door, and an extremely tall and thin green-robed man slammed to the ground: "Miss Lin is here, Rong Jun has missed the distance, many offended, many offended!"
When Rong Jun raised his head, even someone as cultured as Shu Wuzheng couldn't help but laugh. This extremely tall and thin man had a triangular face, a pair of triangular eyes, and a triangular mouth.
"Blue-faced Snake" Rong Jun is the housekeeper of Zhao Tianba's industry.
Rong Jun was slightly stunned when he saw Shu Wuzheng, and immediately arched with a smile on his face: "This must be Shu Gongzi, Shu Weng is okay with his old man?"
Shu Wuzheng straightened up, respectfully replied, and said, "Don't dare to ask, the family is fine!"
Rong Jun, who was smiling all over his face, wanted to say something, but Miss Lin was already extremely impatient and shouted, "Rong Jun, where is Zhao Tianba?"
"It's really unfortunate, my old lady didn't know that the eldest lady was here today, so ......"
Lin Qiao'er stared coldly at Rong Junqing's miserable triangular face and interrupted him: "Rong Jun, you have two choices. First, tell me where Zhao Tianba is. Second, I'll crush a bone in you. ”
Rong Jun hurriedly said: "The eldest lady is joking......
Before he could finish his words, Rong Jun suddenly felt a red cloud flash in front of him, and then froze there like a bamboo pole.
Shu Wuzheng sighed and said, "Steward Rong, you have also heard some news about Master Yu, and the eldest lady is definitely not in the mood to joke with you now." ”
Rong Jun's blue face turned pale all of a sudden, and he smiled bitterly: "Yes, the little one understands, the little one understands, but the little one really doesn't know the whereabouts of the old lady......"
Lin Qiao'er stretched out a hand, slowly stroked his back, and said lightly: "If you choose the second path, it doesn't matter." Anyway, you have a lot of bones in you, and it doesn't matter if you crush one of them, right?"
Large drops of sweat rolled down from Rong Jun's forehead. The housekeepers who were busy laying out the carpet and blowing the suona were dumbfounded.
"The eldest lady is merciful, the small, the small one really doesn't know. The old lady is the master, and the little ones are the slaves, so where does the old man want to go, how can he tell us to be his subordinates? Miss, do you say?"
Lin Qiao'er's fingers stayed on Rong Jun's lumbar spine and nodded lightly: "Well, I think this is it." After crushing it, you just won't be able to walk, and the work on your hands is still there, so don't be too nervous. ”
"Miss, aunt, oh ......"
Lin Qiao'er added a little strength, and Rong Jun couldn't help screaming.
"You bear with me, and you'll be fine soon. Lin Qiao'er added a little more strength.
Rong Jun screamed: "The eldest lady spares her life, I heard that there is a new red girl in the city's 'Yixiang Courtyard', called Xiangyun." Old lady, old lady may have gone to that place, ouch, the eldest lady's subordinates are merciful......"
At the beginning of the lanterns, the business of Yixiang Yuan was already very hot.
The old bustard flirted with the guests who came and went with the silk scarf, and the fat powder that had accumulated too thick on her face fell down with her exaggerated movements. A large teapot came over and bit her ear for a few words.
The old bustard said impatiently: "I told you a long time ago, Xiangyun is going to accompany the old man tonight, and no one can see him." ”
The big teapot promised: "Yes, yes, but the guest is more special, and he seems to be very rich." ”
As soon as he heard the word money, the old bustard's expression changed greatly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How much money can he give?"
"I don't know how much he's going to pay. However," the big teapot raised a silver ticket in his hand, unable to hide the smugness on his face, "this is what he rewarded me." ”
The old bustard snatched the silver ticket, but he just glanced at it, and immediately screamed: "God, one hundred taels." This man is a big fool! Where is he? Quick, take me to him. God, one hundred taels to reward the next person, the God of Wealth has descended to earth......"
"At the back door. ”
The old bustard immediately jerked his fat body and rushed towards the back door at an alarming speed. Of course, she didn't forget to stuff the silver ticket into her pocket.
The big teapot followed, and as he ran, he slapped himself seventeen or eight times in a row in frustration.
When the old bustard saw Shu Wuzheng at the back door, his eyes widened like two eggs, and he stuttered for a while: "Yes, this son wants to see my fragrant girl?"
Shu Wuzheng's face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "Yes." ”
Although he read poetry and books and had a wide range of knowledge, it was the first time he had done such a thing as visiting a kiln. It's just that he can't let Miss Lin come to the kiln to recruit prostitutes, right?
The old bustard was stunned for a long time, and laughed eatingly: "Son, you want to see Miss Xiang, what are you going to do with her?"
Shu Wuzheng had completely calmed down and said with a smile: "I heard that the rule in the kiln is to accept money to meet customers. As for what to do with her, that's my own business, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the prince is really fast. It's just that Miss Xiang's worth is very high. ”
Shu Wuzheng said: "How tall is it?"
The old bustard squinted at the gentle Shu Wuzheng, although she couldn't tell where this person came from, but judging from the way he dressed, she could conclude that this person was by no means an ordinary person. She was thinking about how she could get a hard shot from this "chick".
"Money, it's not really the most important thing. Even if the prince pays a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid that Miss Xiang will not be able to accompany you tonight. ”
"Why?"
"Because, Miss Xiang is going to accompany another distinguished guest tonight. ”
"Which one of your honorable guests?"
"Well, it's hard to talk about the old woman. ”
"Isn't it Mr. Zhao Tianba?"
The old bustard's eyes widened again: "What, it turns out that the prince and the old lady Zhao are familiar with each other?"
Shu Wuzheng smiled and let out a long breath. He knew that he didn't need to do the rest of the work.
The old bustard's eyes flickered, and there was already one more person between her and Shu Wuzheng.
Miss Lin in a red dress and a red dress.
Lin Qiaoer has always liked to be straightforward. She took out a silver ticket, handed it to the old bustard, and said coldly: "Take me to see Zhao Tianba, this thousand taels is yours." If you don't lead the way, I'll cut off both of your ears. ”
A three-inch-long, glittering willow knife rested on the old bustard's fat face.
Ten
Seeing Lin Qiao'er, Zhao Tianba didn't look surprised at all, it seemed that he had been waiting for Lin Qiao'er to come to the door.
"Old lady Zhao, it's really good Yaxing. Lin Qiao'er smiled skillfully, but her beautiful big eyes shot a sharper look than a blade.
Zhao Tianba lay on the soft collapse, coughed, and sighed: "When people are old, they like to be lively." I didn't think you'd find this place. ”
Lin Qiao'er said: "People do bad things, no matter where they hide, it's useless." ”
Zhao Tianba continued to lie on his side, and several girls rubbed his shoulders and beat his back respectively, unable to distinguish which ones were from the kiln and which ones were brought by him.
"I didn't hide. Why should I hide?"
Lin Qiao'er walked into the room, pulled over a stool, and sat down opposite Zhao Tianba, posing as a long conversation all night. She used extraordinary means to deal with the "green-faced snake" Rong Jun and the old bustard, and now that she has found the right owner, she is not in a hurry.
"A few days ago, you went to Xiangjia Town?"
Zhao Tianba narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and nodded.
"In Xiangjia Town, you saw Yujin Yin?"
Zhao Tianba blinked and nodded again.
"What was he like then?"
Zhao Tianba said with a smile: "At that time, he was eating bacon, and he brought a very beautiful girl to take a bath in the room." ”
Lin Qiao'er's cheeks twitched, and she said coldly, "Where did the girl come from?"
"It is said that she is the holy daughter of the 'Five Poisons Sect', called Xiangyang. Zhao Tianba showed a look of envy on his face and sighed, "That girl is beautiful and gentle." Why is Master Jade's luck always so good?"
A touch of anger rose on Lin Qiao'er's incomparably beautiful face, as if she was ready to attack at any moment. Shu Wuzheng sighed secretly, leaned over to her in a wheelchair, and gently held Lin Qiao'er's hand.
In her anger, Miss Lin trembled, exhaled softly, and slowly calmed down.
Zhao Tianba looked at this scene, and his face showed a hint of surprise slightly.
After a while, Lin Qiao'er said lightly: "Since he brought out all the saints of the 'Five Poisons Sect', it means that he has defeated the 'Five Poisons Sect' and obtained the 'Blood Lingzhi'?"
Zhao Tian said domineeringly: "According to common sense, it should be like this." ”
Lin Qiao'er suddenly raised her voice and said, "However, you killed him." ”
Zhao Tianba didn't speak, sat up with the support of the two little girls, and looked at Lin Qiao'er face to face.
Lin Qiao'er also got up slowly, and the two gold-painted big red sleeves were windless and automatic, like two huge butterflies fluttering in the air.
"The murderer dies, you should understand this truth. ”
Zhao Tianba said lightly: "Of course I understand. ”
The words have been said, and the rest is just a matter of life and death.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn and abnormal, and all the girls were frightened, but no one dared to scream, let alone run.
At this moment, Shu Wuzheng suddenly spoke: "Mr. Zhao, I believe that this matter is not your own intention. We just want to know who is the real murderer. ”
Zhao Tianba glanced at him: "Who are you?"
"There is no dispute in Xia Shu. ”
Zhao Tianba giggled: "There are not many people surnamed Shu in the rivers and lakes, and even fewer people who dare to pull Miss Lin into their hands." It turns out that you are Shu Hongbo's son. ”
Shu Wuzheng blushed.
"Since you are known as a wise man, you must also know the rules of my old man. Since I have been entrusted by others, when have I betrayed someone?"
That's a good rule.
Zhao Tianba can live so old in the strange rivers and lakes, in addition to his outstanding martial arts, there are always some reasons.
Shu Wuzheng smiled and said, "But as far as I know, there is a way for Mr. Zhao to change this rule." ”
"Really?
"Bet!"
Zhao Tianba burst out laughing, the whole room shook in laughter, not seeing it with his own eyes, it was hard to believe that this thin and withered old man could make such a loud sound in his body.
"Okay, it's worthy of Shu Hongbo's son, and he really has two sons. How about it, Miss Lin, if you really want to know the answer, you might as well gamble with my old man. ”
"Good. Lin Qiao'er didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, "How do you want to bet?"
Zhao Tianba narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "It's up to me to gamble as much as you want?"
"Not bad. ”
Zhao Tianba giggled again: "People say that the more beautiful a woman is, the prouder she is, and it's really good." Then take a gamble. If my old man loses, I will naturally tell you the truth. If you lose......"
Lin Qiao'er interrupted him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's get the question." ”
Zhao Tianba squinted at her for a while, and suddenly pulled up a girl who had been kneeling in front of him to beat his legs, lifted her clothes, and said, "Her name is Xiaocui." Let's guess, is the baby in her womb male or female?"
This girl named Xiaocui is only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, her belly is high and bulging, her face is as white as a piece of paper, and her whole body is trembling, if it weren't for Zhao Tianba pulling her, it looks like she might fall down at any time.
Lin Qiao'er sank her face, as if covered with a layer of frost, and said coldly: "Zhao Tianba, you are cheating!"
Zhao Tianba's face also sank. Since he became famous, few people have told him the word "cheating". Anyone who dares to say this has already dried up his blood.
Lin Qiao'er said: "Do you want us to wait here until Xiaocui gives birth to the child?"
Zhao Tianba said coldly: "You can also know the answer immediately, and you don't have to wait for a moment." ”
Lin Qiao'er said: "Know the answer immediately, unless you have the eye of heaven and can see through everything." ”
Zhao Tianba giggled and said, "I don't have the eye of the sky, but you have a knife! You can cut open her belly, won't you be able to know the result right away?"
All the girls let out an exclamation, and Xiao Cui groaned and fainted.
Lin Qiao'er said word by word: "Zhao Tianba, if you say this, you should die!"
"There are too many damn people in this world. Wouldn't everyone be lonely if everyone died?" Zhao Tianba said lightly, "In short, you only have three choices now. First, you wait until Xiaocui gives birth to the child, second, cut her belly, and third, you admit defeat......"
Lin Qiao'er didn't think about it, and immediately said: "I admit defeat." ”
Zhao Tianba laughed again: "That's good, that's great! Please, my old man is going to rest." ”
Lin Qiao'er also laughed, and said with a laugh: "Zhao Tianba, if you don't point out the murderer behind the scenes, don't expect to rest in this life." ”
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Zhao Tianba stared at her and said coldly: "Lin Qiao'er, you are cheating!"
Lin Qiao'er continued to smile and asked, "Oh?
"Of course. You've obviously thrown in the towel, why are you still entangled with my old man?"
"Did I say that if I lose, I won't look for you anymore?"
Zhao Tianba was stunned.
Shu Wuzheng laughed, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, you have been fooled." ”
Zhao Tianba was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "Being able to be a beautiful woman is also a great joy in life." ”
Lin Qiao'er suddenly restrained her smile and stared at him coldly, her sleeves bulging up like sails.
Zhao Tianba seemed to have lost his sharpness, so he simply lay down again, leaned obliquely on the crook of a little girl's arm, and said lazily: "It seems that Miss Lin wants to fight with me." It's a pity that my old man is old and has long lost interest in fighting and killing. ”
"This time, I'm afraid I can't help you. ”
Zhao Tianba said lightly: "Yes, when my old man wants to fight, others can't hide if they want to, and if I don't want to fight, there are not many people who can force me." ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Lin Qiaoer moved.
Not forward, but backward.
Because at this time, only a loud "boom" was heard, the window lattice was shattered, sawdust flew sideways, four black-clothed people broke through the window, and four sharp swords flashed with a terrifying cold light.
At the same time, a black soft sedan chair floated in from the window, like a bundle of paper, and fell lightly in front of Zhao Tianba. Zhao Tianba smiled and waved to Lin Qiao'er, who had big sleeves flying, and bowed into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair flew up lightly, floated out of the window, and disappeared into the flickering lights.
