285. Killer

Xia Mingche saw that Chanyi already had a plan, so he didn't ask much, and let her do it.

Chanyi talked to Xia Mingche again, and then walked to Lanxin Courtyard with the palace lamp, because she returned home earlier and asked Jinping next to her to settle down with Xia Qi, so at this moment she was alone in the listening corridor in front of Yinqiu Courtyard.

The cold wind was blowing in her ears, and Chan Yi couldn't help but tighten her tightness.

The night was already deep, and most of the maids and maids in the inner courtyard were ready to rest, and the moon hung in the air like a big disk, illuminating the road in the house very brightly.

Chanyi walked absentmindedly, while thinking about who would arrange the killer today, it stands to reason that Aunt Yan should not have such a great ability to make such a comprehensive arrangement outside the house, and looking at the appearance of the killer, it is completely impossible to distinguish their identities, if it is Aunt Yan's arrangement, it is really a little too unreasonable, if it is not for her arrangement, it will be...... The Gu family? or the Wei family?

She has also offended the interests of such two families, and it will not exceed these two families, she looked up at the moon in the sky, and a light smile appeared on her face, since she didn't know who it was, then she had to lead the snake out of the hole, otherwise she would not be able to stand it if she was beaten passively like this.

When she was about to walk out of the listening wind corridor, Chan Yi suddenly felt that the cold wind in her ears had changed direction, and the slightly gloomy branches next to the listening wind corridor looked very weird and inexplicable under the moonlight, and suddenly thought of the person who had been saved here before, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Unexpectedly, a dark shadow flashed out from behind her and covered her mouth, startling her.

She pushed the person behind her hard, and in a panic, even the palace lamp fell to the ground and burned it clean, her mouth and nose were vigorously covered by the person behind her, and she dragged it to the side of the rain shelter, and there was a faint bloody smell in her nose.

Chan Yi quickly flashed a trace of clarity in her mind, while struggling to draw the dagger in her arms, the person covering her mouth and nose seemed to hold her hand, she immediately panicked in her heart, and vigorously pushed the person to cover her arm, in a hurry, I don't know where I touched, I only felt that the body behind me stiffened, it seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but the strength of the hand tightened.

It wasn't until she was dragged into the rain shelter and leaned against the door panel that the person behind her said, "Little girl, it's me." ”

Chanyi only felt that this voice, why did it sound so much like the person she had saved that day?

She broke free from his restraints, and as soon as she turned, she met the silent eyes.

"Why do you dare to come?" Chan Yi was a little puzzled, "You will come when you come, why do you bother to do such a move, let me think that there are robbers who kill people and steal goods at home!"

The man couldn't help but smile bitterly, and if he said it seriously, he was no different from a robber who killed people and oversold goods, and suddenly heard someone talk to him like this, but he felt fresh, but he came for something else.

"The gangster that Miss today met in Guang'an Temple...... It's me..."

Chan Yi immediately looked at him with wide eyes, and sure enough, he was still wearing the night clothes, and there were still marks of being stabbed by her on his left arm.

"You! You are going to take revenge!" Chanyi pointed at him, her eyes widened, "I just said that I saw you just now, how did you look familiar, it turned out that I asked for it, I knew that this was the case, what else did I save you?"

The man seemed to guess her reaction now, but he smiled bitterly, let her scold and did not refute, seeing that she finished scolding, he said softly: "I also found out that this business was Miss after I saw Miss, I hope Miss forgives me for offending!"

"Then what do you want to do when you come to my house now? and take my life? How much hatred do I have with you, you can't kill you once and have to do it again?" Chan Yi was a little angry.

The man shook his head, "No, this business has failed, so I won't do anything to Miss again." ”

Chanyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, with a lot of scrutiny in her eyes, and after looking at it a few times, she asked, "You said business, what kind of business do you have?"

"Kill people and sell more. ”

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he spit out these four words lightly, and his tone was flat as if he was saying that the moon was very round tonight, but Chan Yi was stunned for a moment, and her face changed a lot, she originally thought that he was a reckless person, and he would be forced to come so far if he offended the eunuchs, but he didn't expect that he would be a person who specializes in killing people and selling goods!

Seeing Chanyi looking at him in shock, the man simply exhaled and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it, Miss, I am the owner of Mingyan Building, there was a business failure before, and the brothers with the best kung fu in the building were folded in, and when I was desperate, I would even take this kind of small business ......."

"Stop!" Chan Yi interrupted his chattering words, stabilized his feelings, and asked in a deep voice: "What is Ming Yanlou doing? You said that there was a business that failed, what kind of business?"

The expression on the man's face was a little more solemn, "Miss is not a person in the rivers and lakes, it is not strange to know Mingyanlou, our Mingyanlou is also famous in the rivers and lakes, most of the work in the building is assassination, as for business, I can't say more, this is the rule of the road, we just take the job and kill people, regardless of the identity and status of the other party." ”

"Then what do you mean by saying that this kind of small business is also accepted?" Chan Yi didn't let go of anything in his words that he didn't understand, and asked questions one by one.

The man had a hint of shame, "We Mingyanlou have never accepted jobs below five hundred taels of silver, but this time because of my mistakes, the best brothers in the guide building have died in vain, and the building has to train new brothers, so ......"

Chanyi frowned, "That means my life is not worth five hundred taels of silver?"

The man didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and after hesitation, he still made up the knife and said: "To be exact, the money to buy the young lady's life is only one hundred taels." ”

Chan Yi was furious: "Is my life so worthless? Are you so poor now? For five hundred taels of silver, even your own life-saving benefactor can go down to kill!"

The man was reprimanded by the little girl in front of him and couldn't raise his head, he naturally knew that it would be disgraceful if what he did today was spread, but a penny was difficult to beat the hero, he had already reminded this little girl at the time, otherwise he would not have asked out loud, who was Xia Chanyi, but directly put the two down, regardless of which one of them was the other......

Chanyi scolded for a long time, but the man kept his head down and was silent, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

"That's it, it's just a good deed every day, but if I'm not mistaken, you should be seriously injured, don't you take good care of your injuries, aren't you afraid that your body will collapse?"

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the man's hidden eyes, and then he sank into the darkness, "Miss, don't worry, this little injury is nothing, I have suffered more serious injuries than this, and now it is not good." ”

Chanyi suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed the man's injured arm hard, only to see the man tremble slightly, and then there was no reaction, she couldn't help but snort coldly: "I still think you are beaten with iron, it turns out that you will also know the pain." ”

The man's face was a little confused.

"Since you are so short of money now, I have a business for you, do you want to take it?" Chan Yi asked lightly.

The man raised his head and glanced at her quickly, his eyes were quite strange, but when he thought of the identity of the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little clear, and said in a low voice: "Miss, who did I ask me to help you kill?"

Chan Yi frowned and scolded him: "Is human life so worthless in your eyes? kill this and that all day long, be careful to repay yourself!"

The man couldn't help but laugh a little, he was originally doing this, how could he be afraid that others would kill him.

Chanyi paused and said softly: "I don't know what kind of rules you have, but since you are short of money, and I have money, you can't follow your rules, you have to follow my rules, right?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help nodding, although he didn't know what the girl meant, but the situation was true now.

I heard her ask, "How much do you need to spend in a year in the building?"

The man tilted his head and roughly calculated, and replied, "It's about five thousand taels." ”

Chan Yi pondered for a moment and said: "That means that you have to earn all the expenses in the building for a year before you can rest, is this the truth?"

The man was stunned for a moment and nodded, he did plan to do so, because this year is different from previous years, there are only a few seven or eight people in the building who can be used this year, and they must first earn all the expenses before they can train new brothers.

"In that case, then I will pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy you this year's time, do you think it is cost-effective?" Chan Yi's clear eyes looked at him and asked.

The man was stunned, he had never received such a business, and he was puzzled: "Miss, can you elaborate on what you want me to do in this year?"

Chanyi looked at him and smiled: "Well, I don't need you to do anything, just be my guard, and a few people in your building must also be able to come over at any time, no need to fight and kill, as long as you protect the safety of me and my family, it will be for a year, what do you think?"

The man didn't expect him to receive such a business, if this is the case, he will have a blessed place, he can recuperate with peace of mind, and he can also free up his hands to train the newcomers in the building, and look at the girl's appearance, it is not necessary to go out every day, as long as she protects her when she goes out, so it is really cost-effective.

He thought for a moment and then nodded, "In this way, I took advantage of it." ”

Chan Yi smiled, "That's not what you say, you protect the safety of me and my family, maybe you have to work hard." ”

The man was a little crying and laughing, which business is not all bought by hard work?

Chanyi saw that he had no objections, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that 10,000 taels of silver can't be given to you all at once, I will give you 2,500 taels of silver every quarter until the end of the year, do you have any objections?"

The man didn't expect the girl to be so cautious, and said with a smile: "Just follow the rules of the young lady." ”
