Chapter 3: The Sacrificial Sword
"Faking illness?"
"I can only do something if 'Baili Feng' is sick and can't do anything. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She took the wet handkerchief and wiped away a trace of dried blood on her slender neck before saying, "Once something happens, people who are too sick to get out of bed are the least likely to be noticed." The recent turmoil in the Bohai Kingdom is a good time for us to intervene, and I still need to make a good calculation. ”
"Lianxin understands that the house will know that you are recuperating in bed in the next few days, and you will never let outsiders disturb you."
Bai Li Feng sat down at the table, picked up the pen and was about to write, but suddenly asked, "What news is there over there today?" ”
Lian Xin shook her head: "Mr. He hasn't had any news today, I think it's because the matter has been done and I'm ready to come back." ”
"That's fine. After he came back from Bohai Kingdom, I was able to feel more at ease. The situation above the court is changing, we all have to be cautious, and if we are not careful, it is not just money that will be lost. ”
After Baili Feng stayed in the mansion for an hour, Liang Kong returned to the mansion.
At this moment, he was taking out a bag from his sleeve: "At that time, the people of the government parked the body of Zhen Hu in the morgue, and I saw that they didn't seem to have time to search his body, so I turned it directly on him, and sure enough, I turned out the letter of commitment written by the master." I probed elsewhere on him and found a small sign. It's all in this bag. ”
Seeing that Lianxin took the bag, Baili Feng got up from the rocking chair and walked into the house, obviously there was nothing to ask Liang Kong.
Leaving Liang Kong, Lian Xin followed Bai Li Feng into the room to continue the previous topic: "Uncle Du said before, the general's mansion sent medicinal materials to calm the nerves, and some antiques for you to be shocked, and he took it in charge." The medicinal materials have been put into storage, and the antiques have been sent to the next room. ”
Baili Feng snorted nonchalantly, as if he didn't care about what kind of things the General's Mansion had sent.
"What else?"
Lianxin said again: "Fang Cai, Master Yiye of Wakaba Temple also asked people to send things over. It is said that it was a hand-copied scripture book that was offered for a year before the Buddha, and it can be placed in the house to calm the nerves and calm the spirits, and all evils will not invade. ”
"He's well-informed."
Bai Li Feng took the yellow scripture book, flipped through it roughly, and said: "It's a hand-copied scripture book, it's really rare." Let's put it in the small Buddha hall. ”
But if you want to say that the most famous monk in Wangyun City is not the presiding master of the largest temple in Wangyun City, but the old monk of Wakaba Temple, Master Yiye.
Legend has it that Master Yiye was abandoned at the door of a small mountain temple when he was born, and grew up in the temple since he was a child, receiving Buddhist influence. Since childhood, he has read a wide range of books, officially ordained at the age of seven, and has been reading the scriptures in the temple at the age of fifteen. Later, when he met an ascetic monk from Tianzhu, he also began to practice this kind of practice. It wasn't until he traveled to Wangyun City twelve years ago that he stopped and entered Wakabaji Temple to continue his practice. Because of this "ascetic" practice of Yiye, his understanding of Buddhism has become more profound and thorough, and he is more able to abstain from anger and anger and abandon the greed of the world when he practices. Soon his lectures became the most eye-catching event, so much so that over time, he became the most famous monk in the whole of Wangyun City.
It is not surprising that Baili Feng recognized Kazuha's handwriting.
Lianxin sent Bai Qing to send the scriptures to the Buddha Hall, and said while packing up his things: "You are so frightened, let's just forget it?" She was dissatisfied. One of his own good masters went out for a trip, and when he came back, he saw blood. You must know that even if she loses a strand of hair on weekdays, she feels distressed, and she has to eat how much to make up for it. This breath is unbearable for her.
Baili Feng has always known how much Lianxin protects her master, so he doesn't think her ideas are extreme. Anyway, she knew that Lianxin was brave and resourceful, and she wouldn't do anything stupid on impulse. has always been the person she is most at ease.
She took out the letter of commitment from her bag and looked at it carefully, and replied, "Of course this matter is not over. ”
Lianxin didn't ask any more. She was very confident that her master would make a good decision, so she followed Baili Feng's request to polish her ink.
Baili Feng glanced at the ink she grinded: "Don't use this ink, go and change a piece of pine smoke ink that is almost there, and then take an old brush." ”
Lianxin didn't know why, but she still went to take an old pen and grind a piece of bad ink as required.
While the lotus heart was grinding ink, Bai Li Feng carefully looked at the seal belonging to the Qingyan Gang that he got from Zhen Hu's corpse.
This seal is different from what the Qingyan Gang uses in business with Baili Feng, and the ornamentation is more complicated, which is extremely difficult to imitate. Bai Li Feng took out an old yellowed piece of paper on the table, and compared the two sides, she determined that the seal on this paper belonged to the same seal.
Baili Feng sneered: "The Qingyan Gang is really not simple. Even such an important seal has been taken out, and it seems certain that I will write this note. ”
But it's a pity that they didn't know that they had fallen into Baili Feng's calculations, and what she wanted was this seal. Because that seal was once stamped on a note. There are only eight words written on it:
"June 15, looking at the clouds and night light".
Looking at the clouds and the night light, it is the place where her family lives; And June 15 is the day when the family is destroyed.
It can already be determined that the Qingyan Gang has a lot to do with the events of that year.
Baili Feng rubbed the jade bead on his wrist, and his expression was gloomy: "You can go under the knife." ”
She had been waiting for this day for a long time. She wants to use the Qingyan Gang for the first sacrificial knife.
She dipped in freshly polished ink before she began to write on the pledge she had written. She had already considered the way back when she wrote the note, and she began to write after considering the words. So at this moment, only two or three words were changed to achieve her pre-envisioned vision. She stopped her pen, put it aside to dry, and instructed Lianxin to send someone to Chu Huaifeng, the owner of Shenxue Mountain Villa in Lizhou, after the ink was dry, and asked him to continue to help collect the accounts.
Shenxue Villa is a gang that has only been established for a few years in the rivers and lakes, and only receives money to work. As long as you can afford it, they can do things for you. Because the Qingyan Gang also stepped on half of its feet in the rivers and lakes, Baili Feng was willing to spend a lot of money to hire people from Shenxue Mountain Villa to collect debts.
It happened that this list was taken over by the owner Chu Huaifeng.
said that she was helping to collect the debts, but based on the person she chose to collect the debts, she knew her plan: not to persuade people with good words and convince people with reason, but to convince people with force. If you dare not pay back, you will hit the other party until you pay back.
Although this was learned from loan sharks who were not in the stream, as long as it was easy to use, Thyme Feng didn't mind the process. For the sake of revenge, she had already decided to harden her heart.
She single-handedly designed the shipwreck. She is the victim of the incident, but she is also the biggest black hand behind the scenes.
Lianxin on the side saw the changed note and was shocked: "Oh my God, I thought that Zhen Hu was bold enough to dare to ask you for another million taels." You can do it, these few strokes have been changed, hey, the Qingyan Gang is almost going to smash the pot and sell iron, sell children and daughters. ”
Bai Li Feng didn't care: "If he only wants me to exempt the two million taels, I can't change it like this." But since he dares to be greedy and ask for more money, why can't I make an extra profit? If you have a lot of money and don't bite your hand, it's good to give Jinbao a few more gold nests. "It's a bit extravagant, but Campbell's little one's nest is indeed made of gold.
"You're not afraid that they will jump off the wall?"
Lianxin was afraid that next time the Qingyan Gang would send someone to assassinate Baili Feng. It was only two million taels before, and there were people like Jia Hu who volunteered, but now that it has become such a big deal, I am afraid that more people will come to do the right thing for heaven.
"Didn't you think they jumped off the wall this time? Although Zhen Hu said that he ran out secretly, if there was no person above who intended to release the water, how could he get the seal, and how could he really come to Wangyun City? To be honest, I dare to ask for so much money, just to force Qingyan to help this lackey. Only when the dog is cornered, the owner with the leash behind it will appear. ”
According to the special circumstances at that time, the only way to infiltrate neighboring countries without alarming a country's border troops was by water. Calculate the time of water transportation and recombination in the places you want to pass by, and the most suitable one is the Qingyan Gang. That's why there was such a deliberate cargo ship wreck.
It's just that this Qingyan Gang is too calm, and they actually wanted to come and fight her early. Is it true that her name as a "crazy lady" is to eat fasting and pray for Buddha?
"This time the situation is already dangerous, aren't you afraid that next time it will be more dangerous than this?"
"What could be more dangerous than being stopped by the sword of the famous owner of Shenxue Village?"
Lianxin gasped: "Hey, it's dangerous, it's too dangerous." I felt weak at the sight of that man, and if he stopped me with a sword again, I would have been so frightened that I would sit on the ground. But you and the owner of Chu are not ...... Acquaintances? Why would he still use a sword to kill you? ”
Baili Feng really came into contact with Chu Huaifeng in the past two years, because the other party personally took over a few orders from her. But in fact, they had met much earlier.
It's just that the relationship between the two was reversed at that time, and someone hired him to take her life.
Baili Feng closed his eyes. It seemed that he could still feel the piercing coldness that came from him when he opened the curtain of the carriage with his sword that day. Every time she thinks of the eyes full of murderous intent under those masks, she feels cold and terrible with her heart.
