6. Hesitation

In the inn, Gao Xuanwu came back from fetching water and found Jin Huang sitting by the window very soberly, definitely not like a drunk person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked at him with bright eyes: "I guess no one else dares to take me into the house." Gao Xuanwu put the copper basin back on the wooden frame, turned his head and said, "Come and wipe your face, you smell of wine." Jin Huang stood up lazily, there was only a hand towel on the wooden frame, there was no one else in the house, this hand towel was naturally Gao Xuanwu's, Jin Huang twisted his face in disgust, directly reached out to copy the water and splashed his face, rubbed it a few times, wiped his left and right hands on his face, and shook his hands twice, which was considered to have washed his face.

Gao Xuanwu originally wanted to express a little opinion on this kind of cat face washing behavior, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate to talk about the guests in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, and arguing with the guests before and after, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, and only said: "Are you going back, or what?" ”

Jin Huang sat down on a chair: "You entered the customs, definitely not to chat with me." Running to the restaurant to find me must be more than just paying the bill for me. Say, what's the matter? ”

Looking at her appearance, Gao Xuanwu smiled and shook his head: "Don't wear a skirt next time, no matter how you look at it, it's a man's outfit." As expected, a porcelain cup smashed over. Gao Xuanwu, who had been prepared for a long time, caught it and gently put it on the table: "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

He also sat down and spoke slowly: "You have had dealings with Du Shuyan. ”

"What's your opinion?"

"No, no, so to speak, he knows you, you know him? Is it just a business dealing, or is it something else? ”

Jin Huang couldn't understand what he wanted to say at all, and wondered, "What do you want to say?" How grinding like an old woman. ”

Gao Xuanwu seemed to have made up his mind: "Can I place a commission?" ”

"Yes, who, at what price?"

"Du Chengyu, the head of the household, is one thousand taels of silver."

Hearing this name, Jin Huang was also stunned, not because it was a high-ranking official in the dynasty, but because that person was Du Shuyan's father. Du Shuyan once helped her when she had the most headaches, and there were some conflicts with her because of her duties, but basically maintained a good relationship. What's more, it's okay if this client is someone else, Gao Xuanwu was originally from the Northern Dynasties, I don't know what kind of earth-shaking thing will happen when this knife goes down, with Du Chengyu's life disappearing.

"Why, the dignified bloody hand demon queen, does this not dare, or can't bear it? It's not like you. Gao Xuanwu saw Jin Huang's hesitant expression in his eyes, and said a few words with a smile.

Jin Huang, who had always been a little bit at it, had no intention of refuting at this time, silently looked at the candlelight on the table that was a little crooked by the breeze, and only spoke after a while: "The radical method is useless to me, and I don't want to beat you now." When I think clearly, I'll reply to you, whether to accept this list or not. ”

It was rare to see her serious appearance, Gao Xuanwu also put away his grinning expression, and said with a straight face: "Okay, it's just that this matter should not be delayed, I can't wait too long, tell me the final choice before sunset tomorrow." At this moment, the voice of the watchman came from the street, "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle", and then the gong was struck twice.

Jin Huang smiled: "It's the second hour of the seventh day of the first month, and before the eighth day of the first month, I will tell you." She looked out the window: "The moonlight is fine tonight, I have to go back." With a sigh of relief, his body moved slightly, and his right foot lightly pointed at the window lattice, and he jumped out of the window.

Unfortunately, just in time to catch up with the child, Shengsheng gave her another day. Gao Xuanwu shook his head helplessly: "What's the point of dragging it." So he closed the window and went to sleep.

On the way from the inn to the Five Elements Gate, Jin Huang walked very slowly, Gao Xuanwu said that he wanted to entrust, thinking that he had already found out that he had some contacts with Du Shuyan, so directly entering the Du Mansion would not make the Du family vigilant, and it was naturally much easier to start than to climb the wall and step on the roof in the middle of the night.

He's a shrewd account! Jin Huang doesn't like others to calculate him the most, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes. At this time, she smelled a burst of aroma wafting from the deep alley, she stopped, and then noticed that she had walked to Xijia Lane, which only came out of the stall in the middle of the night, the legendary firewood wonton, sure enough, a big lantern with the word "Li" written on it hung on the stall, and was blown by the wind.

There are really a lot of diners, and there are a few wooden tables and stools in the small alley. Maybe it's because of the summer months, not many people ask for wontons, and there is a large pot at the other end with a full lily and mung bean soup. When Jin Huang went, there was only a small half pot left, and she sat down and asked for a bowl of lily mung bean soup, the mung beans were stewed and flowered, and the lilies also tasted very good, and the osmanthus sugar was put in it. The strangest thing is that there are ice buckets at such a late-night stall.

With a small piece of ice in the lily mung bean soup, it is really comfortable to drink a large bowl in such a season, from head to toe. The boss was busy picking a lot, busy collecting money and making wontons and lily mung bean soup, and even saving the item of greeting guests. I couldn't get busy, and soon, when someone came to ask if there was mung bean soup, the boss said that there was no more, and there were only two bowls of wontons.

People who rarely came over for a trip were unwilling to leave like this, so they asked for two bowls of hot wontons, and after eating only a few, dense beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. The two men wiped their sweat and paused for a moment.

One of them smiled at the boss: "Why do you always open it in the middle of the night, according to the taste of your house, if you make a living during the day, you will earn more than just a few stars now." The boss put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said without raising his head: "Now I'm the only one, if I do it during the day, I can't be busy, and there are fewer people at night, but I don't get tired." ”

Listening to the chat between the boss and the diners, the half bowl of mung bean soup in Jin Huang's hand has been sitting there and has never moved, and she thought to herself: "If I don't do this business in the future, I don't know if it's okay to be a late-night stall like this?" It's good not to do this, and you won't have the trouble you have now. ”

When she came back to her senses and found that all the diners around her had gone, and she was the only one left, the boss smiled and said, "Girl, what are you thinking?" This chilled lily mung bean soup is hot. Jin Huang smiled embarrassedly and drank the mung bean soup in his hand: "Boss, settle the account." ”

The boss walked under the lantern, cleaned up the bowls, and reported: "Five cents." Jin Huang touched all over her body, there was only one ingot of twenty taels of silver, she handed out the silver, and the boss was startled: "I can't find it." Jin Huang was also quite helpless: "There is no scattered silver, and there are no copper coins." ”

"That's it, when the girl has money, give it when she wants." The owner was very generous.

Jin Huang shook his head: "It's rare for me to pass by here, and I don't know when it will be next time." ”

"Then forget it."

"How can this work, you are also a small business, if you don't collect money, it will be like I deliberately took out silver ingots in order to repay the debt." Jin Huang said as he continued to rummage in his purse in vain.

"Hey, it's you, don't look for it, I'll give it." A familiar voice sounded on the side, and Jin Huang turned his head to look, it turned out to be Long Yuan of the Scarlet Alliance, "I owe you something I owe you now." Long Yuan was relieved.

Jin Huang raised his eyebrows: "Remember that what you owe me is wontons, not lily mung bean soup." ”

"Heh, okay, then I won't pay for this meal, you can solve it yourself." Long Yuan looked like he was waiting to see a good show.

Jin Huang couldn't stand being despised so much, his right hand silently used his internal force, his fingers slammed suddenly, and the silver ingot was broken into a small piece. Jin Huang handed it to the boss, who shook his head: "It's still too much, I can't find it." ”

She waved her hand: "No need to look for it." ”

The boss smiled: "Then thank you, girl." With his hands and feet, he neatly stacked the dishes, chopsticks, chairs, and stools on the cart, and pushed the small dollar to his waist: "Girl, go back early, see that your husband is in a hurry." With that, he smiled and left.

The sentence "Look at your husband is in a hurry." Jin Huang didn't hear it, and asked enthusiastically, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Long Yuan didn't answer, but was about to leave. How could Jin Huang allow him to be so contemptuous. Stretching out his hand and patting him on the shoulder, Long Yuan barely dodged away: "Lord of the Golden Gate, I have a task to do, let me ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Huang waved his hand very disappointed: "Let's go, let's go." "The rules of being a killer are not to get in the way of others, so she let Long Yuan pass, what she didn't know was that Long Yuan was entrusted by Gao Xuanwu.

The next day, the news of the assassination of Dali Siqing spread throughout the court.

The assassination of a dignified member of the rank and rank made the saint angry. As for why he didn't assassinate at this time sooner or later, Du Shuyan had a clue in his heart, and it must be because he was opposed to peace. In this way, my father is also in danger.

He personally went to inspect the corpse, and the method was somewhat familiar, but it was by no means the behavior of the Great Desert Emperor. Du Shuyan ordered the spies of the Linglou to go out and find out how many people, names and appearances were sent by the Great Desert Emperor Xingmen this time.

It's a long way to go, and my father's safety needs to be protected until the spies don't report back. But even if he is always on his side, after all, he is still the enemy and I am clear, no one knows when and where the killer will act, and the people who protect him can't prevent it, so he has to think of a way.

Jin Huang also learned the news, and immediately guessed that it was Long Yuan who did it, Gao Xuanwu, who he was and what he wanted to do.

There is very little phenomenon of subcontracting in the killer industry, who takes the order and completes it, Gao Xuanwu, the young master of the emperor's line, how can there be a reason to take over the business and not do it yourself, but let others do it.

There are too many doubts in her heart, completely unsolved, the more she thinks about it, the more upset she becomes, she is used to touching Jin Fengling in her ear, and suddenly remembered this, as long as she has money, she can find out, so she went out and walked towards Wanhualou.

Wanhua Lou is still full of people, after a few days is the begging festival, many women want to go from house to house, visit the old sisters, can not go empty-handed, the best gift is not pastry. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
