Chapter 4 The Black-Hearted Boss Lady
I don't know how far away from the official road, it is already a deep mountain and dense forest, the light of the stars seems to be unable to penetrate the cover of this layer of thick leaves, and the path that is already full of grass and trees in the dark can hardly see the path. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Kim ran down the path, expertly jumping over the stones and stumbling roots in the middle of the path, this was where she grew up, and the only area she could tread in the previous fifteen years, and farther away, she had to pass the trial and be sent on a mission to reach it, otherwise...... Kim still remembers that many years ago, she stood here, watching a boy who wanted to leave without permission being shot by an arrow and killed under a tree not far away. The corpse, pinned to a tree, warns anyone who wants to break the rules of the church what will happen. For a long, long time, no one collected his body, and one day after that, suddenly it was gone, and no one minded, maybe it was taken away by a wild beast.
Jin is not without yearning for the outside world, but he is not so persistent and willing to exchange his life for it. Since I can remember, I grew up with my peers in the Golden Academy, learned literature and martial arts together, and had a general relationship with some people, a good relationship with others, and a good relationship with two people. It's so good that it's always inseparable, and I still remember the time when I was punished for three days and not allowed to eat, one person secretly hid a piece of his bun in his clothes, and the other person hid a bottle of water and secretly sent it to the black house, but he ate too slowly, and was found by the inspectors, and they were both whipped. Jin involuntarily ate quickly, and was always said to be like he had never eaten in his life, maybe that's why.
No matter how beautiful the outside world is, it can't compare to the friendship of eating and living together for so many years...... Thinking of this, Jin smiled self-deprecatingly, the bun that the person under the tree once brought for herself was really big, soft and fragrant, and it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life. And the other...... It taught her the most important lesson of being a killer, and it made her dare not trust anyone from now on.
"The hall master has been waiting for you for a long time, why are you still in a daze here." At the end of the dark road, there was a cold female voice, this voice was not friendly, in fact, all the people in the Moon Black Hall didn't want to hear her too much, or her companion's voice, it was Ling Shuang, the head of the Torture Hall, and the people of the Torture Hall came to greet her, Jin didn't think that this meant that the head of the Torture Hall thought that he was outstanding, and planned to ask her if she was interested in going to the Torture Hall to take up a position.
Thinking about what was going to happen, her originally brisk pace slowed down, and the heaviness of going to the grave when she was filial piety was nothing more than that.
The people who built the Moon Black Hall back then blew a big hole deep into the belly of the mountain, and set up a lot of mechanisms, so that there was no hole in the sky outside, and it was impossible to break into it by mistake. And if you want to go out, you have to have a hall master's warrant or task list, otherwise not to mention that the organ is ruthless, everyone who guards the organ is loyal to the Moon Black Hall, fifteen organs, fifteen gatekeepers, as long as the first organ is touched and the first person is met, the entire hall will know. Of course, this was not the case, and the guards were strengthened a lot after the boy's incident.
As for whether the people who go out will not come back or betray the organization, this question is not very difficult, there are special pharmacists in the Moon Black Hall, who specialize in refining all kinds of strange poisons/drugs, ecstasy/drugs, regular attacks, if you don't come back, wait for death, it is said that death is very painful and ugly. Therefore, when the dead soldiers of the Moon Black Hall were caught, they bit the poison sac and called it a crisp and neat, the medicine in the poison sac was fragrant and sweet, and only one drop could relieve the troubles.
Walking through the brightly lit front hall, bypassing the undecorated stone screen, that is the main hall, the hall master sits on the chair in the middle, he is a thin middle-aged man, when a pair of eagle eyes look at people, it seems to be able to see what others are thinking in their hearts, no one knows the past of the hall master, only knows that his sixty-four road eagle claw skills are really good, it seems that there is a little bit of iron sand palm, these years he has stopped shooting, but a few years ago, people who have seen it have said that the hall master gently pinched a few times, the horizontal iron cloth shirt for many years, The master who had no door was pinched to the point that his bones were broken and died, and the whole person was like a puddle of mud, and he could only shovel it up and throw it out when he was paralyzed on the ground.
Every child in the Golden Courtyard grew up listening to this or similar stories, and in their hearts, the hall master was an invincible god who would never dare to disobey. Jin was naturally no exception, watching the hall master sitting on it, her entire back was covered with cold sweat, she naturally knew what the hall master was looking for herself. Such a big thing happened in the city, the eyeliner in the hall must have already sent the news, nearly twelve hours have passed, what have you been doing all day, this matter must be explained clearly, and the reason for going to the mountains and rivers is obviously not valid.
Walking from the door to the front of the stairs, a total of fourteen steps, Jin was thinking about how to make up a reasonable story from the moment she saw the face of the hall master, and when she knelt in front of the hall master, the story had been completely made.
"Kim, you are guilty!" The hall master's emotionless voice came from above.
Jin, who bowed his head and knelt down the steps, leaned on the ground: "The subordinates did not return to the hall in time to hand in the task." ā
"Then you can plead guilty?"
"Hall Master, please listen to your subordinates' explanations."
"Oh?" The hall master looked at her with interest, "You say." ā
Jin presented the embroidered handkerchief and said, "Hall master, the task received by the subordinates is to bring it back from Zhang Fuqing's hands. ā
"That's right, it's a little thing, or it won't take so long."
"Yes, but the subordinates found that this embroidered handkerchief had been given to the girl in the kiln by Zhang Fuqing, and the girl had gone to an embroidery village in the west of the city with the embroidered handkerchief and said that she wanted to embroider the same pattern on her clothes, and the proprietress was very interested in the pattern on this embroidered handkerchief, and made some imitation handkerchiefs, and one of the imitations was given to the girl." Jin said this and glanced up at the hall master.
The hall master nodded: "Go on." ā
"The girl had an original, an imitation. Except for her, no one knows which one is real and which one is imitation. The subordinates were afraid of taking the imitation by mistake, so they followed the girl far away to get the embroidered handkerchief, and sneaked into the embroidery village to compare, the embroidered handkerchief in the girl's hand and the fabric texture of the imitation in the embroidery village and the pattern with a needle are exactly the same, the subordinates forced her, only to learn that she had given a piece of embroidered handkerchief to a sweetheart, is a poor scholar. The subordinates went to the poor scholar's house again, and took the embroidered handkerchief, compared with the imitation, it was indeed a little different, and then he dared to come back to restore his life. ā
"You're thoughtful." The hall master held the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, took a picture of the bright Eight Treasures Heart-Saving Lamp, and sneered: "It's a pity that the rivers and lakes are inexperienced, and I was still deceived by the black-hearted proprietress." She picked out the key threads, leaving the embroidered handkerchief useless. He raised his hand and threw the handkerchief to the ground.
Kim knelt underneath and didn't even dare to breathe.
"That's it, this is your first mission, and I didn't tell you what the mystery is on this veil, no wonder you." The hall master's originally gloomy face calmed down a little, "Originally, the gift of giving tokens was supposed to be held at noon, but unfortunately you came back late, and the time was exactly opposite to noon, and it was also suitable for killers who walked in the dark night, and someone came to take the token." ā
There was already a maid on the side to set the brocade box, the hall master ordered Jin to come forward, he opened the brocade box with his own hands, the box is round and smooth, warm and lovely a piece of jade, decorated with wind and thunder patterns, he handed the jade Huang to Jin's hand: "This time, you are the only one who has walked out of the golden courtyard, and you will have to do things for the hall in the future." ā
"Yes."
"Let's go to rest and get the medicine first, go into the city tomorrow, find the proprietress, and ask her to embroider the silk threads for me as they were."
Jin was secretly bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to bow down and retreat, ah, the proprietress named Liao Xiaozhu should be easier to deal with...... Bar...... (To be continued.) )
