Chapter 54: Unscrupulous
戌時.
It's the equivalent of seven to nine o'clock in the evening.
Hearing movement outside the door, kicking and kicking, footsteps sounded from inside the courtyard, and trotted all the way to the door.
Squeak –
The courtyard door opened.
"Master, why did you come back so early today?"
The old man of the porter, who was carrying a dim candlelight lantern in his hand, respectfully stepped out of the way and let the people outside the door in.
"Well, I'm a little tired tonight, so after Zhao Zhutou took turns to change defenses, he came back first. ”
The man who came in was a big man.
But there is a very strong smell of women's rouge and incense powder on the body.
When the big man entered the door, the old man in the porter behind him began to close the courtyard door.
I don't know if it's because of the dim vision at night, the big man didn't notice that the old man in the porter had an abnormal face, and the old man in the porter had been sweating on his forehead.
Even the clothes on the back were wet with sweat.
This place is Zheng Yuanhu's home.
And the big man who entered the door just now was naturally Zheng Yuanhu, one of the three major headhunters in Chang County.
The old man in the doorman who had been closing the door in the past, but the action of closing the door today was slowly swallowed and not closed for a long time, and his hands were always scared and trembling nervously.
The old man in the concierge couldn't close the door for a long time because he was scared, but Zheng Yuanhu walked through the courtyard and arrived in the lobby first.
Before Zheng Yuanhu arrived in the lobby, he had already seen from a distance that there was a person sitting in the lobby.
"Lao Cheng, are there any visitors to the house tonight?"
But the old man in the porter behind him, because he was too nervous, opened his mouth and stammered a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
After Zheng Yuanhu approached, he saw clearly who the visitor was tonight, Zheng Yuanhu clenched his fists: "It turned out to be Feng Zhutou's visit." ”
Feng Zhutou sat still and didn't move: "Zheng Zhutou has been saying goodbye since the last time, and his complexion on his face looks a little bad, could it be that he has been sleeping and eating well recently because he is concerned about the defense of the temple fair?"
Zheng Yuanhu didn't seem to hear the words in Feng Zhutou's words, he smiled without smiling, under the lighting of a few lanterns in the main hall, this was a rough face with a thick layer of rouge, the collar and the arm guards of the martial arts practitioners, covering the only exposed neck and the skin on the hands.
The face covered by rouge and white powder is less masculine than nine points masculine and more feminine temperament.
It seems that even the temperature in the main hall has begun to drop.
The lantern swayed, as if it was about to fall and extinguish at any moment, the candle flame flickered and flickered, and the atmosphere began to be strange.
Under the light of the flickering lantern, Zheng Zhutou's smiling chuckle was like rouge on his face, plopping, and fine white powder fell from his face.
But Feng Zhutou had a normal expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen this: "Zheng Zhutou, this is not right." ”
"Zheng Zhutou is one of the three major catchers in our Chang County, if there is a problem with the body because of poor rest, it will be a loss for my Chang County. ”
"Moreover, the Qingming Temple Fair is imminent, and the defense work will be heavy in the future, so it is indispensable to have a great help from Zheng Zhutou. ”
"It just so happened that I was bored of waiting just now, so I asked your concierge to buy some appetizers for me, and a pot of fine Fenjiu from Xianliulou, come on, Zheng Zhutou sat down and had a drink with Feng. ”
Feng Zhutou said to Zheng Zhutou with a worried face, as if he was really worried about his colleague, and said frankly.
The expression on Feng Zhutou's face was not unusual.
There was a strong smell of rouge and fragrant powder on his body, as bewitching as a woman Zheng Yuanhu, who stared at Feng Zhutou's gaze for a while, and then sat down at the table.
"Feng Zhutou came to visit at night, I don't know what happened?"
At this time, Feng Zhutou smiled and did not answer, but raised the wine jug and first made a glass of liquid turbid Fenjiu for Zheng Yuanhu.
Zheng Yuanhu looked down at the turbid yellow wine in the glass, and suddenly smiled on his rouge and feminine face.
It's a smile that doesn't smile.
"Feng Zhutou, this is not a Fen bar?"
"Why do I look like Sanyang wine?"
Feng Zhutou seemed to be completely unaware, and said in surprise: "No, Feng is an old acquaintance of Xianliulou, this Xianliulou is really hateful, he actually killed a regular customer, it's too unusual, I will take someone to seal his restaurant tomorrow." ”
"However, Sanyang wine is also wine, I will do it first as a respect, and I will first salute Zheng Zhu's first glass. ”
Feng Zhutou's words fell, he drank the wine in the cup first, and after putting down the wine glass, he saw that Zheng Yuanhu had not moved the wine in front of him, so he urged Zheng Zhutou why he didn't drink this wine?
Zheng Yuanhu, who has a feminine temperament, did not touch the Sanyang wine in front of him.
"Feng Zhutou hasn't answered my previous question yet, Feng Zhutou came to visit at night, I don't know what's going on?"
"Will Feng Zhutou come to visit tonight?"
......
Bang!
In the night, an explosion was suddenly heard.
"Dead man!
"Dead!"
Then, the crying and screaming sounded, and it was the old man in the porter who was so frightened that he stumbled and fled from Zheng Yuanhu's house in a panic, as if he was frightened, and fled away with both hands and feet.
The scream of the old man in the porter immediately broke the calm night, he fled in panic along the road, and the lights of thousands of houses along the road were lit up one after another.
If there is a man in the house, the man puts on his clothes and goes out to check what is going on.
There are no men in the house, only female dependents at home, so frightened that they lock the doors and windows, and dare not sleep all night.
As more and more people are awakened, under the dark and silent night, the dogs in every household bark in all directions, chickens fly and dogs jump, and the people of Chang County can't sleep all night tonight.
And the movement here also alarmed the surrounding village warriors who were patrolling the night, and soon a large number of village warriors with torches in their hands surrounded them.
When they rushed to the site of the explosion and saw the family of Zheng Zhutou, one of the three major catchers in Chang County, these villagers were all surprised.
However!
Those who arrived earlier than them were the officials of the yali.
Those officials seemed to know in advance that there would be an explosion at Zheng Zhutou's house, so they arrived one step in advance.
These officials stopped the village warrior at the door.
Don't let these villagers enter Zheng Yuanhu's house.
At this time, in Zheng Yuanhu's house, Feng Zhutou's chest was dripping with blood, and he received a knife wound, and the blood dripped all over the ground. Originally, there were only Zheng Yuanhu and Feng Zhutou in the house, and I don't know where the old Taoist priest came from, and at this time he was stopping the bleeding for Feng Zhutou and bandaging the knife wound on his chest.
"Feng Zhutou, don't worry, this hemostatic medicine is an exclusive secret recipe for me to go south and north, and it has an excellent effect on hemostasis. Although Feng Zhutou was injured by Zheng Zhutou, looking at the blood, in fact, only a few ribs were broken, and the internal organs were not injured. ”
"This time it's the old way I made a mistake, the old way I should have thought a long time ago, Zheng Zhutou has been dead for so long, the flesh should have rotted a long time ago, if he wants to keep the body from rotting, he must suck the yang energy of the living, and he has been lurking in Chang County for so long, but there has been no news that there are dead people anywhere! I didn't expect this Zheng Zhutou to be so cunning, he actually buried so many dead people in his yard, the explosion just now caught the old man and the little brother off guard, and let this yin escape!"
Feng Zhutou endured the sharp pain in his chest, and only then did he realize that only the old Taoist priest was in the house, and Jin An was actually not there.
"Daochang Chen, why isn't Prince Jin An by your side?"
The old Taoist priest: "Zheng Zhutou was poured a pot of Sanyang wine by Feng Zhutou, it is estimated that he is now deflated, and he can't run far, and the little brother is alone to catch up first." ”
