Chapter 163: Buying a Murderer (Supplement)
Chu Dingjiang nodded in agreement, "You say." ”
Zhu Pianjiao was overjoyed, and his heart could be regarded as catching a fat sheep, "You first write down the identity of the person you want to kill, go to the Yaohua Pavilion of Liu's Teahouse in Yangzhou City, if someone asks, 'Can you eat meat', you will take two taels of silver to him, and answer, 'I like vegetarian food, please eat'." The other party took the money and said, 'There is a fairy mountain on the sea', and you replied, 'There is no ethereal space', and this is considered to be done. You will hand over the things you have written in advance to the person, and the other party will say the price after reading it, and if you agree, you will pay a deposit of ten taels first, and pay the full amount after the completion of the work. ”
Only ten taels of deposit is needed, which does not mean that it is very cheap to kill one, but so far no one has dared to rely on the account of the Ethereal Villa, and this deposit is just the meaning of "making a deal".
"The slave family will ask you to give you a map of the Liu family's teahouse later." Zhu Pian's smile became more and more gentle, "What else do you need to ask?" ”
Being able to inquire about this, Chu Dingjiang is already very satisfied, and other things can be checked slowly by himself, if he asks too much, it is easy to expose his purpose, who knows if this Zhu Pianjiao has anything to do with the Ethereal Villa.
"None." Chu Dingjiang happily took out two thousand denominations of official friends.
Zhu Pian's gaze swept lightly from the two official papers on the table, "In this case, it is inconvenient to send a widowed woman far away." ”
"Farewell." Chu Dingjiang Road.
An Jiu got up and followed him, walked to the steps, looked back suddenly, and saw Zhu Pianjiao holding two official friends with a look of wealth on his face.
An Jiu's slightly coercive gaze is difficult for others to ignore. Zhu Pianjiao only felt chills all over her body, and as soon as she raised her head, she bumped into An Jiu's cold gaze, she shuddered, and her first reaction was to quickly take the official Jiaozi into her arms.
However, Anjiu did nothing and left.
Zhu Pian breathed a sigh of relief, although he still had palpitations, but he thought of the more than two thousand taels of silver. Leave everything behind you all at once.
She was immersed in the joy of slaughtering the fat sheep, but she didn't think that "if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back", she Zhu Pianjiao is very likely to put the rest of her life into it because of these two thousand three hundred taels.
Not long after Chu Dingjiang and An Jiu returned to the room, Xiao Er sent the things.
The two looked through it carefully, and the news about the Feng family in the information is not an exaggeration to say that it is "Feng's Zhi", among which even his family has several concubines, and the identity background of each concubine, whether they have children or not is extremely detailed, and it is even more exaggerated. It also says that Feng Da's second aunt had a dog, and Feng Er's family used to taking Jindan before having sex with women......
"I don't know if it's true or not." Some seemingly trivial things, something can play a decisive role, but An Jiu always felt that Zhu Pianqi had the word "cheating money" written all over his face.
Chu Dingjiang took out all the silver tickets on his body, "In the past, I felt that I couldn't spend all the money I wanted, if we often traded with Zhu Pianjiao, it is estimated that we will soon be penniless." ”
The Crane Control Army is a shadow, unlike ordinary court officials, in addition to Yulu, they will also get the field products, grain, clothing, etc. distributed by the imperial court, so these things are converted into money and distributed to everyone. In addition, a huge amount of recuperation expenses will be given for each task, and it can be seven thousand taels a year. Chu Dingjiang has been in the crane control army for more than ten years, and his early years were a little lower, but he also had three or four thousand taels. Everyone in the Crane Army is the same. There is nowhere to use the money, there is no time to use it, and there is no need to spend money on interpersonal interactions, even if he squanders it. So far, there are 79,000 taels left.
An Jiu didn't know the price, but he felt that in this way, the nearly 80,000 taels of silver was really not much. "You're a miserable mess."
I think back then, she had ...... in her account How many are there? An Jiu thought about it for a long time, and found that he didn't know anything at all, but he still vaguely remembered that the transaction price of her last task was 20 million US dollars, and she took 40%.
Just from the comparison of numbers, Chu Dingjiang is indeed cold enough.
Chu Dingjiang usually doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, but after all, he is not ignorant, he carefully recalled, "It only costs two pennies to eat a meat bun, and this money can't be eaten in a lifetime." ”
"That's why Zhu Pianqi is too expensive." An Jiu didn't care about the amount of money, but felt that he had been cheated and was bullied to the head...... This must be written down.
"Do you want to stay another night?" Chu Dingjiang raised his chin and pointed out the window.
He was asking if he wanted to observe the dock.
An Jiu said, "Let's go." ”
After all, it's just a momentary feeling, and there are many problematic things in this world, even if there is really something wrong with the docks, it's none of their business.
The two said that they would leave, and immediately entered the city, and according to the map provided by Zhu Pianqi, they found Liu's teahouse very smoothly.
Liu's teahouse is located in a narrow alley, and there is not much business, and it is not cold.
The two found a hidden place nearby and observed from a distance. When they were looking for a favorable location, they realized that although the building of Liu's teahouse was very ordinary, no different from the dilapidated houses in the surrounding area, they could not see the interior from any angle.
After observing for a few days, they figured out that the shop has a fixed connection with some people in the outside world, for example, someone in the store will go to the market to buy every morning, someone will come to collect swill in the evening, and two tea customers will come to eat tea every day.
Chu Dingjiang followed these four people separately and found nothing suspicious.
Everything was normal during this time.
But they weren't in a hurry, after all, buying murder was not commonplace, and it wouldn't happen twice in three days. The two watched calmly for more than a month, during which Chu Dingjiang had gone in to drink tea twice, however, nothing was found.
Chu Dingjiang speculated that either Zhu Pianqi was selling fake news, or he had no business recently, or something they ignored when they were spying......
The duration of this mission is eight months, and there was a delay of a month on the road, in order to find the nest of the Ethereal Villa, it took more than a month to monitor this teahouse, and the Ethereal Villa must be even more tightly defended, and it takes a longer preparation time, so it really can't be put on hold any longer, Chu Dingjiang decided to test it.
Chu Dingjiang's light skills are good and easy to track, so the task of spending money to buy the murderer naturally falls to An Jiu.
The two agreed to meet at Qingfeng Restaurant in five days, and they acted separately.
It was past noon and the sky was overcast.
Business in Liu's teahouse was not very good, there were only a few regular customers, and after An Jiu entered, he didn't see Xiao Er, only saw an old man sitting at the counter and napping.
An Jiu knocked on the countertop behind him, and the old man slowly opened his eyes, "What kind of tea does the guest officer drink?" ”
"Is there a private room?" An Jiu asked.
The old man seemed to be sober for a few minutes, took out a dozen bamboo cards and spread them out on the counter, with the name of the private room written on them.
"Go upstairs and turn left into the last room." The old man said.
An Jiu went upstairs by himself and entered the private room.
After waiting for a while, a fellow came in and asked, "What kind of tea do you drink?" ”
An Jiu is the most accustomed to drinking white water, but since she came to the teahouse, she couldn't just order this, she said, "Tieguanyin." ”
"There's food next to the shop, but do you want some?" He smiled and said, "Does the guest officer eat meat?" ”
When An Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but look at this person carefully, he was about thirty years old, with a lean figure, a bunch of folds on his face with a smile, sparse eyebrows, thick lips, and he could almost see his back molars when he grinned.
She took out two taels of silver from her arms and put them on the table, "I like vegetarian food, please eat." ”
The man's mouth was even bigger, he put away the silver, and said, "There are immortal mountains on the sea." ”
An Jiu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Ethereal clouds." ”
The guy took the note and took a look at it, nodded and said, "A total of six thousand taels, and a deposit of ten taels." ”
When Chu Dingjiang wrote that note, An Jiu was next to him, and it was written "Yangzhou Cui Linglong, Zhu Pianji". Didn't Zhu Pianqi say that he received two thousand taels because he needed to be responsible? Then you have to bear something, Chu Dingjiang and An Jiu feel that they should take it for granted, and they don't have the slightest psychological burden.
An Jiu paid the silver according to his words, and said in his heart, he couldn't see that Zhu Pianji's life was quite expensive.
The guy said, "A month later, we will hang the head of the person outside the city ten miles of slope, the guest officer will bring the balance when inspecting the goods, if it is inconvenient for you, we can also go to the door to pick it up, I don't know where the guest official immortal residence?" ”
"Hangzhou Qingzhu Alley, my surname is Lu, and the word is double foolish." An Jiu told Chu Dingjiang about the identity of Hao Lu. (To be continued......)
