Chapter 15: Killing Night
On the exception side, somewhere in Ping'an City.
A man and a woman, dressed in white and black, with two smiling masks on their faces, one white and one black, sat upright, as if waiting for someone to come.
"Click~"
It didn't take long for the closed door to be pushed open, and a large masked man walked in.
When Dahan saw the two people in the room, he took off his caution a little and took off his mask.
"I will kill the people you want me to kill, and what do I want?"
"One hundred taels of gold is here, and the carriage to send you out of the city has been arranged, and it will be there in a while."
"Hehe, count you two brothers and sisters as talking."
Dahan stepped forward, the fire of the wick of the oil lamp shone on his face, and there was a long scar at the corner of his eye, if Hu Xiu was here, he would definitely exclaim, Lu Wei!
The big man reached out and took the money bag, stretched his head up, opened the bag, and was about to take a look...
White smoke came out of the bag
"Oops! What is this! My eyes! My eyes! β
"Poof~"
But the answer to him was the dagger that had been inserted into his heart!
"Hehe~ Do you really think you're doing business with us? Knowing so much about us, do you still want to live? You're naΓ―ve with an elm head. β
"ε²~"
The dagger was pulled out, and the person who killed Lu Wei was wearing a white mask and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Brother, you're killing again."
"Sister, my brother didn't kill as many people as you."
The white-masked man took out a white gauze scarf, gently wiped the blood stains off the dagger, dragged the body to the back room, and sat back again.
Tonight is killing night.
β¦β¦
In the early morning, the sky was bright.
"Oops~"
Hu Xiu stretched his waist and sat up in confusion.
Yesterday, he seemed to have drunk a fragment, he only remembered that he and Shi Dali Hai fought for almost half a catty of wine, that Shi Dali drank with him, and he drank the liquor, just like drinking boiled water.
But this wine is really good, drunk, and now I don't have a headache after waking up, but I feel refreshed.
He couldn't remember what happened after drinking half a catty, this body drank so badly, more than 30 degrees of wine, why did he get drunk after half a catty?
"Huh~"
There seems to be a different sound coming from the bed?
Hu Xiu looked down at his body, when did he take off this clothes? Gently lift the quilt next to you.
"it!"
When did this camellia go to his bed? Could it be that he drank too much last night and then went into a wolfish rage......
Hu Xiu lifted the quilt and looked underneath himself.
"Roar~ It's okay, my pants haven't been taken off, nothing should have happened."
"Childe, you're awake."
The camellia poked its head out of the quilt, its fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, and the collarbone inside was also looming.
"Just woke up, why are you in my bed?"
"To serve you."
After saying that, she propped up again, and her hand was taken out of the bed, and what wrapped her body was just one, a bright red belly pocket, embroidered with all kinds of bright and beautiful flowers.
Hu Xiu just glanced at it, and his nose was a little hot, this girl, I can't see it when I'm wearing clothes, and the capital is quite big.
"We ...... last night?"
"We slept together, and my mistress told me to serve you, and I served you all night."
"Who helped me take off this dress?"
"Yesterday, my son smelled of alcohol, so I helped you take it off privately, changed your underwear for you, and wiped your body with a warm towel."
Wait a minute? The clothes inside have also been changed? Hu Xiu carefully touched his clothes, and sure enough, they had been changed.
"You're not going to do anything to me, are you?"
"How dare the slave family do anything to you, son, anyway, I will be your person in the future."
"It's too fast, let me slow down."
Hu Xiu couldn't accept it for a while, he was a responsible person, in his mind, he also fantasized about a sweet love, why did he suddenly have an extra woman? And this woman has only known each other for two days.
"Childe, you dislike me for being unclean, but I'm a clean man, I don't sell my body, I didn't let other men touch me before I met Childe. Or is it that the son dislikes my background for not being good enough, just a girl in a green house? β
"No, no, I'll definitely be responsible for you, but you'll have to give me some time."
Hu Xiu heard the camellia, the loneliness in his words, and hurriedly relieved. As he said, he will be responsible, after all, he is a man.
"Okay, Childe, the slave family understands."
"Camellia girl, can I ask you how many neighbors you are this year?"
"Childe, I'm still called a slave girl, I'm seven out of ten this year, and eight out of ten after the New Year."
After the New Year, it will be eighteen? I guess it's a virtual age, just like me and me, I remember that this body, this fifteen-year-old has only passed so many days, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, but he has become sixteen.
"Childe, but do you think I'm old?"
"No, Camellia Girl, you're still young, and you're as beautiful as a flower, and although you're a little older than me, I don't care."
Hu Xiu responded stupidly, the two of them had nothing to talk about for a while, and the atmosphere was a little cold for a while.
"I want to get up, where did you put the clothes I took off?"
"Take it down and wash it for the next person."
Hu Xiu looked around and saw a tall cabinet next to the wall, which looked a bit like a wardrobe.
Gently lift the quilt, let the camellia, and then lie down in the quilt, she is a person without martial arts, she can't let her get cold, otherwise it will be easy to catch a cold.
Throwing his shoes, Hu Xiu trotted all the way and ran over.
Open the cabinet, there is a row of clothes and pants hanging on the top of the cabinet, it is estimated that there are more than ten or twenty pieces, this guy loves to smell and beautiful.
"Huh? It's a bit handsome. β
Hu Xiu was looking, but he saw that the blue clothes on the far left seemed to be embroidered with a dragon.
Take it out and take a closer look, the true image of this dragon pattern, a giant dragon, made of gold threads tattooed on the cyan clothes, looks lifelike.
But why is it a dragon? Hu Xiu'an was extremely afraid, this original owner wouldn't be trying to rebel! After all, dragons are the emperor's prerogative.
"Childe, why are you staring at your official clothes for so long?"
What? Official clothes?
Camellia interrupted Hu Xiu's assumption, he seems to be still a six-rank guard, this is the official uniform.
After searching the wardrobe for a while, I found the official seal from the bottom of the wardrobe, as well as three sword boxes.
The body of the official seal is navy blue, and the word "Hu Xiu" is engraved at the bottom, and the seal stamped must be the word "Hu Xiu".
This official uniform, Hu Xiu doesn't plan to wear it out, it's too pretending to be 13, it's too ostentatious, because he is afraid that others won't know, he is an official.
The first is a sword box carved from jade, a sword box, and there are seven gems of different colors embedded in the box, if these are true, then this sword box will be priceless.
If you think about it carefully, there is no need to fake this prince's mansion, get a fake, the last sword box... But it was as if it had been burned by fire, and it was as black as charcoal.
The first jade box, as Hu Xiu thought, is a white jade long sword, the gentleman should be matched with jade, this jade sword has some meaning, but if you talk about attack power, this jade sword, and other weapons are estimated to be broken when touched, how to kill the enemy?
The sword in the priceless sword box is much more low-key, and the scabbard is a deep cyan with a heavy metallic texture.
"Click~"
Pulling out the long sword, the body of the sword was much lighter than Hu Xiu expected, and two words [Qingluan] were engraved on the hilt, looking at the sword body, the word "three-foot Qingfeng" appeared in his mind, but this sword was much longer, maybe five feet, or six feet.
The last black box, after opening, the sword inside is also jet black, black like coal, but this sword box is hidden very deeply, maybe the original owner has some special meaning...
Of these three swords, Hu Xiu picked out the [Qingluan], and he liked this sword very much.
"Camellia, do you know where my little guy is Fan Jianqiang?"
"Little guy? Oh, Childe, are you talking about the maid who has been following you? β
"Yes..."
Hu Xiu didn't want to explain the gender of this guy anymore, anyway, if he said it, others wouldn't believe it.
"Fall asleep in my room."
"What? Slept in your room? β
This Nima, Fan Jianqiang, this melon baby, why didn't he resist so much?
"Camellia, you sleep for a while, look at the day is still early, remember to eat morning food when you get up later......"
Hu Xiu said, picked out a set of black clothes from the wardrobe and put them on his body, the original owner's taste was similar to his, he didn't like the colors of flowers, and most of the clothes were mainly black and white.
Carefully closed the door, afraid that it would make a noise to the camellia, closed it, and rushed towards the side house in the small courtyard.
"Click~"
I didn't knock on the door, I pushed the door and walked in.
"Little Fan Fan, are you quite fat?"
When I saw the house, a screen was blocking, and the little guy was sleeping on the ground, so he slept in some places in front of the screen.
"Huh? Childe, why are you here? β
The little guy rubbed his eyes and sat up in a daze, he actually slept in his clothes, thinking that it was too cold on the ground.
"Nothing."
Hu Xiu was also pitiful for a while, and seeing that he was not sleeping in bed, he was not ready to care anymore.
"Childe, but you're here to ask about clothes?"
"Huh?"
"Yesterday my son fell asleep, and I washed my clothes at night, and now I hang them in Sister Camellia's room, and when the sun comes out, I will hang them out."
It turns out that Camellia said that the next person is Xiao Fan Xiaowu, too, this little guy has thin arms and legs, as a man, it's time to work.
"That's it, get up quickly, and help me get the washing."
"Uh-oh."
The little guy stretched out his hand from the bed, patted his cheek, sobered up, put on his shoes neatly, opened the door, and walked out.
Hu Xiu consciously sat down in front of the low desk, on which was placed half a plate of osmanthus shortbread, which seemed to be leftover from the previous night.
I don't know if I can eat it after two days, whether it has expired, but it doesn't matter, fifth-order master, I have such an awesome body and bones now, even if I eat some expired food, it doesn't matter.
"Click~"
While eating, the door of the room was opened again, and the little maid was carrying warm water, such as a tooth cup, which contained yesterday morning's "toothbrush" and a small black box.
"So fast? Xiao Fan, have you washed yourself? β
"After getting the young master, the cold water washed down his face, and his teeth bit the willow branches."
"Willow Branch?"
How do you brush your teeth with this thing?
"Yes, everyone bites willow branches."
"Go and get another toothbrush, and a tooth cup, and if someone asks you who told you to take it, you say I gave it."
"That's not good..."
"I'll let you get it, and I'll get it."
"Uh-huh."
Looking at the little girl's secretly happy appearance, the corners of Hu Xiu's mouth curled slightly.

To the east, at the entrance of the Yamen.
"Childe, what are we doing in the yamen?"
"When did you say you went to the post house?"
"I didn't say it."
"Wouldn't that be good, come to the yamen first, and follow them to see the murder case in that section."
Early in the morning, the door was wide open, but there was no official at the door looking at the door.
As soon as I entered the yamen, it was like entering a downtown area, noisy, and many officials were talking to a few crying women who were about to go crazy, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Hu Xiu saw it at a glance, and the two brothers of the Shi family who he saw last night were also among them, so he stepped forward and grabbed Shi Dajin.
"Hu... Lord Hu? What are you doing here? β
"What's the situation with your yamen? Why are officials and errands entangled by these women? β
"Well, Master Hu, last night, after I carried you back, some big things happened."
"Big deal? Someone was killed again? To report the crime? β
"Bigger things, the Holy One has been alarmed......"
"Can you tell me?"
"The officials in the city, even last night, more than a dozen died."
