Chapter 108: Killing in the Night
I didn't see Wang Fu at the station of the Crouching Tiger Division, and the apprentice who received Xu You was called Fang Zhou, knowing the friendship between Wang Fu and Xu You, and showing great respect. Asked about Wang Fu's whereabouts, Fang Zhou replied that he had gone to Haiyan to chase and kill the fish that had slipped through the net for six days, and he had been there for five days, and he received news in the morning that he might return later today.
Xu You sat down for a cup of tea, and talked to Fang Zhoudong and Xixi, during which he talked about the killing order of the Heavenly Master Dao, Fang Zhou sighed: "Six days is also quite magical, and he actually sent someone to sneak into Heming Mountain to turn the Heavenly Master Dao's ghost well upside down, and I heard that even the three or five evil female swords have been lost." Sun Tianshi was furious and issued a decree to order the Taoist people to punish the remaining sins for six days. But the six days were quite hidden, and not everyone had words engraved on their heads, so some people began to fish in troubled waters, and if they had old grudges with someone's family, or to see whose family had more money, they took it and handed it over to the government in the name of six days, but there was no real evidence, and even set up a private torture hall to commit suicide in vain, causing a lot of trouble......
After these two months of fermentation, the matter of Heming Mountain has gradually spread to Yangzhou, with the strength of the Heavenly Master, if he didn't have the art of Qingming's doppelganger, he would definitely be exposed. Now you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the wonder of the world is here.
Li Xianji's matter naturally couldn't be made clear to Fang Zhou, and he made an appointment to come back to see Wang Fu another day, and Xu You left with his hand. Out of the Crouching Tiger Division, after a few streets, and was about to go to the house bought in Wu County before the winter solstice for a night, Qingming suddenly said: "Someone is following!" ”
Xu You nodded quietly and deliberately went to the remote alley. The sun sets, the first moon hangs high, the pedestrians on the road are thinning, and the sultry weather is not only slightly reduced by the arrival of night, but makes the cicadas all over the trees chirp desperately, as if to hook the soul to make people upset.
Walking to the foot of a paulownia tree in the middle of the alley, Xu You stopped, raised his head with his hands, looked up at the dense leaves that did not see the light of day, and chanted: "The early cicada hugs the locust leaves alone, and the noise spends autumn with the residual sun." also urged me to grow old, and I could hear the two ears moaning. It has to be the first without high rhyme, and it must be a green mountain with a white head. Its wings, how is this poem? ”
He Wei was five steps behind him and said with a smile: "The poetry is acceptable, but it still needs to be carved!" ”
At this moment, an assassin dressed in black fell to the ground from the tall canopy of a tree, like a cannonball, and rushed straight towards Xu You's door.
The long knife is like practice, and under the moonlight, it blooms with an incomparably dazzling cold light!
Xu You smiled and didn't move, looking at the tip of the knife three feet away from his head, Qingming who was still standing a dozen steps away just now appeared at his side, and stretched out two fingers lightly, like pinching an embroidery needle, clamping the tip of the assassin's knife.
The assassin was horrified, and just about to change his move, his body was invaded by a strange and unpredictable energy, half of it was cold, half of it was hot, and he was powerless to resist at all, as if he had been sucked dry of his spirit in an instant, he turned over from the air and landed, staggered, and sat down against the plane tree.
"Ahem, ahem...... Little Grandmaster ......" The black gauze brought by the assassin fell to the ground, blood flowed from his lips, and he smiled bitterly: "I knew that you had a little grandmaster by your side, no matter how much money you have, I won't come......"
Xu You squatted down, looked at the dignified-looking assassin, and chuckled, "If you are interested, I may be able to let you live!" ”
The assassin shook his head and said, "Although I am greedy for life, I am not afraid of death. Since you are doing things with money, you are ready to be caught by mistake. Cough...... This Lang Jun is a good method, the more I suppress the true qi in my body, the more I will be affected by it, and the more seriously I will be injured......"
Saying that, another mouthful of blood spurted out, Qingming was on guard in the morning, lifted the hem of the robe and blocked it in front of Xu You, and sprinkled a little blood on the Tsing Yi, there was a different kind of beauty.
Xu You sighed, stood up, and said, "Who sent you?" ”
The assassin coughed violently and said, "If you want to know, I'm afraid that Lang Jun will go to the underworld for ......interrogation."
Qingming bent his fingers like lightning, unloaded his chin, found the poison from his teeth, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said in a low voice: "It's the same as those who took poison in the first six days!" ”
The assassin's eyes showed despair, facing the little grandmaster, the difference in rank was like the difference between heaven and earth, let alone surviving, he couldn't even die.
"Interesting! First Li Xianji, then you, it seems that six days will not want to kill me and then quickly. Xu You laughed, motioned to Qingming to reattach the assassin's dislocated jaw, as long as there was no poison, his whole body was weak, and it was impossible to commit suicide, and said, "I'm honored!" ”
The assassin was stunned, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and then Xu You's words, "Since Lang Jun guessed my origin, he also knows that we would rather die than say a word." Then don't waste each other's time, let's do it! ”
"Huh? Is it? Xu You smiled slightly and said, "I vaguely remember that just now you said that you would take money to do things...... When did you kill people in six days and pay for the dead men under your command? ”
"Huh? You lied to me! The Assassin was a little embarrassed, but also secretly remorseful.
He Wei sneered: "With your scheming, you also learn others to lie?" He stepped forward and searched the assassin's body carefully, and with a sigh, he found a piece of jade steamed chestnut flour square cake from the secret sac.
"The pastries of Xu Fuzizhai in Wuxian County, a time-honored brand for decades, are expensive and extremely expensive in addition to being delicious! Waiting for idlers can't afford to eat at all! As a foodie, He Wei is like a few treasures of these gourmets, and said with a smile: "The square cake still has residual warmth, is it ready to take home for the lady to enjoy?" ”
The assassin stopped talking from the moment He Wei searched for the square cake, and was still indifferent when he heard the lady. He Wei smiled even more sinisterly, and said, "It's not a lady, it's a child...... That's right, such a small pastry is not enough to coax a woman, but it is enough to amuse a child! ”
The assassin's body shook slightly, his neck stiffened, and his cheeks involuntarily moved to the left. He Wei looked to the left along the side, it was the eastern suburbs of Wuxian County, and said lightly: "The daughter of the family is still young, and she lives in the eastern suburbs of the kind of mixed place, if you die, within seven days, your daughter will be abducted and sold, it is still good to be a slave and a maid, even if you fall into the Qinglou, it is better to be tortured and humiliated all day long." Have you heard of a strange way in the world, who hijacks young children to practice evil arts, first cut off their toes, and then pierce the soles of their feet with red-hot iron needles, and then steam them into lime water to rot, and sell them to beggars to beggars for money as waste......"
"Say no more! If you dare to touch a single hair of her, I will die, and I will not let you go as a ghost! ”
The assassin's eyes were red and his face was hideous, staring at He Wei, as if he wanted to jump up and eat people. He Wei shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "I deceived you, and I am not sure whether it is a son or a daughter, so it is so easy to spit out the truth." But that's fine, I promise you that your daughter will be found in less than three days, and if you don't confess what you were behind it, I don't mind finding someone to practice this trick! ”
The assassin was first furious, and then trembled, he just regarded life and death as nothing, but what He Wei said was simply cruel to the extreme, if he really let his daughter suffer such a tragic thing, he would rather kill her with a knife himself right now.
"I, I ......"
The assassin suddenly turned his head to look at Xu You, his eyes were bleeding and tearful, and said, "Xu Langjun, you have always had the name of benevolence and righteousness, I killed you before I killed you, and I am willing to lead the death, I just ask you not to affect your family...... Even if...... Even if you want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, you can kill them, why ...... ......" His voice trembled, thinking that he was completely frightened by He Wei's words.
Xu You said indifferently: "If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared for revenge." ”
Perhaps the scene depicted by He Wei was too terrifying, or Xu You's indifference made him at a loss, the assassin's psychological defense line was finally broken, and he said: "I have nothing to do with Six Days, but I don't know who instructed it, the person looking for me is called Huang San, a little tooth in Wu County, who does some cattle and horse business on the surface, but in fact he is omnipotent." Killing people for money is just one of them! The poison in my mouth was also given to me by him. ”
"Huang San ......"
Xu You understands that from ancient times to the present, assassins and prostitutes are indispensable professions, and unlike the public prostitutes, assassins always hide in the shadow of the glory of the times, which is fleeting and difficult to catch.
He Wei frowned and said, "With a name, it's not difficult to find this person!" It's just that such people are generally more cunning and have no real evidence, and it is not easy to make him confess his guilt and surrender to the law! ”
"Don't worry, with a name, are you afraid that the cooked duck will not fly?"
Xu You looked down at the assassin, and he hurriedly said, "I've said it all, please Lang Jun don't hurt my daughter!" ”
"Did I promise you?"
Although Xu You thought that the assassin had already confessed, he still habitually deceived him again, saying: "How did you collude with Huang San, how did you trade, and how to deal with the aftermath after the matter was completed?" It's not true, it's cunning and hateful, I gave you a chance, it's you who don't cherish it, no wonder I! ”
"Don't, don't!" The assassin went completely insane and said, "I said, also, Huang San told me a place, if I can capture you alive, I will knock you out and take you there; If you die, you can cut off your head and send it over, and you will be rewarded with a heavy reward in addition to the reward......"
He Wei sneered and said, "This person seems to hate you to the bone...... I'm curious, if not six days, who! ”
"Really? I'm curious too! ”
Xu You and the other assassins told him the address, asked Qingming to knock him unconscious, change into his clothes, and then handed him over to He Wei to escort him to the Crouching Tiger Division first, while he and Qingming went out of the city at night.
When I arrived at the agreed place, it was a small farm yard, which was remote and dark. Carrying Xu You on his shoulders into the courtyard, Qingming had already changed into the appearance of an assassin, slapped his palms three times, and barked three times, and after waiting for a while, the door in the middle slowly opened.
A person walked out, short but capable, according to the appearance described by the assassin, it should be Huang San, he walked to the side of Qingming, and by the faint moonlight, confirmed that it was his own person, his voice was very low, and said, "Succeeded?" ”
"Hmm!" Qingming handed Xu You over to Huang San, he looked down carefully, nodded, and said, "It's the main master." Your payment has been placed in the old place, remember to pick it up tomorrow! Let's go, it's none of your business! ”
"Hmm!"
Qingming arched his hand and disappeared into the night.
Huang San carefully picked up Xu You, took him into the house and tied him firmly with a rope, and then left the yard as well. After about half an hour, three men in black came to the courtyard with masks, and one of them pointed to the main house and said, "Inside! Lang Jun really wants to do it himself? ”
"If I don't see him die with my own eyes, how can I dissipate my anger? Anyway, Huang San is dead, no one knows my identity, and I will kill Xu You again and bury him in the mountains, unaware. ”
Thinking about it, this is also the truth, Huang San has already been killed just now, and the assassin who did it doesn't know who instructed him, and he will kill Xu You again, but he can't push down his own Langjun, so this person will no longer dissuade him.
Pushing open the door and lighting the candle, I saw Xu You with his eyes open, his mouth stuffed with rags, his face full of horror and uneasiness, and his embarrassed appearance was similar to the previous demeanor.
"Hahaha!"
The man only felt that the refreshment in his heart had never been so rich, walked up to Xu You, leaned over and stared into his eyes, and the hatred in his words was unconcealed, and said, "The light of the night...... Tonight is gloomy, the moonlight is cloudy, the sky is pitiful, Xu You, you finally fell into my hands! ”
