Chapter 111: Fishing in Troubled Waters
That night, Sun Xiaozhen showed the desire of a new disciple of the martial arts hall and wanted to learn better martial arts, so he specially invited the worship head Mao Shunshui to come to Sun's Restaurant for dinner.
Mao Shunshui happily went to the appointment, Sun Xiaozhen's father personally accompanied, and pushed the glass on the wine table to change the lamp, hoping that Mao Jiaotou could strictly control his son and promote him to become successful as soon as possible, Mao Shunshui patted his chest and agreed.
After the dinner, Mao Shunshui took the fifty taels of silver that Sun Xiaozhen's father gave him, and said goodbye and went home full of wine and food.
"Sect Leader Mao, it's going to be curfew soon, or you will live in Pingkangfang!" Sun Xiaozhen's father persuaded worriedly.
"It's fine!"
Mao Shunshui drunkenly patted his waist, "I have a pass card, and the curfew is unimpeded, so I leave!" ”
He rode his horse and swayed towards the outside of the gate, looking at his back, Sun Xiaozhen's father shook his head and said to his son: "I originally wanted you to worship him as a teacher, but I found that he was very gangster, and he had a very deep background, so you should have less contact with him in the future." ”
Sun Xiaozhen secretly admired his father's vision for seeing people, and he could actually see that Mao Shunshui had a background, Sun Xiaozhen's father patted his son on the shoulder again, "It's a good thing that you are willing to work hard, even if you go to learn martial arts, you won't feel distressed about how much money you spend for your father." ”
Sun Xiaozhen's nose is a little sour, should she confess to her father?
He couldn't help but sneak a peek into the roof.
.........
Even at the same moment when his grandfather was looking at Mao Shunshui, on the roof of Sun's restaurant, a man in black was lying on the ridge of the roof, watching Mao Shunshui go away, and at this time he also found several other black shadows secretly moving around Mao Shunshui, and the man in black sneered, as expected.
Mao Shunshui's residence is in Xinghuafang, Chang'an County, he is a native of Henan Province, his wife and children are in his hometown, and he rented a yard in Xinghuafang.
The yard is good, the blue brick structure, there are three main houses, and there is a side room on each side, and the location of Xinghua Fang is also good, most of the people living in the workshop are above the middle level, there is no dirty mess, the environment is very good, such a yard in Chang'an at least a month to five dollars of rent, but for Mao Shunshui, who has an income of nearly 100 a month, this rent can only be regarded as drizzle.
Mao Shunshui closed the courtyard door, pushed the door into the house, the main room was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man with a white face and beard sat in front of him, obviously a eunuch, and there were two burly men standing next to him.
Mao Shunshui hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "See the dude of the playman!" ”
The middle-aged eunuch asked in a sharp voice, "So, Yang Long didn't come to you?" ”
Mao Shunshui nodded, "The person who invited me to dinner tonight is indeed an ordinary disciple, the young proprietor of the Sun Family Restaurant in Pingkangfang, he signed up in the martial arts hall three days ago, his father was afraid that he would be bullied in the martial arts hall, and hoped that I would take care of him more, and gave me fifty taels of silver." ”
"Who is this Sun Xiaozhen?"
"He's just a little ruffian, known as the Demon King of the Mixed World in Pingkangfang, fighting all day long, causing trouble, so his father sent him to the martial arts hall, hoping that the martial arts hall would take good care of him."
The middle-aged eunuch showed a look of disappointment on his face, he gave the man next to him a look, the man understood, turned around and went out, and after a while, the man came back and whispered: "The brothers outside said that there is no movement!" ”
"Alright! Tomorrow you will continue to fish for me, I believe that Yang Long will definitely come to you, you stabilize him for me, do you hear. ”
"Humble, remember!"
"Let's go!"
The middle-aged eunuch got up and left, and the four attendants followed him and walked to the courtyard, and the middle-aged eunuch commanded again: "If there are too many people, they will startle the snake, leave two people to monitor, and the rest will be withdrawn for the time being." ”
The middle-aged eunuch got into a carriage, left Mao Shunshui's house under the escort of a group of horseback warriors, drove towards the outside of the fangmen, and gradually disappeared.
..........
At the fifth watch, Mao Shunshui suddenly woke up from his dream, and he felt that his throat was pressed against a knife.
"What are you going to do?"
Mao Shunshui's voice was hoarse, he drank a little too much last night and slept relatively deeply, and he was actually plotted against with his skills.
"Where is Yang Long?" Someone in the dark asked coldly.
"I ..... I do not know! ”
"You don't know?" The knife in his throat tightened, and a smear of blood flowed down his neck.
Mao Shunshui reached out to touch the knife under the bed board, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in the left and right palms, and his two hands were actually nailed to the bed.
He was about to scream in pain, but his mouth was covered and his throat was in sharp pain.
"If you dare to scream, you will die!"
Mao Shunshui held back the pain and gasped heavily: "There are a lot of people looking for him now, I really don't know where he is?" ”
"Has he been caught?"
"No way, if he was caught, the people up there wouldn't be so anxious to find him."
After a moment of silence, he asked again in the dark, "Whose property is the Tiger Ben Martial Arts?" ”
Mao Shunshui was taken aback, "It turns out that you are not King Lu's person?" ”
The dagger stabbed into his throat at once, and he almost screamed in pain, and he said urgently: "Don't kill me, I said, the martial arts hall is opened by Zhou Hao, and it is actually Yu Chaoen's property." ”
"Thank you!"
In a flash of cold light, the dagger cut his throat, and then another knife was plunged into his chest, and Mao Shunshui died of anger.
.........
Not long after dawn, Mao Shunshui's courtyard was surrounded by a large group of warriors, and the middle-aged eunuch returned, his face gloomy to check the corpses on the bed, and behind him were two kneeling people, their faces like ashes.
After a big man searched the room, he stepped forward to report: "Qi Yu Father-in-law, the murderer came in from the roof of the outer room, and he also went out like this, there are no footprints on the ground, and this person's martial arts skills are quite high." ”
"Did Yang Long do it?"
"It shouldn't be, Yang Long doesn't have such a high level of martial arts, there is no way he can escape the eyes of the two monitors."
The middle-aged eunuch's eyes showed a fierce light, and he turned around and glared at the two monitors, but he didn't find anything, what was the use of asking them? His slender fingers were pinched into the shape of an orchid, and he put it to his lips and blew it gently.
The two people who were kneeling on the ground suddenly stiffened, and the tips of two swords peeked out of their chests, and they died of anger in an instant, and several big men dragged their bodies down.
There was silence in the room, and everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and the middle-aged eunuch asked lightly: "If it's not Yang Long, who will it be?" ”
The leader bowed down and said: "I think that it is either King Lu or King Zhao, and they are also looking for that thing, they think that Mao Shunshui knows the whereabouts of Yang Long." ”
The middle-aged eunuch sneered, "You should say, it's either Li Fuguo or Cheng Zhenyuan!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and when he reached the door, he stopped again and said, "Send someone to monitor the new student surnamed Sun." ”
........
In the Taoist temple, Guo Song said with a smile: "At least one thing is certain, the fourth brother was not caught, but fled to other places to hide, I'll just say!" The fourth brother is a monkey, how can he be caught easily? ”
Gan Lei also let out a long sigh of relief, "Then where will he hide?" ”
"Who knows? He'll be back anyway, so we'll leave him alone for now. ”
"I'm a little worried about Sun Xiaozhen, these guys are very suspicious, and they will definitely suspect him." Gan Lei was worried again.
"It's okay, I've already explained to him, let him recover his nature as a demon king in the mixed world, and continue to be a little ruffian in Pingkangfang, fighting, molesting the little lady or something, I let him act as if nothing happened, if anything, I will go to him.
As for the martial arts hall, let him fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, anyway, they are rich children who are afraid of hardship, and they are all this virtue. ”
"What if the fourth goes to find him?"
Guo Song smiled and said: "The fourth brother found that the house had collapsed, and he knew that I was coming, he would definitely come to me first, and the things were here!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"According to the plan, let's go hunting and make some money."
Gan Lei's heart was also eager, and he smiled and said, "You don't call hunting, but poaching!" ”
"Whatever! I mainly want to train my brother, after losing it for so many years, can my brother's martial arts still be picked up? ”
With a flick of his hand, a buzzing fly was pinned to the door with a throwing knife.
The two brothers burst out laughing together.
