Chapter Seventy-Six: The Coachman Killer
Yan Zixi only felt that her neck was cold, as if something cold and hard was pressing against her throat.
Yan Zixi subconsciously lowered her eyes and was so frightened that she almost screamed.
I saw a sharp knife attached to his neck, emitting a cold glow in the sunlight.
"Coachman...... Eldest brother...... Watch out for your knives...... What are you going to do here? ”
Yan Zixi finally knew what the coachman was touching on the back of the horse just now, and it turned out that he was looking for this dagger.
"Miss Zixi, I'm already so obvious, don't you know what I'm going to do?"
The coachman smirked and continued: "I'm here to see you on the road, but not on the way home, but on the Huangquan Road below!" ”
"Wait, wait!"
Yan Zixi called the coachman to do something, and hurriedly stopped her, she knew that she couldn't panic now, she could only hope that her three-inch incorruptible tongue could convince him.
"Miss Zixi, for the sake of acquaintance, let you say a few more words, let's say, what other words do you have?"
Yan Zixi smiled slightly and asked calmly.
"I said big brother coachman, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?"
"To be honest, Miss Zixi, you are a good person, I have also heard of your deeds, you have treated many patients in the Yuelai Inn alone......"
When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately became angry, "Since you know, why do you want to take my life?" Don't you feel a troubled conscience? ”
The coachman grinned, with a hint of bitterness on his face, "Miss Zixi, I can't hide it, I was entrusted by someone to take your life, don't resent me, if you want to hate, hate the person who wants your life!" ”
"Wait! I'm a dead man, can you tell me who wants my life? Yan Zixi asked again.
The coachman was a little puzzled, and asked in confusion: "You are all dying people, even if you know who wants your life, what can you do?" ”
"I ...... I won't let him go if I turn into a ghost! ”
Yan Zixi remembered a line from the movie and TV series, and immediately spoke.
"If you refuse to tell me, then after I turn into a ghost, the first thing I will do is go to you to ask for my life, and then your wife and children!"
When the coachman heard this, his face suddenly changed.
These ancient people still believed in those ghosts and monsters to some extent, so after hearing Yan Zixi so frightened, the coachman immediately said with some fear.
"Miss Zixi, there is a debtor who is wronged, whoever wants to kill you, you can go to him, but don't come to me for trouble! I'm just taking money from people and eliminating disasters for others. ”
"Huh, huh? But if you refuse to tell me who hired the murderer, then I can only find you! ”
The coachman lowered his head and pondered for a while, thought about it, and felt that Yan Zixi was about to be dead, even if he really told her, there would be no hindrance.
"Miss Zixi, I don't know the person who wants your life...... He gave me five hundred taels of silver, so that I could finish you off halfway, and I still have to do it quietly......"
Good boy, five hundred taels?! What a big deal!
Yan Zixi secretly exclaimed in her heart, it must not be easy to be able to take out five hundred taels to hire someone to kill me!
But who could it be?
When she first came to the capital, she didn't have a few days, and she basically didn't have any enemies.
To say that the only person who may be offended is Mrs. Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, as well as ...... Qianqian County Lord......
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi immediately asked again.
"Brother coachman, is the person who gave you the silver two a girl?"
The coachman shook his head, "It's not ......"
"Isn't it?" Yan Zixi frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is that an old lady?" ”
The coachman still shook his head, "It's not ...... either"
How?! Aren't they? Am I guessing wrong?
This matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Xiao and Lord Qianqian?
"What kind of person is that?" Yan Zixi couldn't help but ask again.
The coachman thought for a moment, recalled the man's appearance, and then began to answer.
"That's a tall and thin little brother, half of his face is covered, and he can't see his appearance clearly, but seeing his vigorous steps and walking with the wind, he seems to be a practitioner, I don't know why he came to me."
"Quite simply, because the man didn't seem to be implicated in it...... Or that he doesn't want to implicate his master. ”
Hearing this, Yan Zixi probably guessed that the little brother who hired the murderer that the coachman said was just a handler, the real mastermind behind the scenes-
I'm afraid it's still Mrs. Xiao or the county lord of Qianqian.
Although Mrs. Xiao hated herself, but today, Old Prince Xiao did not agree to this marriage, and she couldn't hire a murderer to kill me again...... The only remaining suspect is the county lord of Qianqian.
But why did the county lord of Qianqian hire a murderer to kill me?
I only met the county lord of Qianqian today, although I have confronted her outside the general's mansion, but I won't kill people because of this, right?
Wait, Xiao Jingcong said that he sent Gonggong Li to deliver a message to me last night, but he was intercepted by the county lord of Qianqian halfway...... In other words, the county lord of Qianqian already knew about my existence?
The more Yan Zixi thought about it, the more she felt a chill in her heart.
Could it be that the county lord of Qianqian has already regarded me as a thorn in the flesh and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible.
But why?
There shouldn't be such a big hatred between me and the county lord of Qianqian, right?
The only explanation is ...... Love kills!
The county lord of Qianqian has always loved Xiao Jingcong deeply, so when he knew that Xiao Jingcong was with me, the love in the heart of the county lord of Qianqian turned into hate.
She wants to kill me and snatch back her Xiao Jingcong!
Everything seems to make sense.
When Yan Zixi thought of this, she only remembered that her scalp was numb for a while.
If it was as she guessed, then life might be really hard for the rest of the day.
Imagine yourself, how can an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer fight against His Royal Highness the county lord?
Is it okay for people to kill themselves in seconds?
As long as she really wants to make a move, I will never live to tomorrow.
Now she is still using this winding method to hire murderers, just because she doesn't want to get her hands dirty and make Xiao Jingcong suspect her.
Good for you, you are a county lord of Qianqian, you look gentle and elegant on the outside, virtuous and dignified, I can't imagine that you are so femme fatale.
I'm afraid that Xiao Jingcong was also deceived by the appearance of the Qianqian County Lord, no, not only Jingcong, but even Mrs. Xiao was afraid that she didn't see the darkness hidden in the heart of the Qianqian County Lord.
If this kind of woman is really allowed to marry into the General's Mansion and marry Xiao Jingcong, not only will Jingcong not be happy in her life, but she will even bring trouble to the entire General's Mansion!
No, I have to tell Jing Cong about this, and ask him to be more wary of that Qianqian County Lord.
However, the question is, how do I get out of it now?
Looking at the dazed and ignorant coachman in front of him, Yan Zixi felt angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell him in a tone.
The coachman saw that Yan Zixi had been keeping his head down and was silent, and he was impatient to wait.
"Okay, everything that should be said has been said, and you know what you should know, Miss Zixi, there is a debtor and a debtor, you have to recognize someone when you go to the underworld!"
As he spoke, the coachman swallowed his saliva, as if to relieve his tension.
Looks like he's done this for the first time.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
The coachman breathed a sigh of relief, took away the dagger, pointed at Yan Zixi and scolded: "I said aunt, what's wrong with you?" Can't you just shut up and let me slash you in the neck, isn't that the end of it? ”
Yan Zixi shook her head seriously: "Brother coachman, people don't kill like this, I suspect you haven't killed anyone at all, right?" ”
"You...... You...... You are talking nonsense! I...... I...... Why haven't I killed it? ”
As if Yan Zixi was aware of it, the coachman couldn't even speak, trying his best to hide the fear and nervousness in his heart.
But the more you disguise it, the more obvious it becomes.
At this moment, the coachman's hand holding the knife was trembling.
Yan Zixi is also drunk, what kind of killer is this looking for, it's five hundred taels, and five taels is too expensive for me
Yan Zixi didn't expect that there would be such a moment, and she felt that it was not worth it for the unjust money spent by the county lord of Qianqian!
Haha, just this killer, I can do it.
At least I've taken a scalpel, and my hands won't shake so much!
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi was no longer so scared, but became relaxed.
Especially when she saw the coachman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh.
Yan ...... Yan Zixi, I ...... I'm telling you...... Don't laugh, I'm a professional...... Now I'm going to ...... It's killing you! ”
"Hey, I said brother, do you know that your knife is not sterilized?"
"Eliminate ...... Eliminate what? Vanish...... Disinfect? ”
"That's right!"
Yan Zixi jumped out of the carriage, pointed to the dagger in the coachman's hand, and said: "Generally, such knives are contaminated with various bacteria and viruses on the handle of the blade, if you don't disinfect and don't pay attention to protection, you are likely to infect yourself!" ”
"Huh?!"
The coachman screamed, so frightened that he didn't hold it in his hand, and the knife fell directly to the ground.
After reacting, the coachman quickly picked up the knife from the ground, and then pointed at Yan Zixi and hummed.
"Yan Zixi, don't lie to me! You can't fool me, I'm not scared. If you were to believe it, those killers would have died long ago. ”
"People are different, people use their own knives, which must have been carefully wiped and disinfected, your knife looks like a stall, I don't know how many bacteria and viruses are contaminated!"
"Yan Zixi, don't talk nonsense, I will never fall for you."
Yan Zixi showed a harmless smile and said to the coachman: "Brother, you also know that I am a doctor, and I am also a doctor with superb medical skills, I just saw that you were infected, so I kindly reminded you." ”
"I ...... Am I really poisoned? ”
Yan Zixi glanced at the coachman, and then said slowly: "Brother, let me ask you, does your Yongquan acupoint feel like a pinprick in pain?" ”
