In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), on the third day of the second month, in the evening.

In order to avoid debts, Wu Kang got out of the dog hole and sent away the bodyguards. I wanted to go back to the Shifu and saw Chen Shuozhen's subordinates, the Seven Fairies who had a few faces. Quietly followed and followed, through the streets and alleys, to the front of the abandoned house.

It seems to be... A famous haunted house in Wuzhou, Cui Xiaoqing told him. The eerie environment, the cold wind, the strange sounds, the real horror atmosphere. The corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, he is quite good at finding a place, this place is suitable for killing people and burying bones.

Thoughtfully, weighing the pros and cons, stepping out of your legs and into the ruins. Pull out the horizontal knife and hold it in his hand, lean over the half-man-high weeds, and walk into the doorless house, looking at the vertical and horizontal spider webs. I couldn't help but nod secretly, if I came to ambush, I would choose this room.

Suddenly I heard a slight sound of breaking the air, felt something strange in my abdomen, and looked down to see three bright silver needles on my night clothes. In a flash of thought, he silently recited the actor's self-cultivation, threw the knife on the ground, covered his abdomen and showed a hideous expression, and moaned in pain. Quietly pulled out the silver needle, knelt on the ground, and convulsed violently.

At this moment, I know that the routine of the Seven Fairies uses themselves as bait to lure me here, hiding from the shadows and using hidden weapons to sneak attack. It's an abandoned haunted house and no one will pass by. The plan to carry out the assassination relied on some kind of powerful secret weapon, feeding poison or anesthetic on the silver needle.

The routine almost succeeded, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and I am wearing body armor. It is in the Chu family of Cuiping Mountain, the cloth that the bamboo gun cannot pierce. The last time he was attacked by Chu Shenke, he dismantled the glider cloth and made it into a bulletproof vest, and the silver needle failed to break the skin.

Now is the time to dramatize, Wu Kang is not sure if his clumsy acting skills can trick her into appearing. Howling in pain, he adjusted the position of the handle and kept an eye out of the door.

About five minutes later, a slight footstep came, Wu Kang put his heart in his stomach, and lay on the ground like a dead dog, his head tilted sideways to breathe. A pair of embroidered shoes appeared, raised his eyes with difficulty, saw the sharp horizontal knife and the hideous face, and listened to the bitter hatred and deep mockery: "Wu joined the army, I can't think of it, you also have today?" ”

Wu Kang didn't speak, he still showed his acting skills, forcibly rolled his eyes, and tears came down.

The enchantress continued to taunt: "Your life is very hard, you can hold on for so long. The three-reed needle is a magic weapon of the Xuannu, and the silver needle is highly poisonous, and the throat is sealed with blood. I will take your life and avenge Tonglang, even if I am given death by the Xuannu... No, I can't die yet. ”

The style of painting changed abruptly, she actually stroked her lower abdomen, revealing her maternal brilliance, and said to herself: "Mrs. Wen Bao, when I give birth to our child, find a family to settle down, and then go to the Xuannu to ask for guilt, do you say okay?" ”

Wu Kang frowned slightly, this girl is pregnant? Her brain turned quickly, and she gradually figured out that she was pregnant with Tong Wenbao's child, Tong Wenbao was killed by me, and she wanted to take revenge. Widow Chen is plotting a rebellion, and she must not be allowed to make any extraneous branches. She stole the secret weapon and single-handedly sought revenge.

The Seven Fairies asked hysterically, "Why did you kill my Tonglang?" You have caused me to lose my husband, and my child has lost an adult, I want to seek justice and use your head to pay tribute to Tonglang! ”

"Justice? Hehe", Wu Kang pretended to be struggling, and snorted angrily: "My brothers Wen Ruo, Er Niu, and twenty-one bodyguards died tragically at your hands, who do I seek justice?" We are soldiers, you are thieves, soldiers kill thieves, thieves kill soldiers, it is justified, how can we talk about justice? ”

The roar sounded again: "You are dog officials, you are beasts, pigs and dogs are not as good, and you must not die well." ”

Leaning his right hand into the hilt of the knife, Wu Kang sneered: "We are dogs and beasts, and you beasts are not as good as beasts." The family of the old man of Cuiping Mountain Chu are all old and weak women and children, but Tong Wenbao is a killer, he is not as good as a pig and a dog! ”

"Shut up, they harbor the dog official, and there is more than enough to die", the demon woman raised the horizontal knife, revealing a strong murderous intention: "Xuannu Niangniang said, the dog official deserves to die, and the same party deserves to die, and it is only right for Tong Lang to execute them... Death to the dog officer. ”

The sharp sword light was blocked, and it sent out a violent impact, and the seven fairies took a few steps backwards, and ran away in a stunned half a second. Wukang carp stood up, blocked the door with arrows, and split Huashan. With the harsh friction, the witch was forced to retreat, her back hitting the pillars, and a cloud of dust fell.

Don't give her a chance to breathe, swing a horizontal knife and slash at the pillar, draw the knife and attack again, a knife is as fierce as a knife, the pregnant woman is naturally not an opponent, and soon falls into the disadvantage. The horizontal knife collided again, the opponent's middle door was wide open, and Wu Kang saw the opportunity and slashed her neck horizontally. The speed is fast, and the witch has no time to block, and she will definitely die.

The moment the sword light swept over his shoulder, but there were branches, and Wu Kang felt a flower in front of him. The huge force smashed on the arm, forcing the long knife to move vertically, driving the waist down. Before he could react, the knife flashed, and the blade came to his throat.

The plot reversal was too sudden, and a sentence flashed in my mind, I Wu Kang is not convinced! The left neck touched the blade, which was cold and piercing, and there was a slight pain. The blade didn't go any further, the knife was on his shoulder, Wu Kang couldn't help but wonder, this girl's conscience has been discovered?

Quickly raised her head, and in an instant, she gasped for cold air, and the blood and flesh of the witch's left eye were blurred, as if a bullet had pierced through her eye. Blood kept pouring out, mixed with white brains, and she stood silently in place with a hideous face, gritting her teeth.

After a few seconds, Wu Kang tentatively reached out and gently pushed her lower abdomen. The corpse slowly leaned back and fell firmly to the ground, his right hand vertical, and the horizontal knife held high. What's going on, who saved me, I didn't hear the gunshots...

The goosebumps dissipated, and he looked at the corpse of the witch and looked at the window opposite, where the long-tailed feathered arrows were slanted into the lattice, and the feathers were still bloodshot. The arm-thick rafters in front of him lay on the ground, rotting at both ends, and there was a hibernating gecko in the groove, revealing a white flower belly.

With a long breath, Mu Ne turned his head, looking out of the door in a daze, the danger just now, the curtain flashed through his mind: the moment I was about to kill the demon woman, the roof rafters fell and smashed into the crook of my right arm. The witch seized the opportunity and was about to kill me at the moment when a third person appeared.

The sharp arrow was fired against the left threshold, like a sniper bullet, and the left eye went in and out of the back of the head, hitting the wooden frame of the window. So powerful, it must be a three-stone strong bow, so accurate, it must be a marksman. A figure flashed in my mind, when the spring ploughing ceremony was held, I wanted to put me to death. Such a bloody plot, such a changeable scene, filming?

Staring at the demon woman's lower abdomen, that little life, will die soon... A wry smile crept up on his face and said to himself: "No matter how vicious the parents are, the child is innocent." One corpse and two lives hurt the heavens and reason, God is not happy, let the rafters fall, what does Brother Chu think? ”

In about half a minute, a deep voice came: "Ye Ye has done good all his life, Yun Niang is kind-hearted, the dog is young and ignorant, and Chu has no quarrel with the world." If God had eyes, they wouldn't die, and I wouldn't be alone. The children of the wicked will also become wicked, and they will not be innocent. ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu heard the conversation just now." I will help you avenge your family, you save my life, and our past grievances will be written off. Dare to ask Brother Chu, where will I go in the future? ”

Chu Shenke carried the longbow on his back, walked to the window, pulled out the long arrow and put it into the quiver, and said lightly: "Tong Wenbao is dead, and the demon woman is far from enough." Their master, Chen Shuozhen, must be buried for my family, and I will kill her. ”

No, brother, Widow Chen is gone, who rebelled in Muzhou, why should I be promoted? After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, I got a secret report that Chen Shuozhen will definitely raise the flag to rebel this year." ”

His mind was racing, and then he flickered: "She is cunning and cautious, and the masters around her are like clouds, and the killer I sent has returned." It's not that I don't believe Brother Chu, it's difficult to assassinate him. We want to take revenge, only when she rebels and leads a large army to encircle and suppress it, we can be foolproof. ”

Seeing that Chu Shenke frowned slightly, he continued to strike while the iron was hot: "What is the most expensive in the world, answer talent." If Brother Chu doesn't dislike it, stay with me for the time being, for a limited period of one year. If she doesn't rebel this year, Brother Chu can leave, and I will never stop her. ”

Chu Shenke shook his head and bowed his hand and said, "Thanks to Wu for joining the army and not giving up, Chu is grateful." However, although the hunter in the deep mountains is hard, he is a free body; Although the martial arts are glorious, they are slaves and untouchables. ”

"Brother Chu misunderstood", Wu Kang smiled and waved his hand, haha said: "I am the president of Shengshi Security, I hired you as the head coach to teach employees archery, and the salary is as you like." In addition, I promise that in the event of a war, Shengshi Security will fight as a mercenary or militia. ”

Chu Shenke continued to be entangled, and Wu Kang did not urge, waiting quietly. Shengshi Security is a dart bureau in the open, and it is a training base for low-level officers. The bodyguards were fed by chickens and were strong and strong, and they all had some three-legged cat kung fu, and they were forced to read and write. The only regret is that I couldn't find an archery instructor and turned Chu Shenke over, and the quality of the bodyguards went to the next level.

After about half an hour, Chu Shenke stretched his brows and said with a light smile: "Last time in Kurong Mountain, Jiu Niangzi once said that assassinating the imperial court official was a capital crime. Wu Gong hired Chu as the head of the sect, wouldn't he know the law and break the law? ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal and said with a smile: "The law, under normal circumstances, does not bind three kinds of people: those who make the law, those who enforce the law, and those who abide by the law. If you want to be promoted, the bigger the official does, the fewer people will enforce the law against you. ”

There are some ways to say this, Chu Shenke can't understand it, Wu Kang continued to flicker: "I am the one who enforces the law, one acre and three points of land in Wuzhou, and there is no official to restrain me with the law." Your identity is known only to me and Uchiko, and if I say you're not an assassin, you're not an assassin. ”

Chu Shenke didn't say anything more, and bowed down. Wu Kang was unaware of the accident, he was brave and strategic, and knew how to choose good birds to perch on. He picked up the horizontal knife with his left hand, looked at the corpse of the demon woman, sighed lightly and turned to leave.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after about two minutes, I returned to Shengshi Security. It happened that Xiucai was on duty, and according to Wu Kang's request, he settled Chu Shenke. Signed a one-year employment contract with an annual salary of 10 yuan, and officially hired him as the head coach. Chu Shenke knew how to read and hyphenation, and it was even more unexpected, and he secretly screamed that he had picked up the treasure.

Back in the president's office, Xiucai brought bone-setting medicine and wine to deal with the bruise on his right arm. Thinking back to the picture of the dilapidated house, I still have palpitations, it is really a moment, and it is really unlucky. Originally, the victory was in hand, but the unlucky rafters almost died.

After taking the medicinal wine, my whole arm was numb, and I couldn't exert any strength. Xiucai said that it was normal, his family's ancestral medicinal wine, at most two hours, the paralysis disappeared and the bruise dissipated. Seeing that it was getting late, he commanded him: "I will stay here for a few days, hide from the four old foxes, and let the brothers keep it a secret." ”

Xiucai nodded in agreement, and suddenly the corners of his mouth flashed ambiguously, and he lowered his voice and said: "If Wu Shuai hides from people, the company is not safe, and everyone knows that this is your industry." There is a proposal from his subordinates, in the small courtyard next to Zhao's father-in-law's house, the head of the household went to visit relatives in other places, and his subordinates rented it yesterday. It's absolutely confidential, and the Nine Ladies don't know, so you can go there and hide. ”

Does Cui Xiaoqing know, does it matter? Wu Kang didn't know why, squinting at him. Seeing that his face was full of smiles, he quickly lowered his head, and his heart was even more suspicious, the rhythm of trouble. Thinking that he wouldn't harm himself, he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, so he directly ordered him to lead the way and go to the small courtyard to rest.

Similar to a courtyard house, the supporting facilities are complete, and the rooms are elegant and clean. Wu Kang was quite satisfied, came to the bedroom, rubbed his sore arm, and said lightly: "It's not early, you clean up the bed, help me take off my coat, and go back to sleep." ”

Xiucai nodded, suddenly covered his stomach with his hands, and hunched his waist and sighed, "Wu Shuai Rongyu, the new cook is too poor to cook, and her subordinates have drunk more cold water, and they are having stomach trouble... Why don't you wait for a while, and your subordinates will go to the hut first, and then come to serve? ”

"Get out! There are a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey", waving his hand like a fly, Wu Kang's face became even more ugly. If you don't pull it sooner or later, you don't pull it at this time, this kid has a problem. Is it embarrassing? It should be, it is really embarrassing for a man to undress a man.

Sitting in a chair, I thought about the haunted house, which would cause unnecessary trouble if the body was found. Consider a moment of rolling out a blank sheet of paper, trying to remember the route you trace, and drawing a route map. When Xiucai came, let him clean up the body with Chu Shenke.

Putting down the pen in his hand, yawning, hearing the sound of the door opening, he pouted and scolded: "Damn Tian Shenu, have you shit for so long and fallen into the dung pit?" Hurry up and make the bed, undress me after making the bed, what's the shame of taking off a man's clothes? ”

didn't get a response, Wu Kangjue's funny, I'm really ashamed, what can I eat you? He turned his head in fright, snorted, and jumped up from his chair. Xiucai was gone, and a woman stood with her head down, trembling nervously.

Wu Kang gradually came back to his senses, Xiucai didn't go to the thatched house at all, and his skin was itchy. A little ridiculous, he walked up to the woman and said, "Xiucai asked you to come?" Who are you... Forget it, make your bed and go. By the way, inform Xiucai that all his bonuses for this month's salary will be deducted. ”

The woman cowardly agreed, Wu Kang frowned, and felt that the voice was very familiar, and then looked at the figure was also very familiar, so she raised her head. Seeing that blushing face, I immediately recognized that it was Qin Niang, the daughter-in-law of Xu Erniu, who was forced to pay debts during the inspection yesterday.

Thinking of yesterday's misunderstanding, I couldn't cry or laugh for a while, this damn showman, listening to the wind is rain. coughed dryly twice, and said embarrassedly: "Xiucai made his own opinion, and he had to continue to be punished." You go and inform him, deduct two months' wages, and let him run around the city wall twice. Oh yes, Xu Erniu is fine, have you seen Langzhong? ”

Qin Niang's eyes were red, and she said cowardly: "The neighbors came to ask for debts, and the money given by Lang Jun has been repaid." ”

Wu Kang quickly figured out that there are no gamblers in the world who are not in debt. The villagers are excessive, this is the money for medical treatment, how can they ask for this kind of money? couldn't help but be a little angry, and aggravated his tone: "Didn't you explain to them, can't you repay your debts after the autumn, and the execution of the condemned prisoners is all after the autumn." ”

Qin Niang shed tears, didn't dare to look at his face, hung her head and replied: "My family owes money to the Du family, and the family's land was occupied by the Du family, and twenty acres of Yongye land were also sold to the husband." If you don't have land, you can't repay your debts, so you don't blame the neighbors. ”

Wu Kang is happy, Xu Er's best scum, Yongye Tian dares to sell it, I don't know how to write the word "death"! The Tang Dynasty implemented the equalization system, and all men over the age of 20 could get 100 acres of land. Eighty acres of land were divided and returned to the government after death; Twenty acres of Yongye land is a private field, which can be inherited and bought and sold.

Du Jialiang 10,000 acres of land, do you rely on this way to annex? His brows were twisted into pimples, he glanced at the pear blossom with rain, and said in a slow tone: "Don't cry first, let me ask you, how do you live without a field?" Also, what would you be here? ”

Qin Niang replied: "Rely on your uncle to help... Yesterday, the head of the show sent someone to let me come here to be a cook, take care of food and housing, and earn 300 yuan a month. The husband agreed, and Mr. Xiu took us here and lived in the courtyard next door. ”

This thing is done beautifully, Wu Kang is a little obscene, why don't you give Xiucai a salary increase? Coughed dryly twice, and smiled: "His nickname is Xiucai, and his real name is... Never mind. Let me ask a question, you answer honestly, Xu Erniu or the Du family, which one do you hate more? ”

Qin Niang was a little confused, and replied after a long time: "The slave hates the Du family even more, and the husband didn't play before." Once when he came to the city to buy medicine for Qing Niang, he was targeted by the evil servants of the Du family and dragged him to the gambling house. The husband won first, then lost, and gradually became addicted to gambling. ”

The old-fashioned routine, deceiving others to gamble, let you win money and taste the sweetness first, and when you are deep in the mud, it is the time to go bankrupt. Wu Kang sneered again and again, and said lightly: "Let's play a game, the name of the game is the public trial conference, and the time is a quarter of an hour... Sit down and talk. ”

Wu Kang brought a chair over, forcibly pressed her to sit down, and sat opposite to explain the rules: "Within a quarter of an hour, tell me all the bad things you know and the Du family has done." If you move me, I will make the Du family disappear completely, and your original land will also be returned to Zhao. ”

glanced at the stunned girl, and continued to seduce: "At the same time, I will find a professional to treat your husband's wounded soldiers and gambling addiction, and you can go back to the past." Hehe... You're an ant, and now it's cool to decide the life and death of an elephant. Tell me, do you want to play? ”

Qin Niang hung her head and didn't speak for a long time. When he was bored, a firm accusation began. The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and the more Wu Kang listened, the happier she became. The information shows that three years ago, the Du family was just a commoner, and once a noble person came to the family, who was Du Mei's backer and Princess Gaoyang's nurse.

Since then, the Du family has made a fortune, and two years ago opened the Golden Hook Gambling House, gradually forming a gambling street. Relying on all kinds of illegal means, coercing or tricking the common people, usury to grab ill-gotten gains. In just two years, countless people's homes were used to build a huge room for the Du family.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Kang sat in front of the desk, endured the pain in his right arm, and wrote on a white paper with a pen. The more it hurts, the more ruthless it can be, uprooting the deep-rooted Du family.

The letter reads: Dear Uncle Lu, I received a letter from Zhaoyi a month ago, and the sage realized that Princess Gaoyang was rebelling, and there is real evidence. Rebellion will be a river of blood, not bad little Du family, you know what to do.
