Volume 2: The Heart Has a Thousand Knots Chapter 34: Life and Death and Parting
Since becoming a first-class monk, Zhou Zeyu feels that his heart for doing things has been much higher, even if he is tired of making money every day, he is still very happy.
Lao Liu's guy knew that he had entered the path of cultivation, and he was even happier than himself, and specially invited him to drink a pot of unique sandalwood wine from Nanliang, which was a good thing, and it was comparable to the Yaoxian Liquor that had basically become the national wine of Western Chu.
Lao Liu was probably drunk high, so he told him a few words in his heart, Lao Liu said that he was an old bachelor, no children and no daughters all his life, from the first time he saw him Zhou Zeyu felt that he fell in love, and later saw that Zhou Zeyu was indeed a good hand at doing things, so he had the intention of treating him Zhou Zeyu as half a son, and he also said that he would leave the Moon Teahouse to Zhou Zeyu in the future, which made Zhou Zeyu both grateful and sad, grateful for Lao Liu's goodness, and sad Lao Liu's loneliness.
But when I talked about it again the next day, Lao Liu didn't recognize it alive or dead, a few years, who didn't know who, Zhou Zeyu knew that Lao Liu was a little embarrassed, he didn't take it to heart, Lao Liu is not very old, it is possible to open for another twenty years, he Zhou Zeyu can't wait, after a few years from Luyuan, and then find a girl who is the right person to marry, he will leave, of course, if Lao Liu is willing to hand over the Mochizuki Teahouse to his son Zhou Zeyu, he is still very happy.
During this time, there were things that made him particularly happy, three days ago, there was a group of uncultivated Jianghu guests who refused to pay the bill after eating, but unfortunately they met Zhou Zeyu, who became a master of a product, this is good-looking, and finally he was obedient, and even gave a few more taels of silver, since then, Lao Liu's eyes on him have changed, and even Ah Mei, who is cooking in the back kitchen, secretly smiled at him, but unfortunately it is a little ugly, otherwise he Zhou Zeyu may have a daughter-in-law, except for this, Lao Liu also deliberately increased his salary, but he refused, after all, his debts have not been paid off, and it is not easy for Lao Liu to do business, so he can't think about being good to himself, just do whatever he wants, people, have a conscience.
Today's holiday, Zhou Zeyu appeared outside the Mochizuki Teahouse early in the morning, humming a small song unique to his hometown, thinking about what work he could do today, but he felt wrong as he walked, how could there be so many people around, he walked forward quickly, but found that there was a seal on the door of the teahouse, and there were two people who looked like they were carrying a corpse, not covered with a white cloth, Zhou Zeyu just glanced at it, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, that familiar appearance, It was clearly the old Liu who was still smiling and talking to him last night.
The onlookers whispered, probably some sighs, and some praised Lao Liu for being a good person, how many good things he has done, etc., but they are all ordinary people, they all have their own things to be busy with, and they disperse after gathering for a while, people die like lights go out, even if they die, they can't stir up a few waves, and the big people are still like this, not to mention Lao Liu, a small shopkeeper?
Zhou Zeyu looked sad, but now is not the time for him to grieve, almost no one knows, Lao Liu always can't help but an orchid finger when he hides something or encounters something extremely shocking, Zhou Zeyu has not made a joke about Lao Liu, and when he was sitting down just now, he inadvertently saw that the dead Lao Liu actually raised an orchid finger, how can a good person say that it is gone, Zhou Zeyu didn't believe it, he glanced left and right, but he went around to a remote alley and climbed over the wall, The young man walked through the back kitchen to the lobby, his face was gloomy, there was blood everywhere, and it was very messy, he went to Lao Liu's room again, the same mess.
Could it be that he was robbed? But this, it's not like it, if you want money, why bother to kill people, and the old Liu who was carrying it quickly just now was dressed very cleanly, Zhou Zeyu suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly ran to the jujube tree outside the thatched toilet in the backyard, pulled hard, and sure enough, he came across a jar-like thing, Zhou Zeyu looked like he knew it was like this, dug out the jar and opened it, there were some silver tickets inside, as well as five extremely thick account books, and a letter.
My real name is Liu Zhao, when I was young, I entered the Changzhou Assassin Mansion, and was appreciated by Xu Huang, the master of the Assassin History, and became the big housekeeper in charge of the Inner House, and worked hard for decades, but I inadvertently found that Xu Ningzhi's accumulated evil deeds, and got five books of accounts, for this reason, I escaped from the Assassin Mansion, and I thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, so I assumed the name Lao Liu, and opened this Mochizuki Teahouse, in order to prevent accidents, I wrote a letter here, if one day unfortunately dies, please ask future generations to be able to announce this son's evil deeds to the world, so, It's also an explanation to those who are poor and dead.
A few words, concise and to the point, Zhou Zeyu clenched his fists fiercely, Lao Liu said that he treated him as half a son, why didn't he Zhou Zeyu treat Lao Liu as half a father, but he died, the teahouse was gone, only one was left, Xu Ning had heard of him, the only son of Xu Huang of the assassination history, this person had an excellent reputation, everyone said that he was gentle and elegant, and never did the foolish thing that brought evil slaves to the street, Zhou Zeyu was a little eager to know the answer, he opened the account books, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and abducted children, Embezzling salt and iron, forcibly kidnapping young girls, and fornicating with foreign ministers, all of these things add up to a human tragedy.
The young man tilted his head and tried not to let the tears flow out, his mother said, men bleed without tears, Lao Liu died, he was still there, then his old Liu's last wish was the responsibility of his half of his son, to restore the ground to level, the young man gritted his teeth and left quickly.
He was going to find three people, A Pig, A Cat, and A Dog, which were the three names that appeared the most in the ledger except for Xu Ningzhi.
……
But it was said that in the small courtyard of Xiao Jinchen and the four of them, the young prince stretched his waist, stood in the courtyard and punched a few times, the sweat on his body evaporated like mist, Mengwanzhong and Jingjing were practicing swords, and the fight was inseparable, Zhu Yu stood outside the door, looking at the three of them, with a complicated face, especially Xiao Jinchen, she even had the heart to bite him to death.
But what is the way, who let their own young lady take this bite, but now there is a turnaround, the New Year is coming, Hou Ye called someone to pick up the young lady back, this time the young lady is out of sight and out of mind, I am afraid that I will be able to forget this bastard boy.
Xiao Jinchen closed his fist and stood still, letting out a breath of turbidity, he knew that Mengwanzhong was going to leave today, so he deliberately ordered Yuanfu to open the store first, and he stayed to prepare to give her a ride, after all, she was also her fiancée.
Mengwan didn't have any reluctance to leave at all, it was normal, and after fighting with Jingyi, he smiled and said private words for a while, Xiao Jinchen was not interested in this, he just squinted at the negative armor general and the three or five retinue standing at the gate of the small courtyard, his eyes were hot, is this the soldier under the command of the god of war, at a glance, he knew that it was the elite soldier of the battlefield who crawled out of the pile of dead people.
To tell the truth, Xiao Jinchen actually admires his father in Mengwan, this is one of their Dinghai Divine Needles in Xichu, and the lone wolf soldiers under his command are even more famous all over the world. It's a pity that Xiao Jinchen never had the chance to meet the lone wolf soldier, otherwise he would have to drink a few jars of his mother's wine with this group of real men.
There are a lot of trivial things between women, and this is parting, it is even more troublesome, quiet eyes with tears, Mengwan is also red, walked in front of Xiao Jinchen, originally opened his arms and wanted to hug, but when he saw Quiet snuggling, he just stretched out his fist and beat Xiao Jinchen's chest.
"I've given you a New Year's greeting in advance, take care of yourself, and take care of Jingyi, otherwise I'll be in a hurry with you."
"The little one understands." Xiao Jinchen hugged his fists with a hippie smile.
Meng Wanzhong nodded, and the two of them gradually drifted apart, and the military general followed behind the two without saying a word.
……
In the Thorn Mansion, which is separated from Axe Street by a fireworks alley in Luoyang County, there is a man in black who is kneeling on the ground, his face is furrowed, and there are a total of eighteen scars, looking at it, the young man in front of him is counting this six-grade house slave with a dissatisfied face.
"What do you eat, ledgers? Why didn't I bring back the ledger? He's an ordinary person, where can he hide that thing? ”
The man in black replied in a solemn manner: "The little one went to look for it, and almost all the inn was found, and the old boy was also a hard stubble, and he refused to say whether he lived or died, no matter how I tortured him, he just didn't say it, so the slave came back."
"Dig three feet into the ground?"
The man in black was stunned: "This ...... Not really! ”
"Then why don't you hurry up?" Xu Ningzhi almost roared.
"Yes." The man in black got up and just walked out of the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "The little one also heard a message, I don't know if you want to know, childe."
"Speak!"
"Liu Zhao has a good relationship with a guy named Zhou Zeyu in his shop, Xiao Si may have this account book on him, we can go and check this person."
"Then what the hell are you going to do when you come back, if you have an idea, do it, I don't think you're much different from those three-headed fools, what do I want you for?"
The man in black didn't dare to say anything when he heard this, so he turned around and left.
Xu Ningzhi kicked the vase at the door of the room with a kick of anger: "It's all fucking waste, and this Liu Zhao, it's really damned, Lao Tzu's account book is also what you can steal?"
The young man's eyes were gloomy, and there was a little fear in them, but he knew the power of those account books, if someone found out, don't say it was him, I was afraid that even his father would be beheaded, this was not what he wanted.
……
At the intersection of Axe Street, the three of them walked slowly, but it was a little funny, the originally thin and tall dog was even bigger than the pig's face, and the cat, limping, but the pig among them was fine.
The group led by the armless old man was the most frightened, but after seeing that the three of them did not make any other moves, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they looked proud, and look, Lao Tzu was also the one who beat the king of Hades.
The old man surnamed Wu Mingyong slowly walked to the door of the Peach Blossom Nunnery after the three of them left, followed by a child with pigtails, but coincidentally, the two of them happened to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.
