Chapter Twenty-Six: The Man in the Silver Mask

In the past few days, he has felt a little inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

After lunch, the lady and the two concubines scolded and scolded together, he did not protect his beloved concubine as usual, and his eyelids that had been beating wildly made him feel uneasy.

He left the main hall and went straight to a wooden house in the corner of the courtyard.

Hu Duozi is a shrewd person, the embarrassing life in the past few years has made him more aware of the importance of money, using money to raise money, and the white wolf with empty gloves has always been what he is good at!

Therefore, with some savings, he naturally will not pin all his life in one place.

In addition to reselling medicinal herbs, he also came up with a good way to make money, he bought some tonic medicines cheaply from medicine farmers, made them into pills, and packed them in beautiful packaging.

Then use the fortune-telling skills that I practiced to observe words and colors, and my three-inch tongue, exaggerate and praise these pills, what will stay forever young, whitening and acne, etc., those rich ladies and ladies are not bad for gold and silver, they regard appearance as more important than life.

Hu Duozi talked about their hearts every sentence, and they happily spent a lot of money to buy hope and peace of mind.

This wooden house full of wooden frames was the place where he developed his pills, and he did not allow anyone to enter, not even his beloved concubine.

Today, however, as soon as he stepped on the threshold, a cold dagger was pressed against his throat.

Hu Duozi just drank a few glasses of wine, instantly turned into sweat and flowed out, he peeked out of the door, trying to shout to call for help, but before he could speak, the other party seemed to have expected that the force of the blade against the skin was a little heavier.

The faint chill emanating from the blade from his neck made him shiver inside, and he had no doubt that if he spoke, it would be his last words.

Thinking about the pros and cons, he gave up the idea of moving the rescuers, put on a pitiful look, and said in a trembling voice: "Hero, if you have something to order, spare the villain's life!" ”

The other party's low and cold voice sounded in his ears: "Don't try to play tricks, be honest, I'm not interested in your life; If you want to die, I'm happy to do it! ”

Hu Duozi swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said cautiously: "Hero, I promise to cooperate, can you take the knife away first, it's not good to accidentally rub it." ”

Unexpectedly, the other party really put the knife down.

Hu Duozi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the other party stuffed a pill into his mouth with lightning speed, and before he could react, the pill was forcibly swallowed.

Hu Duozi hurriedly buckled it with his hand, and the thing seemed to melt in his stomach instantly, and he was shocked and frightened: "You, what did you give me to eat?" ”

A tall, masked man dressed in black stood in front of him.

The man in black said casually: "This poison is called Yizhangqing, you don't have to worry, it will attack in a month, before that, as long as you cooperate obediently, I will give you an antidote!" ”

One foot green! Hu Duozi heard that it was named because the poisoned person vomited blood in his mouth before he died, and the blood sprayed a foot away.

He clawed his throat desperately, and for a long time, he sat down on the ground with a dead face.

The man in black looked at him mockingly: "A zhang of green dissolves in the blood in the mouth, hasn't Doctor Hu heard of it?" ”

Hu Duozi is not a loss is an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, frightened and angry to the extreme, but slowly calmed down, he smiled bleakly: "The hero is looking for me, he must have asked for something!" Although Hu is an ant-like little person, he also cherishes this little life very much, but if he can do it, I will do my best, and I only hope that the hero will send the antidote as agreed within a month. ”

The man in black sneered: "It's rare that you can see it, so come with me first!" ”

After a few years of pampered life, Hu Duozi's weight once soared to more than 200 catties, and even horseback riding became a problem.

At this time, Hu Duozi, who was like a round ball, was easily picked up by the man in black with one hand.

The man in black led him out of the skylight, and walked down the eaves of the roof without alarming anyone, including the two bodyguards who were still standing in the courtyard.

He was blindfolded and taken to a secret room.

When the strip of cloth was untied, he found himself underground, dark all around, except for the faint light of the candles on the stone table.

The man in black who had captured him stood not far from him.

Hu Duozi sat on the stone bench in front of the table nervously, he twisted his body and stared at the darkness in fear, as if there was a flood beast there, ready to pounce and give him a fatal blow!

After some time, the door of the secret room was opened, and a man dressed in a white gold silk shirt and wearing a silver mask walked in.

The man in black respectfully stepped aside.

Hu Duozi's eyes flashed, and his hand that was in the darkness under the table moved quietly.

The masked man sat down across from him, staring at him with only two exposed eyes: "You are Hu Duozi?" ”

His voice was mellow and magnetic, but there was a kind of coldness that repelled people from thousands of miles away.

Hu Duozi hurriedly nodded: "The villain is." ”

"Can you guess why I'm looking for you?"

The masked man seemed to glance at the bottom of the table.

Hu Duozi trembled with fright, and he had successfully obtained the poison in his sleeve as a precaution: "I don't know, please, please make it clear." ”

"You call me sir?" The masked man dragged his voice and said word by word.

Hu Duozi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's the villain's blind guess, you, you have a kind of majesty that only an official master has, which makes the villain afraid." If you don't like it, then..."

The masked man stopped his flamboyant tongue and ordered the man in black next to him, "Fetch two sets of teacups!" ”

The man in black was ordered to retreat.

The man in black turned the disc on the wall three times, and the stone door opened.

The man in black had already walked away, and the masked man also lowered his head and held the chess pieces on the table with both hands, Hu Duozi's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and his mouth still smiled flatteringly: "If the adult has something, please command, the villain must do everything!" Please believe in my sincerity! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he threw poison on his hand and threw it on the masked man's face.

Before he could take out the medicine powder, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and as soon as he lost the strength in his hand, the medicine bottle fell straight to the ground, and the white powder inside was sprinkled all over the ground, and almost at the same moment, his unconscious hung straight down beside him, and his painful face was like wax paper.

The masked man was still holding the chess pieces, and he sneered, "This is your sincerity?!" ”

Hu Duozi shook into a ball, threw his body deep on the ground, and said, "My lord, spare your life!" Hu swore that he would never dare to have the slightest dissent! ”

The masked man snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the use of keeping your hands, at this time, you would already be a waste!" ”

Hu Duozi felt palpitations when he heard this, and broke out in a cold sweat.

I heard the masked man continue: "Hu Duozi, you are deeply involved in a conspiracy. Do you know that even if I don't come to you, your life will not last? ”

Hu Duozi remembered the strange things that had happened in the past few years, as well as the feeling of being spied on recently, and knew that what the other party said was true.

And at this moment, his life is in danger at any time, and the two well-known killer bodyguards who have spent a lot of money on the rivers and lakes are still unaware.

The huge disparity in strength made him understand that the people in front of him were not something he could afford to provoke, and he was not qualified to resist at all.

Ignoring the pain in his body, he kowtowed again and again, shocked and frightened: "Please don't remember the villain, abandon the previous suspicions, and show the villain a way to live!" ”

The masked man said slowly: "As long as you do everything I say, not only will the antidote be given to you, but I can also keep you safe and leave Bian Yang." ”
