Chapter 9: The Beginning of the Killing

Besides, I took Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Nier to many places, but I didn't find a suitable place.

Although Beijing has a lot of money, this is not a problem for him, he can afford to spend a lot of money, and the problem is that the right stores are not sold at all. In his mind, what he needs is an independent place, and the area must be very large, but he wants to build a pharmaceutical factory, and there are many pharmacies, and the location of the auction house must not only be good, but also spectacular and magnificent, and he can't find two low houses to be auction houses, making it look like an underground casino.

These days, he has learned that most of the good places are occupied by those century-old stores, and the origin of these century-old stores is terrifying, even if the origin is not big, there is no backer behind it, and it is impossible to buy and sell strongly.

I really can't do it, so I have to use the property of the Marquis of Wucheng in the capital, which is also something I don't like to do. He also likes to open an auction house, but it is the property of the British Duke, and it seems that he has to discuss with the British Duchess whether to buy it or replace it with the property of the Wucheng Marquis Mansion.

The reason why he doesn't like to do this is because he really wants to cut off all these relationships, so that if something happens to him one day, he won't affect others, but it seems that he can't take care of these things for the time being, otherwise he really won't be able to show his strength in the capital.

Almost all of the best industries in the capital were monopolized by the prince's mansion and the prince's mansion, and the eunuchs and wealthy merchants occupied the rest. This is the basic consensus of civil officials, after returning to their hometown to retire, they will never love the prosperity of the capital, perhaps they have exhausted their energy in this rolling red dust, and they just want to die quietly.

Xiao Nier was not used to the cold of Beijing at the beginning, especially the cold wind that blew from time to time, which made her feel unbearable, but she was extremely adaptable, and in less than a month, she not only adapted, but also more resistant to frost than northerners, and the clothes she wore were not much thicker than when she was in Nanjing, and she no longer shouted cold.

Moreover, Zhou Dingcheng is a person with super ability to resist cold and heat, so he is not sensitive to climate change in the north and south, and the two family members behind him are locals, but they wear thick cotton robes, cotton hats and cotton shoes that seem bulky but are actually very light. The five seem to live in two distinct seasons. It looks funny.

Xiao Nier walked like a proud little phoenix, holding a famous sugar gourd in Beijing in her hand, and looked at Zhou Dingcheng with puzzlement while eating, I don't know why they disdain this kind of food, is it afraid of the cold, or is it afraid of breaking your teeth?

Besides, with Zhou Dingcheng's protection left and right, some evil young men and ruffians who coveted Xiao Nier's beauty saw that these two people were coldly opposed, and there was such a battle, so they retreated.

"Why don't you eat it, it's really delicious." Xiao Nier was indifferent to the coveted gazes around her, but she kept tempting the two of them.

"Enjoy, more, be careful if your teeth are spoiled." Besides, he laughed.

He glanced behind him, and exchanged glances with Zhou Dingcheng, both of them had already felt that there was a tail behind them, and they had already followed a few streets.

"Your own people or some other kind of people?" Besides, he asked with his eyes.

"Both." Zhou Dingcheng also replied with his eyes.

Besides, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, I really don't understand what the people behind meant. It's not a good place to kill people, but it's a wonderful place to track, and it's hard to find the person who is watching behind you in the crowd, but why keep an eye on him?

The other party is the emperor's person? The people of the Empty Dao Gate or the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect?

It stands to reason that only these three groups of people are likely to pose a threat to him right now.

The emperor is not at ease with himself, the reason why he can't figure it out, it is said that his biggest threat is to cure the emperor's illness, and it is even possible to rejuvenate the emperor, which is the biggest threat to today, after all, no one wants to be a century-old prince. With the former emperor already driving west, the threat has been completely lifted, so where does the emperor's wariness of him come from?

This is a question that he has been puzzled by for this time.

As for the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Gate, he didn't need to think about it, these two factions were now his mortal enemies, the Ancestor Protector Sect wanted to arrest him because of his identity, and the Empty Dao Gate wanted to arrest him because of an inexplicable rumor, saying that he had the treasure map of Emperor Jianwen back then, which was really ridiculous in the world.

If he could really get the treasures that Emperor Jianwen had taken away back then, he would have enough silver to build Zheng He's fleet. It is rumored that the treasures are a huge amount, not to mention the treasures looted by Zhu Yuanzhang when he opened the country, as well as the wealth of the Yuan Emperor obtained when he captured the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty from Genghis Khan were famous for their good goods, they robbed most of the world, and also did jewelry business with places that the soldiers could not reach, so the wealth of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, including the emperors of the major Golden Hordes, was far greater than that of the Han emperors of the Central Plains, and it is estimated that only Qin Shi Huang could compare with it.

These riches were divided by the heroes and generals back then, but Zhu Yuanzhang took back all these riches by slaughtering the heroes, and a considerable part of all this wealth and half of the funds for the construction of the Fengyang capital were said to be hidden in one place, leaving it to Emperor Jianwen, who Liu Ji decided to live a fugitive life.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Ji knew the fate of Emperor Jianwen back then, but they were unable to return to heaven, and they couldn't change this fate, so Zhu Yuanzhang secretly left this treasure, perhaps as a compensation for the emperor's grandson. Let him have more wealth than an empire in exchange for the supreme throne.

Besides, he is suspicious of such rumors, and even more indignant at the legend that he has a treasure map, is this a rumor made up by that bastard? Losing his conscience, it's not as simple as pulling hatred for him, it's simply changing the law to kill him.

If he can find the source of this rumor, and if he can really kill him at any cost, he really hates this guy who has nothing to smoke, and he simply roasts him on the stove.

"Let's let, let's let, be careful of the oil."

A man dressed as a restaurant guy rampaged through the crowd with two huge food boxes, shouting loudly.

Food takeaway is not invented by later generations, there was it in the Tang and Song dynasties, the takeaway industry in the Ming Dynasty was particularly developed, if you want to taste the authentic food of major restaurants, you can only call takeout, of course, those who can afford this kind of takeaway are rich people, if you want a bowl of fried noodles or spicy hot, you don't have to talk about it.

Everyone has avoided it, it may not be permable, the clothes are oiled, and those food boxes look clean, but oil stains are inevitable.

Moreover, the group also dodged to the side. Moreover, he took the opportunity to stop and scan everywhere, trying to distinguish the person who was watching.

Zhou Dingcheng is also doing the same thing, although he doesn't feel too much threat, but he is always stared at from behind, which is still very uncomfortable, especially the staring from unknown sources.

Just when the shopkeeper walked to the side, suddenly a person on the other side didn't know whether he couldn't dodge, or if he was hiding in the opposite direction, and suddenly crashed into the guy's body, and the shopkeeper flew towards the guy like a cannonball, and the two food boxes flew towards Xiao Nier.

Besides, he didn't have time to think about it, his body flashed, and he caught the two food boxes, not that there was any danger in these two food boxes, it was completely an instinctive reaction, and he didn't feel any danger at all at this time.

At this moment, his body suddenly felt threatened, and suddenly a terrifying feeling hit his heart, his whole heart was instantly cold, fortunately, his body played a role completely by instinct, and his waist twisted strangely, just like juggling, bent into a half-moon shape, a cold light flashed, and a sharp short knife flew under his ribs, this knife was completely aimed at his heart.

A knife missed, and the person who looked like a guy in the store was also stunned, he didn't expect to miss at all, at such a close distance, and the speed was so fast, how could he miss? Because of this, the assassin, who was extremely experienced in assassination, was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the assassin's mouth ran into a muddy horse, and his heart suffered a sharp pain like a knife.

This is completely inconsistent with the information given to him, and he said that he doesn't know martial arts at all, at most he can do acupuncture or something, but what kind of trick is this? Rely on it, this information is so fake that it's chilling.

He has also assassinated many martial arts masters, and he has never missed a shot, but he didn't expect to capsize in a gutter, and his reputation was ruined.

His assassination experience is not fake, he can't stand it, and he also has a lot of experience in being assassinated, which is still secondary, mainly because the five bird plays, internal skills, and the indescribable set of martial arts that he has cultivated since he was a child have all exploded in an instant, so that he can instinctively avoid this nidal blow.

Besides, there are no techniques for those exercises practiced, but the body is practiced very light, and it is not a problem to step like a cat, and the strength and flexibility of the body cannot be compared with ordinary masters. In other words, he may not be able to beat others, and it will be more difficult for others to defeat him.

"Good dog thief."

Zhou Dingcheng reacted, this was obviously a planned murder, a combination punch, and the people who were watching behind him were completely trying to distract them.

He was not in the habit of wearing a sword, and at this moment he flew up and went straight to the assassin's chest, this kick was no less powerful than the short knife, and the impact was stronger, as long as the kick hit, the assassin's heart would become a ball of blood.

The assassin didn't answer at all, but quickly retreated, grabbing a pedestrian next to him who was so startled that he couldn't move, and stopped Zhou Dingcheng's feet.

Zhou Dingcheng sighed, he had to stop his legs, he didn't insist on stopping the assassin, the main thing was to force him away, and safety was the most important thing.

As the assassin quickly retreated, Zhou Dingcheng saw a scene that made him tremble out of the corner of his eye.

Another short knife had already stabbed at the two food boxes that were being held at this time, and his body had just regained his balance.

This is a "double robbery"!
