Chapter 16: Killing with Poison
Ye Sheng didn't rush directly to the six doors, but turned into a corner halfway through, took out the letter sealed with beeswax, and Ye Sheng was looking at the light and looking at the words inside. The envelope was not thin, and with the reflection of the light, Ye Sheng looked at the envelope over and over again, and could only barely see the words 'hall master', 'lover', 'exposed' and so on on the letter. In addition, Ma Rulong's scribbled handwriting is comparable to the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, Ye Sheng's reading ability is limited, and he can't see any doorways.
This Ma Rulong, could it be the hall master of some mysterious organization? Ye Shenghu was suspicious, put away the envelope and stepped into the six-door compound. The gates were opened, and there were only two officials standing there in the courtyard bored. Most of the six doors carry out important affairs of the imperial court, and they are very idle and have nothing to do on weekdays, after all, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people rarely have a place to use the six doors.
Seeing Ye Sheng walking in in white, a servant stopped, "What's the matter?" "Find a catcher surnamed Liu." Ye Sheng smiled, "My surname is Ma." "In Jiangnan City, there is only one person surnamed Liu in the six doors, his name is Liu Yishou, and his nickname is Liu Yidao. He only has a chain knife that sharpens iron like clay, and he only needs to use one knife to capture a thief and kill an enemy.
Liu Yidao's five-element serial knife is extremely domineering and ferocious, and there are many island thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Yidao is also famous for his repeated meritorious service to thieves. In the guest hall, Ye Sheng saw Liu Yidao. There was a long scar on his face that ran through his nose and cheeks, and Ye Sheng could see that it was a knife wound.
If you can injure a master with a knife and leave a scar on his face, then it means that this person's martial arts are extraordinary.
Facing the sharp gaze of Liu Yishou, who was thick-eyed and big-eyed, Ye Sheng immediately lowered his head, because he had already seen that the other party did not like to be looked at.
Liu Yishou didn't let Ye Sheng sit next to him, so Ye Sheng honestly stood in front of Liu Yishou and hugged his fists, "Hello Liu Zhu, I have admired my name for a long time." "Your surname is Ma?" Liu Yiyi looked Ye Sheng up and down with a pair of masculine eyes, "I don't think you look like it." ”
"The little one is called Ye Sheng." Ye Sheng immediately reported his name, "Fake registration number, I'm afraid that Liu Zhu won't see me soon." "Just because you are worthy of the word 'holy' in your name?" Liu Yiyi looked at Ye Sheng's white clothes and white belt, snorted coldly in disgust, and then asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
There was no one around the guest hall, but Ye Sheng still lowered his voice, took a step forward and whispered, "The younger one is Ma Rulong's brother, and this time he is here to deliver a secret letter." When it came to Ma Rulong, Liu Yishou's cold face seemed to be gentler, and he sighed and stretched out his hand to take the secret letter from Ye Sheng.
Unwrapped the beeswax and took out the letter and read it carefully, Liu Yishou's face changed slightly, his right hand clenched the armrest of the wooden chair, he looked at Ye Sheng, and his deep voice couldn't wait to ask, "Ma Rulong said, the charming Oiran lover in Yihong Courtyard turned out to be a woman who knows martial arts?" Moreover, you still want to kill him? ”
"I can testify that it is true!" Ye Sheng nodded, "The origin of the lover is mysterious, although my big brother Ma seems to have a secret identity, but I don't know about it, and I don't ask about it." "You really shouldn't ask." Liu Yiyi looked at Ye Sheng's eyes, and the look of disgust was much less, "Because the people who know these things have already lost their heads!" ”
Ye Sheng was not afraid, because he knew that he would not be cut off by Liu Yishou's head, "However, the lover seems to already know the identity of Brother Ma." "So, she's going to die tonight!" Liu snorted coldly, his voice low and powerful, "If you cooperate with me tonight, if you do a good job." Before the lover dies, I will make you feel refreshed. ”
Ye Sheng pretended to be surprised, his eyes lit up and he was happy like a villain, "Thank you Liu for your kindness!" How you act tonight depends on Liu Zhu's quick arrangement! Liu Yiyi stuffed the letter into his belt, stared thoughtfully at the floor and muttered for a moment, and then handed the medicine of a blue and white porcelain vase to Ye Sheng, "This is the first strange poison ...... martial arts."
"Lost in one day?" Hearing this name, Ye Sheng couldn't help but exclaim and change color, Liu Yi glared at him with disgust, and threw the celadon medicine bottle to him, "Illiterate bastard!" This is a strange and fornicating joy! Poisoned people, both men and women, will be burned with lust and will not be able to control themselves! You must find a man to fit together, otherwise, after an hour, you will die violently! ”
I didn't expect that the masculine and upright catcher on the outside is also a downhill person. Ye Sheng smiled admiringly, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The little one knows what to do wrong!" "Very good, tonight, I will ambush outside Yihong Courtyard, push the window and shake the red scarf as a number! As soon as I saw your signal, I immediately infiltrated it and killed my lover! Avenge Ma Rulong! ”
Ye Sheng, who had already dealt with Liu, slowly left the six doors, glanced back at the 'Zhengda Guangming' plaque hanging high, laughed silently, and then silently disappeared into the crowd on the street.
At the end of the shift, Ye Sheng stepped into the gate of Yihong Courtyard, the hall was still full of laughter and laughter, and many old customers who patronized knew that the lover had recently fallen in love with a white-clothed offspring, and the scandal between the two of them had already spread among these men. At this moment, seeing Ye Sheng's dazzling white clothes appear, many men looked over with wide eyes, and then, they were a little disappointed. Ye Sheng is just an ordinary man. Lover, how can you like such a guy?
In the face of those men's sideways gazes, Ye Sheng turned a blind eye, he had long been accustomed to ridicule and disdain, and appreciation and praise were the least comfortable for him. Familiar with the car went up to the third floor, and in the eyes of those men who looked up and looked stunned, Ye Sheng knocked on the door and entered the boudoir of his lover.
The lover was lazily lying on the bed, her body under the thin quilt seemed to be wearing only a belly pocket, revealing a pair of fragrant shoulders and red suspenders, she glanced at Ye Sheng with half-squinted eyes, and smiled sultryly, "How about the taste of scattered hearts?" Recalling his aching body at the fifth watch last night, Ye Sheng smiled reluctantly, "Life is better than death." ”
"It's good to know." The lover closed her eyes again, and her voice was soft and soft, "Today, what did you find?" "Yes, I found some objects and clothes in the alley on the corner of Suzaku Street, which looked like Ma Rulong's things." Ye Sheng lowered his head and didn't look at the jade lover on the bed.
The lover opened her eyes in surprise, and then there was a smile of joy on her face, "Really? Ye Sheng no longer spoke, but displayed Ma Rulong's silk robe and the dark iron token. Seeing the Xuantie token, the lover's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up from the bed and took away the token from Ye Sheng's hand.
After looking at it again and again, his fingers touched the word 'mountain' engraved on the token again, and the lover smiled charmingly, "It's really him." "Seeing the token, it is like seeing Ma Rulong for many years. Because the lover knows that there is only one token in the world, and this token belongs to Ma Rulong.
Ye Sheng's eyes rolled around and glanced around a few times, and then looked at the floor again. Because the lover at this moment is really only wearing a pink belly pocket and obscene pants, her chest is white and tender, and a pair of slender legs without gaps are dazzling in front of her. The woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people only lives in Yihong Courtyard, she is really wronged. Ye Sheng sighed, if he really showed up and went out, who in the world would not be crazy about a character like a lover?
Seeing Ye Sheng's restraint and shyness, the lover smiled disdainfully, sat back on the edge of the bed, and the silk cotton was covered with her spring light again, "Other than that, there is nothing else?" "And." Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment, slowly took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from his belt, and handed them over reluctantly, "This is a silver ticket mixed in his clothes, it should also be Ma Shilong's." ”
"Look at your stingy and greedy appearance!" The lover smiled angrily, "Put it away!" This girl doesn't take these hundreds of taels in her eyes! I'll give it to you! Seeing Ye Sheng's honest appearance, the lover did not doubt him, stared intently at the Xuantie token, and said to herself, "Could it be that Ma Rulong is really dead?" So, is the next step to go ahead as planned? ”
The lover's eyes glanced lightly, and when she met Ye Sheng's gaze, Ye Sheng bowed his head in a panic. This bastard, peek at your feet! The lover pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows, shrunk her three-inch jade feet, and disappeared in the silk quilt, "You ......" The lover didn't finish speaking, and the boudoir door was knocked.
There is only one person who dares to slap the door of the lover's room so vigorously, and that is the old bustard Zhou's mother in Yihong Courtyard. "O daughter! Come out to welcome guests, Zhu Gongzi, one of the four talents in Jiangnan, is here tonight! He wants to hear you play the piano and drink with you! Zhou's mother's knock on the door was not as gentle as her looks.
The lover's expression changed, first she was annoyed and frowned, and then she turned into a soft smile, "I know Mom, I'll go." The lover got up from the bed in a belly pocket, took a piece of clothing, and then glanced at Ye Sheng with an expressionless face. Ye Sheng realized that he immediately turned his back, and then there was a sparse sound of dressing beside the bed. The lover wearing a straight-necked bandeau skirt stood in front of the bronze mirror, and her smile was a seductive beauty. It's just that, looking at her own skinny appearance, a trace of disdain flashed in the lover's eyes.
"Wait here." The lover told Ye Sheng a word, and then opened the door to welcome him out. Mother Zhou's eyes took the opportunity to quickly look inside the room, and saw that Ye Sheng was neatly dressed and some distance from the bed, Mother Zhou was relieved, thank God, the innocent body of the lover can't be handed over to a white cloth!
The lover went to entertain the so-called Jiangnan genius, Ye Sheng was a little bored left alone in the room, and wanted to search the boudoir while there was no one around to find out the secret of the lover, but thinking of this woman's meticulous thinking and martial arts, Ye Sheng immediately gave up this idea.
He made a pot of tea for himself, Ye Sheng's right hand flipped, and the blue and white porcelain vase was already standing on the table.
