Red Dust Inn Chapter 17 Jianghu Black Talk
The interior of the house is completely enclosed, with no windows, and even the doors are closed. The only source of light in the room was an oil lamp on the table, and the flames of red dates jumped to illuminate the surrounding area.
This is not anywhere else, but a secret room in the Red Dust Inn, located behind the walls of the kitchen, which requires the twisting of a mechanism in the cabinet to open. This chamber is not opened in normal times, but only when there is a major matter to be discussed, or when a corpse is being disposed of.
Shen Luoxia sat on the chair, changing her casual and leisurely attitude, with willow eyebrows and a serious face. The fire shone on her face, illuminating the delicate skin into a soft orange sè. Opposite her, sat the human butcher, who was as serious as her, and even more dignified.
The people in the store, Tu Zi, Song Kuaizui, Wang Er and others, all noticed the guest who came this morning, and also knew that the shopkeeper had tested the guest, and now the shopkeeper called the person Tu Zi to the secret room alone, proving that this was going to attack the guest.
If it is dealing with ordinary guests, of course, there is no need to worry, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the black-clothed guest is quite good, and his martial arts are as good as Shen Luoxia.
Shen Luoxia was silent for a moment, and finally opened her mouth, and said: "That 'idea' has a face on the yellow paper, and the 'radish head' is worth seven thousand taels of silver." What she said was black words on the rivers and lakes, and others sounded foggy, but insiders could understand the meaning.
The so-called "idea" refers to the "target" of the attack, "the face on the yellow paper" refers to being wanted by the government, and the "radish head" refers to the head, which is understood to be that the man in black is a fugitive, and the head can be exchanged for 7,000 taels of silver if he cuts off his head and sends it to the government.
"Is the idea hard?" The human butcher's eyes were staring, and the killing intent was Huohuo. What he meant by this was to ask the man in black how he was.
"It's hard, it's just prickly." Shopkeeper Shen shook his head slightly, and the silky hair on his forehead shook slightly. The idea is that the target is extremely difficult to deal with and it is inconvenient to start.
"If the idea is hard, let's put it on together, my kitchen knife hasn't seen blood for a long time."
"That man's nickname is 'The Poisonous Bird Over the Mountain', have you heard of it?"
"I seem to have heard that he is an expert in poisoning?"
"He is good at playing poison darts, and his light skills are also extremely high, if I go one-on-one, I will definitely lose, if we go together, it is inevitable that someone will be injured, even if he succeeds in taking him, it will alarm the customers in the store, and he has to show his stuffing." Shen Luoxia shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes were faintly focused, and all kinds of plans were brewing in her heart.
"What about drugging him?" The human butcher asked again.
"He himself is an expert in using poison, and I am afraid that the indiscriminate poison of Meng's sweat medicine will be tasted by him, and if he wants to use medicine, he must take some tasteless medicine."
"You mean 'unscented cartilage'?" The eyes of the human butcher lit up.
"Yes. The medicine in our inn, only this one is tasteless and will not be noticed, but the effectiveness of this medicine is very low, and it can only reduce the three success of the martial artist, even if the poisonous bird that climbs the mountain catches the road, he has to take a considerable risk to do him. Although Shen Luoxia had poison available, the worry on her face had not diminished. is like a master like the king dove of the poisonous bird over the mountain, even if he lacks three successes, it is still extremely difficult to deal with.
"Shopkeeper, if you really can't do it, don't do this 'list', but don't capsize in the yīn ditch. I'm not saying this because I'm afraid of that bullshit poisonous bird, I'm just worried that you're going to have a mistake. "The human butcher is tall and has a rough voice, and even when he says such caring words, he is angry.
"Thank you for caring so much about me." Shen Luoxia smiled, her lips turned upwards slightly, and a row of clean teeth appeared between her lips, which was simply fascinating.
The human butcher looked at Shen Luoxia's smiling face and stayed on the spot, his eyes showing obvious obsession.
Shen Luoxia's smile gradually faded, and as if she didn't see the performance of the human butcher, she continued: "I have heard people say that the case that the poisonous bird did over the mountain said that Li Yuanwai was doing a clean business, not a person on the road. The poisonous bird over the mountain poisoned the food in Li Yuanwai's house, poisoning Li Yuanwai's entire family to death, and several of the dead were just children. This man has committed a terrible crime, and since he has come to my shop, I will never let him out alive. I will not let go of this 'list'. ”
Although Shen Luoxia is a gentle woman, her words are extremely resolute and do not allow any room for maneuver.
"Since the shopkeeper has decided, then I won't persuade you, so as not to look like my mother-in-law. What are you going to do with this list, shopkeeper, even if you are told, if there is anything dangerous, just let me do it. The human butcher patted his chest and packed the ticket.
"I'll try to seduce him at night with a beauty trick to see if he takes the bait, if he takes the bait, things will be easy, if he doesn't take the bait, you can do it for me in his dinner."
"Okay, everything is up to the shopkeeper." The sound of the human butcher urn should be.
"Well, this matter is settled, let's go out. If the two of us stay, the people outside will have to eat you for me. Shen Luoxia smiled, stood up with great grace, stretched out her hand and pressed on the celadon oil lamp, and as soon as she turned the lamp holder, she listened to the rattling of the tension spring hidden under her feet, and the closed secret door opened instantly.
Outside the door was the kitchen of the Red Dust Inn, and another chef was in charge, and the smoke in the room was rolling, as if covered with a layer of fog. The chef must have heard the sound behind him, but pretended not to hear it, still thinking about the spoon.
Shen Luoxia walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, call Xiao Zhao when you are working this time, and let him watch from the side." He'd been here for a while, and it was time for him to know about it. I heard that Song Kuaizui said that Xiao Zhao is a good seedling who practices martial arts, and he is willing to work hard and make rapid progress every day. If you let Xiao Zhao join, you may be able to help in the future. ”
"Okay, this work has given him the opportunity to make a 'vote' and let him join us completely. I'm also a little tired of hiding it from him all day. The human butcher nodded in agreement.
Shen Luoxia stopped speaking, raised the wide sleeves of her robe, blocked her mouth, so as not to choke on the fumes, and left the kitchen all the way.
After seeing Shen Luoxia leave, the human butcher walked to the cupboard, opened the cabinet door, reached in, grabbed a bowl in the deepest part, and twisted it hard. The mechanism of the wall was touched again, and it slammed shut, leaving only a faint gap.
……
The rì head gradually sank to the west, and when it was time to eat, the lobby of the Hongchen Inn became lively, and the guests sat together in twos and threes, pushing cups and changing glasses, and talking about wine.
Zhao is shuttling among the guests, serving food for a while, serving tea and water for a while, and he is very busy.
Shen Luoxia seemed to be in a good mood today, sitting on the fence on the third floor, and humming softly while drinking: "Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is fine, looking at the extreme chūn sorrow, and the sky is gloomy." In the afterglow of the grass sè smoke and light, who will rely on the will of the speechless? I plan to get drunk with a crazy picture, and I sing about wine, and Qiangle is still tasteless......"
Shen Luoxia has a beautiful voice, coupled with the melodious tune of this song, and the words are poignant, so it sounds particularly pleasant, and it is really a pleasant enjoyment. As soon as her singing voice sounded, the voice downstairs immediately decreased a lot, and everyone turned their eyes to the top, and several of them even showed a look of intoxication.
In ancient times, there were few entertainment items, singing and listening to songs were already very good entertainment, and the folk love of music prevailed, as long as the singing was good, even if it suddenly led to singing, it was not surprising.
Zhao Zheng, like everyone else, also looked up. I saw the shopkeeper leaning on the railing, holding a porcelain white wine jug in his hand, and his posture outlined a concave and convex slender curve, as if a natural work of art.
Before the crossing, he could often hear all kinds of music, so he didn't think it was a luxury enjoyment, but after crossing, he couldn't hear the music for several months, and when he heard Shen Luoxia's singing, he only felt like a heavenly sound, which was really a kind of enjoyment.
Zhao Zheng slowly closed his eyes and listened quietly, until the singing stopped abruptly, and he opened his eyes again.
The guests in the lobby hadn't heard enough, and as soon as the singing stopped, they immediately stopped doing it, and they all started to coax and ask Shen Luoxia to sing again.
Shen Luoxia didn't forget to do business when she sang the lyrics, and asked these people to spend money to order food, and if the money was spent, she would reluctantly sing a few more songs. There were a lot of rich people among the guests, and some people immediately ordered a few plates of good dishes. Only then did Shen Luoxia reopen her singing voice, and then sang a few words.
In fact, Shen Luoxia sang the lyrics by the column tonight not to pass the time, but for another purpose, she wanted to use this move to seduce the man in black Wang Jiu, but unfortunately Wang Jiu did not take the bait, ignored her singing, and never went out. Shen Luoxia is skillful in seducing men, she knows that if it is a man who can lead the bait, she only needs to show off her demeanor a little to successfully hook up, if it is a man who can't hook up, even if she strips naked and sends it to the door, it is useless. After this temptation, it can be seen that Wang Jiu belongs to a man who will not take the bait, and there is no need to hook up again.
Shen Luoxia sang for a long time, her voice was already a little tired, she closed her lips, looked at the door of the Tianzi number with resentment, and secretly thought: "Hmph, this guy shouldn't be a silver-like pewter spear head, right?" Since you don't have a beauty plan, then I can only do it brutally. ”
Shen Luoxia turned over and got off the fence, and let the men downstairs stop singing anymore, she was condescending, and instructed Zhao Zheng in the lobby: "Xiao Zhao, you go to the kitchen for me to spread the word, let the butcher sell his strength tonight, and cook some 'good dishes and good meals' for the guest officers in the store." Her words sounded innocent to others, but in fact they implied a moral meaning of letting the butcher poison the king dove in the wine and food.
Zhao Zheng didn't know anything about the secret words of the rivers and lakes, so he went to the kitchen according to the order and repeated this passage as it was.
"Okay, I promise you'll have a good meal tonight." The human butcher monster laughed a few times, picked up the shiny kitchen knife in his hand, and chopped it heavily on the cutting board.
