Chapter 29: In One Day
The dark horse and the golden retriever went out again, and Li Sangrou sat under the porch in a daze.
Da Chang put a bunch of knives and guns everywhere, and took out his cowhide armor, carefully rubbed the oil, and glanced at Li Sangrou from time to time.
Li Sangrou drew the narrow sword and held it in front of him.
When she woke up, she had the sword with her.
When she closed her eyes, her mind was empty, and this body knew how to use a sword and how to kill, as if it were another person...... It is indeed another person.
It took her more than a month to bring herself into this body.
Mi Blind said that she was a top killer, and Shizi said that she followed the path of a killer......
It is impossible for this body to have no past, and those pasts are likely to be the past of a killer.
If there is really such a thing as a killer, then this past is wonderful.
……………………
Wen Cheng was not in Prince Rui's mansion, and the golden retriever got the enthusiastic guidance of the porter and went straight to the gate of Xuande in the imperial city.
Wen Cheng is accompanying Gu Xi to check the Ao Mountain outside the Xuande Gate, as soon as it gets dark today, the Dengshan Mountain will be colored, and the most lively and festive Lantern Festival of the year will officially begin.
Little guy, please be sincere.
Gu Xi took half a step back, stretched out his head slightly, and between the gap between the little guy and the guard, he looked at the golden retriever who was talking to Wen Cheng with a smile on his face, and Wen Cheng with a serious face.
Wen Cheng came back very quickly in the past, met Gu Xi's glance, and said with a smile: "It's Miss Li, she said that she had something to see me, and said that the sooner the better, at the tea shop at the mouth of the fried rice lane." ”
"Oh." Gu Xi only sighed indifferently.
Wen Cheng waited for a while, and saw that Gu Xi had no follow-up, so he had to smile and say, "We're busy right now, why don't you let Zhihe go?" ”
"People are looking for you, what's the use of going to Zhihe?
If you want to go, go quickly, I have you here without you. Gu Xi said as he walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Wen Cheng looked embarrassed, Wen Shunzhi patted him sympathetically, and pouted, "It's not good not to go, hurry up and go back, and report back quickly." ”
"Ugh." Wen Cheng sighed in annoyance and turned out.
When Wen Cheng arrived at the tea shop, Li Sangrou was already waiting for him, and when he saw him come in, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Wen Cheng sat opposite Li Sangrou, looked at Li Sangrou with only a cup of tea in front of him, and waved his hand to signal Dr. Tea that he didn't need anything.
"Miss Li came to me and said it was urgent?" Wen Cheng gets straight to the point.
"Have you ever heard of the killer business?"
Li Sangrou was more straightforward than Wen Cheng, and in the face of Wen Cheng's stunned gaze, Li Sangrou explained with a smile:
"This morning, in an alley in front of Xijiaolou Street, two people died, and someone from the yamen directly let Leaky Zeyuan take it away.
The black horse happened to bump into it, so he inquired a few words, saying that he heard from the people in the yamen that those two people had signs of life and death on their bodies and were killers.
This Lecheng, there is a killer business? ”
"Miss Li......"
As soon as Wen Cheng said the three words of Miss Li, he paused, and swallowed the words that she was not a killer herself.
Miss Li may be a killer, but it is just based on Shi Ziye's speculation that her kung fu is a killer all the way, and it would be too imprudent for him to say this guess.
"What are you doing about this?" Wen Cheng changed the conversation very quickly.
"It's a good business, Mr. Wen must know a lot." Li Sangrou said with a smile.
"I know very little, but I heard that some people use money to buy murders, and some people use money to kill people, doesn't Miss Li know?" Wen Cheng replied extremely tactfully, and asked rhetorically in his words.
"Is there a killer among those who hunt down your son? What price? Li Sangrou didn't answer Wen Cheng's question, just stared at Wen Cheng and asked.
"I heard that they don't accept the commissions of officials and officials, and they don't kill officials and officials."
"That's right." Li Sangrou happily knocked on the table.
"Miss Li is planning to do a killer business?
There are a lot of businesses that can be done in Jianle City, and it is very easy for Miss Li to do whatever she wants, if you talk about making money, it is only a lot more than that of a killer. ”
Wen Cheng looked at Li Sangrou's happy face, and couldn't help but persuade tactfully.
"Thank you." Li Sangrou arched her hand at Wen Cheng.
"Miss Li is polite." Wen Cheng stood up and said goodbye to Li Sangrou.
All the way back to Xuande Gate, Gu Xi was watching Aoshan absorb water for the last time and test the water.
Wen Cheng approached Gu Xi and whispered a few words of conversation between him and Li Sangrou.
“…… I remember you said once, Miss Li's kung fu is a killer, could it be that she was really a killer in the past? Now you want to redo your old business? ”
Gu Xi twisted his eyebrows, and for a moment, he ordered Wen Cheng in a low voice, "Pick a proper person and quietly go and see the two corpses."
It's not that she's going to be a killer, I'm afraid she's going to run into a killer. ”
Wen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect it!
"She wants to see you, not me, because you don't know her well, and it's easy for her to talk.
You should be careful in the future, this Miss Li has a delicate heart, nine bends and eighteen bends, and is very cunning. ”
Gu Xi seemed to be in a good mood.
Wen Cheng snorted, took a few steps out, called the little servant Baicheng, and told him to take two people to Drain Zeyuan to see the two corpses collected in the morning.
……………………
As soon as he had lunch, the dark horse returned to Fried Rice Lane.
"Patronizing and talking, I'm not full, get me a meatball." Before the black horse squatted next to Li Sangrou, he first said a word to the golden retriever.
The golden retriever ran into the kitchen, and then ran out quickly, took a bamboo basket full of meat buns, shrimp meatballs, steamed dumplings, hemp leaves, and stuffed it into the hands of the black horse.
"The tooth shop didn't open until the fifteenth day, so I went to Xiao Xiao's house, and his house was next to the tooth shop.
Xiao Xiao was startled when he heard me ask the killer, so I said what happened in the morning, saying that I am a person who loves to inquire about things, and if I don't inquire and understand, I can be sick.
Xiao Xiao said that he really didn't know about this, but there was a helper surnamed Du in Pig's Head Lane, and he heard that he knew the killer.
This Lao Du, I happen to know, once he asked Xiao Xiao to borrow money, and I happened to meet him and gave him a few big bucks.
I'll go find Lao Du. ”
The black horse stuffed a meatball into his mouth, took a few bites, and stretched his neck to swallow it.
"Lao Du, this person, what do you want, I have been a helper all my life, I have never been on the stage, and now I am old, I am lame again, and I can't eat if I am poor.
I invited him to the small shop at the mouth of Pig's Head Alley, ordered a table of meat dishes, and bought a few bottles of wine.
He said it all, but he didn't really know much.
He said, there are killers who take money to kill people! ”
The black horse took a bite of the mutton bun.
He said that when he was young, a killer fell ill and hired him to pick up medicine and buy food, and took care of him for a month or two.
He said that he was young at that time, so strange, and tried his best to ask a few more words.
He said that the killer said that there was a place for the killer to take over the business, and the prices were marked in rows.
It is said that the starting price is 1,000 taels.
He also said that if the first killer who took over the business did not kill the goods and died, this order would be put out again, and the price would have to be at least doubled, and the killer would die again, and the price would have to be doubled again.
Boss, our business is now at least two thousand taels! ”
The dark horse pointed two fingers at Li Sangrou, looking very excited and proud.
"Yesterday was two deaths, is this one death or two deaths?" The golden retriever was as excited as the black horse, and asked the black horse with his fingers up.
"I don't know this, Lao Du knows this, and the others must be his own nonsense.
If any killer dies, he will directly turn into a puddle of yellow water, and any killer will fly up with a sword to take people's heads, and he will be uninformed when he hears it. ”
The dark horse pouted with disdain.
Li Sangrou snorted, looked at the three of them, and concluded: "This matter has been investigated so far, and we know a lot.
First, those two people are killers;
Second, these killers do not accept the commissions of officials and do not kill officials.
So this matter should have nothing to do with the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Third, the killer has a place for the killer to meet with the order.
Such a place, if it is not eye-catching, is best in the city, tea houses and restaurants.
The tea shop is the best, regardless of the hour, in and out, that is, a cup of tea.
This teahouse or restaurant must be very good, but it is not the best and most eye-catching.
This makes it easier for both killers and wealthy principals.
We've got to find out this place. ”
After Li Sangrou finished speaking, she leaned back in her chair.
This day's kung fu, in this unfamiliar Jianle City, she was very satisfied with being able to find out these.
"And what's next? What shall we do? Door-to-door? There are seventy-two stores in this Lecheng Guangzheng store, and I don't know how many tea shops there are. "The dark horse is very worried.
This Jianle City is good for everything, but it's too big.
"Look at your stupidity! If you're still looking for it from house to house, then you might as well knock on the door and ask: Hey, your house is a killer store, right? The golden retriever pouted and despised the black horse.
"Can I be as stupid as you? You don't even know a word, what do you know?
Boss, what are we going to do? The dark horse returned to the golden retriever, looked at Li Sangrou and asked.
"Do what you want, which one has an empty seat at night?" Li Sangrou looked at the golden retriever and asked.
"Yuxian shop! All the way south. Closer than cheese Zhang's house! The golden retriever replied happily.
