Not all of the killer's tasks are as simple as Liu Xiwen's taking, and some of them may have taken their lives in order to complete the task, at least Liu Xiwen has not encountered such a task now.

One day, Liu Xiwen received a carrier pigeon from the second master, which was the first time in two years, and the second master asked Liu Xiwen to help him kill people again, and the target of the assassination this time was a big official.

The second master also knew that it was difficult, and gave Liu Xiwen enough silver tickets, which just made up for the money that Liu Xiwen had wasted by Xiao Yi's delay, and Liu Xiwen's mood instantly became extremely good.

The one to be assassinated is the new champion of the imperial court, the current court's Ministry of Rites squire, and the highest official position Liu Xiwen has assassinated so far.

It's just that this champion is a handsome little student from the portrait, what did he do to offend the second master, Liu Xiwen's curiosity came up, and she immediately set off for Baiyu Town near the imperial city.

Baiyu Town, which lives on the royal relatives living in the imperial city, is the richest town, and there are many officials patrolling this town, so Liu Xiwen should be cautious in this action.

It took about seven days for Liu Xiwen to arrive at Baiyu Town, which is famous for its wealth and porcelain, and almost all of the porcelain fired in Baiyu Town is high-quality porcelain, and nearly half of it is sent to the palace.

Jianghu people love to collect intelligence in the teahouses of every town, where there are many fish, everyone has them, and everything can be heard here, Liu Xiwen changed her appearance and appeared in the teahouse in the southwest of Baiyu Town.

"It seems to have been too peaceful lately." A table of big men sat together and started drinking during the day, Liu Xiwen sat with others, and behind him was this group of big men.

"This is Baiyu Town on the edge of the imperial city, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, who dares to cause trouble here, besides, there is a curfew here after nightfall, and it is very quiet."

Not only is there a curfew, but there are also more than 20 officials who take turns patrolling, and they will not let the murder happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven, otherwise everyone will not be able to eat and walk around.

"The person who was admitted to the top a few days ago seems to be from Xincheng." Liu Xiwen sat at the table and began to talk about the new champion, where he was, and how his family background.

Everyone has a lot of speculation about the life of this champion, but they all stop at guessing, and few people really know where the champion is so far.

Liu Xiwen sat in the morning until the teahouse closed, she didn't hear valuable information, she was a little lost, it seems that she can only sneak into the palace to check the details of our new champion.

This palace Liu Xiwen is the first time to enter, it is indeed heavily guarded, she stands on the roof of a restaurant, just can look at the entire palace, the brightly lit Li Palace, can see a group of fifteen people patrolling soldiers.

Liu Xiwen had already changed into her night clothes, and just as she was about to enter the palace lightly, she heard a cough.

"Girl, I advise you not to venture into the palace, the soldiers in this palace do not eat rice." It was already curfew, and there was an old beggar sitting by the wall, and from his angle, he could just see Liu Xiwen.

Liu Xiwen got down from the roof of the restaurant, stood in front of the old beggar, and half-squatted: "Grandpa, I saw you in the teahouse." ”

Just kidding, she sat in Chaluo all day, but she didn't sit there in vain, by the moonlight, Liu Xiwen saw the old beggar's face clearly, and confirmed that he had sat in the teahouse at noon today.

At this time, Liu Xiwen covered half of her face, showed her eyes, stared at the old beggar, and put her left hand on her waist, where a sharp dagger was hidden, and blood was seen when it was unsheathed.

"The girl really has a good memory, Lao Yu did go to that teahouse, and Lao Yu also saw the girl in the teahouse, and I know even more, the girl is asking about the new champion." The old beggar smiled a seemingly sincere smile, but it was actually full of calculations.

He picked up the beggar bowl on the ground, stretched it out in front of Liu Xiwen, and motioned for her to give Yin Liang, and if she gave enough, he told her about the new champion.

Liu Xiwen saw his intentions, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, and put them in the beggar's bowl: "Grandpa, if you can't give me a satisfactory information, I will send you to see Lord Yama in advance." ”

The old beggar's eyes lit up when he saw the silver ticket in the bowl, and he quickly put it away, leaning his back against the wall, as if he wanted to sink into the wall and not let Liu Xiwen have a chance to snatch the silver ticket away.

"The champion of the new department is the only surviving child of the Liu family who made a fortune selling salt in Xincheng, and the old man remembers that he should be born to the sixth lady." What the old beggar said made Liu Xiwen laugh out loud.

"Grandpa, I think you are old and confused, the seven ladies of the Liu family in Xincheng gave birth to daughters, where did they come from."

Liu Xiwen had heard her master mention the Liu family, and she had no impression, but she also remembered that the Liu family only had daughters and no sons.

"The sixth lady gave birth to a son, she deceived everyone, and asked the midwife to help her hide from the world, and the old man is the midwife's father-in-law." The old beggar's words made Liu Xiwen think that he was making it up blindly, and the left hand on his waist moved.

frightened the old beggar, and kowtowed to Liu Xiwen on the spot: "Girl, even if you give Lao Yu a hundred guts, Lao Yu will not dare to deceive you!" ”

Liu Xiwen thought for a while, it is true that this old beggar will not have the courage to deceive her, but everything is too coincidental, and let her know that the life experience of the new champion is too smooth and deceitful.

"Grandpa, we'll see you again." Liu Xiwen raised her left foot and tapped it on the ground, and left lightly.

Soon after she left, a figure came from the shadows, and the old beggar immediately kowtowed on the ground a few times when he saw this person: "Childe, I have done everything you have ordered, can you let me take the old woman home." ”

"I'll send you to her." Under the moonlight, the red blood seemed to turn black, and there was blood all over the place, and a string was shed.

It's just that two days later, Liu Xiwen got the latest bounty list, her amount skyrocketed, she was a little confused, what was going on, she didn't go to the task recently, but wandered around Baiyu Town.

"Two nights ago, an old beggar died in the back alley of the Yaoyue Restaurant, and the matter reached the king, who said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly."

In the teahouse, the latest information was brought again, Liu Xiwen's action of drinking tea stopped, two nights ago, she had seen the old beggar, but the old beggar died.

"I also heard that when the old beggar died, there was a string next to him, tsk, in the whole rivers and lakes, it seems that only the smiling killer kills people with the piano."

This kind of obvious framing made Liu Xiwen frown, the person who came was not good, the person who wanted her life this time seemed to want to lay out a big situation and invite her in.

She shouldn't have used the sound of the piano frequently to solve the assassination target in the first place, so that now everyone only thinks that on the rivers and lakes, only her smiling killer will use the sound of the piano to kill people.

It's just that Liu Xiwen won't leave Baiyu Town for the time being, and there is still half a month before the deadline given to her by the second master, and she will definitely come into contact with the new champion, so she can't kill him.
