Chapter 31: Persuasion and Surrender

The Shen Mansion is in a partial room, and the young man has not eaten for a day, and he is firmly tied to the stake at the moment. He tried to move his wrist, but found that it was in vain, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard! It's so tightly tied! ”

It was so dark in the room that he couldn't see his fingers, and it was night, and no one had bothered him all day.

There was a "squeak", the door moved slowly, and a young man in white walked in, holding a candlestick in his right hand, and the room was suddenly brightened up.

The young man looked him up and down for a moment and said, "What?" Figured out you're going to let me go? ”

Shen Yanzhi's answer was not what he asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

The boy wanted to have more backbone, but his mouth was no longer under the control of his brain, "Hungry." ”

"Then keep you hungry." Shen Yanzhi said lightly.

“… Why the hell are you here in the middle of the night? The boy pursed his lips, not angry.

Shen Yanzhi put the candlestick on the table, walked a few steps in the room casually, glanced around the room, and said, "Let's see how you are doing, and chat by the way." ”

This side house is uninhabited, it has not been cleaned for a long time, and the dust has accumulated a thick layer, Shen Yanzhi lowered his head and blew on the chair, and sat down, as if he really just came to chat with him.

The young man didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he didn't say anything.

Shen Yanzhi said to himself: "Seeing that you are young, why did you do this murderous sale?" ”

The young man still didn't speak, and he was still vividly reminded of being talked by that woman last night, and there were so many tricks in these people's words.

At this time, Shen Yanzhi stood up, took a few steps forward, walked behind the young man, and did something unexpected to him.

Shen Yanzhi untied the hemp rope that tied the young man.

"You?!" The boy had been tied up for a day, and now he finally had to loosen the tie, and he felt that his hands and feet were a little numb, and he shook his wrists.

"It's been a hard time all these years, right? At your age, ordinary children must be studying poetry and books hard to gain fame. If you are more talented and intelligent, you are already an official in the court, and you are pregnant with a good wife and child. Shen Yanzhi stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit.

"Humph! You high-ranking children, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. There was a deep look of disdain in the young man's eyes.

"You're wrong, I'm also born in a cold family." Shen Yanzhi corrected.

When the young man heard this, he looked left and right, a little unconvinced. "I think you're a big official, not like that."

Shen Yanzhi laughed at himself, "What kind of big official am I, but I was lucky enough to get a champion in the examination before I was able to become a minor official." What is your name? ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Ling Yunfeng." ”

Shen Yanzhi sighed, "This name is good, it sounds like a chivalrous man, but unfortunately he is a killer with blood on his hands." How old is it? ”

"Fifteen years old, my father's name." The young man said, the sadness on his face flashed, and was keenly captured by Shen Yanzhi.

"Then your father doesn't object to you being a killer?"

"My dad... My father was killed by the dog officer a long time ago! The boy mentioned this, and resentment appeared on his green face.

"Dog officer?"

"Those of you who are officials are naturally protected by officials. How do you know that the people have long been oppressed to the point of misery, and those dog officials have looted the people's fat and ointment, and disregarded people's lives, and the people can only endure it. Speaking of indignation, he slammed the table, and the dust was flying and fluttering.

Shen Yanzhi then asked, "Do you know who the official who killed your father was?" ”

The young man snorted coldly, "It's Fujimori from the county order of He County!" I only hate that I'm not good at learning, Fujimori has done too much over the years, and hired a master to protect him at a high price, I... I'm no match for that man! "He has been to assassinate the county commander more than once, and each time he has returned with a feather.

"Then you were forced to be a killer?"

The young man was unconsciously taken away by Shen Yanzhi, and almost answered all questions: "I only became a killer three years ago, just to not starve to death on the streets." He remembered that when he killed for the first time, he washed his hands all night, and his hands were all peeling, and he still felt that the viscous liquid was still on his hands, and he could even smell the strong smell of blood, which was disgusting.

Shen Yan's plan came to heart. "If you were given a chance to be a new person, would you do it? I can promise to avenge your father's murder. ”

A surprised look appeared on the boy's face, "You mean?" ”

"I mean, you don't have to be a killer, I think your kung fu is okay, give you a chance to be my bodyguard."

"You're not afraid I'll kill you? Are you willing to help me get revenge? He dared to use a killer who had assassinated him as a guard, and the boy was carefully discerning the truth of his words.

"Since I dare to use you, if you really kill me, I won't complain, I just think I don't know people clearly." Shen Yanzhi said calmly.

The young man thought about his life in Tibet for the past three years, but after a moment, he made a decision. "I want to be used by adults." After a pause, he continued: "My lord, I will give you the formula for your poison tonight." It's just..."

"Huh?" Seeing that there was doubt on his face, Shen Yanzhi asked.

"If the Pavilion Master knew that I had rebelled, I wouldn't have survived."

"Pavilion Master? But the famous killer organization on the rivers and lakes is the Gunsmoke Pavilion? ”

"Your Excellency knows?"

"I've heard a little. This killer organization is mysterious, and there is not much information found. ”

"That's right." Even though Ling Yunfeng had been in the Gunpowder Pavilion for three years and had taken on several missions, he had never seen what the pavilion master looked like, and he didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman, even if it was a companion who acted together, he was all masked.

Ling Yunfeng said: "There is no fixed place in the Gunpowder Pavilion, and the killers are hidden among the ordinary people. When there is a task, the pavilion master will send the branch hall master to contact. ”

No wonder, I can't find the news all the time, I see.

"I'm tired of a day, you go down to rest first, and I'll let Fu Lu arrange it for you. As for identity, you don't have to worry, I'll release the news that you're dead. And to give you a new identity, you pretend to be my sideman, with a slight modification. ”

The boy knelt down on one knee and was grateful in his heart: "Thank you, sir!" In the future, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses for adults, if you have two hearts, you will be hit by five thunders in the sky! ”

"Get up! I'll let Fu Lu take you to freshen up and rest. Shen Yanzhi gave a hand.

"Yes."

In the study, Shen Yanzhi stood in front of the bookcase, holding a pen in his right hand.

"Young Master." Fu Lu walked in.

"Scheduled?"

"Alright." Shen Yanzhi looked at Fu Lu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, "Say what you want to say." ”

"Can Ling Yunfeng believe it? Let him be your personal attendant. ”

Shen Yanzhi stopped his pen and put the pen on the inkstone, and wrote on the rice paper "The road is long and its cultivation is far away", and the pen walked the dragon and snake. I only heard him say casually: "Since I dare to use it, I am not afraid, and if it is used well, the effect cannot be underestimated, I have my own plans for this." ”

Shen Yanzhi handed a piece of paper to Fu Lu, "Grab the medicine according to this prescription and bring it to you." ”

"Yes." Fu Lu took the prescription and bowed to leave.
