Chapter 51: Master
"I don't need anyone to save me, that day in the Land Temple, if you hadn't stopped me, Zhu Yixiang would have died under my sword!"
Facing the crow's questioning, Wu Dayong sighed and said, "I stopped you from killing him a few days ago because he could find the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of military salaries!" β
"Do you have nothing but silver in your eyes?"
The sword on the neck was a little closer, and Wu Dayong's tone softened, "Of course not, I will personally kill the unfortunate bastard in Zhu Yixiang and avenge the green peony!" As he spoke, he dodged the crow's blade little by little, retreated to safety, and let out a long breath.
When Boss Xiao heard that it was related to money, a golden light flashed in his two eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the silver?" β
"Silver?" As soon as he talked about the silver, Wu Dayong was simply depressed to death, do you want to say that Zhu Yixiang has been found? I guess I've found it! But you can't let a few of them rob the Yinzhuang ticket number! waved his hand and said: "Don't think about those silver, just think that we have no fate with those silver!" β
Hearing him say this, Boss Xiao was deflated again, "So you have no money?" So what are you waiting for, don't you have a chance to do it when you are mixed in the brocade guard? Then Zhu Yixiang must not have any precautions against you, right? β
"I want to too, but I have a hunch that Zhu Yixiang can find Qianmian Langjun, and now is not the time to kill him! Zhu Yixiang is hateful, but judging from what he did, it is not a great crime, at most he is a ruthless scumbag, but the thousand-faced Langjun and we are not the same hatred! "Wu Da hated not to bite the name 'Thousand Faces Langjun' and swallow it.
Xiao Tong's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile: "Brother Wu, we don't know anything about that thousand-faced Langjun, we have been looking for him for so many years and have no clues, so you have so much confidence in Zhu Yixiang?" β
Wu Dayong waved away his "useless" fan and said confidently: "Look at it, I think it shouldn't take long!" β
After burying the green peony, when Zhu Yixiang returned to the county office, the rooster had already begun to crow, he was covered with dust, tired, even washing was saved, wrapped in the quilt and fell asleep, he woke up hungry, and it was already afternoon when he woke up.
Now most of the people in the county government have been dispatched, only a few servants are left, Zhu Yixiang went to the kitchen to find food, passed by Lu Yan's room on the way, and saw the master of the county government coming over. The master is a thin scholar, but he has a sour smell of officialdom mixed with it, which is a bit of a scum! When he saw Zhu Yixiang, he greeted him with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi, are you awake?" β
Zhu Yixiang responded to him with a smile, and saw that the master seemed to come out of Lu Yan's room, so he casually asked, "Hey, master, what are you doing in Lu Qianhu's room?" β
The master said: "This is not next to the big pit where Lu Qianhu and the county master buried their bodies outside the city, new clues were found there, and there were not enough people around, so they ordered me to pick up something!" As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll from his left sleeve.
Zhu Yixiang felt something strange, but he couldn't say it, so he took the painting and opened it to take a look, "Isn't this the painting of Xu Wei's "Melantu", why is he still holding on to this?" Did Lu Qianhu find out something, let you take this painting! β
The master smiled kindly, and said respectfully: "This villain doesn't know!" β
Zhu Yixiang glanced at his mouth, and handed the scroll back to the master, who took the painting and said, "If you have nothing to do with Zhu Gongzi, then I will send the painting to Lu Qianhu!" β
Zhu Yixiang waved his hand: "Go, go, go!" What can I do? He just doesn't have to make any moths! The robber who robbed the army hadn't caught it yet, and he had to hold Xu Wei and not let go! Then he walked in the direction of the kitchen.
After walking a few steps, I still felt that something was wrong, this feeling was very subtle, like a calm lake where the wind suddenly blew and rippled, but the trees by the lake did not move at all.
He subconsciously looked back at the master's back, only to see the master walking out in a hurry, while tucking the painting into his left sleeve and hiding it.
Left sleeve?
A light flashed in Zhu Yixiang's mind, this master's hand holding the painting is his right hand, if he remembers correctly, the master should be left-handed! He suddenly thought of the male corpse found in the back street of the county government with the face and hands stripped off.
From the point of view of body type, the male corpse is very similar to this master, and all the body characteristics of the male corpse are consistent with the master, but there was a living master standing in front of everyone at that time, no one would think that the dead body was the master, now think about it, peeling off the skin on the face is to cover up the identity of the deceased, peeling off the skin on the hand is to cover up the characteristics of the male corpse is a left-handed person, it is very likely that the male corpse lying in the morgue is the county master, so this person ......
"Master, wait a minute, I remember that I do have something for you to convey to Lu Qianhu!" Zhu Yixiang opened his mouth and stopped the master, and when he reacted, a wave of fear surged in his heart, this person in front of him was not a good person, thinking about the male corpse that had been skinned and skinned, he subconsciously stepped back, wanting to stay away from this "master" as much as possible.
The master paused, turned around and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi has something I need to convey?" β
This person, whether it is facial features or expression, and even the tone of his speech is exactly the same as that of the county master, Zhu Yixiang only felt that his scalp was tight, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he looked around, now there is no one around at all, he is a bare-handed battle scumbag, if he has a hard time with this "master", it is simply to go to Huangquan Road to chase the green peony, although Zhu Yixiang thinks that he is reluctant to be a beautiful green peony, but he is more willing to spare his life, and he will never dare to expose the false identity of this "master" in this situation. A smile squeezed out of his stiff face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I just remembered that there is something that needs to be handed over to Lord Qianhu, since you happen to be over, master, why don't you help me bring it over!" β
"Okay, if there's anything Zhu Gongzi, you just ask!" The master still smiled gently.
"Well, but, but the thing is in my room, master, you wait for me here for a while, I'll get it!" Saying that, Zhu Yixiang retreated a little bit, retreated to the corner of the corridor, glanced back at the master, and saw that he was still waiting in place with a smile on his face. Turning the corridor, Zhu Yixiang couldn't keep calm anymore, he ran away, a county government office of Nuoda, he couldn't see a few people, he rushed into the fast squad in a panic, pushed open the door and only saw two old officials shaking dice and drinking, drunk and drunk, Zhu Yixiang hurriedly asked: "What about the others?" β
A drunken old servant said: "The master said that new clues were found in the big pit outside the city, and the county magistrate took them all over, leaving the two of us useless to watch the yamen, Zhu Gongzi, are you what's the matter?" β
Hearing this, Zhu Yixiang seemed to hear a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his brain was "buzz~", and the six gods in a panic were gone! At this critical time, the county government is actually empty! He asked again: "Is there anyone else in the county government who can be used now?" β
The drunken servant replied: "The servant has gone out or something, Zhu Gongzi, if it's not a big deal, you can go and ask the aunt to see if the people in the kitchen are idle to help you do it!" β
Now that Zhu Yixiang has the heart to die, I'll go for it! Now the old, weak, sick and disabled in the county government are all together, enough for the "master" to kill a wave! Just now, Zhu Yixiang was still thinking about where to find someone to catch the imposter master, but now that he reacted, he felt that it was more important to escape at this time, so he no longer paid attention to these two drunken old officials, turned around and ran to the gate of the county office, and if he ran out of the county office, he might be able to live, and if he couldn't escape, he would die!
But he didn't run two steps, and he saw that the "master" was standing on his way, still looking at him with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yixiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a strong spirit: "Master, master, you, why did you come here?" Didn't I leave you where you were and wait for me? β
The master stroked a few goatees on his chin, looked at Zhu Yixiang with a pair of small eyes shining with cold light, and slowly walked towards him. said: "I just want to come over and remind Zhu Gongzi that your room is not here, you are going in the wrong direction!" β
Seeing the master walking towards him, Zhu Yixiang was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, "No, no, don't you come here, master, aren't you going out, go quickly, I'll treat it as if I didn't see anything...... This meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, if you go to yours, I should not see it, our well water does not interfere with the river water, you spare my life!"
The smile on the master's face suddenly became very weird, probably because this face was fake, and it looked very incongruous at this time. "If you really didn't know anything just now, I could have let you go, but it's too late! If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being too smart, smart people don't live long! β
Seeing that the master was about to come up, Zhu Yixiang turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Help, helpβmurderβ"
Don't look at Zhu Yixiang's appearance of a weak scholar, he is still sick at this time, but when he escapes, he runs faster than a rabbit, if it weren't for the fact that he runs on the ground completely on the frequency of two feet, he really thinks that he has practiced some light skills, and he went out a few feet in the blink of an eye, the "master" didn't expect Zhu Yixiang to be so fast, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, but then the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of ruthlessness, raised his legs and chased after him, and it seemed that only a few traces of him could be seen in the air.
