Mrs. Zhao glared at her son fiercely, took a sip of tea, and then said, "You will get married in a few months, the Wu family is not an ordinary family, you are messing around outside, people can't get by, maybe you will have to quit the family business." In the past few months, you have stayed at home honestly, endure it, and when you become a parent, you will go out again, and your mother will not stop you. ”

Zhao De found a chair and sat down, a little proud, and said with a smile, "Mother, isn't the Wu family still counting on our Zhao family to give money to help Wu Shilang climb up, how can he withdraw from his family?" ”

Mrs. Zhao was really helpless against her son who couldn't support the wall in the mud, half begging, half warning, "No matter what, you have stopped me recently, making people unbearable, people must have a way to put you on the side, speaking of money, if the Wu family really gets a high position in the end, our Zhao family has made efforts after all, and when the time comes, we will also be the official eunuch's house, so as to save people from pointing their noses and saying that there is a copper smell." ”

Hearing that he could become an official and a half-job, Zhao De's eyes immediately lit up, "Is this true?" Mother, can I really make an official? ”

"Mother can still lie to you, you are the son-in-law of the Wu family, and they expect you to pay money, so naturally they will not treat you badly."

Zhao De was overjoyed, thinking that he would travel in official uniforms in the future, and he would be majestic, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were upturned, and his chin was unconsciously raised, as if he was already an official now.

Mrs. Zhao saw her son's appearance, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then got down to business, "Tonight is the appointed date, the killer you hired is the black assassin, it's time to come back and pay the errand, don't forget to take a good look and pay the money." ”

"It's the date tonight, and this half moon has passed so quickly." Zhao De slapped his head, indulged in the flowers, and the days passed quickly, "Mother, don't worry, my son will do this at night." ”

"Then you go down and sleep for a while, and feel better at night." Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her son, and told her a few words to pay attention to safety at night, so she drove Zhao De down to rest.

Zhao De also knew that this matter was important, so he really ate and slept honestly.

Knowing that the second watch day, the maid woke him up, he thought it was in the flower building in a half-dream, and he was about to start, and the maid was also a clever one, and shouted repeatedly, "Second young master, second young master, Mrs. told the young master not to miss the right thing!" ”

Hearing the word 'madam', Zhao De was completely sober, sat up with a flutter, and remembered that he was in his own house, and loudly called the long entourage waiting outside the door to come in, and the maid took the opportunity to run out.

Chang Sui carefully waited for the master to put on his clothes, and said, "Young master, it will be the third watch day soon, do you want to eat some porridge first to cushion your stomach." ”

Zhao De thought that he was about to see the head of his eldest brother, he was excited and afraid, and after a few circles around the house, he said, "Don't eat it, let's talk about it when I come back." ”

After speaking, he went to the small box in the bed, touched a dagger with jewels and a few silver tickets, stuffed them into his arms, and then said, "Let's go." ”

Chang Sui answered, but muttered in his heart, how high is his life-saving benefactor's kung fu, if he wants to do it, what use can this useless dagger be?

The master and servant, one after the other, went out of the house, it was the middle of the night, the street was very quiet, occasionally there were soldiers on duty patrol, they found a corner to hide, but also smoothly arrived at the alley that day, the two quietly touched in, left and right, no one came, Zhao De was a little anxious, kicked the long foot, and said, "You go to the teahouse to look for it, see why the person hasn't come, it won't be a liar." ”

Chang Suiji was reluctant, the last time he was put on his neck with a knife, he had already taken root in his heart, and he had nightmares from time to time, where was he willing to go to the teahouse to find it uncomfortable, but he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he had to answer in a low voice, and turned around to leave.

At this time, someone strode into the alley and asked from afar, "But who took the head of the Zhao family?" ”

Chang Sui took a closer look, and the one in black clothes, black masks, and holding a long knife was not his savior, so he immediately responded happily, "Engong, it's us." After speaking, he pointed to Zhao De beside him and said, "This is our young master." ”

The man in black nodded reluctantly, which was regarded as a salute, and then directly threw the package in his hand into Zhao De's arms.

Zhao De was still looking at him secretly, and he took something in his arms unexpectedly, so he reached out and touched it, feeling that it was a round thing, so he blurted out and asked, "What is this?" ”

The man in black sneered, "Have you forgotten what you bought with your money?" ”

"I spend money... Yes! Zhao De finally reacted, what he had in his hand was a human head, and he threw the package to the ground with a scream, and the black-clothed man laughed even more contemptuously, "You didn't say it before, this person knows martial arts, so the commission will increase by five hundred taels!" ”

Zhao De was about to speak, but when he saw that his right hand seemed to caress the handle of the knife inadvertently, he trembled even more with fright, and immediately said, "Here, we have inspected the goods, and we will give it immediately." ”

Only then did the man in black snort lightly, and he could be regarded as responding.

Zhao De immediately went to kick the long follower, and whispered, "You go, you go and see if that's it, if it's that person!"

Chang Sui is also scared of weak legs, although the pig's head and sheep's head, I have seen it on weekdays, but this is a human head, or the head of his original master, let him have great courage, this moment has become like a grain of rice.

Zhao De saw that Chang Sui didn't move, he kicked him hard on the buttocks, Chang Sui was in pain, and pounced forward, just before he fell down the head, he really had no choice, so he quietly clasped his hands together and muttered two sentences, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, the eldest young master is not strange, not strange." ”

Then he trembled and unwrapped the package, and as soon as he glanced at it, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the cloth towel again, and said, "Less... Young master, that's right, it's that person! ”

Zhao De was a little disbelieving, and asked again, "Have you seen clearly?" ”

Chang Sui nodded like pounding garlic, "I can see clearly, my eyes are still open, it's all blood!" ”

Zhao De was bold and wanted to step forward to check in person, but the man in black was already impatient, "Do you want to see the dawn?" I don't have time to accompany me, so I have to pay the money quickly, and I have to go out of the city. ”

Where did Zhao De dare to refute, for fear that he would be annoyed, the two knives even their master and servant were solved, and immediately took out the silver money, and handed it over, "Thank you for the knight's help, this is 1,600 taels, and if you have more, you should buy some wine and food for the knight and eat it on the way." ”

The man in black took it, stuffed it directly into his sleeve, turned around a few times and disappeared.

Zhao Dechang breathed a long sigh of relief, this person was on the side, he always felt a cold neck, and as soon as the person left, it was much better, "Take the cloth bag, let's go home." ”

With a bitter face, he stepped forward to pick up the cloth bag, carrying it with his long arms, as if there was something terrifying there, and he could jump out and bite him at any time, Zhao De knew that the big trouble in his heart had been eliminated at this time, but he became proud, and scolded, "Look at your guts, a dead man's head, what is so terrible." After saying that, he left slowly, and the chief cursed him countless times in his heart, so he had to follow.

The two went back to the mansion and entered the main room in the backyard, and as soon as Mrs. Zhao saw them, she immediately asked, "Is it done?" ”

Zhao De turned around and pointed to the package in his hand, and said with a smile, "With my help, things will naturally come to fruition." ”

Chang Sui also hurriedly flattered, "Madam, you don't know, that assassin saw that our second young master didn't have the slightest cowardice in his speech and demeanor, and he admired it very much." ”

Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, how could her son, who had always been timid, still have such courage?

She didn't pay much attention to this, and quickly said, "Open the cloth bag, I'll take a look." ”

The old woman, who was standing behind her, hurriedly said, "Madam, it depends on what he does with such stolen goods, and he will not have an appetite for dinner in the future." ”

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "This cheap breed is the most cunning, how can I rest assured if I don't see him die with my own eyes?" When the old woman heard this, she stopped holding back.

Chang Sui carefully put the cloth bag on the table, unwrapped the skin, pushed it forward again, and said with a smile, "Madam, please see." ”

Mrs. Zhao looked carefully, but her eyes were full of red and bloody things, and she couldn't see what the face looked like, so she said, "Palm lamp!"

The old woman immediately brought another candlestick over, and this time, several people saw clearly, this round thing, can be the size of a medium sea bowl, without hair and skin, carefully distinguish that side seems to have a nose and eyes, but no matter how you look at it, it does not look like a human being...

Mrs. Zhao's face immediately changed, and she asked sharply, "What is this?" ”

Zhao De hurriedly took two steps forward, he was also a little dumbfounded, and Chang Sui's face was so white that there was no trace of blood, sure enough, Zhao De turned around and gave him two slaps, and said angrily, "Just now, how did you check it?" ”

Where did Chang Sui dare to say, he was too scared to see it clearly, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and knelt down to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Zhao De was so angry that he gave him several more kicks, and then he held on to a glimmer of hope, and said, "Can this be that assassin who scalped that person?" ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to scold, the old woman replied, "Second Young Master, take a closer look, where can someone have such a sharp mouth?" Based on the old slave's guess, this is not a sheep's head, or a dog's head? ”

Zhao De didn't know if he was angry, or if he heard that this was not a human head, he was no longer afraid in his heart, so he actually stepped forward and grabbed the head and threw it on the ground, scolding, "What a bullshit assassin, you dare to lie to me!" ”

After speaking, seeing that Chang Sui was still kowtowing, he was even more annoyed, and stepped forward to give another good beating, "You blind slave, and you still call people kind, it turns out to be a liar, you say, isn't it, you discussed with him and cheated me out of my money together?" Three thousand taels, you hurry up and spit it out for me! ”

Chang Sui was kicked and rolled on the ground, begging for mercy, "Young master, the little one doesn't dare, the little one doesn't dare, the little one doesn't know..., no, I don't know that person is a liar..."

"Dare to cheat Young Master Ben's silver, it's really an ambitious leopard's guts, you get out of me, get out of the teahouse, tell everyone that the people of the Black Thorn are all liars, and if they don't do anything, I want them to have a bad reputation!"

The chief immediately got up and responded, "Yes, yes, young master, the little one will go!" ”
