Chapter 31: Changes
The addition of Ding Leng undoubtedly raised the overall strength of Shura Hall to a higher level.
Gold, silver, jewelry, and other things outside the body can be earned in a way, and only talents are difficult to buy. With a sincere brother by his side, Shangguan Xiu is even more excited than earning gold and silver.
Next, he told Ding Leng about the current situation of Shura Hall, and he was also blunt about what Shura Hall was currently doing for Tang Yu.
Ding Leng originally thought that Shura Hall was formed by Shangguan Xiu and Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu on a whim, but he didn't expect that there was also the background of the second prince.
Shangguan Xiu finally said: "Right now, our first target is Zhou Qian of the Inner History Mansion, this is the first report card we handed over to the second prince, we must do a good job, and after we have done Zhou Qian, we will carefully study the matter of the Capture the Flag Competition." ”
"No problem, Brother Xiu!" Ding Leng and Luo Ren agreed simply.
Two days later, night.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Chunxiang Building at the junction of Shangjing South City and Dongcheng, a well-known Qinglou in Shangjing.
During this time, Zhou Qian would come to Chunxianglou to report almost every night, stay for a few hours, and never go home until the early hours of the morning.
Tonight, Zhou Qian, as usual, came to Chunxiang Building with three personal entourage.
Coming out of the carriage, a young man in Chunxiang Building immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Lord Zhou, why did you come, the girl is in a hurry, hurry up, please inside!"
The shopkeeper saddled in front of and behind the horse, Zhou Qian bared out a mouthful of buckteeth, smiled, took out a few copper plates from his arms, threw them into the young man's arms, shook his fat body, and walked into the Chunxiang Building.
"Is he Zhou Qian?" In the teahouse opposite Chunxiang Building, there were three people sitting by the window, it was Shangguan Xiu, Luo Ren and Cao Lei.
Cao Lei nodded and replied in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, it's him." ”
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a slow sip of tea.
In a ** township like Chunxianglou, if you don't consume a few taels of silver a night, how can people let you go?
However, at that time, the monthly salary of the six-grade officials was only ten stones, which was exchanged for silver, that is, five taels. Zhou Qian came to visit Chunxianglou every day, where did his money come from?
After drinking a pot of tea, Shangguan Xiu felt that the time was almost there, and he nodded to Luo Ren and Cao Lei at the same table.
The two of them understood, and they both stood up and walked out of the teahouse together.
When they got outside, they took off the wine jug hanging from their waists, pulled out the lid of the jug, drank a large sip of wine each, and then sprinkled the wine in the jug on themselves, and after finishing it, they threw the wine jug aside and walked into the gate of Chunxiang Building.
"Two guest officers, please ...... inside" Seeing that a guest came to the door, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward, nodded and waved to the two of them.
"Get out!" Cao Lei pretended to be drunk and roared at the young man, while also spraying his face with the smell of alcohol.
The young man frowned at him, he hated such a guest the most in the store, he smiled dryly, subconsciously took a few steps back, and still said: "Please inside!
"Please, please, please, you!" Cao Lei scolded and waved his arm, pushed the shopkeeper away, and then walked past the shopkeeper with Luo Ren swaggeringly.
The young man's face was ugly, and he glared at them both fiercely from behind......
Luo Ren and Cao Lei walked into the hall, and as soon as they stood still, an old bustard in his early thirties walked over with a twist on the waist of the water snake, and asked with a smile: "Two guest officers, are you drinking in the hall or booking a private room?"
Seeing the old bustard, Luo Ren stretched out his hand, grabbed her arm, and said with a choking smell of wine: "We are here to find the girl Yiniang, bustard, where is the Yiniang now, you take us to find her!"
The old bustard was stunned for a moment, then giggled, and said: "Guest officer, it's really unfortunate today, the girl has been taken over by an adult, two guest officers, I will arrange two younger and more beautiful girls for the two of you!" As he spoke, the old bustard shook his handkerchief and wanted to beckon the girl upstairs to come down to pick up the guest.
Luo Ren glared at him, grabbed the hand of the old bustard's arm and turned it back, and said in a deep voice: "Are you too old to be an uncle?" While speaking, he grabbed several silver ingots from his arms, shook them in front of the old bustard, and said proudly: "Tell you, the uncle has silver, and today the uncle is going to find the artist girl, you hurry up and show me the way!"
The old bustard waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, there are already guests in the Yi Niang house, I will take you there now, this ...... It's not in accordance with the rules......"
"Don't be verbose, you just lead the way!" Luo Ren suddenly strengthened his palm as he spoke.
The bustard felt as if his arms were about to be cut off, and he couldn't help but scream in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Tap, tap, I'll take you. "You are looking for death by yourself, if you have to go to Tai Sui's head to break ground, I can't control you. The old bustard muttered in his heart.
The old bustard took Luo Ren and Cao Lei, who were full of alcohol, up to the second floor and stopped in front of a door with a Yiniang door number.
There were two men in green clothes standing at the door of the room, one tall and one short, the two first looked at Luo Ren and Cao Lei, and then asked the old bustard in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"These two guest officers insisted that I bring them to find Yi Niang, but they didn't listen to any persuasion, you see, my arms were all scratched by them. The bustard pulled the cuffs up, revealing the scratches on his wrists.
The two big men in Tsing Yi stared at Luo Ren and Cao Lei, and said coldly: "Tonight, the Yiniang girl has been taken over by my family, if you want to find the Yiniang girl, let's come back another day!"
"Another day, which day, will it be changed on the day of your father's death?" Cao Lei tilted his head, turned one leg upside down, and put on a posture of a little ruffian who was not convinced.
Hearing his words, the faces of the two men in Tsing Yi sank together. One of them said in a deep voice, "Boy, you'd better clean your mouth for me!"
"I think you're fucking looking for a fight, right?!" Cao Lei blushed and grabbed the other party's shirt with a thick neck.
At this time, a little maid passed by with a tray, Luo Ren reached out and grabbed the wine jug on the tray, poured a large sip of wine into the spout, and then slammed the wine jug in his hand on the ground, yelling: "If you don't get out of the way, Lao Tzu will be welcome!"
Just when the two big men in Tsing Yi couldn't help but want to make a move, they heard a deep and dissatisfied question from inside the door: "Zhou Man, Zhou Feng, what are you arguing about outside?"
"Back to my lord, there are two drunks who have to find the girl Yiniang. ”
"I don't know if Yi Niang has been taken over by the official tonight? Hurry up and send them away, don't spoil the official's Yaxing!"
"Yes, sir. Zhou Man and Zhou Feng's two servants agreed, each grabbed one of Luo Ren and Cao Lei's arms, and said with an unkind face: "Friend, let's go downstairs to talk!" As they spoke, the two pulled Luo Ren and Cao Lei and walked downstairs without saying anything.
Out of the gate of Chunxiang Building, when he got outside, Zhou Man and Zhou Feng finally let go of the arms of the two of them, but then the two of them each kicked out and kicked on the chests of Luo Ren and Cao Lei.
They couldn't stand, and they both fell to the ground, one in front of the other.
Cao Lei covered his chest with his hands, got up from the ground, raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Man and Zhou Feng angrily, and scolded: "I fuck your mother, you dare to beat me?"
"It's light to hit you!" Zhou Man and Zhou Feng stepped forward and punched him.
Luo Ren and Cao Lei were not to be outdone, roared angrily, and fought with Zhou Man and Zhou Feng.
The four of them were all spiritual cultivators, but none of them used spiritual martial arts, and they scuffled outside the Qinglou, and after only a while, there was a large circle of people around them.
People craned their necks and stopped to watch the excitement.
At this moment, a young man dressed exactly like Zhou Man and Zhou Feng slipped into Chunxiang Building along the edge of the crowd without revealing anything.
As the men were all watching the bustle outside, no one paid attention to the young man who had quietly come in as a servant.
The young man walked through the hall and walked up to the second floor.
As he lowered his head upstairs, the muscles of his face suddenly trembled violently, and the shape of his facial features not only changed, but also shifted rapidly.
When he raised his head again, his originally handsome face was gone, but replaced by another face, exactly the same as Zhou Man's.
The two of them were similar in figure and dressed in the same way, and now even their faces seemed to be carved out of a mold, and they couldn't tell that they were two people at all.
The young man went up to the second floor, looked left and right, and saw a little maid not far away cleaning the broken wine jug on the floor.
When he came to the little girl, he turned his head to take a look, and saw that the door next to him was the door number of Yi Niang.
He narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, tapped the door twice, and pushed it open and walked in.
At this time, there were three people in the house, two men and one woman. A middle-aged man with a fat body and buck teeth and a beautiful young woman in her early twenties were sitting at a round table drinking each other, while a tall man in Tsing Yi stood and waited.
As he came in, the middle-aged man glanced at him, and then his eyes fell back to the young girl beside him, he hugged the young girl's fragrant shoulder with a lewd smile, kept putting his hands up and down, and asked absentmindedly: "Zhou Man, did you send those two drunks away?"
'Zhou Man' frowned and said, "My lord, you may be in trouble." He even spoke in the same voice as Zhou Man.
"What's the trouble?" Zhou Qian asked disapprerovingly.
"This ......" Zhou Man deliberately hesitated for a moment, looking at the young girl beside Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian glanced at him and said impatiently: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Zhou Man stepped forward, bent down, approached Zhou Qian, and whispered in his ear: "Those two people have the waist card of the Song Mansion on them, and they seem to be the servants of Lord Song." ”
"Lord Song, which Lord Song?" Zhou Qian's face sank and he said with a frown.
"Lord Song Sheng, Lord Song!"
"Huh?" Hearing Song Sheng's name, Zhou Qian and the big man in Tsing Yi next to him had the same face, Song Sheng was the head of the Inner History Mansion, and Zhou Qian was just a six-grade discussion in the Inner History Mansion, and his identities were very different, offending Song Sheng, so what was it?
"You...... Did you read that right?" Zhou Qian subconsciously stood up.
"That's right!" Zhou Man nodded firmly.
"Oops, this is a big stab, why didn't you ask clearly before you started?!" Zhou Qian was so anxious that he rubbed his hands again and again, the fat on his face trembled suddenly, and in this moment's work, a layer of cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
"Adults don't need to panic, if you're afraid of leaving trouble, it's a big deal to kill people and kill people!" As he spoke, Zhou Man pulled out the cross-knife under his ribs, turned around and walked out.
Zhou Qian almost fainted, he screamed, "Come back!
The big man in green clothes who was waiting by the side chased after Zhou Man, stretched out his hand to press his shoulder, and said urgently: "Aman, are you crazy? You dare to kill even Lord Song's domestic servant......
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Man suddenly turned back, and the saber in his hand stabbed him viciously in the lower abdomen.
