Chapter 43: Confusion and Killing
Outside the small courtyard, Wu Yan tiptoed forward, and before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he only heard a voice from inside, "I'll come back in seven days, I just hope that I won't be allowed to run empty again." Stay, no need to send. Footsteps came towards the courtyard gate.
Wu Yan quickly turned around, and after running quickly along the alley for dozens of steps, he turned back instead, calming his breath and pretending to pass by here.
A person came out of the courtyard gate, this person was a little pale, with a long body, dressed in black, and walked towards Wu Gan.
The two got closer and closer, glanced at each other, and both did not say a word, and passed by by mistake. After taking five or six steps, Wu Yan secretly looked back, and a crow tattoo was faintly revealed on the man's arm when the man's sleeves waved.
As if sensing Wu Gan's eyes, the man's footsteps stagnated slightly. Wu Yan hurriedly turned his head and left unhurriedly. There was some inexplicable feeling in this man, which made Wu Gen vigilant.
Away from the courtyard, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Wu Yan came to the small courtyard again, and gently knocked on the somewhat tattered wooden door with many holes in the door panel.
Squeak, the door opened, "Who are you looking for?" A girl of seven or eight years old with shaggy hair opened the door and tilted her head to ask curiously.
"Aoki, little sister." Wu Yan smiled and handed over a sugar gourd.
The girl glanced at the sugar gourd, but didn't take it, took a few steps back, and suddenly turned her head and ran, shouting as she ran: "Brother Aoki, there is a flower shoot that deceives children." ”
"Where, where are the bad guys, Flowey." There was a commotion, and seven or eight half-sized children rushed out of the house, and came to the door with sticks in their hands, and protected the little girl behind them.
Wu Gan's smile was a little stiff, "I'm a friend of Aoki, you are the Thirteenth Taibao, this name is really thunderous, resounding through Dingyuan City, I came here today to say goodbye to the pier." He reached out and took out a hemp paper bag, which contained a handful of sugar gourds.
"I even know our name, but I have some discernment." A tiger-headed teenager turned his head and shouted, "Brother Aoki, someone is looking for you." ”
"Here we are." With the voice, Aoki walked out of the house, with an apron around his waist, apparently cooking dinner.
Seeing Wu Gan, he couldn't help but be stunned, but walked quickly to the front, waved his hand to let these children disperse, and said in a low voice viciously: "I actually touched here, the money was given to you, what else do you want to do." I warn you, if you want to beat the child, I will fight you even if I can't beat it. ”
Looking at the traces of rice paste on the other party's apron, Wu Yan knew that the food tonight was not very good, so he reached out and took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Aoki, "Buy some meat for the children, it's time to grow your body." ”
Seeing that the other party hesitated, he added, "This is for the children, not for you, and there is no other intention." These children have lost their parents, and I was born an orphan. ”
Aoki glanced at the silver and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll borrow you." Say, what's the matter, how can a ruthless person like you come to the door for no reason. ”
"It's okay, dare you go out drinking with me." Wu Yan looked at the other party provocatively, dealing with people like Aoki, please don't be as good as agitating generals.
"If you don't dare, wait until I'm done." Aoki turned his head and walked back into the house, and he actually cooked porridge again.
Wu Gen walked into the hall and looked at the furnishings, which were quite simple, just a large dining table.
In the room on the left, there is a large bunk, with a pile of bedding scattered around, which should be where the children sleep.
The room on the right was much cleaner, with a pipa hanging on the wall and a plum vase on the table by the window, in which an unknown flower was inserted. The flowers are bright, and it is clear that someone has changed the water from time to time.
A group of children were eating sugar gourds and chattering behind Wu Gan. They also saw that the relationship between this person and their brother Aoki was a little delicate, one was vigilant, and the other was also curious.
The larger one licked the sugar gourd in his hand and handed it to the smaller one, "Brother has eaten this thing, and I'm tired of eating it." "It's distressing to be sensible.
Aoki wiped his hands, got up and came out of the house, and glanced at Wu Yan with a complicated face, "Let's go." He turned around and shouted, "Eat early and rest, if I come back late, I will go to Da Zhuang tomorrow." ”
The two of them went out of the courtyard, without saying a word all the way, they found a dilapidated wine shop, wiped the dust on the table, and Wu Yan asked for a pot of wine and a plate of fennel beans.
After tasting a sip of wine, Wu Gen frowned, this wine is too sour, and the quality is really not Chad.
Aoki took a big sip, and after a long aftertaste, his face showed intoxication, and it took a long time before he took a breath.
"My name is Wu Gan, and I work in the school captain's mansion." Wu Gen went straight to the point, if he wanted to let go of the other party's vigilance, it was better to be calm.
Aoki was stunned and said with a wry smile, "If the adults find me, a rotten person who robs the streets, they won't come to arrest me." ”
"I was born as a bandit, and I didn't know where my parents were since I was a child." Wu Gan's face was calm.
Aoki raised his eyebrows, glanced at Wu Gan, and took another sip of wine greedily, "Say, there is something you want me to do." "This kind of public person finds himself, either to find out the news, or to let himself do some dirty work.
Wu Yan sighed, "It's really nothing, it's just that it is difficult for you to raise these children alone, and I think of my own background, so I want to help." ”
"I bought these younger brothers and sisters from Li Da's family, some of them are disabled, they are all children of families outside the city, some of them have been abducted here, some have been sold by their families, and they have been begging for a living in this city.
Some of them were beaten by the poles of Li Da's men because they were young and couldn't get money, and I couldn't stand it, so I paid some money to ransom them. came and went, but there were thirteen younger siblings. Because I was homeless, I took my surname, and my name ranged from Qingyi to Qingxi. Aoki looked out the window and said quietly.
Wu Gan's eyes moved slightly, and the man who looked a little ruthless on the other side had done a great good deed.
As the saying goes, every time you slaughter more dogs, demons and monsters are in the temple. It is really not easy for this man who fights the street to take in so many brothers and sisters who are not related by blood.
Although Aoki has a small section, compared to those high-ranking people who are sanctimonious, he has written a big word "person".
Wu Qian raised his glass, "Brother Aoki, I'm not as good as you, come, do it first as respect." He raised his head and drank it all. This person should be respected, and if you want to respect, you should drink it all first.
"By the way, who is the boss of Li Da." Watching Aoki drink his wine, Wu asked asked.
Aoki said angrily, "Li Da's family is a beggar in the north of the city, and he is in charge of all beggars. This person is a middle-aged man, ruthless, and his subordinates have gathered a group of people, and they have done bad things, and I don't know how many beggars have died at his hands over the years. He had many contacts with the government, and no one dared to touch him in the north of the city. Like us little gangsters, we have to be bullied by him every day. ”
"Oh, where does he live." Wu Yan raised his head and asked.
"What are you going to do?" Aoki said in surprise, turned his head and looked around, "This person has a lot of subordinates, even if you are from the school captain's mansion, I am afraid it will not be easy to move him." ”
"You don't have to worry about it, I'm just asking." Wu Qian played with the wine glass, noncommittal.
After hesitating for a moment, Aoki still told Wu Yan the address of Li Da's house.
The more the two talked, the more energetic they became, and they even drank a few jars in a row. It is estimated that this Aoki is reluctant to drink alcohol on weekdays, and the yellow soup is down, his face is red, and his speech is not good.
During this period, Wu Gen vaguely inquired about the alliance leader, but the other party intentionally or unintentionally avoided the past and didn't say a word.
The two chatted for a long time, and then they were reluctant to leave, but there was a taste of familiarity at first sight. Sure enough, wine is a man's matchmaker, and tea is Dr. Flower
At night, Wu Yan walked carefully on the street, touched the east of the city alone, and looked around for the mansion of Li Da's family.
Li Da is a native of the family, this person died of illness when his parents died when he was a child, and he was fighting on the street when he was a child.
Li Da is a big boss of the beggars, and his subordinates are in charge of hundreds of beggars, and gradually open casinos, pawn shops, kilns, etc., and everyone who makes money must intervene.
This person is also smart, knows that he doesn't live long by eating alone, and has a lot of contacts with Chinese nobles, and he is very generous.
In recent years, Li Da's ambition has become bigger and bigger, and he has moved around a lot with the rogues outside the city, plundering business travelers, buying land, and his family business has become more and more powerful.
Aoki said a smooth word, look at the official during the day, look at Li at night, Li Da is here to take his life. It can be said that in the underground world of Dingyuan City, Li Da is second to none.
Li Da's family has many industries in Baicheng Mansion, and there are dozens of mansions. It's just that a new concubine has recently been accepted, and this Li Da is a fan of the five mysteries, and for this purpose, he has purchased a house in the east of the city.
Wu Jian stood in front of Li Dadang's mansion and quietly looked at the surrounding movements. The two guards at the door had already hid in the porter for a drink, and there was silence all around.
Gently crossing the courtyard wall, avoiding the patrolling households, Wu Jian groped his way to the main house on tiptoe. This Li Da is also vigilant, a person who is mixed in the rivers and lakes has actually collected so many minions. Such a guard force is comparable to the school captain's mansion.
He breathed his breath and waited quietly in front of the main house for a while. Legend has it that a person who has been successful in martial arts can predict the signs of danger, Wu Gan does not know the strength of Li Da's master, so he does not dare to move, and he is ready to flee in time if the other party awakens.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the house. Wu Jian gently poked a hole in the window paper, and by the moonlight, there were two people lying in the room, snoring one high and one low. Taking out reed tubes of different thicknesses from the backpack behind him, Wu Yan picked them up.
It is said that he went in and cut things down, but Wu Jian had other ideas.
Li Da is in charge of this person, but he has done some too much, not to mention the anger of people and gods, at least it is difficult to redeem a hundred deaths. I don't know how many people have died under his hands over the years, especially when he saw the young beggars on the street, Wu Gan was not ready to let him die so cheaply. And if it is killed directly, it will inevitably be a little troublesome for the government to investigate at that time.
After meeting Xianjiang that day, he was played with by him like a child, which made Wu Jian interested in soul magic methods.
These days of practicing the trick of delusion, it made Wu Gen figure out some ways, which was confusing. It's just that his own Taoism is still shallow, and he can't let people enter directly, so he can only use some small means.
The ability is not good, the drug comes to make up, Wu Gen wants to use this method today.
The reed pipe slowly stretched out in front of the two people on the bed, and with a gentle blow, a white mist erupted and covered the door in front of them.
After a few more moments, the snoring in the room gradually subsided. Wu Jian gently pried open the door and walked to the bed.
Li Da is a strong man with a full beard, and there is a long scar on his forehead, and next to him should be his new woman.
Shaking his hand, the person on the bed did not react.
Wu Yan leaned over, pinched his five fingers together in the shape of a claw, and raised a few things in front of Li Da's master. He whispered, "The soul comes, the spirit rises." ”
Master Li opened his eyes, got up, and looked directly at Wu Gan. The pupils in Wu Gan's eyes shrank, and there was a hidden vortex slowly rotating, and after looking at it for a long time, it seemed that he would be immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
According to the Degree of Delusion, this technique is called Soul Confusion.
Wu Yan spoke softly, and every time he said a word, Li Da Dang repeated it. After a stick of incense, Wu Jian put Li Da on the bed and left quietly.
For several days, Wu Gen would go to Li Dadang's mansion every night to order something.
Seven days later, an explosive news came out of Dingyuan City, and Li Da was crazy.
In the past few days, Li Da has a haggard face, carrying a rag doll in his hand, and when he sees people, he drills into the pile, muttering: "I am guilty." ”
Gradually, his brothers stopped caring about him, and left him to mingle with a group of beggars.
Li Da is very harsh on these beggars on weekdays, and you can imagine how miserable his situation will be. Within a few days, there was not a single place on the body that was intact.
There are legends in the city that Li Da's family usually does too much evil, and he is attacked by powerful ghosts and suffers retribution.
One morning, Li Dadang was found dead in a pond in the north of the city, and when he fished it up, he was still holding the rag doll that had lost his head.
