Chapter 202: The Maid and the Merchant

Fluttershy seems to see something black in Chen Xi's hand, and when she tries to see it clearly, she finds that Chen Xi has an extra black folding fan in her hand. The fan is pure black with only a small red plum blossom pattern on it. Fluttershy subconsciously rubs her eyes, then leads Chen Xi into a room on the third floor.

This room is predominantly purple.

The curtains are purple and the bed circumference is purple. The furnishings are simple but not shabby. Not far from the red candle, a woman in a long purple dress sat upright on a round stool, holding a pipa in her arms, as if she was tuning with her head down. When Chen Xi entered the door, she lifted it up, and then hurriedly got up and saluted: "The slave has seen the son." ”

Chen Xi gestured slightly, his gaze deliberately not on her, but on the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around her. Sure enough, Chen Xi saw on the wall the authentic handiwork of the merry scholar Chu Fengliu, who was known as the iron painting silver hook. Chu Fengliu's words were already worth a thousand taels of silver a few years ago, and now they are naturally higher.

There are not many living calligraphers who can write a few characters and sell them for this price.

"I heard that Childe likes to write?"

Miss Moxiang asked, getting up.

It looks like she's eighteen or nineteen years old, and although she's pretty good-looking, she's only in the middle and upper-middle. However, her movements are soft, and her voice is also soft, no matter what the movement is, it seems so soothing and comfortable to look at. Her face was a little rounder, so there was a little more playfulness in the quiet.

"I don't like it. ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "But I like to watch others write...... My own words are too ugly, and I'm afraid of ruining the good articles I got by chance. ”

"Fluttershy, grinding. ”

Miss Moxiang commanded, walked slowly to the table, spread out the paper, and pressed it.

"What does Childe write?"

"Pingjiang ......"

Chen Xi said these two words and paused deliberately.

"The shadow of the full moon in the Pingjiang River, the waves are long and the gold is long. ”

After a pause, Chen Xi finished speaking.

He kept staring at Miss Moxiang's hand, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

There was not the slightest abnormality in her movements, and it was still so soothing. After Fluttershy finished grinding the ink, she looked at Chen Xi and asked, "What pen do you use?"

It seems that there is a lack of water, and his voice is a little dry.

Chen Xi smiled: "Feel free." ”

Miss Moxiang pondered for a while and then said, "Let's use an inch." ”

The pen is good-looking, it should have just been repaired, and it looks unique in her slender and white hands. After moistening the pen, she raised her wrist lightly, and then put down the pen and wrote. The words are written extremely quickly and in one go. Such a weak woman, writing in an inch of letters, actually wrote a little vigorous.

"Good word. ”

Chen Xi praised.

He took a bead from his pouch and placed it on the table.

"Childe doesn't have to pay extra. ”

Miss Moxiang hurriedly said.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Look at the words and know the people, thank you." ”

He put down the beads and turned to leave.

Murphy pauses for a moment, then looks at Fluttershy. Fluttershy is also at a loss, wondering why this guest is so strange. When I looked back at Chen Xi, I couldn't even see my back. Miss Moxiang looked at the beads, and then at the words she had just finished, and couldn't help but mutter, "Why is it a strange person again." ”

Neither of them understood what Chen Xi meant by looking at words and knowing people.

After Chen Xi left the Light Red Mansion, he returned to his small courtyard. In the courtyard, there were many guests who came to visit. Chen Xi came in through the back door, and then entered the room directly through the back window. The entire front yard was full of people, gathering in twos and threes to gossip.

"Master, did you find out something?"

Meow hurriedly came over and asked.

Chen Xi nodded, found a pen and paper and wrote a line of words for Meow to read: "Let Ao Qian send someone to carefully stare at Moxiang's personal maid Fluttershy." ”

Meow nodded and quickly left.

......

......

Chen Tianji's face was a little pale, and there was a slight anger in his eyes when he looked at the man in front of him: "When I came to Tianshu City with you, you said that you would definitely give our two brothers a bright future." But now, my brother's death is unknown, and I haven't been able to find out who did it, and I'm stuck in that shabby inn, waiting for a mission to come in. But after doing so many things and killing so many people, I haven't even seen the face of King Pingjiang!"

It was a small grove, less than ten miles away from the Light Red Mansion. After coming out of the Light Red Mansion, Chen Tianji went directly here.

In front of him was Qiu Xin'an.

"What are you anxious about?"

Qiu Xin'an looked at him and said, "Don't talk about you, I haven't seen His Royal Highness the King of Pingjiang until now. But it's almost there, and King Pingjiang already knows what you've been doing lately. If nothing else, it won't be long before you meet him. You should believe in one thing, what King Pingjiang needs most now is a fresh face like you and me to do things. The forces of each family are testing each other, and basically the strength that is hidden on the surface or not deep enough is carefully looked at by others. ”

"So, there is a lot to be done with fresh faces like you and me. ”

Qiu Xin'an said: "Kill these two people again, and after you kill them, I guarantee that you will meet King Pingjiang." ”

Chen Tian was slightly angry: "You keep saying that! I don't want to get anything rich now, I just want to find out who killed my brother!"

Qiu Xin'an said: "It's not that there is no clue. ”

He stepped aside and sat down: "Now you and I both know that just before Chen Diji died, that kid named Chen Xi appeared on Seventeen Streets. This is no coincidence...... Chen Diji once suspected that Chen Xi was Chen Qianran's son, if this was the case, Chen Diji should not be wrong to die at the hands of Chen Xi. ”

Chen Tianji said: "Then I'll kill him first!"

Qiu Xin'an said: "Of course you have to kill! But ...... You go and get rid of these two first. Once you're done, I'll help you find that kid and slaughter him neatly. ”

"I don't understand!"

Chen Tianji said: "These days, I have been killing those little people who are not in the stream. Up to now, there has not been a single person in the Spirit Mountain Realm. What is really of great use to such a person? Kill or not, can such a little person still be able to influence the situation?"

"Yes!"

Qiu Xin'an said firmly: "You think too shallowly, although these little people are inconspicuous, their positions are very important." For example, among the several chroniclers of the household office, no one knows better than them how many things are in the household office. As long as they die and the accounts are ruined, when the time comes, the king of Pingjiang will arrange for someone to come in and take over, and the things in the household office will not be used casually? For example, how many soldiers are available in Tianshu City? How are these soldiers and horses arranged? These things, the little people in key positions know better. ”

Chen Tian was extremely reluctant to say anything more on this topic, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't lie to me again, after I kill these two people, you don't have to worry about me anymore, and I don't need your help, just kill a kid who breaks the void." After killing him, I will leave Tianshu City. I've had enough of this place, those so-called big people are all on top, do you think they can really look up to us?"

Qiu Xin'an persuaded: "You don't care what attitude those big people have, because they stand tall enough to have that qualification." When you make more and more merits and are reused by King Pingjiang, then sooner or later you will reach the height of those people, and sooner or later you will be able to point at their noses and scold people. ”

Chen Tianji sighed, and then asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"

Qiu Xin'an looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "There is an extremely mysterious organization under the command of King Pingjiang, and I now know that this organization is called Crow, and it is a group of terrifying people...... No, they can't be counted as people. Not long ago, the head of the Himi Dao under the King of Pingjiang took me to that organization and asked me to be responsible for delivering the news in the future. This organization is the killer weapon of King Pingjiang, and I am already very close to the core. You believe me, as long as I get into that inner circle, I can bring you in too. ”

"I'm not rare. ”

Chen Tianji said: "I just want to avenge my brother!"

"Yes!"

Qiu Xin'an said: "If you kill those two people, you will kill Chen Xi." The relationship between Chen Xi and Liu Xichen has angered King Pingjiang. Kill this Chen Xi, and King Pingjiang will naturally have a good impression of you. Mo said that Chen Xi is still the biggest suspect of killing Chen Diji, even if he doesn't, it is a good thing for you to kill him. ”

Chen Tianji nodded, "By the way, what is the identity of the little Fluttershy who is responsible for contacting me?"

Qiu Xin'an said, "She's not Fluttershy, I killed Fluttershy when you were in that inn." That Fluttershy is one of King Pingjiang's men, and she's in charge of delivering messages to you. All you have to do is remember that Fluttershy reminds you what to listen to, and you have to pay attention to the third word of each line of the lyrics, which is what you're going to kill. ”

Chen Tianji hummed and turned to leave.

......

......

West Side

The small courtyard that Chen Xi bought.

Ao Qian glanced at the merchant who was shrunk on the ground and trembled, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He walked over and squatted down in front of the merchant, and asked in a cold tone, "With your cultivation, how long do you think you can last?" You are just an errand runner, and no one will avenge you for your death. When you die, the person who arranged for you to do things will choose someone else to replace you. You're like an ant, and no one cares when you die. But you can not die, as long as you say it, I can arrange for you to leave Tianshu City. ”

Seeing a trace of hesitation flashing in the merchant's eyes, Ao Qian continued: "I know that you are doing things for King Pingjiang, and I am doing things for King Anyang. As long as you say it, with the strength of King Anyang, won't it be able to keep you?"

The merchant hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head: "No!

Ao Qian sighed: "Then it's no wonder that I ...... Did you know there's a place called Blue Star City? It's a place of exile. Do you know how the people of Blue Star City extort confessions when they catch the enemy?"

Ao Qian had an extra knife in his hand and shook it in front of the merchant: "Peel off the human skin alive to ensure that the whole skin of the person who is skinned will be peeled off and the person will not die." Can you imagine that kind of scene? Bloody people, in pain, can't die for a while. After peeling the skin, it will sprinkle honey on him, which will attract ants to bite ......"

Ao Qian's knife was placed on the merchant's finger: "Start peeling from here, I will too, but my craftsmanship is not very good." Others can peel the skin in an hour, but it may take me a day, slowly cutting it one by one. ”

The merchant screamed in fright, his eyes full of fear.

"Lian...... Beat the rattle twelve times in a row, three times. ”

The merchant couldn't bear the pressure but still said: "This means that there is something to do, and then the old man will go to the Light Red Mansion to find Miss Moxiang and take the task to kill people." ”

Ao Qian nodded: "Miss Moxiang is the person of the King of Pingjiang?"

The merchant shook his head: "I don't know...... Every time, it was Fluttershy, the maid next to Miss Moxiang, and as long as she hung a kite in the window, I would go to the inn when I saw it from afar. ”

Ao Qian's face changed slightly: "It turned out that it wasn't her, but her ......"

The knife in his hand turned and cut the merchant's throat: "I don't actually know how to peel the skin...... But I can't help but kill you. ”

He looked at the figure of the merchant, turned around and looked at his subordinates for a while, and chose a person with a similar figure: "Follow the appearance of this merchant, and go back to the street where the light red mansion is located." ”

Ao Qian took a deep breath: "Chen Tianji...... Finally, there are some clues. ”
