Chapter 213: Petition for Nomination

Zhao Rang's heart tightened, this is a master's office, and his methods are ruthless, and he will never drag the mud and water.

Of course, this move is to conceal the identity of the person behind the scenes, for fear that Zhao Rang will ask the reason from the mouth of the surviving strong man.

However, Zhao Rang had just arrived in Zhenhai City, and he had only eaten breakfast, so he should have not made an enemy yet.

If these people are coming for him, it can only mean that someone has judged his identity from the items in his lost baggage, and then mobilized local forces, wanting to completely kill Zhao Rang before he can gain a firm foothold.

Thinking about it carefully, he went straight to this dry market from that small breakfast shop, and the only thing he had had with the scoundrels who mixed in the dry market.

In the end, it was the middle-aged beauty who was in charge who led the way.

As soon as she got downstairs, the killer immediately came, and I have to say that it was really a coincidence!

Zhao Rang sorted out his thoughts and decided not to leave, and waited for the rabbit on this small building.

Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, blindly leaving may have fulfilled their backhand.

Anyway, judging from the objects in this small building, it is full of life, and it should be the place where the beautiful woman lives for a long time.

Waiting for him at home is like a thorn in the palm of her hand, not afraid that she will not show up!

"Childe is so handsome!"

Zhao Rangzheng sat in the position of the former beautiful woman, looking at the bustling crowd in the market downstairs through the small window.

Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman did not arrive, but the words arrived first.

Turning his eyes to the door, he saw that she was dressed in red, but she changed another piece of clothing, outlining her figure more convex and concave.

There is also an extra veil on the face, and the charming face only reveals a pair of seductive eyes.

is such a stunner, even Zhao Rang can't not move his heart.

After taking a few deep looks, the beautiful woman had already floated in, sitting opposite Zhao Rang, where he had been sitting before.

At the moment, the two of them are not like guests, and the master is not like the master, as if they are both offensive and defensive.

"We've all met, why do you have to cover your face?"

Zhao Rang asked.

There was no emotion in his tone, as if it was just a simple joke.

"Because it's almost night."

The beautiful woman looked out the window and said.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

The scenery in the evening is the most intoxicating.

But wouldn't it be even more charming for her to dress like this and match the scenery at this time?

"Your face won't be visible at night?"

Zhao Rang still said that there was no emotion.

But anyone can hear the overtones in this sentence.

Under the veil, the corners of the beautiful woman's mouth hooked an arc, and she said with a smile:

"At least the concubine is back to face you."

Zhao Rang's eyes flashed with a flash of knife light, and he said coldly:

"That's because you know I'm not going to kill you."

The beautiful woman seemed to have heard some great joke, and her laughter trembled, and she said:

"Of course Childe won't kill me, otherwise you won't have a chance to draw a sword in this city!"

Zhao Rang frowned and asked rhetorically:

"Are you a threat?"

The beautiful woman forced a smile and shook her head again and again:

"No, Childe, you're wrong. I'm not threatening you that you can't kill me, but if you do, you're stupid! Here, stupid people don't live long, and sooner or later they can stupidize themselves to death. Childe, think about it, a person who can stupidize himself to death, even if he holds a world-famous knife, it is estimated that he will not have a chance to unsheath. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Rang slowly nodded after a long time.

He admits that the beautiful woman was right.

Fools don't live long anywhere, so it's good to have something to eat.

As for drawing the knife...... You don't even have to think about it.

"But smart people also have trouble with smart people, and if I were smarter, I would have drawn my sword when you first appeared."

Zhao Rang said.

The beautiful woman shook her head.

She knew very well that Zhao Ran had already figured out in her heart that the killer just now was not sent by herself.

Even if the timing is very coincidental, he does have other thoughts, and Zhao Rang will not do it to himself.

After all, there are also three, six, nine and so on, and the ones I just said are just getting started.

In her opinion, she and Zhao Rang are both standing at the top, so that they can directly save a lot of effort and trouble to explain misunderstandings.

She had seen all kinds of people in this city, but it was the first time she had seen someone as young, calm and skilled as Zhao Rang.

She knows that such a person will never be an ordinary person, and must have an unusual background and purpose.

"Now that Childe has understood the intention of the concubine, I don't know what to do next?"

The beautiful woman asked.

Zhao Rang did not answer her question directly, but asked rhetorically:

"You said you want to help me get my baggage back, does that still count?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said:

"Of course it counts, but Childe should also know that there is no such thing in this world for no reason. I am willing to help you, naturally because you have value worthy of my help. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a piece of waste, and I don't have any value."

After that, Zhao Rang pointed to the corpse still lying on the ground and continued:

"I'll solve these killers for you, and I will repay you for helping me out of the siege in the market. Now let's clear the two of us, and I'll find the burden myself. ”

Before the last word could be spoken, Zhao Rang had already stood up and was ready to leave.

The beautiful woman did not keep it, but said very objectively and fairly:

"Childe is new to the city, and he may not know much about the situation in this city. This city seems to be bustling and lively, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging and dangerous. If Childe wants to gain a foothold here or even achieve his goal, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing. ”

Seeing that Zhao Rang stood still, the beautiful woman hit the railway while it was hot:

"Besides, it's less than an hour before sunset."

Zhao Rang turned his head keenly, stared at the beautiful woman's eyes, and said:

"You've been spying on me?"

The reason why she reminded Zhao Rang of the time of darkness was because she knew what Zhao Rang had done after entering the city.

The four-hoofed BMW that stepped on the snow was also mortgaged in Zhao Rang's small shop where he had breakfast.

If the money is not brought after dark, the horse is in the possession of the shopkeeper.

And in such a short period of time, if you want to find an ordinary blue cloth burden in such a large city, it is obviously impossible to do it with Zhao Rang's ability.

And it was the first time he had come to the city, even if there had already been an arrangement of the Investigation Division here, and now that he had lost his burden, he naturally had nothing to prove his identity.

Going around and around, the local forces that Zhao Rang can rely on now are really what this beautiful woman represents.

But such a threat, Zhao Rang has always disdained.

It's just a horse, no matter how expensive it is, he can afford to lose.

The big problem is that if the beautiful woman knows what happened to her breakfast shop, then she must also know who stole her baggage.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rang's right hand holding the knife unconsciously tightened a little.

The beautiful woman also saw Zhao Rang's strange appearance, but she didn't say a word, just quietly stalemate.

The room was getting darker and darker.

Even if the other party was wearing a red dress, Zhao Rang could only see the general outline of her body.

"If I stand up and light the lamp now, will you stab me?"

The beautiful woman said leisurely, with a bit of pleading in her voice.

Zhao Rang did not answer, but nodded slightly.

Even though it was already dark in the room, he was sure that the beautiful woman would be able to see it.

After lighting the candlestick on the table, the beautiful woman sighed softly and said, "It seems that the trust between us is really weak. ”

Zhao Rang said coldly:

"Trust is built with time and action, not words."

The beautiful woman was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"You're right. But you've got to give me a chance to prove it. ”

Zhao Rang didn't speak, he was waiting for the beautiful woman's next words.

"I know where your baggage is, and I know who stole it. However, I need your help to get it back. ”

Zhao Rang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you need me to help you kill someone, or do you need me to go with you to meet someone?" ”

The beautiful woman looked at Zhao Rang, her eyes flashed with determination, and said:

"I need you to help me get rid of someone."

"A very troublesome person."

Zhao Rang was not surprised, but asked lightly:

"Dragon Sail Club?"

The beautiful woman obviously didn't expect Zhao Rang to say this name so directly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, nodded and said:

"That's right, it's the Dragon Sail Club."

"They have infiltrated every aspect of the city, and they have completely taken over the discourse of the water market. Now they're about to reach out here, and my business has taken a big hit. ”

Speaking of this, the beautiful woman paused for a moment before continuing:

"The killer just now was also sent by the Long Fan Society, and they also knew that I would not be killed so easily, so it was more to warn me, let me know each other, and take the initiative to hand over the business of the dry market."

赵力 says:

"Harmony makes money, fights and kills, and everyone has no money to make."

The beautiful woman's eyes widened, and for the first time, with a little anger, she said to Zhao Rang:

"You mean to let me crawl out of here obediently?"

Zhao Rang did not answer this question directly.

For a woman who is angry, even if you are useless, the best solution is to shut up.

The beautiful woman calmed down, cut off the burning wick, and then diverted the subject, saying:

"Childe doesn't seem to be a stranger to the Dragon Fan Society?"

If this is answered, it involves a lot of secrets, so Zhao Rang kept his mouth shut, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Since Childe has concerns, don't talk about it. The concubine is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and has to be afraid to get to the bottom of everything. ”

Zhao Rang saw that she was no longer entangled, so he also sent a tone and said:

"All I need is baggage."

"Earlier, you also said that you want a chance, so it's better to take this burden as your vote."

The tone is that he is here to waste with her, it is better to completely throw all the problems to her and let her solve them.

The matter of the Longfan Club is also the root of Zhao Rang's trip to the river, so in a sense, he and this beautiful woman still have common interests.

If she can really get her burden back, then it's not impossible to pull a hand in other things.

When the beautiful woman heard Zhao Rang's words, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up again.

She knew that Zhao Rang was not an easily persuaded person, let alone a person who liked to be taken advantage of.

"Okay, I promise you."

The beautiful woman said.

"I'll help you get your baggage back and let you meet the man who stole it."

Zhao Rang nodded, expressing satisfaction.

"But the people of the Dragon Sail Society already know that I have seen you here, and they will definitely spare no effort to come to trouble me."

Zhao Rang frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose.

But now he really doesn't have a better option.

"Yes."

"But I can only give you a day. Tomorrow, by this time, if you haven't found a burden for me, what we said earlier will be null and void. ”

The beautiful woman smiled and said:

"Of course. It's just a deal between you and me, and neither of us can force the other to do anything they don't want to do. ”

With that, she stood up and clapped her hands outside the door.

From the outside, four maids dressed coolly, with delicate facial features and excellent figures, entered.

Each of them walked up to Zhao Rang with a box and opened it together.

The chest was full of silver.

"Here is four thousand taels of silver, which is considered a deposit, and the right is counted as a concubine, and as a son, I came to Zhenhai City to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

The beautiful woman said very politely.

It is the last big city in the north near the river, and it is bordered by overseas and southland, so the customs are very different.

At least in Zhao Rang's impression, the number "four" is still quite evasive, but there doesn't seem to be this emphasis here.

Glancing at the silver in the box, Zhao Rang did not have any joy on his face.

The money was nothing to him, and he was more concerned about his baggage and plans for the next meeting with his friends.

"See you tomorrow here and now."

Zhao Rang only took one hundred taels, and said that he borrowed it.

In addition to the money he gave back to the owner of the breakfast shop, he estimated that the savings were enough for him to eat and drink alone tonight.

The night is low and the stars are shining.

Zhenhai City did not fall silent because of the setting of the sun, but became more lively and prosperous.

The streets are brightly lit, the voices of people are boiling, the cries of various vendors, the sound of fists in the restaurant, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion are intertwined, which is unique and charming.

In a restaurant called "Zuihai Pavilion", Zhao Rang sat by the window on the top floor drinking alone and enjoying the scenery.

The beautiful woman stayed in the small building to deal with the "letter of nomination" she was going to give to Zhao Rang tomorrow. But the four maids waited at the door as she had commanded.

The meaning of the beautiful woman's move is simple.

is nothing more than to completely bind Zhao Rang and himself together.

With her ability, she can be regarded as a figure with a head and face in Zhenhai City.

Now her four personal maids are following a young man inch by inch, and the meaning is self-evident.

As soon as he entered this restaurant just now, the boss saw the girls behind Zhao Rang, his face immediately changed, and without saying a word, he led him to the private room on the top floor.

Good wine and good food don't need to be ordered, and the table is full like a marquee.

From beginning to end, except for the sentence "guest officer, please use it slowly", there is nothing superfluous.

I have to say that in such a mixed place, businessmen are the most likely to look at customers.

If you don't have such an exquisite style, then you deserve to close tomorrow's trading!

The wine of Zhenhai City is quite bland compared to its reputation.

However, Zhao Rang is not in the mood to drink tonight, so he should pass the time.

After drinking a pot, I heard the maid outside the door gently knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Zhao Rang said lightly and didn't look back.

"Childe, eldest sister is invited."

Although the four of them were maids and performed the rites of master and servant, they were called sisters to the beautiful woman.

Zhao Rang nodded and stood up and followed her out of the private room, just an hour and a half had passed since he left the small building.

Zhao Rang didn't ask why they had to meet so soon.

Since you have chosen to give the other party a chance to trust, there is no need to open this mouth.

The two walked down the stairs through the hallway to the backyard of the restaurant.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked in a remote corner.

"Childe, please get in the car."

The maid said respectfully.

The carriage started slowly, and soon drove out of the backyard and into the hustle and bustle of the street outside.

The interior of the carriage is very luxurious and comfortable.

The soft couch, coffee table, and incense burner are all available, and it can be seen that the host is very attentive to this.

Zhao Rang sat on the soft couch and closed his eyes and did not speak.

He was waiting for someone else to take the initiative to tell him where he was going next and what he was going to do.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop.

With a gust of incense blowing. The beautiful woman also got into the carriage and sat opposite Zhao Rang.

But she changed into a cyan long skirt again, which looked fresh and refined, and her temperament was dusty, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Looking at Zhao Rang, he smiled and said, "The concubine has already arranged everything, now please ask the son to come with me." ”

As he spoke, the carriage began to move slowly again.

Zhao Rang closed his eyes all the way, and it wasn't until the carriage stopped again that he slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze intersected with the beautiful woman.

"You're efficient."

The beautiful woman smiled,

"Childe has a good reputation. In Zhenhai City, money can make ghosts grind. ”

Zhao Rang nodded and said no more.

The power of money, he naturally understands. But the burden of the heart cannot be solved by gold and silver.

The carriage eventually arrived at a remote house.

In the dilapidated courtyard, two big red lanterns hang high, like two fires in the dark night.

"Where is this?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The beautiful woman smiled mysteriously, pushed the door in,

"Childe will know when he enters."

Zhao Rang walked in with him, and what caught his eye was the frightened people in the courtyard, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, trembling.

"Big sister spare your life!"

The crowd cried out in unison, like the chirping of mosquitoes.

The beautiful woman sat still, her eyes like a knife,

"Do you know why you're here?"

Everyone shook their heads, but they were so frightened that they couldn't say anything.

"Because you stole this child's baggage."

The beautiful woman coldly debunked.

When the people heard this, they were struck by lightning.

Zhao Rang's gaze swept over everyone, and his voice was as flat as water:

"Where's my baggage?"

A thin man trembled and handed over a blue cloth baggage.

His hands were covered with blood, and a few fingers were hanging weakly, obviously before Zhao Rang came here, he had suffered a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn't just spit out what they stole for no reason.
