"Ten thousand taels! Do you know how much a month's surplus is added up to all the casinos? It's not that you just made a great contribution yesterday, and today I will remove you as the shopkeeper! But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped! You have to find a way to earn it back for me, and in two months it will be the imperial capital Wubi, and the Duke of Qin will return to the imperial capital, if this silver is lacking at that time, I won't be able to keep you! After Shao Shiwang left an angry sentence, he slammed the door and left, and soon left the courtyard and got into the carriage.

Gui Wanqiu's face fell to the ground with a worried face, blood was still oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her charming face was flushed.

She called 10,000 taels of silver to invite the killer and couldn't hide it, there was Shao Shiwang's eyeliner inside the gambling house, she didn't know who this eyeliner was, but he called 10,000 taels yesterday, and as soon as the curfew passed early this morning, Shao Shiwang came to the door to ask the teacher.

Fortunately, Liu Xin left one step earlier, otherwise Shao Shiwang might have drawn his sword and killed someone if he found out that a man had spent the night with his mistress in his courtyard.

Waving her sleeves and wiping her face, Gui Wanqiu stood up with the table on the side, the sadness on her face had disappeared, and she turned to an extremely indifferent face, looking out of the door with murderous intent.

She insisted on not saying the use of the silver, otherwise Shao Shiwang would not just be furious.

Contacting the Demon Killer Organization is a capital offense!

She was about to go back to her room to change her clothes, which were already covered in dust and blood. At this moment, the sound of giggling like a hen came from the beams of the room, and Gui Wanqiu took two steps back and looked up in horror.

The tall female killer of the Dog Slaughter Sect jumped down and landed lightly.

I didn't expect the rabbit to hide on the beam of the house all the time, but Shao Shiwang is a thousand households in Jinyi, and his own strength is a real Dacheng realm, and the latter couldn't find the rabbit.

The killer of the Dog Slaughter Sect really has some skills.

But they just agreed last night, how did they come back so quickly.

"Why are you here?" Gui Wanqiu pretended to be calm.

Rabbit Jiao laughed and said: "Don't be sexual, you're wondering why I came back so quickly, right, there's nothing strange, of course I'm going to come back to you quickly after completing the task." The boss once said that time is money! ”

"It's done!" Gui Wanqiu's face was incredulous, how many hours have it only passed?

The smile on the rabbit's face subsided a little, and said, "Our Dog Slaughter Sect has always collected money to do things, and treats people with trust, and will not be untrustworthy. If you find it, you find it. ”

With that, the rabbit took out a note from his arms and handed it to Gui Wanqiu.

Gui Wanqiu took the note with a shocked face, and there was only one address and the name of a caravan on the note.

Rabbit then said: "The boss also said, let's open source and reduce expenditure, the task of finding someone is already done, then please pay the balance off, and then I need to introduce our next business to you." Someone has found him, do you need us to help you kill him, or help him? As a kind reminder, when our people investigated this group of northern barbarians, they found that they were originally well hidden, but now they suddenly showed their feet, and they looked like they were in a hurry to leave the imperial capital. That's why we got the results out so quickly, but at the same time, if you want to do something about them, time is of the essence. We know a little bit about you, but the Northern Barbarians are not ordinary gangsters, otherwise our offer would not be so high. ”

With that, the rabbit found a chair and sat down, waiting for Gui Wanqiu to think about it.

Gui Wanqiu's face changed, if according to what the rabbit said, then she would not have time to arrange, and Shao Shiwang had already discovered that she had embezzled 10,000 taels, and if she wanted to mobilize manpower in the future, I am afraid she would also encounter obstacles.

"If you want me to kill someone, what would it cost?" Gui Wanqiu said tentatively.

Rabbit smiled, with a shrewd look on his face, like a shrewd businessman. In fact, she is indeed a businessman, and the Dog Slaughter Sect has recently held an assessment, and the boss has asked each of the Zodiac Killers to exonerate themselves from business channels, and eventually re-rank. She didn't want to be at the bottom of the line, especially with pigs.

"The person you are looking for is very strong, and I can't do it alone, but as long as you take the job, you will definitely complete the task, you can rest assured."

"So, the price tag is going to be high, right?" Gui Wanqiu is also a senior shopkeeper, and it is easy to hear this kind of superficial and raising the price.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the rabbit's face, but it quickly recovered, the killer, the face is still quite thick, she giggled, and said: "Actually, it's okay, the person you want to kill may be a master of the Dacheng Realm, and we charge 100,000 taels, but for the sake of your business, I will give you a discount." Ninety thousand taels! The money saved before the search was saved! ”

"Ninety thousand taels!" Gui Wanqiu's face showed hesitation, she definitely didn't have the money herself, but the gambling house did! The turnover of the gambling house is more than 200,000 taels of silver. But this is all Shao Shiwang's, and the previous withdrawal of 10,000 taels was discovered. If you withdraw another 90,000 taels, I am afraid that you will be stabbed by Shao Shiwang without saying a word.

"I know you don't have any money, but the one who just left does." Rabbit Jiao smiled and said step by step: "Shao Shiwang, Jinyi Wei Qianhu." Although he is an official, the price at which we kill him is not high. ”

"He's also a Dacheng realm!" Gui Wanqiu kindly reminded that she hadn't realized that she had unconsciously followed the rabbit's train of thought, in fact, she shouldn't have been like this, but the fragrance of the sachet on the rabbit's waist made Gui Wanqiu's thoughts flutter, and she seemed more radical than usual.

This is a special aromatherapy that stimulates emotions, and it is the secret technique of rabbits, which is used to stimulate oneself and practice on weekdays. But stimulating the brain and making people more excited can also work wonders when used in business negotiations.

The rabbit waved his hand and said with some generosity: "Killing one is also killing, killing two, discounting!" Fifty thousand taels! Kill him, and you can dispose of the silver in the gambling house at will, 150,000 taels, not just take it casually! ”

"But..."Gui Wanqiu was still a little hesitant, she wanted to take revenge, but after all, she had been in the underground underworld of the mall for so long, she was very rational, although she was affected now, but this rationality was still vaguely maintained.

"After taking revenge, it shouldn't be difficult for you to take the remaining silver from the gambling house, leave the sad place of the imperial capital, and make a comeback in other places!" The rabbit's last words broke through Gui Wanqiu's last trace of psychological defense.

Next, the rabbit took out the contract, and after signing it with Gui Wanqiu, he left quietly, only taking the balance of the first task of five thousand taels of silver tickets.

Gui Wanqiu watched the rabbit disappear into the pavilion, her face was resolute, and she stopped for a long time.

As time passed, the aromatic influence of the rabbit gradually disappeared, but the resolute look on Gui Wanqiu's face remained unchanged without the slightest change.

——

In a restaurant somewhere in the inner city, Shao Shiwang got out of the carriage, hurriedly went upstairs, and saw Liu Licheng who had been waiting for a long time in a private room.

"Shao Qianhu, I've been waiting for you for half an hour!" Liu Licheng's tone was a little impatient.

Shao Shiwang arched his hand apologetically and said, "Some things have been delayed, what's the matter, Liu Qianhu seems to be a little impatient today!" ”

Liu Licheng didn't talk to Shao Shiwang sloppily, and said straight to the point: "Liu Xin, this kid has taken refuge in Dongchang!" ”

Shao Shiwang frowned: "This kid has some skills, so he can climb another branch so quickly!" Then it's not easy for you to deal with him next! ”

Liu Licheng waved his hand a little tiredly and said: "If that's all it takes, then I will directly transfer all the manpower of his 100 households, how much attention can he get in Dongchang alone?" ”

Shao Shiwang nodded, that's right, without his Jinyi guard, it's just a rude martial artist with no force.

"But" Liu Licheng changed his words and said: "But early in the morning, there were frequent movements in the East Factory, and just half an hour ago, most of the manpower was organized and entered Chengpingfang!" ”

"Chengpingfang!" Shao Shiwang's brows tightened, this is where the princes and nobles and top ministers live, whether it is a mansion or a small courtyard, it is not a petty official who can live there.

"Dare to arrange manpower in that place, it means that Dongchang has found key clues, key suspects, but Jinyiwei has no news here!" Liu Licheng had obvious anxiety on his face.

"So what does this have to do with me?" Shao Shiwang said with a frown. His partnership with Liu Licheng originated from the adopted son of Tuoba Yunhan, and Shao Shiwang also hoped to establish a relationship with Liu Licheng, which was also beneficial to himself. If the two sides cooperate, they can gain a greater voice within Jinyiwei.

Liu Licheng smiled bitterly and said: "My network is not as extensive as Brother Shao, my main purpose in looking for Brother Shao this time is to talk about cooperation with you on behalf of Emperor Wu City!" ”

"Martial Emperor City!" Shao Shiwang's eyes froze.

Liu Licheng smiled and said, "I know that behind Brother Shao is Xin Guogong, and behind Xin Guogong is Qin Guogong." In fact, our goal is the same. ”

Shao Shiwang nodded silently, there are many people in the imperial capital who know about his background, but everyone knows it but does not say it.

Liu Licheng continued: "Junior brother, my current situation is very bad, I am already alone in Jinyiwei, and now I can't even handle the people below, the sect must be very disappointed in me." But I don't want to sit still, this case is a key, if I can solve this case, I can continue to stay in Jinyiwei. ”

After a pause, seeing that Shao Shiwang didn't say anything, Liu Licheng had no choice but to put his conditions on the table: "Brother Shao, you have a lot of energy in the Xungui circle, and I think there is a way to find out what the situation is in the East Factory." And in return, I will definitely bring the righteous son of Qin Guogong to the imperial capital, and at the same time, I will fully support Brother Shao and compete for the position of commander and acquaintance! ”

"Kou Gang? He's not easy to deal with! ”

Liu Licheng smiled mysteriously and said: "We have no way to drag him into the water, but there is a way to let him rise one liter!" ”

"What do you say!" Shao Shiwang finally showed a look of interest.

Liu Licheng said: "The commander of Yanshan's right position has caused the recurrence of the old disease, and he has been bedridden for half a month. We have a way to upgrade Kou Gang, the commander of the same knowledge, to the right position of Yanshan as the commander! ”

"How can you do that!" Shao Shiwang couldn't believe it, because Kou Gang was the representative of Wenchen, and he was the nail that Wenchen planted in Jinyiwei, how could the civil official group easily let people pull out the nail of their own installation.

Liu Licheng smiled: "This, Emperor Wu City has its own way!" ”

Shao Shiwang was silent for a long time, and looked at Liu Licheng silently, and finally, Shao Shiwang nodded, and Liu Licheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed look.

East City, the backyard of the Winter Warm Pavilion

Buhe stood on the edge of a carriage, his tall body hidden in a heavy robe.

At the middle of the carriage sat the second wise man of the steppe, Billeg.

"Buhe, we are leaving today, you need to be here in the back of the palace."

"Yes, Elder!" Bu He replied respectfully, but asked in a puzzled tone: "Why are we so anxious to evacuate, the methods of raising horses have not yet been fully obtained!" ”

There was silence in the carriage for a long time, and the voice of Bileg sighed and said: "I claim to be the second wisdom of the grassland, but it is still not enough in the Central Plains, we grassland people are still weaker than the cunning Central Plains people in terms of wisdom, and only the guy who is proud fox can fight with the people of the Central Plains!" ”

After a pause, Billegg continued, knowing the simplicity of Ebuho's mind, not realizing what had happened to them.

"Buhe, do you remember how many shots you made?"

Buhe nodded and said, "I missed once, I'm sorry, Elder!" ”

Bilegg let out a long breath and said, "Actually, you missed twice!" The time we killed that eunuch, we also missed! ”

Bu He was puzzled, he obviously killed that eunuch!

Bileg seemed to be talking to himself, because Buhe was now full of puzzlement, and fell into, I obviously killed someone, why did the elders say that I missed, what do you mean!

"Our plan went well at first, but from the moment the first eunuch suddenly came to denounce us, we seemed to have fallen into a trap. We were forced to kill people and expose our shadows to ensure that our previous plans would not fail. We successively obtained most of the content of the secret art of raising horses, but just before the last part of the core content was in hand, the eunuch named Gui Qinchen unexpectedly revealed the cultivation of the Dacheng Realm and escaped from the imperial city. At the time, I thought that if Bu and you killed someone, this matter could be saved. But in fact, this is all the plan of the person behind the scenes, you killed someone, and combined with the previous few shots, we were completely exposed in front of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Let you go and kill Gui Qinchen and his sister, but fail, this is the tangible proof of that person's existence! I lost and now I have to get out of here. Jian Fangliang was also exposed, everything about us was exposed, and the plan of more than ten years was all in vain! I even feel that the person behind it has been watching our actions for more than ten years, and he is extremely frightened to think about it! Terrible, terrible! ”

"Elder, what the hell are you talking about, Buhe doesn't understand!" The cloth and the urn sound urn breath of the road.

Bileg fell into self-denial again, and after a long silence, he said quietly: "I'll go first, you are here in the palace, two hours later, I should have already left the city, at that time, you can find a direction and leave here, this place is very dangerous!" ”

Although Bu He didn't understand the elder's words, he could still understand the word without leaving, so he nodded.

After a stick of incense, the carriage slowly left the Warm Winter Pavilion.

Two hours later, the carriage left the gate of the imperial capital and walked onto the official road, all the way to the north.

And not long after the carriage left the city gate, more than ten horsemen rushed out of the city gate and chased after the carriage.

Yuan Dongxiang straightened his back and sat on the back of the horse, although the horse galloped rapidly, his figure was still upright. Liu Xin is one horse behind Yuan Dongxiang, and behind him are more than a dozen Dongchang masters, at least at the Xiaoqi level.

They received the news that when they found the Winter Warm Pavilion, it was already empty, and then according to the news of the Dongchang spies, they learned that the people in the Winter Warm Pavilion got into the carriage and were on their way out of the city, so Yuan Dongxiang found someone to bring the horses, chased them all the way, and finally caught up with the carriage after leaving the city.

But soon, Yuan Dongxiang and Liu Xin's faces were covered with gloom.

Because the carriage was empty, only a deaf and dumb groom, and no news came out for the time being.

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Liu Xin's first reaction was this.

And Yuan Dongxiang's gloomy face suddenly changed when he heard the words "Tune the Tiger from the Mountain", he turned his horse's head, looked at the imperial capital, and said in a deep voice: "Jian Fangliang!" ”

Liu Xin immediately reacted, the Northern Barbarians transferred the tiger away from the mountain, I am afraid that it was to save Jian Fangliang, or to kill people!

Turning the horse's head, Yuan Dongxiang didn't care about his own image, and rode the horse wildly, a few points faster than when he came, and Liu Xin immediately rode his horse to catch up.

When they arrived in the city, they went directly to Zhengyang Street, and only this street could allow the two of them to rush to the inner city as quickly as possible.

Along the way, Yuan Dongxiang used his internal strength, held the Dongchang waist card with one hand, and kept shouting: "Dongchang handles the case, idlers avoid it!" ”

The road was unimpeded.

At this time, in the east of the imperial capital, there was an old man sitting on the back of a cow at the gate of the city, and two middle-aged men who seemed to be his sons followed by his side.

The old man on the back of the ox turned around and glanced at the imperial capital, and the light in his eyes flashed. He muttered: "Buhe, don't be reckless, come back alive!" ”

——

Inner City, Qi House

Qi Ji, the right attendant of the military department, did not go to court today, but complained at home.

The Qi Mansion is relatively deserted, Qi Ji's wife died early, and he has only one son, who is now serving as the governor of Hanzhong. He was alone in the imperial capital, and in addition to the court and office on weekdays, he wrote at home and practiced calligraphy.

In addition, he was a philanthropist, and most of the servants in the household were picked up beggars. When he had enough servants in his household, he sent the rescued people to his hometown to work in the fields.

In short, in the imperial capital, the good name of Master Qi Jiqi is famous.

In the study of Qi Mansion, Qi Ji's face was calm, but the wolf in his hand was trembling slightly, and his heart was very unsettled.

Just an hour and a half ago, an old man from the backyard came to the door and startled him.

And the news after that made him even more frightened.

Jian Fangliang is his protégé, and Jian Fangliang is investigated, and he may be next.

But he was not too panicked at this time, after all, this old man of the Northern Barbarians is known as the second wise man of the Northern Barbarians, and he is a very wise person.

At the beginning of the year, he learned about the secret art of raising horses through Cui Wenxiu, the director of the imperial horse supervisor, and then got in touch with these eunuchs through his protégé, Jian Fangliang, a bachelor of waiting. Then on the condition of helping them leave the imperial city, he tricked them into handing over the secret art of raising horses.

This secret technique is indeed very important at the big picture level, but at the bottom level, many people don't care too much.

He also successfully gained the trust of several eunuchs, but at this moment, one of them suddenly showed signs of rebellion, and under the arrangement of Bileg, Qi Ji successfully solved this person.

There was a period of calm, but not long ago, the eunuchs had died one after another, but he clearly remembered that he did not make a move, and Bilegh should not have done so, because it was not in their interest.

For Beiban, the secret art of raising horses is important, but his traitor is also very important.

After a series of events, Qi Ji found himself and the Northern Barbarians forced into an extremely dangerous situation. But this situation seems to be unbreakable, as if there is a pair of invisible hands behind their backs manipulating them.

During this time, he has been plotting and trying to pull back a game, but it still didn't work. He received news early in the morning that the man he had arranged at the gate of the city was missing, and the two remaining eunuchs in the imperial city were also dead. This made Qi Ji's heart feel weak, but he didn't know if this matter was done by Bileg.

It wasn't until Bilegg came to the door that he knew he had one foot in death.

Bileg came to the door only to tell him to leave here as soon as possible, and Bileg arranged a backhand, at least for a day, Qi Ji was still safe.

Qi Ji can only choose to believe.

At this time, although Qi Ji was flustered, he was not chaotic, because he had long expected that he might have this day, so many of his backhands had been arranged, and he was confident that he could leave safely.

Until a visit by a person.

"It's the first time I've seen Lord Qi's words, and it's really worthy of its name!"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the side, Qi Ji's hand shook, and a word immediately turned into a ball of black ink, he raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and said bitterly:

"Lord Ao, what exactly do you want to do?"
