There is a stack of silver tickets on the table, all of which are from Shengyuan Qianzhuang, the largest ticket number in the county, and they are exchanged at any time, which is a real hard currency.

In addition, there are a few golden tickets, which are the reward after the elimination of the bandits this time, especially when Nakong Existence heard that these bandits are actually ready to attack his family.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya took action in time to exterminate him, and after his family survived, he paid out of his own pocket to show his gratitude, and gave Zhao Ya an additional honorarium.

This is all Zhao Ya's net worth.

The silver taels brought from Dancing Elephant City before had long been exhausted, and these were all earned by Zhao Ya during this time.

Although it is not much, it has solved the urgent need.

In addition, Zhao Ya also touched some fragmentary silver taels on the gang of bandits, but all of them added up to just over a hundred taels.

This is not surprising, for these bandits who are begging for a living on the tip of the knife, they don't know if they will see the sun tomorrow, so when they have money, they will squander it and will not save it at all.

"Whew!"

Zhao Ya let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and silently pondered in his heart.

Seven hundred and thirteen taels of silver, and eighty-four taels of gold.

If you buy the dried meat of alien beasts on the market, you can probably buy more than 30 taels of golden-spotted dried blood eel.

The golden-spotted black eel dried is the dried meat of the alien beast that Zhao Ya selected after studying it for a long time according to his own situation.

Although it is not as potent as the seven-star dried blood eel provided by the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, it is better that the price is relatively cheap, and you can buy one tael with only five taels of gold.

Although this price still makes Zhao Ya feel painful, there is no way, high-grade alien beast jerky is hard currency no matter where it goes, it belongs to a pure seller's market, if you want it, you can only buy it obediently, there is basically no other way.

And this is not bad, such as the seven-star blood eel dried beast meat provided by the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, which is generally only provided to some big forces, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to.

Zhao Ya set aside the money to buy dried meat tomorrow, and then put the remaining dozens of taels of silver tickets on his body.

"Cleaned up?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Right now!" The voice of a drunken child came from the bedroom next to it.

Zhao Ya didn't urge again.

Tonight, he was going to invite the three senior brothers and Meng Shiwen to dinner.

This is also something that Zhao Ya has wanted to do for a long time.

After all, it has been several months since they got started, and it was often Shen Daomiao Shaocheng who invited them, but they didn't even invite them back.

This is a bit unreasonable.

Now that the affairs of Silk Shop have been dealt with, although the money earned is not much, it is enough to have a meal.

So in the afternoon, Zhao Ya set a table in Feixian Residence.

At this time, Zui'er also cleaned up, walked out of the bedroom and said to Zhao Ya: "Let's go, Brother Xiaoya!" ”

said that it was cleaned up, but in fact, it was a change of clothes and a combing of hair.

can't stand the natural beauty of drunken children, so even if you don't apply fat powder, you are still beautiful.

Even Zhao Ya couldn't help but look at it twice.

Zui'er was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with Brother Xiaoya?" Do I have something on my face? ”

"No, I just think it's good!" Zhao Ya replied very honestly.

The drunken child was stunned for a moment, and then his face was visibly flushed, but his eyes were full of joy.

What girl doesn't want to hear praise from the person she loves?

Zhao Ya was just about to go out with his drunken son, and Miao Shaocheng came.

"Hahaha, I heard that the little junior brother is going to have a treat tonight, but I haven't even eaten lunch, so I'm waiting for this meal in the evening." Miao Shaocheng said with a smile.

Then he saw the drunken girl who was following Zhao Ya, and couldn't help but praise: "The drunken girl is so beautiful today!" ”

The drunken child lowered his head shyly and did not say anything.

"Where's Senior Brother Xu?" Zhao Ya asked.

"He went back to his house a little in advance, and told me before he left that he would go directly to Feixian Ju later, and he didn't have to wait for him."

"Well, let's go."

Just as he was about to leave for the Flying Immortal Residence, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared.

I saw Meng Shiwen wearing an elegant white dress, and walked closer.

"Big ...... Big sister? Miao Shaocheng was extremely surprised.

Meng Shiwen paused slightly, and then said to Zhao Ya: "Are you going to Feixian Residence?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

Unconsciously, Meng Shiwen and Zui'er walked in front, and the two seemed to have a good chat, at least a smile appeared on Meng Shiwen's face from time to time.

Miao Shaocheng slowed down, leaned over to Zhao Ya's side and asked, "When did you invite Senior Sister?" ”

"I invited you with me when I invited you!"

"She didn't say anything?"

"No, just nodded."

"Shhh Miao Shaocheng patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Seriously, Senior Sister really gave you enough face today, do you know how many people wanted to invite Senior Sister to dinner before, and she never pretended to excuse herself."

Zhao Ya didn't think about these either.

To be honest, he didn't plan to invite Meng Shiwen.

But after thinking about it later, let's mention it.

After all, she is in the same division, even if she has prejudices against herself, she has to at least get by on face.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shiwen actually agreed very happily.

Listening to Miao Shaocheng's meaning now, it seems that this situation is rare?

At this time, the group came to the Feixian Residence, which was still the private room by the window on the third floor.

And not long after they arrived, Xu De also came.

As soon as he saw that Meng Shiwen was also there, Xu De's face also showed a hint of surprise, but he still hurriedly gave his hand to salute.

"Senior sister!"

"Well, isn't Shen Dao here yet?" Meng Shiwen asked.

"Second Senior Brother should be almost there."

As he was talking, a hearty laugh came from outside the door, "Senior sister is actually here today, what an unexpected joy." ”

With the words, Shen Dao walked into the private room, still looking free and uninhibited.

Meng Shiwen didn't speak, just nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

When the people arrived, the food and wine were presented like flowing water.

Although at the beginning, because of Meng Shiwen's presence, everyone was a little restrained and could not let go.

But after a few glasses of wine, when people saw that Meng Shiwen was still cold, they didn't say anything, and even talked happily with the drunk children on the side, so they all let go.

At this time, Miao Shaocheng smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother, why didn't I see you leading the Shi family here today?" ”

Shen Dao smiled, "She's delayed a little today, but she should be here later." ”

"Seriously, Second Senior Brother, you take the Shi family to mess around all day long, doesn't the owner of the Drunken Flower Workshop have any opinion?" Xu De asked.

"Of course there are opinions, but if you have opinions, you have to hold back, who made the young girl her cash cow now."

Shi Qingqing is the biggest Oiran in the Drunken Flower Workshop, and many rich people do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to see each other.

In this way, Shi Qingqing's status in the Drunken Flower Workshop is also very transcendent.

Even the owner didn't dare to offend.

"Alas, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it will be for you and the Shi family to be together!" Xu De sighed.

With such a cash cow, the owner of the drunken flower shop will naturally not let go easily.

This is also the reason why Shen Dao has been with him for so long, but he still hasn't been able to redeem him.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, today the little junior brother has a treat, let's have some fun." Miao Shaocheng hurriedly played a round.

Xu De also consciously lost his words, and hurriedly raised his glass to enliven the atmosphere.

But at this moment, there was a panicked footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the private room was slammed open.

The person who came was actually a little maid.

As soon as she saw Shen Dao sitting in the room, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

"Shen Gongzi, hurry, something happened to Miss!"

Hearing this, Shen Dao Huoran stood up, and his expression, which had always been smiling, became extremely cold and solemn at this time.

"Where?"

"Aunt Xue's house in Yongle Fang!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Dao had already pushed the window and flew out.

At this time, the people in the room also reacted.

Miao Shaocheng recognized that this little maid was Xi'er beside Shi Qingqing, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" What's wrong with everyone Shi? ”

Xue ...... Aunt Xue's family is dead! Xi'er seemed to be frightened by something, and she only muttered incoherently in the face of Miao Shaocheng's questioning.

As soon as everyone saw this, they naturally couldn't eat the wine.

"Let's go and take a look, what if something happens to the second senior brother?" Xu De said.

Although Shen Dao's strength can be regarded as the strongest among the five, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, what if there are many people on the other side?

So Zhao Ya threw away the food money and asked Meng Shiwen to take care of the drunken and the maid Xi'er, and then followed Miao Shaocheng and Xu De to Yongle Fang.

Yongle Fang is not close to Feixian Residence, but the three of them have kung fu, and they arrived with just a cup of tea under the full exertion.

Xu De had followed Shen Dao and Shi Qingqing to Aunt Xue's house, so he knew the way.

He led Zhao Ya and Miao Shaocheng and soon came to a house in Yongle Fang.

At this time, the courtyard door was wide open, and a woman's cry was faintly heard inside.

The three of them looked at each other, all ready, and stepped into it.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhao Ya frowned.

Because he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De naturally smelled it, and their faces all changed.

After hurriedly coming to the main room, I saw Shen Dao standing in the middle of the room with a pale face, and it was Shi Qingqing sitting next to him.

At this time, this Shi family, who is known for his bright and moving nature, is crying with a corpse in his arms at this time.

Seeing this corpse, not only Zhao Ya, but also Miao Shaocheng and Xu De couldn't help frowning.

Because this is a naked female corpse, and the death is extremely miserable, and the body is covered with knife marks of different shades.

Xu De recognized this female corpse, which was that Aunt Xue.

You must know that this Aunt Xue is just a nickname, in fact, she is only about thirty years old.

At the beginning, she was also a girl in the drunken flower shop, but because she was getting older and earned enough money to redeem herself, she redeemed herself and moved to this Yongle Fang to live.

When she was in Zuihuafang, this Aunt Xue had the best relationship with Shi Qingqing.

Especially because Shi Qing was still young at that time, Aunt Xue helped her out of many things.

So when she later redeemed herself and moved to Yongle Fang, Shi Qingqing still often came to see her.

Unexpectedly, this Aunt Xue died tragically at home today, and she saw that she had been extremely cruelly abused before she was born.

"Second Senior Brother, what's going on?" Miao Shaocheng asked.

Shen Dao didn't say anything, just silently stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a butterfly made of jade.

"Jade Butterfly!"

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

Shen Dao nodded, "That's right, it's the Jade Butterfly." ”

Then after Shen Dao's narration, the three of them knew what was going on.

It turned out that today was Aunt Xue's birthday, so Shi Qingqing did not follow Shen Dao to the banquet.

She prepared a gift and took the maid to Aunt Xue's house, but no matter how she called the door, she couldn't open it.

At that time, Shi Qingqing had a premonition that something was wrong, so she simply asked the maid Xi'er to bring a ladder, climbed the wall and opened the courtyard door from the inside.

As soon as he entered the door, the tragic situation in front of him made Shi Qingqing almost collapse.

Aunt Xue, who had a bad relationship with her, had died tragically in the living room.

In the room next to it, including the old mother who sprinkled and swept the courtyard, all seven members of Aunt Xue's family were killed.

This kind of tragedy made Shi Qingqing grief-stricken, but she rarely maintained a trace of sobriety, so she ordered the maid Xi'er to hurry to Feixian Residence to find Shen Dao.

As for why you don't go to the government ...... first.

If you want to count on that group of fast hunters to come, it is estimated that the sky is dawning.

When Shen Dao arrived, he was also shocked by this scene, but he quickly calmed down, carefully surveyed the scene, and then found this jade butterfly.

Now that the situation is clear, it is obvious that the jade butterfly, which has been silent for more than two years, shot again and killed Aunt Xue's family.

The faces of the people were extremely ugly.

Miao Shaocheng was even more angry and scolded.

"Fuck, this bitch raised jade butterfly is really crazy, not to mention rape first and then kill, and it's so torturous, don't let me catch him, after I catch him, I will definitely peel off his skin."

"There are more people who want to skin him, but the key is that no one knows who this jade butterfly is." Xu De said helplessly.

Zhao Ya did not speak.

At this time, he was carefully examining the scene.

According to Shi Qingqing, the courtyard door was locked when they came, so it can be seen that this jade butterfly should have flown into the house.

It's not surprising that he was able to do so many big cases, and a few of them were committed in the heavily guarded deep mansion compound, which shows that this jade butterfly's light skills are quite good.

The key is the doors and windows inside.

Zhao Ya observed carefully, and finally found traces of picking a lock on a window.

The inside of the window is fastened with a latch, and the latch inside has been broken, but there is no sign of damage to the wood outside.

Zhao Ya frowned.

This kind of tactics similar to fighting cattle across the mountains is a clever technique of using power.

And to be able to do this, the strength of this jade butterfly is by no means ordinary.

It can now be concluded that he came in through this window.

It just so happened that it had just rained in the county town in the past two days.

So Zhao Ya looked for clues very carefully.

Seeing Zhao Ya looking for something on the ground without saying a word, Miao Shaocheng just wanted to come over.

Zhao Ya suddenly said, "Don't come here." ”

Miao Shaocheng stopped in his tracks.

The footprints on the ground were very messy, but Aunt Xue's family were all women, and it was Shi Qingqing who found the scene for the first time, which gave Zhao Ya great convenience.

As long as the footprints of those women are eliminated, the rest will be suspicious.

Really.

After searching for a long time, Zhao Ya finally found a suspicious footprint in the corner of the wall.

The footprints were fresh with dirt, apparently only in the past two days.

But the most important thing is not this, Zhao Ya found that this pair of footprints is deep and shallow, which is very strange.

It's .......

Zhao Ya's heart moved, could it be that this jade butterfly who has committed countless big cases is actually a cripple?
