Chapter 16: The third son of Qin Shi Huang
"Do the two little brothers know about Shilong?"
Qin Shou saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling asking.
"Stone Dragon? Of course, he knows that he is the most famous martial artist in our Yangzhou City. ”
"If you want to worship under his door, you need at least 10 taels of silver."
Kou Zhong was a little excited, learning martial arts was his ultimate dream.
"Do you two want to go to the martial arts field to learn martial arts?"
Qin Shou thought for a moment, it seemed that it was not difficult to get close to Shilong.
The difficult thing is how to steal the [Longevity Formula], and in a flash, he hit Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with the idea.
When it comes to stealing things, these two are not weak.
"Yes, of course."
"It's a pity we don't have the money."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sighed at the same time, and their whole bodies were full of only half a copper coin.
"This is simple, just twenty taels of silver, and you can give it to two brothers."
"I just want you to do something for me."
Qin Shou glanced at Kou Zhong and the others, and said slowly.
It gives them both a buffer time and a reaction time.
"What's the matter, it's worth twenty taels?" Xu Ziling asked curiously.
"Shi Long has a unique copy of the Taoist scriptures in his hand, which has some connection with the exercises I practice."
"I need to take a look at it and lay the path for future cultivation."
"So I want you to help me steal it back and take a look."
Qin Shou half-truthfully fooled Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and the two of them were confused.
"Hehe, isn't it just stealing a scripture?"
"Haha, leave this matter to us Yangzhou Shuanglong, I guarantee that there is no problem."
"However, after stealing, you still have to give us some benefits."
Kou Zhong wiped the tip of his nose with his thumb, his face full of pride.
"How about inviting you to [Wangxian Residence] to drink and drink a lot of wine?" Qin Shou smiled:
"Can you not go to [Wangxian Residence], I kind of want to see what it looks like inside [Yichun Courtyard]."
Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Ziling and said shyly with a red face.
"Kou Zhong... You..."
Hearing Kou Zhong's words, Xu Ziling showed a look of shock, obviously, this person didn't expect that his good brother would have such an interesting idea.
"Hey, I'm 17, it's normal to go once, right?" Kou Zhong broke the jar and fell, and no one could stop him from growing up.
"No... That one... I want to see it too..."Xu Ziling lowered his head and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Haha, good brothers, let's be together." Kou Zhong put his arms around Xu Ziling's shoulders, completely devoid of his previous embarrassment.
"Then it's settled." Qin Shou smiled and agreed to the request of the two, and briefly described the appearance of the [Longevity Formula].
Perhaps under the influence of [Yichun Courtyard], Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling listened very seriously, constantly patting their chests to reassure.
Qin Shou didn't put too much pressure on the two of them, and let them rest early, until the second day, when the east was little by little.
The sun shone on the earth, and Qin Shoucai threw twenty-two taels of silver to Kou Zhong and explained:
"Have some breakfast and enter the martial arts field, if you look like two soft-footed shrimp, I'm afraid you will be laughed at."
"Brother Yue, don't worry, the two of us won't." Kou Zhong was very grateful when he took the silver, and replied with a smile.
"Go ahead!"
Qin Shou waved his hand and asked Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to leave, stealing the [Longevity Formula], it was not an overnight thing, at least, he had made a long-term plan.
As for this period, he plans to investigate the news of his adoptive father's disappearance first.
A good living person, you can't say no, you can't say no.
And the only clue at the moment is the corpses that died at home.
According to the law of the [Song Kingdom], unclaimed corpses will be placed in Yizhuang outside the city for 15 days.
After 15 days, it will be handed over to the caretaker for unified cleaning.
According to Uncle Liu's words, the other party died five days ago, and he must still be in Yizhuang now.
Thinking of this, Qin Shou didn't delay getting up and walking outside the city, he was very worried that he would lose his body by encountering an irresponsible guard.
…
Yangzhou Yizhuang, six miles outside the city, and when Qin Shou arrived in Yizhuang, it was almost noon.
The dilapidated gate leaked several holes of various sizes, and the surrounding windows had fallen into disrepair, leaving only wooden bones.
Reluctantly, it should be considered that the tiles on the roof are still intact, and there is no need to approach, there is a smell of decay and stink in the wind.
Knock Knock Knock –
Qin Shou stood at the door, knocked lightly on the door a few times and looked inside, I have to say that this kind of place always gives people an eerie and terrifying illusion.
It seems like there will be a corpse at any moment," Dua
G's sit up and bite your ass.
"Who... Yikes..."
From time to time, a voice that was so sharp that it made people goosebumps came out of Yizhuang.
A white-haired old lady with a height of only one meter and five walked out with her back on her back, and after seeing Qin Shou, she said impatiently:
"Looking for relatives or worshipping ancestors?"
"Looking for relatives and ancestors?" Qin Shou was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, the other party asked no problem, so he pretended to be vicious:
"I was ordered to investigate the Qin family fire case a few days ago, and take me to see those corpses."
"Please... The white-haired old lady glanced at Qin Shou, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the Yizhuang with small steps.
As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, Qin Shou couldn't help but shudder.
Obviously, it was the most sunny time at noon, but there was no light in Yizhuang, and what was even more strange was that the old lady had to light a candle in her hand.
"It's these four corpses, adults take a look at them." The white-haired old lady turned around to hand the candle to Qin Shou, her gray face was very scary.
"No need, your fire is too small."
Qin Shou did not take the candle handed by the other party, but instead lit a fire and lifted the deceased's clothes one by one with the scabbard.
Four corpses, one with a dented chest, one with a shattered skull, and the other two died with their hearts shattered.
At a glance, it can be seen that he was killed by a blunt object.
"Sticks?"
"Stone pillars?"
After guessing a few times, Qin Shou was not sure what weapon the killer used, but it was enough to see that the killer not only had profound skills but also had some kind of great power.
"My lord, do you see anything?" The white-haired old lady asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
Qin Shou glanced back at her, did not reply, but continued to observe the four corpses, and said lightly:
"The tiger's mouth and the calluses on the hands are very thick, and there are scratches of varying shades on the inside of the forearm, which seem to come from some organization that is good at using swords."
"And then there are the boots on the feet, with a square muzzle and a wide brim along the front edge. The bottom of the track is made of twine. ”
This kind of outfit is not the mainstream outfit of the Song Kingdom, but more like the standard configuration of the people of Qiang Qin. That is to say... This group of people came from the Qin State. ”
"And although there are many killer organizations in Qin that are good at using swords, it seems that there is only one that can achieve unified clothing and unified punishment."
Just as Qin Shou was picking up the identity of the other party little by little, suddenly, a cold light came from his neck, as if he was about to cut off his head.
"Hmph, I've long seen that you're not normal."
Qin Shou had already taken precautions, the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and it fell in an instant, and with a single sword, it cut off the sharp cold light that attacked behind him.
