Ghost frowned and said, "In this town, one day suddenly a Langzhong came. He was kind-hearted and had good medical skills, and he often treated the poor here for free, and everyone here liked him. But I found that he seemed very interested in my gold mines. ”

"Before him, the court had also sent several secret agents to investigate, one was that there were reports from those high-ranking officials in the court in advance, and the other was that as officials, they would inevitably show some flaws, so usually when they couldn't find out anything, I let them disappear from this world. ”

"However, this Langzhong is different, his background is very clean, and there is no record of him in the imperial court, he is indeed like an ordinary Langzhong, plus the people in the gold mine often have injuries and illnesses, and there is a need for such a Langzhong here, so I let him stay and opened a medical center in the town. It's just that he didn't expect that he would stay for more than ten years. ”

"It wasn't until recently that I intercepted one of the carrier pigeons he released and obtained a secret letter from him to the Criminal Department, which confirmed his identity as an agent. In fact, I admire him, it is really rare to be able to stay in one place for more than ten years to investigate a case, and hide himself so well. ”

Ye Feng snorted: "So, you will kill him and kill him?"

"Kill him?" Ghost said with some surprise in denial, "No, no, no, I don't have the need for this at all. Since the day I opened the private mine, I knew very well that sooner or later there would be such a day, it would be exposed and seized by the imperial court, and now twenty years have passed, the gold mine has long been mined, and there is no remaining value, plus this Lang Zhong has never known my true identity until now, why should I kill him?"

Zhang Fatzi asked, "Isn't it true that you killed Lang Zhong?" Do you want to deny it now?"

The ghost smiled sadly: "You're right, so far, what do I dare not admit? Lang Zhong did die at my hands, but it was you who really killed him!"

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi both looked puzzled, and they didn't understand what he meant.

The ghost said sadly: "Originally, I didn't want to kill him, he was not a threat to me, and after he attracted the officials and soldiers to seize the private mine, the clue was broken, and the criminal department was able to give an account to the Yellow Emperor, and the case could be concluded, which was a happy ending." It's a pity that you showed up at this time. ”

"You sent a seriously injured Ah Yong to suddenly appear, and I have to be suspicious of your presence. In the past few years, Ye Gongzi's prestige is known to the world, and everyone knows that you are the smartest person in the world, you have solved such a big case in the capital, and you also have a lot of friendship with the Criminal Department, I can't help but wonder if you are the person entrusted by the Criminal Department to investigate my true identity. ”

"As soon as you arrived, I found that Ayong had revealed a lot about me and the situation here to you along the way, which made me feel dangerous. Maybe my plan can be hidden from a stupid person like Ah Yong, but whether I can hide it from you Ye Gongzi, I am not sure in my heart. In addition, Yegongzi seems to have a close relationship with the Shuzhong Tang Sect that is now in full swing on the rivers and lakes, which makes me have to be vigilant, so I have to start. ”

"First of all, I want to poison Ah Yong and lead the suspicion to the two of you, so that I can justifiably drive you out of the Zhu family's mansion, keep you away from here, and avoid you from discovering the secrets here. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but ask at this time: "We have already checked the medicine residue that night, and it was not poisoned, and he drank the medicine in front of us, when did you poison it and how did you do it?"

The ghost smiled smugly: "Poisoning the medicine while boiling it, such an inferior method is really stupid, as long as you check the medicine residue a little, you can find it, of course I won't do such a stupid move." Do you remember when this kid came with a medicine fire, I used to test the temperature of the medicine bowl?"

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi nodded while thinking back to the situation that night

They were also touched by this kind old man's careful gesture.

Ghost said proudly: "Actually, the poison powder is hidden in my fingernails, and when I tested the temperature with the back of my hand, I secretly flicked the poison powder into the medicine bowl. You didn't expect such a trick, did you?"

The ghost laughed proudly, Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be secretly frightened in their hearts, such a poisonous method was indeed unpredictable and unguardable.

"It's just that the amount of poison I gave is not heavy, I can't let him die of poison on the spot after drinking the medicine, this result is too obvious, so I control the time of poisoning to the next morning, so that there is enough time, and I can better lead the suspicion to you. ”

"Everything is going well, although Ah Yong is not dead after taking this poison, but it is just a matter of lingering, sooner or later. And everyone also hit your suspicions, taking advantage of this situation, I ordered you to be evicted, and drove you out of the Zhu family's mansion, no one will suspect me at all, everything is perfect. ”

"It's a pity, you two are really troubled people, I never expected you to turn around and go to the Lang Zhong who had just finished the quarrel, although I don't know what he said to you, but your next move has already explained, it was he who instructed you to find the fat shopkeeper of the pharmacy to investigate the source of the poison, follow this clue, you will find me sooner or later, this mouthy Lang Zhong!"

The ghost scolded sadly and hatefully, and said: "I immediately arranged for the fat shopkeeper to leave, but who knew that he was intercepted by you at the entrance of the town, and as soon as this soft bone was frightened by you, he told everything he knew." Luckily, I'm so cautious that even the shopkeepers don't know who I really am. However, for the sake of safety, I still got rid of the fat shopkeeper, and then turned around and killed the mouthy Lang Zhong. ”

He asked faintly, "You say, isn't it your curiosity that killed them?"

Ye Feng's eyes appeared in front of the fat shopkeeper and Lang Zhong who were killed by cutting off their hands and tendons, his eyes were sprayed with anger, and he asked: "Next, in order to extinguish your mouth, you also gathered the rest of the shopkeepers and poisoned them?"

Ghost nodded and said: "That's right, although none of them know my true identity, but the master and servant, after twenty years of getting along, have they found some doubts from me, and what kind of guess I have about my identity, I am still a little worried about this, so it is better to simply kill them all and end up clean." After all, only the dead are the ones who are truly the best at keeping secrets. ”

"I just didn't expect that you would find Xiaolou at this time, but it was a little unexpected to me, and what surprised me even more was that your Ye Gongzi was not only extremely smart, but also so powerful in his knife skills, even my carelessness hurt your hand, which directly led to my failure to rush back to the Zhu family's mansion in time, so that you broke through the secret here and saw through my true identity. ”

"That's what you're talking about?" Ye Feng waved the small piece of paper in his hand that was torn into a human shape, "Actually, this technique of yours is not unusual, and the shadow drama on the street also uses this principle." But you forget, although the figure projected by the piece of paper can be real, it is a dead thing after all, it will not move, and no one can stay in a position for so long, so in fact, I have long been suspicious of this shadow. ”

The ghost smiled sadly: "Thank you Ye Gongzi for reminding me, I will definitely find a way to solve this problem next time." ”

Zhang Fatzi snorted angrily: "Next time? Do you want to have a next time? Now that you have revealed your true form, do you still want to continue to deceive the world?"

"The true form is revealed?" said with a sad smile, "Except for the two of you, who else knows this secret now? After tonight, you and the poisoned Ah Yong are all dead, and who in the world will know the truth? After dawn, I am still the Zhu Dashan who is admired by all people, and you, this time, from this world, will disappear forever with the secret."

Lose. ”

His smug laughter made Zhang Fat Man feel disgusted, and he wanted to step forward and tear him apart immediately, but he couldn't, because the ghost still held the groggy child in his hands.

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, pointed to the poisonous snake on the bed and asked, "He still treats you as a father and respects you very much, can you really kill him?"

Ghost saw sorrow sneered: "For me, there are only two kinds of people, useful and useless, they are all raised by me, but they are just a tool that I can use, and now his death is the most useful for me, just when he gave me back his life, how can I not do it?"

Ye Feng snorted and said, "You passed on his martial arts in the face of a man in black and cultivated him into a top killer, but in fact, you just wanted to use him?"

Ghost saw sorrow nodded: "Yes, speaking of which, he is indeed talented, and he is the most talented in martial arts among the people I have ever seen, so I will secretly teach him martial arts and train him to become a killer." ”

"You must know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and my gold mining will inevitably leak rumors and be known by others, and the interests of gold mines are so big, those black and white people with bad intentions know this secret, and they all want to use it to blackmail and want to get a piece of the pie. ”

"At this time, I often need someone like Ah Yong to help me solve the problems they cause. Over the years, a large part of his business, except for some business he has taken on outside, has been working for me, killing those who know for me, so as to ensure the safe operation of the mine. ”

"And this stupid boy did not have the slightest suspicion of me, and even most of the silver he earned outside was given to me, saying that it was for the purpose of raising these orphans. Poor him never imagined that under my seemingly dilapidated and impoverished house, there was a large amount of wealth hidden, and his money was only a drop in the bucket. ”

Zhang Fatzi's atmosphere trembled: "You actually take advantage of other people's kindness, you villain! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The ghost laughed and said, "Retribution? I have seen too many killings and evil deeds in my life, and if there was retribution, I would have ten lives long ago." I don't believe in retribution, I only believe in money, and without money, I can't even guarantee my survival, so what kind of retribution can we talk about? The bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and this is precisely the truth. ”

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I still have a question. ”

The ghost said worriedly: "You said, anyway, you are going to die tonight, so let you die clearly, and it can be regarded as worthy of you." ”

Ye Feng asked: "For twenty years, you have been bribing the important ministers of the court, using their protection to mine gold mines and amass wealth, with your character, such a big handle, it is impossible for you not to make good use of it and think about your future." So, I guess you must have left behind evidence of their incriminating guilt, and also as a way out for you in the future. Am I right?"

The ghost nodded appreciatively and said, "Accurate judgment, Ye Gongzi really deserves to be the smartest person in the world, and what he said is not bad at all." These high-ranking officials are not only greedy, but also ruthless and ruthless. If I don't have a handle in my hand, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will become the target of their extermination. ”

"So from the very beginning, I have left evidence of the money they received, and I have kept a record of every sum of money they have received in twenty years, and how much they have received each time, and in a way this book is worth more than all the gold and silver hidden under the mansion, which is the real treasure. ”

Ye Feng nodded and sighed: "That's why you must come back here at all costs, not only because you are reluctant to give up the gold and silver hidden here, but in fact, this account book is what you value the most." ”

Oni smiled sadly, "Yes, so you must die tonight." Do you have any other questions now?"

Ye Feng shook his head and sighed, "No." ”

The ghost sank his face and said gloomily, "Then, you can prepare to die." ”
