Chapter 114: The Murderer
Mozhou, suddenly strong wind, wind and sand constantly, the whole sky shows a dull earthy yellow, a low flat building jumps into view, blue bricks and black tiles, dead trees are independent, wood-colored pillars are peeled, the wall above the main entrance, faintly engraved with three words, look carefully to see clearly: Luojiabao.
At this time, Lu Shiqing and the three of them were blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs, and they were escorted by the man in black in a dim and long corridor, and they finally stopped after a long time.
Everyone stopped, the blindfold was removed, and the sudden light made the three of them a little uncomfortable, and it took a long time to get used to it, and what appeared in front of them was a relatively spacious hall, with oil lamps hanging on the stone pillars, emitting a dim light, and in the center was a rectangular table made of stone, and further on, a man in a black cloak stood with his back to them.
The head of the man in black who was in charge of the escort walked forward quickly, bowed to the man, and said respectfully, "Chief, all three have been brought. β
The black cloak waved his hand, and the man in black led the way to retreat, leaving only silence in the room, only the crackling of oil lamps on the walls, and the long silence was almost suffocating.
"Hehe..."Xu Zining pretended to smile lightly, "Uncle Shi, there are still people waiting for us here!"
Lu Shiqing's eyes were slightly deep, but there was an unpredictable smile on his face, "That's nature, we are honored guests!"
Xu Weixiang was a rough man after all, the anger in his heart almost erupted, and he forcibly made pranayama to calm down his breathing, and his tone was a little unkind, "Are you dumb?
The black cloak finally turned around, and the three of them wanted to see the man's face clearly, but they were finally blocked by an iron mask, Lu Shiqing let out a long sigh and smiled helplessly, the black cloak finally reacted, and said in a rough voice, "What are you laughing at?"
When the words landed, Xu Zining's heart sank, and he always felt that the voice of the black cloak had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Wearing a mask and living in a place where you can't see the light, are you tired of this kind of life where people are not human and ghosts are not ghosts?"
"I really admire your courage to be able to speak hard in such a situation. After that, the black cloak instantly burst out with laughter, his voice was gloomy and trembling, Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang hurriedly blocked in front of Lu Shiqing, their brows furrowed, "What are you going to do?"
The black cloak stopped laughing, slowly walked to the stone chair in front of the table and sat down one step away from them, casually pinched the delicate patterned wine glass on the table and looked at it carefully, and then said faintly, "A few people trespassed on my territory, and they still want to ask me what to do, how can there be such a reason in the world?"
As the black cloak held the wine glass in his right hand, his little arms were in an upright state, and the black wide-sleeved robe slipped down, revealing the skin, and a black pattern on the skin caught Xu Zining's attention, this flower was called 'Manshu Sawa', also known as the Flower of Death.
It is not surprising that people who originally lived in the dark had this kind of pattern tattooed on their bodies, but Xu Zining clearly remembered that in addition to Wang Zhuang, who had died in the murderer of his father and mother back then, the other murderer was the person with the flower of death pattern on his arm......
γMemoriesγ
Twelve years ago that night, pouring rain, several black-clothed killers broke into his home, the leader, it was the hall master Wang Zhuang of the Lingye Palace Foreign Affairs Hall, after some 'negotiations', Wang Zhuang ordered to be killed, his father Xu Yiping and Phantom Zhu desperately resisted, after a burst of swords and swords, the husband and wife were outnumbered, and finally fell in a pool of blood......
And Xu Zining, who was only seven years old at the time, was hidden by his father and mother in a cabinet with a hidden compartment and escaped the catastrophe.
The rain fell heavier, washing away the bodies and blood stains of the husband and wife, but it could not wash away the strong smell of blood, and the mortal danger did not pass with the death of the two.
The noisy footsteps outside did not decrease, and with a 'bang!', the door was kicked open, and Xu Zining, who was hiding in the cabinet, couldn't stop trembling, covering his mouth tightly with his little hands, and crying silently.
Wang Zhuang's voice was still unrelenting, "Chief, according to the investigation of his subordinates, they should still have a son who is seven or eight years old. β
"Seek, you must not leave a curse!" was a hoarse and cold voice.
"Yes!" After the man in black got the order, he went from room to room, slashing, slashing, kicking, and using everything he could, but he still didn't find anything.
"Chief, I didn't find it. The men in black came out one by one to return to their lives.
At this time, the leader seemed to have discovered the cabinet where Xu Zining was hiding, and gradually approached the door of the cabinet, the sound of footsteps was approaching, Xu Zining was startled, and hurriedly retreated quietly in the direction of the corner.
'Squeak', the mechanism activated, the cabinet door opened, and a hand reached in, and the flower of death was tattooed on the exposed forearm! Xu Zining trembled and groped the wall behind him, quietly activated another mechanism, and finally escaped the disaster of killing......
These two organs are the masterpieces of his father Xu Yiping, and he has repeatedly taught the young Xu Zining how to use them, as if he knew that there would be such a day......
[End of memory]
Because he had been distracted, Xu Zining didn't hear the conversation of several people clearly, his eyes were slightly red and watery, his whole body was tense, and his hands tied to his outstretched hands were clenched into fists and trembled slightly.
Lu Shiqing on the side seemed to find that his mood was not quite right, even if he was jealous and hateful, he shouldn't have such a hateful look, so he touched him lightly, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Zining came back to his senses, and when the impulsive truth was about to blurt out, he resisted it again, he remembered that Li Zifeng once told him, 'Don't be carried away by hatred, let go of the past and live well', besides, in this case, he can't be impulsive.
After calming down, Xu Zining exhaled a long breath, stared at the black cloak with cold eyes, and said, "The disciple is thinking about how he is going to die. β
Lu Shiqing was noncommittal, he obviously knew that it was not so simple, but he didn't ask any further.
The black cloak seemed a little impatient, put down the wine glass in his hand, and helped the mask, "A few people, what are you muttering?"
Xu Weixiang's urgency came up again, "If you have something to say, let it go, if you have a fart, let us go if it's okay, what are you doing here?!"
The black cloak laughed, stood up and walked in front of Lu Shiqing, and whispered something seemingly unrelated to his ear, "There is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." β
Lu Shiqing's brows tightened, "What do you mean?"
The black cloak rubbed against his body and walked over, "I heard that you are good at poison, I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?"
Lu Shiqing looked at the black cloak with strange eyes, and then smiled faintly, "After talking about it for a long time, I don't even know who you are. β
The black cloak looked at Lu Shiqing gloomily and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, just know the black and white poison." β
Black & White Poison ...... Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang glanced at each other.
"Black and white poisons are a scourge of the rivers and lakes, and everyone will be punished, why should I promise you?"
"At the beginning, Li Zifeng ruined our business in Yancheng, and he was also a member of the Hengshan faction, should you repay this debt?"
Lu Shiqing was taken aback, when Li Zifeng investigated the theft of antique jade, he also heard a little, and his eyebrows gradually deepened, "You are?"
Black Cloak smiled coldly, "We are the merchants who do business with Luojia Restaurant. β
