Around the Guo lotus, the ripples are excellent.

The houses are connected with the hook fang, and the swallow pavilion presses the willow wall.

Scales and households, cloud forest pavilion.

The streets are like stars.

It's a street.

This is the "Wing Fong Street" where the morning dew and sunset rain building are located.

The fame of the morning dew and the rain building is certainly very great.

But it's no bigger than this Wing Fong Street.

On Yongfang Street, there are countless shops and wine flags like fog.

Traffic, horses, fish and dragons come in and out, and the jade flute and gold are full of buildings.

Most of the pedestrians on the road are dressed in emerald hairpins, gold and silver, and the peddlers and pawns are countless.

On this street, you can buy luxurious silk and satin, sweat and blood horses from the Western Regions, calligraphy and painting from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and a bowl of hot noodle soup.

In a small but crowded alley next to Yongfang Street, Xiao Xuxing finished his third bowl of hot noodle soup.

He was very satisfied with the three bowls of noodles.

Although the place where the noodles are sold is not a famous restaurant, it is just an ordinary roadside stall.

Although this is just an ordinary small noodle stall with no tricks, the hot noodle soup it sells is the most delicious.

Because although the noodle stall is ordinary, the proprietress Wang Sanpo is a good noodle maker.

Not bad, like a sword.

How fast the sword can be swung depends on how fast the person wielding the sword can be.

Xiao Xu walked on Yongfang Street.

He played with the turquoise dagger in his hand.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

It doesn't seem to be bothered by the 100,000 taels that were lost.

Could it be that this dagger is worth more than 100,000 taels?

Could it be that this dagger is more important than Li Jiudao's mourning invitation?

If he doesn't say it, naturally no one will know.

He walked leisurely down the street.

Although there were many people on the street, no one paid attention to the man dressed in white and carrying a black box.

After all, he is not a very famous person.

If you are famous, it is really a trouble.

But even though he is not very famous, he is still recognized on this street.

"This son, please stay!"

Behind Xiao Xuxing, a person appeared in the crowd.

It's a woman.

A fat woman.

She ran to Xiao Xuxing's side breathlessly, and said breathlessly: "This son, you haven't paid off the face money yet." ”

Of course Xiao Xuxing knew her, after all, he had just eaten the noodles she made.

Xiao Xuxing smiled and said, "Wang Sanpo, I have already paid, have you forgotten?"

Wang Sanpo said: "You did pay, but the money you paid was not enough. ”

Xiao Xu said: "A bowl of noodles is twenty wen, I ate three bowls and gave you sixty wen, isn't that enough?"

Wang Sanpo said: "Not enough, of course it's not enough, it's still a lot worse." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Isn't a bowl of noodles twenty wen?"

Wang Sanpo said: "Of course, a bowl of noodles is twenty wen. ”

Xiao Xu said: "I only ate three bowls too?"

Wang Sanpo said: "Of course you only ate three bowls. ”

Xiao Xu said: "Then if the three bowls of noodles are not sixty Wen, how much should it be?"

Wang Sanpo said: "It should be 600,000, 600,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the people on the street suddenly scattered and fled.

They looked panicked and hurried, as if they had encountered a haunting demon.

And the third woman Wang, she didn't leave, and she didn't speak again.

Because she couldn't move her feet, and she couldn't open her mouth.

She's dead.

She fell to the ground with a thud.

There was a knife mark on her back.

A very long knife mark.

Xiao Xuxing knew this kind of knife mark.

Not only did he know the scars, but he also knew the knives that cut them.

It was a black knife.

The most terrifying black knife in the Black Knife Hall!

There are no more pedestrians on the streets.

But there was the sound of footsteps.

Voices came from all directions.

Step by step, like a Hades who asks for his life.

In the blink of an eye, the streets were full of people again.

They were dressed in black, with black hats on their heads, and black knives in their hands.

They stood around Xiao Xuxing, not moving.

"Hahaha......"

A rough laugh came from behind the man in black, and the man in black in front of Xiao Xuxing gave way one after another.

There was a man on the road.

He has extremely thick eyebrows, an extremely square face, strong muscles, and a broad chest.

He carried a knife on his shoulder.

A black knife.

He is Huo Meng.

Huo Meng looked at Xiao Xuxing, his eyes burning with anger.

Huo Meng said: "Do you know me?"

Xiao Xuxing shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Huo Meng said: "You don't know me, but I know you." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Where did you meet me?"

Huo Meng said: "I met you in the morning dew and rain building. ”

Xiao Xu said: "It turns out that you also went to buy Jinfeng Guizi. ”

Huo Meng said: "Yes, I also went to buy Jinfeng Guizi. ”

Xiao Xu said: "I understand. ”

Huo Meng said: "What do you understand?"

Xiao Xu said: "I understand why you stopped me. ”

Huo Meng said: "Why did I stop you?"

Xiao Xu said: "Because I broke the Golden Wind Guizi." ”

Huo Meng said: "Yes, you smashed the Golden Wind Guizi. ”

Xiao Xu said: "But you also have to understand one thing. ”

Huo Meng said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Xu said: "That is, even if you stop me, you won't be able to get the Golden Wind Guizi." ”

Huo Meng sneered, "So why did I stop you for Jin Feng Guizi?"

Xiao Xu said: "Do you have any other reasons to stop me?" ”

Huo Meng said: "I not only have a reason to stop you, but also a reason to kill you." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Did I do something evil?"

Huo Meng said: "Is it a bad thing to seek money and kill people?"

Xiao Xu said: "It is indeed an evil thing to seek money and kill people, but have I ever done such an evil thing?"

Huo Meng said: "You have done it, of course you have done it." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Whose wealth did I seek and whose life did I harm?"

Huo Meng said: "You have made my eldest brother's wealth and harmed my eldest brother's life. ”

Xiao Xuxing was puzzled: "Who is your eldest brother?"

Huo Meng said: "You want to buy a mourning invitation from my eldest brother, but you don't know who my eldest brother is?"

Xiao Xu said: "It turns out that your eldest brother is Qi Xiong, the big boss of the Black Dao Hall. ”

Huo Meng said: "Not bad. ”

Xiao Xu said: "Then who are you?"

"He is Huo Meng, the second leader of my Black Knife Hall. ”

A tall, thin man walked out next to him.

He had two long, thin mustaches on his mouth and small slitted eyes under his eyebrows.

"And I am the third master Zhou Gang. ”

Xiao Xu said: "It seems that Qi Xiong is dead. ”

Huo Meng said: "You killed him three days ago and took away his 600,000 taels, today I want you to return it with the money!"

He raised the black knife in his hand.

The black knife was so wide and long and heavy that it would take a lot of effort for ordinary people to lift it.

His knife slashed straight at Xiao Xuxing's door.

Xiao Xuxing smiled indifferently, but he didn't dodge or dodge.

Huo Meng's big knife fell, falling straight towards Xiao Xuxing's front door.

But the big knife didn't cut down.

It stopped in front of Xiao Xuxing.

Huo Meng said: "Why don't you hide?"

Xiao Xu said: "Why should I hide?"

Huo Meng said: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Xiao Xu said: "Of course I'm afraid of death. ”

Huo Meng said: "Since you are afraid of death, you should avoid it." ”

Xiao Xu said: "But I know that you don't want me to die yet." ”

Huo Meng put away the knife and snorted coldly: "You can still do it without changing your face and heart in front of my black knife, you are the first." ”

Xiao Xu said: "After all, I know what you want. ”

Huo Meng said: "I want your life." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Of course you want my life, but you want the 600,000 taels that Qi Xiong threw away." And if I die, you won't get the 600,000 taels. ”

Huo Meng said: "You admit that you killed my eldest brother?"

Xiao Xu said: "You might as well talk about why you think I killed your eldest brother first." ”

Huo Meng said: "You went to the Black Knife Hall three nights ago. ”

Xiao Xu said: "I have indeed been there. ”

Huo Meng said: "You go to the Black Knife Hall to find my eldest brother to buy a mourning banquet invitation." ”

Xiao Xu said: "But the price he offered is too high, I can only ask him to give me a grace for three days." ”

Huo Meng said: "And after you leave, my eldest brother will die!"

Xiao Xu said: "So you think I'm the murderer of Qi Xiong?"

Huo Meng said: "No one has entered my eldest brother's room since you left, who else can you be!"

Xiao Xu said: "You weren't in the Black Sword Hall when I went that day, how can you be sure that no one has entered Qi Xiong's room after I left?"

"Although the second brother is not here, I am here!"

It was Zhou Gang who spoke.

"I had been drinking in the yard that night, and I could see anyone in and out of my brother's room. ”

Xiao Xu said: "What did you see?"

Zhou Gang said: "I only saw that no one went in after you came out, until after a cup of tea, the second brother came back with me to call the eldest brother out to drink, only to find that he was dead!"

Xiao Xu said: "What about his 600,000 taels? His 600,000 taels were also stolen in that tea time?"

Zhou Gang said: "Knowingly asking, this thing was done by you!"

Huo Meng said: "The third brother doesn't need to talk to this guy anymore, let's tie him back first, naturally there is a way for him to spit out the 600,000 taels!"

Xiao Xu said: "Wait." ”

Huo Meng said: "What's the matter? Are you scared? If you explain it honestly and clearly, Lao Tzu can still consider leaving you a whole corpse!"

Xiao Xuxing said slowly: "If you have been to Chaolu Xiyu Tower, you should remember one thing. ”

Huo Meng said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Xu said: "I went to Chaolu Xiyu Tower to get 100,000 taels so that I could buy the invitation in Qi Xiong's hand. If Qi Xiong was really killed by me, then I should have already gotten his invitation, so why bother to go to Chaolu Yulou?"

He has a point.

Although this is only a simple truth.

But the simpler the reasoning, the less likely it is to be refuted.

It's not that the people of the Black Knife Hall don't understand this truth.

So they still decided to stop Xiao Xuxing, and there must be another reason.

Zhou Gang laughed, one of his faces full of disdain.

Zhou Gang said: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the whole of Hangzhou is the territory of my Wudaotang, after you kill my eldest brother, you must know that if you can't clear the suspicion as soon as possible, you will not be able to escape even if you have wings!"

Huo Meng continued: "So you went to Chaolu Xiyu Tower to perform this deceitful play, not only can you clear your suspicions, but also earn 100,000 taels of silver, why not?"

Xiao Xuxing shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not say much.

He turned around and walked slowly to the tea stall on the side.

It was a very clean tea stall.

There were two people in the tea stall at this time.

An old man, a young man.

None of them are from the Black Knife Hall.

The old man is the owner of the tea stall, and the young man is the tea customer.

The old man was carrying his back and boiling a pot of hot water.

The young man was slender and skinny, wearing a blood-red gown and sipping a bowl of tea.

Tea is actually not good, after all, a bowl of tea only costs a penny.

But if there are two people who want to kill you, and they are standing in front of you.

Then no matter what kind of tea is excellent.

Xiao Xuxing sat opposite the young tea guest.

After all, there's only one table here.

The old man immediately poured him an excellent bowl of tea, and then filled the young tea guest's bowl with some more.

Huo Meng was very angry.

He wasn't angry with Xiao Xuxing.

"Where did you two wild dogs come from, don't you get out of here!"

After drinking, the young tea guest put down the tea bowl in his hand and slowly got up to leave.

The old man, however, was still boiling hot water on his own, as if he had not heard anything.

Zhou Gang said to Huo Meng: "This old man is a deaf man, let's solve the business first, and then clean him up later." ”

Huo Meng nodded.

He scolded Xiao Xuxing sharply: "Lao Tzu will ask you again for the last time, do you want to hand over the 600,000 taels now, or do you want us to beat you to death and then hand over the 600,000 taels!"

Xiao Xuxing touched the tea bowl.

The bowl is still hot.

If the bowl is hot, the tea is also hot.

A very hot tea is naturally not a bowl of tea suitable for drinking.

Xiao Xuxing naturally didn't drink it.

He just smiled.

Smiling as always.

He smiled and said, "It seems that no matter what, you will not believe that it was not me who killed Qi Xiong, and it was not me who stole his 600,000 taels." ”

Huo Meng said: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you pay it or not!"

Xiao Xu said: "I really don't have anything to give to you, but I also believe that even if I don't give you 600,000 taels, you won't do anything to me." ”

Huo Meng said: "I won't do anything to you?"

He burst out laughing.

He really felt that this man in white was an extremely ridiculous person at the moment.

"Lao Tzu is now the big boss of the Black Knife Hall, and the whole of Hangzhou is under Lao Tzu's control, why won't Lao Tzu do anything to you?!"

Xiao Xu said: "Just because you have been to the morning dew and sunset rain building." ”

Huo Meng said: "What if I have been to Chaolu Xiyu Tower?"

Xiao Xu said: "Since you have been there, you should know one more thing. ”

Huo Meng said: "What else should I know?"

Xiao Xu said: "You should know that I am a disciple of the Guigu Sect. ”

Huo Meng was stunned.

But this is not a shock.

He laughed again.

The laughter was unusually harsh.

It was a mockery.

Undisguised ridicule.

Huo Meng said: "What about the disciples of the Guigu Sect? With the two moves you made in the Chaolu Yulou, I can't see how powerful your martial arts are. ”

Xiao Xu said: "Maybe my martial arts are indeed not powerful, but the most powerful thing in the Guigu Sect is not martial arts. ”

Huo Meng said: "What is it not martial arts?"

Xiao Xu said: "It's fortune telling." ”

Huo Meng laughed and said, "Are you really a fool, I'm going to kill you, but you still want to tell my fortune?"

Xiao Xu said: "We might as well make a deal." ”

Huo Meng said: "What deal do you want to do?"

Xiao Xu said: "I'll calculate a hexagram for you, if the calculation is accurate, we will do it." ”

Huo Meng said: "Okay, if you calculate correctly, I will let you go." But what if you're not right?"

Xiao Xu said: "If I can't calculate accurately, I will tell you everything that night." ”

Huo Meng was stunned and said, "Could it be that something else happened that night?"

Xiao Xu said: "Actually, after I left that day, I suddenly remembered that I was not the only one who asked Qi Xiong for a mourning banquet invitation, so I turned around and went back to him, wanting to ask him to keep this invitation for me." ”

Hearing this, Huo Meng's eyes widened, and he asked urgently, "What happened after you went back?"

Xiao Xu said: "Although I went back, I didn't go into his room, I only walked into the courtyard." ”

Huo Meng was puzzled: "Since you have already gone back, why did you only go to the courtyard?"

Xiao Xu said: "Because I saw something in the yard. ”

Huo Meng said: "What did you see?"

Xiao Xu Xing smiled, his eyes flashing with two fleeting lights.

"Let me do the math for you first, and if not, I'll tell you. ”

Huo Meng was furious, he really wanted to kill this person.

But he knew that if he killed Xiao Xuxing now, then he might never get Qi Xiong's 600,000 taels.

"What kind of hexagram will you count? Fortune, official luck, or marriage?"

Xiao Xu said: "The disciples of Guigu will not be counted as financial officials, let alone marriage, but will only be counted as the same." ”

Huo Meng said: "What's it?"

Xiao Xu said: "Count life and death." ”
