Chapter 129: The Killer Returns to Xie Akuan
Gu Louyue had been back to Shefu for several days, relying on the rare medicinal materials in Shefu, plus Li Qing and Lingrong's internal injuries many times, her injuries were almost healed.
On this day, Gu Louyue was walking with She Weilan in the backyard of She Mansion, but Li Qing came again.
Looking at Li Qing with an expectant face, Gu Louyue shook her head and sighed that he was really persistent!
"Uncle Li, what are you doing today?"
Li Qing walked to Gu Louyue's side, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said:
"Childe, please think about the entire Yangzhou City and help me catch the murderer behind the scenes. ”
Gu Louyue didn't think about it, shook her head, and rejected his request.
"Uncle Li is not that I am unwilling to help you, but I am not willing to pursue this matter. ”
"Why?" Li Qing said he was puzzled and stood up excitedly.
Looking at Li Qing's stubborn expression, Gu Louyue stomped a few steps lightly before sighing and saying:
"Uncle Li, I did find some useful things in this case, but it was because I found these things that I was not interested in investigating any further, and the result was not as ...... as we wanted."
Gu Louyue's words didn't explain, but how could Li Qing be a stupid person, he could still hear what he said.
Looking at Gu Louyue and Weilan who had already left, Li Qing's eyes were complicated and he didn't know what to think about.
"Brother Gu, why don't you want to help Li Zhutou investigate again?"
She Weilan followed closely behind Gu Louyue, looked at Gu Louyue, who was silent in front of her, and asked.
Hearing that it was Wei Lan who asked herself, Gu Louyue's face habitually put a smile on her face again, and she looked back at this simple daughter.
The hand gently caressed her face, rubbing her somewhat hot cheeks, Gu Louyue said softly:
"Because those who died deserve to die, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, so it's better for us not to get involved too much. ”
Gu Louyue's words, although Wei Lan didn't understand all of them, and some didn't even listen to them, she still blushed and gently snorted.
"Let's go, Lan'er, I've long wanted to finish your back garden, and it's rare to have time today, so please take me around to take a look." ”
After Gu Louyue finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, stood aside and made a gesture of please, and motioned for Weilan to lead the way.
Wei Lan nodded, and then took Gu Louyue and began to wander around in the backyard full of flowers.
The two talked and laughed, and Gu Louyue often deliberately made Weilan laugh, and the atmosphere here can be regarded as joyful.
But a few families are happy, but there are also a few families that are sad!
In the hall of the Zhao Mansion, the atmosphere at this time seemed too quiet, and it was a little weird.
In the hall, except for Master Zhao sitting leisurely on the main seat, there were no other people around.
Mr. Zhao was alone with the teacup in his hand, and the lid of the cup kept making a "bang" sound with the cup, and Mr. Zhao rubbed back and forth like this.
He seemed to be waiting for someone, and his eyes glanced out of the door from time to time, but everything was still so quiet and there was no sound.
It seems that he has been waiting for a long time, but Master Zhao finally remembered that he was still holding a teacup in his hand, raised his head and drank all the tea in the teacup, at this time he was not in the mood to taste the quality of this tea.
As he looked up, a gust of wind blew through the hall, and it was weak and did not last long.
But he knew that the man he was waiting for was coming.
Sure enough, on the first chair to his left, a man wrapped in black appeared.
It was a man so tightly wrapped that only a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a nose were exposed to the air, and the rest was wrapped in the black clothes.
"You're looking for me!" his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't tell his age.
"Well, I'm looking for you. ”
Master Zhao's attitude was very polite, without the slightest gesture of the head of the family, and he seemed a little humble in front of the other party.
Because Master Zhao understands that the other party is a cold-blooded person, if he accidentally offends him, I am afraid that this huge family business will be unblessed.
"Tell me, who do you want to kill?"
His tone was cold and direct, and he didn't like to beat around the bush when they spoke.
"An ordinary person. ”
He looked at Master Zhao with some surprise, and ordinary people still didn't bother to make a move.
"This kind of thing can be done by your subordinates, I'm not interested!" he was about to refuse, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Master Zhao panicked, and hurriedly stopped him, making a gesture of three in his hand.
"What do you think of the price?"
"Three hundred?"
There was obviously a hint of fire in his tone, if the person in front of him hadn't cooperated with him a lot, his knife would have already been on the other party's body.
"No, it's three thousand taels of silver. ”
Now he stopped talking, and looked at Master Zhao with a pair of eyes.
"Who the hell is he, you can kill him for this price. ”
An ordinary person, he believes that Master Zhao will not invite him, let alone pay the price of three thousand taels of silver, obviously it is definitely not an ordinary ordinary person, and it may be involved in something not simple.
"Haven't you always been only responsible for killing people, but not responsible for interrogating?" Old Man Zhao didn't want to answer his question.
"That's right, is there anyone else around him besides him, can they do martial arts?" His questioning was just to ask some information about the other party, so that he could plan how to start, and then continued:
"You'd better not lie to me, you should understand what the result of lying to me is. ”
These words are a warning, and Master Zhao naturally understands it.
"This is natural, you and I have cooperated for so long, it is difficult to lie to you. Master Zhao smiled and said: "There seems to be a person who knows martial arts next to the other party, but I don't know the specific strength, the only thing I can tell you is that this person is likely to be the one who killed the son of my family, the Wang family, and the son of the Li family." ”
After hearing Master Zhao say this, his brows furrowed slightly, a little embarrassed, looked at Master Zhao and said:
"The four generals of the Wang family who protected the young master at the beginning were not mediocre, I am afraid that this person's strength is not simple, and I don't need to kill him, after all, he killed your son. ”
Master Zhao's expression did not change, as if he had died as if he was not his own son.
"No, that loser isn't worth my money to hire someone to help him kill the murderer. "Master Zhao really doesn't seem to have any love for the dead son, just like a cat or dog living under his roof: keep you alive, and throw it away when you die, don't care!
"If you don't kill, you won't kill, but three thousand taels is too little. ”
"It's still less!" Master Zhao only felt that it was already a lot for him to spend three thousand taels to buy an ordinary person's life, but he said that it was still little, and Master Zhao couldn't accept it.
"Of course, Master Zhao seems to have forgotten the person who was hiding next to the person you were going to kill, and he made the price of this person go up. ”
After he reminded him like this, Master Zhao remembered that he had indeed ignored that person, and his tone couldn't help but loosen up and said:
"And how much do you want?"
"Five thousand taels!"
"What, five thousand taels, don't you think it's too expensive?" Master Zhao's temper also came up, and when he heard the other party say this, he felt a little difficult to accept.
"Hmph!" he snorted coldly and got up, turned his back to Master Zhao and said, "This is my price, you can not cooperate with me, I don't force you." ”
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little angry, Master Zhao couldn't help but ponder, whether he needed to do it.
After a long time, Master Zhao has been struggling, but he can't wait any longer, and he already wants to walk outside the house when he takes a step.
Looking at him who was about to walk out of the house, Master Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, deal!"
And his footsteps stopped, and there was a twitch in the muscles of his face, as if he was laughing.
"But you have to make sure it's done cleanly and doesn't leave any clues. ”
"Of course. He turned around and spread his hands, he was asking for a deposit.
Master Zhao took out some silver tickets from his arms, but they had already been prepared, and took out some and put them in his hands.
"This is a silver ticket of two thousand five thousand, and the other two thousand and a half will be given to you after the deed is completed. ”
He didn't say anything, he sat down again in his arms, and he hadn't asked where the other party's address was.
......
Gu Louyue, who had accompanied She Weilan all morning, thought that she would have a comfortable nap, but she was disturbed by the spirit of the door.
Looking at the Lingrong who had already laid most of the burden, Gu Louyue looked at the Lingrong who felt a little unfamiliar to herself in surprise.
"What are you doing, bringing such a thing, planning to go out and start a sect?"
Gu Louyue's quipping words provoked Lingrong's white eyes, and he looked at his masterpiece in front of him, with a look of excitement.
"You, Ah Kuan saved you, although She Fu also gave Ah Kuan a lot of money, but I still think you should go to the door to thank people. ”
"Didn't I decide to go to Ah Kuan's house this afternoon to thank you!"
Gu Louyue's defense didn't have any useful resistance to Lingrong, she said very confidently: "That's why, I prepared so many things to thank him!"
"Cabbage is also grateful?" Gu Louyue said, pointing to the cabbage that was still half of her body exposed.
"Oh, isn't that afraid that he will be hungry in his house, so he brought some food, and when he is hungry, he can cook at home?"
"Cooking?" Gu Louyue looked at Lingrong suspiciously, and then asked, "Do you know how to cook?"
"Oh, I can barbecue, you know I'm a great barbecue. Lingrong is like Gu Louyue selling his barbecue skills.
Gu Louyue also nodded and signaled that her barbecue was indeed good, but barbecue was not cooking.
"What, don't you know how to cook?" This time, it was Lingrong who asked Gu Louyue.
Gu Louyue pulled her face away and smiled at Lingrong: "What do you think?"
"Oh, it's trouble...... Lingrong began to be anxious about who to cook, and suddenly caught something and shouted excitedly: "Ah Kuan will, Ah Kuan will definitely cook, you say, right?"
Gu Louyue's expression was very helpless, even the smile was so reluctant, looking at the spirit in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.
Are you going to thank others, or are you going to trouble others, and thanking others is like going on a spring outing.
No, shouldn't I do something, otherwise if I really let Lingrong take this big bag of things, wouldn't I be disgraced.
Gu Louyue thought like this, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, looking at the excited Lingrong, what was he going to do!
