Chapter 138: One Knife, One Hate
Now, it is the beginning of the lanterns, Gu Louyue and Lingrong have finished their work and returned to Shefu. [Ran^Text^Library] []οΌοΌ
Those who helped in the afternoon were enjoying the food provided by She Mansion at this time, which was also Mrs. She's order.
Gu Louyue thanked these people and left, went to Li Qing's office, tonight Gu Louyue felt that something would happen!
At night, there are still many officials on the street, and tonight there are a lot more than usual, which is decided by Li Qing and Gu Louyue after discussion.
No one has found the butcher's whereabouts so far, Gu Louyue is becoming more and more worried, the other party must have deliberately avoided himself to find him, what did he want to do?
Gu Louyue's thoughts revolved around the three mansions again, which one did it, Gu Louyue could guess, but after all, he had no evidence, and the other party had a wide range of influence in Yangzhou, and wanted to rely on the government to suppress him, Gu Louyue felt that it was not very realistic.
The contemplative Gu Louyue had already stopped at the place where Li Qing was working, the lights here were still on, and Li Qing did not sleep.
When he entered the house, he saw Li Qing reprimanding his subordinates, as if the other party had not done anything well.
Gu Louyue didn't bother others, and waited not far away, waiting for Li Qing to finish the matter in hand, and then he went over.
Li Qing was probably tired, raised his head to stretch his mood, but saw Gu Louyue's lazy expression yawning not far away.
"Childe, when did you come?" Li Qing hurriedly came to Gu Louyue's side.
Gu Louyue rubbed her tired eyes, she was indeed tired enough these days, and she was inevitably a little sleepy.
"I just arrived, I saw that you were busy, so I didn't go over, what's wrong?" Gu Louyue's eyes fell on the guard who was scolded by Li Qing.
The attitude of the guards is extremely upright, and their heads are still low.
Li Qing sighed, and his expression was also a little frustrated: "Except for the Zhao family, the other two families are willing to accept our guards to enter the mansion to protect them, but this Zhao family is unwilling, that guard is the one who goes to lobby the Zhao family, and he is usually quite eloquent, but today I don't know why, this Zhao family does not agree with the guards to enter his mansion." β
Gu Louyue snorted lightly, full of disdain: "Hmph, maybe there is something unsightly inside." β
Gu Louyue could probably guess the purpose of the Zhao family in her heart, the Zhao family bought the murder mansion, there must be something that can't be seen, if the guards enter the mansion and see something that shouldn't be seen, then the Zhao family is afraid that it will be really indefensible.
"Uncle Li, since people don't worry about their own safety, you don't have to worry about anything, just send some guards to patrol not far outside and report the situation there at any time. β
After Gu Louyue finished speaking, she came to the guard who was still bowing her head.
The guard's eyes were aimed at the corner of the white clothes, and he knew that the person in front of him was not his head, and his head had never worn such white clothes, so he couldn't help but raise his head to see who was in front of him?
Gu Louyue had a smile on his face, this was his favorite way to greet him.
Although the guards had seen Gu Louyue, they didn't know what his identity was, only that he had a close relationship with his head.
"What's your name?" asked Gu Louyue with a smile.
His expression was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Gu Louyue asked his name, but he still replied: "Back to Gu Gongzi, my name is Chen Han." β
"Chen Han, well, may I ask you something?"
"If Gu Gongzi has any questions, just ask, I must know everything. Chen Han clenched his hands into fists, and his attitude was more respectful.
Gu Louyue knew that the other party was respectful to her because of Li Qing beside her, and Gu Louyue didn't care about anything and asked, "Did you enter the Zhao Mansion when you went to lobby?"
"Well, I did enter the Zhao Mansion and went to the front hall. β
"Then do you notice anything wrong with the house?"
After Chen Han heard Gu Louyue's question, he fell into a short period of deep thought.
"Oh, Gu Gongzi, what you said so, recalling that time, it was indeed a little strange in that house. β
"Oh, what's weird?"
Chen Han tried hard to recall what he felt strange at the time: "There seem to be very few maids and family members in the house, and Master Zhao was a little restless when he was in the hall, and there were two people beside him that I had not seen before, and those two people were still people with martial arts, and they were not mediocre hands." β
There is only so much information, Gu Louyue also got what she wanted, the only thing that can't be determined is how many masters there are in the Zhao Mansion, those two are protecting Master Zhao in the bright place, but in the dark, how many are in the dark?
"Uncle Li, order to send some more people around the Zhao Mansion, and notify us as soon as there is any noise in the Mansion. β
"Okay. Li Qing turned around and ordered.
Gu Louyue also walked into the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky that was completely covered by clouds, what will happen tonight?
The night is getting colder and colder, and most of the people who occasionally pass by on the street are no longer Anfen people, and most of the Anfen people have fallen asleep.
Tonight, the streets are much more lively than ever.
People gathered in twos and threes, and their eyes looked around, always paying attention to the changes on the street.
These people made those who were active at night puzzled, and those people could see that these people were from the government.
Could it be that there is something that the government will not be able to accomplish tonight? This thought has forced many people who live at night to go back to their residences, and no one wants to provoke the government.
More and more people who should have been active at night have dismissed their plans for tonight's event, and the streets are getting quieter, and the footsteps of a quiet person are so clearly audible.
"Tread, tread, tread. β
The sound of footsteps, step by step, kept coming, the footsteps were heavy, and the amplitude did not change much, presumably this person was walking at a uniform speed.
Several of the guards were nervous, staring in the direction where the footsteps were coming from, their hands already on the hilt of their swords.
"Step!" suddenly accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and then there was no more footsteps, and the guards were even more puzzled, could it be that the man did not move forward further?
The puzzled guards didn't notice that there was an extra shadow behind them, and there was an extra person.
"Poof!", the guard in front suddenly heard the voice coming from behind him, drew his knife and turned around, but he was frightened.
When did this man come to them?
He had a dangling knife hanging from his waist, and one of the guards had fallen to the ground in front of him, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Who are you?" asked the leader of the pair of guards.
He heard the other man's inquiry, and slowly raised his head, those blood-red eyes were so obvious in the dark night.
"Ahh
The guards were all a little nervous, and they were in no mood to pay attention to each other's faces anymore, they were completely frightened by those eyes.
"You, you...... ToγWhat is it ...... Be...... Who?"
The trembling words completely exposed his fearful heart, but the other party still just looked at him coldly and did not say a word.
The guard's knife was held in his hand, but it was trembling, trembling knife, trembling hands.
He moved suddenly, so quickly that they passed out before the crowd could react, and his knife still didn't strike.
He himself said: His sword kills only animals!
At night, alone, alone, with a knife, with a hate.
He came, with his hatred, with his sword, and came!
Master Zhao didn't sleep, he couldn't sleep at all.
The person lying next to him is extremely beautiful, he has already been provoked in the past**, but now don't say**, even the look of her graceful figure is gone.
He didn't dare to close his eyes anymore, he had already had many nightmares in the middle of the night, sometimes a few imps pestering him for his life, and another time a man who couldn't see clearly chased after him with a knife.
"Love, Siyan. He opened his mouth and called out the names of the two men.
"Sir!"
The voices of the two came from the door, and he was slightly relieved to hear it, but fortunately they were still there.
Master Zhao got up and put on his clothes, pushed open his door and walked out of the room, seeing the two people guarding the door, the worry in his heart was alleviated a lot.
These two people are notoriously ruthless characters in Yangzhou City, whether it is their temper or the martial arts of the two, they are not ordinary people can provoke, and it seems to be a wise choice to spend a lot of money to invite them to come and protect themselves.
But is it really a wise choice?
Just a kind of move that Master Zhao thought was very wise, but it was ruthlessly broken by reality.
Love and Siyan looked at each other at first, both with horror on their faces, and the smell of blood, and its heaviest smell of blood, came from the front yard.
"Sir, you go into the house. Love motioned for Master Zhao to enter the room behind him.
Master Zhao didn't smell the strong smell of blood, and looked at Love in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xi Yang also seemed a little anxious at this time, not only did he smell the smell of blood coming from the front yard, but he also felt an oppression, an oppression of martial arts cultivation.
"If you are told to enter the house, you will enter the house, where is there so much nonsense. β
Xi Yang's temper was already irritable, and his murderous aura actually made Master Zhao feel frightened, and he hurriedly retreated into the room.
"What do you think?" Xi Yang saw Master Zhao retreat into the house and asked Love.
"Very strong, and this person has a deep grudge against this Zhao family, we may not be able to win against him. β
Xi Yang nodded, looked back behind him, and knew that Master Zhao was eavesdropping on the discussion between the two of them at this time, and couldn't help but sneer.
His Zhao family is not a kind person, how can Xi Yang and Love be righteous people?
Promised to protect Master Zhao just because the reward given by Master Zhao was very rich, but if there was no life, what else could he do with the money?
Xi Yang approached Love's side and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Later, let's see what the other party's strength is, it's really not the opponent we are planning, we can't put our lives here!"
Love also smiled after hearing this, looked at Xi Yang, and then both looked behind him with idiotic eyes.
There, Master Zhao was listening hard to their conversation, but he was destined not to hear the most critical conversation.
