The Teen Killer really made an offer of compensation that the Captain couldn't refuse.

"Two thousand taels of silver a month, and as long as I live, this money will never be interrupted. ”

Zhong Heng was moving his numb legs, and stopped when he heard this, 24,000 taels of silver a year, not too much, no less, it should be enough to compensate for the humiliation that no one sees, he is really a little reluctant This kid died early, "Do you know that the captain of the city patrol follows the city governor and the city governor every three years, and in a few months, my term of office will end." ”

There is a nominal city governor in Biyu City, and his reputation is not as good as a small hood in Nancheng, Gu Shenwei has heard of it a little, and he never takes it seriously, "As long as the adults are still in the Western Regions, this money will be delivered on time." ”

"I don't even know if I should trust you. ”

"Please believe that you did not get this money by virtue of your official position, but by knowledge and experience, and I will always ask you for advice again. ”

This sounds a bit arrogant, and it seems to be a very clever flattery, Zhong Heng thought about it and decided to accept the latter impression, so he smiled: "I can't imagine that someone still values me as a mediocre official, hey, I believe in you." ”

As soon as it was dawn, Gu Shenwei sent Zhong Heng downstairs, Lord Du Wei was in a hurry to leave here, and turned around at the door again, "I haven't pursued this case since then, but if I want to check the clues, I will try to find the personal servant of the Marquis Gao." ”

The Xu siblings came out of the bedroom downstairs and were quite frightened, the kidnapping of the city patrol captain was not in the plan they had heard beforehand.

"Are you okay?" Xu Xiaoyi wanted to act fearless, but his voice seemed unconfident.

"It's fine. Gu Shenwei's voice was truly calm, but he was not completely sure of Zhong Heng's understanding, he didn't know how much money could help, and he didn't know how high the status of the city patrol captain was in Biyu City, this was a reckless action.

"Lord Zhong is a good person...... Xu Yan said timidly, as if all the guests who had prostituted her were good people.

"When Marquis Gao came to Nancheng, he took a personal servant, Xiaoyi, to inquire, find where he is, don't disturb him. ”

Zhong Heng's reminder is valuable, Gu Shenwei ignored this clue, although he has been reduced to a slave for more than two years, his thinking habits are still branded as the little master of the Gu family, slaves are an ambiguous group to him, and he rarely receives attention as an individual, just like the master in the stone castle treats him.

Xu Xiaoyi went out to ask for a day, but no one knew the whereabouts of this servant, it stands to reason that once the master died, he had no financial resources to live in the north city, and he would definitely stay in the south city, but he disappeared, as if he didn't care about the death of the master, and he didn't actively look for the next master.

"Maybe he has a way to go directly to the new master in Beicheng. Xu Xiaoyi guessed.

Gu Shenwei felt that this was possible, but he believed that this servant knew some hidden secrets, so he hid, and he asked Xu Xiaoyi to continue to inquire, and he returned to the Kunshe stronghold to deal with daily affairs with Tuo Nengya.

The war is still going on, and the Kunshe is still very vigorous, only a few people have found that this side has shown defeat, and Tuo Nengya is one of them, "There have been no new merchants coming to take refuge for three consecutive days, and the resources that can be developed have been exhausted, so if this continues, I'm afraid our money won't last long." ”

More than 100 high-priced swordsmen need more than 20,000 taels of silver per month, plus other miscellaneous expenses, nearly 30,000 taels of silver, and the money collected by Kunshe from various channels is only a little more than 20,000 taels, Gu Shenwei is now using Tie Hanfeng's inheritance to fill the shortfall, this is not a long-term solution.

"We have to think about a truce. "In this way, you can do a normal escort business, and you can also drastically reduce the number of knife hands." ”

"It's up to the Tenth Prince to decide. Gu Shenwei didn't care about money, he wished that this war would last forever, the bigger the trouble, the better, if the traitor could be found, it would definitely greatly arouse Shangguan Ru's fighting spirit.

After the matter of the knife hand was dealt with, the lotus girl brought an unexpected news, which made Gu Shenwei both excited and confused.

"Jing Nu wants to see you, he has something to say. ”

Among the ten young killers selected by the Ten Sons, Mustang and the other five formed their own gang, Liuhua was alone, and there were four members of the former "Arm Slave Gang", which was considered another faction, and as soon as the Yuan slave died, there were only three people left.

Jing Nu didn't sneak to see Huan Nu until the second watch in the evening, and there were only two of them in the room, and as soon as they met, they knelt down on one leg and bowed, as if the person standing in front of them was a young master surnamed Shangguan.

You have to be extremely careful when dealing with killers, even if you are facing people from your own faction, you must behave like a pampered and not surprised, Gu Shenwei nodded and hummed, indicating that he accepted the other party's respect, but took a step sideways and moved out of the way, indicating that he was not qualified to accept this kind of courtesy.

"Huannu, you have to save me. Jing Nu stood up, panicked like a killer.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Gu Shenwei asked, the Dutch girl was only responsible for passing the word, and Jing Nu did not reveal the details to her.

"Someone killed Yuannu, and they want to kill me. ”

Gu Shenwei frowned slightly, killers are in the business of killing people, and naturally they will always face the danger of being killed, if they don't know this clearly, they are not worthy of being a killer, he hopes that those who follow him are strong, not poor worms who are frightened by death.

"I'll protect you, as long as you tell the truth. ”

"It's Boy Rain. ”

Gu Shenwei's heart was shocked, but his face was still silent, waiting for Jing Nu to continue.

"It was a year ago, and one night I went out on a mission with Yuannu, and when I came back, I saw ...... We heard someone talking in the alley outside, it was very late, and we were a little suspicious, so we eavesdropped on a couple of sentences. There is a person who is Yu Gongzi, I can hear her voice, and there is a man, I don't know who it is, the two first whispered, and then they quarreled, without a few words, Yu Gongzi found that there was someone nearby, so he asked that person to shut up, and I and Yuan Nu quickly ran away. ”

"What are you arguing with that man?"

"I don't know, they talk very fast, I didn't hear clearly, it seems to have something to do with money. ”

"Well, you two ran away, and then what?"

"I thought that Yu Gongzi didn't see the two of us, but the next day she came up and said a lot of good things to make us ...... Keep an eye on your whereabouts. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't say anything, he didn't believe that anyone was right, Jing Nu and Yuan Nu used to be the core members of the "Arm Slave Gang", and they were still very loyal after the apprentice was killed, but they would still rebel under the lure of Yu Gongzi.

Jing Nu didn't say how they answered Yu Gongzi, and Gu Shenwei didn't ask.

Go on. ”

"And then there was the assassination operation the other day, and we ...... told Yu Gongzi, I didn't expect her to kill everyone, if you hadn't decided to cancel the operation temporarily, the second person to die would be me. ”

"You can't suspect Boy Rain without evidence. Gu Shenwei said lightly, knowing that it was a big fish that came to the door this time.

"I'm not guessing out of thin air, just after Yuannu died, Yu Gongzi found me again, and pretended to say how sorry it was that Yuannu died, and said that it was all because of your poor command, too hasty planning of the action, and loopholes. Huan Nu, we are all killers, I know what those hypocrisies are, as soon as she opened her mouth, I understood, this is to temporarily stabilize me, so as to find another opportunity to start. ”

Gu Shenwei did not remind Jing Nu that Yu Gongzi's first hypocrisy deceived the trust of the two.

"What do you want me to do? Help you pass the word to the Tenth Prince? But you don't have any evidence. ”

"No, no, I don't want the tenth prince to know about this, she and the rain prince are as good as one person, I only seek your protection. ”

"I don't have the skills. ”

"You have. Jing Nu knelt down on one leg again, looked up at Huan Nu, and there was an eager look in his eyes, as if the praying person had received a response from the gods, "Huan Nu, what you are doing is unknown to others, but we can all see it." It's only you, Yu Gongzi has always wanted to kill but can't, only you can share a trust with the tenth son. I am willing to swear allegiance to you, and I would rather put my life in your hands than be secretly killed by the rain boy. ”

The killer will not swear allegiance to another killer, which is not in line with the rules of the stone castle, and if it is known to the masters of the Shangguan family, it will be a capital crime.

Gu Shenwei took another step sideways, avoiding Jing Nu's kneeling salute, and he hadn't decided whether to trust the other party or not.

"I can protect you. ”

Jing Nu was overjoyed to kneel down again, but Gu Shenwei pulled him in time, "But you must know that this is almost equivalent to openly challenging Yu Gongzi, she will be more anxious to attack, and besides, you have also passed on the danger to me and Henu." ”

"There's only one way, isn't it?"

There was something in Yuannu's expression that Gu Shen didn't like, it was a desperate madness, this kind of madness was powerful, and it might ruin himself and harm others.

"You don't have to think of a way, what you have to do is to follow me all the time, from now on you are the killer of my group, except for the Lotus Girl and me, don't trust anyone, some people say that the tenth prince wants to see you, let him come to me, some people say that a certain young master declares you to return to the castle, and also let him come to me. If you want me to protect you, just listen to me and don't think anything until I let you act, understand?"

"Understood. Jing Nu finally calmed down, and the nature of the killer came into play, and since someone was responsible for his life, he could once again wield a knife and kill people without any worries.

Jing Nu brought an extremely important piece of information, he himself did not have enough understanding of its importance, Gu Shenwei did not fully understand it for a while, he knew that he had a clue that could uncover all the mysteries, the key was how to use this clue to expose the true face of Yu Gongzi.

Jing Nu's defection was a public break with Yu Gongzi, and Huan Nu's acceptance was a more fierce provocation, and the balance that Gu Shenwei had been carefully maintaining was broken.

Yu Gongzi has already made a move, it's time for Huan Nu to launch a counterattack, he doesn't have much chance to try, he must hit with one blow.
