Chapter 61: Zhu Weiyuan
In a hidden corner of an alley on South Street, Li Shiyi put away his soft sword and stood there in a bloody suit, looked at no one around, turned around and took off the bloody clothes and put them on his body, the original blood-red shirt suddenly turned into a black robe, and at the same time wiped off the decorative foundation on his face, revealing a young and handsome face, with a hearty smile, it was like a different person, even if Qian Ruhui was in front of him, he might not be able to recognize him.
A killer, or a qualified killer, will never let people know their identity on the surface, and cross-dressing and acting are exactly the necessary skills to cover up their identity, Li Shiyi can be said to be a very qualified killer.
Walking out of the corner of the alley, Li Shiyi was like a normal pedestrian walking on the street, occasionally stopping to pay attention to some novel gadgets, it seemed normal, just looking at his direction and speed of travel, it was by no means idle.
After a short time, Li Shiyi had already come to a silk village, where business was chatting, and only a yawning guy was there squinting at the passers-by.
Seeing Li Shiyi, this guy wasn't very excited, but said lightly, "Guest officer, if you want to order something, you can pick it yourself, we are a century-old shop, and the fabrics and satin are all the best hand-knitted." ”
Li Shi nodded and asked, "Has Boss Zhu come back from visiting relatives?"
Hearing Li Shiyi's words, the young man's sleepy expression immediately disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face and came to Li Shiyi, "Boss Zhu hasn't come back yet, but if you want to see Boss Zhu, it's not impossible, the old rules." ”
Li Shiyi took out a silver ingot weighing five taels from his arms and threw it to the guy, this is the rule, and it is also a way to identify the killers of the Bloody Clothes Building, anyway, all the killers who have failed their missions in Xiangping Bloody Clothes Building for so many years will come here, without exception.
The man turned out the silver ingot, smiled and put it into his cuffs, and bowed, "Please come in, I won't give it to you." ”
Li Shiyi's handsome face was a little ugly, he took a deep breath and walked behind the counter, maybe Li Qiuyang was waiting for him there.
Walk through the counter to the inner hall, which is elegantly arranged, there are more than a dozen potted plants scattered in all corners, there is a log red table and a few wooden chairs in the center, and in the easternmost is a shrine dedicated to the statue of the god, the statue is solemn, holding a sword in the left hand, and holding a scarlet relic in the right hand, which is the wooden statue of the first blood-clothed lord.
Li Shiyi gathered his mind, respectfully took down three pillars of long incense from the offering table next to the shrine and lit it, then knelt on the futon and respectfully kowtowed three times, and then a dark secret passage appeared behind the shrine, which was Li Shiyi's destination.
After passing through the secret passage, he came to a dark secret room, where the four walls were all hollowed out and densely packed with files, and Li Qiuyang and an old man with a powerful face and a beard were sitting there drinking tea in bloody clothes.
Li Shiyi looked at Li Qiuyang and breathed a sigh of relief, his face was a little ugly, "My mission has failed." Qian Ruhui's red fire golden body is close to completion, and my killing sword technique may not be able to break his red fire energy. ”
Although Li Qiuyang was wearing a bloody clothes, his elegant bearing remained the same, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said to the mighty old man, "Lord Zhu, as you expected, I lost this time." ”
These words made the old man surnamed Zhu on the opposite side laugh, although the voice was like a muffled thunder, but this secret room was made of special materials, and the voice did not leak a little, "Deacon Li is polite, Zhu just knows more about Miao Lao's immortal red bronze and gold body." ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Shiyi also guessed the identity of this old man, it was Zhu Weiyuan, the deacon of the Bloody Clothes Building in Yuyang County, and the general person in charge of the entire Yuzhou Bloody Clothes Building.
Li Qiuyang looked at Li Shiyi standing there motionless and showed a hint of a smile, "Eleven, I haven't seen Lord Zhu yet." ”
Hearing this, Li Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The subordinates are really worthy of the high hopes of the deacon for the failure of this task, and please lower the three punishments." ”
Zhu Weiyuan twisted his thick beard that was like a steel needle, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You are Li Shiyi, no need to be polite, no need to blame yourself, if Qian Ruhui is really easy to deal with, he will not be a disciple of Miao Old Ghost." ”
Although Li Shiyi didn't know who Old Ghost Miao was, he was finally relieved, and it was good news that he didn't have to be punished three times.
As the name suggests, the three punishments are the three punishments imposed by the bloody clothes on the killers who fail the mission, including burning and waterboarding and the final insect punishment, although the three punishments are not seriously injured, but they will not be much better, at least the pain is absolutely unbearable.
"Zhu Lao, since the eleventh mission failed, then we have to return the Xie family's commission. After all, they asked us to assassinate and kill Emperor Fu Xu, and retreated to other high-ranking members of the Celestial Star Gang, but now none of them have been completed. ”
Speaking of which, Li Qiuyang was also a little depressed, although their bloody clothes building in Yuzhou was notorious for so many years, there were really not many famous people who really assassinated.
Zhu Weiyuan shook his head when he heard Li Qiuyang's words, "How can it be done." Our Yuzhou is remote and weak, far less than other big states, this is a rare big business, and it must not be returned. In this way, you can tell the Xie family, although we can't break the rules of the Bloody Cloak Building, it's not that we can't be flexible. Isn't his Xie family at odds with Huangfu Xu, then we can send a master to help his Xie family, how can a master of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow be worthy of the price they offered. ”
After speaking, Zhu Weiyuan turned his gaze to Li Shiyi, "Li Shiyi, you have failed this task, then you can go to the Xie family to listen to the dispatch until they are satisfied." Of course, during this period, you can't appear in front of people as a bloody house, let alone let Huang Fuxu know, just be an ordinary person for the time being. When you return to the Bloody Clothes Building, the reward commission you should have will not be less, including the next level of the "Killing Sword Technique". ”
Li Qiuyang nodded when he heard Zhu Weiyuan's words, and smiled elegantly, "I wish the old man a good way." Eleven, thank you for your support. ”
Li Shiyi didn't expect things to take a turn for the better, his face was also happy, and he secretly said in his heart, "No matter what purpose this old guy has, I'll eat the benefits first." Anyway, it's just a life of an ordinary person for a while, and there's nothing wrong with it, just to explore the grievances between the Xie family and Huang Fuxu, and count them in one fell swoop. ”
With a hint of gratitude on his face, Li Shiyi clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you for your support, my subordinates will definitely do their best not to disappoint you." ”
Who said that a killer must be a cold tendon? At least he, Li Shiyi, is a smart person who can think, and he is too close to Li Qiuyang, who is elegant on the outside and dark on the inside, and has been affected.
Zhu Weiyuan glanced at Li Shiyi, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "Well, but there is one thing you have to remember, no matter what the Xie family does, don't make a noise, let alone secretly investigate, you must come back and tell me or Qiuyang." ”
When Li Shiyi heard this, he secretly said in his heart.
If you want the commission to be fake, it is true to explore the Xie Mansion, and the Xie family is also unlucky, not to mention the loss of a large amount of silver, and to be beaten, I don't know if it is unfavorable for the passing year.
But on the surface, he still bowed down and answered "yes".
