Du Xiaoqi was drinking again. Not in the restaurant, but on the boat.

The famous ancient town of Baiguan, popular boats sell wine.

Du Xiaoqi likes to drink "daughter red", and he only drinks "daughter red". Among all the boats in Cao'e River, only the "Yan Return" boat sells Shangyu's authentic local "daughter red", so Du Xiaoqi must be there.

As a killer, it's not always easy to find, which isn't a good thing. And Du Xiaoqi is an exception, he likes others to find him. He said that this is a business, and he will only have a business if someone else comes to his door.

Killer is a profession,

Killing people is also a business!

The fact that he is alive shows that he has not missed a single shot. If the killer misses, he will lose not money, but life!

He began to admire his sword.

The sword was his other life.

The sword can be without him, but he can't live without the sword.

Without a sword, he can't kill people, if he can't kill people, he can't make money, if he can't make money, he can't drink, if he can't drink, he can't live.

The sword is cold, his face is cold, and the air is getting colder!

Suddenly, his gaze quickly moved away from his sword and towards the river.

A dark shadow swept over the river and landed gently on the bow of the ship.

Du Xiaoqi didn't raise his head and asked, "Your Excellency is here to talk about business?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "It's really refreshing!"

Du Xiaoqi's tone was still cold: "Price?"

The man in black held out four fingers.

Du Xiaoqi asked: "Forty thousand taels of silver? It seems that the other party is a character, sign up!"

The man in black said unhurriedly: "It's not 40,000 taels of silver, it's 40,000 taels of gold!"

40,000 taels of gold can buy a mansion and marry three wives and four concubines.

Du Xiaoqi's eyes were like swords, sweeping towards the man in black.

The man in black said, "You heard it right, it's 40,000 taels of gold, would you refuse such a deal?"

Du Xiaoqi said: "I don't seem to have a reason to refuse!"

The man in black applauded, "Happy!" After speaking, he took out a paper ball from his sleeve and floated towards Du Xiaoqi.

Du Xiaoqi stretched out his hand to take it and spread it out to take a look. His face changed slightly.

There are not many people who can make Du Xiaoqi's face change.

Because there is a thunderous name written on the paper ball: Money and Prosperity!

In Jiangnan, as long as there are people with eyes and ears, there is no daimyo who does not know money. Qian Caiwang has such a big reputation, in addition to the rich side, it is more of his good deeds. Every year, he receives countless people from him.

How can such a good person have enemies?

But now someone is offering 40,000 taels of gold to buy his life!

This man must be crazy!

Du Xiaoqi is not crazy, but Du Xiaoqi seems to have decided to do it now. For two boxes of deposits were placed under his feet, which weighed down the ship a little.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the two parties agreed to be the deadline.

So far, there are only people Du Xiaoqi doesn't want to kill, and there is no person that Du Xiaoqi can't kill, and the money is prosperous, will it be his next soul under the sword?

Shao Feihong is a heartthrob.

Her laughing gesture can mesmerize a bunch of men.

So her teahouse is getting bigger and bigger, and the guests can always fill any corner of the teahouse.

But today, it seems, her mind is not on soliciting business. Passing through the bustling lobby, she dodged into the inner hall.

This is where she usually rests. Although it is simple, compared to the noisy outside, it is rare to have a quiet place.

There was a man waiting for her in the inner hall.

Maybe no one will believe that this man is Du Xiaoqi!

"How long has it been here?" she asked, skillfully helping him make tea.

"Just came. He replied.

"You seem to have taken on a big deal?" she continued.

Du Xiaoqi's cold face still didn't have any expression.

"You're smart!" he praised.

"If it weren't for big business, you wouldn't come to me. Shao Feihong said with a smile.

Du Xiaoqi looked at her and didn't speak.

"Tell me, who are you going to inquire about this time?" asked Shao Feihong.

"Money!" Du Xiaoqi's mouth popped out of these three words.

Shao Feihong's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, and the water in the cup splashed a few times.

"You want to kill Qian Caiwang?" Shao Feihong's voice trembled a little because of nervousness.

"I'm going to kill Qian Caiwang!" Du Xiaoqi's answer was very resolute.

"How sure are you that you'll kill him?" asked Shao Feihong.

"I'm not sure, I'm not sure!" Du Xiaoqi's answer was quite smooth.

"If you don't want to kill?" Shao Feihong was a little anxious.

"If I don't have to, I'm going to kill!" Du Xiaoqi's face looked quite calm. 、

"Why?" asked Shao Feihong.

"No why, just for what I want to do, then I will definitely do it resolutely!" Du Xiaoqi replied with a resolute face.

"What do you want me to inquire about Qian Caiwang?" asked Shao Feihong.

"Everything, including when you get up, where you eat, what streets you go to, who you meet, who you're following? Du Xiaoqi replied carefully.

"If the killer does what you do, then the action is really foolproof. Shao Feihong seemed to praise and talk to herself.

Du Xiaoqi took off the burden from his body and threw it on the table, saying, "These are all comforting you!" After speaking, he got up and floated out of the window.

Shao Feihong picked up the burden with both hands, obviously feeling that it was much heavier than before, and when she opened it, it was full of golden gold. This gold could buy hundreds of teahouses like hers.

But she threw them on the table and muttered, "I don't want these, I'd rather you be safe!"

It's a pity that Du Xiaoqi couldn't hear this sentence.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the weather is cold and frozen.

When Du Xiaoqi woke up, it was already past breakfast time. Because he didn't hear Zhang Ahu's broken voice selling roasted cakes.

He stayed in the "Laifu Inn" for ten days, and every day he ate Zhang Ahu's baked cakes for breakfast.

Today, he missed the time to eat the yakiniku, but it didn't seem to affect his mood in the slightest.

Because today is a murderous day for him.

Killing someone is not a pleasant thing, but for a killer, killing someone means completing a task and getting a decent deal for a couple of dollars. Therefore, Du Xiaoqi will never let such a trivial matter affect his mood.

Du Xiaoqi looked at the life record about Qian Caiwang that Shao Feihong gave him.

Every day, it should be the time for Qian Caiwang to go for a walk in the back garden after breakfast. So Du Xiaoqi didn't look anxious at all.

After another hour, Qian Caiwang will go out to the "Thousand Cups of Drunk" restaurant, which is one of the industries he is proud of. It is one of the best restaurants in Baiguan Town and even in the entire south of the Yangtze River. The interior is decorated with a high-sounding atmosphere, and the guests who enter and leave the restaurant are either rich or expensive.

From the "Qian House" to the "Thousand Cups" Restaurant, you need to pass through the three streets of East Street, Middle Street and West Street in turn.

The first street (East Street) was very narrow, and the stalls on both sides of the street were selling snacks and haberdashery, and when Qian Caiwang passed there, he would be inseparable from his four guards and a butler. I heard that each has a unique skill, and the martial arts are unfathomable.

With these five people around Qian Caiwang, it is difficult for Du Xiaoqi to have a chance to start. Of course, Du Xiaoqi was prepared, because the street was narrow, he would send people to find a way to block the intersection, cause a blockage, and divert their attention, as long as there was a slight opportunity, it would become an opportunity for Du Xiaoqi! But Du Xiaoqi also understood that it would be quite difficult to succeed in one blow, so he would also make arrangements for the second street.

The second street (Middle Street) is a famous cultural street in this town, with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wenhan vertical and horizontal, and the long-standing Jiangnan charm can be reflected everywhere on this street. The most stoppable thing is that there is a stage in the middle of this street, whenever the music sounds, the ugly appearance of the end of the Shengdan Jingmo, the applause is thunderous, and the cheers are continuous.

Du Xiaoqi is a smart person, so naturally he will not waste such good resources. So he had already arranged for people to act as a troupe to ambush there, and when Qian Caiwang and his party passed there, he would signal the gang to cause a riot, so that his chance to make a move came again.

Of course, if it still doesn't work out, Du Xiaoqi will have a better plan to put it on the third street.

The third street (West Main Street) is the busiest street in the town. The streets are bustling with traffic and crowds. Silk yarn and satin, dishes and pots, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, baskets and baskets, food, wear, use, a dazzling array of everything.

In such a place where there are three religions and nine streams, and there are many fish and dragons, if you can infiltrate enough people, once you do it, the other party wants to get out of the way, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaoqi let out a long breath. He said to himself: Today, I am going to catch a big fish!

There was no sun, and it looked cold everywhere outside. Everything has lost its luster, but there are two at the gate of the "money house".

The stone lion still maintained its usual majestic momentum in the cold wind.

At that time, a group of people walked out of the "money house".

The first one is fat, with a round head and big ears, but his face is full of red light and he is full of energy. This person is the famous rich man Qian Caiwang.

As soon as he appeared at the door, a family member led the horse.

A person quickly flashed out behind Qian Caiwang, took the reins, and escorted him on the horse. Immediately, everyone jumped on horseback, and the group rode away from the "money house".

As soon as they left, two black figures flashed in the corner of the "Money House" and followed them.

And all this was seen by Du Xiaoqi, who was watching from afar. There was a subtle smile on his lips.

Qian Caiwang and his entourage soon came to the first street.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, but the vendors are shouting and buying and selling without sparing.

Qian Caiwang's brow suddenly furrowed.

He beckoned his hand and summoned the butler's beard to his side.

"Do you see the old and the young selling kites at the intersection in front of you?" asked Qian Caiwang softly.

"Yes, I see. The beard replied respectfully.

"Do you think there's something wrong with them?" Qian Caiwang continued.

"Of course I think there's something wrong with them!" replied Beard without thinking.

"Why do you think there's something wrong with them?" Qian Caiwang asked with a smile, and his eyes narrowed into a line when he laughed.

The beard was also happy, but he still replied very seriously: "How can there be a kite seller in Layue!"

"It's not just Layue who sells kites, but they all seem to be rushing to buy them!" Qian Caiwang added.

"Sir, are we going to stop and watch carefully before we go over?" asked the beard.

"No, the people who instructed them will send them away themselves!" Qian Caiwang said with a smile.

"Yes, this kind of trick can't deceive people, it only makes people laugh!" said the beard disdainfully.

While Qian Caiwang and Hu Xu were talking, Du Xiaoqi had already walked quickly to the side of the group of kite sellers. His face looked embarrassed.

The gang was still working very hard to do business, but when they saw Du Xiaoqi, they all stopped.

Du Xiaoqi said in a low voice: "I can't even cheat, what a bunch of wretched!"

The gang looked at Du Xiaoqi in horror and surprise.

Du Xiaoqi grabbed a handful of broken silver from his arms, threw it between them, and said, "Withdraw it all for me!"

The gang beeped and disappeared.

Du Xiaoqi was about to turn around, and the two men in black immediately approached him.

One of them asked, "Why did you withdraw without moving?"

Du Xiaoqi glanced at them coldly, and said disdainfully: "There are really not many wrecks in the world today!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back!

"You ......" The man in black looked furious, but his waving arm was firmly grasped by the other man.

As soon as Qian Caiwang reached the street of the second street, he heard the deafening sound of gongs and drums.

"Master, the troupe's singing has begun. Beard reported.

"What day is it?" asked Qian Caiwang.

"Eighteenth of the lunar month!" replied the beard.

"Interesting!" Qian Cai said.

"This matter is a bit strange, do you want to send someone to inquire first?" asked the beard.

"No need!" Qian Caiwang finished speaking and glanced at the four guards.

The four guards comprehended and clapped their palms almost at the same time. I could only hear that the four pillars of the stage were broken apart. There was a loud "boom", and the entire stage collapsed in an instant, only to see dust.

"Today is an extraordinary day. The beard looked at the unrecognizable stage.

"Quite unusual!" Qian Qian Wang is also intriguingly authentic.

"Sir, are we going to 'get drunk in a thousand cups'?" asked the beard.

"Of course, I really want to see where they come from!" Qian Qian said.

At the same time as the stage collapsed, Du Xiaoqi seemed unusually calm.

The two men in black approached him again.

"Why did they see through it so quickly?" asked one of the men in black.

"Because today is the eighteenth day of the lunar month!" Du Xiaoqi said coldly.

"What do you mean?" said the man in black, confused.

"Only on the first and fifteenth days of the new year is to sing all day operas! Usually only when the sun goes down does the opera begin. Du Xiaoqi said.

The man in black glanced at each other, and then suddenly realized.

I only heard a man in black mutter: "I think Qian Caiwang is rumored to be a good man of money, but it is also in vain." Even if he recognized the flaw, there was no need to be so ruthless. ”

Du Xiaoqi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Have you seen who is being pressed by the collapse of the stage?"

The two looked at the collapsed stage at the same time, only to see the actors crawling out one by one. The face of the man in black changed, and fear painted all over his face.

Because they saw that although the pillars of the stage were broken, the four half-cut pillars still supported the top of the stage. What kind of skill is this? Not only is it quick and accurate, but it is also just right!

West Main Street.

Qian Caiwang walked with ease, which could be heard by the brisk footsteps of his mount.

"It was a lot of fun today. "Money is prosperous.

"yes, it seems to be getting more and more interesting!" said the beard.

"Some people are smart, but some people are smart and mistaken by smart. If it were you, what would you do with this street?" asked Qian Caiwang, looking into his beard.

"I don't know! If I were to lay out this street, I might be able to come up with a thousand ways to do it, but I would never use it! We pass by this street every day, and with our eyes closed, we can guess which next shop is and who will be in charge. But today I was all out of the bag, and I didn't have any acquaintances, sir, are you funny?" said the beard.

"Hehe, do you think we're going to get in trouble on this street?" said Qian Caiwang.

"No need to guess, trouble is already here. Beard said.

As soon as the beard's words fell, I saw a strong wind coming towards me. But I saw two black figures in the air, and two golden steel wires hit the door of Qian Caiwang. If you have poor eyesight, you can't find it. It turned out that one end of the steel wire was in the hands of the two people, and the other end had been thrown in front of Qian Caiwang's door at great speed.

Just when the two steel wires were only ten centimeters away from the door of Qian Cai Wang, they suddenly softened and fell to the ground. There were two screams in the air, and two black figures fell from the kite with a broken string. When he landed, he landed on his knees, and he knelt right at the feet of Qian Caiwang's white horse.

Qian Caiwang's mount was clearly specially trained and was not frightened in the slightest. And Qian Caiwang didn't seem to pay attention to this, and urged the horse forward by himself. The beard and the four guards were inseparable, and they all around him.

All the people on the street are doing their jobs, those who do business are still doing business, and those who shop are still shopping, as if nothing had happened.

Du Xiaoqi came to the two of them.

The man in black was still on his knees, unable to move.

I saw Du Xiaoqi's fingers flick, and two silver needles suddenly popped out of the knees of the man in black, and the two of them struggled to get up.

One of the men in black asked Du Xiaoqi, "When we shot just now, why didn't your people shoot at the same time?" After speaking, he pointed to the crowd on both sides of the street.

Du Xiaoqi said coldly: "If they make a move, it's not just the two of you who kneel on the ground!"

The man in black said: "Then why don't you make a move yourself?"

Du Xiaoqi said expressionlessly: "Go back and tell your master, when I will make a move, you can't take care of it, and I'm not happy that someone in the business I took over is in the way, doing something in vain." You can roll as far as you can. ”

After speaking, Du Xiaoqi turned around in the direction of "Thousand Cups Drunk".
