There is nothing more dreary than the twilight of winter, when everything looks old and lifeless under the grey canopy, and even the sparrows on the bald branches are drowsy and shivering in the fierce north wind. Especially the people living in the capital of Luoyang, they feel that the streets and alleys are miserable and cold, as if the unbearable and desolate hell has moved to the world in advance. In such weather, even Mr. Nong Miaosheng, who was in charge of the Changsheng Dao in Luoyang Capital, felt the ruthlessness of the world!

It's been a long time since he's stabbed! The more a profession like his is in times of peace and inaction, the more he loses his value, and the more chaotic the world and the thieves are swarming, the more important his work is -- the officials look for him ********, and the people beg him to be merciful!

Immortal Knife - One Knife Man Immortal!

Yes, he is the number one executioner in the capital, a man who specializes in killing people, his immortal knife is extremely strange, extremely sharp, there is no blood groove, it is shaped like a kitchen knife, but it is longer and wider than a big knife, and the blade is three inches long, and the knife falls off a person's head!

It is said that the flame of such a person is extremely high, even if he sleeps in the ghost domain capital of mass graves at night, he is not afraid, because the living are afraid of him, and the ghosts are even more afraid of him; however, the twilight weather in front of him is overcast and roaring, but he is discouraged by the twilight weather in front of him! He wanted to walk around the streets and alleys, and he had already dispelled his empty mood of being bored lately, but when he looked at the gloomy and bleak weather outside, he also shook his head with a depressed face and closed the courtyard door.

Just as he was about to enter the house, there was a knock on the door behind him!

The impatient knock at the door conveyed to him a piece of good news -- a piece of good news that business was booming! Normally, there would be only two kinds of people knocking on the executioner's door; one was the person sent by the government to tell him when he was going to execute a prisoner. The other is that the relatives of the person who is about to be executed come to him and ask him to sharpen the knife faster, so that the relatives of the supplicant will not suffer too much pain when they are tortured!

But whether it was sent by the government or the relatives of the people who were about to be tortured knocking on the door, it was good news and good news for him! So he stopped in the corridor and withdrew his hand that was about to push open the door. Then a very uneasy smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the dim sky, and at that moment he seemed to think that such a day was quite emotional! He walked briskly down the stone steps, and happily walked through the empty courtyard, and opened the door of the courtyard excitedly.

And then he saw a man—a familiar face—a face that shouldn't have been outside his courtyard gate. The person who came had a three-sheep beard, thin eyes and a thin face, as if the flesh of both cheeks had been bitten into his mouth, and it looked very deeply dented. It's just that his expression is very pleasant, which makes people feel that although this thin face is in the season of cold winter and wax moon, it shows the joy of spring flowers.

Nong Miaosheng couldn't help but blurt out:

"Hu Yuanwai!"

The other party took the initiative to raise his hand to salute, which proved that the comer had something to ask him, and Hu Wei said:

"Mr. Nong, I haven't seen you for a long time!

"Of course you can!" Nong Miaosheng said enthusiastically, "Lord Hu, please!"

So he let Hu Wei into the courtyard, then closed the courtyard door, waved his hand and said:

"Please!" he took the lead and led the way, walking towards the house. His friendship with Hu Wei has always been good, but at this moment, he can't think of the purpose of his visit.

The executioners were all widowers at the time, because the traditional belief was that marrying a wife would destroy his yang fire and cause him to be tormented by resentful ghosts, so he was the only one in this empty mansion and a knife - an immortal knife that was designed to cut off people's heads.

Walking in the door, Hu Wei immediately went to his sleeve pocket, took out a silver ticket with a face value of five hundred taels, put it on the table, looked at the empty and deserted atmosphere of his house, felt out of place, and wanted to leave early. Therefore, he hurriedly dragged Nong Miaosheng's sleeve and prevented him from pouring tea, while saying:

"Don't bother, Mr. Nong! I still have something to do, hurry back and deal with it." In fact, he is a foreigner who eats idle meals every day, and there will be something wrong with him, but it is just a pretext that he wants to leave this place early.

"Master Hu, it's rare for you to come back, you can't leave without drinking a sip of water!" Nong Miaosheng said, "This makes me how willing." ”

"Alas, we're old friends, and we'll see you if you're polite!"

Seeing him say this, Nong Miaosheng had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey, because he pointed to the silver ticket on the table and asked:

"Lord Hu, this ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Hu Wei laughed and said:

Tomorrow outside the west gate of Luoyang City, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I implore Mr. Nong to show his skillful skills to make up for the heavens, so that he can suffer more sins in the world, so as to relieve my deep hatred!"

When Nong Miaosheng heard this, he was in a fog, because he had not received any news from the government so far, so he asked tentatively:

"Master Hu, I must have made a mistake! The contemptible people have not received any dispatch from the Yamen so far, so why do you want to say that you will go on a business trip to the west gate of the capital at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow?"

So, Hu Wei laughed and said:

"It's no wonder that Mr. Nong doesn't know why, presumably before dark, there will be a dispatch coming!" Speaking of this, he excitedly stroked his beard and said, "Here's the thing, in the morning, the thief Wu Shuang was arrested in the Taishi Mansion, and the Taishi in order to repay her third daughter Xu Zixuan for her illicit affair with him, specially ordered the supervisor to behead Yin Song Xiwen of the Kaifeng Mansion, and quickly beheaded the offender Wu Shuang ......at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow."

"Wu Shuang has been arrested!" Nong Miaosheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Yes!" Hu Wei couldn't help but say with joy in his heart, "Finally, one of our wishes has been granted!"

However, Kaifeng Mansion had its own executioner, and Nong Miaosheng couldn't understand how this errand could fall into his hands, so he asked:

"Since it is Yin Song Xiwen of Kaifeng Mansion, what is the use of Lord Hu not asking for help from their people?"

Hu Wei laughed and said:

"Speaking of this errand, Mr. Nong really wants to thank me!"

"Oh!"

"It's this privilege that I personally went to the Taishi Mansion to ask for from Taishi Xu!" Hu Wei said, "After all, it's easy to do things yourself!" he said happily to Nong Miaosheng.

Nong Miaosheng suddenly realized, nodded and said:

"I see, I really want to thank Lord Hu for taking care of me!"

"I can't talk about it," Hu Wei said, "and when the time comes, I will ask Mr. Nong to relieve my hatred!"

"That's a matter of course!" Nong Miaosheng asked again, "When the time comes, Master Hu will definitely go to the Dharma field to watch it in person?"

"I must go, rain or shine!" Hu Wei said, "I also specially explained to the house slaves, brought a basin to hold blood, I want to drink his blood, eat his heart, and avenge my son and my righteous brother Cui Zhouping!"

"Cheng!" Nong Miaosheng asked angrily, "Master Hu is going to ask me to give him a few knives?"

"It's best to be able to do it with a thousand cuts!"

Nong Miaosheng saw his triumphant expression, and promised:

"Success! The contemptible person will definitely live up to the trust. ”

Hu Wei left, smiling and leaving with a satisfied wish. Nong Miaosheng stood at the gate of his courtyard and watched him happily walk out of the alley and turn into the street. Only then did he look up at the sky, and at this time, the night was thick! )
