Chapter 67: The Road to the Rivers and Lakes
"Qiao'er girl, you are really hiding deeply!" Zhou Qian coughed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"You already recognized me?" the man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"But it's not that early, it's about after you sent Feihe to assassinate me, and I concluded that it was you!"
"Oh?"
"In fact, after Hu Niangzi was killed by Your Excellency, I have some doubts, in terms of martial arts alone, although Hu Niangzi is not first-class, but her skills are also good, not to mention the worst skills on the ship; and she is suspicious by nature, as the owner of the sixteen flower ships in Luodu, it is impossible not to have some means; So, two questions arise below: why assassinate her, and how to assassinate her?"
"Your second choice is a mouse, a vigilant and defensive assassin, and the most difficult target, but also a lethal one, which is a little weird. β
"I can understand that you assassinated her, or to set up a blame, after all, Brother Tiger has fought with him, or to divert attention and hide your true purpose, but I still don't understand, how did you do it, or how did you gain their trust? I don't understand. β
"I know that there are indeed some shady methods in the rivers and lakes, but the same method is so effective against two people, I have to think about what the connection is. β
"Later, I secretly went to examine Hu Niangzi's body," Zhou Qian's voice was slightly lower, "Although there are many scars, there are no fatal injuries, and they are obviously all scars caused by torture." β
"I thought about it later, maybe it wasn't some 'unique' method, and if the killer could gain their trust, it would have the same effect-"
"At least the look of consternation on the mouse's face before he died can explain itβ"
"What kind of person can temporarily gain the trust of the bustard and the assassin, especially if there are a large number of fierce martial arts heroes on the ship, my answer is a woman, or a cute and cute girl, people tend to put their minds at ease with beautiful and harmless things, especially for these two people. β
"Hu Niangzi is by nature, her identity is natural, she has a strong vigilance against men, but she is more tolerant and merciful to women, if she is not more maintained, the women on her ship may not be able to end well; and it is precisely because she does this that she will offend many people, and she has achieved a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes, but she did not expect that one day she would die in the hands of a woman. β
"The mouse is an assassin, withdrawn by nature, and because of his identity, he has few close friends; it is rumored that the only time the mouse made an exception and violated his principle of 'not killing women and children' was because a few prostitutes forced the girl he bought to pick up customers, he was angry and killed; and if I were a mouse, if there was a delicate and lovely girl on the ship who revered herself, admired what she did, and even admired herself, I think the mouse would let down his guard. β
"There were four women on board, Yi Xie Die, Sun Xiaoniang, Feng Xian'er still has you, of course, the first thing to rule out is you, after all, you were next to me before Hu Niangzi died, now that I think about it, this is really a wonderful move, and Feng Xian'er then ruled it out, first she doesn't know martial arts, and she has no motive, she even ignores the opportunity I secretly gave her, so only Yi Xie Die and Sun Xiaoniang are left, but I have also tried these two people a few times, if it is not clumsy or they are too good at acting, and some times and locations are obviously inconsistent with the murderer, which makes me helpless. β
"Why can't it be Wang Hu?" Qiqiao'er interjected, "Even if there are some doubts, your eldest brother is the most likely!"
"Brother Tiger would never do this!" Zhou Qian said categorically, "Even if I know that he is fighting with the mouse, even if I don't know what his purpose is, I will never believe that Brother Tiger will do this, my eldest brother is definitely not this kind of person! β
"So you deliberately arranged for Wang Hu to pretend to be the murderer, just to lure me into the bait?"
"Yes," Zhou Qian said calmly, "even if there is no Wei Guang, there will be 'Li Guang', 'Wang Guang' and others who will occasionally appear as 'real murderers', but I didn't expect that the Tang Sect and other forces joined forces to put on this good show for me, although it was beyond my expectations, but obviously the effect was better, and your purpose should be to prevent my group from participating in the matter of the First Emperor's Treasure, just killing two people will not complete your task, and it will not make you take money from your employer; β
"And you don't know that before you assassinated Hu Niangzi, Yi Yun had entered his room, because he saw Brother Hu outside the door, after Yi Yun was frightened away, he jumped out of the window and fled, the window must be open, the night was cold and the wind was biting, the water was cold, ordinary people would definitely close the window, Hu Niangzi likes heat and hates cold, even more so. And that night, when Hu Niangzi died, the window was open!" Zhou Qian's eyes burned, "This window must not have been opened by Hu Niangzi, so who opened it?" Since Brother Hu is not the murderer, there is only one explanation, the murderer jumped out of the window and left, and I have observed that all the windows were closed due to the river wind that night, so the murderer only had two ways, to enter the deck or to the stern. So I met you on deck, didn't I?"
"That's smart," Qiqiao said with interest, taking off the black veil, "anything else?"
"And the reason why Hu Niangzi screamed when you were in front of me, I didn't understand, but when I checked Hu Niangzi's corpse, I accidentally found a pinhole-sized hole in the back of his head, in the position of his zenith acupoint, if it is briefly stimulated, it can cause the human body to suffer several times the pain, you injected a large amount of anesthetic into Hu Niangzi after torturing it, and inserted a silver needle into its zenith acupoint, and evacuated after calculating the time, so no one will suspect you, because you are waiting for us, this is the dark !! under the lamp"
"That's a good point, when I killed Hu Niangzi, it was as if you were by my side. "Qiqiao'er is smiling and smiling, and her cute appearance makes people feel distressed, but such a cute girl has done such a vicious thing!
"There is no trace of strangulation at the corner of Mrs. Hu's mouth, and I can't think of any other reason other than that. Zhou Qian sighed and said: You still have a flaw, when you testify against Brother Hu today, you should have received the benefits of Tangmen's uncle and nephew; you know that I am a righteous brother with him, but you are still like this, I think that with our friendship, if you have no inside information, at least you will inform me to sell at a good price, which is not in line with your character. β
"Yes, it turns out that I still have a bit of weight in your heart," Qiqiao'er played with taste: "Why don't you discuss, how about letting me go?"
"I, Zhou Gan, have never been a person who understands righteousness, if you kill someone else, I will open my eyes and close my eyes and let you go, but you killed Hu Niangzi and tortured her so much before you died, you are no longer the cute girl who was just a little greedy for money two years ago," Zhou Qian said word by word: "Killing people pays for their lives, I want to beg for your life for my friends!"
"Hmph, what is Hu Niang, what is she," Qiqiao'er said disdainfully: "A bitch is just a bitch, and she is still self-righteous and pretends to be a good person, and she can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest with a few good words from her sister, I hate her the most! What righteousness! What dignity! What morality! Not even a copper coin is worth!"
"Have you ever tasted the taste of being hungry for seven days and seven nights without food? Have you ever seen a father who sold his daughter for 14 cents? Have you ever seen a woman who goes to bed with a dozen men for a full meal? You have never seen anything !!!?"
"Power, status, men, women, love, family affection, as long as you have silver, what can't you buy? Red Lotus taught me five million taels of silver, and Wei Guang gave me 100,000 taels of silver, this kind of business, fools don't do it, fools don't want anything to play with you!"
"Why do you think I'm going to listen to you talk about this nonsense?" Qiqiao'er smiled coldly: "Because I have already lit the soul-scattering incense around, that's right, it's the kind of colorless and tasteless, which makes people feel weak, I forgot to tell you, this strange fragrance is a hundred thousand taels of silver in the black market, isn't it very expensive? No matter how high your swordsmanship is, what can you do now?"
"Since silver can buy anything, it naturally includes your life!!"
"Your life!100,000 taels of silver!!"
"Fortunately, the old man is far away, otherwise wouldn't it even be worth a tael of silver?" At the bottom hatch, Lou Yuxiao's voice came.
"Haha! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! The people in the rivers and lakes on the whole boat were toyed with by this little girl, and I was almost used as a gunman by her," Fei Yue laughed, as if the conspiracy a few days ago was not what he had designed.
"At least in this matter, the beggars and Wang Hu are innocent. Tu Yue shook his head and walked in. There are also Mo Shaoguan and Wu Zier, two heroes in the rivers and lakes.
"If I don't say that nonsense, how can I prove Brother Hu'er's innocence, you must know that just the day before yesterday, Brother Hu was accused by everyone of being a murderer. Zhou Qian laughed at himself.
Qiqiao'er's heart sank violently, these people are all masters, even the worst of them are Wu Zi'er and Mo Shaoguan are not far from the first-class realm, and they can't win one-on-one.
"No, there is still a chance!" Qiqiao'er was in a clear spirit, "Zhou Qian has inhaled ** incense, as long as he takes the opportunity to control him, and then takes advantage of the chaos to kill Wang Hu, there may not be no chance to turn the tables!"
With a pause in both feet, he used all his strength to rush towards Zhou Qian, his hands flashed, and more than a dozen silver needles shot out, pointing directly at his limbs.
Zhou Qianshi exhibited a trick 'Dark Clouds Disturbing the Moon', which was a sword move realized from the Floating Cloud Hand Disturbing Cloud Style, specializing in guarding against hidden weapons and poisonous arrows, and the qi and blood of his arms were stirring back and forth, making a 'bang-la-la' sound, and the ghost master's sword rolled up the Dao Dao air flow in front of him with a mysterious trajectory.
The air currents deflected all of the silver needles, sending sparks on the surrounding walls. Qiqiao'er was startled, and just wanted to stretch out her hand, she felt a pain in her five fingers!
Blood shot out, Qiqiao'er didn't expect Zhou Qian's sword to be so fast, so fast that it was terrifying.
"This is for rats!" Zhou Qian said coldly, Zhou Qian was almost never angry, no matter what time it was, so that few people knew his tyrannical and crazy side.
'Brush-' Qiqiao'er's arms were cut off directly, and the blood stained the ground red.
"This is for Mrs. Hu!"
Qiqiao'er was finally defeated by pain and fear, she now has something more important than silver, that is, life! her own life! She wants to beg for mercy, she wants to live, but she has never seen this side of Zhou Qian, so indifferent, looking at herself like a chicken and duck waiting to be slaughtered!
"You are from the rivers and lakes, and I am also from the rivers and lakes, then, follow the rules of the rivers and lakes!"
The sword rises, and the head falls!
"Murder pays for life, wounding and breaking armsβ"
"This is the morality ...... the rivers and lakes"
