happy day

In the county government office in Changzhou City, Wang Xinping, the county magistrate, was shaking like chaff, and there was a strong smell of blood in the room. On the bed, the concubine Yan Hong was lazy and cut into two pieces, her lower body was still lying on the brocade quilt, her upper body was lying on the bed. Rolled face down on the ground.

There are two people standing in the room, the man looks like a zombie with an expressionless face, and the woman looks like a witch, charming and evil.

The woman frowned and complained, her voice was as soft as silk, "Damn ghost, you always like to kill people, and you kill them so ugly."

Ling Si turned his head viciously and said to the woman: "Smelly woman, I told you that you are not allowed to call me a 'dead ghost'. Don't you also like to kill people? You kill well, so leave this man to you."

Wang Xinping became even more frightened, knelt on the ground and beat his head, "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life! All the money is in the camphor wood box next to the bed, you two can take whatever you want."

Ah Jiu covered his mouth and laughed, "Ling Si, he took us for robbery."

Ling Si raised the knife impatiently, and the tip of the knife touched Wang Xinping's eyebrows, "Do you know that a man named Shi Lin has been to Changzhou City?"

Wang Xinping stared at the tip of the knife with cross-eyed eyes, and said with a tear, "Changzhou City has a population of [-], and it's a famine year, and there are more than a thousand refugees who come and go every day. I really don't know about this stone. Has Rin ever been to Changzhou?"

Ah Jiu thought about it and said to Ling Si: "That's strange, Twelve's assassination target is Wu Luan, he didn't complete the assassination mission in the capital, why did he come to Changzhou City? He died in the woods outside the city."

Hearing the word Wu Luan, Wang Xinping acted as if grasping at the straw to save his life, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Guo, Wu Luan escorted the food and grass for disaster relief to Changzhou City two months ago."

"Oh? That's no wonder." Ah Jiu raised her slender eyebrows.

Ling Dada waved his sword, "Did something happen to Wu Luan in Changzhou City? If there is a half-sentence concealed, you will definitely have to move your head."

Wang Xinping's face turned pale with fright, and she was so trembling that she couldn't speak.Ah Jiu brushed Ling Si away, "Forget it, it's too dirty to get blood dripping, let me do it."

She stretched out her feet wearing red embroidered shoes, lifted Wang Xinping's chin with the toes, and said in a soft voice, "Please tell me in detail what happened when Wu Luan was in Changzhou City. If you miss a word, I promise You will die worse than the woman next to you."

Wang Xinping was forced to raise her head, and in front of her was a woman's smiling face, with curved willow-leaf eyebrows, long and narrow phoenix eyes, and red lips like red water chestnuts.

A small emerald green snake was wrapped around the woman's wrist, and her little head was raised in the air, spitting out poisonous messages at Wang Xinping with a hiss.

Not only were there snakes, but a few pitch-black poisonous scorpions crawled out from the narrow armhole of the woman, with their long tails raised, and a few flat, shiny centipedes crawled onto Wang Xinping's neck and face. Wang Xinping yelled A sound, scared out of his wits, wailing incoherently, "I said, I said..."

After a while, the two left the county magistrate's office.There was a dead silence in the room, Wang Xinping's complexion was black, and his seven orifices bled to death.

Ling Si taunted Ah Jiu as he walked, "I thought the person you killed would look good, don't you also hate it?"

"What's so good about a dead person? Just look at your own face in the mirror and you'll know." Ah Jiu didn't think so.

Seeing that Ling Si was about to get angry, Ah Jiu waved his hand, "Okay, don't say it's useless, now that Wu Luan was kidnapped in Changzhou City, it should be Twelve who did it. According to the county magistrate, everyone was shocked that night. He was busy looking for Wu Luan, but he couldn't find it anywhere. An hour later, Wu Luan was released by the robbers, but the robbers disappeared. But Twelve was obviously dead and buried in the woods. Killing Twelve but If you don’t report to the official, why is that?”

Ling Si put on an expressionless face, "So, our own people are the most suspicious. If Twelve hadn't been buried deep in the ground, we would have found his body long ago, and we wouldn't have wasted much time."

"The county magistrate said that Wu Luan had his brother-in-law by his side. He was the son of Liu Yushi's family in the capital. Therefore, these two people are very suspicious. It seems that they are going to the capital. Speaking of which, I haven’t been to the capital yet.” Ah Jiu brushed her hair on the sideburns, “This time, it’s a lot of trouble. Er's blessing, I will travel with you, a dead ghost, in the capital."

Ling Si was furious, and finally there was an expression on his dead face, "Stinky bitch!"

When Wu Luan came out of the house, he saw two weird people standing at the corner of the street, a man and a woman. The man was gloomy, and his whole body seemed to be covered with ice.The woman was dressed in red, with a sinister smile, big breasts and a thin waist, holding a red umbrella to block the sun.

That woman was white and enchanting, and according to Wu Luan's previous temperament, she had already gone over to strike up a conversation.Now that I have someone in my heart, I don't care about others, but I just looked at him a few more times with appreciation, and then roared away surrounded by a team of guards, which was very cool.

This is what Yun Jue told him, he must bring enough people when he goes out.Although Wu Luan thought it was Yun Jue's mother-in-law's fault, she did as well.

Compared with the past, the guards of the Hou Mansion have changed a lot.Yun Jue changed the lineup of the guards and trained them on defensive skills.He was a killer, so he naturally knew how to defend against an assassin's assassination and deal with an ambush.

In order to attract business for Liu Yiru's Changkong Martial Art Museum, Wu Luan asked the guards to pretend to be students to give money, and also let many guards learn orthodox boxing skills from Liu Yiru.

With such a two-pronged approach, the appearance of the guards is naturally not what it used to be. A group of people lined up in a row, majestic and majestic, which is quite the case.Ling Si and Ah Jiu had no chance to make a move.

Ling Si looked at Wu Luan's back, "It wasn't him, he didn't have any martial arts, so he couldn't have killed Twelve. The murderer was someone else."

Ah Jiu lazily said: "If you catch him and ask him, don't you know? Even if he didn't kill him, he must know something."

Ling Si shook his head, "There are quite a few guards around him, and they know some martial arts. The Uncle's Mansion is not as easy to enter and exit as the county yamen. We didn't make detailed preparations, and we will cause trouble if we do it rashly. Besides, the rules of Xiaoyu Pavilion are not good for other killers. You can't get your hands on the target. Even though you and I are Dharma protectors, it's not good to break this rule."

Ah Jiu took the red umbrella and said with disdain, "This kind of idiot is not worthy of letting you and me do it."

*******

Liu Yiru was wearing a dark blouse, and was lying on the roof of Qixia Embroidery Village.Since that day when he found out that Gu Yunshang was the person who visited Yushi's mansion at night, he had been monitoring her for several days in a row.

Gu Yunshang embroidered during the day, and sometimes went to Jinyu Alley to find Liu Yihan.At night, I rested in Xiuzhuang, and I couldn't see anything unusual.

At present, Liu Yiru only knows that she visited Yushi's mansion at night more than a month ago, and her strange inner strength shows that she is in the same line as Yun Jue.

Liu Yiru always felt that his father died strangely.He knew his father well, he was upright and resolute, and he would not commit suicide so easily, not to mention where did such a domineering father come from, and how did he bring him into the cell?

When it was getting dark, a figure flashed into Qixia Embroidery Village.

"Brother!" Gu Yunshang ran out with a coquettish smile, "Ru'er has been unable to find you for the past few days, where have you been? Can you live in the house in Liuli Hutong?"

Yun Jue touched Yun Chang's hair, and said softly: "Didn't I tell you, I changed places, you don't have to look for me, I'll just come and see you."

When the two entered the room, they could not hear the following words.Liu Yiru was lying on the roof with chills all over his body.If so, Gu Yunshang is really Yun Jue's younger sister.

Inside the house, Yun Jue asked Yun Shang, "Has the Liu family settled down?"

"Yeah." Yun Shang nodded, "They moved to Jinyu Alley. I even sent Liu Yihan eight taels of silver there today."

"Don't make it too obvious, lest the Liu family will become suspicious." Yun Jue told Yun Shang, "You only need to contact Liu Yihan. Be careful of Liu Yiru, don't meet him, that person is very vigilant, and will inevitably see your flaws .”

"What loopholes can there be? His father is dead, and my brother doesn't need to assassinate him anymore." Yun Shang lowered her head guiltily, not daring to tell Yun Jue that she had met Liu Yiru earlier in the morning.She caressed her hand quietly, and there seemed to be the warmth of his fingers that she touched inadvertently that day.

It is not easy for Yun Jue to explain the relationship between Liu Yiru and Wu Luan to her. If Liu Yiru realizes that Yun Shang is the killer who assassinated Wu Luan, he will definitely not let her go.

He could only say to his sister: "It's better for you to avoid him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. In short, you have to remember to stay away from Liu Yiru."

"Oh, I see." Yun Chang whispered.

Yun Jue had a smile on his face, "Guess who I met today? Nian Ling, I didn't expect him to be the hall master of the capital."

"Brother Ji Bai?" Yunshang said pleasantly, "Great, then the three of us are together again. Can we go find him?"

Yun Jue shook his head, "He lives in Bird Clothes Lane in the south of the city, so it's better not to meet each other on weekdays. If the news gets out, it will be troublesome to let the pavilion know that we are close. You know the rules in the pavilion, Tang The master is in charge of a team and assigns assassination tasks. If you are acquainted with each other, you will show favoritism, which is a big taboo in the pavilion."

Yun Shang felt a little regretful, and quickly said in relief: "It's good to know that brother Ji Bai is here. After all, we have known each other since we were young, and we can help each other."

With Ji Bai around, Yun Jue felt a lot more at ease, even if he had any accidents, he could safely leave Yun Shang to Ji Bai's care.His younger sister has always been his weakness, but now there is another Wu Luan in his weakness.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Jue got up and said to Yun Shang, "Be careful yourself, I will come to see you in a few days."

Yun Chang nodded obediently.She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, brother, when did you kill Wu Luan?" She rolled up her sleeves and stretched her arms in front of Yun Jue, "I watch the red line grow up little by little every day. It has passed my Elbow."

It was the first time for Yunshang to accept the task, and she was naturally nervous. Watching the red line climb up every day, although she knew that her brother would protect her and not let her face the danger of Gu poison attack, she still felt scared.

Yun Jue suffocated, the red line had already run along Yun Shang's arm, passed the elbow, and extended from the upper arm to the shoulder.

Yun Jue put down his sister's sleeve to cover the red line on his arm, "Don't worry, brother has his own plan. I have asked Ji Bai to transfer your assassination task to me. At most one or two days, the red line on your arm will disappear .”

Yun Shang was stunned, "Brother, you can just kill Wu Luan, why bother?"

Yun Jue came up with a reason to prevaricate Ji Bai, "As an uncle of the country, Wu Luan has a lot of connections and friends in the capital. Now that I work with him, I can meet many people, including officials from the Ministry of Punishment. So I want Wu Luan to If Luan lives a few more days, he will be able to get in touch with the people in the Ministry of Punishment through him. In this way, in the future, if there is any mistake in our execution of the mission, or if we accidentally fall into the hands of the government, we can also walk through the door."

It makes sense for Yunshang to think about it. If he can make friends with people from the Ministry of Justice, it will naturally be beneficial to them. "Then I will just wait. My brother will kill Wu Luan on the last day of the one-month period. Anyway, there are still a few days left." .”

Yun Jue smiled, "The transfer task will be timed from the beginning, so that I can have more time to operate. Besides, the red line is on you, and I am always uneasy. It is better to control myself."

"However, if you propose to change tasks without permission, you will be punished." Yun Shang was worried, "It is a rule in the pavilion to complete a hundred tasks to be promoted to the hall master. In this way, my brother has to complete two hundred tasks to become the hall master." gone."

"That's okay." Yun Jue patted Yun Shang's shoulder reassuringly, "I was anxious to become the hall master in order to take you under my command. Now that Ji Bai is the hall master in the capital, I don't have to worry. One hundred It doesn't matter if there are one or two hundred."

"However, I vaguely heard that the poisonous poison will be activated when accepting the mission halfway..."

"No but." Yun Jue interrupted his younger sister, and tapped Yun Shang's little nose, "That's it, the elder brother is like a father, you just listen to your elder brother's arrangement."

Yun Chang pouted, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Jue got up to leave, and Yun Shang sent Yun Jue out the door.

Liu Yiru saw the two of them hurriedly bent down in the yard, and saw Yun Shang reluctantly pulling Yun Jue's sleeve, "Brother, are you coming tomorrow?"

Yun Jue thought for a while, "I'm not coming. Tomorrow Wu Luan has an appointment with Qin Zheng, and I just took advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with Qin Zheng."

Liu Yiru's heart skipped a beat when he heard this sentence, and immediately thought of his father who committed suicide by poisoning himself in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and felt more and more suspicious?

Yun Jue left Qixia Embroidery Village, and Liu Yiru followed him from a distance, seeing him walking towards the discovery of Wen Zhonghou's mansion.That's right, he naturally moved out of Liuli Hutong and lived with Wu Luan.Liu Yiru couldn't help feeling a throbbing pain in his heart, and walked down the street in a daze.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up from behind, Liu Yiru turned his head in horror, the long dark street was empty, there was a waning moon in the sky, the wind blew from one end of the long street to the other, and the trees swayed in the wind.

An invisible oppressive force made him break out in a cold sweat, as if there was a ferocious and sinister beast hidden in a certain corner, peeping at him with blood-red eyes in the darkness.
