Binh Duong Order

"How do you say that?" Gu Xiujin was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, instead he looked at her leisurely and asked with great interest.

Seeing him like this, Yuan Man suddenly understood that they still look down on them, but now that his life is in his hands, he always has to answer his questions: "Young master Gu will know the young master It's not unusual, but it's really strange, we passed here by accident, Mr. Gu can't know in advance, and let everyone below recognize the young master in advance, right?"

"Even if Mr. Gu really made his subordinates remember the appearance of the young master, it would be even more strange. Since Mr. Gu's people are staring at those Huiran spies, it's fine if they see that they have tied up the young master and don't save them. Send a message It's really not quick, what happened in the afternoon, and brought people here in a hurry at night, no matter how you think about it, it's wrong."

Ye Shulin also recalled this point from Yuan Man, yes, how could the people under Gu Xiujin know Mu Fanchen?Let's just assume that Mu Fanchen is famous, but they saw that Mu Fanchen was tied up and couldn't save him, and it took so long for them to make any noise, which obviously didn't match what Gu Xiujin said just now.

What Gu Xiujin said just now can be said to be well-founded and worthy of convincing, but it is precisely this point, it is really difficult to justify it, no matter how you think about it, it is wrong.

Gu Xiujin also thought about this, but the fact is that he did come late, not to mention that he didn't even think about cooperating with them. If they agreed, they could just use them to disturb each other and stir up trouble. If you don't agree, you can deal with them after this matter is over.

I don’t want to spend too much time making up nonsense to fool them. The second thing is to see how capable these people are, and whether they can notice such a small thing, so that I can know their weight in advance, and then plan a strategy to deal with them. The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy , now it seems that it's not bad, at least this Yuanman didn't disappoint him.

"So?" Gu Xiujin said with a smile, "So what?"

"Not really." Yuan Man replied.

"So how did you know about Mu Fanchen's kidnapping?" Ye Shulin felt more and more that Gu Xiujin was not credible: "Is what you said earlier the truth? Or a lie? Or the person who kidnapped Mu Fanchen?" It's actually you." Gu Xiujin refused to say how he knew about Mu Fanchen's kidnapping, it was hard not to arouse Ye Shulin's suspicion.

"Don't worry." Gu Xiujin got up and lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, "At least, I won't do anything to you."

When they got to the place, they were not blindfolded or anything, but the killer with the ghost tattoo on his hand came in and tapped the dumb points of the four of them, and had them memorize the four of them. It seemed that Gu Xiujin was not afraid of them knowing that they were to where.

After getting out of the carriage and looking up, hey, it's not that I'm not afraid that they will know, but I'm afraid that they won't!

The four people looked at the golden characters "Yongzhou Fuya" on the plaque and wondered——

Just snatched someone from under their hands and sent them back?Are you free?

Gu Xiujin handed over the post and asked the yamen guard at the door to send it in, and after a while, he saw a man in blue casual clothes hurrying over.

The man was about 50 years old, his hair was a little gray, and he had a beard on his mouth. Although he was over half a century old, his body was still upright without any rickets, but he was a little thin, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked a little tired.

The person who came was Xie Zhien, the magistrate of Yongzhou. Xie Zhien greeted Gu Xiujin first when he arrived at the door: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu is visiting, but the old man is disheveled. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive me, but it's getting late now, I don't know what Mr. Gu said. What's the matter?"

"Where is it?" Gu Xiujin returned the gift, and asked the person carrying Yuan Man and the others to come forward and say, "Master Zhifu was joking, just now I saw the commotion in the Junyue Building, which attracted many yamen servants, and I am afraid of going out." I got someone to check on something. I didn't know that I had caught a few thieves, but the adults also knew that it was really inconvenient for me to guard the thieves. Wouldn't you be unwilling?"

Speaking of this, if Yuan Man and the others still can't realize what Gu Xiujin's calculations are, they will be tossed for nothing... Except for Gu Cheng and Luo Xiaoxiao, they don't need to know It would be great if Yuan Man and Ye Shulin knew about it.

If Gu Xiujin watched them by himself, not only to prevent them from escaping, but also to prevent others from robbing them, it would be really exhausting.

But it would be different if they were shown to each other. Gu Xiujin personally sent them to the government office. If they escaped or something happened, the people in the government office would definitely be held accountable.

Being able to send them to the other party so lightly and easily, it seems that Yuan Man and the others are not very important to Gu Xiujin, so there is no need to waste that effort.

Throwing away the burden and making the other party unable to do anything, tsk tsk tsk, my heart is really dark.

But Ye Shulin, who had figured this out, couldn't help but feel a little worried. From what Gu Xiujin said just now, he planned to deal with the people in the government office. Ye Shulin was not worried about what the government people would do to them now.

He is now worried about what Gu Xiujin will do to the people in the government and what he will do to them.

What I said is really a bit convoluted, but the meaning is that, it's good if you can understand it.

Gu Xiujin took this step with a black heart and a ruthless heart. He took the bitter medicine and poured it into the mute's mouth.

I just don't know how the magistrate will respond. At this moment, Yuan Man actually felt a little anxious to watch the excitement.

"Where is it?" Xie Zhien made a gesture to ask Gu Xiujin to come in and said, "Young Master Gu will just give you an order for such a small matter, why bother you to go there yourself? Please, I will make arrangements for you. .”

This is the end?Yuan Man was very disappointed, he thought he could see the scene where the two were prevaricating and secretly fighting, but they gave in so quickly without struggling, it was really boring.

Gu Xiujin frowned, Xie Zhien's compromise so quickly was obviously not within his expectations, in the past two months he fought against this old fox, never had there been a relationship, Xie Zhien is like a piece of brown sugar wrapped in cotton, you He couldn't beat him, he couldn't shake him off, every time he stuck to his body sticky, making Gu Xiujin fall short no matter what he did, this time he managed to find a reason to restrain him, He can't hold back or do Tai Chi with himself?

If things go wrong, there must be a demon, this old fox must be planning something, but Gu Xiujin's words have been spoken, Xie Zhien also agreed, and Gu Xiujin can't go back on his word: "I won't go in, the magistrate is strict in his work, I trust the magistrate I will definitely be able to settle it properly for you, and at that time, I will send someone to guard here, which can be regarded as sharing the burden for the magistrate."

It's useless to think about it now, we can only do the things in front of us first, as for Xie Zhi'en, soldiers will come to block, water will come to cover, just see the trick and dismantle it.

The servants of the government office took them over from Gu Xiujin, leaving only the killer behind, and the others followed Gu Xiujin.

After Gu Xiujin left, Xie Zhien ordered someone to lead them in, but what they went to was not a prison, but a side room. The person who led them said that since the magistrate said it was an order from Mr. Gu, he would not dare to neglect it. It's just that the prison is old and afraid that something might go wrong, so I specially found this place to come out, and reassured them that people will guard the outside layer by layer to ensure that it is absolutely watertight.

After the person who led them finished speaking, he waited for the killer's reaction, but the killer ignored him and found a place to sit down on his own. When he turned around and saw that the leader was still there, he wrinkled in displeasure. Frowning, with a look of "Why are you still there".

The guide smiled awkwardly, and ordered people to put Yuan Man and the others on the chair, and then carefully tied them up before leaving.

It's unnecessary, they can't even move now, okay?

When the guide led the people away and only the four of them and the killer were left in the room, Yuan Man suddenly said, "Let's add up the total, what shall we do now?"

"Hush—" Luo Xiaoxiao became anxious, glanced at the killer nervously, and said in a low voice, "Yuanman, please keep your voice down."

Ye Shulin: "......" Do you think your voice is quiet like this?

"It's okay." Yuan Man explained: "The shadows in the ghost building are all deaf, and they can't hear what we say."

"That's it." Luo Xiaoxiao nodded, she was indeed not afraid.

What Ye Shulin thought was, "How do you know this?"

As an intermediary, this Yuan Man knows too much.

"Don't you know?" Yuan Man was surprised that Ye Shulin didn't know about it: "The destruction of the ghost building made a big fuss in Jianghu back then, and storytellers in restaurants and teahouses made up stories about it. After nearly half a year, don’t you actually know about this?”

"..." Ye Shulin really didn't know. Originally, he didn't think it was a big deal if he didn't know, but he was embarrassed by Yuan Man's reaction and said that he didn't know.

"Well, it's normal." Yuan Man started to repair the steps again: "It happened 20 years ago, and you were just born at that time, sir? It's normal if you don't know."

Ye Shulin turned his head to the side and didn't speak.

Yuan Man got used to it and didn't mind: "It's like this. The shadows of the ghost building were cultivated from childhood. When they were young, they were taught the secret language of the ghost building, that is, hand gestures. When they learned it, they were poisoned and deaf. You can’t hear or speak, there are only two things you need to do in this life, obey and kill.”

"It's all like this?" Luo Xiaoxiao looked at the killer sitting there, feeling a little uncomfortable. It turned out that he didn't ignore him on purpose just now, but because he couldn't hear him.

The doctor is benevolent, even though the other party is their enemy now, as a doctor, Luo Xiaoxiao still can't bear to hear this.

"He listens to Gu Xiujin so much. Could it be that Gu Xiujin knows the secret language of the ghost building?" Ye Shulin asked.

"Then he's pretty good." Luo Xiaoxiao didn't have the slightest idea that she couldn't make others lose her prestige, and even started to admire Gu Xiujin a little bit.

"It's not Gu Xiujin, it's that there is no pavilion." Yuan Man said: "The ghost building has a shell besides the shadow, the shell is the brain, the shadow is the knife, the shadow will only kill people for a lifetime, and they don't even know basic common sense. Let's just say, Shadow can't even be happy."

"Is it exaggerating?" Luo Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it, no one would even be happy.

Yuan Man smiled and didn't say a word. Some people have been accustomed to some things since they were young, and they think it should be like this. Occasionally, something different will always be questioned, but if you haven't touched something since you were born, you will never know it. How do you know?

For example, if you were told that chili is sweet when you are young, then you will feel that chili is sweet when you grow up. If someone suddenly told you that chili is not sweet, would you accept it?

Shadows have been used as tools for killing since childhood, and tools don't need emotions.

Yuan Man didn't deny Luo Xiaoxiao, but continued: "The shadow can't hear or speak, and it's impossible to live without the ghost building. The shell is different. The shell can survive the training in the ghost building as the brain. But they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Generally, a ghost building is a shell and a shadow that act together. The shadow is directed by the shell. .”

"Stealing life?" Luo Xiaoxiao was startled, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a big deal."

"What do you mean?" Ye Shulin asked.

Luo Xiaoxiao explained: "The 'stealing life' Gu was used by the nobles who were about to die in southern Xinjiang or who had a sudden emergency to continue their lives. They planted the Gu insects in their bodies and fused with their own flesh and blood. As one body, as long as the Gu worms are not dead, people can live well, and it is said that if they are properly raised, they can be raised for hundreds of years, but it is just a rumor, no one has tried it yet."

"Why?" Gu Cheng was also curious about this matter.

"Because it's expensive!" Luo Xiaoxiao said, "'Stealing Life' is not expensive, but the 'nutrients' that feed 'Stealing Lives' are expensive. If you have been hit by the 'Stealing Life' Gu, you must take 'nutrients' regularly every month, otherwise you will feel itchy all over your body. Unbearable, after being tortured for twelve hours, the seven orifices bleed to death. This 'nutrient' is expensive and difficult to refine. It is said that 'stealing life' was refined by our first high priest in southern Xinjiang. It is to continue life, but because the cost of 'nutrients' is too expensive, in only one year, everyone burned the high priest to death because they could not bear the burden of 'nutrients', and the prescription of 'nutrients' has long been lost, I always thought this was It’s just a legend, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

It's hard to imagine that the "stealing life" Gu that can only be supported for one year with all the power of the southern border is actually used by the ghost building to train its own killer?What kind of financial resources is this?Is killing people so profitable these days?

Thinking about that incense, and then thinking about this "stealing life", Ye Shulin thinks why there are such strange things in southern Xinjiang?

"Xiaoxiao is right, the 'nutrition' of 'stealing life' is indeed not affordable by ordinary people." Yuanman continued: "Therefore, there is no way to let Kezi train the shadow on the condition of 'nutrition', and teach the shadow some ordinary people. Easy-to-follow instructions."

Luo Xiaoxiao nodded: "So that's the case, then it's quite generous not to have a pavilion."

Yuan Man smiled and shook his head: "Oh, overthinking, 'nutrients' are so expensive, how can you do a loss-making business if you don't have a pavilion open to welcome customers?"

"Back when the ghost building was destroyed, the shells and shadows were scattered and lost their shelter. Many people wanted to take them for their own use, but the 'nutrition' of the shells was too expensive, and everyone could only stay away, so they turned their eyes to the shadows. , It’s a pity that the knife is a good knife, if it can’t be used, it’s better to use scrap iron.”

"Some shells also took a fancy to this, and took the initiative to find the boss of Wuyouge, sold their shadows to Wuyouge, and promised to teach the shadow some basic instructions to make them obedient."

"Instead of teaching the shadows, wouldn't it be faster to teach the boss the secret language?" Gu Cheng thought that since the shadows couldn't hear them, it would take a lot of effort to teach them things they had never touched before. Isn't it more convenient and troublesome to teach the boss the secret language and let the boss teach the shadow himself?

Yuan Man really thought that Young Master Gu was so cute: "Young Master Gu, you must not be so serious in the world, or you will be sold."

"I think the hero is right." Luo Xiaoxiao said.

"Heh." Yuan Man chuckled, "You two are so cute."

"Idiot." Ye Shulin rolled his eyes and said, "The shell has taught the boss that he has no bargaining chips. Who would be so stupid to show his hole cards to the other party?"

"That's right." Yuan Man said, "But Kezi underestimated the boss who didn't have a house. In order to save the cost of 'nutrition', he killed three Kezi to get such a person who 'understands' the language." shadow."

It seems that many smart people have this shortcoming. They are not fools, but they always like to treat others as fools.

"As soon as the news was released, those powerful people flocked to it. Some even brought hundreds of luminous pearls to buy this shadow. My employer told me to get it regardless of the cost."

"It's just a shadow." Ye Shulin sneered a little: "Is it necessary?"

"Let's put it this way, if you are besieged by a hundred people, you only need to bring such a shadow, and this shadow can use its own life to protect you from being unscathed among a hundred people. Young Master Ye still thinks that it is unnecessary?"

After people have money and power, they will always become extra life-saving.
