Yang Zhen put away the token and map. This will happen three years later. Let's find out the details from the Zhao family then.
He continued the original question: "Who are you? Where is Cui Zhongjiu, what did you do to him?"
Hou Xian turned his head with difficulty and looked at this boy who was thirty years younger than him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
"This little brother," he asked with a wry smile, "what are you going to do with me?"
"Leave it to the Wang family." Yang Zhen said carelessly.
"Haha, haha, hahaha..." Hou Xian suddenly burst out laughing, laughing non-stop, and finally his nose and tears came out.
"You deserve it!" He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I, Hou Xian, often walk by the river. It's not that I never thought that this day would come. I just didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a baby like you."
"Cui Zhong is not dead for a long time," he said, "hiding in a secret place, I can take you there."
"No need," Yang Zhen shook her head: "I'm not that familiar with him. If you tell me the place, I'll arrange for someone to go take a look."
"If you don't tell me..." Yang Zhen used the dagger to make gestures on his body: "Then I will punch a few holes in your body with three knives and six holes, and you can be considered worthy of him."
Just kidding! Let you lead the way. Who knows what tricks you will pull off along the way? Are there any accomplices to help?
Hou Xian was a little confused. Why did this child's words sound weird?
"Please hand me over to the Wang family," he begged.
"Okay, let me poke a few holes first."
"No, no, I'll tell you the place." When encountering such a confused child, Hou Xian felt helpless and helpless.
But he didn't know that Yang Zhen wanted this effect.
If he really gets into a fight with this person, he might even be able to use his words to meddle with his life.
He couldn't let go of the person in front of him.
He now lives in the shadow of the ancestor of Xiling, and he dare not do anything unusual to attract attention.
Just these three lightning bolts, he couldn't explain to others.
Besides, why should he be soft-hearted in the face of a guy like this who obviously has ulterior motives for him, leaving himself with future troubles.
Therefore, he deliberately messed around. It would be best if he could ask about Cui Zhongjiu's whereabouts; if he really couldn't find out, he wouldn't be able to make a deal with it.
Now it seems that he succeeded.
"Cui Zhongjiu was hiding in my residence at No. 15, Qingshui Lane." Hou Xian confessed.
"Yes." Yang Zhen nodded, having finished all the questions that should be asked.
"Do you have any last words?" he asked coldly.
…
Amid Hou Xian's angry insults and various pleas, Yang Zhen raised her dagger and pierced the man's chest.
This was his first murder.
For the first time in this life, I killed someone with my own hands.
first drop of blood.
The moment the dagger pierced his chest, when Hou Xian's eyes almost burst into flames, when he twitched and died due to pain, Yang Zhen felt waves of discomfort.
It's not that they are timid, it's just that as people of the same kind, they have the discomfort of being hurt by things of their own kind.
He has no regrets, let alone fear. Since he lives in this world and embarks on the path of cultivating immortality, he has already realized this.
Qingluoshan almost died and was intercepted outside Qingzhou City. He had already experienced life and death.
Tonight was just the first time he had control over the life and death of others.
From now on, I will never be a demon who likes killing, but if someone hurts me, I will never show mercy!
Yang Zhen held the dagger in her hand and swore secretly.
Just tonight, Yang Zhen, who committed murder for the first time, used his vow to start pursuing his own path to immortality.
…
At No. 15, Qingshui Lane, Yang Zhen found Cui Zhongjiu who was unconscious.
He didn't look seriously ill, but his cheeks were red, as if he was drunk.
A fairy rope tied him tightly.
There is actually another one, Yang Zhen is very happy, this is another hundred spiritual stones.
He asked Yiyi to untie the rope that bound the immortal, threw it into the space, and then awakened Cui Zhongjiu.
"Brother Yang, I saw you right!" Cui Zhongjiu grabbed his hand, extremely excited.
The smell of alcohol from his mouth was also sprayed towards him.
Yang Zhen quickly stood up and took out a storage bag from her arms.
This was the one that Hou Xian snatched from Cui Zhongjiu. He hid it in his arms, and Yang Zhen didn't notice it for the first time.
Later, when the body was put away, it could not be put into the storage bag. Then, it was re-examined and the bag was found.
From the amount of spiritual stones and gold coins inside, he quickly determined that Cui Zhongjiu was trading them tonight.
He poured out all the spirit stones and gold coins and returned the empty storage bag to Cui Zhongjiu.
"Uncle Cui, these are your spirit stones and gold coins. I will take them all away. There are 20,000 Xuanyang trees in Jiumuzi Lane. You have them taken away tomorrow."
Cui Zhongjiu nodded repeatedly but couldn't speak. It was a turn of events tonight.
"Where's the one named Hou?"
Yang Zhen put away the spirit stones and coins on the ground and took out another storage bag. With a thought, a corpse appeared on the ground.
I saw that the corpse was completely charred, with a ferocious face, eyes wide open, and a look of death.
"This person intended to rob me and was dealt with." Yang Zhen said deliberately vaguely.
"Who, who handled it?" Cui Zhongjiu asked excitedly.
Yang Zhen looked at him calmly, expressionless, and didn't answer.
Cui Zhongjiu was shocked. There was indeed someone behind this kid!
Judging from the tragic death of Hou Xian, he was probably still a foundation-building monk!
He lowered his head slightly, avoiding Yang Zhen's direct gaze, and did not dare to ask again.
However, Yang Zhen couldn't let him go so easily.
"Uncle Cui," Yang Zhen asked coldly: "How does that man named Hou know where we are trading?"
Cui Zhong stayed for a moment, then suddenly knelt down with a plop:
"Brother Yang, I can't help you!"
While crying bitterly, he told what happened hesitantly.
"Brother knows that there is someone from the Wang family behind you, so he will be able to get rid of this traitor, so, so..."
"What if there is no one behind me?" Yang Zhen smiled half-heartedly: "Then wouldn't I die in vain at your hands tonight?"
"No, I know, there must be someone behind you!" Cui Zhongjiu shouted, kowtowing repeatedly.
Yang Zhen said nothing and stood with her hands tied. It wasn't until a lot of blood oozed from the man's forehead that she spoke to stop him.
"alright."
He didn't say anything like "I won't do it next time", which was of no use. If there were similar situations, he believed Cui Zhongjiu would do the same again.
As long as Cui Zhongjiu firmly believes that there is someone behind him and is wary of him, his goal tonight will be achieved.
Rather than telling Manager Cui the truth and forcing him to replace him, it is better to continue to use Cui Zhongjiu.
"Okay, don't make any big wounds, otherwise you won't be able to heal them for a while and it will be difficult to explain when you go back."
"Also, tell Manager Cui for me that I will discuss the Xuanyang Wood deal with him again at noon tomorrow."
Yang Zhen gave final instructions.
