After Zhou Feng heard what Ji Ruge said, he turned around and placed the small porcelain bowl in his hand on the edge of the pond on one side, walked slowly to the stone table, sat down, and then looked at Ji Ruge.
"How confident are you that you will accept my mission?"
Ji Ruge smiled slightly and said, "Everyone who deserves to be killed must die."
After hearing this, Zhou Feng didn't say anything. He picked up another tea cup on the table, used the lid to skim the floating yellow tea, and took a sip.
Ji Ruge took out the Seven Killing Order with the word "Ji" from his arms and slowly placed it on the table.
Zhou Feng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and his expression instantly became serious, because he knew that the person in front of him was Ji Ruge, the murderous demon who had been making a lot of noise in Yangzhou recently.
Ji Ruge is the number one killer on the seventh floor! He is also the only famous killer on the seventh floor in the world!
This man has been the number one killer on the seventh floor for many years, and he kills the people he wants to kill blatantly, without missing a beat.
He also didn't expect that the person taking over his task would be Ji Ruge from the seventh floor.
Seeing Ji Ruge's seven-kill order, he stood up instantly and bowed: "Wait a moment, your Excellency, I will prepare the deposit right now."
Ji Ruge nodded.
Not long after, Zhou Feng personally brought a tray up. Inside the tray was a thick stack of banknotes.
Ji Ruge glanced at the banknotes in the tray and saw at a glance that the banknotes this man brought were far more than the deposit of several thousand taels.
"too much."
After Zhou Feng knew that this person was Ji Ruge, he knew that he should be able to kill everyone he wanted to kill. He looked happy and replied: "Here are fifteen thousand taels of silver notes. Can you please kill the people for me?" When the time comes, offer this thing.”
Zhou Feng took out five plum blossom-shaped jade pendants from his arms and placed them on the tray.
In the middle of the jade pendant is an eye-catching character '彟'.
"I want the people who were killed to know why they were killed." Zhou Feng said slowly: "As long as you are willing to offer me this plum blossom seal jade before killing people, in addition to the additional deposit of 10,000 taels, , I am willing to add another thirty thousand taels of remuneration after the matter is completed."
Ji Ruge reached out and grabbed the five pieces of plum blossom jade and the fifteen thousand taels of silver notes in the tray, and neatly put them in her arms.
"make a deal."
As Zhou Feng's employer, he may not know that Ji Ruge already knows that the person he wants to kill is the culprit in the Tong family's murder.
In the minds of employers, they just think that killers just kill people for money. As long as they are given money, they will take action.
As a killer organization, Seventh Floor is not always the same. The reason why Seventh Floor's power has grown to the point it is today is that it has always been step by step.
All tasks accepted on the seventh floor must be investigated clearly. Dare to accept, able to accept, and able to accept are the three main principles. The killers are paid, and they provide commissions. The higher the commission, the more clearly they will investigate. .
As Ji Ruge, the top killer on the seventh floor, he also has his own principles when accepting tasks, that is, the target is a bad guy and the price is expensive.
Over the years, Ji Ruge has increased a lot of income for Qilou, and Qilou is willing to spend money on investigating the quality of his targets.
After all, the benefits go both ways.
After Ji Ruge left Zhouzhuang, Zhou Feng called the servants and began to prepare to sell off the business and dismiss the servants and servants.
Killers never expose their employers when they kill people, so Zhou Feng seemed to be making a big deal out of it.
And the remuneration he wanted to pay Ji Ruge was nearly 100,000 taels in silver notes, which was impossible to collect without going bankrupt.
The real reason why Zhou Feng did this was not because he was afraid that the major factions in Jiangnan would track down Ji Ruge and put the blame on him.
But he was also responsible for the murder of the Tong family.
The Tong family started out as a silk and satin shop. The famous Plum Blossom Manor in Jiangnan at that time was the Tong family's property.
At that time, there was a saying circulating in Jiangnan:
"Rivers are divided into north and south, and there is only one silk and satin family. In Tong's family in the south of the Yangtze River, plum blossom satin is the first."
The Tong family’s silk fabrics from Jiangnan are the best in the world.
At that time, Zhou Feng was the most diligent slave of the Tong family. He was young and promising, and managed the Tong family's business properly. He was the leader of all the slaves in the Tong family, and was highly regarded by the master of the Tong family.
Because of this, his status in the Tong family was comparable to that of a housekeeper. He made friends with all kinds of heroes, and it was at that time that he met Ge Ming and Ge Changshou.
The two of them practiced swordsmanship inherited from their families. The Ge family was originally a wealthy family decades ago. The Ge family's Taiyi swordsmanship was once famous in Jiangnan, but then declined for two generations.
Therefore, Brother Ge Ming hopes that one day he will have the opportunity to regain his position in the family, but they are short of money and have no ability but no place to gain a foothold.
The two drank in a tavern and met Zhou Feng, who was then the richest man in Danzhou, and the three became good friends who talked about everything.
Zhou Feng often came in and out of the Tong Mansion and became interested in Tong Huanhuan, the eldest daughter of the Tong family. The two had countless private meetings behind Master Tong's back.
Unexpectedly, one day, when the two of them were having a private meeting in the backyard, they were discovered by Master Tong, who beat them up and were expelled from Tong's mansion...
...
Ji Ruge left Zhoujiazhuang, rode out of Danzhou City, and passed by the Huaijiang River.
The cliff is like a wall, standing steeply on one side, and the Huaijiang River flows downstream according to the cliff.
There are several green pines on the cliff, and the water flows slowly under the cliff. The mountains on this side spread to the edge of the Huaijiang River, and the lush green grass can already cover the hooves of horses.
Except for the cliff opposite, there are plains on all sides. Here, a clear stream about 10 feet long slowly flows into the river.
The sun's light was blocked by the steep cliff, blocking out a large area of shade on this side.
Ji Ruge Lema rested.
Jumping off the horse, he gently pulled off his fake beard and replaced it with Xiao Yu's face.
I drank a few mouthfuls of water by the clear stream, washed my face, and sat on the grass on one side, feeling the breath of the green mountains and green water.
The horse took off its reins and didn't go far. When Xiao Yu drank water, the horse also took a few sips.
When Xiaoyu took a break, the horse quietly gnawed the new grass on the ground on one side.
Sitting on the grass, Xiaoyu looked at the peaceful Huaijiang River and imagined the root cause of the Tong family's murder.
Xiaoyu didn't know that Zhou Feng had an old affair with Miss Tong's family. He only felt that Zhou Feng's revenge for the Tong family was because he was unable to avenge his main family after the destruction of the Tong family and was waiting for the opportunity.
But now the Zhou family has a big business, so they went to the seventh floor to help.
On the river surface, a pebble made several jumping ripples. Xiao Yu tried throwing a few more, but couldn't make three consecutive jumps anymore, so he threw the pebble in his hand, stood up, called the horse, and prepared to return to Yangzhou.
"Hey, brother, how do I get to Yangzhou?" A man wearing a Central Plains costume looked a bit rugged, but his Central Plains dialect was a little awkward, and his intonation was very inaccurate.
Behind that man was a group of men with long curved swords. Although they were dressed like Central Plains people, the waist swords looked very much like the swords of Northern Barbarians, so they were probably not from Central Plains people.
Xiaoyu pulled the saddle, jumped on the horse's back, pointed to the horse path east by north, and replied: "Just keep walking along this road and you can reach Yangzhou City."
