Zhang Xing has been going back and forth every day these days, and he knows the wine shop owned by his flag owner very well:
The wine shop is built next to the square wall, with a total of three floors. Across the square wall is the Water Street on the south side of Luoshui. It is a good business to put down the wooden stairs and display the wine flag.
This good business does not mean that the drinks are sold well and quickly, but that Feng Yong and Feng Zongqi were a rogue near Luohe in his early years. Only because he was handsome and got the help of beauties, he gradually started selling sugar. The so-called He knew the city well and had a natural understanding of business affairs. In addition, he later became the general banner and could look after the four squares in a legitimate manner, so he could not help but start a business that was a waste of time.
Up, down, left, south, north, this store's goods are unsaleable, that store is in urgent need of a certain type of goods, regular customers from the east are temporarily short of stock, and big customers from the west have too much money and dare not take them on the road at once, so they all have something to ask for. , have what they need... And in the evening, there are many boats in Luoshui, and there are few stable places to stay on the river bank. A wooden ladder stretches out in the distance, and the wine flag hangs high. The knowledgeable merchants can't help but feel a little at ease. Knowing that this is a safe place to go, when San Yanwu finds a way out and negotiates a business deal, he will inevitably give Flag Master Feng a share of the money.
This is really big business...especially as time goes by, the reputation is well-known and the number of regular customers increases.
It is precisely for this reason that the wine shop facing the direction of the square will inevitably become a back house, but it is also a large enough courtyard to support twenty or thirty male and female servants, a main hall, a side courtyard, bedrooms, and an ancestral hall. All, in any case, they are consistent with the status of a rich man in the Eastern Capital and the general banner of the seventh rank.
Zhang Xing walked here twice and roughly remembered the shape. He climbed over the wall early in the dusk and climbed to the attic to spy on the situation. Then he quickly climbed to the top of the ancestral hall while the servants and women were eating in the kitchen, not caring about the offerings below. The seven supreme beings with their three radiances, four emperors, and four emperors lay directly behind the eaves of the raised roof, waiting for the opportunity.
We chose this place first because the shape of the roof of the ancestral hall makes it easy to hide; secondly, the ancestral hall is located in the backyard, stuck between the wine shop and the courtyard inside the square. It can be easily moved after discovering the target, and you can also listen to the traffic of the wine shop and the courtyard before nightfall. Talk to the hospital personnel and try to get some information and words as much as possible.
However, I don’t know if Feng Yong and his wife are very strict in controlling them. Even if Feng Yong himself is not at home, these servants and wives only talk about ordinary things when they come and go, and there are few gossips. Zhang Xing listened for a long time, except for two servants. Apart from complaining about the hard work of packing my belongings recently, I didn’t even have any unnecessary complaints, let alone talk about the secrets of my private home.
As for packing the belongings, I’m afraid there’s nothing that can be done about it. The Qingyu Gang has made such a big profit, and if it’s taken over openly and honestly, it must be done according to the rules from top to bottom, from public to private. This money is like worthless money to Feng Yong. , what this person really cares about is probably whether he can achieve success, and if he wants to achieve success, he undoubtedly needs to find a way... Feng Yong only shows up at the wine shop in the morning these days, and keeps running to the opposite side of Luohe River, and soon It's obviously a relationship run.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, and Zhang Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did Feng Yong want to be promoted?
Isn't he trying to avoid trouble?
Or is it that he is essentially an official fanatic, and his previous words and expressions were all designed to confuse outsiders?
There is no time to think too much... There is a curfew in Dongdu City, and Feng Yong cannot stay outside for too long. Moreover, this year has a rule of sunrise and sundown. It is a little later in the city, but not too late. ...Just when Zhang Xing was lying on the ancestral hall, holding a knife and looking at the big and small moons in a daze, there was a noise in the wine shop on the other side of Water Street. Sure enough, Mr. Feng Qi had someone set up a ladder and came directly from Water Street.
Moreover, to Zhang Xing's extreme disappointment, Feng Yong did not get drunk outside as expected, but his smooth tone and crisp words could be heard from a distance.
Zhang Xing did not dare to move easily, so he could only continue to wait above the ancestral hall, and then continued to look at the moon.
After waiting for a long time, when Feng Yong and his wife finished their meal, they actually rested directly at the wine shop... This was another unplanned matter. Zhang Xing had no choice but to continue looking at the moon until all the servants and wives had rested. , then he carefully went downstairs, then used his immortal energy to climb up to the wine shop, but followed his memory and carefully moved to the bedroom.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to step on the loose tiles. Instead, he used his true energy to half-cling and half-lean on a side wall hidden in the shadows under the eaves.
Finally, as a startled crow rose into the sky from the roof, Zhang Xing finally heard the conversation in the house through the skylight, and the couple below were actually talking about themselves.
"So I said you were too hasty to do this! Something went wrong!" Mrs. Feng was obviously angry.
"What can I do?" Feng Yong's voice also sounded a little angry. "I was a little hesitant that day. I felt that Zhang Xing was a ruthless master and his origins were unknown. I didn't want to bring him into this matter. But wasn't it your decision before? You said Xiao Zhao was stupid and that this person named Zhang didn't The foundation is just the right thing to put in, and it’s hard to change when it comes to you!”
"So this is my fault?"
"I don't blame you... wasn't I just thinking about it?" Feng Yong seemed to sigh.
Then there was a long silence, so long that Zhang Xing, who was lying in the room, almost thought that the two of them were asleep, but even so, he remained motionless and showed no expression.
"The problem now is that Zhang Xing's guy escaped out of nowhere and just came to beg Xiaoyu, which is quite reasonable." Feng Yong's voice suddenly broke the silence. "If you don't give it, it will look weird and even make him suspicious. But if you give it, I'm afraid Xiaoyu will have some resentment in her heart or guess something. When she gets to Zhang Xing, she will give him some explanation... Is this what you mean? ?”
"Yes!" Mrs. Feng was obviously still angry.
"What's your idea?"
"What about killing Xiaoyu?" Mrs. Feng seemed to be talking about killing a chicken.
"Why do you want to kill people again for no reason?" Feng Yong was confused. "Kill Xiaoyu?"
"I have a guess... Xiaoyu is probably pregnant with Xiao Zhao's child." Mrs. Feng suddenly lowered her voice.
Zhang Xing suddenly hesitated, but the reaction of the people below was simply greater than his, so he was not exposed.
"Are you sure?!" Feng Yong's voice suddenly became anxious.
"What are you shouting?" Mrs. Feng scolded in a low voice. "I'm just guessing... Think about it, even if she and Xiao Zhao were just a joke at first, Xiao Zhao later sincerely wanted to redeem her. She is also a young girl with a mortal body. How could she not be tempted? ? Just like when I was tempted by your seduction? Xiao Zhao died a few days ago. He cried like a tear a few days ago, but these days he was running around in the wine shop like a normal person... I started I didn’t think much about it. Today, the person named Zhang saw how pitiful she was and wanted to take her in, so I finally realized that she probably had no choice but to urgently find someone to take the plate."
"That's right." Feng Yong sighed. "If she was the only one, why should she be in such a hurry... But to be honest, if the situation wasn't too urgent, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give Xiaoyu to Xiao Zhao."
"I'm pretending to be a good person now... I just want to remind you that if Xiaoyu is really pregnant, the seed in her belly is Xiao Zhao's. In addition, Xiaoyu can't get a glimpse of the truth. In the future, there will be someone who has a grudge against you for killing your father. Seeds that share the same destiny.”
"If we don't live together, then we will live together." Feng Yong was a little impatient. "In this world, who can care about what will happen a few decades later? This one is no different... The problem now is that it is easy to kill Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu has already fallen into the eyes of Zhang again, so once he kills him, he has to kill him continuously. Kill everyone named Zhang together."
"Then kill everyone with the surname Zhang." Mrs. Feng was still straightforward.
Zhang Xing outside the house showed no expression after hearing this, as if the man named Zhang had nothing to do with him.
"No, I saw it last time with the Qingyu Gang. The man named Zhang crawled out of the dead, and he is not comparable to the thugs from Dongdu." Feng Yong replied seriously. "Unless we can invite a master who has opened up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and assist a few careful confidants to go there together..."
"If you are a careful confidant, just look for Lao Wang, but the masters of the eight meridians are too expensive..."
"What do you know? It's not just expensive...it's also Lao Wang. It's Lao Wang all day long."
"Old Wang... hmm, what's wrong with Old Wang? If you keep talking about this, Feng Yong, can I say that you don't want to kill Xiaoyu because you have other motives?" Mrs. Feng was furious.
"That's not what I meant." Feng Yong quickly defended, as if he had a lower status in bed.
"Forget it, I won't quarrel with you today. You can tell yourself, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?" Mrs. Feng sneered. "Tomorrow morning, you are going to give Colonel Zhang an answer...a maid and fifty guan of money. Will you give me? Do you want to continue to be your honorable commander-in-chief and good brother?"
"Just put it off." Feng Yong responded in a muffled voice. "Say hello to Lao Wang and tell him that Lao Wang also has the same thoughts. I am also in a dilemma if he wants Xiaoyu. Anyway, I won't give him the person for the time being..."
"Tan Neng..." Mrs. Feng seemed to be mocking her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to realize something, and then she lowered her voice. "Has the matter of the promotion of the black ribbon been settled?"
"Enough meritorious service. Black-faced Lingguan Cui has already done it, but Lingguan Li has always known that we have savings. Even with this meritorious service, he still opened his mouth and refused to let go. I originally wanted to be with him. Let’s talk about it later... But now it seems that instead of paying someone to kill the person named Zhang, it is better to give the money to Lao Li directly and get rid of the matter quickly... Let’s hide this matter until the time comes and leave. Send Zhang away, kill Xiaoyu and go on the road. When he comes back, everything will be settled."
"Are you so afraid of that person named Zhang?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of Zhang, a vanguard named Zhang, no matter how cruel he is, it's just a knife. At worst, I have to spend money to buy a sharper knife... The key is that the situation is too scary, and the most important thing is time. Now I have a day I don't even dare to stay in Dongdu." There was a hint of fatigue in Feng Yong's tone. "I went to inquire about it. Yang Ni's case was thrown out without a word by the palace again. The censor Zhongcheng who was in charge of the case will definitely be impeached. The matter will probably be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. When the time comes, he will be imprisoned immediately...even if I can't afford it. When the news of Dongyi's defeat comes back in half a month, there will definitely be huge chaos in Dongdu... It's better to leave early, and you must not cause any trouble again."
"Why am I the one causing trouble?" Mrs. Feng seemed unhappy.
"I'm not joking with you anymore!" Feng Yong's tone suddenly became severe. "If you hadn't always thought about the prosperity of the Eastern Capital, according to my opinion, we had already gone to Jingxiang's hometown before Yang Ni's rebellion. Why wait until we knew that the front line was defeated and made a hasty plan? If it weren't for the hasty plan, you would have If you care about human life, why risk Xiao Zhao’s life and mess with a man named Zhang? You must also kill Xiaoyu? What do you think human life is? We are no longer the poor people we were more than ten years ago, and we can’t continue to be so unscrupulous. "
Seeing that her husband was angry, Mrs. Feng muttered something, and then Feng Yong wanted to say something, but seemed to be blocked by something again, and then there were lingering sounds, rapid breathing, slapping sounds and soft words.
Zhang Xing didn't take the opportunity to take action, nor did he leave. He just took the opportunity to release the Qi in his hands and was careful to step firmly under his feet. And when the two people in the house finished their hard work, snoring was obviously heard, but he still did not take action, but used his hands and feet to carefully climb down. Then, he just returned to the roof of the ancestral hall and stared at the twin moons in a daze.
Let's say that now, the day's efforts to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger have had a miraculous effect. Zhang Xing has completely verified his conjecture and even learned the truth that he never knew.
For example, the Qingyu Gang and Sun Wagua are pigs raised by Mr. Fengqi, but this pig is not used to make money for himself, but to donate money and perform meritorious services, and to run away with buckets.
For another example, Feng Yong and his wife were obviously misplaced in their assessment of themselves. Feng Yong, who was more cautious, was even prepared to let himself go that day. Just because the Sanfang sweep was too efficient, he could only go with the flow and follow the original plan. act.
For example, among the Feng couple, the real leader is Mrs. Feng.
Of course, these are all details, because no matter what, Zhang Xing’s guess is not a big problem:
At this time, a pair of doggy men and women were sleeping on the third floor of the wine shop. Whether intentionally or not, they acted in a manner that actually cost them their lives that day. This couple, just because they were newcomers and had no foundation, wanted to use themselves as sacrifices and sacrifices, and activated the arrangements of the Qingyu Gang to complete their escape plan.
But having said that, these two people can easily kill even their own trusted maids and subordinates, so it would be ridiculous to worry about Zhang Xing's life.
And according to their self-promotion, I am afraid that they have done many such things in the past twenty years.
So, the question comes back again, what happens after knowing it?
Should he kill?
Damn, this couple of bitches deserve to die.
Can it be killed?
Yes, because Feng Yong obviously didn't care enough about the eight extraordinary meridians, so he went in and chopped him up while he was sleeping, and then chopped up his wife.
Do you want to kill?
To be honest, Zhang Xing hesitated.
The reason couldn't be simpler. Killing a seventh-grade commander and his wife, who was about to be promoted to a sixth-grade black ribbon, would probably be something that he, a defeated soldier who had turned into a street tiger, couldn't bear... More than a hundred steps north of the wine shop, that's Luoshui, across from Luoshui, the Chengfu Gate where Zhang Xing asked Qin Erlang to wait is actually a gate of Ziwei Palace. Even departments like Beiya in the palace have father-in-laws who have practiced to the master level of Fuyang, not to mention other masters. .
There is also the main station of Jing'an Taitung. Feng Yong is the seventh-rank general banner of Jing'an Taidong Town Fusi, and he is ready to be transferred to the sixth-rank black ribbon. And Jing'an Tai has twenty-eight red ribbons like Bai Yousi. There are at least a dozen of them in Dongdu City at this time.
If one of his own is dead, at this level, he must be investigated. If Qin Bao is found out, even if Qin Bao doesn't let him down, can he survive with just his tricks and cover-up?
And Bai Yousi, that little bitch, although she still cherishes her talent, isn't it okay for her to be selfless and law-abiding at the same time?
If you think about it this way, Qin Bao's previous persuasion was indeed right, and it can no longer be right. This is not the same thing as cutting off Wei Tuzi.
And that compass...how to say? What a good baby, whatever the heart wants, it has its way. But almost every time after successful guidance, it can cause yourself a corresponding amount of trouble.
If only there was no compass!
For a moment, Zhang Xing, who was lying silently in the ancestral hall, had this idea in his mind again... Without a compass, although he had doubts, he was afraid that he would not be able to figure out the truth of the matter until the couple left Dongdu. It doesn’t have to be as difficult as it is now.
How about forgetting it?
A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years... Besides, if you really want to seek revenge or seek revenge, shouldn't it be Xiao Zhao? Do you deserve to bet on a conspiracy that never came to fruition?
Isn’t it a bit self-deceiving to think so?
What about self-deception? When a person is dead, he cannot even deceive others.
At this thought, Zhang Xing was really discouraged. In fact, he actually carefully turned over from under the ancestral hall, and then continued to walk carefully along the side courtyard and toward the inside of the workshop.
However, in the middle of the night, under the double moon, on the silent wall beside the Feng family courtyard, as a gust of wind blew, Zhang Xing, who was once discouraged, suddenly stopped.
Because along with the summer wind, he vaguely heard the sound of a woman sobbing.
It is true that there is a young woman crying, but it is not Xiaoyu. It is hard to say. I can only say that it is a bit like it, but Zhang Xing neither wants to nor dare to verify:
What if so?
What if not?
After listening to it for a long time, Zhang Xing finally couldn't bear it anymore - he could take revenge as a gentleman, and it's not too late in ten years. But if it was Xiaoyu, if Xiaoyu was really thinking about Xiao Zhao, if Xiaoyu still had a child in her belly, he would not be able to bear it today. Let's go, what about them?
Why must Yuan Da be killed that day?
Why did you have to chop off one of Wei Tuozi's hands before?
A gust of summer wind blew up again. Zhang Xing suddenly turned around, holding Xiao Zhao's saber in his arms, and walked step by step towards the wine shop.
It took him a quarter of an hour to climb up to the third floor of the wine shop again, and then it took him half a quarter of an hour to carefully get into the skylight and enter the room... At this time, the Feng couple were still asleep, Zhang Xing did not rush to take action, but first He carefully removed the door bolt, then turned around, peeled off Xiao Zhao's sword, then transferred Changsheng Zhenqi to his arm, and stabbed Feng Yong's heart through the quilt.
Feng Yong was in pain and opened his eyes. Before he could shout, the second knife struck him in the throat.
After being stabbed twice, the commander-in-chief was destined to die, but his reaction was beyond Zhang Xing's expectation. The man opened his eyes wide and saw Zhang Xing, knowing that he was going to die. Then he tried hard to raise his hand, but did not cover the wound, nor did he He went to struggle, but instead forced Zhenqi to move his arms and pointed at the person beside him, then he reluctantly covered his mouth and nose, and then stared at Zhang Xing without moving.
Zhang Xing realized in his heart that he naturally knew that Feng Yong wanted him to let his wife go... Although the two of them were vicious-hearted, they were true and sincere lovers.
However, with emotion in his heart, the Night Raider's face did not change at all. He only seriously touched the wound and penetrated it more than a dozen times through the quilt. When a heat flow poured in, almost directly breaking through the fifth main channel, Knowing that Feng Yong was dead, he turned his hand and stabbed Mrs. Feng's throat directly.
Like Feng Yong, Mrs. Feng did not die on the spot, but choked directly as Zhang Xing drew his sword.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing just put the quilt over the opponent's head, and then stabbed the opponent's abdomen... Unexpectedly, as Mrs. Feng's body stopped shaking, Zhang Xing clearly felt another wave of heat, which was the same as before killing three people. Compared to a famous practitioner, the heat flow is very, very small, but it is real.
What's even more interesting is that this stream of heat poured in, but only made a circle on the surface of the skin before dissipating in the night sky, as if to say that you are not my destination.
However, now is not the time to think about this. After Zhang Xing killed these two people, he carefully wiped the knife in his hand with the bloody quilt, then inserted the knife into Feng Yong and left.
And when he turned around and came to the door, he stopped again, as if he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten but should do.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xing took out a clean face towel from the cabinet next to him, dipped it in blood on the bed, mobilized his immortality energy, climbed on the half wall with one hand, and wrote three lines in simplified Chinese on the half empty wall with the other hand. :
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
Hello.
The murderer is Li Taibai, the hero of Zhongzhou!
After finishing writing, Zhang Xing opened the door and looked at the bloody words on the wall under the moonlight. Without hesitation, he directly took up his true energy and headed to the north of the wine shop. When he came to the square wall, he jumped and waited until Luo Luo. He took off his coat and threw it into the water. Then he ran wildly and walked around the direction of Xiao Zhao's home in the practice workshop. Then he returned to the practice workshop from the south.
Returning to the side courtyard, there was silence all around, except for the twin moons shining together, like streams of light, spreading out above.
It's strange to say that he was still struggling to avenge himself before, but now that he had avenged Xiao Zhao because of the ethereal cry, Zhang Xing felt happy all over, and everything was worth it. After washing it off for a while, he even felt that his mind was empty. One piece, just meditate and Chongmai directly in the courtyard.
But within a moment, he realized that the fifth positive pulse between his lungs and his right foot was running smoothly, and it was actually a successful direct pulse.
At this time, it was just the third watch facing the back.
PS: Thanks to the new alliance leaders Lingshui Xiaohei and Yu for their umbrellas...this is the 36th and 37th cuteness in this book...I can't thank you enough.
