What Qin Shou'an didn't expect was that none of the government officials and police officers would be seen, which made him miss a few strokes when carving the image of the "lonely minister".
It's just that there are a lot of opportunities when slashing with a broad stroke. One less stroke is one less stroke.
However, the newly widowed and pretty woman in front of him was quite interesting, which made Qin Shou'an look her up and down.
There was no strong and unpleasant fishy smell on her body. Her husband had just died and his body was lying on the door panel. She was still thinking about her image.
Among the collars of the burlap mourning clothes, there is still a red untied undergarment, which is white and clean and has the fragrance of powder. It smells very good. It is obviously the product of a very expensive powder shop in Longyin City.
Most people can't afford it, even if they have a boss who makes a fortune through blackmail.
Of course, the most important thing was to say "Thank you so much" to Qin Shou'an.
It seemed that everyone thought Qin Shou'an was a good killer, and his wives all said so. Qin Shou'an fell asleep and thought about it boringly.
"Thank you so much for killing the evil thief, so that this humble concubine can escape from the sea of misery." The woman looked back at the busy Hexian shop. The concubine was crying freely, and several sisters-in-law were walking over, talking around the concubine. Something.
The woman's face showed a look of relief and comfort, and she gratefully said to Qin Shou'an.
Qin Shou'an nodded. The owner of the Hexian shop was engaged in blackmail. He was obviously a gangster. He must have done a lot of bullying and bullying.
Was this wife snatched or blackmailed, or was she given to him to pay off a debt? Any reason is possible.
In this era, don't expect evil to be rewarded, good to be rewarded, and officials to be honest and transparent. Ordinary people live a random life. They may have a happy and harmonious family one moment, but their families will be broken up the next moment.
Longyin City has a prosperous economy, and ordinary people live a pretty good life, but they still cannot avoid the rampage of bullies. Cui Yougui, Zhang Daiqing, and Song Ludao killed by Qin Shou'an were just one of ten thousand.
Many people know that you cannot live without a conscience, but without a conscience, you can be a better person and let others act like pigs and dogs for your own use.
"The evil thief's name is Yang You. He and my original husband are from the same hometown. He tricked my husband into fishing on a boat and took the opportunity to murder..." The woman said, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and her body trembled slightly as she sobbed.
If you are a man who is good at singing in the morning wind and chanting the moon, you should reach out to help him at this time.
Feeling her fragility and softness, he gnashed his teeth and cursed a few words, and also said a few words that he was doing justice for God and that today's injustice was repaid.
Qin Shou'an fell in love with the most beautiful woman in the world last night and was turned upside down.
The person who had just arranged his trousers and looked after him was a beautiful slut like Bai Ji, so how could he be compared to the proprietress of the Hexian Shop?
Naturally indifferent.
The woman lowered her head slightly, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and then said timidly,
"Yang You has been running rampant in the village on weekdays. After my husband died, my concubine had no way to call for help. My tribe and neighbors were afraid of Yang You's revenge and did not dare to come forward...Later, he...even took advantage of my concubine's illness and weakness to stain my innocence..."
Is this why she was indifferent but smiled sinisterly after seeing Qin Shou'an kill someone yesterday? I can understand it.
Qin Shou'an didn't fully believe it. What was certain was that there must be some deep hatred between the couple. Otherwise, how could the man who killed his husband be regarded as his benefactor?
A couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. As long as they sleep a lot, they will have some feelings... Qin Shou'an thought this and couldn't help but be startled. Does the mountain master and him count as a couple's kindness a hundred days?
Maybe he would have to sleep for a few more days to find out - well, he just thought about it casually, not really expecting it. This kind of thing is like winning the lottery, don't expect it one after another.
When he first realized that he had been slept with by the mountain master, he was very angry, but later he also forced the mountain master, and the anger disappeared.
Even now, I still can't help but feel some nostalgia for the exquisite undulating mountains, the clear moonlight in the sky...
"Now that he is dead, the family property will be left to you. If you find a good family to live with, it will be a blessing in disguise." Qin Shou'an said a few words.
Seeing that there were still no government officials coming to arrest him, Qin Shouan was too lazy to stay any longer and was about to leave.
He thought that it was Prince Nanjun who had slipped the package of red poppy grass ointment and wanted to kill two birds with one stone. However, after the incident was exposed, the Kyoto government office was also involved.
The governor of Kyoto was naturally frightened, and the various yamen under him naturally had no intention of going to court. They had no time to investigate even such a major case of murder in broad daylight.
How can the affairs of ordinary people be as important as the black gauze hats worn by officials protecting their heads?
understand.
"What my benefactor said is, please come in and have a drink so that I can express my gratitude." The woman raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she raised the corners of her mouth to force a smile.
The smile was a combination of luck and a bit of sadness, as if he was already confused and flustered about how to live in the future, unable to find a stable support.
Qin Shouan thought for a while and followed the woman in through the side door.
The Hexian fish shop is a typical front shop and backyard. The few huts are kept clean, and it is hard to smell the smell of the fish shop in front of the shop. The woman invited Qin Shou'an to sit down in the main room, and then poured two glasses of wine.
She casually picked up a glass, toasted Qin Shou'an, and drank it in one gulp, which seemed a bit generous.
Seeing that she was happy, Qin Shou'an was naturally not shy, so he picked up the remaining glass and drank it in one gulp.
Watching Qin Shou'an drink it, the woman's face showed a somewhat seductive smile, and the sadness and misery in her eyebrows disappeared.
The burlap mourning gown slipped off her body, revealing the colorful women's home clothes underneath.
She did not stop, but continued to take off her coat and long skirt. In an instant, only her undergarments were left on her white and tender body.
"Little lady, what do you mean?" Qin Shou'an frowned, shook his head, pointed at the wine glass and said in surprise: "You...you drugged me?"
"Looking at how smart you are, I didn't expect you to be a heartless person." The woman chuckled:
"Little brother, you can't travel around the world just relying on martial arts. In the next life, remember not to drink whatever others pour you."
"It seems...it seems that what you just told me is all a lie...As expected, Zhang Ma said: The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying. If you are honest, I will deceive you!"
Qin Shouan raised his hand to support his forehead and looked at the woman in front of him with squinting eyes.
The woman giggled like a trembling flower branch, and her white body swayed like a tree full of pear blossoms.
"Zhang's mother is quite knowledgeable. But if you say so, I won't let you go...Although Yang You is just a pawn in our Yiju Building, he has worked hard over the years and finally took root in Longyin City. Come down to the stronghold and kill three of us at once!"
Juyi Building? Qin Shou'an couldn't help but think of Liang Shisanniang. This woman who delayed his return to the city for the funeral seemed to be a very important person in the Yiju Building.
He didn't expect that the three gangsters he killed casually had a background in the martial arts world... But their deaths were so simple that Qin Shou'an didn't even have time to realize that they were no ordinary common people.
I wonder if they know martial arts? It is estimated that he is at the third level at most, and he does not even have true energy in his body, otherwise Qin Shou'an would have noticed something abnormal after killing someone.
In fact, the vast majority of people in the so-called Jianghu are unknown people like Yang You.
His martial arts skills were not high and he was unknown. He joined this turbulent world for unknown reasons, and he died suddenly and suddenly for unknown reasons.
Juyi Tower is also very particular. Even if the pawns died, there would be someone to avenge them... This woman must have known that Qin Shou'an was a strong martial artist, so she had to use some dirty tricks.
"Are you really avenging Yang You?" Qin Shou'an continued to stagger, looking like he was holding on for dear life.
"You saw me kill Yang You with your own eyes yesterday, right? At that time, you looked at the situation quietly and sneered sinisterly. It didn't look like you were affectionate and righteous with him?"
"He runs my Juyi Building's only stronghold in Longyin City. He usually doesn't take me seriously, but he also wants to take advantage of me... I am naturally happy that he is dead, but this does not affect my decision to kill him. you."
The woman approached Qin Shou'an and gently stroked Qin Shou'an's cheek, with a gentle look on her face, "But... before that..."
"Vicious woman, you...what do you want to do with me?" Qin Shou'an felt it. This was something he often encountered when he traveled around the world.
These women may have had other ideas, but in the end they all wanted to taste a handsome man like him.
When women are wandering around the world, has no one ever told them the saying "the word sex is like a knife to the head"?
"Of course... of course I want you to be a romantic ghost." The woman's bright red lips parted, revealing a little tip of her tongue and slightly curling the corners of her mouth.
Qin Shou'an couldn't help but feel a little sad. She was bullied and teased by the mountain master last night. After all, she was the great master. Qin Shou'an couldn't beat her, so forget it.
At present, there is no name in this world, and no reputation - the most important thing is that there is absolutely no good virgin Yuanyin woman, and she has evil intentions towards him!
If she has had the experience of harmonizing yin and yang with many men, and the aura in her body is extremely turbid, if her yin energy enters Qin Shouan's body, it will also affect him, such as nausea and vomiting from time to time.
"You...it's all about you?" Qin Shou'an forced a smile, "I'm not afraid of dying!"
The woman sneered, men always like to brag about things like six inches, one day and one night, etc. They say these are basically silver pewter spear heads.
Is this one in front of me useless? She didn't hope...but if it really didn't work, she wouldn't feel so distressed and regretful when she killed him afterwards.
On the contrary, I can vent out that irritability.
So the woman walked directly in front of him. The drug she added to the wine was so powerful that it would first make people completely unable to raise their strength and lose the ability to resist, and then they would gradually fall into sleep.
It was expected that he could hold on for so long, but there was only one mouth left, and there was no other threat.
This is also Ju Yilou’s essential secret medicine for traveling in the world, and it has proven to be successful time and time again.
The most difficult thing about administering medicine is to let people in without warning. As for the properties of the medicine, there is no need to doubt it.
The woman bent down to check, and her expression suddenly changed drastically.
Qin Shou'an twisted his waist and hit her in the face, knocking her out immediately... This move couldn't even be resisted by an eighth-grade peak person like Ao Aojiao, let alone the woman in front of him?
Her martial arts level is unknown, but she is obviously not a master of martial arts.
Qin Shou'an adjusted his robe and stood up. He was just drugged, but it naturally had no effect on him.
When the wine entered my mouth, I felt something was wrong.
I've been drugged a lot these days.
But it's normal. Jianghu people usually do whatever they can. After all, fighting and killing are more likely to lead to accidents. Everyone is willing to use safer and more secretive ways to deal with enemies.
What makes Qin Shouan a little depressed is that today is the enemy who drugged him. Are they enemies at other times?
Rong Baobao, Hei Ji, Bai Ji, and Tang Wanrong are also considered participants, and then there are Zhonghua Mei and Shanzhu... These people also use the mixture of Chunxiao Baimeixiang and Yuntai tea.
Qin Shou'an picked up the clothes and burlap mourning clothes that the woman had taken off the ground and put them on her, then tied them up and carried them in his hands.
He was tall and raised his arms high, while the woman swayed like the pendulum of a clock.
After shaking for a while, Qin Shouan kicked her knee. The woman felt pain and woke up dizzily.
"You-" The woman was a little dizzy from being shaken, her stomach was churning and she was about to vomit, but her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move.
He stretched his neck forward, and there was a lump in his throat, but nothing came out. It was indescribably uncomfortable.
"You - obviously drank -"
The woman persisted and finished speaking, panting and staring at Qin Shou'an, the corners of her eyes raised sideways, many thoughts going through her mind, trying to survive, but what came to her mind the most was the brutal scene of the other party's murder yesterday.
"I'm going to ask you a few things. If you tell me honestly, I'll give you a treat." Qin Shou'an didn't kill her directly, so he certainly wasn't pitying her.
"Haha...haha, now that I'm in your hands, I'll kill or behead you, it's up to you." The woman laughed twice and turned her head.
"What's your name?" Qin Shouan didn't take her words seriously.
Most of the Jianghu people said this when they were arrested, and most of them couldn't take what they said seriously. In the end, the vast majority of them begged for mercy.
There is only one person in a hundred who can keep his face unchanged even when a knife is on his neck, and look forward to death as if he were dead.
Jianghu people are indeed better able to withstand physical pain, and their determination is a little firmer than ordinary people, but everyone has only one life and is equally afraid of death.
"Yu——Yu Wanqing."
Saying the harsh words, even if you have shown the spirit of a martial artist, it doesn't mean you lose your status by saying your name, right? Death leaves a name.
"Nice name."
"Your Excellency, what is your surname? Please also tell me so that I can have a name to talk about when I am on Huangquan Road."
It was not like Yu Wanqing had never encountered more serious crisis moments, but the other party holding her in his hand and shaking her around made her feel powerless like never before.
She has no intention of really sitting back and waiting for death. Now she can only try to slowly delay the time.
"First on the list."
Qin Shouan thought for a while and did not reveal his real name casually.
Some well-informed Jianghu people may have already known that King Langya passed away and that the name of the heir apparent who succeeded him was Qin Shou'an.
Many Jianghu people are particularly vigilant and careful when facing the Jiuzhou Mansion. If they reveal their identity by revealing their true name, the other party will most likely grit their teeth and not easily reveal the information Qin Shouan wants.
The name "Bang Yi" was used by him when he was hiding his identity and traveling around the world. He even had a certain reputation in the world.
Maybe he was recorded by the Kyushu government as a young knight with a mysterious identity.
"Brother on the list!" Yu Wanqing exclaimed, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
"Um?"
"Brother List No. 1, did you acquire a building in Yuanping last year?" Yu Wanqing didn't care about leaking some of the building's secrets. The most important thing now was to find a chance to survive.
"That's right. It's the same building as before."
Qin Shou'an nodded, as Rururulou was actually a restaurant.
When he was in Yuanping, the master went to visit an old friend who was withdrawn by nature. The old friend didn't like seeing outsiders, so the master asked Qin Shou'an to meditate and practice Qigong in the inn.
Yuanping is a big city. Although it is not as prosperous as Longyin City, it is also one of the best soft red fragrant soils within a thousand miles.
The streets are busy with traffic, the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion are like a market, and the Ruzhu Tower is like a Qiong Tower and a jade house, magnificent and majestic. Even if it is not as good as Wang Xie Fengyue Tower, it is on par with Ci Shu Xianfang.
Qin Shou'an went for a stroll and encountered some things, which were nothing more than jealousy related to women. Qin Shou'an finally won the bet and won a building from the other party.
It was actually useless for him to hold a restaurant. He took the land deed and didn't even go through the procedures of going to the government to verify the deed and pay taxes, and then left Yuanping with his master.
He still remembered this, but he didn't pay much attention to that building. There were so many buildings and real estate under the name of Prince Langya that he couldn't think of searching around like a miser.
"Ruchurugulou is actually the stronghold of our Juyilou in Yuanping. The owner of Ruchurugulou has always been the elder of our Juyilou. To put it this way, Brother Bangyi and I are from the same roots, but we are too anxious to get along with each other. ." Yu Wanqing said with a forced smile.
"Haha..." Qin Shou'an couldn't help laughing. Her words were wrong. She let go of the rope and threw Yu Wanqing to the ground, "It's just that you want to fry me. I don't want to fry you..." You don’t quite deserve it.”
Yu Wanqing was left behind, her butt landed on the ground, her body fell, and her head almost hit the table leg. Although her body hurt in several places, she couldn't help but have some hope. His words had an effect. He wasn't going to kill her?
"I said that that person was so indifferent after losing the Ruchurugulou... In fact, that building basically belongs to your Juyi Tower. After he loses, he only needs to lead your people to kill me." Qin Shou'an was a little confused. He said with sudden realization.
This Juyilou's subordinate is a gangster like Yang You, the owner of the Hexian Shop, who blackmails people. Naturally, he is not a serious Jianghu sect.
People like Liang Shisanniang in the Juyi Building are even the most notorious thieves with a wanted order at the gate of Longyin City. Their people lost the Ruchurugu Building, maybe it was a trap or something.
Anyway, they couldn't easily admit defeat... After Qin Shou'an won the land deed, his master came back and took him out of Yuanping City immediately. There was no chance of encountering Ju Yilou's backhand.
This matter had already passed, and he didn't even take it to heart. He didn't expect that when he met Yu Wanqing today, there would be a follow-up.
The identities and backgrounds of elder-level figures such as Ju Yilou who act secretly are all confidential. However, Yu Wanqing is able to know that Ruchurugulou was once lost to the "No. 1" ranking. This shows that Yu Wanqing either has an improper identity. Low, or he was born in Ruchurulou.
Looking at Yu Wanqing's original rather dissolute and frivolous behavior, and thinking about the flesh-and-blood business in Ruchurugulou, Qin Shou'an was more inclined to believe that she was born in Ruchurugulou, and she was probably not a senior member of Juyi Tower.
After analyzing this conclusion, Qin Shou'an was a little disappointed. He raised his hand and wanted to kill her, so he asked casually:
"Do you know Liang Shisanniang?"
"I know you." Yu Wanqing sensed something bad from Qin Shou'an's cold and disappointed eyes, and nodded hurriedly.
"Talk about it."
Yu Wanqing tried her best to search for things related to Liang Shisanniang in her mind. If she was really an important figure in Juyi Building, how could she be in charge of a river fish shop?
"Liang Shisanniang, she is ranked thirteenth in our Juyi Building. Everyone calls her Shisanniang. Later this name spread to the world and she became Liang Shisanniang." Yu Wanqing thought for a while and said.
"Nonsense, she's not ranked thirteen, how could she be ranked fourteen!" Qin Shou'an kicked Yu Wanqing and said coldly: "If you keep saying these useless things, I will make your life worse than death now."
Yu Wanqing's arm hurt, so she could only endure it and said quickly:
"Every elder has a building. The size, scale and importance of this building represent the elder's status in Juyi Building. Liang Shisanniang is actually a relatively carefree elder in our building. Her Very few people know about this building..."
"Do you know the current whereabouts of Liang Shisanniang?" Qin Shou'an understood that this Yu Wanqing was really just a middle- and lower-level person.
She may have some knowledge about the Ruchurulou where she was born, but she doesn't have much information about the other elder-level figures in the Juyi Tower.
"I don't know...but if she is in Longyin City or in the surrounding areas, I can try to find her..."
All Yu Wanqing could say was that she had to ensure that she had a certain value, otherwise she doubted that this "big brother on the list" would kill her without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll spare your life for the time being." Qin Shou'an thought for a moment and knocked her unconscious with a palm.
As for the fish shop being the stronghold of Juyi Tower, Qin Shou'an had no intention of doing anything to it.
He may have kidnapped Yu Wanqing just to scare off the enemy. If the people in Yijulou were more cautious, they would probably evacuate and abandon the place immediately.
If they hadn't realized that this place had been exposed to official figures like Qin Shouan, they would probably have tried to keep it going.
It’s really funny to think that the Juyi Building in Pingyuan City is as large as Cishu Xianfang and has a bustling crowd, but in Longyin City there is only a river fish shop, which is full of the fishy smell of abalone.
This also fully shows that if it were not for the Jianghu sect recorded in Jiuzhou Mansion, there would not be much chance of taking root in Longyin City.
Famous sects such as the Ancient Ping Seven Star Sword Sect and Riyue Mountain even have their own guild halls in Longyin City, with their disciples stationed in order to facilitate the sect to handle some official affairs, negotiate with other sect forces, etc.
Juyilou is also a well-known gangster, but entering Longyin City is like a mouse crossing the street... Qin Shouan was skeptical that Yu Wanqing could contact Liang Shisanniang.
Anyway, he just gave it a try and found the best one. If he couldn't find it, he killed Yu Wanqing. It was also considered his first sword after taking control of the Kyushu Prefecture... It seemed a bit lacking in weight?
What was the old father's first blow? Check it out next time.
Qin Shou'an mentioned the fainted Yu Wanqing, left the backyard, hid in the sycamore tree, and then came to Wangjin Tower without anyone noticing, and handed Yu Wanqing to the care of the villager Qiao, and then rushed back to the palace.
The people from Zongzheng Temple were waiting obediently outside the door.
It was obvious that Tang Wanrong ignored them as usual... It wasn't that she hadn't calmed down yet, but that Qin Shou'an hadn't returned home yet. The relationship between her and Qin Shou'an, which was neither awkward nor awkward, was not suitable for her to handle on her own, lest he think she was overreaching. .
Anyway, he and Zongzhengji were already at odds with each other. No matter how cold and arrogant he was, the other party could only wait honestly with a smile on his face.
Qin Songchan, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, had his leg broken by Qin Shou'an's kick and was recuperating at home. Qin Shou'an was kind and did not force him to drag his broken leg to Prince Langya's palace for discussion.
"Two young gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Shou'an was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went out yesterday, like a wanderer wandering around in these three lanes and seven alleys.
He walked up to the two young ministers from Zongzheng Temple and cupped his hands before they turned around. It was a little difficult to determine Qin Shouan's identity for a while.
The other person is handsome and elegant, but as the saying goes, respect people first and then others. No matter how good-looking you are, if you are wearing coarse clothes, who will look down on you?
If Qin Shou'an was wearing the official uniform of the Crown Prince, he would not have to say anything as the two young ministers would already be greeting him.
"It's too late today...will there be a good time tomorrow?" Qin Shou'an then asked.
The two young ministers did not know Qin Shou'an, but they knew that there was no time to delay at this moment, and they did not dare to be reserved or arrogant at all, no matter who he was - one of them immediately said: "Tomorrow is the auspicious time, and it is suitable." Succession ceremony.”
"Okay, then it will be midnight tomorrow. Zongzheng Temple can come together with the Palace Steward, the Ministry of Etiquette, etc. to announce the decree. It is too late today, so I will not invite you to the palace for tea."
Qin Shou'an bowed his hands as a farewell. The two young ministers watched Qin Shou'an walk straight into the Langya Palace, and everyone in the palace saluted. Only then did they confirm that he was the one who made the entire Zongzheng Temple tremble. Those who regretted it wanted to kowtow to him. The prince, who was called his ancestor, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was out for a day and night, and Wei Liangzai and Ming Shiyin reported something. Qin Shou'an chatted with them for a few words, and then saw a maid carrying a basket of red bayberries to Yuezhao Fenglai Pavilion.
Isn't she afraid of losing her teeth?
Sending the moon to Feng Lai Pavilion was probably because Tang Wanrong suddenly wanted to try something new.
Qin Shou'an hoped that Hei Ji and Bai Ji would also eat some with her. Then the three of them were so sore that they covered their cheeks and begged him to give him some saliva to relieve the pain.
The bayberries at this season, even the early-maturing varieties, are a bit too sour... Thinking of the big ripe red bayberries in a month, Qin Shou'an couldn't help but salivate.
