"This is impossible!! Mother Zhang said that in two years, when I make enough money as an courtesan, she will let me go free!!" Liu Meng'er stepped back again and again, with a look of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.
Chen Mo chuckled: "Miss Liu, are you stupid or naive? Do you know how much silver Duan Konghen gave you to redeem you?"
"A full thousand taels! You have been an oiran for two years, and it's hard to say you can earn a thousand taels. Now a sponsor has come to buy you directly. Can she disagree? Besides..." Chen Mo said unceremoniously. He attacked and said: "Do you really think it is difficult to learn these chess, calligraphy and painting? I dare to ask Miss Liu, no matter how good my painting skills are, how difficult is it to train another oiran?"
Chen Mo's words were like a few piercing sharp knives stabbing Liu Meng'er's chest. Although there was no blood on her chest, it was enough to make her lose her mind. She collapsed on the ground without any image, and murmured: "No." Possible...impossible..."
How could she not know that everything Chen Mo said was probably true. The middle-aged man with a fierce face had been to Zuimeng Tower many times, and every time he stared at her under the stands, he looked at her with suspicion. With good intentions, the feeling of trying to eat her into his stomach was creepy. That person should be the Duan Konghen he mentioned. If she was to commit herself to that kind of person, it would be better to let Liu Menger die.
Chen Mo stepped forward step by step and said in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, you don't have to worry too much. Since Zhao asked you to come here, it is to solve this matter. To be honest, I want to kill Duan Konghen, but this I still need your help with something!"
"But don't think that I can't kill him without you..." Chen Mo continued: "Otherwise, I can see that he has harmed you before doing anything. Zhao just can't bear to have a flower that grows out of the mud and remains untouched. The lotus has just been trampled on."
When Liu Meng'er heard that things were about to turn around, she looked at Chen Mo with her big round eyes: "What do you need me to do?"
Finally got to the point!
Chen Mo smiled slightly, took out a small packet of paper from his arms, and said: "I have a packet of poison 'Duangchang Powder' that people in the martial arts world are also afraid of. You can hide a small amount of the powder in your nails, and Duan Konghen will drink it with you. , you use the excuse to pour wine and put colorless and odorless poison into the wine. I will hide nearby and move randomly according to the situation. When the poison is released, I will take his life. What do you think?"
"If the little girl kills him, and his men find out about it, she will not escape death!" After hearing this, Liu Meng'er shook her head. Although it was feasible, she still had deep concerns about Chen Mo's plan.
"After the matter is completed, I will guarantee that you will leave Zuimenglou and protect you for a while. How about this?"
Liu Meng'er: "You guarantee it?"
Chen Mo suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot to mention, I am the leader of the Niushui Alliance in Dongcheng District, Zhao Ping."
"Are you Gang Leader Zhao?!!"
Xiao Taohong's eyes widened. She only knew that Chu Zhentian asked her to cooperate with a big figure in the alliance to do things, but she didn't expect that the leader of the Against the Water Alliance took action himself!
How old is this person? Judging from the fact that he is less than twenty years old, can he be Duan Konghen's opponent? Xiao Taohong was shocked, but this person actually wanted to kill him. How could he make such wild remarks without the strength?
Liu Meng'er knew that this was an opportunity that could determine her fate. If she missed it, she would have missed it. She said cruelly: "I did it. I hope Gang Leader Zhao won't let me down!"
Chen Mo smiled: "That's right. I will give you two a portrait later. Don't make anyone suspicious. Just treat this as a pure shopping trip. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact Xiao Taohong. Understand. Yet?"
...
Half an hour later, the two girls left the gallery with two scrolls and large and small packages on their backs. They bought some food and returned to Zuimeng Building. They chattered about what happened on the street today. After saying hello to Zhang's mother, she returned to the room and tried on rouge and gouache, as if nothing really happened.
After burning the incense, a thin-eyed man in ordinary clothes saw Zhang's mother, walked over quietly, and said in her ear: "Sister, there is no problem. Liu Meng'er has not contacted any other suspicious people today."
"That's good." Zhang's mother's eyes were sharp: "Keep an eye on it, don't let the money go away. I don't need to explain the reason for using money to do things!"
"Yes." The slender-eyed man cupped his hands.
...
Three days later, the news that Duan Konghen was going to marry Liu Meng'er spread like wildfire in Zuimeng Tower. The latter, who knew the truth, cried bitterly and asked for an explanation from Zhang's mother, but all she got was the strict guard of many guards. She was locked up in the house, and two old women were assigned to take care of her food and daily life, fearing that she would not be able to think about it and commit suicide.
In short, all activities were monitored by Zuimenglou. As long as the person is handed over to Duan Konghen in a few days, their life and death will no longer be in their hands.
Two days later, another news came from the slums. The Nishui Alliance that occupied Dongcheng District was already a thing of the past, and the area was eroded by the Wild Wolf Gang to less than one-fifth of its original size. Everyone knew that in a few days, , even if they fight back on their deathbed, this gang may cease to exist in a few days.
After the Wild Wolf Gang occupied Dongcheng District, they did not make things too difficult for the poor people. After all, there will be a lot of time in the future. You can bully them as much as you want. There is no need to rush. This is very painful for the poor people in Dongcheng District. They were beaten again just when they had some hope. Returning to the original shape, the sky over the entire slum area was inexplicably plunged into a suppressed sadness that could not be dissipated for a long time.
.
Duan Konghen was in a very good mood. He would soon capture the impoverished Dongcheng District, and he would marry a beautiful girl. It was a double happiness. He chose a happy day, set off from Nancheng District at night, and hired someone in the county. Some festive carriages and horses are ready for use tomorrow. He will consummate the bridal chamber first tonight.
Under the cover of the moonlight, Duan Konghen entered Zuimeng Tower. There was no festive atmosphere here, so it was okay. There were quite a lot of guests in the attic. Zhang’s mother saw Duan Konghen in the middle hall. Alone, he hurried over to greet him and said with a charming smile: "Hey! Isn't this Boss Duan! What kind of wind has brought you here!"
Duan Konghen smiled slightly: "Of course you are here to find my wife. Where is she?"
The cattail leaf fan in Zhang's mother's hand swayed a few times, then she leaned into his ear and whispered: "Hurry up and go to the Peony Pavilion on the second floor. I'm late, but the beautiful lady can't wait!"
The latter was so horny after hearing this that he hurried up to the second floor before Zhang's mother finished speaking. There was no lamp in the room, and only two guards stood on both sides of the door.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two, take it to drink!"
Duan Konghen took out a handful of silver notes from his arms and slapped them on the two guards. The latter were overjoyed, thanked them and left, leaving Duan Konghen alone. He smiled and pushed Opened the door.
"Little beauty, where are you?"
The room was a little dark, but through the moonlight, Liu Meng'er could still be seen beside the bed. Duan Konghen smiled lewdly and took out the fire sticks, lit all the candles around the room, and covered the lampshades. He had been waiting for so long, Not bad at this time.
Liu Meng'er's eyes were red and she was sobbing softly. I felt pity for him when he looked like pear blossoms in the rain. Duan Konghen didn't care about this. There was a pot of wine and two wine glasses on the table. He was minding his own business first. After taking a sip, he showed a sense of comfort and smiled evilly: "Little beauty, stop crying! I will make you feel comfortable tonight!"
Liu Meng'er raised her head and looked at Duan Konghen. The wrinkles on her face mixed with some scars made this man look ferocious. She said sadly: "Now that the deal is done, let the little girl get drunk, and she won't be able to sleep in her dreams." There will be pain.”
As he said that, he walked towards the table with gentle steps. Duan Konghen was not in a hurry and happily sat beside the bed. He greedily took a deep breath in the girl's boudoir, feeling slightly satisfied.
Liu Meng'er poured two glasses of wine, one was handed to Duan Konghen, and the other was held by herself. The hand that gave him the wine was trembling: "You... drink it!"
Duan Konghen narrowed his eyes: "Slow down!"
Liu Meng'er's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what was going on and was so frightened that she froze on the spot.
Then, Duan Konghen smiled strangely and said, "Since we are husband and wife, how about having a drink?"
Liu Meng'er suddenly turned red: "What do you mean!"
"I suspect there's something wrong with this wine!" Duan Konghen suddenly sneered, snatched Liu Meng'er's wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and stared at her with a look that made her tremble: "You...drink my wine now! "
Liu Meng'er was so angry that she trembled all over: "My surname is Duan, I agree to marry you! But if you dare to insult me again, I will never be done with you!" After that, she raised her head and drank his glass. Bottom up.
Duan Konghen raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Meng'er in confusion, as if he had really mistaken her.
"Don't let me look down on you!" Liu Meng'er turned around, poured another glass of wine, flicked the glass gently, took a glass for herself, and said sarcastically: "Are you going to drink another glass of wine?"
"All right."
Duan Konghen took the wine, Liu Meng'er's heart was pounding, she couldn't stand it anymore, this feeling seemed to burst out of her throat, Duan Konghen looked at her, and just about to raise his head, suddenly It fell again. Then he gave a sinister sneer.
"Little bitch!! Do you think you and Zhao Ping are colluding and conspiring? Don't I know?"
Duan Konghen shouted loudly, and Liu Meng'er was so frightened that her wine glass dropped to the ground with a clang, leaving her dumbfounded.
It turns out that the other party knows everything!
Duan Konghen was very satisfied with her frightened eyes, and he smiled proudly. He took out a silver needle from his arms and stirred it in the wine glass. In an instant, the silver needle was coated with a layer of pitch black. It was indeed poisonous!
"Duangchangsan! You bitch is so cruel!" Duan Konghen slapped Liu Meng'er unexpectedly on the face, causing blood to flow from the corner of the latter's mouth. When Liu Meng'er saw what happened was revealed, her eyes were filled with hatred. Staring at the empty mark, as if he wanted to remember it in his bones, he suddenly took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into his heart without any hesitation.
This was her last resort after agreeing to Chen Mo.
