Chapter 35: Homecoming and the Bad News
There is no money, no life."
Zhou Liuzi looked at the road very simply and barely. He had figured it out. Since he couldn't die well, he would just live and live even if he tried his best.
"Aren't you a top killer? Are you so poor?" Lu Lili looked at Zhou Liuzi's eyes, full of suspicion.
"You also know that I am a killer. The life of a killer is one day or another, and no one knows that one day will die silently. So before every mission, I always try to spend all my money. Drink the best wine, go to the most expensive building, and sleep the most popular girl.";
Zhou Liuzi's eyes were calm, as if he was not talking about himself.
Lu Li's eyes were so sophisticated. He turned around and looked at Zhou Liuzi for a while, and felt a little envious: "Have you been to Chengdu Mansion? The girl you slept the most popular?"
Zhou Liuzi stood upright and replied proudly: "Of course I have been there. The little red girl from Qunfangyuan on Qibao Street has no expenses of hundreds of taels, so I don't even bother to look at you. Such a charming beauty has been with me for three days and three nights."
I was stunned for a while after a long time of road. It seems that the most expensive and most popular ones in my eyes this Saturday are probably not at all.
"It's not bad, it's much better than Boss Hu, that country bumpkin. Since you are so generous, how could you conflict with Boss Hu and his group for a little shipment?";
"How could I, Zhou Liuzi, have a conflict with people for the mere shipment? It was when Boss Hu saw that the jade pendant on me was precious and he became unfaithful, so the conflict started." Zhou Liuzi was so contemptuous that he held his mouth.
"What kind of jade pendant, come and see it." Lu Lele asked indifferently.
Zhou Liuzi used his left hand to fumble around his waist for a while, untied the knot, and threw a jade pendant to Lu.
I reached out to catch it and saw that the jade pendant was not as big as a palm, but it was snow-white, shiny and shiny, and was spiritual and transparent. It was a rare high-quality jade. I tied it around my waist at the road, and I was about to return to my hometown. I was a scholar and tribute to each county and township. Without a high-quality jade pendant, how could I see people?
Zhou Liuzi was stunned for a moment. Is this what you said?
Lu Lele was embarrassed to see and said shamelessly: "I will borrow this jade pendant and take it with you first. When you pay the compensation, I will pay it back to you."
Can you still get the meat bun back when thrown to the dog? Zhou Liuzi was speechless and his face became very ugly.
Lu Lele played with the jade pendant in his hand, and didn't look at Zhou Liuzi's expression: "Now you can ask, what is the origin of Mr. Luo, why did you assassinate him?"
Zhou Liuzi said angrily: "Others want to tell you personally that you don't listen, and now you remember to ask me?"
"What do you know! If he wasn't anxious to tell me personally, I asked instead. He wanted to tell me, obviously want to take me into the pit! Curiosity will kill people. But now no one knows where others are, so it's natural to be safer."
Lu LeLe shook his folding fan on his hand, his waist shaking, and the jade pendant shaking around his waist, feeling very proud.
Zhou Liuzi was completely convinced by the way. Where did the monster of this age teach him? A smile appeared on his face: "You are very good at seeking profit and avoiding harm, but you want to ask now, but there is no answer for you. Because we killers don't know anything except the target of the assassination."
Seeing Zhou Liuzi's gloating look, Lu Leye wanted to beat him up. But how could Mr. Lu be so ungraceful? Besides, Zhou Liuzi's cooking skills are extraordinary. Recently, Tang Xiaoqi, the young lady of the Lu family, was praised and satisfied. He didn't dare to easily injure Zhou Liuzi.
He waved his hand and drove Zhou Liuzi out like a fly.
When the boat arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, he cried heartbrokenly and shouted to the sky and the earth. With a wave of his hand, Zhou Liuzi asked him to sell it to the bargain. He bought two carriages, countless gifts, and everything he had prepared to get married. He was ready to return home in glory after the road.
Boss Hu really shaved himself into a bald head, and became a coachman with no desire to see him along the way. The young man killed this day was an evil ghost from hell! Not to mention his own money along the way, the passenger ship left by the old ghost father was sold was still only interest. There is no accurate number of how much he should pay. This life is over.
Jinshui Town is still as calm and peaceful under the sun. Under the old locust tree at the head of the town, several idle old men were drinking coarse tea and relaxing in the cool air. An old yellow dog crawled on the ground, spitting out his long tongue, and the dog's eyes were wide open, watching two carriages driving into the town.
Wang Shouren was holding a two or three-year-old girl in her hand, looking like a two or three-year-old girl, slowly walked towards the only tavern in the town. Hearing the sound of horse hooves "tap" and carefully avoided the street.
The carriage suddenly stopped beside Wang Shouren. A young scholar in luxury walked down and shook a folding fan coquettishly, iodine on his belly that had no flesh at all. A precious jade pendant swayed around, which clearly showed his master's noble identity.
Wang Shouren secretly "sniffed" in his heart. Another King of Heaven, I bought one piece to tie it around my waist. I don't have to erect my belly, and I'm more coquettish than you. But Xiaolian is so cruel. After a few years of marrying herself, the family's financial power was captured in her hands, and even the old man had to listen to her. It was probably because he wanted to buy such a high-quality treasure jade.
"I said to Fatty Wang, where did you kidnap such a beautiful little girl? She dared to sway on the street in broad daylight."
Wang Shouren was furious when he heard this. This was obviously a kind of labor and capital. Can't fat people give birth to beautiful daughters? He looked up and was about to sway back. When he saw the smiling face, he immediately smiled happily: "Who else do I say? I dare to tease me Wang Shouren so boldly in Jinshui Town. It turns out that it's Brother Lelai, you are back."
Lu Lilai deliberately showed off for a long time, but the fat man recognized himself and felt like he was walking in the night. However, the joy of seeing his companions when he was young instantly diluted the others.
"I think this little girl's eyebrows are vaguely like Miss Xiaolian. It seems that you have finally got what you want, fat man.";
"Haha, hehe, Xiaolian has been married to me for four years. Not only did she give birth to such a beautiful daughter, but she also had a fat boy over one year old."
Wang Shouren smiled proudly.
Lu Lele was not willing to show weakness, so he lifted the curtain of the car and helped Tang Xiaoqi out: "This is my Lu Lelele's wife, why don't you call my sister-in-law quickly!"
Although Xiaolian is known as the best girl in Jinshui Town, she is the daughter of a hunter family. No matter how good she looks, her temperament is the same as that of Tang Xiaoqi. Fatty Wang saw it and was shocked. After a while, she couldn't help but admire Lu Leye, and she was worthy of being the boss of the Five Tigers in Jinshui Town.
After entering the school, Wang Shouren knew some etiquette and bowed slightly to Tang Xiaoqi: "Wang Shouren has met his sister-in-law."
After all, he had not yet officially got married to Lu Lili, and Tang Xiaoqi's face turned red with shame. At this time, he only had a slight picture and gave him a gift.
"Haha, why are you so embarrassed? You've gotten home. You got married after seeing my father. Fatty Wang has just been shouting for two days." Lu LeLe smiled proudly.
Wang Shouren's face suddenly changed, and he pulled Lu LeLe aside, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Brother Le A, that, your father passed away a few years ago."
"What did you say!" Lu heard this and shouted loudly in disbelief, which scared Tang Xiaoqi, who was teasing the little girl beside him.
Wang Shouren's mouth squirmed for a long time: "Aren't there a thief in the town back then? Aunt Zhao's family didn't see you father and son in the second day in the market. When she went to your house, she saw that the door was open. When she walked in, she found that your father was lying in the dining room and his body was already stiff. The blood on the ground said that if I die, I will be buried in the peach blossom forest behind the town."
Lu Lili held his head with his hands, and his body softened and he squatted on the ground: "How is that possible? How is it possible? The wound was obviously bandaged. My father was so skilled in medicine, so why would he die? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
"The coroner from the county has been tested and there are no other injuries. There is a knife on the lower abdomen, and it should have died of excessive bleeding in the abdomen."
Wang Shouren explained in a low voice.
Lu Li suddenly ran to his former home like crazy. The seal of the official house on the door was broken by wind and rain. No matter how unconvinced he pushed open the door, the room was covered with thick dust and the herb cabinet was covered with spider silk. It was obvious that no one had been here for many years.
In the small courtyard behind, the place where herbs were planted was covered with wild flowers and weeds, and almost all the doors were closed. The road was gone and sat on the ground, tears flowed out silently. He was close to the dining room in front of him, and he didn't dare to walk in at all.
Wang Shouren took his daughter to the tavern and handed it over to his wife Xiaolian. After sighing for a long time, he finally rushed to Lu Lelai's house again.
Tang Xiaoqi and Luoluo's little nun slowly cleaned up the room, and Boss Hu worked hard to weed in the courtyard. Zhou Liuzi was sent to buy incense, candles, white cloth and other things. The little monk Wuhua chanted scriptures at the entrance of the dining room to save the dead souls.
Lu Li, who was sitting at the table, had red eyes. When he saw Wang Shouren walking in, he grabbed him: "Tell me what happened later."
"Later, the county master said that this was a thief who committed a crime, so he could only offer a reward notice first, but the prisoner was difficult to catch. But Aunt Zhao refused to give up and finally moved out all your grandfather who was an imperial physician in the capital. No matter what, he had to find the missing you and the murderer. The county master had no choice but to send someone to inquire about your news."
Lu Lili naturally knew who the murderer was. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.
