Chapter 74

In the second floor Accord, the woman is still increasing her price.
"One thousand taels!"
"This is really not a matter of money, it is dignity and bottom line!"
Seeing Lin Xiu's firm attitude, the woman was a little disappointed in her eyes and said, "If you regret it, you can come to Baoding Hou Mansion to find me at any time. We can still negotiate the price..."
Unexpectedly, this woman had the background of the second-class marquis’ mansion, Lin Xiu said helplessly: “Madam, let me tell me what you want me to do.”
Speaking of this, the woman showed a fierce look in her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "That bastard, eating mine, living mine, spending my money, and even dared to look for a woman on her back. I want you to help me get the evidence that he betrayed me. After the matter is done, I will give you a thousand taels of reward!"
Lin Xiu quickly figured out the situation of this woman.
It turned out that she had a little white face, who usually provided him with food, drink and fun, provided that the little white face wanted to have fun with her.
In recent days, she found that the public food that Xiaobai handed over was seriously insufficient, so she suspected that she had been green. For this reason, she found several secret detectives, but she did not find any key evidence. Lin Xiu was already the fifth secret detective she had replaced.
It seems that this business is a bit difficult, but Lin Xiu still took it with it with pleasure.
After all, a thousand taels of silver was a big temptation to him.
There is another detail that Lin Xiu was speechless. This rich woman kept another young man and asked him not to be too greedy for herself. But what she said to Lin Xiu just now was that she could do anything except time with her, and this was obviously a different treatment.
Before leaving, the woman did not forget to remind Lin Xiu: "If you change your mind, remember to come to me!"
After paying 100 taels in advance, she reluctantly left here.
After finally seeing her away, Lin Xiu saw Caiyi’s smile on the corner of her mouth and asked, “Miss Caiyi, why are you laughing at?”
Caiyi smiled and said, "I just think the young master has a bottom line and perseverance. He has 1,000 taels of silver per month. How many people can withstand such a great temptation?"
In fact, Lin Xiu couldn't resist it. Based on the prices of this world, one thousand taels of silver is about one million yuan in later generations, one million yuan per month. Even if it is a steel wool warning... some people may have gritted their teeth and endured it.
Lin Xiu said to Caiyi helplessly: "Actually, I like silver too, but that lady, I really can't do it. If it were Caiyi's girl, I would rather say a thousand taels, a hundred taels..."
After Caiyi and Lin Xiu got to know each other, he let go of him every time he flirted with him. He just smiled softly and said, "Then I want to make money well. At that time, the young master must remember what he said today..."
"After a word is expressed, it is hard to pursue it. I am waiting for the girl in colorful clothes..."
...
After teasing Caiyi in Lihuayuan for a while, Lin Xiu returned to Lin's mansion. He did not forget that he had some serious things to do.
This is the first business he received as a secret detective. He must do a beautiful job in order to gain fame. This is crucial for a new secret detective.
The woman had already given Lin Xiu the appearance and address of the young man. What Lin Xiu had to do was to monitor the movements of this person, and it would be best to find evidence of his betrayal of the woman.
Lin Xiu didn't have to do this kind of thing by himself. After bribing the thrush with a meal of bird food, it flew out to help Lin Xiu monitor the target.
It was not until two hours later that it flapped its wings and flew into Lin Xiu's room from the window, landed on the table, and screamed a few times.
Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Are you lost?"
Xiao Huamei screamed a few more times, and Lin Xiu felt thoughtful after hearing this.
Just over an hour ago, it saw the target leave home and enter a restaurant for dinner, but then it did not come out. Later, it was impatient to wait and went to the man's house to look at it, and found that he had already returned home.
When a normal person hears this, his first reaction is that when the target leaves the restaurant, he is distracted and does not notice it, but Lin Xiu doesn't think so.
In order to find evidence of this person's betrayal, Lin Xiu was not the only secret detective that the rich woman looked for. Before him, she also found four secret detectives with higher reputation than Lin Xiu, the newcomer, but without exception, they all failed.
Before looking for a secret detective, she asked the servants around her to follow the man, but she still found nothing.
This business is indeed a bit difficult.
It seems that this thousand taels of silver is not easy to make. Lin Xiu asked Huamei to observe the target for two more days and found that he would leave home at a fixed time every afternoon, and then lose his trace until two or three hours later, he would appear directly at home.
This also aroused Lin Xiu's interest. On this day, he took Dahuang and Huamei out in person. Seeing the man entering a restaurant, he sat next to the tea stall outside the restaurant, drinking tea while waiting.
It is time for dinner now, and people come in and out of the restaurant from time to time, but the goal that Lin Xiu had to wait for did not appear.
At one moment, Dahuang, who was lying at Lin Xiu's feet, suddenly sniffed, and then whispered: "Master, Master, he's out!"
Lin Xiu immediately looked at the restaurant door, but found nothing. Just as he was confused, Dahuang said again: "Master, it is the person who just walked out. Although his appearance changed and he changed his clothes, the smell on his body did not change!"
Lin Xiu's eyes immediately locked at a young man wearing a gray long gown. This person's appearance was also very handsome, but he was very different from Lin Xiu's tracking targets and his clothes were also different. However, the height and body shape of the two were very similar.
Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and soon realized something, and suddenly stood up.
This person is a person with extraordinary skills, and he can change his face!
No wonder, neither the servants of the Hou Mansion nor the secret detectives before Lin Xiu found evidence of him finding a woman. Hua Mei always returned in vain, and even Lin Xiu was deceived. Fortunately, she came out to bring Dahuang today.
He can change his appearance, but he cannot change his smell.
A trace of heat appeared in Lin Xiu's eyes, and he followed without any trace.
What he was thinking at the moment was not just about the one thousand taels of reward, but the ability to disguise was so important to him now!
It can be said that Lin Xiu's face caused him a lot of trouble. Wang didn't know how many people wanted to kill him secretly. Although His Majesty sent people from the Secret Detective Department to protect him, Lin Xiu also lost his freedom.
He knew that the two secret detectives were protecting him in the dark, and his safety was guaranteed, but he had no secrets of his own.
If there is another thunderstorm next time, Lin Xiu will have no way to go out to practice again. This is a problem he has been worried about.
If he could change his face, things would be much easier.
When doing something that cannot be known to others, or is inconvenient to others, he can change his face and identity, and do it silently, and no longer have to worry about being assassinated in the street or being exposed the biggest secret.
And the premise of all this is to obtain the ability of this person!
Liu Dong walked on the bustling streets, feeling very disdainful.
The short, fat and ugly stupid woman actually had suspicion of him and hired a secret detective to investigate him. It was a joke. Liu Dong had been living in many years and relied on this ability to disguise her face. Even if he went out to find a woman every day, she could not find any evidence.
If it weren't for her money and her extravagant life, he wouldn't have gone to the bed of the dead fat pig. He was held in a lump of fat every day and fell asleep with a piece of fat meat, which gave him a huge shadow. Only those beautiful and gentle little sisters in the brothel could comfort his injured heart...
As for the fat pig, she will ask someone to check it slowly. Even if you check it casually, he will lose if he finds the evidence!
Thinking of this in my heart, Liu Dong had already walked to the entrance of a brothel that Changlai had.
After rubbing the girls who were taking guests at the door a few times, Liu Dong hugged one with one hand and walked in with a smile, preparing to comfort himself and comfort the grievances he suffered last night.
Lin Xiu stood on the street not far away, watching all this silently.
He knew that few people could withstand the temptation of struggling for thirty years, especially after entering society and being beaten by life, they would gradually realize that dignity and bottom line are actually the most valuable things. Some people would choose to take shortcuts if they gritted their teeth.
Dreams are not worth mentioning in the face of reality.
But few people understand that the gift of fate has already been secretly bidding for the price.
It is not so easy to walk on the shortcut to struggle for 30 years. In the last life, Lin Xiu knew that many handsome men and beautiful women who were young and kept by rich women and rich people actually spent money to have fun in private. Their psychological depression has been suppressed for a long time and needs to be released more than normal people.
Especially the little puppy and wolf dogs kept by rich women, their situation is even more miserable, because men's desires in certain aspects will decrease with age, and they pursue more things, money, power, and these are more attractive to them than beauty. Occasionally, they find beautiful girls to meet normal physiological needs.
But women are different. Their desires will increase with age and more means, and some are unheard of. Lin Xiu felt chill when he heard that description. There was no need to say more about the misery of those who experienced it personally.
Lin Xiu understood Liu Dong's behavior, but did not sympathize with him.
There is no free lunch in this world. Since you have decided to be a novice, you must have the awareness of being a novice. Judging from the young man's career, his behavior has also been considered a violation of the industry rules.
Lin Xiu found a teahouse opposite the brothel to have tea, and gave the teahouse staff two cents of silver, asking him to go to the Baoding Marquis' Mansion to invite the woman over, and said that he had found clues about Liu Dong's betrayal of her.
Half an hour later, a round body led more than a dozen servants from the Marquis' Mansion to the entrance of the brothel.
Lin Xiu walked out of the teahouse, and the woman asked angrily: "Where is that dog thing?"
Lin Xiu said: "Don't worry, wait until he comes out."
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I can't wait!"
After saying that, she rushed in with a dozen servants and entered the brothel. She brought a chair, blocked the door, and said, "Look for me, find one by one!"
It's not yet evening, and there are not many people who choose to have fun at this time. Including Liu Dong, there are only three guests in this brothel.
The three of them were having fun, and they were kicked into the door. They were immediately frightened, but when they saw the aura of the visitor, they didn't dare to say anything. They put on their clothes in shame and got down from the upstairs.
When Liu Dong saw the fat woman sitting at the door, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
He is absolutely sure that no one can recognize him.
At this time, the fat woman also found that there was no one she was looking for here. She looked at Lin Xiu and said in confusion: "Where are the people you mentioned?"
Lin Xiu walked to Liu Dong, stretched out his hand in his horrified eyes, pulled Liu Dong's face to both sides, and rubbed it.
Then, a magical scene happened.
After Lin Xiu rubbed and pulled, the young man's face just now turned into another look.
Liu Dong looked scared, but the fat woman's eyes suddenly widened.
She suddenly stood up from the chair, and endless rage surged in her heart, and she shouted: "Damn it, I offer you food and clothing. Do you dare to look for a woman on your back and beat me hard!"
The followers she brought immediately rushed forward, kicked Liu Dong to the ground, and punched him.
"Yuanyuan, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"I will never dare to do it again!"
"You spare me this time!"
...
Liu Dong held his head and kept begging for mercy on the ground, but the fat woman had no intention of stopping. She showed disgust on her face and said, "I hate the man I betray the most. Beat me, don't stop!"
The ability to disguise is just the lowest level of magic, without attack or defense. After the punches and kicks of more than a dozen strong men, they quickly fainted.
Seeing that the woman still had no intention of stopping, Lin Xiu walked over and said, "Stop fighting, it will cause death, no one can end."
He separated the crowd and put Liu Dongkang who had fainted on his shoulder, saying, "I've knocked him out, so I'll take him to the clinic first. If something happens, it won't be good. That, Miss Yuanyuan, we will see you later."
Carrying Liu Dong, Lin Xiu walked out of the brothel on his own.
At the same time, the healing power in his body had already wandered around this person's body and had some understanding of his physical condition. He had just broken two ribs and fainted from the pain. There was no big problem.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiu threw the man in the nearest clinic, leaving a few pieces of silver, and then came to Lihuayuan.
The woman was already waiting here.
Lin Xiu said to her: "I have placed someone in Tongren's clinic and paid the medical fee in advance. The lady will ask her to collect it later."
The woman snorted coldly and said, "Who is my mother? She will betrayal forever. For that dog man, let him die on his own."
Then, she gave Lin Xiu a charming look and said, "What is her name? I am not much older than you, I call her sister..."
A charming look almost made Lin Xiu spit out the overnight dinner. The woman was probably a few years older than her mother. She really couldn't call out her sister Lin Xiu.
The woman looked at Lin Xiu and praised: "This dog man can actually change his appearance. No wonder I have found several secret detectives before, but none of them caught him. This little brother is really outstanding. How about it? Have you thought about it? As long as you follow me, you can get 1,000 taels of silver every month. Even if you raise other women outside, I don't care..."
Lin Xiu said decisively: "I have found the evidence of that man's betrayal. I'll ask my wife for the subsequent remuneration..."
The woman looked at Lin Xiu with dissatisfaction, took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve, and said, "Isn't it just one thousand taels? I followed me, and there are several one thousand taels..."
Lin Xiu took the silver note and said seriously: "I'm sorry, madam, I'm a serious person. I have received education since I was a child and I don't allow me to do such things..."
The woman shook her head and stopped forcing her to say, "You are still too young. What dignity and bottom line are all false. What I say is still effective. When will you change your mind and when will you come to me..."
Although Lin Xiu is not a serious person, he also picks people.
If the words were Caiyi or Lingyin Xue Ning'er, he might have agreed, but... he was really ruthless.
The headmaster of Lihuayuan stood behind Lin Xiu and said enviously: "One thousand taels of silver, our theater can't make so much in a few years. These people are really rich..."
Although all the roads lead to Rome, some people are born to live in Rome.
What they have at birth is something that ordinary people cannot have in their entire lives. It is like this now, and in a few thousand years, it will still be like this.
That's why some people have chosen a shortcut to fight for decades and gave up their efforts at a young age. Lin Xiu also hopes that a young and beautiful rich woman will give him 100,000 taels so that he won't have to work hard to make money to practice.
Of course, Lin Xiu’s biggest gain today is not that one thousand taels.
He returned to Lin's mansion, closed the door, and came to the bronze mirror.
Lin Xiu touched his face, and his face changed a little, and he eventually turned into a simple man.
It was Sun Dali.
Then, Sun Dali's face turned into Li Baizhang, Liu Qingfeng, and Yang Xuan...
He originally wanted to become Lingyin and Caiyi, but later he thought about it and found that this feeling was too inconsistent. He was prone to embarrassment when he saw them next time, so he gave up this idea.
Lin Xiu was having a lot of fun playing in the room alone. This disguise technique seems to be different from what is recorded in the book. The book says that this technique can change a person's face, but it takes time to change, and the face cannot be subjected to external forces, otherwise the prototype will appear, but it is not the case with Lin Xiu.
He changes as soon as he wants, and different faces can even be changed seamlessly. Moreover, even if he knead his face hard, the faces of others that have changed will not change.
Lin Xiu quickly realized the reason.
The disguise technique is a yellow-level inferior magic technique. In history, people who awaken this ability have only the first level of awakening. Of course, they become slow and are easily destroyed by external forces.
But Lin Xiu was exerting this ability with the level of energy of the second awakening, and naturally became faster and more stable.
In a sense, from now on, the ability to disguise is already the best in the yellow-level class.
However, after getting familiar with this ability, Lin Xiu also discovered a disadvantage of this ability.
That is, he can only change his face, but not other parts of his body, such as height, body shape, etc. If he becomes a woman, he will only be at the airport, and he has an Adam's apple, he will be seen through at first sight.
In general, with Lin Xiu's current strength, there are still many limitations in using this ability. I wonder if there will be some changes after the Yuanli awakening many times.
