Ning'an Building has been in Hengxiang for so many years. Others have asked Ning'an Building to do things. Ning'an Building rarely asks others for services.
Now the carriage drove in with great swagger, causing many servants in the backyard to come and look across the yard.
Shen Xu wore a hood, leaving nothing but a slender and tall figure.
He didn't even see Manager Chu.
There were only Hongwen, Dingchun and the young apprentice in the house.
The middle man who came with them was standing outside the door.
His face is really fierce, and when expressionless, he looks like a debt collector.
When Shen Shu took off his hood, his handsome face surprised Hongwen and Dingchun.
The young apprentice was not surprised and followed Shen Xu's previous instructions to tell them to stand farther away.
After confirming that the angle they were standing at was acceptable, Shen Xu took off the gloves on his hands, revealing his wrinkled and withered hands, opened the herb box, and took out the tools one by one.
"You have nothing to do here," Shen Xu said calmly, "If you don't want to stay here, you can go out. If you want to learn the techniques, you can stay."
"Who wants to steal your master?" the little apprentice's neck stiffened, "I don't care."
Shen Xu turned to look at him and smiled: "No, I didn't say that."
Although his voice was hoarse, his tone was very gentle, and his long black hair looked like silk under the light. Hongwen and Dingchun in the distance saw his handsome profile and slow speaking voice, and they both felt that the scene in front of them was beautiful. Like a painting.
The young apprentice will not be deceived by him now. He knows that no matter how beautiful his smile is, how sinister he is.
"Since I don't have anything to do here, I'll go out," the young apprentice said.
Before leaving, the young apprentice looked at Yiqiu on the bed.
Yiqiu was lying there, her bright eyes staring blankly at Shen Shu's face.
Really, the young apprentice is speechless. Can't these women, one by one, make a living?
When I see a good-looking man, my eyes almost close together...
The young apprentice opened the door and left, but the door was closed again.
Shen Xu looked back at Yi Qiu and smiled warmly: "Do you think I look familiar?"
Yiqiu thought for a moment and shook her head: "No."
"Oh? Have you never seen anyone similar to me?"
"No……"
"That's right," Shen Shu said with a smile, "that's true. If you think about it carefully, it seems that he has never been to Hengxiang in these years."
"Doctor, who is it?" Yiqiu was curious.
Shen Xu smiled and looked into her eyes: "I don't want others to know the appearance of my hands."
If he hadn't said anything, Yiqiu wouldn't have noticed at all.
Following his words, Yiqiu looked at his hands.
The shape of the hand is very beautiful. The burned skin on the hand looks ferocious under the yellowish light, but it does not have an overpowering visual impact.
"Okay, what a pity..." Yiqiu said hoarsely, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Thank you." Shen Shu smiled.
The young apprentice went outside, but Manager Chu was no longer there.
It's not that Manager Chu doesn't care about Yi Qiu, but that he has too many things to do.
Also, Ning'an Building is confident. If it dares to let people in, it is not afraid of people making small moves. The thugs hired by Ning'an Building are all top-notch.
The little apprentice stood at the door and glanced at the middle man next to him, who "all the world owes him a lot of debts." The little apprentice felt that standing here was boring, so he simply walked out of the courtyard and stood in the backyard for a while.
The servant who had just given him a hand-warmer saw him coming out, so she came over out of curiosity to ask what had happened. As we chatted, the topic soon turned to marriage. She asked the young apprentice if he wanted to find a wife, and she guaranteed to be a matchmaker.
The young apprentice quickly refused. After the servant woman was called away, the young apprentice immediately retreated to the long alley in the backyard.
The world is finally at ease!
But, it doesn't seem that clean either.
The young apprentice turned his head and looked into the alley.
Just then, I saw the innermost courtyard door suddenly closed.
It must be a coincidence that someone happened to go in.
The young apprentice looked back.
It was really cold outside, but fortunately he had a small hand warmer in his hand.
The young apprentice stomped onto a short square stone stack not far away, looking at the bright lights of the long alley.
It's great to have money. Just say a few words and you can light up a sea of lights here.
At this time, I heard a noise coming from the innermost part, and someone's courtyard door was opened.
It feels like the one that just closed.
The young apprentice turned around and saw a tall man wearing a large hood and a black coat walking from inside.
He is not as tall as Shen Xu, but with his physique, Shen Xu may not even be able to catch the opponent's punch.
Thinking casually, the young apprentice looked back.
This man walked very slowly and his footsteps were slow. For some reason, the little apprentice always felt a chill on the back of his neck.
As this person got closer and closer, the discomfort the young apprentice felt became more and more intense.
Otherwise, just go back and listen to the servant girl's gossip.
The little apprentice got down from the low stone and walked towards the back door of the side yard.
The footsteps suddenly became faster and more urgent.
The little apprentice's eyes widened and he also walked faster.
Just when he was thinking about whether to call for help or to look back at the other party, the other party suddenly rushed over and covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief. He couldn't even make a sound. Then, the other party's The dagger stabbed into his back.
After five or six consecutive stabs, it was confirmed that all the internal organs were stabbed, and then the opponent threw him aside and walked away.
The young apprentice's mouth was filled with blood from his internal organs. He opened his mouth in despair and looked at the leaving figure of the tall figure and the back door of Ning'an Building, which was very close at hand.
It's so close, he can go in within ten steps...
He doesn't want to die.
Shen's hand, which was skilled at applying the acupuncture, trembled slightly and almost missed the needle.
He raised his eyes and looked at the inside of the bed, and seemed to look across the inside of the bed.
Yiqiu didn't know why, so she opened her eyes and looked at this handsome young man with exquisite appearance.
Shen Xu raised the silver needle, moved her fingers slightly on the needle, silently pinched the hexagram, and called out: "Zou Zhan."
The middle-aged man at the door immediately opened the door and came in. Looking at the man's thin back, he respectfully shouted: "Young Master."
"Where's Cassia?"
"He went out."
"I always feel uneasy, please go out and take a look."
"yes."
Zou Zhan turned and left.
Shen Xu continued to apply acupuncture and said calmly: "Close the door."
Dingchun was the first to react and hurriedly went over to close the door. When he came back, he looked at Shen Xu who never looked back.
This style, this bearing, is really one of a kind...
But just as he closed the door, there was a huge noise outside.
Dingchun glanced at Shen Shu's back again, walked towards the door, and gently opened the door a crack.
Manager Chu's voice of exclamation came from outside, and the loud voice asked people to rush to prepare hot water and a room, and then report to the official.
Dingchun put his hand to cover his mouth and saw the man who had left not long ago running back quickly.
"Sir!" Zou Zhan opened the door, "Jue Ming is dead! He was assassinated in the back alley! He was stabbed in the back many times."
Dingchun and Hongwen looked at him in horror, then looked at the man beside the bed.
Yiqiu was so shocked that she wanted to sit up, but Shen Xu gently held her down.
