"The wind blows slowly, gently passing by someone."
The charming and gentle singing blew through Golden Street like the wind.
In front of the dance hall, luxurious vehicles were parked, and countless high-class people came and went.
Toot…
Suddenly, a military vehicle drove in arrogantly. Before it could turn off the engine, an officer on the passenger seat hurriedly jumped out and rushed straight into the theater.
"Step aside!"
"Who are you..."
When he saw the man in military uniform, holding his shoulders, he was frightened into silence.
The further inside you go, the clearer the singing becomes.
After a while, a scene appeared in my eyes, bright lights focused on the stage, a beautiful singer gently swayed her body, and her moving voice echoed in her ears.
The officer glanced at it, looked towards the second floor, and rushed up.
Compared with the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere below, the second floor has a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps, all patrolled by soldiers armed with rifles. It can be described as solemn and solemn.
Arriving at the only door on the second floor, the officer straightened his messy clothes and knocked on the door.
"Commander, Zhang Cai has something to ask for."
The joking and cheerful voices inside paused, and after a while, a rough and hoarse voice came out.
"Enter!"
As soon as the door opened, thick smoke blew in our face.
On a luxurious sofa, a man in his early forties had his legs crossed on the table. On both sides of him were women wearing heavy makeup, laughing and hugging him.
The man raised his eyes and looked directly at the officer: "What's wrong?"
The officer took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Something happened in Putuo Town. Master Zheng Qi failed to break through Lianji and is now a living dead."
"..."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his drunken face instantly showed a fierce look: "When did it happen?"
"last night."
The officer stared at the patterns on the carpet.
"Oh, last night."
The man took his hands off the woman's shoulders, laughed suddenly, and suddenly drew the gun from his waist.
boom!
"ah!"
The screams stopped abruptly.
The two women covered their mouths and did not dare to speak.
The bullet grazed the ear, and the hot air wave made the officer's body tremble slightly, but he still stood upright.
"It's been a whole day since what happened last night, and you're just telling me now!"
Sun Ying's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The officer immediately replied: "This matter was too sudden. The people below received the news and confirmed it again and again before reporting the matter."
"Tell me the whole story."
Sun Yinghan said with a face.
"According to intelligence, the entire Lingbao Temple was razed to the ground, and the vibrations that night echoed through Putuo Town."
"You mean... Zheng Qi's failure to break through is probably a cover-up or an excuse?"
"Yes, Commander. According to the reports from those who investigated the ruins of Lingbao Temple, it looked more like signs of a fight." The officer added: "And I heard that two of Lin Jiu's apprentices also appeared that night."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ying's face turned gloomy.
He invested a lot of money in Zheng Qi, but this time it was all in vain.
'Lin Jiu...'
In the dull silence.
"Early tomorrow morning, the troops will head to Putuo Town. If there is another mistake, the next bullet will hit your head!"
Sun Ying's chest rose and fell slightly, obviously still angry. He grabbed the hair of the woman next to him and pressed it down: "Bring down the fire for me!"
"Your Majesty, please go and do it immediately."
The officer saluted and turned around. Without a second glance, he closed the door and left.
boom.
'A life has been saved!'
The officer let out a breath of exhaustion and wiped his right hand on his cheek, only to see that it was covered with bright red blood stains and burning pain. Then, he stared down at the stage below.
Just as the singer finished singing, she left gracefully.
The officer's eyes flashed, and he ordered the soldiers next to him, saying coldly: "Take her back for interrogation."
"Understood, sir."
The soldier understood and watched the officer leave.
…
…
afternoon.
The alley at the back door of Chen Mansion.
A man wearing a peaked cap looked around, lowered his head and knocked on the door.
"Zhizhi..."
Not far away, the frantic courtship calls of male cicadas came from the shade of the trees.
The man subconsciously looked up and saw that the scorching sun was still dazzling through the cracks in the leaves.
at this time
The door opened quietly, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
"I've met Housekeeper Ma." The man smiled, the centipede-like scar on his face shook slightly, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "You have some good work to introduce to me this time."
"Of course I have a good job for you, otherwise why would I ask you to come to my house?"
Butler Ma said with a smile on his face but not on his face: "Let's talk about it after we come in."
"well."
The half-open door closed again, and the sunlight along the road squeezed out.
Along the way, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, and bright red 囍 characters were posted everywhere, which was quite festive.
'My mother, this mansion is too big.'
The man looked around curiously, and could vaguely hear the lively sounds in the front yard. However, it was very quiet here, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The young master of the Chen family really gave birth to a good child."
Immediately.
He asked aloud: "Steward Ma, where are we going?"
"Take you to meet someone."
Butler Ma walked in front and said without looking back.
"To see people."
The man rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something.
Could it be Master Chen?
Butler Ma glanced back from the corner of his eye, a sneer flashing across his lips.
The Chen family's business is very extensive, so naturally they have Ma Zai to help them solve all kinds of troubles. The man behind him committed a murder, but with the blessing of the Chen family, his life is still smooth.
Not much longer.
The two came to a remote courtyard, and there were two strong men guarding the house. When they saw Butler Ma bringing someone in, they opened the iron chain on the door.
Roar!
There was a faint, crazy roar coming from the house.
"Go in, he's waiting for you inside."
"..."
At this time, the man finally realized something was wrong, quietly stepped back, and said with a forced smile: "Steward Ma, who are you going to take me to see..."
Pfft.
A sharp dagger penetrated the man's neck, and red blood dripped down the blade.
Hmm~
"Just go in obediently. You have to force me to do it."
Butler Ma's face was calm and indifferent, but he actually had excellent skills. He picked up the man's collar, stepped to the front of the house, opened the door and threw him in.
boom!
The door slammed shut, followed by the sound of the chains being re-fastened.
"Roar!"
"Hoo..."
The man lay on the ground with his eyes wide open and felt difficulty breathing. Fortunately, the dagger was a penetrating wound and could not kill him in a short time. He staggered to his feet and turned to knock on the door.
Bang bang bang...
'Damn it, they actually built an iron gate inside!'
The man wished he could bear the flesh and blood of the housekeeper, so he turned around with difficulty and managed to see clearly what was inside the house through the dim skylight. His pupils shrank to small points in an instant.
Thick blood stains covered every corner, and the ground was littered with mutilated bones of chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs.
That is at this time.
The crazy roar became more and more crazy.
"Wow..."
The chains shook crazily, and the outline of a figure loomed in the darkness.
The man's breathing became increasingly difficult.
Suddenly, a face covered in blood rushed forward and opened its bloody mouth.
"ah!!!"
…………
Hearing the screams in the house, Housekeeper Ma felt unmoved. He took out a white silk cloth and wiped off the scattered blood spots on his hands, then turned and walked into the pavilion next door.
Mr. Chen was sitting inside, drinking tea alone.
"master."
Butler Ma lowered his head and came to him.
"Um."
Mr. Chen looked numb and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Ma."
"My life has long been my master's."
Butler Ma shook his head slightly, and then his tone was heavy:
"Master, now the young master is no longer satisfied with eating animals such as chickens, ducks and sheep. Even if we are looking for ruffians who do all kinds of evil, there is no way to go on like this!"
