Volume 1 Huangquan December 101st Chapter: Ruohe for the Snake
The flower alley in Wule City has always been very lively, and little girls especially like it here. It was originally a flower market, but later it expanded a lot and everything is sold. Every ten steps, there must be a jewelry store
, there is an aromatherapy shop twenty steps away. There are also many selling rouge and gouache. Many fabric shops also have good materials shipped from other places. Some young men like to run here just to buy things to please women. They even come down to reward maids.
, when you go to your house to give gifts, you can choose suitable items from here.
But just two days ago, someone who shouldn't be here came here.
He was dressed in black clothes and carried a horizontal knife. The murderous aura around him was incompatible with the warm and fragrant streets. Everyone walked away from him, not daring to take another look.
He walked briskly and walked all the way to a remote shop deep in the alley. This shop also sold makeup, but when he got here, there were almost no customers. When he walked into the shop, the fragrant aroma made him frown.
If someone killed someone here, he doubted that he could smell the blood.
"Brother, what are you buying?" The very young girl stood in front of the counter with her face raised and said to him in a childish voice, "There are discounts for regular customers."
"Don't talk nonsense." He threw a belt, "The man has been killed, show it to the employer."
The strap was so light that it was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, something invisible stuck to it and hooked it into the girl's hand. The girl's dark eyes widened and she looked at it carefully.
He reached the tip of his nose and took a sniff. It was a moon-white strip, stained mottled by blood, with faint snowflake-like dark lines visible on it.
She smiled sweetly, and at an age where she seemed to be afraid of blood, she seemed sophisticated and calm.
"Well...it's okay to pay you the money in advance now. Do you want it?"
"Aren't you afraid that if Zuo Jinmen didn't kill him, your employer won't admit it?"
"No, I have a friend who is an old acquaintance of him."
Behind her, slender unknown limbs stretched out, dancing in the shadows. On the left, she was wiping a few teacups, and on the right, she was pounding something red, which should be flower petals.
"Are there any other local orders? Anyone's will be fine."
"Not yet." She held up her face again, "Even if there is, there will be no reward."
Tang He would never accept an order without a reward. But he still asked one more question, was it Liu Dao Wuchang's responsibility?
"Yeah, you guessed it right. There is only one half-demon still running for his life in this area."
"Half-demon?"
"The one who killed everyone in the Taki family." She dyed her nails with the flower juice on the counter. The smell of spices made the other party flinch. "It was actually an adopted son of the Taki family. Because their eldest daughter had a child with a monster, in order to keep
Famous, he treated him as an adopted child and raised him well. His family pretended to be good to him and asked him to respect them and love them. Until there was a conflict in the family, and all the bad things were brought out, and the secret was exposed, and he became angry.
Then he killed them all."
"How do they know they are the children of monsters?"
"Because, she laid an egg back then. Hahahaha..."
She let out a clear laugh, and the sharp black hook behind her placed the two tea cups up. Inside were the crushed unknown petals. She poured the water in, and the blood-like liquid rose higher and higher.
"boring."
"Isn't it funny?"
"Since your master knows everything, why let other impermanent ghosts investigate."
"It's no good? You don't do business that makes no money, right?"
Tang He frowned and chuckled, turning to leave.
"Don't leave, let's have a cup of tea first?"
He didn't answer and left the shop. The girl stirred a tea cup with a thin stick, but the other cup was lifted up by a hand stretched out from the shadow. The hand was very pale, and there were fingers on the forearm.
They are all covered with smooth soft armor.
He picked up the belt on the table with his other hand, glanced at his casual clothes and put them on. The clothes he wore were all silk and satin, which looked expensive. There were faint patterns of snake scales on the light yellow coat. He
His head is black, and the bangs on his right eye are slanted down, and he is covered with a green eyepatch - even the eyepatch is sewn with two interlaced thin white snakes. The left eye is the same as the head, and there are two stars under it.
mole.
"That boy from the Xue Yan Sect, if there is no one to help him, he will never be able to achieve success. He couldn't sit still when he saw the incantation in Cheng You's letter. If he hadn't written his impatience on his face,
Yan Muxue can’t see any clues either.”
"You can't lose your life." Miss Zhu Tong shrugged, "Okay, go and show it to him."
"It's still a long way from the nearest spiritual vein, so it won't be long."
"Tell me, what should I do if he doesn't admit it? I heard that Miss Yan has a letter with her. Do you want to tell him?"
"Not for the time being. We have to pretend that it is the information that Mi Yingge has been searching for for a long time, so that he can feel grateful. Isn't that letter a blank piece of paper? It won't be too late to wait until they find out something. He won't deny it.
As long as she stops her to see that girl, he will pay no matter who it is. Anyway, it is to grab the order, and if Zuo Zhenmen wants to cause trouble, he will not be able to find it."
"Young Master Tang is not afraid."
"Really, why are you talking to him so much?"
"Hey, guess how long it will take and how much money will anyone be willing to pay to find out about him?"
Two empty teacups were placed on the table, still retaining a fragrant aroma.
Two days later, the people Zhu Tong mentioned appeared.
It was a leisurely afternoon. Everyone was walking leisurely in the alley, looking here and there. Only a few people were rushing through the crowd. The girl at the head was walking.
She was not very stable, but her speed was very fast. She didn't even apologize if she bumped into someone, but just kept moving forward. The mountains and seas behind her apologized to passers-by, and they chased her all the way to the deepest part of the flower alley.
Qinggui said that there was a girl in Huaxiang, and she knew all the information in the world, but she only came here once in a while. In recent days, she seemed to have stayed in that rouge shop for a while, and maybe she didn't leave.
Mu Wan must find her and know who killed Yan Muxue.
When she first broke into the store, Zhu Tong was startled. She only saw a crazy man with a white face and straight eyes, staring at her blankly. Before she spoke, the man came in twos and threes.
He ran forward and said loudly as if questioning:
"You...is it you? You know..."
Her companions finally caught up and ran into the store to stop her and apologize to Zhu Tong who was stunned there.
"Sorry girl, she, she has no energy, we..."
"Zhu Tong?" Dai Luan blurted out.
Everyone else looked at her and then at Zhu Tong. Dai Luan was convinced that she had made the mistake.
"Really! She even wore the same clothes as that day! And this rose-red belt, I remember it all!"
In an instant, Shan Hai and Wu Qi's faces fell.
"...It turned out to be Satsuki-kun's subordinates. We still remember the account of your Scorpion sister."
"Besides, there is no trace of Wan Guizhi at all."
"Oops -" Zhu Tong raised his hands and backed away, "This is none of my business!"
Mu Wan couldn't care about those old accounts, she just wanted to know the question she wanted to know most.
"I know you should know everything. Let me get straight to the point - my senior sister was killed by someone. Let me ask you, is the person who killed her named Tang He? Where is he?!"
Zhu Tong curled her lips and slowly sat back on the chair. She crossed her arms and made a round circle with her upper hand, which meant asking for copper coins.
"After all, you are a businessman, why can't you talk to me about the price first? If it weren't for Miss Aluan's sake, I would have kicked you out a long time ago."
"Girl, they don't have much money these days," Duan Yuesheng said sincerely, "Please be patient with your price..."
"No, we don't want to be vague about Liangqiu. You can just make an offer." Shi Wuqi said coldly, "And we don't want to owe Miying Pavilion any favors. Even if we don't have enough money, is there anything we can do to help you?
Anything else you need, just ask."
"Hey, Mr. Shi, it is very dangerous to speak too absolutely."
Seeing Zhu Tong's tone, he didn't intend to buy it. Lin Shanhai stood aside, feeling that nothing he said was appropriate. After a moment of silence, Duan Yuesheng broke the awkward situation.
"Let's do this. Give me a share of your price, and I will also settle the score with that boy named Tang. After all, the newly bought knife was broken by him, don't you think so?"
After saying that, he scratched his head again and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Miss Liangqiu, I didn't know your last name before. It has two characters..."
Mu Wan no longer cares about this, she just wants to know who the murderer is. But she is still awake and knows that the letter in her hand must not be revealed to the people in the Death Shadow Pavilion.
"Besides him, I want to ask you about someone else." Mu Wan put her hands on the table and stared into her big eyes, "I also want to know who is the person who wants to kill my senior sister."
Zhu Tong picked up the tea cup unhurriedly.
"Do you have to know? You will be sad."
"What do you mean?" Mu Wan's lips trembled, "Of course I want to know."
Shi Wuqi also crossed his arms, raised his face slightly, and looked at this unpleasant girl with contempt.
"You make an offer."
"I want to...well, let me think about it."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Tong fell into hard thinking, and she didn't know if she was really thinking about it. After a while, she opened her eyes, held her face with her hands again, and said the revenge she wanted.
"I want five taels of half-demon blood."
As soon as these words came out, several people didn't know what to say. It didn't matter whether they agreed or not. I heard Ji Yuejun and Ha Yuejun say a while ago that they were tracking down someone who killed everyone in the Taki family.
Half-demon, now that the people of Death Shadow Pavilion are mentioning this, it is hard not to make people suspect that it is a deliberate request.
"Miss Zhu Tong..." Shanhai said slowly, "You are making things difficult for us."
"In any case," she opened her eyes wide, "if you don't do it, there won't be many people who are willing to use money to do things."
