Chapter two hundred and eighty-four: but ask for nothing
The information Tang He currently has was obtained from the black market. This is a reward, and the price is not high. There is nothing noteworthy about it. In theory, he would not take a second look at a job of this price. But this is
This time it was different, this time the target attracted his attention - it was a child, a girl.
It can't be said that. At this age, he should be considered an adult, but in his eyes, anyone younger than him is considered a child. And even if some people are older than him, their minds are the same as those of children, and they are so naive that they are stupid. A list like this is still
There are a lot of them, printed in batches, and only the seal on the left door above was stamped by their hands. Yes, the person offering the reward is a bit interesting. Most of the time, they solve the problem internally, and the money does not go to outsiders. It is an extremely difficult and expensive target.
, they should not
It can spread a little bit of news. Therefore, the bounties they occasionally circulate in the market are usually small people who place orders for them, but they are too lazy to waste manpower and material resources. However, the original price is probably quite high, so they do not refuse, just peel off
After adding a layer of oil and water, it is only released publicly with the permission of the owner. Sometimes, in order to demonstrate against the target, the owner will not hesitate to spend a lot of money to advertise it widely. After all, the reputation of Zuojinmen alone is already very valuable.
However, there is also a saying that if you accept too many scattered orders like this, the person holding the stamped paper to receive the reward will become a familiar face, which will also attract their attention and recruit you to join the team. I heard that there used to be a person who accepted individual orders.
A master who was attracted by the people from the Zuojin sect, but refused to join. As time went by, he was actually attracted by those people
It was done. So not everyone dares to take this order. If it is accepted, it is only occasionally. If there are many, the name will be changed. This is one of the reasons why Tang He does not do it, not to mention that the money is second-hand. Once the name is registered, it will be included in the tracking
In addition, he has also intercepted some important targets that have not been made public. Of course, he has already secretly made enemies.
"The forces behind Zuo Zhenmen are not ordinary people."
Lord Xueyue once said this, but Tang He could not fully understand the meaning of the words. What is considered an ordinary person and what is not? There are too many ways to define the two, so he did not think about it any more.
"When was this organization established?"
"Forget, two or three hundred years, right? Their style was more vicious before."
"So long?"
"Yes. In the past, they were not even allowed to make multiple bets on one order. If it was discovered that the owner did not trust them, they would resort to stealing from the owner's house. It wasn't until someone changed behind the scenes that their style changed.
He has become a little more restrained, but he is still as disciplined as ever.”
Tang He didn't know that this kind of thing had happened before. Thinking about it, the people behind the scenes have been changed for a long time. After all, they have been like this since he heard about the existence of this kind of organization, and no one has mentioned it before. I'm afraid it's better than imagined.
The time will be longer.
Let's talk about the list in hand... it's very interesting. Because he knows the target. Generally, the people who can be circulated are some famous people. Not everyone knows it, at least they have heard the name. There are also personal enemies, few.
Most of them are young and middle-aged people who know some martial arts, so the people who place orders are helpless.
. Targets like that are mostly weak women, at least not knowledgeable in martial arts. They are basically love killings. They can just find someone and kill them. It is not worth spending a lot of money to find Zuo Zhenmen. Unless they are the kind of oiran, the top card, who is caught and compensated.
It's amazing...but how many people in the world show mercy to the land of fireworks?
So this is a woman, a child, with no reputation... This is a bit of a problem, a big problem.
So Tang Heduo spent some time to investigate. It was not difficult to get to the bottom of it. It didn't take long for him to find out that she was the princess of Dailuan City. Her real name was not that, not even Dai. In fact, she had no name.
From the palace to the people in the city, they only call her Princess Princess and get a little closer to her.
Hers, who had taken care of her for a long time, also called her "Eldest Miss". Although everything seemed to be going according to plan, her parents also knew that the house was in deep water and did not dare to give her a name for fear of bringing her trouble in the future. She must have started from
From the time they were pregnant, they had anticipated their daughter's fate like duckweed.
But she had a master who gave her a surname when she was born, which has the same pronunciation as Chengchi.
Tang He had a feeling that Zuo Jinmen was going to kill her, maybe not in a day or two. The closer she got to home, the more imminent the matter became. And he also knew that they circulated this list on the black market without specifying the target.
Her identity and bounty are pitifully small, so she seems to be hiding something from others. Put aside that she is actually very capable, and the people around her are not martial arts masters, but they are also accomplished in martial arts.
Yes, the description did say that there was "more than one person" around her. According to him, the killers she could attract would basically be sent one after another, not only to fetch water from bamboo baskets, but also to scare snakes. He couldn't understand the purpose of Zuo Zhenmen.
, is it possible that they are letting things go on purpose? Some of it is unjustifiable. However, the internal struggles in such a large organization may also be fierce. It is not impossible to manipulate such things to suppress each other.
He may not accept this order. Maybe it's on his way, but if the reward is better, he might not refuse it.
Killers also need to eat.
He put away the brittle and thin paper. The candle on the table was trembling and almost burned out. The window was not closed properly, and the autumn wind that leaked in kept destroying the last candle. He stood up, closed the window, and looked
I glanced at the girl on the couch next door. Jiang Doudou is usually a very well-behaved child, but she kicks the quilt every night. She has been staying in this family for a long time, and the people who temporarily adopted her are an elderly couple.
. He initially heard that they were infertile, but they had a good relationship. When someone heard about the homeless children after the war, he told them that they would take them back to raise them. As a result, the sons later went to the army and the daughters went to the city.
, no one goes back to the mountains anymore. The mountain has no name, and there are no mountain villages, and they will be evacuated one after another. The old couple refused to leave, worried that they would not be able to find their home if their children came back.
It was difficult to find those people, but he also heard from people who moved to the town that they were all dead, otherwise he would not have written a letter to his family. A few years ago, he could still receive news from one person now.
None. They have raised at least a dozen children, so it’s impossible for them to really die, right? No one would ask where he fostered Jiang Doudou. He just felt that the old man could not bear to be lonely, and he picked up things that others didn’t want.
stupid
A girl. He has come back twice, and this is the third time. That is to see if she is alive. It doesn’t matter if she is tall, short, fat or thin. He just wants to give her money. He cannot let her see him awake, otherwise it will be the same as before.
She was crying and fussing over his clothes and wouldn't let him go, which was very annoying. I don't know why the smelly girl was so strong, and her sleeves were torn. Every time, she would sneak away while she was sleeping, making her look like a thief.
of.
He planned to go to a far away place, and this time he left a lot of money. The reason he gave the old couple was very casual, but the old man knew to some extent that the identity of such a generous person was not simple, and he would not leave a child easily. The old man knew.
He doesn't need so much
Even if he had money, he had no place to spend it. During the day, the old man quietly told him that he dug a hole in the third to sixth brick from the left of the flower bed in the backyard and hid all the money he gave him in it to prepare it for the baby.
He felt that he should smile, but he couldn't.
For "incidental" reasons, he inquired about the whereabouts of some children. The old couple did not name those children because they said that those children did not belong to them. Perhaps it was a prophecy, but they really had no idea.
I've been back. It's too hard to find those names. They're not good at attracting wealth.
Ya Dan'er, San Hua'er, Mao Qiu... both of them are the names of cats and dogs. He once found out about a man named "Steamed Bun", who also looked as round as a steamed bun. But that was not the case when he was a child.
He went down the river and fished him out of the bamboo basket in the river. When he was found, he had a white spot on the side of his head.
The steamed buns were just eaten by the birds, and there were still bird droppings stuck to the swaddling clothes. It was white flour. Maybe his family was very rich, so he was an illegitimate child from some family; or maybe he was from a poor family, and he was really raised.
I couldn't afford it, so I gave him the only steamed bun I got in exchange. He was very thin when he left home, and later he went to
He worked as a thug in a notorious mansion. Not to mention that the food was good, but he said in his letter at home that he had put on weight. Later in the fight, a poor scholar opened the buns. It is not clear whether the scholar was caught, but the mansion would not do it anyway.
After hearing this, Tang He did not tell the couple.
Later, I accidentally learned the news that there was a beautiful woman in the land of fireworks. But she had a large red birthmark on one eye, black hair, and a yellow face. So Tang He spent a long time looking for her.
She winked at him and waved her fragrant handkerchief to welcome him in. The first thing he said when he entered was to ask her if she was a child.
Called Sanhua'er. The girl was stunned for a moment, but he didn't escape his eyes. The girl refused to admit it at first, because she lied that she was from a good background and was a lady, but she fell to this. Tang He pulled out the knife and asked her if it was true.
She cried. Although she still didn't admit it, she could probably tell from the sobbing words that she felt sorry for the parents who raised her. So.
After grinding until dawn, she finally took off a valuable hairpin from her head, and dug out a straw-like stick from the depths of the jewelry cabinet, which was probably also a hairpin. She asked him to take care of the money she owed her, and what she owed her.
Take all their belongings back. According to the past, Tang He would probably say "repay it myself", but what if she really returns to Jiang Doudou's identity?
?So he took these things away and gave them to the old couple along with the next silver. He only said that Sanhuaer earned it and paid it back, and didn't say much else. The old couple asked a few questions, but it was nothing.
I asked. Because this hairpin looks really valuable. Maybe my daughter will have a good life and marry into a rich family. Her husband's family will have strict rules and stay away from the past life.
Oh, he also saw a woman, or a banshee. She was also very beautiful, a truly breathtaking beauty. But it was abnormal. At first glance, she looked like a cannibal wrapped in a demonic aura. When she found him, she was surprised.
She wasn't here to stir up trouble, but to find Lord Xuanyue. No wonder she had such a curse on her body. But Tang He didn't know, really didn't know, so she looked heartbroken.
Then, another Six Paths Impermanence appeared, whom Tang He had never seen before. It was a person wearing a luxurious witch costume, holding a Kagura bell, talking to the banshee. He left, not wanting to waste time.
.
He wanted to go further, to the East, to a place he had already visited.
After all, he came to this world alone, and the road in this world can only be walked by one person. He did not want to leave any great achievements in his life and be remembered by future generations for generations to come. He was not prepared to be a heinous person with a bad reputation all over the world. He did what he wanted.
Whatever you do, be the person you want to be. The long river of history will not remember the name of a killer, and it will not be his turn to sit in the position for future generations to comment on. Although
Although he hasn't reached that step yet, he thought that if Tang Yu comes back, he probably won't quit. It's not that he is going from frugality to luxury, but it will make money faster this way, and his sister will not do it again.
He also believes that he is more capable than before and will be able to protect her and prevent tragedies from happening again. Even if the blood of many people is stained on his hands, he will not hesitate.
As long as you are worthy of yourself in this life, it is enough.
