The earliest Zheng's pawnshop was just a small shop facing the street. After the efforts of three generations of the Zheng's family, the current Zheng's pawnshop not only bought the yard behind the shop, but also bought the shops on both sides of the pawnshop and the yard behind it, forming a pawnshop.
A series of courtyards.
Naturally, the original counter in the pawn shop was getting taller and taller.
People who came to pawn had to lift their items high above their heads to reach the counter.
Mo Shili stood in the shadow of the corner, looking towards the Zheng's pawn shop——
There is no way to be fooled or not.
Let’s turn dead money into living money.
The couplets on the wooden board and gold are extremely eye-catching.
Looking upward, you can see the four characters "Zheng's Pawn Shop".
The most eye-catching thing is that on the whitewashed walls on the left and right, there is a big word "Dang" written in black pen.
Each word is the size of a basket. When viewed in the dark, it looks like two man-eating jackals squatting there, staring at you.
It makes people's hearts tighten when they see it.
Inside the door is a different scene. The screen wall is towering, with a hundred blessings engraved on it. The hanging flower door is slightly open, and two huge lanterns illuminate the surroundings. Through the candlelight, you can vaguely see the winding corridor and a corner of lotus.
Leaf Pond.
Boss Lu walked out of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"Butler Lu!"
The two servants guarding the court outside the Chuihua Gate quickly said hello.
"Take good care of it."
Mr. Lu, who was called the butler, walked along the hanging flower door to the bell room with his hands behind his back, without even looking at the two servants guarding the courtyard.
No one among the servants of the Zheng family knows what Mr. Lu's real name is. They only know that Mr. Lu is an old man of the Zheng family and is still related to him. He defected to the Zheng family in his early years and immediately became the butler.
In addition to the inner courtyard, the shop and the servants' affairs, Butler Lu can handle everything with one hand.
Therefore, both servants and servants were licking Butler Lu.
When Mr. Lu walked away, one of the servants couldn't help but take a sip.
"Huh, bah."
"Isn't it just good luck and being related to the master? What are you proud of?"
The other one nodded in agreement.
"that is."
"Last time, Widow Liu's affairs were messed up. If our master hadn't been benevolent, he would have been kicked out of the house long ago."
"Widow Liu?"
The first servant was stunned, with curiosity on his face.
"you do not know?"
"Let me tell you, in order to support her three-year-old son, Widow Liu came to our shop to pawn things. Naturally, she had to keep the things. The master also took a fancy to the person, so he asked Boss Lu to bring him back. As a result...
…”
"what's the result?"
The servant, who was fascinated by what he heard, quickly urged.
But after urging for a long time, there was no reply.
Subconsciously he raised his head, only to find a masked man standing in front of him, and his companion who was on duty with him had long since disappeared.
Almost instinctively, the servant opened his mouth to call someone.
But just as the opponent opened his mouth, a dagger was thrust straight into his mouth. After stirring, it cut his cheek and penetrated his neck.
Immediately, the blood vessels in the throat were cut open.
After the corpse was also put into the [Qiankun Ring], Mo Shili shook the blood from his dagger, squinted his eyes, looked at the bell room, and followed quietly.
He knew about Widow Liu.
I heard from Lao Li at the tea stall that he contracted an illness and died six months ago, leaving behind a one or three-year-old child who fell off the bed and banged his head and died.
Although there are rumors that this matter is related to the Zheng family, no one has any evidence.
In the end, the surrounding neighbors gathered together, built a thin wooden coffin, and buried the mother and son outside the city.
In the past, it was still speculation with no evidence.
Now there is definite evidence.
Mo Shili, who was already murderous, was even more ruthless and wiped the first servant's neck directly.
Then, there is the second one.
But now, it is Boss Lu.
According to what Lao Li said, Boss Lu was famous for being very powerful. It was rumored that he had beaten seven or eight people to death.
He was also wanted by the government at that time, but later because of the war and chaos, nothing was done about it.
"You have to be cruel!"
Mo Shili thought silently.
Boss Lu, who was completely unaware, walked towards his room with his hands behind his back.
As he walked away, Butler Lu pondered.
"Compared with those guys, Lu San's work is quite efficient, but the price charged is too high!"
"Fifty taels of silver per child, how can it be so expensive? In a calamity year, those mud-legged people will have to be grateful if they have enough food to eat!"
"You have to lower the price to make the master happy."
Boss Lu could sense that what happened to Widow Liu had made his master a little dissatisfied with him.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was a signal that he couldn't stay and wait while we discussed things tonight.
He also didn't expect that Widow Liu had such a fierce temper that she would actually dare to hit the wall.
And that little kid, he didn't use any strength, but he just fell to death.
Damn it!
This caused a rift between him and his master!
Damn it!
Boss Lu shuddered when he thought about the fate of being insecure as a housekeeper and even being expelled from the house because of the rift with his master.
Although he killed two people for moneylending in his early years and lived in the world for a while, he was accustomed to living a comfortable life in the Zheng family and had already completely adapted to this kind of enjoyment. Without the protection of the Zheng family, he continued to live in the world.
Living in the open air would be even worse than killing him.
Therefore, this gap must be filled.
Of course Lu Laosan would be dissatisfied.
But Mr. Lu is not afraid. A street gangster, if not for the fact that he and his surname are Lu, and the other party licks his face and calls him uncle, how can he, Lu San, have such a beautiful thing?
"Press to one or two!"
"One or two is a lot!"
"Without my kind words, how could he, Lu San, earn this money?"
Boss Lu thought about it and opened the door to enter the house.
Then, I felt a huge force coming from my back.
boom!
With a muffled sound, Mr. Lu felt that all his bones and internal organs were about to break, and what followed immediately was——
Puff puff!
Mo Shili pushed Mr. Lu to the ground, covered his mouth tightly, and stabbed the dagger in his hand into Mr. Lu's ribs again and again.
That punch full of [Fighting Power] made Boss Lu lose all resistance. At this moment, he could only feel the pain of the dagger piercing his body again and again, and could only hear the sound of metal cutting his own flesh and blood.
This made Boss Lu even more frightened.
But he was unable to struggle.
He couldn't even lift his hand.
After a few breaths, Mr. Lu's eyes dimmed and his breath disappeared.
Mo Shili put away the body and frowned slightly.
sharp?
That's it?
Then he shook his head.
Mo Shili understood in his heart.
First, the rumors were biased and exaggerated.
Secondly, after he learned [Fist Power] and [Gecko Wall Movement], his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
The combination of the two resulted in Boss Lu being killed in one blow.
"Fortunately, we got rid of the night guard first, otherwise we would have been alerted!"
Mo Shili glanced at the clock-turning room where there was no movement.
Except for the night nurse, all the remaining nursing homes of the Zheng family are here.
Holding the dagger in his hand, Mo Shili quietly touched it in.
When Mo Shili came out again, there were five more corpses in the [Qiankun Ring].
Afterwards, Mo Shili checked the surroundings again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he passed through the hanging flower door and entered the inner courtyard.
Mo Shili saw the study room with the lights still on. He cautiously approached it. As soon as he reached the window, he heard bursts of conversation——
"The helmsman has been looking for his uncle and nephew for more than half a month, why haven't they come back yet?"
