Su Ren was pacing alone in the house. After a battle, he became more convinced that the warm water would not last. Perhaps this was Zhang Hu's purpose, to leave them in the city and hand them over to the men in black. To be precise, they should
He's from Eumuya
Leng Jun suddenly broke in. Su Ren stopped and asked, "Are you ready?"
Lengjun nodded. Su Ren took a deep breath: "Okay, let Dong Qian protect the women, and leave everyone else to you, shall we start?"
"Huang Shisan stays!"
Su Ren shook his head: "We don't have many people, so we give them all to you. Are you afraid that I can't handle it? But remember, you are all my losers!"
"Huang Shisan stays!"
After saying these words, Leng Jun turned around and walked out the door. Huang Shisan was a little helpless, not knowing whether he should follow Leng Jun or stay.
Su Ren shook his head and smiled: "Go get some food and drinks, I'm hungry!"
This inn is right next to the county government. The location is not very good. People who can stay here usually have some relationship with people in the county government, and they are the kind of people who are relatively high-ranking. Because Su Ren, the merchants of Wenshui over the years
There are a lot of people. If you want to do business here, it will naturally be advantageous to be close to the county government office. Therefore, most of the people staying in this inn are businessmen.
There was a murder case, and the corpses were laid out in the yard. No one in the hotel dared to come out. In the dark inn, only Su Ren and Dong Qian's rooms had lights on. Dong Qian originally planned to come over and take a look, but behind her
As for Leng Yue and Twelve Niang, the danger has not been eliminated at this time. Su Ren can't sneak into the women's room in the middle of the night, even though the people next door don't know what's going on next to them.
Huang Shisan brought wine and food. He didn't know where he got them and they were already cold. Su Ren poured himself a glass and poured another glass for Huang Shisan: "Here, you can drink some too."
Huang Shisan nodded excitedly, grabbed it and drank it all.
Su Ren smiled: "Do you want to go with your second brother?"
Huang Shisan glanced at Su Ren and did not dare to answer. Su Ren continued: "I know you want to go. That guy Zhang Hu has completely betrayed us. Such a person cannot be left here. Maybe you will find it strange that I originally said
Hou Jian and Liu Wen can raise their hands, why can't they deal with Zhang Hu? Let me tell you now, Hou Jian and Liu Wen are our enemies, and they should deal with us no matter what. Although I don't believe in any ghosts, but
That must be Laojun Temple, it’s not a good place if it’s stained with blood.”
"Zhang Hu is different. He has two sides. He can betray us once and he can betray us twice. Today he is working for Wumuya or Huainan Kingdom, and tomorrow he will give us news. This kind of person has no sincerity, so he gambled this time.
Wrong, since you made a wrong bet, you have to risk your life to accompany you."
Huang Shisan listened to Su Ren's words with wide eyes. Rather than saying what Su Ren said to Huang Shisan, he said it to himself. There must be a reason for killing. From Zhang Hu's perspective, for
Whatever you do, no matter how you do it, is worth it and cannot be measured by right or wrong. Life is a gamble. If you win the bet, you will be popular and drink spicy food for a lifetime. If you lose the bet, it will not be surprising if you die early.
Ever since Su Ren came to Dahan, he has also been betting. The first time he bet on Chang Shi's greed, the second time he bet on Shamashayi's ambition, and today he bet on cold and cruel heart. Maybe he will bet more and more in the future.
It will get bigger and bigger, and as long as you live, this gamble will never end.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A rapid knock on the door sounded, and Huang Shisan immediately grabbed his big axe.
"Bang, bang, bang...!" After another knock, a voice from outside the door said: "Captain Su, Mr. Su, it's me. Open the door. I have something important to report!"
Huang Shisan was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Su Ren, who nodded: "Wait a moment, Mr. Zhang County came to visit in person at such a late hour, it seems there must be something big happening!"
Huang Shisan opened the door, the bright big ax glowed coldly under the light, and his two bull's eyes glared at Zhang Hu fiercely. As long as Su Ren gave the order, he would immediately cut it into two sections: "How dare you?
Come?"
Zhang Hu rushed into the room and knelt down in front of Su Ren: "Mr. Su, please forgive me. I am also forced to have no choice. The lives of my whole family are in their hands. If I don't do this...! The whole family's lives will be lost."
Got it!"
Su Ren did not move, still sitting in his original position. Zhang Hu got up from the ground and said, "Mr. Su, I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you. In fact, there are more of their people outside the city. I just want to stop you in the city."
I am protecting you. I, Zhang Hu, have received great kindness from my husband. How can I be that kind of ungrateful villain? Without my husband, I, Zhang Hu, would not be where I am today. All of this is given by my husband. Please believe me, sir, I am really blessed.
I’m helpless!”
"Those people are still at your home?" Su Ren asked.
Zhang Hu quickly shook his head: "No, these guys who came to assassinate Mr. were the same people who were originally in my house. They asked me to keep you in the city, and then they let my whole family go."
"Do you know who they are?"
"I don't know. At first I thought they were from Huainan. The accent doesn't sound like them, nor does it sound like people from Yelang or Qiang. I really don't know who they are." Zhang Hu sat down opposite Su Ren in a polite manner.
, his cautious hands were shaking.
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Let me tell you, they are the remnants of the former Qin Dynasty. Do you know now?"
"Ah!" Zhang Hu was shocked: "Sir, I really don't know, please forgive me."
Su Ren nodded: "I know this, tell me, why are you looking for me so late?"
Zhang Hu quickly moved his chair in front of Su Ren: "This is definitely a big deal! I heard some of these people's conversations. It seemed that something happened in Chang'an. The Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor were fighting. Their chance came.
, In addition, it was said that someone paid a high price for someone to assassinate Mr., and these people were sent here. I told Mr. Xi at the city gate just now, but they were too far away, so I finally got rid of them and hurried over, but I didn't expect that I was still late.
,Sir, are you okay?"
"It's okay, no problem!" Su Ren smiled at Zhang Hu, picked up the flask and poured Zhang Hu a glass of wine: "Oh, Mr. Zhang saved my life twice, the first time at Laojun Temple, and this time at Laojun Temple.
Here, I really don’t know what to say, let’s have a drink!”
Zhang Hu finally had a smile on his face. He turned around and glanced at Huang Shisan, who was standing behind him with a weapon in his hand, and quickly stood up: "Thank you, sir. You are a great benefactor to Wen Shui. I am a Wen Shui person.
I don’t dare to take credit in front of my husband.”
"Sit down!" Su Ren motioned Zhang Hu to sit down: "Now that the remnants of the former Qin have been eliminated, can we leave the city?"
"That's natural. Sir, you have something big to do. I'll go get someone to open the city gate right away!" Zhang Hu hurriedly stood up and left.
But Su Ren stopped him: "Don't be so anxious. Let's drink this glass of water and wine before we talk. The second brother and the others have gone out to do things and haven't come back yet. If you want to leave, you have to wait for them to come back."
Zhang Hu had no choice but to come back and sit down with a smile on his face: "A few businessmen came to Chengdu a few days ago. I heard that there was some chaos in Chengdu during this period. The prefect has transferred the county soldiers into the city. Sir, he is the captain of Shu County.
You should rush back to Chengdu as soon as possible to take charge. Without Mr.’s suppression, who knows what Shu County would be like.”
"You flatter me so well that you make me the same as the captain of Shu County. I am just the captain of Chengdu. Except for Chengdu's affairs, I have no right to interfere in other places."
"Whatever you say, sir is still our Wenshui man's gentleman!" Zhang Hu stood up and poured wine for Su Ren.
The two were chatting lively when Leng Jun came in from the door with a dark face. Seeing Zhang Hu sitting there, he couldn't help but be stunned. Su Ren winked quickly and pulled Leng Jun over with a smile. Zhang Hu didn't dare to look at Leng Jun.
, bowed his head and said hello to Leng Jun. Su Ren told Zhang Hu's reason for coming, Leng Jun didn't say anything, he just drank the glass of wine in front of him in one gulp.
The guards came back, and the courtyard of the inn became lively. After learning that the Wenshui County Magistrate was also here, the guests who were hiding in the room dared to come out. Su Ren asked Huang Shisan to lead Zhang Hu to see the murdered
The shopkeeper and the dead men in black. In front of everyone, Zhang Hu said that the matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter and the situation should be peaceful. At the same time, he assured that the market will be open as usual today, and there will be no reason for this.
When a person dies, the market and city gates are closed.
After appeasing the people, Zhang Hu returned to Su Ren's room and said, "Sir, if there is nothing else, I will go back immediately to conduct a serious investigation of the murder case. Seeing that it is almost dawn, sir, I will just clean up."
Out of town."
Su Ren waved his hand, and Zhang Hu retreated obediently.
Leng Jun said: "Why don't you kill this person again? It would be better to deal with such a repetitive villain as early as possible to avoid endless disasters."
"Don't be anxious. It's not the time to kill him yet. The water here is warm. I, a Chengdu captain, have no right to kill people here."
"you mean……?"
"Okay, go pack your things, there's still a big battle waiting outside the city!"
After dismissing Leng Jun, Su Ren turned back to pack his things. Huang Shisan was helping. After holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't hold it back: "Sir, do you believe what Zhang Hu said?"
"I'm sorry he doesn't dare to lie to me this time, otherwise his whole family will be dead!"
"If anything happens..."
Su Ren smiled: "Zhang Hu is gambling, and we are also gambling, but Zhang Hu's gambling skills are so bad, it's hard to say whether he can keep his capital even! You go and inform Zhang Hu and ask him to send us out of the city now!"
"Wait until dawn?" Huang Shisan was confused. Su Ren was very strange today, and his words were always inconsistent.
"We can't wait any longer. The period before dawn is when people are most sleepy. For people like us, we can only win by using surprise."
"Here! I'm going right now!"
Su Ren quickly stuffed his few things into the baggage. In fact, he didn't have anything to pack. All the clothes and clothes were with Dong Qian and Leng Yue. It didn't matter whether he took the baggage or not. He opened the door and escorted
They were arranging the carriages and horses in the yard. The bright torches were shining like daylight. Seeing Su Ren come out, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and saluted Su Ren.
Leng Jun settled Dong Qian, Leng Yue, and Twelve Niangs into the carriage, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" (To be continued)
