Three corpses were piled on top of each other in confusion, shiny black blood seeping out from nowhere, the blood on the ground spreading little by little, and a pungent smell lingering in the wind...
Shopkeeper Qian was already dumbfounded. He had no idea what was going on. There was a person with half of his face exposed in front of him. Isn't that his accomplice who was secretly coordinating the plan? He had agreed to just give out a slogan and then he would descend from the sky and subdue Xia Shang.
of.
It was indeed falling from the sky, but why did it turn into several dead pigs?
Looking at the boy in front of him again, no wonder he was so calm before. It turned out that everything was in the palm of his hand! But he didn’t know the identity of the person who was secretly protecting him? These three people are quite powerful characters. How could they be killed silently?
Get rid of them all?
I couldn't think about this matter carefully, and the more I thought about it, the more frightening I felt about the boy in front of me. When I heard the calm and composed voice of "Let's talk about business," my old face turned pale with fright.
His identity as bank manager was not an act, and he was not good at martial arts. The three masters he regarded as gods descended to earth were all dead without even farting. He felt like he had been stripped naked and boiled in water.
If you want to die by yourself, it's just a matter of adding fuel to the fire.
"Give you a minute to disappear from my eyes. If you're late, I'll have to talk to you about business."
Xia Shang added calmly.
This simple sentence made Shopkeeper Qian feel like he had been granted amnesty. Cold sweat squeezed out of his pores, and he suddenly became wet. He no longer hesitated, turned around and started running wildly. Occasionally there were a few drops of urine falling on the ground as he passed.
After shopkeeper Qian left, a bald child jumped down from the jujube tree and landed next to Xia Shang lightly without making any sound, as if he had no weight.
This child looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He is fair and tender, with delicate features like Xia Shang. He is a boy more beautiful than a woman. His round bald head looks like a little monk. But he is not a monk. He is dressed in a bespoke suit.
He was wearing a tight-fitting black suit, two leather belts that passed through his armpits and waist and were wearing hooks, daggers, darts and other items. There was also a big sword on his back that was taller than his head.
If you look at this boy's appearance, you would think that he is a well-behaved little book boy, but this outfit gives people a completely different feeling. Especially the giant sword on his back, which has no scabbard, and the sword body is as black as ink, without a trace of metallic luster.
It is like a piece of black coal, exuding this gloomy and chilling aura. What's more, the blade is as wide as two palms side by side. The blade has never been sharpened. It is very strange. It must be a very heavy killing weapon.
.
It is even more strange to put such a monster on the back of a delicate child. The key is that the child's steps are light and you can't feel any difficulty on him.
Xia Shang was both unfamiliar and familiar with this boy.
What's strange is that I still don't know this guy's name. I only know that he has some kind of connection with Lu Xun.
What is familiar is that he has been silently protecting Xia Shang in the dark for half a month. They meet every few days, but rarely speak to each other.
How did you meet this guy?
This all goes back half a month ago.
When Xia Shang handed the waist card given by Lu Xun to Magistrate Chai, he thought he would be able to sit back and relax. However, he did not expect that the waist card would return to Xia Shang half a month ago.
This guy is the one who came with the tiger head badge!
When we first met Xia Shang, he was deceived by his appearance and thought he was just a silly kid. Later, he discovered that this guy's hatred was beyond ordinary people's understanding, and his martial arts might be better than Lu Xun's.
Of course, this judgment was made by Qin Huairou.
It was another rainy day. After learning about this man's terror, Xia Shang was very nervous, thinking that the other party knew that Lu Xun's death was related to him.
The child's first words at that time were: "The First Master gave this to you before he died?"
This was an unquestionable affirmation, indicating that this boy knew that Lu Xun was dead and that Lu Xun had given this object to Xia Shang.
Later I realized that the reason why the other party was so determined was all because of his waist card.
Because the position of the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the most dangerous of all official positions in the world, the purpose of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was to do some shameful things for the emperor when it was first established. Therefore, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always acted secretly and offended many people.
, are in extreme danger all the time.
The Hua Dynasty had only been established for a hundred years, but the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already changed more than a dozen times, and almost all of them died in accidents. The inheritance of the position of the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not go through the emperor, but was directly appointed by the head of the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In order to pass on the position of the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will create a succession list. Once he dies due to sudden factors, the throne will be passed on according to the succession list.
But if there is a clear candidate before death, then the inheritance will be based on the last wish. The waist card is the best proof, and the person who gets the waist card will be the first designated heir.
In order to prevent the enemy from killing the leader and stealing the waist card to replace the leader, the leader will leave nail marks on the waist card before passing the throne.
In the future, if someone holds a waistband and claims to be the leader, if the nail mark is on the left side of the waistband, it will prove to be true; if the nail mark is on the right side, it will be false.
And the nail mark left by Lu Xun on the waistband happens to be on the left side of the waistband!
It proves that Lu Xun appointed Xia Shang as his successor.
This little kid knew the reason and was secretly ordered by his superiors to come to find the leader of trust.
Xia Shang never thought about what he wanted to do first. From the moment he handed over his waist card, he didn't want to wade into these muddy waters. But now trouble is coming again. If he doesn't catch it, the other party will dig deeper. If it is investigated, it will be punished.
If you kill Lu Xun, won't the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate want to cause trouble for you?
After much thought, Xia Shang asked for his waist card.
After that, the little boy asked Xia Shang to return to the capital, but Xia Shang refused. Instead, he asked him to go back by himself. As a result, the little boy also refused. In the end, they both took a step back, and Xiao Wa was temporarily responsible for Xia Shang's safety, and sent a message to
Beijing, let’s see what changes happen next.
A few days ago, Xia Shang was thinking about how to get this little kid away, because he felt uncomfortable being stared at and was always afraid of being found out. This little kid was a potential threat.
But Xia Shang didn't expect that this kid would be useful today. If it weren't for him, he doesn't know if he would have suffered a loss.
The little baby fell to the ground. Without looking at Xia Shang, he walked to the three corpses and dropped a bag of corpse powder. Suddenly, there was a burning smell, and the corpses were being eroded rapidly.
In such a situation, even Xia Shang could not help but feel frightened and did not dare to look directly. But the little boy had no expression on his face and came back silently: "I killed three and ran away."
"One of them ran away? Do you know their identities?"
"I'm only responsible for your safety, I don't care about other things."
The little boy was very straightforward. After saying this, he disappeared from Xia Shang's sight. (To be continued)
