Chapter 36 fourth quarter

Time: Shenshizheng, the first engraving (according to today's time, it should be 4:15 p.m.). Location: A run-down tavern. The tavern was about to close, and the boy behind the counter was sleepy, bumping his head against the counter from time to time, making a muffled buzzing sound, but it didn't hurt to wake him up.In the darkness deep in the tavern, sat a customer, the only one in the tavern.In front of him was only a jug of sake, a plate of bad chicken feet, and a plate of white-cut beef.The guest was in his sixties, with a round face and a happy face, but his eyes were slightly darkened. He either lacked sleep or was worried about something important.The young man had long wanted to kick him out of the shop so that he could close the door and go home to sleep. However, seeing his luxurious clothes and sharp eyes, he knew that this customer must have a lot of background. You can't afford to offend a foot-long sword, you can only let it go.

The door curtain made of fake pearls made a crisp sound, and a thin and capable man walked in. It was Mr. Jin.He didn't look sideways, and stared straight at the guests sitting in the corner as soon as he came in.The shop clerk was awakened by the sound of the door curtain, stood up abruptly, rushed to meet him, rubbed his eyes that were not fully opened, smiled all over his face, nodded and bowed and said: "This guest officer, the shop is closed, we need to take care of you." For the business of the small shop, please hurry up tomorrow.” Mr. Jin’s complexion sank, and he said, “I’m not here to drink and eat.” The shop waiter asked, “You don’t drink, and you don’t eat, what are you doing here?”

Mr. Jin said every word: "Come and kill someone." But he said this to the guests sitting in the corner.The shop waiter looked around, only the customer in the corner and himself, and saw Mr. Jin's face was frosty, with his hands on the hilt of his sword, his veins exposed, so he concluded that he was definitely not joking.The waiter tremblingly said: "There are only two people here, do you want to kill him or me?" Mr. Jin glanced at him coldly, the hair on the waiter's back stood on end, he hurriedly hid behind the cabinet, not daring to come out. Mr. Jin walked to the corner unhurriedly, stood in front of the guest's table, and said, "Boss Yuan, are you safe?"

The guest looked up at Mr. Jin, then lowered his head again, and said, "Your Excellency may have admitted the wrong person." Mr. Jin said: "People in the Jianghu say that a knife can solve a thousand worries. Yuan Xiyou Yuan, the head of the Yangzhou Baisheng Escort Bureau, how can I admit my mistake?" The guest said: "I have lived in the capital since I was a child. I have never been to Yangzhou, and I have never heard of Baisheng Escort. If you want to have a few drinks with each other, I welcome you. If you are not interested in drinking, please leave here. Don't get in the way." The old man drinks alone."

Mr. Jin said: "Since you have lived in the capital since you were young, let's listen to some Hangzhou dialect." The guest hesitated for a moment, then said impatiently: "You're just a basket, let me die, so as not to disturb my wine contract." Mr. Jin laughed loudly, and said: "Boss Yuan, you can speak Hangzhou dialect very badly. You really don't know me? I do know you." The guest looked up at Mr. Jin again.Mr. Jin took out two pieces of fake beards and stuck them on his lips, and then glued a beard on his cheeks. His whole person immediately looked rougher and fiercer. The pupils in the eyes of the guest shrank, and he finally recognized who Mr. Jin was. He asked, "It's you? Why are you here?" His voice was trembling, obviously he was afraid of Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin asked back: "Boss Yuan, why did you come to the capital? Why don't you just stay in the mansion in Yangzhou and enjoy the happiness? It made it hard for me to find it." Yuan Xiyou said: "You can come to this capital, but the old man can't?" Mr. Jin suddenly raised his voice, and said sharply: "Yuan Xiyou, you are still pretending to be confused. The Baisheng Escort Agency claims that the darts will be successful. Let me ask you, where did the darts I asked you to bet on?" Yuan Xiyou shook his body, Unreasonably said: "I was robbed." Mr. Jin said: "It's easy for you to say that you were robbed. Even if you were robbed, the responsibility lies with your bodyguard bureau. Chief bodyguard Yuan is also well-known in the world, You should give me an explanation." Yuan Xiyou took a sip of wine, and said: "Our Escort Bureau took five lives for this escort, and my only son Yuan Wubing was among them. Sooner or later, the business of the Baisheng Escort Bureau He has to take over everything, but he died young, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. Poor my son, there is no bones left, and the old man has not even seen him for the last time. If the old man can find out the whereabouts of the robber , this old man will definitely tear his corpse into ten thousand pieces." As he spoke, his heart was filled with grief, and he burst into tears.

However, Mr. Jin turned a blind eye to his grief, and said coldly: "Escorts are a dangerous business, and you should have thought that such a day would come. Why do you have to be hypocritical? Masculinity. I don't care how many people died in your Escort, I just want to get back what belongs to me." Yuan Xiyou slowly wiped away his tears, the sadness can only belong to himself.He said: "Mr. Jin, please give me a few days. This time, the old man came to Hangzhou to recover the lost darts, so as to wash away the shame suffered by Baisheng Escort." Mr. Jin sneered and said, "I don't know if Chief Escort Yuan has any clues?"

Yuan Xiyou shook his head, and said, "I have entrusted many friends from all over the world to work together to find the lost dart. I believe that there should be news in a few days." Mr. Jin said coldly: "So, there is no clue at all?" Yuan Xiyou nodded, and reluctantly admitted: "You can also say that." Mr. Jin said: "It's a very prosperous Baisheng Escort Agency. What does the head of Escort Yuan say to close the door? Don't you know that it is easy to close the door and difficult to open the door. Who in the world will dare to ask the Baisheng Escort Agency to guard the escort?"

Yuan Xiyou said: "This is an internal matter of our Escort Bureau, and Mr. Laojin will not ask about it." Mr. Jin was suddenly furious, and he slapped the table with his iron palm.Although he didn't concentrate his strength in his palm, the table almost collapsed because of him. Two plates of side dishes flew into the air, and when they fell, they knocked over the table, creating a mess.Mr. Jin shouted angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense. You clearly want to close the door to escape responsibility. In my opinion, your Baisheng Escort Agency stole your own bodyguards, embezzled my bodyguards, and even sacrificed the lives of four innocent bodyguards to fake the situation of robbing the bodyguards." .Your precious son Yuan Wubing didn't die at all, but hid. You know that this dart trip is not easy. I want to inquire about the news and find out the wind. You must think that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. No one would think that you will hide in the capital. But you were found by me. I ask you, you must be truthful Answer, where is your precious son hiding now?"

Tears welled up in Yuan Xiyou's swollen and swollen eye sockets. When he mentioned his son, he couldn't stop the grief in his heart. He choked up and said: "Mr. Jin, please forgive others, my son is not sick His soul has returned to the west, can Mr. Jin be merciful, don't disturb his spirit in heaven, let him rest in peace." Mr. Jin said: "As long as you can return the goods to me, you can do whatever you want." Yuan Xiyou looked depressed, and said: "I really don't want to go out, Mr. Jin has ten days' grace, and I will promise to return it to Zhao."

Mr. Jin said: "Let you go away easily today, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find you again." Yuan Xiyou changed his face and said: "This old man has been in the world for decades, and he has always cherished his reputation. It is well known that he promises a thousand gold. Could it be that Mr. Jin can't trust this old man?" Mr. Jin said bluntly, "Yes, I can't trust you." Seeing that his negotiating skills were not working, Yuan Xiyou could only sigh and said, "What do you want?" Mr. Jin said: "Since you have admitted that you cannot return the things to me, then you must pay the price." Yuan Xiyou said: "Mr. Jin wants as much silver taels as compensation, just ask, I will definitely give you the amount." Mr. Jin's face became more and more serious, and he said in a dark voice: "Do you think I still care about money?" "Then what do you want? As long as the old man can do it, he will never refuse." "I want your life." Yuan Xiyou said almost pleadingly: "Mr. Jin, according to the rules of the Escort Bureau, once a dart is lost, the Escort Bureau should compensate the original value of the dart. I am willing to make an exception and make twice the compensation. Please, Mr. Jin, don't embarrass the old man again." Mr. Jin said: "Apart from you and your son Yuan Wubing, is there a third person who knows about the escort?" Yuan Xiyou said: "The old man has always kept his mouth shut. No third person will know what the darts are betting on this trip." Mr. Jin smiled slightly, twitching the corner of his mouth a little, and said: "Very good, very good! Since you can still keep a secret, I won't make things difficult for you anymore." Yuan Xiyou was overjoyed, thinking that his old life could finally be saved, Although paying hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to compensate Mr. Jin is a bit painful, but if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you can save your life, it is more important than anything else.Yuan Xiyou said: "Thank you, Mr. Jin." Mr. Jin said: "You don't need to thank me. I mean I don't want to embarrass you. I mean, I can give you a whole corpse. You can kill yourself with a knife." Yuan Xiyou was furious and said: "It's really deceiving, isn't it just that a dart trip was robbed, and the life of the old man's only son was also put on the dart trip. This old man considers himself unlucky and is willing to double the compensation to you. You still have to push forward everywhere." What is your intention?" Mr. Jin sneered and said, "You don't know how important this dart trip is. Even if you are hacked into pieces, it will not be able to make up for the damage caused to me by the missed dart. Loss. I allow you to kill yourself to apologize, it is a great kindness. It seems that you are not willing to kill yourself?" Yuan Xiyou said angrily: "Nonsense, the old man asks himself that he is ashamed of the sky above, his heart is ashamed of his heart, and he is not ashamed of his earth below. Why should I kill myself?" Mr. Jin rolled his eyes, and said: "Dirty Han people, make sure you have more people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Yuan Xiyou became even more angry, and said, "How can you insult your own flesh and blood compatriots like this, aren't you a Han?" Yuan Xiyou lifted the table and threw it at Mr. Jin quickly.Yuan Xiyou was about to roll like a cat, the big knife was pulled out from his back, and he slashed at Mr. Jin's feet. He is very old and has such a huge body, and he is also fond of such unrefined moves as the lazy donkey rolling, which seems a bit unavoidable. funny.However, it's deadly funny, and if you're too busy laughing, your legs are going to lose you.You can't laugh, you have to run away quickly. Relying on his status, Mr. Jin would never resort to ugly and embarrassing moves even when his life was at stake.As soon as he dodged and retreated calmly, Yuan Xiyou's big saber cut through.Yuan Xiyou hadn't planned to hit it, so it was not surprising that he missed it. Instead, he took advantage of the rolling momentum to stand up, and with a stride, he had already reached the door.His ambition is not to kill the enemy, but to escape. But Mr. Jin was faster than him, and he had already blocked the door with his body.At this moment, Mr. Jin's sword was out of its sheath and stabbed directly at Yuan Xiyou's chest. Yuan Xiyou had to stop abruptly, and cut Mr. Jin's wrist with the big knife in his hand. Mr. Jin returned the sword.Holding Yuan Xiyou's big saber, the sword edge went down along the blade and slashed Yuan Xiyou's five fingers. If Yuan Xiyou didn't give up the saber, it might be difficult to save the five fingers. Fighting between two people with low martial arts is usually more troublesome, like two unreasonable women quarreling, endless.The two fought for more than forty rounds, and Yuan Xiyou gradually lost. He abandoned his knife, picked up a bench, and threw it at Mr. Jin as a hidden weapon.Mr. Jin turned sideways to pass the bench, and a gap appeared at the door. Yuan Xiyou seized the opportunity and used all his strength to fly, trying to reach the colorful world outside the door through the gap.In Yuan Xiyou's memory, he has never been so fast.His qinggong level skyrocketed tenfold at this moment.He was getting closer and closer to that gap, success was just ahead, and his heart was like a flower full of expectations, instantly blooming.However, from great joy to great sorrow is just a blink of an eye.In a daze, he saw a flash of sword light, and then his stomach felt cold, and then it became hot again.Yuan Xiyou stopped flying and fell on his back at the door. He finally saw the outside world: the street was deserted and deserted, the lights near and far were dimly shadowed, the trees were standing listlessly, and the ridge of the opposite roof was like a continuous undulating wave in the deep blue sky. Yuan Xiyou sighed resentfully, blood poured out from his wound, slowly submerging him. Those precious ones, shed a drop of blood, why don’t you stay in my body honestly, so that I won’t die, it will be of great benefit to you and me, why don’t you do it Woolen cloth?Why do you want to flow out of my body?Why do you prefer broken jade to broken tiles?Yuan Xiyou thought childishly.When people are dying, they often have some unrealistic and absurd fantasies.Of course, Mr. Jin couldn't understand his kind of morbid romantic thoughts.Mr. Jin wiped off Jianfeng's blood with a handkerchief, and looked coldly at Yuan Xiyou lying on the ground, the future corpse.He hypocritically asked: "Boss Yuan, are you okay?" Yuan Xiyou was pulled out of his dying fantasies by Mr. Jin's words, and said softly, "I think, I'm going to die." Mr. Jin said: "Yes, you are going to die." Yuan Xiyou said: "You came to kill me on purpose." Mr. Jin said: "That's right, because you deserved to die." Yuan Xiyou said: "You know I didn't rob the dart." Mr. Jin said: "I know you didn't rob the dart, and I also know that your son is really dead. I just want to watch you die in front of me, you trash, ruining my affairs, no matter whether you are at fault or not. , must be repaid with my life. When I catch those guys who robbed the darts, I guarantee they will end up like you." He finished speaking viciously, but found that Yuan Xiyou was not listening at all, Yuan Xiyou didn't Know when you have closed your eyes and died.Like a reckless teenager bidding farewell to his first love, he bid farewell to his own life.Mr. Jin stabbed Yuan Xiyou's left and right thighs with his sword again. Seeing that Yuan Xiyou did not respond at all, he was convinced that Yuan Xiyou was dead.So he wiped the newly stained blood on the sword again, put the sword back into its sheath, and strode away. The waiter who was huddled in the counter finally plucked up the courage to come out. He first searched Yuan Xiyou's clothes and found a money bag. Put the purse back to its original place, and then yelled and ran to the government to report the crime with weak legs.
