Chapter 23 Twenty-second time before and after the murder

Chen Daguan, Zhang Laoshi, and Ding Laosi all came in, as if they were all waiting for Lu Xiaojia's order. But Lu Xiaojia never seemed to notice their existence. Until now, he still didn't turn his head to look at them, but said coldly, "Is there anyone here who will pay for me?" Chen Daguan immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, of course." Lu Xiaojia said: "You can do everything I want?" Chen Daguan said: "The villain will definitely try his best." Lu Xiaojia said coldly, "You'd better do your best." Chen Daguan said: "Please tell me."

Lu Xiaojia said: "I want five catties of peanuts, fried, not too ripe, not too raw." Chen Daguan said: "Yes." Lu Xiaojia said: "I also need a big bucket of hot water, a big six-foot-high wooden bucket." Chen Daguan said: "Yes." Lu Xiaojia said: "I have to prepare two new sets of underwear for me, either linen or poplin." Chen Daguan said: "Two sets?" Lu Xiaojia said: "Two sets, change to one before killing, and change to another after killing." Chen Daguan said: "Yes." Lu Xiaojia said: "If one of the peanuts is bad, I will cut off your hand. If there are two, I will kill you."

Chen Daguan took a deep breath and said, "Yes." Ye Kai suddenly said: "You must have taken a bath before killing someone?" Lu Xiaojia said: "Killing people is not killing pigs, killing people is a very clean and happy thing." Ye Kai said with a smile: "The person who was killed by you must wait for you to take a bath first?" Lu Xiaojia said coldly: "He doesn't need to wait, I can also cut off his legs first, and kill him after taking a bath." Ye Kai sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought you would have so much trouble before you killed someone."

Lu Xiaojia said: "After I kill someone, I will also be in trouble." Ye Kai said: "What's the trouble?" Lu Xiaojia said, "The biggest trouble." Ye Kai said: "A woman?" Lu Xiaojia said: "This is the second clever sentence you said." Ye Kai said with a smile: "The biggest trouble for men is women. I'm afraid even the most stupid men can understand this truth." Lu Xiaojia said: "So you have to prepare a woman for me, the best woman." Chen Daguan hesitated, and said: "But what if the girl in red dress came again?"

Lu Xiaojia suddenly laughed again, and said, "Are you afraid that she will be jealous?" Chen Daguan smiled wryly: "I'm not afraid, my head will be smashed easily." Lu Xiaojia said: "Do you think she really came to look for me?" Chen Daguan said: "Isn't it?" Lu Xiaojia said, "I've never seen her before." Chen Daguan was startled, and said: "Then she just now..." Lu Xiaojia lowered her face and said, "Can't you see that she's here to make trouble on purpose!" Chen Daguan was stunned. Lu Xiaojia said: "Then you must have leaked the news. She knew I was coming, so she came here first."

Chen Daguan said: "What are you doing here?" Lu Xiaojia said coldly, "Why don't you ask her?" A look of fear suddenly appeared in Chen Daguan's eyes, but there was still a smirk on his face. The smirk seemed to be etched on his face. Chen Daguan's silk and satin shop is not big, but in this kind of place, it can already be regarded as very grand. Of course there will be no business in the silk and satin shop today, so the two guys in the store also looked listless, hoping that it will be dark soon so that they can go home. Although they are guys in the store, they are the bosses at home.

Chen Daguan didn't stay in the store, and hurried to the back as soon as he came back. Pass through a small courtyard at the back, which is where he lives. He never imagined that there was someone waiting for him in the yard. There was a banyan tree in the yard, and Ye Kai stood under the tree, smiling, and said, "Did you expect me to be here?" Daguan Chen was taken aback, and immediately forced a smile and said, "Why isn't Mr. Ye chatting with Lu Xiaojia? Didn't the two of you chat very speculatively just now?" Ye Kai sighed and said, "He won't even let me eat a peanut, but I'm so hungry that I could swallow a horse."

Chen Daguan said: "I was about to rush back to start a fire to boil water, and there is still some food in the kitchen, if Young Master Ye doesn't mind..." Ye Kai hurriedly said: "I heard that Mrs. Chen cooks good dishes, I never thought I would have such a blessing." Chen Daguan sighed, and said: "It's a pity that Young Master Ye came today, just in time for her to be ill." Ye Kai frowned and said, "Are you sick?" Chen Daguan said: "And he's still so sick that he can't even get out of bed." Ye Kai suddenly sneered and said, "I don't believe it."

Chen Daguan was stunned again, and said: "Why do you want to lie to Mr. Ye?" Ye Kai said coldly: "She was fine yesterday, why did she suddenly get sick today? I want to see what strange disease she has." His face was sullen, as if he was about to break into the house. Chen Daguan lowered his head and said slowly: "Since that's the case, I might as well take you to have a look." He really took Ye Kai from the living room to the back bedroom, quietly opened the door and lifted the curtain. The light in the room was very dark, the windows were tightly closed, and it was full of medicinal fragrance.

A woman was facing the wall, sleeping on the bed, her hair was messed up, and she was covered with a quilt. She really looked sick. Ye Kai sighed and said, "It seems that I blamed you." Chen Daguan smiled apologetically, "It doesn't matter." Ye Kai said: "How can she still cover her with a quilt on such a hot day? If you are not sick, you will get sick from the heat." Chen Daguan said: "She is shaking, she was still shaking after covering two quilts last night." Ye Kai suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "How can a dead person still tremble?"

Before he could finish his sentence, his men rushed in, setting off a quilt. The quilt is red. Blood is red!People are stiff and cold. Ye Kai gently covered the quilt, as if afraid of waking the woman up. He thought she would never wake up. Ye Kai sighed and turned his head slowly. Chen Daguan was still standing there, with a gloomy smile—as if it was carved on his face. Ye Kai sighed: "It seems that I will never have the good fortune to taste the dishes made by Mrs. Chen." Chen Daguan said coldly: "Dead people really don't know how to cook." Ye Kai said: "What about you?" Chen Daguan said: "I am not dead." Ye Kai said: "But you should be." Chen Daguan said: "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "Because I have seen you in the coffin." Chen Daguan's eyelids were twitching, but there was still a smile on his face - this smile was already engraved on his face. Ye Kai said: "It's really not too difficult to pretend to be Chen Daguan, because this person is always smiling all day long, and his face seems to be wearing a mask." Chen Daguan said coldly: "So this person deserves to die." Ye Kai said: "But no matter how much you look like, you can't hide it from his wife. There is no such mysterious disguise technique in the world." Chen Daguan said: "So his wife deserves to die too." Ye Kai said: "I'm just wondering why you didn't put his wife in the coffin too?" Chen Daguan said: "It's better to have someone sleep here, so as not to make the staff suspicious." Ye Kai said: "You didn't expect that there are still people who are suspicious." Chen Daguan said: "It's really unexpected." Ye Kai said: "So I deserve to die too." Daguan Chen sighed suddenly, and said, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you at all." Ye Kai nodded, and said, "I understand, you all want to deal with Fu Hongxue." Chen Daguan also nodded and said, "He really deserves to die." Ye Kai said: "Why?" Chen Daguan sneered, "You don't understand?" Ye Kaidao: "Anyone who is an enemy of Wanmatang deserves to die?" Chen Daguan closed his mouth. Ye Kaidao: "You were found by Wanmatang?" Chen Daguan's mouth closed even tighter. But his hand let go, it was empty, but at this moment, a cloud of cold light shot out like a rainstorm. At the same instant, a little silver star shot into the window, and suddenly, it scattered like a flower tree. A little silver star turned into a rain of flowers, and the silver light flickered, so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes. At the same moment, a knife was inserted into the throat of "Chen Daguan". He didn't see where the knife came from until his death. You can't see the knife, but you can see the hidden weapon. The hidden weapon can be seen, but Ye Kai's person has disappeared. Then, there was no news of the flashing silver light and rain of flowers all over the room. Ye Kai's people were still invisible. The wind was blowing outside the window, but there was no breathing in the room. After a long time, suddenly a hand gently opened the window, a beautiful hand with long fingers and clean nails. But the sleeves were very dirty, dirty, greasy, and greasy. This is by no means Zhang Honest's hand, but Zhang Honest's sleeve. A face came in quietly, and it was also an honest face. He still didn't see Ye Kai, but saw the knife on Chen Daguan's throat. His hands suddenly stiffened. Then he suddenly had a knife on his own throat. He never saw the knife until his death. A knife stuck in someone's throat is of course not dangerous, of course he can see it. Unfortunately, he only saw the knife. Is it true that only the invisible knife is the scariest thing? Ye Kai swept down from the roof like light smoke, first picked up two hidden weapons, and then drew out his knife. As he stared at his knife, his expression suddenly became very serious, so serious that it was almost respectful. "I will never ask you to kill extra people, I promise, all the people I kill must be killed!" Boss Song opened his eyes. There were two people in the room, both of them were sleeping on the bed, and a woman was facing the wall, sleeping in almost the same posture as Chen Daguan's wife, except that her hair was already grey. Their husband and wife are not young. They all seemed to be asleep. Boss Song didn't open his eyes until there was a third person's voice in the room. Immediately he saw a hand. There are two very strange things in his hand, one is like miscanthus in the mountains, and the other is like flowers made of mercury condensation. He looked up again, only to see Ye Kai. The room was also very dark, but Ye Kai's eyes were as bright as two lamps, staring at him, and said, "Do you know what this is?" Boss Song shook his head, his eyes were full of surprise and fear, and even his neck seemed to be stiff. Ye Kai said: "This is a hidden weapon." Boss Song said: "Hidden weapon?" Ye Kaidao: "A hidden weapon is a weapon that can kill in secret." Boss Song didn't know if he understood, but he finally nodded. Ye Kaidao: "These two hidden weapons, one is called 'Five Poisons Ruyi Mang' and the other is called 'Fire Tree Silver Flower', they are the unique hidden weapons of Pan Ling, the flower picking bee." Boss Song licked his dry lips, forced a smile and said, "I've never heard of the names of these two heroes." Ye Kai said: "They are not heroes." Boss Song said: "No?" Ye Kai said: "They are all thieves from the lower five sects, and they are flower pickers." He lowered his face, and continued: "I have always valued other people's lives, but people like them are exceptions." Boss Song said: "I understand... there is no one who doesn't hate flower pickers." Ye Kaidao: "But they are also the five people who like to use hidden weapons the most among the five lower sects." Boss Song said, "Five people?" Ye Kaidao: "These five people are called the Five Poisons of the Jianghu. Besides the two of them, there are three more poisonous people." Boss Song was moved and said, "Could it be that all five people have come?" Ye Kai said: "Probably not one." Boss Song said, "When did you come?" Ye Kaidao: "The day before yesterday was the day someone brought the coffin." Boss Song said: "Why didn't I see five such strangers coming to town that day!" Ye Kai said: "It wasn't just the five of them who came that day, but they all hid in coffins, so no one in the town found out." Boss Song said: "The hunchback came here to bring the coffins, could it be that he wants to bring these people here?" Ye Kai said: "Probably so." Boss Song said: "Are they still hiding in the coffin?" Ye Kai said: "Now there are only dead people in the coffin." Boss Song heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So they are all dead." Ye Kaidao: "It's a pity that it's not them who died, but someone else." Boss Song said, "How could it be someone else?" Ye Kai said: "Because when they came out, another group of people went in." Boss Song lost his voice and said, "Who will go in instead?" Ye Kaidao: "Now I only know that Caihuafeng exchanged for Chen Daguan, and Pan Ling exchanged for Zhang Laoshi." Boss Song said: "He...how did they change?" Ye Kaidao: "There is a man in this town who is the best at disguise in the world!" Boss Song said, "Who?" Ye Kai said: "Ximen Chun." Boss Song frowned and said, "Who is Ximenchun? Why have I never heard of it?" Ye Kai said: "I also want to find out who he is now, and I will find it sooner or later." Boss Song said: "You said he disguised Caihuafeng as Chen Daguan and Pan Ling as Zhang Laoshi?" Ye Kai nodded and said: "It's a pity that no matter how exquisite the disguise technique is, it can't be hidden from my relatives, so Zhang Laoshi was the first one they chose." Boss Song said, "Why?" Ye Kaidao: "Because Zhang Laoshi has neither relatives nor friends, and he rarely takes a bath, there are not many people who dare to approach him." Boss Song said: "So even if he changes his appearance, no one will notice." Ye Kaidao: "It's a pity that there are not many people like Zhang Laoshi and Ding Laosi in the town." Boss Song said: "Why did they choose Chen Daguan?" Ye Kai said: "Because he is also a very annoying person, and no one wants to approach him." Boss Song said: "But he has a wife." Ye Kai said: "So his wife must die." Boss Song sighed, and said: "This is really sitting behind closed doors, and the disaster is coming from the sky." He sighed and wanted to sit up, but Ye Kai pressed his shoulder and said, "I have told you many things, and I have something to ask you." Boss Song said: "Please advise." Ye Kai said: "Since Zhang Laoshi is Pan Ling, and Chen Daguan is a flower picking bee, who are you?" Boss Song was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "My surname is Song, and my name is Song Daji. It's just that few people call me by my name these days." Ye Kai said: "Is that because everyone knows you are treacherous and cunning, and no one dares to pester you." Boss Song forced a smile and said, "Fortunately, those people haven't selected me as their substitute." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Boss Song said: "I don't think Young Master Ye will think that I'm a fake too." Ye Kai said: "Why not?" Boss Song said: "I am a yellow-faced woman who has been with me for decades, can I still not be able to tell if I am real or not?" Ye Kai said coldly: "If she is already dead, she won't be able to tell the truth from the fake." Boss Song lost his voice: "Can I still sleep on the same bed with the dead?" Ye Kai said: "Is there anything you can't do? Not to mention a dead person, even a dead dog..." Before he finished speaking, the old woman sleeping on the bed suddenly sighed and turned over. Ye Kai couldn't continue speaking. At least the dead can't turn over. He only heard his wife muttering to herself, as if she was still talking in sleep... Of course dead people can't talk in sleep. Ye Kai retracted his hand. Boss Song's eyes showed a look of pride, and he said leisurely: "Master Ye, do you want to wake her up and ask her?" Ye Kai could only smile and said, "No need." Boss Song finally sat up and said with a smile, "Then please invite Mr. Ye to serve tea in the hall." Ye Kai said: "No need." He seemed embarrassed to stay any longer and was about to leave, but Boss Song suddenly grabbed the old woman's wrist and threw her towards Ye Kai. Of course, this move was unexpected, Ye Kaizheng didn't know whether to reach out to pick it up, or not to pick it up. At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly spewed out from the bed. The light purple smoke is as beautiful as the sunset. Ye Kai just stretched out his hand to support the old woman and sent him back to the bed, his own person was already in the smoke. Boss Song looked at him with a grin in his eyes, waiting for him to fall down. Ye Kai didn't fall down. When the smoke dissipated, Boss Song found that his eyes were still as bright as before. It was nothing short of a miracle. As long as there is a trace of bone miasma, even the hardened people will be turned into mud. Boss Song's whole body seemed to be stiff with fear. Ye Kai looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "It really is you." Boss Song said: "You already know who I am?" Ye Kai said: "If I didn't know, I would have fallen down now." Boss Song said: "You were prepared when you came?" Ye Kai smiled and said: "Since I have said those words to you, of course you will not let me go again. If I am not prepared, how dare I come?" Boss Song gritted his teeth and said, "But I can't think of how you can resolve my bone-shattering miasma." Ye Kai said: "You can think about it slowly." Boss Song's eyes lit up again. Ye Kai said: "As long as you tell who made the disguise for you, maybe you can think about it for another ten or twenty years." Boss Song said, "What if I don't tell you?" Ye Kai said lightly: "Then you may never have time to think about it." Boss Song stared at him and sneered, "Maybe I don't have to think about it at all, maybe I can ask you to say it yourself." Ye Kai said: "You don't even have a chance." Boss Song said, "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "As long as you move your hand, I will immediately tell you to die on the bed." His tone was mild, yet filled with a terrifying confidence that one couldn't help but believe. Boss Song looked at him, heaved a long sigh, and said, "I don't even know who you are, but I trust you." Ye Kai smiled and said, "I promise you will never regret it." Boss Song said: "If I don't tell you, you will never know who it is..." He didn't finish his sentence. Suddenly, his whole body convulsed, and his eyes had turned dead black, as if two lights had suddenly gone out. Ye Kai ran over immediately and found a needle stuck in his neck. Pale blue needles. Granny Du strikes again!She really didn't die. Where are her people?Could it be Boss Song's wife? But the old woman's body was limp and paralyzed, and her breathing stopped. Not everyone can resist like Ye Kai. Where did the gut-breaking needle come from? Ye Kai raised his head, only to find that there was a small transom on the roof, which had been opened a line. He didn't jump up immediately. He knew very well what kind of hidden weapon the heartbroken needle was. Where did he come in from just now, and where is he going out now. Because he knows it's the safest way.
