Chapter 805 The Wizard's Junior

After much inquiring and searching, Shi Dami finally found the mysterious wizard in an extremely remote alley rarely visited by people.

The wizard's face was haggard, with wrinkles all over his face like ravines, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and endless stories.

Shi Dami couldn't wait to step forward and said solemnly: "I am Shi Dami, the minister of the court. I have taken the trouble to come to you today. It is really important."

After hearing this, the wizard just raised his eyes slightly, his eyes as calm as water, and slowly said: "No matter you are a minister or a commoner, when you come to me, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Shi Dami was startled, then smiled, and said with an increasingly sincere attitude: "I am well aware of your principles and stance, but coming here this time is indeed a sincere invitation. I sincerely hope that you can come out and do things for me, Go to the imperial court and serve. As long as you are willing, you can rest assured that there will be no shortage of money. I can assure you that you will be rewarded for your hard work and will not be treated unfairly."

The wizard listened quietly to Shi Dami's words, and there was still no emotion on his face. After a while, he sighed softly and said: "To me, money is just a thing outside of me. How many people in this world have lost their way chasing money." With my true heart, how could I step into the disputes in the court for it?"

When Shi Dami heard this, he felt anxious in his heart and hurriedly said: "I hope that for the sake of all the people in the world, Master, you will not refuse anymore."

When the wizard heard this, a trace of emotion finally flashed in his eyes. He stood up slowly, his shabby black robe gently swaying in the wind, as if he was thinking about this difficult problem.

After a long time, he looked at Shi Dami and said slowly: "The wizard said expressionlessly: "If you want me to agree to your request, you have to work for me first. Now go fetch water and make sure the water tank is full; then go and spread rice in every corner of the yard. "

Shi Dami moved hurriedly. When he was carrying water, the bucket seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, weighing him down. When he was spreading rice, he was in a hurry and scattered it extremely unevenly.

After finally finishing it, Shi Dami looked at the wizard with a flattering smile, and the wizard nodded slightly, "Huh, I'm still somewhat sincere. Let me prepare for this journey with you."

At this time, he saw that one of Smith's buttons fell off.

"Why are there no buttons on your clothes?"

"Maybe I accidentally dropped it while working. It doesn't matter."

Smith and the wizard set off together and walked towards the court.

Arriving at a seemingly ordinary courtyard, the wizard suddenly stopped.

"This is my home, I need to go back to get some items." The wizard said.

Shi Dami looked surprised. When he looked carefully at the small courtyard, he was suddenly shocked.

This was actually the place where he had taken shelter on a rainy day. The kind old woman and the lovely Jiaojiao lived here at that time. He did not expect to have such a connection with the wizard, and he was filled with mystery.

The wizard stepped into the house and immediately saw the old woman's body lying on the ground. The familiar face was lifeless at the moment. He stood there as if struck by lightning, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Before he could recover, he caught a glimpse of Jiaojiao who had hanged herself. Her little body was hanging in the air, like a prematurely withered flower.

His lips trembled, and after a while he let out a heart-rending scream, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

He rushed over frantically, trying to hug Jiaojiao, but he collapsed to the ground weakly, muttering "What's going on, what's going on..."

His eyes suddenly focused on the button in Jiaojiao's hand, and then he looked at Shi Dami. Thinking that the same button was missing from his clothes, he suddenly became angry.

"You! Is it you? Is it you, the devil!" the wizard roared, the anger in his eyes seeming to devour Smith, "Why are you so cruel? They are just ordinary people!"

Shi DaMi stepped back repeatedly and waved his hands in panic, "No, it's not me. I don't know why this happened!"

But the wizard was overwhelmed by grief and anger at this time. He rushed towards Shi Dami, and the two struggled with each other.

Shi DaMi blushed and shouted loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, please don't slander me!"

The wizard glared angrily.

"Hmph, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? Where did this button come from?"

Shi Dami secretly felt cruel in his heart, thinking that this old wizard now believes that it was me. If he were to be let back, it would definitely be detrimental to me in the court. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity and do everything possible to get rid of him.

His eyes turned cold, and he secretly clenched his fists, secretly looking for an opportunity to take action.

The murderous intent in Shi Dami's eyes became more intense, and he rushed towards the wizard, trying to throw him to the ground.

Although the wizard was old, he reacted very quickly and dodged sideways to avoid Shi Dami's attack.

"You insidious villain, it is indeed you!" the wizard roared angrily, and with a wave of his hand, a strange light shot towards Smith.

Shi Dami quickly rolled to avoid it. After standing up, he took out a dagger from his arms.

"Old guy, you must die today!" He said and rushed towards the wizard again, and the two started a desperate fight in the small courtyard.

The surrounding objects were scattered in all directions due to the impact of their fighting, and they were in a mess.

The wizard was hiding while shouting: "You villain, you will be punished by God for doing this!"

However, Smith has been swallowed up by ambition and fear, and he can still listen.

All he thought about was that the wizard must not be allowed to live.

Shi Dami rushed towards the wizard desperately, the dagger in his hand shining coldly.

The wizard was old and frail, and gradually became invincible, and was eventually choked by Shi Dami.

The wizard's face flushed red, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but his life was still fading away gradually, and he could not close his eyes until he died.

After Smith killed the wizard, he stood there breathing heavily.

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from the air like a ghost, and the laughter echoed in the small courtyard full of the smell of death.

Shi Dami felt his heart suddenly shrink, and his whole body jumped up in fright.

His eyes were full of panic, and he searched around frantically, finally settling on the door.

I saw a man appear at the door. He was tall and tall, holding an exquisite fan in his hand, and he was shaking it gently.

The man flashed a meaningful smile, but that smile made Shi Dami feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Hmph, don't be so flustered. You are so timid and unbecoming of a minister." The man's voice was a bit joking, "I watched the whole process of how you killed this old thing. It’s very clear.”

Shi Dami tried hard to steady his trembling body, pretending to be calm and asked coldly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

His hands were secretly clenched behind his back, ready for an attack at any time.

The man seemed to have heard an extremely funny question. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into even louder laughter. The laughter made Smith's ears buzz.

After a while, the man stopped laughing, pointed his fan at Smith, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that this old wizard and I have sworn hatred. I have been looking forward to his death." "Now that he died in your hands, it's too late for me to be happy. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, we may still be allies."

As he spoke, he walked slowly towards Shi DaMi, and every step seemed to step on Shi DaMi's nervous nerves.

Shi Dami stared at the man approaching step by step with vigilance, and said in a low voice: "Ally? Humph, why should I trust you? Don't come any closer!"

But the man seemed not to have heard, and continued to walk leisurely, with the smile on his lips getting thicker.

"You don't believe me? That's okay. If word gets out that you killed the wizard, what do you think will happen to you? People who admire him will not let you go, a murderer, not to mention that you are a murderer. A well-known wizard."

The man stopped a few steps away from Shi Dami, with a cunning look in his eyes that could see everything.

Shi Dami's heart trembled, and he knew that what the man said was true.

"Then what do you want?" Smith asked through gritted teeth.

"It's very simple. We cooperate. Once the wizard dies, some things will be unguarded. Let's go get it together. By then, we will have all the glory, wealth, power and status we have."

The man's eyes flashed with greed, as if he had already seen a bright future.

Shi Dami was a little shaken in his heart. He was an ambitious man, but he still had some concerns: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now to silence you?"

The man shook his fan lightly and said nonchalantly: "You can try, but my people are nearby. As long as I have something good or bad, your secret will spread throughout the streets and alleys immediately."

Shi Dami clenched his fists and fell into deep thought. The man in front of him was like a poisonous snake, dangerous but also fatally tempting.

The man raised his head slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in his expression, and said slowly: "To be honest, I am the wizard's junior brother, and my name is Alexander. I was supposed to be the one who came to kill him, but you didn't expect it. Come first."

Shi Dami frowned, and there was still doubt in his eyes, "Are you telling the truth? What proof is there?"

Alexander chuckled lightly and took out a jade pendant from his arms. The texture of the jade pendant was warm, and the patterns engraved on it were somewhat similar to some mysterious symbols in the wizard's home.

"This jade pendant is a token of my relationship with him. He has one and I have one. Do you trust me now?"

Shi Dami looked at the jade pendant, still dubious in his heart, but his expression softened a little, "Even if you are his junior brother, how can you guarantee that I can escape unscathed when you say you want to cooperate?"

Alexander patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely keep my mouth shut about what happened today. My senior brother is old-fashioned and pedantic. I have long been looking forward to him disappearing."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Smith impatiently and said, "Why are you so long-winded? If you don't want to cooperate, then I'll leave and pretend I've never been here." As he said that, he pretended to leave.

"Wait!" Smith shouted hurriedly, "I am willing to cooperate with you."

Alexander smiled proudly.

Shi Dami continued: "I have to tell you, my identity is an imperial official. If you lie to me, the consequences will be very serious."

Alexander was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to calm.

"Hmph, so what if you are a court official? Don't scare me with this. I am a person who sticks to my word."

Shi Dami then said: "Now the king hates Xi Yu, the Prime Minister of the Central Plains, and wants to overthrow him. He even hopes to curse him. Can you do it?"

After hearing this, Alexander nodded and said: "However, this powerful curse technique requires a lot of my mana, and you have to pay a lot of money."

Smith smiled confidently: "Currency is not a problem for me, as long as things can be done."

Alexander frowned slightly: "But there is another key point. To cast the curse, you must know the birth date of the person involved. Do you know the birth date of Xi Yu, the Prime Minister of the Central Plains?"

Shi DaMi looked troubled: "I don't know, but I can check it out."

Alexander thought for a moment and then said: "Well, I will trust you once. I hope you will act quickly and not waste the opportunity. This cooperation can only succeed and cannot fail."

Shi DaMi nodded repeatedly, and the two reached an agreement to cooperate.

On the other side, Xi Yu hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, his eyes fell on Song Shuwen and asked quickly: "Is Dongfang Hong not here yet?"

Song Shuwen shook his head gently.

"Not yet."

Time passed by minute by second, and just when Xi Yu was getting a little anxious, Dongfang Hong's figure finally appeared.

He looked at Xi Yu and nodded solemnly.

Xi Yu said: "In that case, let's set off. This operation is of great importance, and we must be careful."

After speaking, several people looked at each other with determination in their eyes.

Halfway through, Xi Yu seemed to be suddenly awakened. He stopped, frowned, and said with worry: "Is it too rash for us to just leave like this? I just thought of a question, are we going to Don’t you put on makeup? It’ll be troublesome if someone recognizes you.”

Dongfanghong suddenly slapped his head after hearing this.

"Yeah, how could I forget this question? There are so many people on this road."

Song Shuwen also scratched his head. "

I haven't considered this issue either. "

Xiyu couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"We three grown men are rough in everything we do and don't always pay attention to details. You guys wait for me here, I'd better go back and put on makeup, it's safer."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the way he came.

Dongfang Hong and Song Shuwen waited in place, looking at Xi Yu's retreating back, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I hope he won't delay too long." Dongfang Hong said.

Not long after, Xiyu ran back panting.

I saw some camouflage lines on his face, and his skin tone became darker. He looked like a businessman who had been traveling around all year round.

"How's it going? You shouldn't be easily recognized this way." Xi Yu patted the dust on his body.

"Well, not bad. Let's continue on our way." Dongfang Hong nodded, and the three of them embarked on the journey again, but this time they were more cautious, always paying attention to what was going on around them.

Xi Yu lowered his voice and asked Song Shuwen: "Do you think you can really tell whether it is human flesh by looking at those meat buns? There can be no mistakes in this matter."

Song Shuwen looked proud and said: "If it is human flesh, I can definitely tell it. However, this identification method is extremely complicated and cannot be mastered by ordinary doctors. It took me many years of study to gain this confidence."

Dongfang Hong was listening, frowning slightly.

"I hope your judgment is correct. It's all up to you this time. If something goes wrong, we will all be in dire straits."

Xi Yu also nodded.

Dongfang Hong brought Xi Yu and Song Shuwen to the bun shop.

The early morning sunshine shines on the street, and the steamed bun shop is bustling with people. The queue to buy steamed buns has already stretched out for a long time.

Dongfanghong said: "Whether you are eating at home or eating here, you have to queue up."

As soon as they arrived, they heard a quarrel.

"Why did you jump in line?" A big man pointed angrily at a scholar-looking man in front of him and yelled.

The scholar blushed and defended anxiously: "I didn't jump in line. I just went to the side to see if there was anything else to eat. This is my seat."

The big man refused and said, "Huh, who can prove it? I've been waiting here all the time, and I haven't seen you here."

The scholar was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Everyone is queuing up, am I that kind of person?"

People around him began to talk, some tried to stop the fight, and some started to boo.

While everyone was watching the excitement, Dongfang Hong and the three of them stood aside calmly and observed the situation at the bun shop.

"We have to find a way to go in and take a look. It's not easy to move around with so many people stuck here." Xi Yu whispered to Dongfang Hong and Song Shuwen.

At this time, the quarrel became more and more fierce. The big man grabbed the scholar's collar. The scholar struggled hard, and the people around him started to fight.

The big man's eyes widened angrily: "If he doesn't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end!"

The scholar also shouted: "I never jumped in line, you are too arrogant!"

After a while, a gray-haired old man walked over tremblingly on crutches and advised: "Young man, peace is the most important thing. Don't hurt your peace over such a trivial matter."

At this moment, the shopkeeper also walked out of the bun shop.

It was an extremely fat man, his smooth head glistening in the sun.

With a smile on his face, he said in a loud voice: "Dear guests, we are all here to buy steamed buns. What can we do if it's earlier or later? Stop arguing. Let's calm down."

The big man loosened the scholar's collar and snorted: "If it hadn't been for the shopkeeper's words, I wouldn't have finished with you today."

The scholar also straightened his clothes and said angrily: "It was not my fault in the first place."

However, the mood of the two people finally calmed down a little, and the people around them gradually dispersed, and the team returned to its previous order, except for the occasional few people who whispered about what happened just now.

Dongfanghong and the other three took the opportunity to look at the shopkeeper.

Three people lined up at the back of the team, and everyone around them was waiting quietly.

But not long after, Song Shuwen suddenly frowned, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and he hurriedly pulled Xiyu's arm.

Xiyu looked back in confusion, and it turned out that it was Song Meijiao and Xishi who came. (End of this chapter)
