Chapter 14 Oh My, Oh My, It’s All Oh My!

Outside Luzhou City.

The sun was slowly setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected a red color in the sky, as if reflecting the blood color tonight.

In a restaurant in Luzhou City, Zhao and Liu Rouwei sat opposite each other, eating and drinking.

Zhao had already changed into a human skin mask and now looked like a rich young man. Liu Rouwei, who was opposite Zhao, had a fair face and an ordinary appearance after putting on a human skin mask. At a glance, she could tell she was a maid or something.

When Zhao entered the city at noon today, he had already found out that Mazi's surname was He, and he lived in a manor in the southwest outside the city, near Linzi. He Mazi's mother died early, and now there are only seven members of the He family left.

Zhao felt relieved. Fortunately, there were few people. If there were more people, the loss of one thousand taels would be lost to his grandma's family. Thinking of this, Zhao went to the shopkeeper with half a bottle of wine and tentatively asked: "Shopkeeper, has nothing happened to He Mazi recently?"

"It's okay, Young Master, Mr. He. He recently wanted to buy the old man's house in the north of the city. Nothing else. An imperial envoy died in Jiangnan. How could he dare to cause trouble?" The shopkeeper thought Zhao was here to discuss business with He Mazi. A rich young man, who insists on not being offended, is careless and careless.

Zhao was disdainful. This shopkeeper also had a brain problem. How could a dead imperial envoy from the south make Haiqing Heyan from Luzhou in the north? However, as for the identity of the woman in the sack, Zhao estimated that she was Old Man Wang's daughter.

The underworld is not as good as the underworld. The underworld knows that it will not harm the family!

Hearing this, Zhao lost all he wanted to know. He thanked the shopkeeper, took Liu Rouwei out of the restaurant, changed to an inn, and asked for a room. Tell Liu Rouwei to stay away and explore the He family manor alone.

outside the city. Outside the manor. There were still water drops hanging on the trees in the forest, and the rain all night gave the soil a unique smell that was refreshing. The courtyard wall is not high, and you can have a panoramic view of the manor from a high place.

It is said to be a manor, but it looks nothing like it. It is not surrounded by flowing water and shady trees like a manor in the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it solemn and solemn like a courtyard in the north. It looks more like a big house with a few trees planted and a few rockeries. It was already late autumn, and all the leaves had fallen. From a distance, the entire house looked like a plucked white chicken.

Zhao stood on the hillside in the distance and watched for half an hour, silently remembering the terrain, the walking attendants, and the maids. As long as these unrelated people did not stop him, there was no need to be embarrassed. He was not a murderous person. .

After recognizing the faces of the He family members, Zhao turned around and left, letting them live a little longer and see the fallen leaves of autumn.

When he returned to the inn, Zhao took out his hidden weapon and quenched it with poison. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first perfect his weapon. Hidden weapon and poison, I am... a young man from the family.

When the night got darker, after changing the lights three times, Zhao stood up slowly, nodded towards Liu Rouwei who was drinking tea, and said: "Let's go, you are in a hurry to watch, I am in a hurry to make money.

In the woods outside the He family manor, Zhao was dressed in black and wearing an evil hat.

The ghost mask, with Tang Dao on his waist, smiled and said: "Wait until I come back. After killing the people, I will set a fire to see if it works."

Liu Rouwei didn't know what she was thinking and didn't speak. She just nodded.

"Watch the horse, silly woman!" Zhao waved his hand in front of Liu Rouwei's eyes to make sure she was listening.

After saying this, Liu Rouwei didn't wait for her reaction, she circulated her inner energy, used Chasing the Stars and Chasing the Moon, and disappeared into the night.

In the He family, He Laosan had just fallen asleep. A puff of light smoke slowly dispersed into the room from the window, and He Laosan gradually fell into drowsiness. At this time, the door was pushed open, and a flying knife hit He Laosan between the eyebrows.

The murderer was Zhao Jiu who entered the He family, and He Laosan was already the fourth. "The front yard has been cleaned up. There is another one on the left and two in the back. This place is so big that it is difficult to handle. It seems that we will have to take less business like this in the future. It can't be done by one person!" Zhao thought to himself.

After blowing out the candles and closing the door, Zhao slowly walked toward the room on the left.

The room was brightly lit with candles, and the sounds of men and women laughing and joking could be heard. Zhao felt helpless, as there was always something unplanned. He continued to blow smoke into the house, and waited until there was no more movement before opening the door and going in. When he saw the man lying on the table with two women in his arms, Zhao didn't waste any time and stabbed his neck with a sharp blow. After finishing him, he turned around and walked out to the backyard.

There was only one main house in the backyard, and candles were still burning. From the firelight, a figure could be seen sitting at the table drinking tea.

Zhao stopped blowing the smoke, held the knife and pushed the door open.

The old man sitting next to the table was shocked when he saw a man coming in with a knife. Just when he was about to shout, Zhao slowly spoke: "Old man, please don't shout. I only want money, not life."

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and asked for money. As long as it was not life-threatening, it didn't matter to him to give him some money.

"My hero, I am Pijing asleep in the back room. Let's sit down and talk about how much you want." The old man said with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax.

Zhao didn't talk nonsense, sat down opposite the old man, and said calmly: "Mr. He, I don't know how much money your He family has, but if I am not satisfied, you know the consequences very well."

Mr. He's expression changed. He had encountered a ruthless person. If he didn't hand over some of his family assets, nothing would happen. Mr. He took a long breath and said, "Come with me, hero. All the money of the He family is in the side house. I hope hero will keep his promise and spare the lives of the young man and his family."

"Okay, Mr. He, I only want wealth..." Zhao put the sword back into its sheath. He didn't say he was risking his life. Don't blame me then.

Mr. He stood up and looked into Zhao Jiu's eyes. He wanted to see how much truth Zhao Jiu's words contained. But after looking at it for a while, Zhao's eyes were calm, like a pool of stagnant water. Mr. He could only say please, and then lead the way.

Follow Mr. He around the corner and walk into the side courtyard. Mr. He turned the mechanism and the secret door slowly opened.

Zhao motioned to Mr. He to lead the way, while Zhao followed behind Mr. He. The secret door went all the way down, and after walking a few steps, I saw a cellar-like place with several boxes on the ground.

"My hero, the He family's wealth is here. You can take as much as you want, hero." Mr. He's eyes were lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Okay." Zhao already laughed out loud.

Before Mr. He could continue to speak, he was stabbed in the back. Mr. He was in pain. As soon as he turned around, a hand was pinching his neck.

"There is no way. It was said above that this kind of thing cannot be known to others, so you can't..." Zhao said sadly.

Mr. He was shocked, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.

Seeing him like this, Zhao seemed to understand something, and with a slight force on his hand, he pinched his neck.

Throwing the body away casually, he looked at several large boxes and couldn't help but laugh, "Err, er, all er!"

The sound echoed and hummed in the cellar. Open the box, put an ingot of silver into the space, then take out the fire stick and light the box. When the fire got bigger, Zhao walked out of the cellar slowly.

After returning to the side courtyard, Zhao did not close the secret door, turned around and went to the main courtyard, killing the person on the bed with a flying knife. Huo Zhezi lit the curtain, then went to the front yard and threw several torches in different rooms of the middle yard.

As the fire grew stronger, Zhao took off his mask, took off his night clothes, threw them into the fire, and jumped out of the yard. The fire behind him became bigger and bigger, reflecting the dark night, and the sound of putting out fires and splashing water continued one after another.

Back in the forest, Liu Rouwei was leaning against the tree, looking at the sky-high flames of the He family manor.

Zhao didn't bother her and stood next to her with his hands behind his back. Under the sparkle, Liu Rouwei smiled a little pitifully.

After watching for a while, Zhao pulled Liu Rouwei and said softly: "Let's go."

Liu Rouwei turned around, tears shining in her eyes, but judging from her expression, she was in a good mood. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and said with relief: "Where are we going?"

"Bingzhou, then turn to Luoyang, Chang'an, and out of Tongyu Pass, five hundred miles away is Jiuquan. We killed people in Luzhou and wiped out the family. It is only a matter of time before we are discovered by following the old road of Xingqing in Xuanfu in Yuzhou. Xuanzhou There are heavy troops stationed in the mansion, and the fourth rank can't withstand a cavalry charge." Zhao then led two horses and explained.

Liu Rouwei didn't comment, just got on her horse. The two reined up their horses and turned around, heading south in the light of the fire.
