Chapter 347

Since the three people were talking in low voices, Liu Zhiyuan could only hear a few words vaguely, and they didn't connect the dots. Just as he was wondering, Zhao Jue's words almost scared him to jump up.

"What...what...what do you mean?"

"Literally." Zhao Jue was too lazy to waste words.

He waved at Baihu with a sullen face, wiped the blood off his hands with a cotton towel, and said softly: "Talk to him, after all, the person that group wanted to kill was him, and it's not right for him to die inexplicably."

Baihu nodded, pulled off the black cloth covering his face to wipe his hands, raised his eyebrows at Liu Zhiyuan, and said: "Old Liu, you are really easy to offend people."

He pointed at the black-clothed man whose neck was twisted, "This one said that he got the order in Shu. From the moment he came out of Jinguan City, he has been following you, saying that he wanted to steal your tricks."

He pointed at another black-clothed man covered in blood, smiled and said: "He doesn't need to say anything, you can tell from his accent, it's clearly from the Annan region."

"Both of them followed us for two days, and they came for you. Moreover, they both said the same thing: many people took this business, including... the ghost market."

After hearing his words, Liu Zhiyuan's usually cheerful face became extremely nervous at this time. Drops of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, his two little eyes rolled around, floating, his nostrils opened and closed, and his lips stammered.

"Old Liu, you made a wrong bet this time."

Zhao Jue glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer.

"What bet is wrong?" Zhuque asked with his hands folded.

Baihu also turned his head to look at Zhao Jue, with a puzzled expression. Seeing this, Zhao Jue did not hide it, raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and raised his chin to Liu Zhiyuan.

Smiled and asked: "Old Liu, can you tell me?"

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head indifferently, "Having come to this point, is there anything that cannot be said? Say it."

"Okay."

He was not polite and roughly repeated the conversation between the two that day. Of course, some of them were related to the emperor, which were omitted by Zhao Jue.

After all, they were Jinyiwei, so it was better not to say some things, so as not to get yourself into trouble.

After listening quietly, Baihu and Zhuque glanced at Liu Zhiyuan one after another, folded their hands and sighed at the same time.

"Alas..."

After a moment of silence, Zhuque was still angry, glared at Liu Zhiyuan, and snorted: "You are so daring! Hemp stalks are good at playing with hammers, you don't know how to live or die!"

Liu Zhiyuan didn't react much, sitting on the chair with his head down, like a child who did something wrong, and didn't say a word. Zhao Jue, on the other hand, was amused and laughed, and then received the same treatment as Liu Zhiyuan: Zhuque glared fiercely.

He had no choice but to send a comforting look to Zhuque, and smiled to comfort the three people, saying: "Okay, okay, just make it clear, at least you are not a fool, and besides, it's not that there is no chance at all."

Baihu raised his head and sighed: "Where is the chance? There are ten little masters in the ghost market. We have too few people."

"No!" Zhao Jue raised his hand and affirmed.

"If you are careful enough, three people are enough!"

Hearing this, Baihu, Zhuque and Liu Zhiyuan felt incredible, especially Liu Zhiyuan, his eyes almost jumped out of his sockets, and he opened his mouth slightly but couldn't say a word.

You didn't say that a few hours ago!

Zhao ignored the surprised expressions of the three people, took out the human skin mask from his arms and put it on, slowly smoothing out the abnormalities on his face.

When it was completely fitted to the skin and there was no abnormality, he said: "Please clean up the body. I'm going out for a while. Before I come back, the three of you should not show up, and don't turn on the lights. It's best to rest."

After saying that, he ignored the reactions of the three people, put on his coat and hurried downstairs.

He walked out of the inn and walked forward along the shadows of the wall. He walked through the streets one by one, but he didn't stop for a second, and his steps were fast until he came to a coffin shop.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened and an old man poked his head out. After looking at Zhao for a few times, he frowned and asked, "Sir, are you going to buy coffin?"

"Well, I'll go in and pick it out."

"Okay."

The old man opened the door, waited for Zhao to walk in, and immediately closed the door. He changed his face and asked cheerfully, "Sir, are you going to buy coffin for someone?"

Zhao understood the meaning of the words and waved his hand, "No, I'm sending a letter first."

"To whom?"

"King Chujiang."

"Who are you?" The old man was stunned for a moment, stopped, and his hand slowly touched his waist.

Zhao said, "My family, Jiutong."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and smiled, "So it's my family. I thought it was revenge. Haha, just write it. I will definitely send it to King Chujiang as soon as possible. But..."

"How much?"

"Fifty taels, how about it?"

"Okay." Zhao wrote quickly and agreed casually.

After writing the letter, he put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, threw fifty taels of silver to the old man, and after thinking for a while, threw him another ingot.

He tapped the envelope with his fingertips and reminded him in a deep voice: "Remember to be quick, the situation is urgent, if something goes wrong, you will be the only one to blame."

"Don't worry. The lord will give enough silver, and we will run as fast as flying. I guarantee that it will reach the hands of King Chujiang within two days."

"Okay! Pick me a few more coffins." Zhao Ju said.

The old man paused when he took the letter, turned his head and looked at Zhao Ju strangely, not quite understanding what he meant.

"What? The coffin shop doesn't sell coffins?"

"Sell, sell! How big do you want?" The old man came back to his senses in an instant, raised his hand and smiled.

After measuring Liu Zhiyuan's size for a while, Zhao Ju continued to say: "It's about this big!"

Although he was puzzled about why he bought such a large coffin, it was not his business, so the old man nodded and asked, "How many do you want?"

"Ten!"

The old man shook his head, "Not that many, I only have four of this size, otherwise you wait a few days, I'll find someone else in the same business, but the price is a bit expensive."

Zhao Jue calculated silently in his heart. Forget it, time is tight and the task is heavy, four is four, there is nothing I can do.

"Okay, four is four, how much?"

"One hundred taels." The old man said happily.

"I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels. But you go find a bullock cart now and pull the four coffins to the back door of XX Inn. How about it?" Zhao Jue asked softly.

Of course the old man agreed. He hurriedly poured Zhao Jue a cup of tea, and then smiled and said, "Sit for a while, I'll go and call the bullock cart now!"

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

The old man was surprisingly efficient, and before he finished half of a cup of tea, the bullock cart was already waiting at the door.

Four or five people worked together to move the coffin onto the oxcart, one body per cart. The oxcart was moving in front, and Zhao followed behind. The five of them slowly headed for the back door of the inn.

The oxcart was not moving very fast, and it was already slightly light when it arrived at the back door of the inn. Zhao left the oxcart waiting at the back door and walked quickly into the inn.

He pushed the door open and walked in, and the three of them were there. He didn't say much nonsense, and took out three human skin masks from his arms, "Put them on, and then Lao Liu and I will go out."
