A knife in love

Chapter 1174

With his back to Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi, Xiao Dong walked slowly to the side of the two corpses, bent down and looked carefully, then turned the two corpses over with his feet, and looked up and down for a long time.Finally, he kicked with his right foot and sent the two corpses flying into the river.

Zhang Shi was shocked for a while, and ran over in a hurry, reached out and grabbed two handfuls of soil on the ground, and threw them on the place where the two corpses lay to cover the blood on the ground.In a blink of an eye, he saw two broken swords lying on the ground again. He suppressed the fear in his heart, picked up the two broken swords, walked quickly to the edge of the stone bridge, and threw the broken swords into the river.

Xiao Dong stood at the end of the bridge, turning a blind eye to Zhang Shi running around, and just staring at the light on the other side of the stone bridge.After Zhang Shi threw away the broken sword, he sneered and said, "Mr. Zhang, why do you think I killed these two people?"

Zhang Shi said with a sneer: "Master Xiao killed them, of course there is a reason for killing them. The villain is stupid and doesn't know what Master Xiao is thinking."

Xiao Dong snorted, took a look at Zhang Shi, and then said: "Mr. Zhang must be blaming me for doing things like Meng Lang, and wanting to kill people indiscriminately, right?"

Zhang Shi was deeply embarrassed by what Xiao Dong said, but he couldn't admit it, so he waved his hands again and again, and said in his mouth: "Where did Master Xiao say that? The villain only admires Master Xiao, so how dare he have something to say?" Suspicious? If Lord Xiao treats the villain as such a fool who can't tell right from wrong, he would be wronging the villain."

Xiao Dong sneered again, ignored Zhang Shi, turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng and said, "What's your opinion, Mr. Zhu?"

Li Qiufeng didn't know why Xiao Dong suddenly killed the two men in Tsing Yi, but he knew that Xiao Dong had always been suspicious of him, even if he knew the reason for his killing, he would never say it out.Therefore, Li Qiufeng pretended to be flustered on purpose, shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Xiao, although you are a Beijing official, but you killed two people, if the yamen here find out, there will be extremely serious consequences." Big trouble. We had better get back to the ship as soon as possible, anchor and sail, and find another place to anchor."

Seeing Li Qiufeng's terrified expression, Xiao Dong thought to himself, this kid is good at martial arts, but he doesn't have much knowledge, and he is timid, so I saw the suspicious behavior of these two men in Tsing Yi just now. come out.Judging by his appearance, he is indeed an ignorant child who has learned martial arts from his family, and he can be played with in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Dong thought about this, he smiled, slowly stretched out his right hand, and said: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, look at what this is?"

Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng looked at Xiao Dong's hand, but saw his right index finger and middle finger together, holding a jade pendant.The jade pendant was the size of a palm, and under the light of the lantern, there was a faint green light, and at a glance, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.

Xiao Dong picked up the jade pendant with his fingers, shook it lightly in front of Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi, and said to them: "This jade pendant is a precious thing. Both Zhang Yuanwai and Mr. Zhu are wealthy businessmen with huge wealth. This jade pendant will never be forgotten. Do you two still remember who this jade pendant was originally on?"

Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Xiao Dong laughed more and more at Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi for their mediocre qualifications and ignorance, they were just two businessmen with bad money.He only heard him sneer, and said in his mouth: "This is a treasure handed down from the treasurer Yin's family. It is said that it was worn by Qin Shihuang's prime minister, Lu Buwei. I think that Lu Buwei was originally a big businessman in Zhao State, rich in the world. Later, he rescued Qin. The state sent the son of the King of Qin to Zhao as a hostage, and helped the son become the King of Qin. He himself became the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.

"This jade pendant was originally a treasure of the king of Chu. When Bian He got a piece of uncut jade in the mountains, he presented it to King Li of Chu and King Wu of Chu successively. However, because the jade craftsmen in the court did not know about treasures, they only said that the uncut jade was a stone. , Bian He wanted to use it to deceive the king of Chu and get a reward. King Li and King Wu of Chu were furious and punished Bian He with a prison sentence, and his two legs were crippled. Later, Bian He cried bitterly while holding this piece of uncut jade. At the foot of Jingshan Mountain, King Wen of Chu discovered the treasure and carved it into the world-famous Heshibi. It’s just that the world knows that the piece of uncut jade was carved into the Heshibi, but they don’t know that when the jade craftsman carved the uncut jade, The extra piece of jade was polished into a jade pendant, which was worn by the king of Chu. Later, Chu State was destroyed by Qin State, and the general of the Qin Army got this jade pendant. The general gave this jade pendant to him in order to curry favor with Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei is a wealthy businessman from generation to generation in the Lu family. Naturally, Lu Buwei is a person who knows the goods. The power was too great, and he was hated by Qin Shihuang. In the end, he committed suicide by drinking doves and ruined his reputation. It's just that Qin Shihuang thought that Lu Buwei had made great contributions in helping his father and son to ascend to the throne, and left him a whole body instead of ruining his body. , rewarded him with a coffin. When Lu Buwei was buried, this jade pendant followed him to the tomb."

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, held the jade pendant in front of his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "It's just that although Lu Buwei was buried lightly, there are many people who miss him. It was only three years after Lu Buwei died. In [-], someone robbed his tomb, and this jade pendant reappeared in the world. In order to get this jade pendant, countless people died in thousands of years. Later, the ancestors of shopkeeper Yin spent huge sums of money to buy this jade pendant It is regarded as a family heirloom. When it is passed on to shopkeeper Yin, he will cherish it very much. However, Lao Yin is too flamboyant, and even tied such treasures on the jade belt around his waist. Five or six years ago, I When I met Lao Yin for the first time, I once persuaded him not to show off like this. But Lao Yin said that he hired martial arts masters, all of whom are extraordinary in martial arts. Even if there is a young man who wants to make a jade pendant, he will never succeed. If the jade pendant What's the use of hiding it on the body, but walking at night in brocade clothes?

"Just now when I got to the bridge, I saw this jade pendant hanging on the waist of the man in Tsing Yi on the left. I immediately recognized it as belonging to Shopkeeper Yin. I think these two men in Tsing Yi either stole it from Shopkeeper Yin when he was not prepared. To get the jade pendant, it must have been forcibly snatched. I see that these two men have long swords hanging from their waists. They are people in the Jianghu. It is very likely that they would not steal. Most of them relied on their martial arts to capture or kill shopkeeper Yin. , took this jade pendant."

While talking, Xiao Dong kept turning the jade pendant in his hand, his face was full of complacency.Seeing his appearance, Zhang Shi thought to himself, this time he went to Fusang country, among the six shopkeepers, shopkeeper Hu was in charge, and the one who assisted shopkeeper Hu was shopkeeper Yin.Just now I heard from someone surnamed Xiao that he has been friends with shopkeeper Yin for five or six years.Whether it is from the point of view of love or from the point of view of justice, the shopkeeper Yin died, and the person surnamed Xiao should be anxious.But looking at his appearance, he is leisurely and leisurely, without any panic.This bastard is most likely to have his eyes on this jade pendant, and he hopes that shopkeeper Yin will be in bad luck so that he can keep the jade pendant for himself.This person is ruthless and extremely greedy, like a poisonous snake.Walking with him this time, you have to be very energetic, so as not to fall into his poisonous hands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi was full of joy, cupped his hands and said: "After listening to Master Xiao, the villain is really enlightened. Master Xiao's eyes are like torches, shining thousands of miles. The villain can follow the adults to do things. It is a blessing from the previous life. From now on, Master Xiao will If the villain goes east, the villain will never dare to go west. If the villain risked his life, he must follow Master Xiao's lead and try his best to serve the adults."

Hearing Zhang Shi's loyalty, Xiao Dong showed a smile, and said: "How can Xiao bear Zhang Yuanwai's hard work? As long as Yuanwai helps me with things, I will not treat Yuanwai badly. This business is worthwhile." After it is over, Guanbao Zhang will be a rich man envied by everyone."

Zhang Shi thanked him again and again, seeing Xiao Dong triumphantly put the jade pendant into his arms, he just pretended not to see it.He just thought to himself, the surname Xiao made it clear that he wanted to swallow this jade pendant, so he didn't hesitate to kill the two men in Tsing Yi, killing two survivors.Even if Lao Yin is not dead, he can still reason that the jade pendant was taken away by the man in Tsing Yi, and the jade pendant is his.He promised me all kinds of benefits just now, just to keep my mouth shut.Shopkeeper Yin has no friendship with Lao Tzu, and it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu who owns his treasure.
