The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 28

As Li Dao said, he took out a booklet recording tasks from his sleeve, and continued: "Let me talk about today's task arrangement. I took five deals yesterday. The first deal was to kill people. Zhang San found it next door. His wife is doing business in Flower Street recently."

"There is a faint green on his forehead, he felt that this could not be tolerated, so he planned to kill his wife, hehe, to put it bluntly, he wanted his wife to die, and then swallowed the meat money his wife earned for more than a year... Twenty big boys, which one of you will go?"

Hong Qi hurriedly said: "This is suitable for me, I will come and go, I know Zhang San's wife, but it is only a second rank, it is nothing, I will return at noon."

Li Dao nodded, pointed to the record in the booklet, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. For the next task, Zhang San's wife plans to get rid of Zhang San, and the price is [-] yuan, which one of you will go?"

The three looked at each other again.

Baizhu said: "Boss, what's going on with this? Zhang San wants to kill his wife, and his wife wants to kill him. This... this... when they are all dead, who do we ask for money?"

Li Dao nodded, and said: "I have accepted the business from both sides, and they are all paid in full. Wouldn't it be good to kill both of them face to face? By the way, before they die, explain the truth to them , kill Zhang San, which one of you will go?"

Baizhu was a little uncomfortable, and shook her head slightly.

Liang Zhennan lazily stood up and said, "I'll go."

Li Dao hummed, waved his hand casually, and Hong Qi and the "Blind Swordsman" left.

"There are three more missions to come, two short-distance and one long-distance. They are, Liu Si borrowed [-] wen from Wang Qi in the town, and Liu Si does not plan to return it. Wang Qi wants to 'reason' with him."

"The remuneration... oh, this is the full amount of [-] Wen. Wang Qi is mainly for exporting his anger. As long as we can get back the fifty Wen from Liu Si, the money will all belong to us. You Qi, I San .”

"The second task is the request of the caravan. To destroy the group of horse bandits thirty miles to the west. The year is very generous. They are willing to pay 130 yuan."

"The reason why such a price was paid is mainly because the father of the young proprietor of the caravan was killed by the gang of horse thieves. The revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable. The leader of the horse bandit, Sanpin Shang, has 68 men under his command. Killed them all, do you think about it?"

"The last transaction is a long-distance journey to escort a caravan to Shishiji two hundred miles away. It costs three hundred dollars. It takes more than ten days to go back and forth. Think about it."

Baizhu thought for a while and said, "More than ten days is too long, I will choose the second one."

Li Dao hummed, and said simply: "I wish you success."

Baizhu nodded, and left with the sword in her arms.

Li Dao put away the booklet and was about to go back to the house when he heard a voice from outside the gate.

"Is this the residence of Mr. Haoran, the owner of the White Camel Villa? This is Chen Qingshu of the 'Wandaomen'. I have something special to visit."

Li Dao, who was about to return to the house, stopped, turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s and wearing a gray cotton robe standing outside the fence gate, looking at him with a smile.

Wandaomen?I remember when I was in Xiangwangjian, because of that Jiang Feng, I killed many of them. Why, after such a long time, they sent someone again?

Li Dao cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "This is Li Haoran, Your Excellency, please come in."

The middle-aged man named Chen Qingshu was also polite, and walked into the yard after returning the courtesy slightly.

Li Dao stretched out his hand to ask: "I don't know what your Excellency came to find Li, what is the so-called?"

After the two sat down separately, Chen Qingshu did not hide anything, and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. Haoran, I just came to this Juansha town. I heard that Mr. Haoran has a geographical map of 'Xiangwangjian' here, so I came here to buy it."

Li Dao nodded: "Please wait a moment."

While speaking, he stood up and returned to the house, and came out with a map after a while: "That's it, do you want to buy it? Chenghui, a hundred bucks."

Without saying a word, Chen Qingshu took out a money bag from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "One hundred coins, sir, please count them face to face."

Then he took the map and opened it to take a closer look.

Li Dao carefully counted the money in the bag, and found that there were twelve coins more, but he pretended that there was no such thing, and said with a smile: "The money and the goods are cleared. If you have nothing else to do, then I will forgive you." delivered."

Chen Qingshu put away the picture and said: "Mr. Lao Haoran is here, I have one more question to ask."

Li Dao hummed: "Please tell me."

Chen Qingshu said: "I would like to ask, how did you get such a detailed geographic map? You know, 'Xiangwangjian' is no different than other places. There are fierce beasts rampant there, and ordinary people can enter."

Li Dao frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "You suspect that my picture is fake?"

Chen Qingshu quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't you dare, I'm just purely curious."

Li Daopi hummed twice with a smile, and said: "I have my own way, don't bother your Excellency, have you never heard of it, can curiosity kill people?"

Chen Qingshu patted his head in a daze, and said with a dry smile: "I'm messing with Menglang. I really shouldn't inquire about Mr.'s secrets, but it's a big taboo."

"It's just... well, I don't want to hide it from you sir, more than a year ago, a hall master and dozens of disciples went down to the 'Xiangwangjian' and never came up again, so the sect leader came here to investigate this matter."

Li Dao chuckled lightly and said, "It's normal that they didn't come up. If you don't know the road map in places like Wangwangjian, you don't know if you are eaten by fierce beasts."

Chen Qingshu took out another bag of money from his bosom, and said with a smile: "But some disciples from our sect who didn't go down came back and said that they went down once earlier and came up safely."

"The reason for this involves the secrecy of our sect. It is inconvenient to explain it to my husband. I just want to tell my husband that there will be no news from those who continue after that."

"When I asked about the origin of this picture, sir, I also wanted to find out why and where the disciples of our sect disappeared. Although we know that they must be in danger, this investigation is better than nothing."

Li Dao took the purse with a smile, weighed it, and said to himself, do you want to find out whether those people died of man-made disasters or animal disasters, so as to determine where Jiang Feng's "good fortune" went.

And I, who sells pictures, are very suspicious. With such a detailed map, does that mean that I was probably in Xiangwangjian at that time, and the death of the Wandaomen disciple was related to me, and the "good luck" was on me?
Even if I take a step back, even if I was not in Xiangwangjian at that time, the person who gave me the map must be closely related to it.

Congratulations, you basically guessed it right...but it's not the same.

"To tell you the truth, this picture was drawn by myself."
