Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 826
Daoshi Yalang took Yao Jingtai into the Youdao compound, walked into the house, came to Ling Zhengzheng, and whispered: "Master Ling, wake up, you are here for business again."

Lingzheng is really waiting for work in the knife market.

He opened his eyes and looked at Yao Jingtai. Although he had never seen this person before, he could tell from his figure and breath that he was a man of cultivation, and his cultivation was not low.

"Your guest, are you looking for me?" Ling Zheng stood up and smiled.

Yao Jingtai nodded: "Let's find a place and talk about business."

"Your room please." Lingzheng wanted to lead Yao Jingtai to the next room.

Yao Jingtai waved his hands and said, "This place is not good, I have to find another place."

Lingzheng smiled: "Master Ke, this is against the rules. I haven't settled the business yet, so I can't go with you."

This is the rule of You Dao. If the business has not been negotiated, You Dao doesn't know the origin of the other party, so you must not go out with the other party.

Yao Jingtai smiled and said, "If not, I'll give you some set money as a gesture of sincerity."

After finishing speaking, Yao Jingtai took out a silver coin and stuffed it into Ling Zhengze's hand.

This ingot of silver is 50 taels.

Lingzheng was stunned for a long time: "May I ask what kind of business it is?"

"The business of murder."

"Who are you going to kill?"

"This has to be explained in another place."

After paying the deposit, Lingzheng didn't show any pretense anymore, and followed Yao Jingtai into a mansion in the south of the city.

This house is magnificent, with three entrances vertically and horizontally, five courtyards, and more than 30 large and small houses.

The house was fully furnished, but there was no one there. Yao Jingtai invited Ling Zhengze to the main hall, made a pot of tea, and sat down to talk.

Lingzheng clasped his fists and said, "It's all here, and I haven't asked the guest's name yet."

Yao Jingtai smiled and said, "You can't ask about this yet."

Lingzheng frowned and said, "This is something new, Mr. Ke, you don't even say your name, how can you do this business?"

Yao Jingtai said: "You don't need to know my first and last name, I will come here to see you after three days, whether the business is successful or not, this yard belongs to you."

Lingzheng looked around the house and said in astonishment, "Aren't you joking?"

Yao Jingtai shook his head and said, "If the business is completed, not only will this house belong to you, but also the 10 taels of silver in the house will belong to you."

Lingzheng was even more surprised: "Whose life is worth 10 taels of silver?"

Yao Jingtai took out a portrait and handed it to Ling Zhengze: "Do you recognize this person?"

Lingzheng looked at the portrait, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

This is Xu Zhiqiong's portrait, but Lingzheng really doesn't recognize it.

When Xu Zhiqiong met him, he looked like a big man with a black beard, and his name at the time was Liu De'an.

Yao Jingtai said: "It's okay if you don't recognize him. This man is eight feet long and sometimes wears a mask."

Lingzheng raised his eyebrows: "If you don't mention your name, at least mention your characteristics."

"I can't tell you the characteristics. This person can disguise himself, and his appearance is ever-changing."

Lingzheng shook his head and said, "Then this business can't be done, and there is nowhere to find this person."

"There is a place to look for. I'll take you to a place. This person will definitely show up within three days. Just stay there and see him. Just take his head off."

Lingzheng thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of Taoism is that man?"

"Judge."

"How many grades of cultivation?"

"Above the fifth grade."

Lingzheng shook his head slightly: "A judge of the fifth grade, punishing the evil Changshi, this business is difficult to do."

Yao Jingtai picked up the teacup and took a sip: "If this business is easy to do, it still needs a hundred thousand silver?"

"One hundred thousand silver is good, but I don't have the ability to earn it."

Yao Jingtai put down his teacup and said, "If you think it's too little, the price can be negotiated again."

"It's not about the amount of money. I have never seen a judge since I grew up. There should be no judge in our Qiancheng country.

But I've heard that the fifth-rank judge is called Punishment Chief Shi, and killing Punishment Chief Shi is tantamount to offending the entire Punishment Division.

I don't know how many people there are in the Department of Punishment. If thousands of troops come to me for revenge, I won't spend my life on how much money I earn. "

Yao Jingtai asked: "Aside from money, what else do you want?"

Lingzheng smiled and said, "Look at what you said, I'm a knife maker, and I lick blood on the edge of the knife, isn't it just for the money? It's just that I really can't earn the money, so I'm leaving."

After speaking, Lingzheng put the ingot of silver on the table and turned to leave.

"Brother Ling, stay here, I still have some good things here." Yao Jingtai took out a bamboo book from his arms.

Seeing the style and material of the bamboo book, Lingzheng stopped in his tracks.

"This, do you want it?" Yao Jingtai shook the bamboo book and put it back in his arms.

Lingzheng looked at Yao Jingtai, with a cold light in his eyes, bursts of murderous aura permeated all around.

The captain of the black-clothed battalion had finally seen the world, Yao Jingtai showed no fear, and stretched out his hand, "Brother Ling, please sit down for a while."

Lingzheng returned to his seat.

This bamboo book is "Ancestor Nulu".

This bamboo book is very important to Lingzheng.

More importantly, why does this person know what Lingzheng wants.

Lingzheng became murderous, but Yao Jingtai remained calm. According to Hong Juncheng's instructions, he simply broke the words.

"Brother Ling, my master knows your identity. After being away from home for so many years, you must be very homesick.

Telling you this is just for the sake of two things, this deal is done, this bamboo book belongs to you, and you take the bamboo book home to deal with errands,
If you refuse to do this business, Brother Ling, please forgive me to persuade you bluntly, my master will not let you leave Qiancheng Kingdom alive. "

Lingzheng's cheeks twitched for a moment, and he squeezed out a smile: "When are we going to leave?"

"If Brother Ling doesn't mind, let's go now."

Yao Jingtai brought Ling Zhengzheng to the backyard. A yin and yang cultivator had already set up a magic circle, and the two of them used the magic circle to go to a house in Chiguan County, Lunzhou, three hundred miles south of Shenlin City, outside the county seat.

"Brother Ling, from now on, I have wronged you to stay here for three days, and within three days, if you see that person, take action immediately."

Lingzheng nodded, walked to the shade of a tree and sat silently for a while, disappearing.

Yao Jingtai left the vicinity of the mansion, and when night fell, he brought a few people to the gate of the mansion, lingered for a while, then turned and left.

Lingzheng, who was hiding in the dark, was quite puzzled. He didn't understand Yao Jingtai's intention.

Is this guy trying to startle the snake?
……

Xu Zhiqiong was studying eunuch skills with Chang Decai when he saw Zhang Shifeng came to see him out of breath, "Chang Shi, someone has arrived at Hong Huaheng's residence. If I admit my mistake, that person should be Yingying Wei in black."

When Zhang Shifeng was in the Shenji Division, he was interrogated by the black camp for a few days because of his ineffectiveness. He met Yao Jingtai.

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Did that person enter the door?"

Zhang Shifeng shook his head.

"Who else is guarding the mansion?"

"Chen Zhengming is still here."

"You stay in the evil punishment department, don't go out."

Xu Zhiqiong was worried that Zhang Shifeng had been exposed, so he went to the mansion alone to pick up Hong Huaheng.

Through the Chengfeng Building, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly stopped in front of the mansion.

He backed away abruptly, and slashed down on his cheek with a machete more than three feet long.

Thanks to Xu Zhiqiong's astuteness, otherwise this knife would have killed him.

Who is this?
So fast, yet so ruthless?

Then at night, Xu Zhiqiong saw Ling Zhengze.

How could it be him?
Xu Zhiqiong recognized Ling Zhengze, but Ling Zhengze failed to recognize Xu Zhiqiong. He had never seen Xu Zhiqiong's true face.

After one move failed, Ling Zheng then swept towards Xu Zhiqiong's face.

Xu Zhiqiong retreated while dodging, not in a hurry to make a move.

He is watching the situation.

Now he realizes a problem, he has been tricked.

Heiyiying discovered Hong Huaheng's residence, but he was not in a hurry to act. The purpose was to lure him into the bait. This was Hong Juncheng's trick.

How did Hong Juncheng know where Hong Huaheng lived?
The person who ambushed him was Ling Zhengzheng, which Xu Zhiqiong didn't expect.

Ling Zheng took refuge in Hong Juncheng?
Or in other words, he was Hong Juncheng's dark son in the knife market?
This is all possible, because with a regular spiritual cultivation, one should not be a swordsman.

What Xu Zhiqiong is most worried about is not Ling Zhengzheng's identity, but what he is most worried about now is how many people are around here.

If there is only one Lingzheng, Xu Zhiqiong intends to procrastinate, find an opportunity to call Lao Chang, repel Lingzheng, and take Hong Huaheng away.

But if there is more than Lingzheng here, and if Hong Juncheng follows, the first thing Xu Zhiqiong needs to consider is escape.

It is unlikely that Hong Juncheng will follow, he will not leave Shenlincheng easily.

Will there be others?

Apart from Ling Zhengzheng, there were only Chen Zhengming and Hong Huaheng's aura nearby. If there were other people, Xu Zhiqiong should have sensed it a long time ago.

This battle can be fought!

Xu Zhiqiong jumped behind him and jumped more than ten feet away.

Ling Zheng held the scimitar and immediately caught up.

Xu Zhiqiong flashed and jumped, only keeping a distance from Lingzheng, and never confronted him head-on.

Lingzheng chased while fighting, and chased for more than ten miles in a blink of an eye.

Hong Juncheng was watching the battle with his magical eyes.

Shenji couldn't catch up with Xu Zhiqiong, nor could he catch up with Ling Zhengze, he could only catch up with Hong Huaxiong.

Hong Huaxiong's perspective is within the courtyard, while Xu Zhiqiong and Ling Zheng have already run out of sight.

Hong Juncheng grabbed Fu Ji's hair and said, "Catch up with the two of them, hurry up!"

Fu Ji wanted to chase after him, but he was not Xu Zhiqiong. He didn't have stone eyes in his hands, so he could only expand his vision with his breath.

With his little cultivation, how could he keep up with the speed of Xu Zhiqiong and Ling Zhengzheng. In the blink of an eye, Fu Ji's energy was exhausted, and his eyes were blank.

Hong Juncheng was furious and kicked Fu Ji from upstairs to downstairs.

……

Xu Zhiqiong pulled the distance far enough, just as he was about to touch the slave ghost jade, a murderous aura rushed towards him like a sharp blade.

As expected of the third rank of Killing Dao, the two of them were more than thirty feet apart, yet Ling Zhengze's aura was able to fight over him.

Xu Zhiqiong dodged sideways, dodging the murderous aura, and a cut was made on his clothes.

Ling Zheng was about to pursue, and Xu Zhiqiong was also ready to counterattack.

Just as they were about to fight each other, Lingzheng suddenly took two steps back and withdrew his moves.

Something fell out of Xu Zhiqiong's body.

It's a latent mirror.

He stared at the mirror for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Where did this mirror come from?"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, then smiled and said, "A gift from a friend."

"That friend's surname is Wu?"

Xu Zhiqiong's face was calm, but his heart tightened.

Does this person recognize Wu Qianhu?
Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer, Lingzheng put down the scimitar and said, "What should I do? I promised him that I would never hurt the owner of this mirror.

But if I don't kill you, it's hard to say whether I can save my life. "

Xu Zhiqiong heard this, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's fight again."

Lingzheng hesitated for a moment, then put the scimitar back into the scabbard: "To be honest, I may not be able to kill you. Your cultivation level is comparable to mine, and you are still a seasoned veteran.

Forget it, let's take it as a friendship, if you meet Wu Bofeng in the future, and say that a friend with a machete misses him. "

Lingzheng turned and left, Xu Zhiqiong picked up the latent mirror and put it back under his clothes.

"Brother, since you are Wu Qianhu's friend, you are also my friend. I have a business here. I wonder if you would like to do it?"

Lingzheng turned his head, frowned and said: "It's really strange, why are there so many business visits today? Tell me what kind of business it is?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Business that allows you to do business."

Lingzheng smiled: "I have to use your head for a job, do you think it's appropriate?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "I think it's appropriate, isn't it just a human head, I'll give it to you."
