Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 116 The Jade Butterfly Appears (Seeking Order)

There was a stack of silver bills on the table, all of them were from Shengyuan Bank, the largest bank in the county, and they could be exchanged at any time, and they were real hard currency.

In addition, there are a few golden tickets, which are the rewards for eliminating the bandits this time, especially when Kong Zuo heard that these bandits were planning to attack his family.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya took action to destroy them in time, and his family survived the disaster, so he paid Zhao Ya out of his own pocket and gave Zhao Ya an extra reward as a show of gratitude out of fear.

This is all of Zhao Ya's net worth.

The silver taels brought from the Elephant Dance City had already been exhausted, and these were all Zhao Ya's hard earned money during this period of time.

Although there are not many, at least it solves the urgent need.

In addition, Zhao Ya also found some bits and pieces of silver taels from the bandits, but the total amount was only more than 100 taels.

This is not surprising, for these bandits who are begging for a living on the tip of a knife, they don't know if they can see the sun tomorrow, so when they have money, they will squander it and don't save it at all.

"call!"

Zhao Ya heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and thought silently in his heart.

Silver is 710 taels, and gold is 84 taels.

If you buy the jerky meat of different beasts in the market with this money, you can probably buy more than 30 taels of dried blood eel with golden spots.

Dried golden-spotted black eel is the dried meat of different animals that Zhao Ya selected after researching for half a day according to his own situation.

Although it is not as powerful as the seven-star blood eel dry provided by Dingtai Martial Arts, it is better than the price, and you only need five taels of gold to buy one tael.

Although this price still made Zhao Ya feel heartbroken, there was no way around it. High-grade jerky alien meat was a hard currency no matter where it went, and it was a pure seller's market. If you wanted it, you had to obediently pay for it.

And this is not bad, for example, the seven-star blood eel meat provided by Dingtai Martial Arts Academy is generally only provided to some big forces, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to spend money.

Zhao Ya set aside the money to buy jerky tomorrow, and then carried the remaining dozens of taels of silver bills on his body.

"Is it packed?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Right away!" Drunk'er's voice came from the next bedroom.

Zhao Ya didn't urge him any more.

Tonight he is going to invite three seniors and Meng Shiwen to dinner.

This is also something that Zhao Ya has long wanted to do.

After all, after several months of getting started, Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng and the others often invited him, but he didn't even reply once.

This is somewhat unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason.

Now that the Xiushuifang business has been dealt with, although the money earned is not much, it is still enough to buy a meal.

So Zhao Ya reserved a table at Feixianju in the afternoon.

At this time, Zui'er had also packed up, walked out of the bedroom and said to Zhao Ya, "Let's go, Brother Xiaoya!"

It is said to clean up, but it is actually changed clothes and combed hair.

But Zui'er was born beautiful, so even without makeup, she was still beautiful and refined.

Even Zhao Ya couldn't help but take a second look.

Zui'er was a little puzzled, "What's wrong, brother Xiaoya? Is there something on my face?"

"No, I just think it looks good!" Zhao Ya replied honestly.

Zui'er was taken aback for a moment, then his face flushed visible to the naked eye, but his eyes were full of joy.

May I ask which girl doesn't want to hear compliments from the person she likes.

Just as Zhao Ya was about to go out with Zui'er, Miao Shaocheng came.

"Hahaha I heard that Junior Brother is going to have a treat tonight, but I didn't even eat lunch, so I'm just waiting for dinner tonight." Miao Shaocheng laughed.

Then he saw Zui'er who was following Zhao Ya, and couldn't help praising: "Miss Zui'er is so beautiful today!"

Zui'er lowered her head shyly, without saying a word.

"Where is Senior Brother Xu?" Zhao Ya asked.

"His family went back a little earlier. Before he left, he told me that he would go directly to Feixianju later, and there was no need to wait for him."

"Well, let's go then."

Just about to leave for Feixianju, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared.

I saw Meng Shiwen wearing an elegant white dress, walking towards her slowly.

"Big... elder sister?" Miao Shaocheng was extremely surprised.

Meng Shiwen paused for a moment, then said to Zhao Ya, "Are you going to Feixianju?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

Unknowingly, Meng Shiwen and Zui'er walked in front, and the two seemed to be chatting well, at least Meng Shiwen had a smile on her face from time to time.

Miao Shaocheng slowed down, approached Zhao Ya and asked, "When did you invite Senior Sister?"

"I just invited you along with me when I invited you!"

"She didn't say anything?"

"No, just nodded."

"Hiss!" Miao Shaocheng patted Zhao Ya's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"To be honest, the senior sister really gave you enough face today. Do you know how many people wanted to invite the senior sister to dinner before, and she never pretended to be polite?"

Zhao Ya didn't think about this either.

To be honest, he didn't intend to invite Meng Shiwen.

But after thinking about it, I should mention it.

After all, they are in the same school, even if she has prejudices against her, at least she can live with her face.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shiwen agreed very readily.

Now listening to Miao Shaocheng, it seems that this kind of situation is rare?
At this time, the group came to Feixianju, which was still the private room by the window on the third floor.

And not long after they arrived, Xu De also came.

Seeing Meng Shiwen was there, Xu De also showed a look of surprise on his face, but he hurriedly saluted.

"Sister!"

"Well, Shen Dao hasn't come yet?" Meng Shiwen asked.

"Second senior brother should be here soon."

While speaking, a hearty laughter came from outside the door, "Senior Sister is here today, what a surprise."

Following the words, Shen Dao walked into the private room, still looking free and unrestrained.

Meng Shiwen didn't speak, but just nodded, as a greeting.

When all the people arrived, the wine and dishes were presented like flowing water.

Although at the beginning because of Meng Shiwen's presence, everyone was a little restrained and could not let go.

But after a few glasses of wine, people saw that although Meng Shiwen was still cold, she didn't say anything, and even had a good chat with the drunk beside her, so they let go.

At this moment, Miao Shaocheng smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother, why didn't I see you leading Master Shi here today?"

Shen Dao smiled, "She was delayed by something today, but she should come later."

"Seriously, second senior brother, you have been messing around with Master Shi all day long, so doesn't the owner of the Drunken Flower Workshop have any objections?" Xu De asked.

"Of course I have opinions, but I have to hold back my opinions. Who made Miss Qingqing her cash cow now?"

Shi Qingqing is the biggest oiran in Zuihuafang, and many rich and powerful people spare no expense to see each other.

In this way, Shi Qingqing's position in Zuihuafang is very detached.

Even Fangzhu dare not offend.

"Oh, but the more this happens, the more difficult it is for you and Master Shi to be together!" Xu De sighed.

Such a cash cow, the owner of Zuihuafang will naturally not let go easily.

This is also the reason why Shen Dao has been with him for so long, but he still failed to redeem him.

"That's all right, all right, let's not talk about this, the younger brother treats guests today, let's have some fun." Miao Shaocheng hurriedly smoothed things over.

Xu De also consciously made a slip of the tongue, and quickly raised his glass to liven up the atmosphere.

But at this moment, there was a sound of panicked footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the private room was directly knocked open.

The person who came was actually a little maid.

As soon as she saw Shen Dao sitting in the room, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Shen, hurry up, something happened to Miss!"

Hearing this, Shen Dao suddenly stood up, his always smiling expression became extremely stern and stern at this moment.

"where?"

"Aunt Xue's house in Yongle Square!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Dao pushed the window and flew out.

At this moment, everyone in the room reacted.

Miao Shaocheng recognized that this little maid was Xi'er next to Shi Qingqing, and quickly asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with Master Shi?"

"Xue... Aunt Xue's family is dead!" Xi'er seemed to have been frightened by something, and she just muttered incoherently in the face of Miao Shaocheng's question.

When everyone saw this scene, they naturally couldn't finish the wine.

"Let's go and have a look too, what if something happens to Second Senior Brother?" Xu De said.

Although Shen Dao's strength can be regarded as the strongest among the five, but two fists are no match for four hands, what if there are too many people facing each other?
So Zhao Ya left the meal money and asked Meng Shiwen to take care of Gu Zui'er and the maid Xi'er, and then followed Miao Shaocheng and Xu De to Yongle Fang.

Yonglefang is not too close to Feixianju, but all three of them have kung fu, and with all their efforts, they arrived within just a cup of tea.

Xu De had followed Shen Dao and Shi Qingqing to Aunt Xue's house, so he knew the way.

He led Zhao Ya and Miao Shaocheng to a house in Yongle Fang soon.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and there was a faint cry of a woman coming from inside.

The three of them looked at each other, all getting ready, and then stepped into it.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhao Ya frowned.

Because he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De naturally also smelled it, and their expressions all changed.

After rushing to the main room, he saw Shen Dao standing in the room with a livid face, and Shi Qingqing was sitting beside him.

At this time, Master Shi, who is famous for being bright and charming, is holding a dead body in his arms and crying non-stop.

Seeing this corpse, not only Zhao Ya, but also Miao Shaocheng and Xu De couldn't help frowning.

Because this is a naked female corpse, and the death condition is extremely tragic, with knife marks of different shades all over the body.

Xu De recognized the female corpse, it was that Aunt Xue.

You must know that Aunt Xue is just a nickname, but she is actually only about thirty years old.

She was also a girl from Zuihuafang at the beginning, but as she got older and earned enough money to redeem herself, she redeemed herself and moved to live in Yonglefang.

When she was in Zuihuafang, Aunt Xue had the best relationship with Shi Qingqing.

Especially because Shi Qing was still young at that time, and Aunt Xue helped her get ahead of many things.

So when she redeemed herself and moved to Yongle Fang, Shi Qingqing still often came to see her.

Unexpectedly, this Aunt Xue died tragically at home today, and it can be seen that she had suffered extremely cruel abuse before she was born.

"Second senior brother, what's going on?" Miao Shaocheng asked.

Shen Dao didn't say a word, but stretched out his hand silently, and in the palm of his hand was a butterfly made of jade.

"Jade butterfly!"

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

Shen Dao nodded, "That's right, it's Jade Butterfly."

Then after Shen Dao's narration, the three of them knew what was going on.

It turns out that today is Aunt Xue's birthday, that's why Shi Qingqing didn't follow Shen Dao to the banquet.

She prepared presents and brought her maid to Aunt Xue's house, but no matter how she called, the door couldn't be opened.

At that time, Shi Qingqing had a premonition that something was wrong, so she simply asked the servant girl Xi'er to bring a ladder, and after climbing the wall, she opened the courtyard door from the inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Shi Qingqing almost collapsed at the tragic scene in front of him.

Aunt Xue, who had no relationship with her, died tragically in the living room.

In the next room, including the old lady who was sweeping the courtyard, all seven members of Aunt Xue's family were killed.

Such tragedies made Shi Qingqing extremely sad, but it was rare for her to maintain a trace of sobriety, so she ordered her maid, Xi'er, to go to Feixianju to find Shen Dao.

As for why not go to the government first...

If you count on the group of fast masters to come over, it must be dawn.

When Shen Dao arrived, he was also shocked by this scene, but he quickly calmed down, inspected the scene carefully, and then found the jade butterfly.

Now the situation is clear, it is obvious that Jade Butterfly, who has been silent for more than two years, made another attack and killed Aunt Xue's family.

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

Miao Shaocheng was even more angry and cursed.

"Damn it, this son of a bitch Jade Butterfly is really insane. He rapes first and then kills. He tortures people like this. Don't let me catch him. After I catch him, I will definitely peel off his skin."

"There are many people who want to skin him, but the key point is that no one knows who this jade butterfly is." Xu De said helplessly.

Zhao Ya didn't speak.

At this time, he was carefully examining the scene.

According to what Shi Qingqing said, the courtyard door was locked when they came, so it can be seen that the jade butterfly must have flown into the house.

This is not surprising, so many major crimes can be done, and several of them were committed in the heavily guarded deep house compound, which shows that the jade butterfly's light work is quite good.

The key is the doors and windows inside.

Zhao Ya observed carefully, and finally found traces of picking a lock on a window.

The interior of this kind of window is fixed with bolts. At this time, the inner bolts have been broken, but the outside wood has no signs of damage.

Zhao Ya frowned.

This kind of method, which is similar to fighting cattle across mountains, is a brilliant technique of using power.

And to be able to do this, the strength of this jade butterfly is by no means ordinary.

It can now be concluded that he came in through this window.

It just so happened that the county had just rained in the past two days.

So Zhao Ya searched for clues very carefully.

Seeing Zhao Ya looking for something on the ground without saying a word, Miao Shaocheng just wanted to come over.

Zhao Ya suddenly said: "Don't come here."

Miao Shaocheng stopped in embarrassment.

The footprints on the ground were very messy, but Aunt Xue's family was all women, and it was Shi Qingqing who was found on the scene at the first time, which gave Zhao Ya a lot of convenience.

As long as the footprints of those women are excluded, the rest will be suspicious.

really.

After searching for a long time, Zhao Ya finally found a suspicious footprint in the corner of the wall.

The footprints were filled with fresh soil, apparently only appeared in these two days.

But the most important thing is not this, Zhao Ya found that the pair of footprints were one deep and one shallow, which was very weird.

Could it be….

Zhao Ya's heart skipped a beat, could it be that this Jade Butterfly who committed countless serious crimes is actually a cripple?
