Dark Fairy

Chapter 184
When Ma Liu returned home, he didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and walked around the room restlessly, ignoring everyone.It's impossible for him to swim in the dirtiest activity in Yongchuan City without a brain for so many years.So something came out of his mind.

Different people have different ways of dealing with people from the city lord's mansion, people from the yamen, merchants, third-rate people, and people from the knife shop.More taboo and vigilance.

The feeling that Bailang gave Ma Liu tonight already made him feel that something was wrong.Especially when Bailang hinted that he was going to find Yakou's person, and then asked him to choose whether to kill people or not, Ma Liu's heart felt as if he had been poured into a basin of ice water, and his heart was so cold.

At first glance, it doesn't seem strange that the dealer who kills the teeth cuts off the clues.After all, the people in the sword hall can't stand firmly if they don't use ruthless means.

But Ma Liu thought further, can the person who killed Yakou be punished once and for all?Can't!Because Yakou also has accounts, what if the other party checks Yakou’s accounts again?In this way, killing someone will not solve the problem.

Can you really get by by pretending to be stupid?Ma Liu didn't believe it.

So what should we do?A frightening thought came to Ma Liu's mind: kill me? !
Ma Liu thinks differently. He feels that if he is Bailang, the secret will be discovered in an unavoidable situation, and the safest way is to cut off the clues that may be connected to him.And he, Ma Liu, is the only clue that can let Bailang reveal it. If he is killed, no one will know about Bailang's role in the incident.

After thinking about this, Ma Liu was so frightened that his heart trembled.

bet?Ma Liu usually doesn't even gamble with money, so you let him gamble his life here?Certainly not.

"If Bailang wants to kill me, he won't do it right away, otherwise he won't be able to get rid of his responsibility if I go to him and die immediately when I come back. But people will definitely follow me. So...you have to deal with it early!"

How to deal with it?This is where Ma Liu really finds it difficult.Just like what Bailang said before, this matter is no longer something that Ma Liu dares to expose. Even if he is only implicated, it may kill him.Otherwise, he wouldn't have consciously helped Bailang as a cover back then.It never occurred to me that I still haven't escaped now.

Therefore, it is impossible to protect yourself by flipping the table. Ma Liu doesn't care whether Bailang dies or not. What he cares about is that he cannot die.

After thinking about it, Ma Liu found that there is a road ahead of him, and he can't hesitate too much, otherwise this road may be lost.

That is to run!

Running all night and night!Leave Yongchuan City!
This choice is difficult for Maliu.Because he did well in Yongchuan City.Once he runs away like this, it means that everything he has achieved in the past ten years will be wiped out, and he may even live a wandering life in the future, and even wander for a long time.

But looking at it from another perspective, Ma Liu felt that this choice was not too difficult.After all, he is alone, without the ties of a family, and he can run away with a simple tidying up.

It’s just such a shame!How much can you take away alone?

Gritting his teeth, Ma Liu watched the sky outside getting darker and darker, knowing that he could no longer hesitate.He went back indoors and dug out his belongings. Except for some necessary silver and copper loose coins, the rest were filled with gold pieces.He even went to the side courtyard and changed into a set of clothes worn by the people in the house.

After that, Ma Liu went out from the back door in the dark, chose to take a detour to the west gate to exit the city, and then went north on Guandao.I can't go to the south now. After all, the Pengshanguan military incident that has been rumored is in the south. If you are not lucky on the road, you will be forced to fight.Go north, go to the capital!

At dawn the next day, Bai Lang heard the news from Zhang Wu.

"Ma Liu is gone?"

Zhang Wu lowered his head, he didn't dare to straighten his waist, he almost fell to his knees.Last night, he swore to say the same thing.As a result, the people disappeared at dawn.

"The servants of Maliu's mansion said that they seemed to hear a noise at the back door in the middle of the night yesterday, and went out to see that the back door was indeed opened from the inside. It was only after dawn that they found out that Ma Liu was missing.

Lord Bai, this subordinate is negligent, please punish him."

"Okay! Now, immediately search Ma Liu's house for me on the grounds that Ma Liu owes water money. Don't touch the money, and look for suspicious letters and the like. Don't mess it up this time!"

"My subordinate understands!"

So the Maliu Mansion, which had become like a headless fly because of the loss of the main house, had no intention of parrying the people in the knife shop, and let the vicious Zhang Wu lead more than ten people in and out of the Maliu Mansion. I searched it three times.In the end nothing was found.At least there is nothing "suspicious" about the house of a gangster and pimp in Zhang Wu's eyes, let alone anything related to the knife shop or Bailang.

"My subordinates searched inside and out several times and found nothing suspicious."

Bai Lang frowned and remained silent.

Zhang Wu tentatively asked, "Master Bai, do you want the brothers to look around?"

"No need. People left in the middle of the night yesterday. What can you find now? You have already gone far away. But you continue to keep an eye on Maliu's mansion, including those bastards at the core of Maliu. If something happens If someone touches them or if there is any special behavior, you will tell me immediately."

"Okay Baiye!"

When Zhang Wu left, Bailang leaned back in his chair with a gloomy and somewhat relieved expression on his face.Ma Liu is not a good person, but he is kind to Bailang.Now that he is running away, besides being smart enough, it also gives Bailang another choice, so he doesn't have to worry about killing people and making moral choices anymore.

This is also an unexpected result.As for whether Ma Liu can hide in the end.Or this matter will not develop in the direction of the worst guess at all, Bailang can't know the result right now.

However, one wave after another broke out. Bailang had just put away his complicated mood after Ma Liu ran away in the morning, but at noon, other troubles came to his door.

"Master Chen, if you need anything to call me over, why do you need to come here?" What Bailang cares most about right now is this Master Chen and Chen Zhiyun in front of him.The attitude of the other party represents the attitude of Tang Yan, the saber, and can then judge whether his previous guesses are correct.

"Mr. Bai is busy with his affairs and Chen is free. Naturally, he will not let Mr. Bai make a trip."

"Haha, Mr. Chen is joking. You are the right-hand man of the sword, so you have no time to shoulder the heavy responsibility? I wonder what Mr. Chen has ordered here?"

"Without him, I want to see how far Mr. Bai has practiced Soul Refining and Soul Refining."

Bailang thought to himself, "It's really here."He pretended to be reluctant and said: "Mr. Chen, I just started practicing, and it's hard to tell how far I have reached. Please, please."

"No need, Master Bai can just put his hand on this thing." Chen Zhiyun said as he took out a palm-sized copper plate and placed it in front of Bai Lang.
