"A reward of one thousand taels of silver?" Shen Ji frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Why is the dowry so precious?"

"I don't know." Wen Mo shook his head, with a confused look on his face, "Maybe it's because her parents passed away, and Mrs. Hou cherished the box of dowry especially after seeing things and missing people."

"Anyway, everything in Beijing is going crazy right now. From young children who have just learned to walk to old men with trembling crutches, they are all looking for dowries for Mrs. Hou, and they are eager to get a piece of the pie."

"Why don't you, sir, join in the fun?" Wen Mo raised his eyebrows at him, seeming to joke, "If sir, you can solve Madam Hou's urgent need, Madam Hou will definitely take a high look at you."

Shen Ji looked at him and smiled for a while, "You must care about me and think about me in everything. It is really a blessing for me to have someone like you by my side."

Wen Mo was stunned, then smiled shyly, scratched his head in flattery, and said in a low voice, "This is the first time Mr. has praised me so much, which makes me feel quite embarrassed."

Shen Ji curled his lips and looked at him with a gentle look that Wen Mo had never seen before. He just heard him softly say, "Let me ask you, does your husband know martial arts?"

The smile on Wen Mo's lips froze and he murmured, "No...it won't..."

"Oh, no." Shen Ji was still smiling one moment, but his face turned cold the next second, "Then what should I do? Thousands of miles away to kill someone!"

Shen Ji roared and trembled three times when he heard the ink.

"Sir..." Wen Mo was about to cry and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "I have no bad intentions, I just want you to make a mark in front of Mrs. Hou..."

Shen Ji sneered and gritted his teeth and said, "Those bandits can kill half of the people in the Marquis. If you ask me to fight against them, I'm afraid my wife will have to collect the corpses for me before I can do anything!"

Wen Mo pursed his lips, hid away and faced the wall to reflect.

Shen Ji thought for a moment and then relaxed, "Go and tell the people in charge to search for the whereabouts of the dowry."

"Yes, little one, let's go right now!" Wen Mo nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran away.

It was night, the early spring was still a bit cool, the yard was silent, and the ground dragon was burning in the house, which was very warm.

Fang Xu was wearing thin clothes and was sitting on the couch reading a storybook. There were a lot of fruits and snacks on the small table beside the bed.

"Madam, a letter came from the palace, saying that the marriage between the Emperor and the Prime Minister's daughter is scheduled for next month."

Su Zi sat at her feet, embroidering a handkerchief under the candlelight, and said softly, "King Runan will never be able to turn over in this life, but his family has had a good time. The emperor and empress got married, and the emperor ordered a general amnesty for the world. , maybe they can avoid jail time.”

Fang Xu pinched a piece of snack and put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, and then said in a low voice, "Good people are not rewarded, and the harm will last for thousands of years. Those scum are wandering around the capital, and they are an eyesore."

After saying this, he casually stuffed the remaining half of the pastry into Su Zi's mouth.

Su Zi paused and said vaguely, "Madam, what you mean is..."

Fang Xu moved his eyes away from the storybook and stared at her quietly.

Su Zi still didn't understand anything, so he immediately responded, "I understand, I will go find Bai Ji later."

Fang Xu responded to her with a nasal voice and murmured, "Do it more cleanly. After all, there are a few lives. It would be troublesome if it were traced to me."

Seeing his wife's careless look, Su Zi swallowed her saliva and felt a sigh of relief in her heart.

Who would have thought that a year ago, Madam would even turn her head away when she saw a cockfight, but now she could decide whether to take or leave several lives by opening her mouth or shutting her mouth.

The transformation is so big that it really feels like a dream.

"Ms. Fang, come out and die!" A female voice sounded in the courtyard. Fang Xu's eyes darkened, he slowly raised his head, and looked at the woman through the gap in the window.

"It's the killer named Jin Hua!" Su Zi panicked, fell to the ground, stood up and stood in front of Fang Xu.

Jin Hua's face was full of anger, and the hand holding the sword was shaking with so much strength, she walked slowly to the door, with a murderous look, "Ms. Fang, you are despicable. You clearly gave me the box with your own hands, but you bit me back." One bite!”

Fang Xu felt uncomfortable seeing her, pursed his lips and smiled, "Jin Hua, we meet again."

"Stop pretending here!" Jin Hua's eyes turned red with anger. It was obviously the first time she had met such a person. "Chun Jiang carried out your order and killed me until I was the only one left. As the beneficiary, you will not say thank you." That’s all, you still want to plot against me?”

"If I had known this, I should have killed you with one blow today!"

Fang Xu curled his lips and said slowly, "It's just a small matter, why do you need to get so angry?"

"A trivial matter?" Jin Hua sneered, holding the sword hilt a little tighter, "Do you know how many people were chasing me today? You went to the government to hang up a wanted portrait, and you issued a reward, and now you are still You want to ask me hypocritically why I am so angry?"

"Chunjiang Tour has lost so many masters, this money is clearly what you should give me!" Jin Hua's body was trembling, and her words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "You are unkind and unjust, and you are so cruel!"

Fang Xu leaned on the soft pillow, smiled softly, and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment. It's very helpful to me."

"You!" Jin Hua's icy face gradually shattered, and her eyes were stained with hatred, "You are simply not human!"

Fang Xu closed the script and looked at her with interest, "I have never said that I am a good person, and your Chunjiang business has a reputation for being poisonous. It seems that the buyers are quite wealthy, and there are many people who kill people to get money."

"It's just each other. Miss Jinhua yelled at me, so how could she not be slapping herself in the face?"

Fang Xu chuckled, his expression indifferent, "Ask yourself, if Chunjiangxing hadn't been wiped out by the entire army and you were the only one left, would you have let me go?"

Jin Hua's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about with your empty teeth!"

"The Feng family of the Sui Dynasty, Qi Shun, the governor of Changping, and the family of Wei Guogong..."

Fang Xu counted in detail, and the more he went on, the uglier his face became.

"Miss Jin Hua, are these people familiar to you?" Fang Xu looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Did I miss anyone?"

Jin Hua couldn't bear it any longer, and pointed the long sword directly at Fang Xu's eyebrows, "You are talking nonsense, don't make excuses for yourself anymore, today I will do justice for heaven, except for you, a poisonous woman, to comfort the spirit of the master's sect in heaven!"

After saying this, Jin Hua rushed into the house. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, an iron plate hung from the beam, and the plate was full of spikes.

Jin Hua's face turned pale, and she dodged sideways, causing the iron barb board to hit the ground.

Before she could stand still, several more cold arrows were fired at her.

Jin Hua moved very quickly, dodged to avoid those arrows, and managed to stand firm.

The arrow pierced the door frame. Jin Hua turned around suddenly and looked at Fang Xu, her eyes full of sarcasm, and she curled her lips and sneered, "Is this the mechanism you racked your brains to come up with?"

"It's ridiculous!"
