Yu Nu nodded and apologized: "Sorry, I have to further examine your ability to see how high your real strength is, so as to decide whether to let you accept the current task. You really did not disappoint me."

"You are wrong!" Toda-san said, "I will let you down, because, from this moment on, I withdraw from you!"

"Ah?" Yu Nu whispered, "You want to quit us?"

"You heard me right!—you won't stop it?"

"Of course not, as I said..." Yu Nu smiled bitterly, "Aren't you going to accept the task of gold coins?"

"I didn't intend to pick it up!" Toda said, "I just want to know what kind of person is the one who wants to kill me, and now I have roughly guessed what kind of person it is."

"Then do you accept this mission?"

"No answer!"

"why?"

"I don't want to be used as a weapon by you, and I don't want to be tricked by you anymore. Otherwise, I won't know how I died, just like today! Farewell!" After finishing speaking, Toda-san turned around and left.

"You can't kill him without us!"

"With you, I would die faster!" Toda Shantou did not return, and drifted away.

The jade girl stared at him blankly, as if looking at an unfathomable misty cloud.

the next morning.

Toda-san got up, washed up, called the master over, and asked, "After the new year is over, it's time for spring plowing. In previous years, when we did spring plowing in Dongcheng, did the common people encounter any difficulties?"

"Of course I have, and there are many difficulties." The master said, "The biggest difficulty is farming cattle. Our people are very poor. Only a few large households in a village have cattle, and other villagers cannot afford them."

"Then what about farming every year?"

"The common people help each other, holding hands and shoulders."

"Then I'm afraid it won't work well?"

"It's not just that the effect is not good, because the strength of a human is far inferior to that of a cow, so the speed is much slower and tiring. Many farmers can't plow the land."

"What should I do?"

"It can only be slashed and burned."

"Slash-and-burn farming?!" Although Toda-san is not familiar with farming, he also knows that this is the most primitive and backward farming method, which is to make a hole in the ground, put the seeds in, and then leave it alone. What is it like.

Toda-san thought for a while and asked, "How much does a farm ox cost?"

"The price is different at different times. Now it's spring plowing, and the price is the highest. After spring plowing, the price will drop."

"How much is a cow now?"

"General cattle should be around five gold coins."

Ten guan in the game means [-] copper coins, equal to ten silver coins and one gold coin.

Toda-san asked again: "Is the granary in our yamen enough to adjust the grain every year?"

"Where is it enough?" The master said, "According to the regulations, it is said that each county is [-] shi. This number is full, and it is not enough for the people to eat. What's more, the grain in the warehouse has never been full. It's only half of the time."

"Oh! There are too many things to do." Toda-san said.

After the master and the others left, the Jiumen Duwei Yamen sent Zaoli to come, and with the Duwei's greeting card, he invited Hu Tianshan to the Yamen for a banquet.Toda-san was a little strange, having just eaten yesterday.Why do you want to eat again today?So he took Momoe Yamaguchi and others to the Yamen.

Liu Juan naturally followed behind. The sheep hadn't appeared yet, so Liu Juan couldn't do anything.

This time, it was a private banquet set up by the captain, and Toda-san was the only one.In addition, Momoe Yamaguchi, please participate.

After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Toda Shan saw that the captain seemed to be hesitating about something, which was a little strange.But he didn't ask, just bowed his head to eat and drink.

Finally, Du Wei said: "My lord, there is one thing that I have to say."

"My lord, please tell me." Toda-san cupped his hands and said.

"That's right," the captain glanced at him.Look at Baihui Yamaguchi again, "There is an urgent document from the capital, saying that there is an urgent official business, and the two sisters Momoe Yamaguchi and other police officers need to be transferred back to the capital to handle it. So..., huh, your security and defense can only be done. Leave it to your yamen police to bear it quickly."

Toda-san was a little stunned, wondering if Momoe Yamaguchi was sent by the empress to protect her?Why did Kyoto also transfer them back?Obviously, this official document is a cover, and the real reason is definitely not the case.However, it was not easy to say this to the captain, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's what it should be. Originally, a low-ranking captain would not dare to work as a guard for the imperial palace in the capital. It is the grace of the national teacher that allows the humble officials to enjoy such honors, and it is only natural that they are recalled now, and the humble officials obey the arrangements of the adults, there is no other way."

A smile appeared on the captain's face, he twirled his beard and nodded, and said: "In that case, let them return today. The chief catcher and others you left in the yamen, the government also ordered them to go directly to the capital to return to their orders. Okay. Come with the policeman to follow, there are also policemen in Dongcheng, you can make arrangements according to your needs."

Early the next morning, Toda-san and his wife got up together and went to the kitchen to boil water and wash their faces.Prepare breakfast.The woman was busy on the stove, and Toda-san stood at the door watching, while vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding situation.

At this moment, Toda-san heard a few slight sounds, as if something fell to the ground, he immediately hugged the woman, put her behind the water tank, and whispered: "It seems that the assassin is coming!"

The woman was holding a spatula in her hand. When she heard this, she turned pale with fright and grabbed Toda-san's hand: "Where are you going?"

"Don't worry! Listen to the officials!" Toda-san patted his arm and said, "We have weapons, we can't just sit and wait for death! You hide!"

The woman suddenly came to her senses, quickly let go of Toda-san, retreated behind the water tank, tightly clutched the spatula, looked at the corner of the stove, thinking to herself, if the official died, she would hit her head to death, and she would never live alone!Don't fall into the hands of thieves and ruin your reputation!

Toda-san closed the kitchen door, went to the porch, and saw three people looking at him, walking slowly over, at the same time, two people circled out from both sides of the back room, both armed with weapons, sneering, facing Hu Tian Shan surrounded him.Judging from his body shape and steps, his martial arts are all top-notch.Can't help but my heart sank.

Then, I heard the back window of the kitchen being pushed open with a bang, someone climbed over the wall and entered the kitchen, and then heard a woman screaming.Toda-san heard that the sound was not pain but panic, which meant that he was not hurt.

Toda-san must be determined not to care about it, so that the assassin will mistakenly think that the woman who has worn a mask and turned into an old woman is just an ordinary servant, so as not to hurt her.Only then can he concentrate on dealing with these assassins.

Sure enough, the assassin in the kitchen glanced at the woman huddled behind the water tank. Seeing that it was an old woman with a spatula in her hand, she should be the cook. He ignored him, pushed open the kitchen door and came out, blocking Toda-san's escape route. .

Toda-san ran across the courtyard in panic and was blocked by an assassin. He backed away in horror and leaned against the pillar of the corridor next to him. He left the kitchen here to avoid hurting the woman.He looked at the six assassins who surrounded him.He stammered, "You guys, what are you going to do?"

A burly man in the lead looked at Toda-san coldly, and said slowly, "Say! Where is the thing?"

"what?"

"Are you still pretending to be garlic?" The burly man raised a single knife in his hand, "If you don't say anything, I will kill you with a single knife!"

Toda-san waved his hands wildly and said, "Wait! Let me tell you!"

The burly man put down his knife and looked at him.

"The things are not with me! Didn't you see that the head catchers who guarded my capital's six gates all left yesterday?"

The burly man frowned, and glanced at the thin man next to him.

The thin man said: "We already know about this, otherwise we wouldn't have come in openly to look for you. However, this is really strange. If the things are still here with the official, why would the queen's people withdraw?"

Toda-san's heart moved, these people actually knew that Yamaguchi Momoe and the others were the Queen's people, which meant that this group of people might also be related to the emperor's relatives!

The burly man glared at him: "Is your mother's mouth locked?"

The thin man said, "It's okay. Anyway, we're going to kill this official. It doesn't matter if he knows."

"That's true." The burly man said to Toda-san, "Where is the thing?"

"I said I'm not with me, otherwise they wouldn't have returned to the capital." Toda-san said with a bitter face, "Please don't kill me, I don't want to die!"

"If you don't want to die, you have to die!—Where is your wife? Where is she? Find her, and I'll give you permission to die together. Isn't that kind enough? Hehehe"

"Hahaha" The other assassins all laughed, and two of them said: "Let's find that little lady. I heard that she looks pretty good. Before she dies, she can serve us a little... "

Whoosh!

Toda-san shot out a heart sword from under his arm.Right in the throat of the assassin!No straight handle!He fell on his back and died.

At the same time, Toda-san turned his arm, whoosh!Shoot out the nine heart swords in succession!

These assassins did not expect that Leng Yi would have such a skill.Due to the short distance and being caught off guard, these people had no time to dodge, and three more assassins were stabbed and fell down!

As soon as Toda-san made a move, he killed four people in a row!

The remaining two reacted fairly quickly, knocking away the throwing knife that Toda Shan shot, and rushed forward screaming.

Toda-san shot mercilessly, and after a few encounters, there were two remaining assassins, one of whom was stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground.die here.The other, that is, the burly man, was stabbed in the stomach, and at the same time, Todashan snatched the sword from him, and lay on the ground.Moaned in pain.

Toda-san left this account alive to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.He broke his legs with two kicks, making it impossible for him to stand up, then he ran back to the kitchen and said, "Mei Niang!"

Mei Niang heard that the shouting outside had stopped, she got up in a panic and was about to go out to check, when she heard the officials calling.My heart was about to explode with joy, I called out "Officer!" I opened the door, and threw myself into Toda-san's arms.Then he quickly broke away, looked up and down Mount Toda, saw blood on his body, and said in a trembling voice, "Is the officer injured?"

"No! It's their blood." Toda-san said, waving his arms, "This thing really works."

The woman glanced into the yard, and saw several corpses lying on the ground, she shivered in fright.

Hu Tianshan said: "You go to the house and continue to cook, don't come out, I want to interrogate these assassins, and find out who is the one who ordered them to kill me."

The woman nodded quickly and said, "The official must be careful!"

"Don't worry, only one is alive, and the others are dead. The ones who are alive are also seriously injured, and they can't hurt anyone anymore."

The woman took a closer look at the corpses of the assassins, and sure enough, only one was still moaning, so she believed it, opened the door and entered the house, and continued to cook.

Toda-san first checked around the yard to make sure there were no more assassins, and then he returned to the leader of the big burly man in the yard, squatted down, grabbed his finger, and broke one.

The burly man let out a scream.

Toda-san wringed off three of his fingers in a row, and then asked, "Who sent you here?"

The burly man smiled miserably: "Don't bother me, I won't say it. Because I said it, all my family members will die!"

"If you don't tell me, you're going to die now! You're dying of pain!"

"bring it on!"

Click!

Toda-san broke another finger.This time, the burly man didn't even make a sound.

Sure enough, Toda-san wrung all his fingers off, and the burly man didn't say a word except screaming.

Toda-san said: "You are not afraid of pain, are you not afraid of death? The injury on your stomach, if you don't treat it in time, you will die soon!"

"Cheat ghosts! This injury can't be cured, I'm dead." The burly man panted.

"Then you die!" Toda Shan coldly stabbed a knife into his neck.

Toda-san searched all of these assassins. Obviously, these assassins have taken precautions, and there is nothing on them that can hunt down the source of identity.

Toda-san returned to the kitchen and said to the woman, "These assassins are already dead. I want to dispose of their bodies. You can cook in the kitchen. Don't come out unless I tell you."

The woman said: "Don't the officials report it to the officials? Oh no, don't the officials tell the master about this?"

"I can't say it!" Toda said, "The origin of these assassins is unknown. If we tell them about it, those who bought them to assassinate officials will know that I killed them and send more assassins to kill me. That would be troublesome." Well, if we quietly bury their bodies, then the mastermind behind the scenes will not know that I killed them, and they may think that they have escaped by themselves. The most important thing is that the mastermind behind the scenes sent a lot of people this time, but they I didn’t know that these people were all dead, and I thought they were trying to complete the assassination mission, so that they would not send people to assassinate in a short time. We have a buffer time. When the master knows that the thing is not with us, They won’t send anyone to kill us anymore.”

Only then did the woman understand, and she nodded: "It's the official's idea! That concubine helps the official..." She glanced at the corpse on the ground, couldn't help shivering, and said bravely, "The official Let's deal with... these corpses together?"

"No! I can handle it by myself. You go and prepare the meals. After the meals are ready, you just pick a few buckets of water to wash away the blood on the ground."

"Ok."

Toda-san took a hoe and dug a deep pit in a corner of the back garden, then moved the corpse to the edge of the pit, and punched the corpse so hard that the bones of the corpse's head and face were shattered, dented and deformed beyond recognition, and then stripped naked Clothes, thrown into the pit, buried the body.

Originally, it was not a good idea to bury the corpse in the yamen, but he was worried that there were assassins watching outside, and the corpse would be discovered if it was transported out of the city. Once the corpse was tracked down, the whole plan would be cancelled. It is safer in the Yamen.

Ordinary monsters don't do this, they usually eat these corpses, but Lu Li cultivates the immortal way, so he can't eat people.

After he buried it here, the woman on the other side also washed away all the blood on the ground.The two changed all the clothes on their bodies, and burned them together in the stove together with the bloody clothes of the assassins.

Liu Juan looked at this woman named Mei Niang, and couldn't tell it was a monster, but Liu Juan thought that these monsters cultivated the way of immortality, and his piercing eyes were not very successful, so he might not be able to see it.

After tidying up, Toda-san and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the yard had returned to its original appearance.Sit down and eat.

That night, the woman nestled in Toda Mountain's arms, thinking of what happened during the day, she couldn't help feeling a little scared, and said in a low voice, "Officer, will these people come to kill us?"

"It won't happen." Toda-san reassured, "Relax and sleep."

"Um……"
