Mantra

Chapter 122

When there was no one around, Zhao Haikun told me that he was going to show Lei Ren the kitchen knife in a while. Normally, Lei Ren would leave after reading the kitchen knife, but he was afraid that Lei Ren would get tricky and would not leave, so he wanted me to help.

I asked, "How can I help?"

Zhao Haikun replied with a little embarrassment: "I want you...to help hold the line."

Zhao Haikun explained to me in detail that he wanted me and my friends to stand behind him with courage, and if Lei Ren refused to leave later, he would help him drive away these guys.

Zhao Haikun's words made me wholeheartedly agree.

Starting from the highway in Texas, I have always looked down on this Lei Ren, and he knows no less heresy than that Duan Tianshi. He is "five sons moving mountains" and "gold chases barbarians". He had come prepared for a long time, and they might even be in the same group. Li Douniu might have found someone to pretend to be him.

Because of this, I immediately agreed to Zhao Haikun's opinion.

After getting my answer, Zhao Haikun was still a little worried and said: "In addition, please help me restrain Zhao Shuihe, she was deceived by that Lei Ren very badly, I am afraid that she will talk to Lei Ren about right and wrong, there are some things... ...it's not easy to handle."

I nodded, and suddenly understood why Zhao Haikun wanted to tell me these things alone.

I don't have much contact with Zhao Shuihe, but I can feel that this girl has a kind of adolescent rebellious psychology.

In fact, with her intelligence, she may not know Lei Ren's true face, but her anger and willfulness are not controlled by her own brain.Zhao Haikun may not even listen to her if she tells her directly, but she may even fight against us.

So, let us be a little bit tired and secretly "discipline" this Grandma Zhao.

After I nodded and promised, I will go to mobilize Xian Hongye, Ah Si and Zhao Hong.

I asked everyone to support our Confucius Temple. With them, I immediately felt a lot more confident, and everyone accompanied Mr. Lei to watch kitchen knives, and it was good to have long eyes.

In this way, I took a group of people, followed my uncle Zhao Haikun, and went to the main room where the Zhao family received guests to "kill".

To be honest, along the way, I found that the Zhao family has actually lived well in recent years, and the house is also very big. After all, when my old squad leader was alive, his monthly income was over [-].

Also because of the hard work of my master Zhao Haipeng, the Zhao family built a three-story brick house with courtyards, and became a wealthy household in the Zhao family building.

These three-storey courtyards are very unique. The finished products are arranged in a font, facing north and south. Pomegranate trees and plane trees are planted in each courtyard.

Among the antiques, these ingenious arrangements give it a bit of a classical flavor, adding to the historical charm inherited by the Zhao family.

At the junction of the "three mouths" of this zigzag-shaped building complex is the largest building in this building complex, and it is also the reception room of the Zhao family.

I pushed Zhao Haikun's wheelchair, and accompanied by Xian Hongye and Zhao Hong, I came to this very spacious reception room with a "murderous look", ready to judge swords with Lei Ren.

Looking around at this moment, because the funeral has just been completed, the reception room is very messy, and it is difficult to find a place to stay when all kinds of tables and benches that have just been used are piled up.

But even so, Lei Ren still sat still. He and his nephew blew a pot of tea, and the two of them spoke Cantonese and Hokkien for a while, and they chatted quite happily.

I'm not surprised by his appearance, but... why is Duan Tianshi here?
At this moment, in the hall of the Zhao family, I suddenly saw that wicked liar sitting at the table in the corner of the reception room.

What is he here for? !

Duan Tianshi was wearing a half-new dark blue Chinese tunic suit, with closed eyes, completely curbing his usual fascination, but there was still a trace of inexplicable madness.

But compared to his "high spirits" yesterday, Duan Tianshi at this time is very depressed.Uncle and nephew Lei Ren was speaking Cantonese and blowing tea, he couldn't get in the mouth at all, and wanted to come over to say hello to Zhao Haikun, but was stared back by Zhao Hong who was beside me.

In the midst of discord, this guy wisely chose to remain silent. After smiling at Zhao Haikun, he lit a cigarette and started puffing it up.

After seeing us, Lei Ren immediately stood up, walked towards us with a smile on his face.

He still cupped his hands at Zhao Haikun with an amiable face and said, "Brother Akun, why do we need to involve so many outsiders in the matter between us?"

While talking, he pointed to me and Hongye, Ah Si and Zhao Hong behind me.

"Outsider?" I snorted coldly, "Am I considered an outsider?"

When I asked this question, Lei Ren suddenly realized something, and he shook his head in a panic.

With my words, it was not difficult for Zhao Hong to express his position at the time: "The old squad leader and I are comrades in arms who have eaten maggots in the trenches, and we are not outsiders. I am talking..."

As Zhao Hong was talking, he glanced at Duan Tianshi and asked again, "That pretending liar is here, why can't we!"

After being told by Zhao Hong, the skinny Duan Tianshi was very unhappy. He smoked a cigarette and yelled at Zhao Hong: "Keep your mouth clean, who is pretending to be a ghost? I am a Taoist... Besides, I I came to the Zhao family to discuss business."

"Business?" I asked in surprise, "My old squad leader is buried in the ground, your work is over, what business are you talking about?"

At this time, the liar sneered and said something that shocked me.

He actually chuckled and said, "Of course it's the Zhao family's kitchen knife business. We've already talked about it. I'll buy the Zhao family's ancestral kitchen knife."

What he said had a huge impact on me.

Surprised, my eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and at the same time, a problem that had been pent up in my mind for a long time was finally figured out with a "bang".

Did this Duan Tianshi also come here with a kitchen knife?
I have long remembered the sudden appearance and ludicrous deceit of this celestial master.

This man is mysterious, but also dangerous.

In this regard, Xian Hongye and I have analyzed it. He seems to be highly skilled in Taoism, but he deliberately pretends to be stupid, and secretly wants to kill me.

However, we still have no evidence to prove this.

In the end, what is the purpose of his intervening in the affairs of the Zhao family so disdainfully, I don't know.

But I always knew that, as the saying goes, "you can't get early without profit", he must have a plan to deceive the Zhao family several times.

But this time, he finally admitted his plot with his own mouth, and it turned out to be that "kitchen knife".

I finally understood that whether Lei Ren or Duan Tianshi, these people gathered in Zhaojialou to attend my old monitor's funeral. There is really only one real purpose!
It's all about the Zhao family's ancestral kitchen knife!

This is definitely not a coincidence.

What is the magical power of this legendary kitchen knife bestowed by the emperor that makes so many people flock to it?
Driven by curiosity, I hurriedly asked Zhao Haikun what was going on, and why the liar said he wanted to buy a kitchen knife.

... "What did we promise him?"

Zhao Haikun couldn't stand my question, so he told me the "agreement" between him and Duan Tianshi, and why he wanted to sell that kitchen knife.
