Imperial Hunters

Back at the Janisa house, Ashley asked Yao how he could catch the murderer, and Yao told her, "The Scythians have two traits. One is that they are good at fighting, and the other is that they are extremely fond of gold, and when they go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, they usually have to cut off the enemy's head and go back to claim credit for it. The leaders would then order the craftsmen to use gold and the enemy's head as a drinking vessel to reward the most outstanding warriors, and the Scythians would have an incomprehensible preference for these things.

A few days later, above the market near the Koenigs' house, a small middle-aged man was peddling antiques to passers-by and tourists. He was lucky that two items had been bought all morning by tourists from Europe and Japan. It was a fine wine, but the tourists, hearing that it was made from a human skull, gave up on the idea of buying it, so the most eye-catching of all was never bought.

The peddler was squatting down and smoking his cigarette, occasionally laughing and chatting with an old man who sold blankets to his side. Suddenly, a slim figure appeared in front of him.

He looked up at the man, dressed in jeans with a dark jacket and a baseball cap pulled low over his head. A scarf was wrapped around his face, obscuring his features. This person had a backpack slung over his back, casually looking at the goods at his feet. He looked no different from any other tourists.

The man squatted down and in awkward English chatted with the peddler, asking him about the price of the bone wine.

The vendor offered a high price, but the other party seemed to be a tycoon, agreeing to the deal without haggling. The buyer paid the bill, picked up the wine cup and examined it for a moment. Then, he immediately pulled open the lock of his backpack, placed the wine cup inside and got up to leave.

After hesitating for a while, the buyer went back to talk to him. The two agreed to make a deal here at noon tomorrow, and then the buyer hurriedly left the market with his remaining goods. The peddler also happily packed up and returned home.

The hawker lived not far away, in a commoner district residence a few miles away from the market. When he returned home, he excitedly showed his wife his harvests for the day. After a flirt, he sat down on a chair and smoked a cigarette while watching TV while his wife happily prepared lunch for him.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind the peddler and covered his mouth, followed by a familiar low voice warning him not to yell. That person indicated that he had no ill intentions and was here to buy his wine cup.

The peddler recognized the guest who had bought his bone glass not long ago and nodded in agreement. The man let go of his hand and dropped a wad of dollars on the table, telling him to get out his wineglass and trade immediately.

He got up and went to a wooden cabinet to take out a human skull wine set that was even more exquisite than the previous one. Just as the buyer was about to reach out to take it, a gun suddenly appeared in the peddler's hand and the black muzzle was pointed at the buyer's body. At the same time, the peddler's wife came out of the kitchen with a gun and walkie-talkie.

The buyer knew he had been fooled. He slowly raised his hands.

The peddler's wife called out to her companion over the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, the buyer let out a whistle. A white horse rushed in from outside the door. The vendor and his wife were shocked by the sudden turn of events. The buyer took the opportunity to wave his two knives at them, accurately stabbing them into the chest of the peddler and his wife. Then, he jumped onto his white horse, turned the reins, and dashed out the door into the street.

Just when he thought he could escape the trap, a white, fog-like object pounced on his head from the air like a guided bomb. It was a huge bird, but before he could clearly see what kind of bird it was, he was thrown down from his horse, landing heavily on the ground. Before he could react, more than a dozen strong men had already arrived and brought him under their control.

The three of them arrived in an open jeep. Wei Wuji greeted Old Bai and told him to land on his arm. Then, he gently and firmly grabbed its neck and stroked it a few times to show his appreciation for the reward.

Yao Yun walked over and pulled off the buyer's scarf, revealing a beautiful woman's face. "As expected." He looked at Yao Yun and ordered his men to escort this woman back to his home.

Ashley and Jensa were impressed by Yao Ling's judgement and plan. However, the problem was that this woman had a tough mouth, so no matter how they asked, she just refused to speak.

Jensa was worried and said she didn't want to torture a woman. She didn't want to use torture to interrogate her.

If she's really a Sihuan descendant, maybe I can find a way to get her to talk to me." He told Janisa to send people to buy as many scorpions as he could: "The Scythians have very complicated beliefs. They believe in many gods, and the most revered one among them is the death god who turned into a scorpion. The Scythians think that death is a supreme glory on the battlefield, but those who are afraid of death and covetous deserters will be poisoned by the scorpions of the Scorpion incarnate. Their souls will be eternally tortured.

Yao Ling's plan worked once again. When that Western Xuya woman saw the large plate of scorpions, she became incomparably frightened. After a moment of pressure, she finally revealed the truth.

Her name was Sakya, and she was really a descendant of the Scythians. They had gathered together and abandoned their former country, hiding in the mountains of Central Asia. These people, who were national and stateless, formed a mercenary group to work for those employers who contributed money. This time, Saga had been hired to come to India with the aim of assassinating Jensa, but no one knew who her employer was, except that she was likely to be Chinese.

It seemed that Sakya was telling the truth, but this information was of no use. The Koenigs had always been in danger, and this murder plan was only one of several in their family. As for who the mastermind was, there was still no clue. Sakya said, however, that this was the first time they had been hired to assassinate Jansa, and that his brother's death had nothing to do with their organization.

Jansa was unexpectedly lenient towards Zacha and did not eliminate her. Instead, she secretly sent people to transfer her to a safe place and placed her under house arrest.

Ashley asked him why he wanted to do this. "I bought a good horse because I'm going to a very important race in two years. Zacha is from Xia, a natural equestrian master, and I need her for me," he said. These people are born and bred to wander around. In order to survive and pay, they can make any kind of deal. I believe that she can change and serve me. "

Yao Ling felt a sense of freshness after hearing this. She thought to herself, this person is quite interesting. His family has been killed and he is in great danger, yet he is still thinking about what kind of horse race he is going to participate in.

After dinner, he discussed this topic with Yao Yun and the others. Wei Wuji sat in the corner and listened without saying a word for a long time. Suddenly, he frowned and said: "The murderer has been caught, but don't you think that the black dog that saved Jian Nessa when something happened was very strange? We've been here for a while, and although we've seen some stray dogs around here, they're all half-starved wild dogs. They're too lazy to do anything but pick up some trash to keep themselves alive, and we've never seen a stray dog attack a human or animal. But according to you, the black dog that saved him was fierce and seemed to have been trained by someone. If it's a bodyguard or something like that hired by the Janissary, then he has no reason to lie to us. "

Yao Yun smoked as she nodded and said, "Indeed. I've been thinking about that black dog for the past few days. That dog is simply amazing. It's almost as fierce as the white manicure we killed in Beijing, though not as quick and deadly as it was, but the ferocity and decisiveness with which we bit the Tuck horse always made me think they were alike, as if they had been bred by the same person. "

"You mean Zhang Tie Yu?" "Impossible, isn't he just a lousy Shandong dog dealer? It's impossible for him to come to India." Ashley rejected Yao's assumption.

Xu Er and Xu Er suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, that's right, I remember something. When I was working under Li Yeseng, I knew that he came to India often, and seemed to have business here. He also has a lot of business, but he is usually very cautious about things here."

Yao Ling nodded and said, "If it really is Li Yesheng who came to India, then that Ironfish might have followed him here. If it is Li Yesheng who wants to harm Kenjia, then it should be Zhang Tianyu who secretly sent that black dog to mess things up after receiving the news." But why do you think this Li Yesheng murdered Kenesha? Was it he who did the murder of Janisa's brother? "

Ashley thought for a moment and said, "The family business of the Janissary family is very big, could there be some kind of business conflict with Ye Sheng? So Li Yesheng wants to get rid of them? "

"I think the possibility of this happening is very small. In the past few days, we have also seen that the Jiannie Sa family is very influential here. His older brother was the mayor of this place before, and there must be a huge conflict of interest between him and a family with such a background. There is no way Li Yisheng would wipe out a family with such a deep background just because of some business. In addition, I think that if the owner of that black dog is really Zhang Tie Yu, he will reveal himself and contact us sooner or later. At that time, he might even know the truth of the matter. "
