Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Zhou Qiaoji took Shen Qing around to another street and entered an alley.

On both sides of the alley, stalls of various vendors line up row upon row, displaying a dazzling array of products.

From fresh vegetables to exquisite handicrafts, you can find delicious snacks...everything is available.

Hot steamed buns, fragrant pancakes, crispy fried dough sticks...the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks, and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another.

Children were running around and playing in the alleys, and the sounds of laughter and fighting were intertwined with the cries of hawkers, making it look very pyrotechnic.

After passing through this alley, and continuing to walk towards the Sezhou family compound, the shadows of the trees on both sides gradually became taller and darker.

The number of vendors also dropped sharply.

It's like drawing a certain line. After crossing that line, not even a vendor can be seen.

Sprinkled diagonally at the end of the alley. Soon, Zhou Qiaoji brought Shen Qing to a vermilion wooden door.

There was no one around, and Shen Qing's steps were a little hesitant. The blood in his body was already surging, tight inside and loose outside.

Zhou Qiaoji, on the other hand, seemed much more calm. She knocked gently on the wooden door, making a low and rhythmic sound.

After a while, the wooden door creaked open, and a man in green clothes poked his head out.

Menzi's eyes lingered on Shen Qing for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Qiaoji, his face was startled, and he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Miss Twelve, are you back?"

Zhou Qiaoji nodded slightly and said to his disciple: "Go and ask Manager Chang to come out. Tell him that I have something to ask him."

Menzi left in response, while Shen Qing stared at Menzi's back and remained silent.

Steward Chang, who was wearing a robe, walked over quickly. Before anyone arrived, he said, "Miss Twelve, where have you been? I'm so worried."

When he saw Shen Qing, he was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later." Zhou Qiaoji stepped forward and walked up the stairs, turned around, and asked Shen Qing, "What do you want? Kung Fu pills or a hundred taels of gold?"

Shen Qing didn't expect Zhou Qiaoji to be so fast-paced and without any sloppiness.

On the way, he had heard about various martial arts realms and knew some of the keys. After thinking for a moment, he said in a calm tone: "Let's take some martial arts pills."

"Okay." Zhou Qiaoji ordered: "Manager Chang, go and get the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique that I got from my second brother, and also bring the Qi Tempering Pill."

Steward Chang said with a strange expression: "The eldest young master took away the Qi Quenching Pill when he saw that you were not here."

Zhou Qiaoji felt a tightness in his chest and said with a normal expression, "Then bring me another hundred taels of silver notes."

"Okay, miss, I'll be right over." Manager Chang nodded, bowed, and hurriedly turned around and ran back to get his things.

Zhou Qiaoji looked at Shen Qing and said, "Master Li, please be patient. I will give you the things in a moment to fulfill my promise. However, the Zhou family is relatively large, so it will take a while to get the things. How about Master Li go with me?" A quiet place to wait for a while?”

Shen Qing refused: "I'm just a country man, how can I defile the door of the Zhou family? Besides, I'm just here for something. If I can't be a guest, I won't go in."

"Master Li is really humble, that's okay. Then it's up to you." Zhou Qiaoji didn't push any further.

After almost a cup of tea, Manager Chang came over with a wooden box in his arms and said, "Miss Twelve, they are all here."

Zhou Qiaoji opened the box, flipped through it and confirmed, "That's right."

After saying that, she walked up to Shen Qing with the small wooden box in her arms and said, "The martial arts skills are inside, but the pills I promised you are gone, so I will give you a hundred silver notes."

Shen Qing took the box, took out the exercises inside, and then flipped through the pages in front of Zhou Qiaoji.

As he flipped through the pages, he explained: "Let me take a closer look at the exercises, so that if there are any mistakes or gaps, I will suffer the consequences."

At this time, a hint of impatience appeared on Zhou Qiaoji's face, but he quickly covered it up: "Young Master Li is right, take your time and take a look, we are not in a hurry."

"Um."

After spending half a stick of incense, Shen Qing finally finished reading it. After confirming that the content was complete, he said, "No problem."

"That's good."

"Miss Zhou is indeed kind and righteous." Shen Qing took out the banknotes from the box, clasped his fists and said, "This way we are settled. Farewell!"

Zhou Qiaoji said: "Master Li, walk slowly."

After seeing Shen Qing's figure disappearing into the alley, Zhou Qiaoji suddenly relaxed, his face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth.

"Miss..." Manager Chang saw something was wrong and stepped forward with concern: "What are you..."

"Uncle Chang, I'm going to trouble you later." Zhou Qiaoji said with sharp eyes.

Manager Chang asked strangely: "Miss, what do you want me to do?"

"Kill that person just now!"

"The eldest young master has already spoken, not to let us kill people randomly, so as not to make things difficult for his father-in-law. I hope I can give this old slave a reason."

Zhou Qiaoji's eyes turned red and he said, "I was deceived by that bitch."

"Um?"

Zhou Qiaoji choked up and told the story of what happened one after another.

It's just that some of the content is slightly hidden.

"Ah... there is such a thing? That stupid big eagle, fortunately he died early, otherwise if the master is angry, his life will be worse than death."

Zhou Qiaoji became a little excited.

In fact, her name was not Zhou Qiaoji, but Zhou Yu. She was a concubine in the fifth house and one of the Zhou family's favorite daughters. She was good at talking and even fisting.

When facing Shen Qing, she didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that her name would be tarnished, so she used a pseudonym.

After a while, Manager Chang's face became serious and he said, "In this case, losing one's chastity is a small matter, but losing one's reputation is a big matter. This boy must not be kept."

"Not only him, but also the three women they sent to the government office, and the group of people in their shantytowns must be killed. As long as they are all killed, no one will know about this, and this matter can be covered up."

When Zhou Yu spoke, her words became a little excited.

At this moment, she hated Shen Qing so much that she wanted to cut him into pieces.

The so-called golden juice is manure water!

The dignified Miss Zhou was forced to drink the golden juice, which was even more uncomfortable than killing her.

In any case, that man must be killed!

The bastard living in the outer city would die if he died, and no one would pay attention to him.

"Excuse me, both of you."

At this moment, a sudden voice appeared in the ears of Zhou Yu and Manager Chang, which startled them.

They looked around and saw Shen Qing had come back without making any noise.

Zhou Yu suppressed his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I've thought about it and decided not to learn the martial arts. Please exchange it for 100 taels of gold."

Shen Qing offered the martial arts with both hands.

Zhou Yu and Manager Chang looked at each other. She didn't know why Shen Qing suddenly wanted to change the martial arts, but it didn't matter. He couldn't remember anything with such a little skill.

Besides, he was going to die, so he could get it back no matter how much he was given.

Zhou Yu said, "Manager, go and exchange the gold notes."

"Yes, Miss."

This time Zhou Yu learned her lesson and didn't say anything more, for fear of letting the cat out of the bag.

Soon, Manager Chang brought the gold bills over: "You can click on them, right?"

Shen Qing took the gold bills and said without counting them: "I believe you."

After that, he immediately handed the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art back and said: "Here is the art for you."

Manager Chang glanced at Zhou Yu, who motioned him to calm down first and do it outside to avoid making the matter known to everyone.

Manager Chang understood, and he honestly took the art from Shen Qing.

Just touched it, there was a rectangular box under the art.

"Goodbye."

Manager Chang was wondering, Shen Qing had already left quickly.

He frowned, took out the rectangular box below, and said curiously: "What is this?"

As soon as the voice fell.

Boom!

A fierce flame exploded from the long box, making a thunderous sound, and a large fireball instantly rolled Manager Chang and Zhou Yu in.
