Sui'an City. Hefu Courtyard.
"Master."
A figure pushed the door open.
"who?"
He Jing asked.
"Sir, it's me."
This man was wearing a green robe and holding an oil lamp in his hand.
"Qi Baiyi from the Huma Gang is here, and he brought good news to the elder. He said: He has found the man."
He Jin was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, but upon hearing this, he immediately sat up from the bed.
His wrinkled eyes quickly narrowed into slits.
"Is it done?"
"Of course it's done."
The person holding the oil lamp was He Jin's confidant, and he smiled.
"Congratulations, sir. Once the eldest grandson of the eldest family dies, you will be the legitimate head of the He family."
"Okay, okay."
He Jin said "good" three times in a row, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, and his eyebrows trembled several times on his face.
"By the way, where is the body?"
"Qi Baiyi said he was afraid that you would always be worried, so he brought the body with him."
He Jin's confidant smiled and said: "This man is also clever. His men packed He Ping's body in a large wooden box and transported it into the city pretending to be goods. No one noticed anything wrong with the box along the way."
"Qi Baiyi from the Huma Gang is better than Jie Sanshangdao."
He Jin stroked his beard and smiled.
"I asked Jie San to find an opportunity for me to get rid of that person before. That Jie San is very cunning and refuses to agree... Qi Baiyi, young people are young people, full of energy and quick to do things.
"
"What about the reward of ten thousand taels of silver that Qi Baiyi wants? We really want to give it to—"
The confidant asked in a low voice.
He Jin half-closed his eyes slightly,
"The He family's money has been saved bit by bit. I'm not that kid from He Ping. I don't know the price of rice when I eat it... Go and tell the ministers in the house to light up their troops and ambush them in the living room.
Nearby, wait for my order!"
He made a gesture of raising his hand and wielding a knife, and He Jin's confidants immediately retreated in confusion.
…
Qi Baiyi took his closest brothers and carried a large brown wooden box into the main entrance of the He Mansion Villa.
Passing through the screen wall facing the main entrance and entering this room, one is greeted by the aura of jewels and jewels. The courtyard of He Mansion is luxuriously decorated, with withered beams and painted pillars, and Zhu Zhu Ling Yun. It is so magnificent that it makes the Huma Gang lick blood from their swords.
The bumpkins who lived their daily lives were dumbfounded.
Qi Baiyi, the leader, also felt this in his heart.
"The He family made their fortune by selling rice. Within several generations, they accumulated tens of thousands of dollars. I don't know how much money it cost to build this village with so much effort..."
Qi Baiyi also came from a poor family. His father was a horse runner. He took him to Mobei with a horse-selling caravan to seek a living. As a result, he encountered a "green" horse thief.
There are also several groups of horse thieves in Mobei. Those who use their horses and swords to run in single gangs only rob red goods. They don't commit crimes easily and don't hurt anyone. There are also those who gather in groups of 180 people. They are used to robbing goods and calling the yellow goods away.
, they don’t usually kill people, especially for caravans running pack horses, they often don’t even take away the animals. This kind of horse thieves always regard this business as a crop, harvesting every crop.
The only exception is "Zhou Qing", who acts arrogantly. This guy is hated by gods and ghosts in Mobei. If he encounters him, he will crush the bones of the dead and suck out the marrow. Qi Baiyi was able to survive in the first place.
His father pinned him down tightly, but except for him, including his parents, no one in the entire caravan survived.
Jie San may not be a good person, but he avenged Qi Baiyi's parents. Lord Qi Bai wanted to repay his kindness, so he took over as the leader of the Huma Gang after Jie San's death.
His role as the leader of the gang was not going well. Jie San had many grudges before him. He and Shen Eryi died. The Huma Gang became a public outcast because of their past grudges and business matters. Qi Baiyi struggled to support him.
, but still felt weak... Apart from other things, he was not good at business matters. During this period of time, the Huma Gang was unable to make ends meet on its accounts and found it difficult to sustain itself.
When he came to the He Mansion Courtyard this time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the luxury of the Shenmen Courtyard. At this moment, He Jin's confidant, the man in Tsing Yi, came into the living room.
"You are Qi Baiyi."
He Jin sat on a chair, changed into brocade clothes, and reached out to hold a cup of tea.
"By the way, where is the thing?"
"Mr. He, this is it."
Qi Baiyi ordered his men to put the box down and open it at the same time. There was a dead body lying inside.
The corpse was pale, without a trace of blood. That face was indeed He Ping's face. He Jin could see it clearly through the light in the hall.
"Well done."
He Jin laughed with satisfaction. He stood up, took the sword handed over by his confidant, pulled out the sword, moved his body, and stabbed the man lying in the box with the sword at a speed faster than lightning.
on the dead body.
"etc!"
Qi Baiyi was shocked and lost his mind. He did not expect that He Jin's swordsmanship was so fast. The other party had at least three to forty years of skill in this sword. I am afraid that the other party's swordsmanship was not inferior to that of Taoist Chiling from Feiyumen.
(Damn it...this He Jin of the He family is so well hidden and so skilled in swordsmanship, I really regret it in my life.)
As soon as Qi Baiyi put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, He Jin's eyes flashed, and He Jin had already pierced He Ping's heart with his sword. The sword move was poisonous and spicy. In terms of its severity, it would not be an exaggeration to call him "Grand Master"
.
"Whoosh!"
He Jin sheathed his sword and stabbed the corpse in the heart. He felt relieved knowing that it was indeed He Ping's dead body.
"Well done, Qi Baiyi, He Ping is finally dead. You can say that he has made a great contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"
Qi Baiyi laughed when he saw He Jin asking this question.
"Why should Mr. He ask questions knowingly? All I want is money... As an outsider, I won't ask any more questions about your He family's affairs. Please give me the reward, Mr. He. My brothers from the Huma Gang and I will leave He's house immediately.
, I can guarantee not to leak even a single word of what happened here."
"I trust Gang Leader Qi."
He Jin sat back on the chair.
"However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Except for the dead, there is no one who will not reveal your so-called 'secret'. I'm sorry, Gang Leader Qi. I will only ask you to go on your way."
He made a sign to his heart, and the "confidant" in Qingyi rang the bell in his hand. This bell was used to call the many guards hiding outside the living room. However, this "confidant" rang the bell several times, and nothing happened.
Not a single figure came into the living room.
"this……"
The man in Tsing Yi's expression changed slightly. When the bell rang, it was a signal, and the guards from the He Mansion would rush in and kill him.
But now, he has been ringing for so long, but there is no sound outside the living room. Behind those rockeries and water, behind the shade of the garden trees, everything is silent. When the ringing of the bell in his hand stops, everything is even quieter, even Xia
You can't even hear the insects chirping at night.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Qi Baiyi laughed loudly and drew his sword. Behind him, there was a sound of gold and iron. Several of his men also drew their sabers and pointed them at He Jin who was sitting on the chair.
"Mr. He, it's really difficult to do your business," his face suddenly changed, and he smiled sinisterly: "I'm so sorry, doing business with you is such a loss, I had no choice but to invest in another company."
"you……"
He Jin also noticed something strange, and suddenly stood up from the chair. As soon as he stood up, his face suddenly turned blue, his eyes widened, and his whole body froze in place, motionless, as if he had been cast by a restraining spell.
.
(——What kind of magic is this?)
He Jin's complexion suddenly changed, turning from pale to green quickly, and cold sweat trickled down his back. At this moment, his whole body was motionless, as if he was being suppressed by a demon - it was not that he was unwilling to move, but that the cloth around his body was
It was covered with fine silk threads, which were invisible threads invisible to the naked eye. They were wrapped around He Jin's body from all directions, fixing his entire body.
The Qingyi confidant standing next to He Jin also had the same livid face, and his body was covered with lead, making it difficult to move. He was frozen in place, holding a bell in his hand, and posing in an extremely funny posture.
Seeing the posture of his confidant, He Jin didn't feel the least bit funny. His heart was filled with bottomless fear.
"Master He Fang, why do you want to be the enemy of my He family?"
He Jin's lips trembled, and when he was about to speak, he saw a figure in rich clothes in the corner, walking over slowly.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes with all his strength, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the figure in rich clothes. The man smiled sparsely and smoothed his long beard under his chin.
"He Jin, look at my outfit, does it look familiar?"
To be continued...
