Compared to the ferocity of those children, what really shocked Gao Zhuo was the Kunlun slave standing in front of him.
Gao Zhuo had heard about this sinful place as early as when he was in the ghost market.
After arriving here, I was even more shocked by the filthiness here.
It is different from those ugly zombies, and it is also different from the ghost market where elves, ghosts, dragons and fish are mixed.
There are living people here, living human beings.
It's just that this place is like a sewer, all the ugliness of this huge empire flows here like sewage, making every inch of land here give people a chilling malice.
In such a sinful place, the legendary Gelao, a big shot with hands and eyes as far as the sky, turned out to be a Kunlun slave.
This is like the president of Chinatown being a black man. It is simply absurd and magical.
Gao Zhuo even had to wonder if this Gekpo was not a puppet set up by a certain big family.
"snort!"
Gelao didn't answer, his big copper bell eyes looked up and down Gao Zhuo: "You are not here to do business, what do you want!"
Gao Zhuo turned around and walked to the slave owner, stretched out his hand: "Bring it here!"
The slave owner was startled, then walked to Gelao and took out the jade pendant that Gao Zhuo had just given to him from his arms.
Seeing the jade pendant, Gelao seemed to understand something and nodded: "The night before yesterday, there was a lot of noise in the ghost market. It turns out you are the zombie!"
Hearing this, Gao Zhuo's eyebrows raised.
Although many people saw what happened in the ghost market the day before yesterday, the other party immediately guessed his identity just by looking at the jade pendant. It seemed that the owner of the sinful place did have the ability to see the sky with his hands and eyes.
"In this case, please help me do something. After the task is completed, I will give you another jade pendant!"
"whats the matter!"
"It's very simple, kill someone!"
"who!"
Gelao's eyes were fixed on Gao Zhuo, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him, and he said the person's name in a leisurely manner: "Cao Huasheng..."
"I, Cao Huasheng, would like to pay my respects to the Crown Prince!"
In the small courtyard of Huangyi, Xu Tong looked up and down at the bad handsome man.
He was in his early thirties, wearing a snow-white straight-breasted robe and a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist. There was only a piece of black jade of excellent quality hanging on it.
Her hair seemed to be tied up casually with a silver rope, and a few strands of broken hair were scattered on her forehead, making her look a little careless and frivolous.
No wonder Guo Yi felt that this person did not look like a good and upright person.
But who would have thought that this person turned out to be the famous bad handsome judge Cao Huasheng of Xinglin.
"You're welcome, Bad Handsome, please sit down!"
Xu Tong said and motioned to Sanniang to watch the tea.
"Tonight's visit is really unexpected. There are just some things that only the Crown Prince can answer for me, so I took the liberty of not disturbing you. I hope the Crown Prince won't be offended."
After Cao Huasheng sat down, he did not go around in circles and went straight to the purpose.
"Oh, is there any news in the world that even bad guys can know about?? Then I don't know even more."
Xu Tong said jokingly while holding a tea bowl.
However, his words were not meant to be polite. Although bad people have no rank, they are indeed controlled by the imperial court. If you insist on making a comparison, it is like the nine sects.
People direct.
You can imagine how big this network is.
There are secret whistleblowers of bad guys in all walks of life, and Xu Tong couldn't think of anything that would require a bad guy to come to him for advice.
"Shang Shu Zuo Cheng, Mr. Zhang, unexpectedly got a good coffin fifteen days ago. But the strange thing is that when he got the coffin, Mr. Zhang's mother suddenly fell ill and died. What's even more strange is that this man suddenly fell ill and died.
Do you think it's strange that Mr. Zhang still has the desire to visit Hualou during his mourning period?"
Xu Tong took a few sips of the tea and felt that the tea was very fragrant, but he didn't taste any tea at all.
Cao Huasheng continued: "Just the night before yesterday, when Mr. Zhang went to Tanhualou, a murder suddenly occurred at home. What's even more bizarre is that everyone in the Zhang family fell into a coma. When they woke up, they had no idea what had happened.
We don’t know anything about the matter, but the Zhang family’s mistress was actually stabbed to death by her personal maid.”
Having said this, Cao Huasheng looked at Xu Tong: "The case is actually very simple in the final analysis. The maid also confessed, but... Mr. Zhang ignored one thing. His mother's coffin and body disappeared overnight.
Fei, Mr. Zhang didn’t mention this at all, do you think it’s strange or not!”
Xu Tong put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Cao Huasheng with a puzzled expression: "It's a bit strange. Could it be that Master Zhang deliberately killed his mother?"
"It's possible, but as far as I know Mr. Zhang is a well-known filial son, how could he be willing to kill his mother? Besides, everyone was unconscious that night, but Mr. Zhang's mother and coffin were missing.
Well, Your Majesty, tell me, who would steal the body and coffin of an old lady?"
When Cao Huasheng said this, his eyes were fixed on Xu Tong, as if he wanted to find any clues about the prince.
"It just so happened that the ghost market was in chaos that day, and our people also saw the prince sitting on a coffin. May I ask, prince, where did the coffin you were sitting on come from?"
"presumptuous!!"
Seeing that Cao Huasheng was going too far, Guo Yi finally got angry: "What is the identity of my eldest son? Don't say you are a bad handsome man. Even an official from the Ministry of Justice would not dare to talk to my eldest son like this!"
Facing Guo Yi's glare, Cao Huasheng ignored it and kept staring at Xu Tong, refusing to let go of any details.
But what disappoints Cao Huasheng is that the person sitting in front of him is not Li Zheng, the melon-and-egg man, but Xu Tong, who grew up in a mental hospital. This kind of trick is simply childish.
Cao Huasheng stared for a long time, but he couldn't get any information. Xu Tong put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly:
"The coffin! I bought it in the ghost market, but when I came back I didn't think it was fun, so I chopped it up and burned it as firewood. The bad guy came too late, otherwise this coffin would have to be held by the bad guy no matter what.
"Eye, if it's stolen goods, I can't bear the crime of throwing a corpse into a coffin and stealing a coffin."
Cao Huasheng looked at Xu Tong and sighed secretly in his heart. The prince was indeed as alert and cunning as the news said. He went straight in like this because he had no evidence and wanted to force the prince to reveal some flaws.
I couldn't bear to think that the other person's answers were flawless. It was obvious that he was bullying me and there was no evidence.
"If so, that would be a pity..."
Cao Huasheng sighed, stood up and cupped his hands towards Xu Tongyi: "I take the liberty of disturbing you due to my humble position. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"The bad guy is so polite."
Xu Tong picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Guo Yi, see you off!"
"please!"
Guo Yi frowned, obviously extremely dissatisfied with this so-called bad coach.
When Cao Huasheng saw this, he sighed and handed over his hands before leaving. However, before leaving, he was not far away and muttered to himself: "The coffin is most likely to be sent out of the city. I'm afraid it's someone from outside."
If you can’t get it, you might start grabbing it!”
This was obviously meant for Xu Tong.
After finishing speaking, Cao Huasheng did not forget to look back, but after still not seeing the slightest trace on Xu Tong's face, he could only turn around and leave with a slightly disappointed look.
"It's this coffin again..."
Only when Cao Huasheng left did Xu Tong frown.
He took out the piece of papyrus given to him by Gao Zhuo. On the papyrus was written the mission information about the coffin. Xu Tong scanned it carefully and found nothing wrong with it.
Simply stand up and walk towards the ice cellar.
"Keep here!"
Xu Tong gave an order and ordered Guo Yi to guard the door of the ice cellar, and then walked down the ice cellar.
At this moment, the blood stains in the ice cellar have been cleaned up by Gao Zhuo, but the smell of blood still lingers in the air.
The coffin was placed in the middle of the ice cellar.
Xu Tong walked to the coffin and tried to put the coffin into the prop book again.
"This item cannot be converted into a prop card!"
The cold reminder sounded, making Xu Tong even more confused. He reached out and pushed open the coffin lid. Seeing that there was nothing in the empty coffin, Xu Tong inevitably began to wonder.
Why do so many people want this coffin??
And what kind of material is this coffin made of? Is it really a thousand-year-old dark wood?
Thinking of this, Xu Tong tried to take out the Pure Yang Sword and prepared to chop off a corner of the coffin and put it in the prop book to try.
But just when he was about to take action.
The props book prompt sounded at an inappropriate time.
"Side Mission 3: Strange Coffin and Mystery"
This is a unique coffin. Many people are inquiring about the whereabouts of this coffin, protecting it and finding clues about the coffin.
Mission requirements: Find clues about the coffin while protecting it from damage.
Mission time: thirteen days
Mission penalty: random”
Good guy, Xu Tong held the big sword in the air, and when he heard the sudden prompt, he almost dodged his waist.
This mission really comes at a good time.
Or maybe it was because he wanted to split the coffin that he triggered the mission.
Normally, a side mission would be insignificant to him, but the punishment for this mission, the word random, made Xu Tong feel extremely annoyed.
It's just like when you ask your girlfriend what you want for her birthday, and your girlfriend just casually says it, it's just as annoying.
Putting away the Pure Yang Sword, Xu Tong placed a paper figure in the coffin and walked out of the ice cellar.
"Your Majesty!"
When Guo Yi saw Xu Tong coming out, he immediately locked the ice cellar.
After seeing Guo Yi lock the ice cellar, Xu Tong thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Industry to find Yuan Shoushi and ask him to come over!"
