"Brother Jianghu, tell me, who does Sister Nuanxin want to kill?" Wang Jiajia frowned: "Can she deal with the murderer by herself?"
"What else did she say to you specifically?"
"She said that she and her sister used to work as maids for an official family in Chang'an. The master of that family was very kind to the sisters, but later, her master made a friend who was eloquent and had some abilities.
But in private, she spoke frivolously to her sister and even touched her.
One day, her master held a banquet. The disciple went back to his room to rest on the pretext that he was too drunk, but he tried to molest her sister. Her sister threw herself into a well to protect her innocence.
Afterwards, she wanted to avenge her sister, but her master didn't believe her and kicked her out of the house.
In the past three years, she has studied under a master and practiced hard, just to avenge her sister. She wants to kill the disciple with her own hands and pay for her sister's life."
"What else? Did she mention any information about the traitor?"
"No." Wang Jiajia shook her head: "Brother Jianghu, what should we do? I'm really worried about Sister Nuanxin taking risks alone."
I patted Wang Jiajia's shoulders with both hands: "Silly girl, what can we do? We can't help her kill people, right?"
"Murder?" Wang Jiajia became frightened: "If Sister Nuanxin becomes a murderer, then..."
"Jiajia, although Nuan Xin saved you, her origin is unknown, so you should not get too close to her. You took her home last night and let her stay for one night. You can already repay her.
Sorry. Do you still want her to live in your house?"
The look in Wang Jiajia's eyes at me suddenly became unfamiliar: "Why do you say that? I have grown up so old, it is rare to have a close friend. She can tell me her secrets. She trusts me so much, how can I drive her away?"
, let her be exposed on the streets?"
"No, Jiajia, that's not what I meant..."
"Okay, don't follow me, I will go back by myself!"
Watching Wang Jiajia run away angrily, I didn't know what to do.
This girl has always had low self-esteem because of the scars on her face. Except for Fatty Wang, Aniang and I have basically never spoken to anyone since she was a child, let alone made any friends.
This warm heart is about the same age as her, and she is kind to her. She must cherish this hard-won friendship, so she doesn't hesitate to get angry at me. But how can she let a person who is about to become a murderer live in her home?
It's not a wise move at all.
…
However, Wang Jiajia could no longer listen to me and even ignored me for several days.
Every day, the two of them would still go wandering on the street. No, looking at the warm eyes, it was obvious that they were looking for someone. Was it looking for the person who killed her sister? Didn't she say she already knew the residence of the deceiver?
?Is that person often away from home?
"Hahahaha, oh, what did you do to make this little lady angry?"
I secretly pulled Wang Jiajia aside again, but the persuasion was still ineffective. Seeing her chasing Nuan Xin and leaving, I was still hesitating whether to follow or not, but a voice behind me laughed.
"Su Xiaolu!" I looked back and called out his name. This man's sinister features made him unforgettable.
"Haha, look at how big the sun is. How about I treat you to some herbal tea?" Su Xiaolu said with squinted eyes.
"No." I turned around and left.
"Hey, Li Jianghu, I have something important to do with you."
I looked at him with disdain: "You can just do the stealing thing yourself. I won't report you for the sake of helping those orphans. Why are you looking for me? Do you still expect me to accompany you to commit adultery?"
division?"
"No, no, no, I know you are a good person and will never let you do bad things. I just treat you to a bowl of herbal tea and take you to meet someone by the way."
"Meeting whom?"
Su Xiaolu smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you now. You'll find out when you go."
I hesitated. I was not familiar with this Su Xiaolu, so how could I follow him? Who could he take me to see? Birds of a feather flock together, and people who stay with him are definitely not good friends.
.
"What? Are you scared?" Su Xiaolu teased: "A grown man, you don't dare to follow me to the teahouse in front to have a bowl of tea in broad daylight? I see you just came out of Jianghu Inn after eating noodles.
, if I’m not wrong, I’m afraid I only have one hundred and ninety-seven cents left on me, right? Are you still afraid of someone seeking your money and killing you? Don’t worry, I’ve already stolen from you, and I will never try to steal your money again.”
"Who's afraid? It's just a bowl of tea, isn't it? Well, I have to order a pot of good tea and get back the money you stole from me."
"Well, that makes sense, let's go!"
I followed Su Xiaolu into the teahouse. Because it was still early, there was almost no one in the shop. When the waiter saw the guests, he greeted them with a smile: "Two guests... oh, it's you, haha, you are the distinguished guest you invited.
We have arrived and are waiting in the private room on the second floor. Tea and snacks have been served."
"Ah? He ordered tea and snacks? How much did it cost?" Su Xiaolu muttered distressedly and quickly ran towards the stairs.
But I stopped and said, "Who are you going to take me to meet?"
"Oh, you should meet first. I will introduce myself when the time comes. Don't worry, I didn't reveal your name to him. If you don't agree, he can't pester you and you won't lose anything. Come on, come on.
, are all at the door."
"Agree to what? What do you want to do?"
I was pushed by Su Xiaolu to the door. Su Xiaolu carefully knocked on the door and listened, but there was no reaction at all.
The two of us looked at each other, and Su Xiaolu pushed the door open and walked in: "Xiao Mu, you are here! Why don't you say anything?"
Xiao Mu!
I was startled and stepped into the house. I saw a scholar wearing a light gray gown sitting at the table inside, holding a piece of melon and gnawing happily. He ate boldly and his cheeks were bulging, like an angry puffer fish.
What a Xiao Mu!
He also recognized me at a glance, but his mouth was full and he couldn't speak. He just nodded towards me.
Su Xiaolu looked at the bottles and cans and plates of fruits on the table, and his face darkened: "Almond cheese, sour plum soup, loquat dew, Sanle pulp...and grapes, melons, peaches, apricots, and plums."
...You...why did you order so many things? Didn't you just order a pot of tea?"
Xiao Mu tried his best to swallow what was in his mouth, and pointed to the teapot in the middle of the table: "Tea, here you go. The waiter said that this tea is the best in their teahouse, and it's called Mengding Stone Flower. Hey, anyway, I
I don’t have much research on tea. I tasted it and it all tasted the same, not as good as these drinks. And this fruit is really fresh.”
"You...have you brought any money?" Su Xiaolu took a long breath, and I could feel that he was almost suffering from internal injuries.
Xiao Mu seemed to be completely unaware. He picked up another peach and gnawed on it: "What money do you bring? I never bring money when I go out. Aren't you treating me?"
"me……"
"Li Jianghu, why are you here? You..." Xiao Mu pointed at me and then looked at Su Xiaolu: "Is he the person you want to recommend to me?"
"Brother Mu." I smiled at him. Seeing that he hadn't finished eating the peach in one hand, he picked up a bowl of white drink with the other hand and drank it. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for him. After all, he was also someone close to the imperial envoy. This
How can you eat like a starving ghost reincarnated?
"Do you know each other?" Su Xiaolu was confused.
Xiao Mu finished his drink and nodded vigorously: "Li Jianghu, just like you, he is an elite spy I am training!"
"What?" I was shocked and pointed at Su Xiaolu: "He...he is also your candidate for spy?"
Xiao Mu nodded affirmatively: "Yes. I told you before. The identity of the secret agent is not important, but his ability is the most important."
"Then...then my vice-captain?" Su Xiaolu looked disappointed.
"Anyway, if he can't do it, you can look for him again."
"Okay. Then you wait for my news. If you find it, I will bring it to you for review." After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, he smiled mischievously at me: "Haha, brother Jianghu, you know, I still have a group of children to raise around me.
So, I am very poor."
I was stunned, waiting for him to say more. But he suddenly walked outside, shouting: "Xiaoer, what kind of tea do you have here? Find them all and let me see."
"Sit down and eat." Xiao Mu burped and finally had his hands free. He washed his hands in front of the washbasin stand next to him, then picked up the fan on the table and started shaking it.
I looked at the pile of food, swallowed my saliva, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Su Xiaolu.
"Eat quickly! Don't let the money go to waste." Xiao Mu said, patting his chest. It looked like he couldn't put it in anymore.
"Su Xiaolu doesn't have any money either. These things are quite expensive, aren't they? I wonder how many people he has to steal from to earn back this meal." I picked up a piece of melon and ate it.
Xiao Mu sneered: "Su Xiaolu is now an elite spy, but he is illiterate. If there is information in the future, he may not be able to read the secret messages, so I asked him to find a trustworthy person to be his deputy captain. I really didn't expect that.
He will find you."
"What?" I thought I heard wrong. Maybe Xiao Mu just deliberately provoked me. I was a little unbelievable: "He...he has passed the review? He is a thief...I..."
Xiao Mu suddenly covered his stomach: "Ah, I seem to have eaten too much. Can I go to the toilet?"
I peeled the loquat and replied contemptuously: "Go, go, no one will stop you."
Xiao Mu walked to the door and came back with a smile: "Where is Su Xiaolu?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Didn't you go to the waiter to look at the tea leaves?"
Xiao Mu sat down and said, "Do you know why he reviewed it so quickly, but you are still reviewing it?"
I rolled my eyes at him: "Because you are partial, you have assigned me some difficult tasks. That Li Huichun, I have been following him for half a month, and I really haven't found anything unusual. I don't even know what to do."
How can I send you a message?"
Xiao Mu smiled: "Forget it if we didn't find it. I have sent someone else to check it. There is no problem with Li Huichun."
"You...are you trying to trick me on purpose?"
Xiao Mu said seriously: "Since you didn't find any abnormality, it means that he is not a meticulous worker. You can just report it and say that there is no problem. Why don't you have the confidence to trust your own judgment?"
"I……"
"Su Xiaolu has left a long time ago. If I just left as an excuse to go to the bathroom, do you think you can afford this with the one hundred and ninety-seven cents in your wallet?"
"How could he do this?" I was greatly surprised. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that although Su Xiaolu was not kind, he was indeed smarter and more decisive than me.
Xiao Mu threw a piece of silver on the table: "The imperial envoy thought Su Xiaolu was pretty good and rewarded me with ten taels of silver. These are my treat."
"Really?" I was a little doubtful and a little worried: "Then do I still have a chance?"
"Looking at your performance, you must find something valuable. Otherwise, how can I recommend you to the imperial envoy?" After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he sighed and turned around.
I gritted my teeth and chased after him: "I found a suspicious person!" This chapter has been completed!
