Chapter 859 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

That night, Brother Jin did not go back and stayed in a brothel.

At the third watch, Su Jin and Zhao Hu staggered out and were put on a carriage by the women to say goodbye.

Three black figures flashed out of the shadows at the corner of the street. Seeing Su Jin's carriage disappear, the tall one at the head whispered softly: "Then Su Jin must have had a jehu with Brother Jin. Things have changed, and we must report it to the master quickly."

."

Another person said: "Didn't the master say that if Brother Jin is found to have any unusual movements, he will be killed immediately? Why don't we rush in, find that guy and kill him."

The tall man waved his hand and said: "No, Su Jin is with Brother Jin Jehu, but he has not been taken into custody. This means that Brother Jin has not revealed his secrets yet. We cannot act rashly. It is better to ask the master for instructions. Besides,

How can you guarantee that there are no Su Jin people around here? Didn't we see dozens of Su Jin's men outside the Shi family's house? They have been following him for several days. How could you let Brother Jin alone in the brothel without sending someone to him?

Manual surveillance?"[

The two people beside them both nodded and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense."

The tall man said: "You two are watching here. I will go back immediately to ask the master for instructions. Don't act rashly. Even if you do, there are many people here and it is not the place to do it."

The two agreed in unison and bowed with their hands raised. The tall man looked around and ran into the darkness, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.



Su Jin's carriage arrived at the corner of the street. Zhao Hu jumped out of the carriage and turned back. In the backyard of the brothel, Ying'er had already opened the small door and was waiting. Zhao Hu followed Ying'er to the house where Brother Jin was resting.

Next door, he was lying on the bed in his clothes; Su Jin told him to protect Brother Jin tonight, and also to prevent Brother Jin from escaping and hiding without keeping his promise.

After one night, early in the morning, Brother Jin called a carriage from the garden and drove home. At the same time, the people sent by Su Jin who were originally guarding the Shijie Mansion also evacuated with great fanfare.

All under the eyes of hungry wolves watching in secret.

Last night, after learning the news, Xia Song immediately issued an order to kill Brother Jin, but asked to wait for a good opportunity to do it. Although Su Jin's sentries all evacuated, it seemed that Brother Jin had not revealed any flaws, but Xia Song

More and more, he felt that it was wrong to leave this scourge behind. Sooner or later, Su Jin would think of this person. Killing his eloquence would be the end of the world.

The method of action must not be to kill openly, but to make Brother Jin disappear without anyone noticing, creating a sign that he left the Shi family on his own, so that those who have doubts about the case will not feel abrupt and confused.

suspicious.

Just after Chen hour, the figure of Brother Jin, who had returned to Shi Mansion, appeared secretly at the back door. He changed his clothes and dressed up as a young man in green clothes and a small hat. He also had some unknown substance smeared on his face to make his skin complexion.

Dark, but even so, it did not escape the sharp eyes of Xia Song's men.

When Brother Jin quietly headed north carrying a heavy package, seven or eight people dressed like ordinary market traders followed him.

The people following were very experienced. One person surpassed Brother Jin and walked in front to see if there was any suspicious person. The seven people behind him delayed for hundreds of steps, just to see if there were other suspicious people around. Although they looked at

Su Jin's people evacuated, but despite Xia Song's numerous warnings, they were still more careful because even their master Xia Song said that this Su Jin was extremely cunning and they should never take him lightly.

Brother Jin hurriedly walked up Beimen Street, turned a few forks, bypassed the back wall of Kaifeng Mansion, walked north for five or six miles, and then set foot in the wilderness again;

Pedestrians gradually became fewer and fewer, and the village was hidden among green trees and thorns. When Wu Qi Temple was in sight, from a distance, it seemed that only Jin Geer was left in the area for several miles.

The wasteland outside Wuqi Temple was originally the location of the city's cemetery. In Bianliang City, which has a population of one million, people died almost every day. The cemetery gradually expanded its territory. Gradually, the area around Wuqi Temple became a place for pedestrians to stop. Weeds grew wildly and withered.

The trees are overgrown and it is very deserted and lonely.

Several Xia Mansion experts who were decorated with Jin Geer in the distance were following through the dead trees and grass on the roadside. They had gathered together, and the disguised baskets, vegetables, etc. had been thrown to an unknown place. They were holding the

They are all shiny steel knives.

"Brother, this kid is really good at picking places, and he actually ran here. After we bring him back and kill him, we will have to work hard and bury him on the spot."

"Hey, I'm afraid you don't know, but his money is hidden here. This guy is very smart. He dug a grave and hid the money here. If I wasn't afraid that he would jump over the wall, I would have gone out to spend it today. Today

It can be legitimately taken away, and we brothers can each share dozens of taels."

"Hey, it's a good feeling. Let's catch up and take action. This is a good place to do it."

"Don't panic, let's quietly gather around him while he digs out the money and chop it all over. The hole he dug out is just perfect for burying himself, and it saves us the trouble of having to work."

"My eldest brother is still smart. It's really not easy to dig holes and bury people in the cold weather. Look, that kid took a wrong turn."[

In the distance, Brother Jin looked around for a few times and then turned around and entered the fork in the road, which led to the cemetery outside Wu Qi Temple.

"Speed ​​up, let's outflank him from both sides." The tall brother waved his hand.

Everyone nodded in agreement, speeded up their wrestling, and followed up, slowly following the waist-deep grass on both sides of the fork to surround the cemetery.

Brother Jin's heart beat like a drum. He had actually felt that someone was following him for a long time, but he still didn't know whether these people were Su Jin's men or the men behind the scenes who wanted to kill him. But what Su Jin told him last night

It is very clear that after staying in the brothel for one night, he pretended to escape secretly the next morning and came to dig for silver outside the Wuqi Temple in Beicheng. Although he knew that there was no silver in the tomb, Brother Jin still followed Su Jin's instructions honestly.

He ordered him to take out a shovel and dig the soil.

A big hole was dug out of the grave. Brother Jin didn't know whether to continue digging. He heard the rustling of the grass on both sides of him, and then eight big men quietly appeared in front of him on both sides.

Holding a steel knife in his hand, he looked at himself with a ferocious smile.

Brother Jin was shocked and asked: "What are you guys doing..."

The tall thug took a step forward and said with a smile: "Master Jin, you are so forgetful. Don't you remember me?"

Brother Jin immediately recognized this person as the contact person who went to Lao Gu's house to buy calligraphy, painting and seals. He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "This good man, I didn't say anything. I followed your instructions and kept it tight-lipped."

The tall man smiled and said: "You did a good job. You did not report as promised, but... you didn't go to others to report, but others found you. I am also very helpless. If you want to blame, please don't blame me. Just

No wonder Su Jin's nose is so good that he sniffed you."

Brother Jin was shocked: "I didn't tell him anything. On the contrary, I tricked him into believing that I was involved in this matter."

The tall man said: "There is no way, my master has given an order, he cannot take this risk, so you must shut up forever."

Brother Jin said: "The villain will fly away to a place where no one can find him. I will never let Su Jin see the villain again. I beg you heroes to spare my life."

The thugs burst into laughter, and the tall man laughed and said: "Stop talking nonsense, you have lived a happy life for a few days, and you have hugged dozens of fans from several brothels. It is worth dying."

, why bother to linger too much, be happy, wipe your neck clean, I will give you a happy life."

Brother Jin suddenly jumped up and ran wildly, shouting: "Help, Mr. Su, help me."

The thugs laughed loudly and said: "This kid has lost his mind and gone crazy, Mr. Su? Where did Mr. Su come from? He said he didn't confess to Su Jin, and now he has revealed his secret."

The tall man waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense to him and be honest with him. It's a cold day. Let's go back and have a few drinks to warm ourselves up. I've been tortured by this kid a lot during this time."

The crowd even claimed to be chasing after them. Brother Najin panicked and ran straight towards Wuqi Temple. The tall man laughed and shouted: "This is a dead end. There are ponds to the southeast of the temple. No wonder I didn't warn you."

"

The thugs also laughed and said: "He wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. That would save my hands and feet."

Brother Jin ignored him and ran towards the temple with his head down. Soon he arrived in front of the dilapidated temple gate. The tall man walked very fast. In order to save the effort of playing hide-and-seek with Brother Jin in the temple, he speeded up.

The footsteps caught up with Brother Jin just before he stepped into the temple door. He stretched out his big hands like cattail leaf and grabbed the back of Brother Jin's neck. He lifted Brother Jin up in the air with just a lift.

The thugs ran behind and cheered loudly: "It's still the big brother's kung fu skills. He is a goshawk fighting a rabbit, so clean and neat."

Before the cheers ended, I saw the big man holding Jin Geer standing still. What was even more incredible was that Jin Geer actually broke free from his hand and threw it to the ground, got up and slipped into the temple.

Everyone was puzzled and rushed to ask questions, but saw their eldest brother standing blankly without answering. Someone came around to take a look, and suddenly screamed in fright, pointing at the tall man's chest and speechless.[

When everyone rushed to take a look, they were so shocked that they flew away like birds and beasts.
