Chapter 88
Shen Jiao was in tears.
Zhou Boyan was still adding fuel to the fire: "You haven't seen it before, right? Take a closer look. Don't miss out. If you're not careful, you might only see it in your next life."
"Look at what you're saying, it's as if you think we're some unreasonable monster ready to take our lives at any moment," the purple-robed guest, Ding Yun'er, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Zhou, tell me, are we really that bad? We've all been polite to you along the way."
"After being seriously injured and poisoned." Zhou Boyan added with an irritated look on his face.
Now Shen Jiao knew where the bloodstains on the notice came from without asking.
I feel so regretful.
I am usually careful and cautious in everything I do, for fear of getting into trouble and losing my life. But now, for the sake of money, I have put myself in such a dangerous situation. I don’t know if it is worth it?
Tsk!
Why bother thinking about whether it’s worth it now? It’s good enough that I can save my life.
Don’t you still want to make money?
Zhou Boyan is unreasonable enough, let alone them. It would be a waste of time to reason with the Demon Cult.
Shen Jiao is not that stupid.
Standing quietly to the side, he listened to the purple-robed guest say, "There's nothing we can do about this. It's because you're so disobedient, little brother Zhou. You want to run away when you see us, and you won't listen to a word we say. We can only use some methods to make you quiet down, right?"
Wang Tong, the dwarf who was sitting on the windowsill, swung his short legs and said in a childish voice, "Don't worry, we're all here for money, not for life. As long as you cooperate, we can all get what we want. Hey, girl, you're the same. You want 30%, right? Three thousand gold is easy, we've agreed to it. Your second brother is stingy and wants to send you off hastily and take both the money for himself, but we won't do that."
He said it quite generously.
Shen Jiao has to dare to believe it.
There is only 10,000 gold in total, and seven people give her 30%. Anyone who believes it is a fool.
I'm afraid there's no paper money for the dead?
"Senior, you're joking. The bounty is only 10,000. There are seven of us here, and I'm not doing any work. If I really dare to ask for 30%, I'm a bit too greedy. It's a great blessing in life to be able to meet a few seniors. I don't want the money, so I'll send the people over tomorrow and leave them to you seniors to deal with."
Shen Jiao said sensibly.
"Oh, you are a sensible little sister, but from what I hear, you think we are being unreasonable. It's really sad."
The man in purple covered his chest and sighed, as if he was very sad.
"There are too many wolves and too little meat. No wonder she's worried." Bulaoke advised sensibly, "Girl, don't think too much. If I say 30%, it means 30."
"But..." Shen Jiao still wanted to refuse.
Wufengke Zhao Qinghong said loudly, "But what? I said I'll give it to you, so stop nagging me. Three thousand gold is nothing. Once we find that old bastard, even thirty thousand won't be a problem. Just bring your men and keep your mouth shut."
Shen Jiao was completely confused.
Zhou Boyan kindly explained, "They don't want the reward, they want to know the whereabouts of the doctor."
Zhao Ping, a medical fanatic, is Wei Qian's master. He has mediocre medical skills but loves to study. This is not to say that he has no ability, as he has some ideas in his head. However, he always makes a lot of mistakes when treating unfamiliar patients, so he can only stay in Xuanhu Hall to teach those familiar disciples.
After teaching year after year, he didn't act like a proper doctor, but more like a teacher. Shen Jiao thought that his life was not bad, but he didn't think so. Somehow he suddenly went crazy and determined to teach a miracle doctor who was better than anyone else.
The result is a commercial doctor who won't treat patients without money...
The master of the valley said that his presence seemed to be involved in the epidemic in the three counties that year, but without any concrete evidence, Xuanhu Hall would never admit such a thing.
The final result was that Wei Qian got himself involved, and then he disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Shen Jiao was confused and said, "Dr. Shang has been hiding out for years, so he might not have had any contact with his master. Otherwise, he would have been caught long ago. Asking him...would it be useful?"
"Who do you think helped him escape? Where did his money go? Men from three counties worked for him, and nineteen ships were filled with gold, silver, treasures, and silks. He never exchanged any notes at a bank, nor did he take them away, let alone leave them in the hands of Xuanhu Hall. So where did it go? He doesn't have many friends. I've searched everywhere, and the most likely person to have the money is his master. You already have him in your hands, but you haven't thought of this?"
Zhou Boyan said this coldly, and added a sarcastic remark,
"Your brain is really useless. You haven't used it since you were little. Even now that you're grown up, you're still like this. You can only see a small part in front of you, like a toad in a well."
"You are the toad. Have you ever seen a toad as beautiful as me?"
Shen Jiao had indeed just remembered it.
But Zhou Boyan couldn't have thought of it immediately.
Otherwise, he would have said it long ago, so how could he have made a trip to Jiangnan Road first?
Is it interesting to laugh at someone who is only fifty steps away from you?
"Okay, you look good, you're a frog."
Zhou Boyan sneered.
Shen Jiao wants to hit him!
The Feathered Guest on the rooftop said slowly, "She's not a frog, she's a human, she can't be eaten. Where is the frog?"
He looked like he really wanted the frog.
The old guest shouted upwards, "You have money, what do you want to eat? You should be more mature. You have been a human being for so many years, but you still look like a bird. I just gave you food, and now you are looking for frogs. Aren't you ashamed?"
Fei Yu Ke stretched his neck nonchalantly, looked into the distance and said, "I am a demon."
The shameful thing has nothing to do with him.
Is that what you mean?
Bulaoke looked speechless and covered his face as if he had a headache.
Wufengke at the door also turned his head silently.
Only the purple-robed guest, whose face was covered, showed no reaction. He continued in his winding voice, "Stop joking. People will think we're dishonest. We're so unreliable. We'll make the little girl misunderstand us again."
She raised her leg and walked towards Shen Jiao, stretched out her hand to brush her eyebrows, and scratched her neck with her cold nails. She coaxed her in a very gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, sister. Don't look at us like this. Sometimes we still keep our promises. You just need to kill them and you will be fine. But don't have any bad thoughts. Death is not fun at all."
There was a sudden sharp pain in my neck.
Shen Jiao touched it subconsciously.
The smooth skin seemed unchanged.
"Is this a Gu?"
"It's poisonous," she said with a smile. "It's disgusting to see insects burrowing around under such a nice skin. How could I bear it?"
Her voice seemed to have a hook.
It's so charming that it makes people's ears feel hot and their bones feel soft.
Shen Jiao originally wanted her voice to be like hers.
That was what she had planned!
It took me a long time to learn this voice.
But things don't always go as planned.
Her voice sounded... very honest, honest and gentle.
Just like her appearance, she has nothing to do with being bright and outspoken...
Jealousy made her sad, and poisoning also made her sad.
Shen Jiao said sadly but honestly: "Don't worry, sister, I will be good."
