A quarter of an hour after the smoke entered the room, a hand tore through the window paper and reached in, opening the window. Then a man with his face covered jumped up.
"Oh, it was so easy to get this one thousand taels of silver."
The masked man muttered to himself.
He walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and was shocked to find that the person lying on the bed was holding a tube-like object in his hand and looking at him.
"You're not dizzy?" The masked man was shocked at first, then asked, "You're not Zhao Lin, who are you?"
"Who are you? Why did you kill Zhao Lin? I will shoot you to death if you don't tell the truth." asked the female assassin.
The masked man felt the power of the pipe and raised his hands and said, "My name is An Ye, I'm a professional killer. Someone offered me 1,000 taels of silver to kill him."
"So you are Dark Night, nothing more than that." The female assassin said disdainfully.
An Ye asked carefully: "Who are you?"
"Hmph, you don't deserve to know my name. Who hired you?" said the female assassin.
An Ye said: "We have rules in our business. We do things for money and never ask about the employer."
"Then there's no point in keeping you?" Zhao Lin said while lying on the ground.
"You didn't faint either?" The female assassin and Dark Night spoke at the same time.
The female assassin was surprised.
She was very alert and woke up in time when she noticed the noise, so she didn't faint.
How did Zhao Lin respond?
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "I have insomnia."
Zhao Lin had been thinking about the current situation and the road ahead. Before he fell asleep, the dark night came. He could only blame his bad luck.
An Ye sighed and said, "I accept my bad luck. Let me go, and I will never accept any missions related to Master Zhao again. How about that?"
"no."
Without waiting for Zhao Lin to speak, the female assassin said, "As a killer, you will never give up until you achieve your goal. Letting you go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain. You will definitely come back again in the future."
An Ye's face darkened. "So, you really want to fight me to the death? I, An Ye, have built such a great reputation, so I'm not incompetent. If I must fight to the death, I'll inevitably have to drag the two of you down with me..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Without waiting for An Ye to finish speaking, the female assassin pressed the switch, and suddenly dozens of needles bloomed like pear blossoms in a rainstorm. An Ye was shot through the body without any reaction, and dozens of needle holes appeared on his body.
An Ye's face showed disbelief.
thump!
He fell down in the dark night and died.
Zhao Lin said anxiously: "Oh, why did you kill him? The employer hasn't asked yet."
The female assassin snorted coldly, "He doesn't know. Assassins like them all take orders in one place and don't know who their employer is."
"Okay." Zhao Lin regretted.
The female assassin asked, "Who hates you so much that they would spend so much money to kill you?"
Zhao Lin sighed, "I don't know either. Maybe I accidentally offended someone."
The female assassin asked, "What should we do now?"
Zhao Lin stood up, felt around on Anye's body for a few times, and pulled out some banknotes and odds and ends. He said, "Count him as one of your gang, and let Feng Siyuan handle it."
"That's fine... No, aren't you tied up?" The female assassin stood up from the bed.
Zhao Lin flexed his wrist and said with a smile, "I happen to have that little experience."
In his previous life, Zhao Lin was very reckless and had been kidnapped, so he learned some techniques to break free.
The female assassin stared at Zhao Lin, who waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. We're all on the same path. I'll take you out of the city tomorrow."
Zhao Lin called the shop owner. When he heard that there was an assassin, he was scared out of his wits and immediately sent someone to report to the police.
A quarter of an hour later, the city defense forces came hurriedly.
"Sir Zhao." The person who came was a squad leader of the city defense army.
Zhao Lin said, "The assassin must be the same group as the one who assassinated Lord Feng during the day. Take him away and investigate carefully for any clues."
Upon hearing that it was the group of assassins from the daytime, the team leader immediately panicked and said, "It's our incompetence that prevented us from catching the assassins in time and disturbing the lord."
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you. Who would have thought they would come to assassinate me? Okay, take the body away. There's no need to alarm Lord Feng."
The team leader breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Zhao Lin is from the capital and is a guest of Feng Siyuan. If he really makes a fuss about it, he and his people will at least be scolded.
The city defense forces quickly cleaned up the scene, and the store owner gave Zhao Lin another room, and the matter was over.
the next day.
Zhao Lin came to say goodbye to Feng Siyuan.
Feng Siyuan sighed, "Last night, an assassin actually tried to kill Young Master Zhao. This truly infuriates me. These people are truly too bold. I will investigate thoroughly and will not let them off."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir." Zhao Lin said.
Feng Siyuan said, "I have already sent your poem to the capital by express horse. The general manager will surely be very pleased to see it. Mr. Zhao, we will need each other's help in the future."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Of course. I, Zhao Lin, know how to repay a favor, if nothing else. Lord Li promoted me, and I would risk my life to repay him. Lord Feng helped me, and I would naturally repay him."
"Okay, I like young people like you who are straightforward." Feng Siyuan was delighted.
Zhao Lin said, "Then I will not disturb you from searching for the assassin. Goodbye."
Zhao Lin, along with Su Di, Gao Junliang, the female assassin, and Feng Siyuan's brother-in-law Liu Xiong, a group of five swaggered out of the city.
After leaving the city, the female assassin quietly left and disappeared without a trace.
Gao Junliang pretended not to know, Su Di didn't care. Liu Xiong, a drunkard who only got his position because his sister became Feng Siyuan's concubine, didn't even notice that someone was missing. He patted his chest and said to Zhao Lin from his horse, "Don't worry, Master Zhao. My brother-in-law said, if you see anyone you don't like, just tell me and I'll beat him up."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Liu. This is your advance payment for beating someone up."
Zhao Lin took out a silver note worth one thousand taels, which he had searched from An Ye yesterday, and handed it to Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong grabbed it and said with a smile: "I, I'm so sorry, I don't want to receive anything without doing anything, hahaha..."
Zhao Lin said, "So it's an advance payment. Beating people is tiring, and we can't let Lord Liu beat them for nothing. Ten taels of silver per person, pay for a hundred people first, and then add more when there are more."
"well."
Liu Xiong nodded repeatedly.
Where can you find such a good thing as making money by beating people up?
Liu Xiong made up his mind that no matter where he went, he would beat up anyone he saw without Zhao Lin asking, and he was not afraid that Zhao Lin would not give him money.
"high!"
Sudi secretly gave Zhao Lin a thumbs up.
Gao Junliang also nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Zhao really makes the best use of everything."
Zhao Lin smiled slightly. What did he want to see when he ran to find Feng Siyuan? Wasn't it this?
"Next, I'm going to officially start."
Zhao Lin was riding on his horse, looking into the distance. The sun had just risen, and golden light was pouring down, with dazzling light everywhere.
"I need to show Li Xingye my ability. Not only will I not disturb the people, but I will also benefit them. More importantly, I need to successfully complete the task of transporting flowers and stones from Jiujiang Province, and let everyone, including the emperor, know my name, Zhao Lin."
