Daming Junior Scholar

"What can there be?" Mei Niang couldn't help but snorted coldly, took the tin box, and said disdainfully, "Could it be money?"

While speaking, Meiniang opened the iron box, and then a dazzling silver light came out from the box, seeing the box full of ingots, Meiniang's eyes immediately became straight.

"How about it, you must be capable." Zhang Jiuzhi couldn't help laughing smugly when he saw his wife's foolishness.After the excitement, Mei Niang calmed down again, and immediately realized in her mind that the money probably did not come from a good way, maybe her husband did something outrageous to get so much money, but it is not true for wealth. The longing made her choose to deceive her heart, put the lid on the box again, and said impatiently: "Sir, why don't we run away now."

Chapter 354

Shilipu under the night looks a little deserted and weird. The vitality of the whole village seems to be exhausted during the day. At night, there is not even a ray of light to be seen. The silver-white moonlight shines on the village On the small road, it adds to the

There are countless dark corners.At this moment, there was a faint "squeak" in the night, and then disappeared. There was a pause for a moment, but a figure suddenly slipped out from nowhere, sneaked around and found that there was no one nearby. stand

Ke tiptoed and ran towards the west end of the village.

The black shadow came to the outermost room in the west of the village and stopped. Turning over, he turned over from the low wall and quietly came to the door. He listened carefully for a while, and then knocked lightly. door.

One or two sounds, probably because Hei Ying was afraid of disturbing other people in the village. The knock on the door was not loud, but he was very patient. Finally, after a while, there was a slight movement in the room, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

"Me." Hei Ying replied softly.

"Who are you?" Obviously, the people in the room did not recognize who this person was.

"I, Nine Fingers." The black figure was Zhang Nine Fingers, but at this time he had already changed into a black suit, and even his face was covered with a black cloth, making it impossible to tell the difference. Find out who he is.Hearing that it was Zhang Jiuzhi, the people in the room were not interrogating him. After a while, the door was pulled open from the inside, revealing an old face. By the candlelight in his hand, he glanced at Zhang Jiuzhi. Zhang Jiuzhi was also very nervous. Cooperatingly pulled off the face towel, the old man

Only then did Han believe it and quickly waved his hand to let him in.

"When did you come back?" It was obvious that the old man didn't know that Zhang Jiuzhi had returned to the village, and the expression on his face seemed a little cloudy against the candlelight. "Noon." After entering the room, Zhang Jiuzhi seemed to be a different person, and he was no longer so cautious. He sat down on a chair casually, and then grinned: "I lied to those dogs The officer said that Zhang Haolin asked me to kill people, so

They just let me go. "

"So simple?" The old man was obviously suspicious.

"Of course it's more than that." Zhang Jiuzhi said bitterly: "The gang of dog officials even ransacked my house and confiscated all the valuables. What the hell, I really want to kill these dog officials."

The old man blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Then why did you come here?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the officers and soldiers took away all the things in the house, and didn't even leave me a grain of rice, so I'm reminded of old Uncle Zhong, can you lend me some more money. Zhang Jiuzhi stretched out his palm with a calm face.

"I said Jiuzhi, what do you mean? Yes, I asked you to kill the man, but you didn't settle the matter well. It stands to reason that I should ask you for money." Called Old Zhongshu The expression on the old man's face was obviously unhappy.Knowing that the silver would not come back so easily, Zhang Jiuzhi retracted his hand, and said with a self-deprecating smile on his face: "Old Uncle Zhong, you can't say that, yes, you have already given me the silver, but I have done things for you too.

It’s just that it didn’t work out, and the other four of my brothers all died at the hands of the officers and soldiers. Do you have to pay for the compensation money? "

"You..." Old Zhongtou was obviously annoyed by Zhang Jiuzhi's words, and he glared and said, "Jiuzhi, you can't say that. You have to. I don't want the money I gave you. Is this the head office?" "No." Zhang Jiuzhi shook his head bluntly, and this time even the uncle stopped calling, and said directly: "Old Zhongtou, are you confused when you are old? I came to you so late, and you thought it was for fighting your sympathy? are you kidding now

I'm giving you two choices, first, give me money so I can escape. "

"What about the second one?" Old Zhongtou glared at Zhang Jiuzhi with a fierce look on his face.

"The second is even easier. I'll go to the Yongcheng county government office now and tell the dog official that it wasn't Zhang Haolin who ordered me to kill, but you, Zhang Zhong." As soon as Zhang Jiuzhi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Zhang Zhong's eyes were almost narrowed, and he clenched his right hand tightly because of anger, but the nine fingers and one pair of dead pigs looked like they were not afraid of boiling water, and there was a cynical expression on his face, Suddenly he pulled out a dagger from his waist and played it in his hand, as if he said to himself: "Since I came today, I don't plan to go back empty-handed. Anyway, I have so many lives on my body.

One more or one less doesn't matter. "

As if frightened by the opponent's dagger, Zhang Zhong's body obviously relaxed a lot, and he said unwillingly after a while: "I only have a dozen taels of silver at home, do you want it or not?"

"Only so much?" Zhang Jiuzhi showed a trace of unwillingness on his face, afraid that Zhang Zhong would lie to himself, he simply said, "Okay, old Uncle Zhong, take me to the place where you hide the silver."

Hearing that this meant that he couldn't believe what he meant, Zhang Zhong hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, you come with me." With Zhang Zhong in front and Zhang Jiuzhi behind, he went around a door and walked into the back room. Jiuzhi was also afraid that Zhang Zhong would suddenly be unfavorable to him, so he was very careful all the way, until he entered the back room and nothing strange happened, so he was relieved.

Come on, watching Zhang Zhong come to a box, take out the key and unlock the lock on it, just when he was about to open the box, Zhang Jiuzhi suddenly said: "Slow down."

Zhang Zhong's hand stopped suddenly, he looked back suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, old uncle Zhong, back off and let me do it." Zhang Jiuzhi was afraid that Zhang Zhong would do something, so he simply asked him to back off first.

"Okay." Zhang Zhong nodded helplessly, and retreated to a corner of the room by himself.Glancing at Zhang Zhong's position, Zhang Jiuzhi leaned against the side of the box. Afraid that there would be something like a mechanism inside, he deliberately opened the box cover with the dagger in his hand. After waiting for a while, there was nothing there. what flying arrows or something

After Xi came out, he stood up and took a look with his head, but the inside of the box was so dark that he couldn't see where the silver was, so he took the candle in his hand and reached into the box.At this moment, I seemed to see a black lightning flashing in the box, and before Zhang Jiuzhi could react, I felt like I was bitten by something on my wrist, 'Oh!' With a scream, the

The candle also fell directly into the box.When the candle fell into the box, the candle was still burning for a short while. It was at this time that Zhang Jiuzhi finally saw that there was no silver in the box. There was a snake with a withered yellow pattern on the bottom of the box. it's triangle

Zhang Jiuzhi, who had a small head, knew that this was definitely not an ordinary poisonous snake. In just the blink of an eye, it was as if he couldn't feel his arm, and his vision began to blur.

"Old Uncle Zhong, please, help me." Zhang Jiuzhi felt that his body's strength was rapidly disappearing, so he hurriedly begged for mercy while he was still awake. "Hehe, help you?" Zhang Zhongfei didn't intend to go forward, but took another step back, and said with a sly smile, "Jiuzhi, you've reached this point and you're still playing tricks on old Uncle Zhong? These five steps Although the poison of snakes is powerful, it is not so poisonous

It will work soon, want to trick the old man?It's not that easy, and there's not much time left. If you have any unfinished wishes, hurry up and say so. ""go to hell. "At the last moment of his life, Zhang Jiuzhi exhausted his last strength and threw the dagger in Zhang Zhong's direction, and then softened.

Chapter 355

The candlelight that had been on for a while suddenly went out, and the room became quiet again as if nothing had happened, but there were a few pairs of puzzled eyes in the darkness, staring at the courtyard of the clock in puzzlement. look in a big

Living people, why haven't they come out for so long?Did he live here?While several people were guessing wildly, the door of the yard was pushed open silently, and then an old head poked out from the yard, seeing that there was no one around, then opened the door again, and then carried the a hoe towards the village

out to the fields.

Things became more and more weird, what did this old man do in the middle of the night?Several people discussed it, half of them continued to stay, and the other half followed quietly.

The old man didn't go far, but stopped after walking dozens of steps, then raised his hoe and began to dig in the ground.

Why does this action look so familiar? During the day, Zhang Jiuzhi also pawed the ground like this. Although I don't know what he dug out in the end, it is probably something similar to gold and silver.

Could it be that everyone in Shilipu Village has a hobby of hiding gold and silver in the ground?It's just that the old man's hole is really too big, right?

After a long time, the old man finally dug out a deep pit. After wiping the sweat off his forehead, the old man threw away the hoe and went home again.Another moment passed, and then the figure of the old man appeared at the door again, but this time, the black shadow increased a lot. When the old man walked under the moonlight, several people could see clearly the old man's back. Carrying one

People, and seeing the old man's strenuous movements, his back is probably dead.A few people immediately thought of Zhang Jiuzhi who had just entered the room, and their faces suddenly showed surprise expressions. How powerful was Zhang Jiuzhi when he assassinated He Jiaan a few days ago, but why did he fall into the hands of this old man? this old man too

Can't you become a martial arts master?

Thinking of this, several people felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly lowered their bodies a little more, watching the old man push Zhang Jiuzhi's body into the pit, and then buried it with soil.The speed of filling the hole was much faster than digging it, and the hole was buried in a short time, and the old man found some dry soil from around and sprinkled it on it, until the camouflage was almost complete, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief , dragging his tired body back home

. "What should we do? To dig or not to dig?" Several people were suddenly in a dilemma. The key point was that they didn't know if it was Zhang Jiuzhi buried in the soil. If it wasn't Zhang Jiuzhi, where did that nine finger go?And who is this old man?

Could it be that he ordered Zhang Jiuzhi to assassinate He Jiaan?

A series of questions made several people overwhelmed, and after discussion, only one person could only rush back to Yongcheng overnight to report to He Jiaan, while the rest of these people continued to stay here to monitor the old man's home.

When He Jiaan got the news, the sky was already pale, and He Jiaan, who had just washed his face, was still a little confused. After listening to what the scouts said, he fell into silence.That Nine Fingers dug out the silver from the ground as soon as he got home, he obviously wanted to run away, otherwise there would be no need to dig out the silver, wouldn't it be better to put it there, Then he sneaked into someone else's house at night, which proves one thing, he is going to complete a very important thing, and it is very likely that he believes that he will not come back here again, and intends to settle everything , if it is a common thing, of course it is white

It can be done in one day, but he chose to do it in the middle of the night when no one is around, which means that this matter must be shameful.

There is only one shameful thing he has done recently, and that is to assassinate himself.

Thinking of this, He Jia'an almost found a clue, thought for a while, but ordered: "Tang Lin, go and invite Zhang Yuanwai." Tang Lin responded, turned around and went out from the courtyard. When he came back, there was another person behind him, and this person was Zhang Haolin and Zhang Yuanwai who were brought back that day. When he saw He Jiaan, his face was full of compliments.

Smiling, he said repeatedly: "Master He, please come here, do you have any orders?"

He Jiaan gave Zhang Haolin a seat with a smile, and then asked, "I want to ask the staff, who lives in the family at the westernmost end of your Shilipu Village?"

"The west end of the village?" Zhang Haolin was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly after a moment of consideration: "Your Master He is asking about that clock?"
