Fumbling for the shriveled money bag, he quickly determined that filling his stomach is the most important thing for him now.

Lin Xun carried the unconscious woman to the bed, and cleaned up the traces of the scene. The only troublesome thing was the torn pine wood. He hesitated, broke it into smaller pieces, and raised his palm to pat it into powder.

All of this was done with ease, but it was hard for Lin Xun to feel any relief when he saw his slightly red palm.In his current state, it is obviously not feasible to go through the front door. If he is sent to the government because he has no money to settle the bill, it would be ridiculous and generous.

Looking out from the back window, it is a quiet riverside with a few flower boats docked on the bank. Now it is empty, but it will become a good place to have fun when night falls. After observing for a while, I found that only one or two people pass by occasionally. , looking at the right time, made a simple rope with a bed sheet, and began to climb down slowly.

The knot is not tight, but fortunately it is very light, and it went smoothly at first.When there was still some distance from the ground, the tragedy happened, and the sound of cloth being torn could be heard clearly, instinctively making Lin Xun close his eyes and scratch in the air, as if he was looking for a life-saving straw.

The curtain was hanging from the sky, and he was lucky enough to catch something!

Lin Xun opened his eyes, and found that his face was almost in contact with a strange man. The distance between the two of them was too close, and the other's face was infinitely enlarged, like a flawless jade: God must have loved him very much, with a straight nose, Thin lips, dark eyes like a deep pool, unfathomable.Such an appearance is completely a portrayal of Mr. Pianzhuo Shijia in the writings of literati. However, he gives people the impression of being cold and cold. Even though he is face to face, he feels that the other party is looking down on him.

When he lowered his head, he realized that what he was holding was the waistband of the other party's trousers.

Lin Xun hurriedly apologized, and changed the place where the waistband of his trousers came down.

Those unpredictable eyes widened suddenly, fixed on Lin Xun.

"...I didn't do it on purpose." The corner of Lin Xun's mouth twitched. His head injury was not healed, but he fell from mid-air just now, and now he does everything by instinct.

All men have an instinctive reaction, and he can feel the heat of his hand when he suddenly grips it.

Lin Xun: "If I let go now, will you kill me?"

"What do you say?"

His voice was as cold as a human's, and his eyes seemed to condense ice and snow.

Lin Xun glanced down, but didn't see anything else, but the jade plaque on the man's waist came into view. On the precious jade, there was a big "seal" engraved on it.

At this moment, he didn't know whether it would be more appropriate to use Encounter Road Narrow Road or Meet Narrow Road.

When the man made a movement, Lin Xun immediately put on a fierce look and said, "Don't make a sound, or I will destroy you."

However, his appearance, which can collapse when the wind blows, is really not very convincing.

Anyway, the original body had already been ordered to kill by the Feng family, so he simply went all the way to the black, and directly kidnapped people for ransom.

The idea of ​​banditry has not yet been fully formed, and a call of "Young Master" has already been heard from a distance. Three or four guards looked from their direction, and felt that the young master was pressed against the vital point with a dagger by the thief, so he hurriedly used his lightness kung fu to fly over, and waited for Lin Surrounded by a group of people, only to find that things are more serious than imagined.

"Young master, young master." A guard saw his young master being caught, and his legs softened immediately, and he shouted sharply: "Where is the thief, don't let go!"

Lin Xun ignored him, and pushed the man who was half a head taller than him to the corner of the wall with force, and said viciously: "I can let go, but you have to promise me two conditions."

"Say."

The voice was clearly mixed with murderous intent, Lin Xun trembled, and then hastily clenched it tightly:

"First, don't embarrass me; second, help me settle the money for drinking wine."

No, gone?

Several guards stared at Lin Xun in disbelief, and one of them cursed angrily: "You bastard, is my young master worth the money for a meal?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt that the young master's eyes staring at me were more terrifying than looking at this young man.

Of course, Lin Xun didn't believe that he would really let him go, but one more thing is worse than one less thing, first settle the bill, at least he and Hua Lou's debts are cleared.

After a while, the guard paid the money and went back again. When he came back, he looked at Lin Xun with complicated eyes.

Beasts, they even reserved a room for three days. I heard from the old bustard that the girl is still in a coma. Such a scum is not worthy of living in this world.

Lin Xun, however, kept his promise very well. As soon as the guard came back, he let go of his hand. Before the others could react, his expression changed instantly, and the bully image he pretended just now faded instantly. "This is also forced by life, and you have seen it..."

Eloquently said a few hundred words about how he had no father or mother, and lived a miserable life.

"Originally, I planned to commit suicide for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to meet a nobleman."

"Suicide?" A guard taunted, "Did you jump off a building where you drank flower wine?"

The man didn't say anything, but his eyes swept across the half of the bed sheet floating in the sky.

"Hanging beam." Lin Xun, "I'm going to hang it on the outside."

"Not a word of truth." The man's tone was harsh, his thin lips slightly parted: "Search the body first, and then send it to the yamen."

Lin Xunxin relaxed, he was actually a law-abiding king.

With a bare body and loose clothes, you can tell what's in it just by touching it - just a purse with a few pennies left, and a wooden sign.

Originally, these things were left on the ground, but the older guard bent over to pick them up, brushed off the dust on them, and when he saw the patterns on them clearly, he said 'strange', and respectfully presented the wooden sign to the man before.

Lin Xun could sense that when the man saw the wooden sign, his murderous intent was much lessened.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Lin Xun glanced at the wooden sign. It was dark and useless. The only thing that stood out was the pattern on it. The knife technique was complicated and it was extremely difficult to imitate. It was worth many times more than the wooden sign itself.

This body was originally a tomb robber, who knows if it came out of which tomb, but Lin Xun would have a splitting headache as long as he tried to search for the memory of the original body.

"I've been hanging since I was a child." He made nonsense.

"You said you have no father and no mother," the man's tone was naturally majestic, making people dare not give birth to a heart of deception: "Could it be that you are an orphan?"

Lin Xun frowned and said, "They passed away when I was very young."

The man glanced at him, as if distinguishing the truth from the false, and after a while, he said: "Do you know the origin of this wooden sign?"

Lin Xun shook his head.

"Decades ago, when the rebels rebelled, our dynasty dispatched a hundred thousand troops to wipe out the remnants. However, these one hundred thousand troops suffered heavy casualties. The emperor ordered this wooden plaque to be issued to soldiers who were disabled in the war. This card can be exempted from paying taxes, and you can also receive silver taels issued by the government every year."

With this man's arrogance, if he was sent to the Yamen for what he did just now, even if he didn't die, he would lose his skin, but when he mentioned the remnant soldiers, the man changed his attitude slightly.

"Master." The guard hesitated for a moment: "Should I send this to the government?"

The emperor was kind and issued a wooden sign to give the disabled soldiers the basic guarantee to spend the rest of their lives smoothly. However, after the actual implementation, the relief money has passed through the hands of senior officials, and everyone knows how much is left.

He looked at Lin Xun, who looked like a literati, but was drunk in a flower building, and after thinking that he might be a remnant soldier, he became less harsh.

"That's all." The man spat out two words.

Hearing these two words for the first time, Lin Xun turned around and left: "Great grace, Mr. Zheng remembered."

Helpless, the steps are not small, but it is difficult to move forward.

Lin Xun had no choice but to turn around after being grabbed by the collar: "What advice does this young master have?"

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but the money owed cannot be just forgotten."

Lin Xun was startled.

"There is no need to sign the deed of sale, Fang Yun, take him to work in the mansion, and let him go after paying off."

After giving the order, he went around to the main entrance of Hualou. Fang Yun urged impatiently: "Hurry up, what are you looking for?"

There was a bit of interest in Lin Xun's eyes: "Your young master looks quite lonely, I didn't expect to have a hobby of visiting brothels."

Fang Yun glared at him: "What nonsense, the young master is doing business."

He is not yet twenty, his face is immature, he has not fully grown up, and his speech is easy to lose his sense of control. Lin Xun remembered that this was the person who compared men with money for wine just now.

Walking behind Fang Yun, he intentionally remained silent all the way, and sure enough, Fang Yun couldn't bear it anymore, "Have you seen any strange people in the building these few days?"

"Strange person?" Lin Xun had just the right curiosity on his face.

"It's the kind that is nine feet long and full of muscles. It doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

Seeing the latter still looking confused, Fang Yun said: "Have you ever heard of the ignorant little thief who was ordered to kill him?"

Lin Xun clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves subconsciously, and then slowly loosened them. He said nonchalantly, "I read in the book that tomb robbers are generally short in stature, making it easy for them to go down to the tomb. You guys, why are you so strange?"

Fang Yun said contemptuously: "Can a short tomb robber carry a coffin that only four or five people can lift?"

He said angrily: "If the tomb guard was not timid and fearful, knowing that he had failed in his duty and ran away overnight, how could it be so hard to find it?"

Lin Xunxin calmed down: "What does this have to do with going to Hualou?"

Fang Yun: "I have searched all the places in the city. After listening to the report today, the young master said for some reason that he would go to Hualou and Casino." He also had doubts in his tone: "But these two places are mixed places. How could the tomb robber seek his own death and run in, I reckon he has already left the city."

"I didn't go out in my room for three days."

Fang Yun looked at his paper-thin body with disdain, and thought he was old and wise: "You are not old, but your body was hollowed out early."

Lin Xun didn't continue to discuss this topic with him, and changed the topic, with a bit of pitiful tone in his tone: "Can I ask a question?"

"Say."

"When the debt is paid off, can you pay me the extra wages?"

"I can't be the master."

Lin Xun: "Will you get enough of the meal?"

Fang Yun: "Of course."

Hearing this, Lin Xun couldn't help but nodded, and said two consecutive 'that's good'. Fang Yun stood beside him, feeling inexplicably, but he was young and playful, and he was caught by the street after a short while. Juggling on the Internet attracts attention, so I don't know what kind of tragedy will happen in the future because of my promise to be full.
