078 Besieged Zhang Mansion(1/2)

As dusk deepens, on the Qinhuai River, on an exquisite and luxurious boat, the red candles are dimly lit, the lights are dim, and the night is sultry on both sides of the river. From time to time, the sound of women's play and Wu Nong's soft words can be heard, which makes the listeners' hearts flutter.

But at this moment, Su Qing didn't have any intention of appreciating it, but instead felt a little flustered.

"Is this the rich lady you are talking about?"

He stiffened his neck, turned his head and asked Granny Cai in a low voice.

The old man sat aside, looking around curiously, eating snacks in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I heard that her father is a wealthy businessman in the capital, I must be right!"

Su Qing stiffened her neck and turned around again. In front of her was a huge figure with a round waist, a pockmarked face, and rouge on her cheeks. She was holding her butt firmly on a chair, listening to the "creeping" overwhelmed moans.

Su Qing took a breath of cold air.

He didn't notice the dignity, but he could see the appetite of the wealthy family. Who could make a living without any financial resources?

"The slave family has met the young master!"

Su Qing's whole body trembled when he heard a deep voice, but the other person still looked shy and timid. He really had a physique that was indistinguishable from male to female.

There was more than one. The one on the left was very sick and disfigured. The skinny body coughed and said intermittently: "The slave family has seen the young master!"

There was another person on the right. This person didn't say anything. He just looked at Su Qing and giggled. From the moment he got on the boat to now, he has been laughing non-stop. His two thick eyebrows are connected together, but his eyes are small and pitiful, and his fair face is full of pits.

, full of marks the size of peas.

What kind of weird things are these?

In fact, his appearance doesn't matter, the key is his eyes, which seem to be glowing with light.

"Gudu!"

By some strange coincidence, Su Qing, who had gone through several life-and-death fights without any fear, secretly swallowed.

He glanced at Granny Cai next to him. For a moment, he wondered whether the old lady was a killer with evil intentions towards him, and how she could harm him like this.

"We agreed to just take a look, it's time for me to go!"

Su Qing couldn't sit down anymore. She felt like sitting on pins and needles. She looked at the people in front of her and listened to the laughter. Who could sit down?

Granny Cai was eating the delicate snacks on the low table. She hurriedly ate and swallowed, with the residue still stuck in her mouth. Seeing that Su Qing was about to leave, she hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, why are you leaving as soon as you sit down? There are still a few people left."

Coming?"

How many more are there?

The corners of Su Qing's eyes twitched, so she couldn't sit still anymore and left quickly, immediately.

"How much did you charge them?"

He suddenly turned his head.

The old man kept looking at Su Qing and hesitated when speaking. Seeing Su Qing staring at her, she hurriedly said: "Not many, including the young lady, she only took in seven families, fifty taels per person!"

Su Qing let out a long sigh, and while the boat was still leaning against the shore, he ignored Granny Cai and ran down the boat as fast as he could.

"Master!"

Listening to the heartbroken and resentful voice behind him, Su Qing ran faster.

When I got home, I breathed a sigh of relief.

It took him a long time to finish the meal, so he packed up the fish and shrimp he brought back, cooked a pot of fish soup, and made do with it to fill his stomach.

The house is not as empty as before. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, I bought some things at home. Once the tables, stools and bookcases were put up, it finally seemed to be somewhat popular.

Then, Granny Cai came again.

She hurriedly entered the room and sat down. Seeing that she was breathing heavily, Su Qing poured a pot of tea. Granny Cai picked it up and took a big sip. She felt bitterness entering her throat. She had a weird face. She was embarrassed to vomit. It was bitter.

He swallowed it with a face, and then complained: "Ah Qing, what kind of tea is this? It's too bitter, more bitter than the moxa tea I brewed!"

Su Qing took a small sip and said: "This tea should be savored carefully, tasted lightly and drank slowly. One tael of tea costs forty taels of silver, and it was given by the shopkeeper of the tea pavilion!"

"Ah? Forty taels is too expensive!"

After saying it was expensive, she poured herself another glass and took a careful sip. She didn't know what the taste was, and said happily: "It tastes good!"

Su Qing responded softly without raising her head: "If it tastes good, take some back with you!"

Grandma Cai laughed, and took the exquisite tea can that was as high as a palm on the table, put it in her hand and looked at it again and again. "Aqing, your name is getting bigger and bigger, and the things you use are extraordinary!"

"Grandma Cai, is there anything else?"

Su Qing wiped her hands and sighed when she saw that she was holding a tea jar with no intention of putting it down.

"Why did you just sit down and leave before? Could you at least take a look again?"

Granny Cai came closer and said with a smile: "Don't like it? Why don't you leave me a seat at the tea pavilion, and I'll keep an eye out for the young ladies who listen to the music. Maybe there will be someone suitable? I haven't gone up to that place yet.

After that, I just happened to go see the world."

Su Qing said: "Then you won't set up a stall?"

Granny Cai waved her hand. "It's okay, isn't this helping you?"

Su Qing glanced at her casually.

"Grandma Cai, I really don't need your help. Some people's money cannot be taken casually. If you don't even know others, you just make the decision for me. Maybe what you will pay back then won't be money!"

The old woman was startled, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

"Where is what?"

Su Qing inadvertently changed the subject and said warmly: "But just this time, don't accept money from others casually next time!"

Grandma Cai continued to laugh at the side and said: "It's nothing. If you look at it, you won't suffer any loss. If you look at it again, maybe there will be someone who likes it!"

Su Qing said calmly: "See if you can't suffer a loss, it's nothing, but you shouldn't accept money from others, let alone strangers' money, just a few hundred taels of silver will be enough!"

The old man's eyes widened, as if he had been wronged after doing good deeds, and he quickly argued: "That's not what I wanted. Yesterday I went to the tea pavilion to look for you, but I couldn't get in. I told the waiter that I knew you, and they listened.

Go and give me the money, and I will accept it for you!"

"I'm afraid I'll lose all that money. I've deposited it into banknotes. It won't be withdrawn until three months later. Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you when the time comes!"

Low.

Su Qing rubbed the center of his eyebrows, smiled, and said softly: "No, you can keep the money for flowers. Thanks to your busy schedule these days, it's only three to five hundred taels for one performance, but

We have agreed that you don’t have to worry about my affairs in the future!”

Granny Cai said "Hey", smiled again, turned around and left happily with the tea can.

Su Qing shook her head: "Well, it's okay to take advantage of small things, it's harmless, but don't take advantage of big things, or you will lose your life!"

The night is already dark.

With a flick of his sleeves, the lamp not far away went out silently.

The next day.

In the early morning of this day, Su Qing went out with an umbrella. He turned around Peach Willow, passed by Changting Pavilion, and then walked across a winding white stone bridge, and then sat in front of a soy milk stall on the roadside.

The morning breeze was slightly cool and the sky was gray, fearing that another light rain was coming.

"A bowl of soy milk and some food!"

He was asking for something, and his eyes drifted towards the big house not far away, and glanced at the two tightly closed vermilion doors. On the door head, there were the words "Zhang Mansion".

The mansion is magnificent and magnificent. There are two huge and mighty stone lions on both sides of the stone steps in front of the door. This is the home of the then chief minister "Zhang Hairui". Logically speaking, with his status, he should be a high-ranking official in front of the door.

Dignitaries and dignitaries come and go, and the cars and horses are like dragons, but now, there are only a few people, and leaves are piled all over the place.

It seemed that no one had cleaned it for many days, and it seemed that the place had been deserted.

Su Qing drank the soy milk. Of course he didn't come to snatch Rama's body. Besides, now was not the time to do anything. He just came to take a look.

Holding her wrists and drinking hot soy milk, Su Qing's eyes casually fell on a corner not far from Zhang's house. There was a beggar lying there, and a black man pouring night fragrance was swinging around with his excrement.

As I was passing by, when the bucket was shaken, fecal water spilled out from the edge of the bucket, causing the soy milk seller to roll up his arms and sleeves and curse.

There are fishermen dozing on the bridge not far away, as well as the waiters shouting in the inn nearby. Who would have thought that among these inconspicuous characters in the market, when someone turns around, he is the famous Black Stone Killer who kills people like crazy.

He has to see, maybe it won't be long before he has to control these people or kill them.

Including the three killers, everyone must be prepared for hostility.

"Crunch!"

The faint sound of opening the door suddenly sounded on this cold stone street. The closed vermilion door was opened by a narrow crack. A young man, carrying a package on his back, squeezed out secretly, and looked around.

, then close the door and walk out.

But I haven't waited until I walked down those steps.

"Whoosh!"

A wisp of black light several inches long suddenly flashed away and disappeared behind the boy's ears.

"thump!"

Falling to the ground dead.

A donkey cart pulling hay happened to be turning slowly from an alley. The driver wore a tattered straw hat and walked past the gate of Zhang Mansion. The dead people on the ground had disappeared.
To be continued...
