Chapter 67 The Road to the Rivers and Lakes
"Miss Qiqiaoer, what you are hiding is so deep!" Zhou Gan coughed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"You have recognized me long ago?" The man in black was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"But it was not that early. It was probably after you sent Xiang Feihe to assassinate me, and I decided it was you!"
"oh?"
"Actually, after Madam Hu was killed by you, I was a little confused. In terms of martial arts, Madam Hu was not first-class, but his skills were not good, and he was not the worst on the ship. Moreover, she was suspicious by nature. As the owner of the sixteen flower boats in Luodu, it was impossible for her to have no means. If I were an assassin, I would never choose her as the target of assassination. Then, I have two doubts, why should I assassinate her? How to assassinate her?"
"Your second choice is mouse, an assassin who is alert and very cautious, and is the most difficult target, but it is fatal with one blow, which is a bit weird."
"I can understand that you assassinate her, or to frame her. After all, Brother Hu had fought with him, or to divert his sight and hide your true purpose; but I still don't understand how you did it? Or how did you gain their trust? I can't figure it out."
"I know there are indeed some shameful means in the world, but the same method is so effective against two people, so I have to think about what connection is there."
"Later, I went to check the body of Madam Hu secretly," Zhou Gan's voice was a little low, "Although it was covered in scars, there were no fatal injuries, and it was obviously all caused by torture."
"I thought instead that maybe it was not a 'unique' method, and if the murderer could gain their trust, the same effect would be achieved-"
"At least the shocked expression before the mouse died can be explained-"
"What kind of person can temporarily gain the trust of the madam and the assassin, especially the premise that there are a large number of fierce martial arts heroes on the ship. My answer is women, or pretty and cute girls. People often feel relieved of beautiful and harmless things, especially for these two people."
"Miss Hu is due to his nature and identity. He has a strong vigilance towards men, but he is more tolerant and pity for women. If she hadn't been too protective of her, the woman on her boat would probably not have ended well. It is precisely because of this that she offended many people and gained a great reputation in the world. However, she did not expect that one day she would die at the hands of a woman."
"The mouse is an assassin, and his nature is due to his identity, so he has few close friends. It is rumored that the only time a mouse made an exception to violate his principle of "not killing women, not killing children" was that he was angry and killed because several prostitutes forced the girl he bought to pick up customers. I also imagine that if I were a mouse, if there was a coquettish and cute girl on the boat respecting me, praising what I did, and even admiring myself, I think the mouse would let go of his guard."
"There are four women on the boat, Yi Xiedie, Sun Xiaoniang, Feng Xian'er and you. Of course, you are the first to rule out. After all, you were next to me before Madam Hu died. Now, this is a wonderful move, and Feng Xian'er then ruled out. First of all, she knows how to do martial arts, and she has no motivation. Even the chance I gave her secretly, she turns a blind eye to Yi Xiedie and Sun Xiaoniang. But I have tried these two people several times. If they were not just clumsy or they were acting very well, and there was some time when they were obviously inconsistent with the murderer, which left me helpless."
"Why can't it be Wang Hu?" Qi Qiaoer interrupted, "Even if there are some doubts, your elder brother is the most likely!"
"Brother Hu will never do this!" Zhou Gan said decisively, "Even if I know he is fighting with the mouse, even if I don't know what his purpose is, I will never believe that Brother Hu will do this. My elder brother is definitely not such a person! Because he is my elder brother."
"So you deliberately arranged for Wang Hu to pretend to be the murderer to lead me to the bait?"
"Yes," Zhou Gan calmly said, "Even without Wei Guang, there would be 'Li Guang' and 'Wang Guang' and others who accidentally discovered the 'real murderer'. But they didn't expect that the Tang Sect joined forces to perform this good show for me. Although it exceeded my expectations, it obviously had a better effect. Moreover, your purpose should be to stop me from participating in the treasure of the First Emperor. Slaughtering two people alone would not complete your task and would not make you get money from your employer. I know that you have always been concerned about money."
"And you don't know that before you assassinate Mr. Hu, Yi Yun had entered his room. When he saw Brother Hu outside the door, Yi Yun jumped out of the window and ran away. The window must be open. The wind was biting and the water was cold that night, and ordinary people would close the window. Mr. Hu liked heat and disgusted with coldness, and that night, when Mr. Hu died, the window was open!" Zhou Gan's eyes were burning, "This window must not be opened by Mr. Hu. Who opened it? Since Brother Hu was not the murderer, there was only one explanation. The murderer jumped out of the window. I have observed that all the windows were closed by the river wind that night, so the murderer had only two roads, either entering the deck or going to the stern of the boat. So I met you on the deck, right?"
"So smart," Qi Qiaoer took off the black veil and said with interest, "Is there any?"
"I didn't understand why Madam Hu screamed in front of me, but when I checked Madam Hu's body, I accidentally found a small hole the size of a pinhole behind his head. At the location of his zen point, if he was temporarily stimulated, it would cause the human body to suffer several times of pain. After torture Madam Hu, you injected a lot of anesthetics into it, and then inserted it into its zen point with a silver needle. After evacuating it, no one would doubt you, because you are right beside me, and this is the darkness under the lamp!!!"
"It's so good. When I killed Madam Hu, it seemed like you were by my side." Qi Qiaoer smiled cleverly. Her cute appearance made people feel distressed, but it was such a cute girl who did such a vicious thing!
"There is no trace of tying the corners of Madam Hu's mouth, and I can't think of any other reason." Zhou Gan sighed and said: You have another flaw. When you testify against Brother Hu today, you should have taken the benefits of the uncle and nephew of the Tang clan. You know that I am a sworn brother, but you are still like this. I think based on our friendship, if you have no inside story, at least you will notify me to be sold for it. This is not in line with your personality."
"Yes, it turns out that I still have some weight in your heart," Qi Qiaoer said, "How about you discuss it and put me in a code?"
"I, Zhou Gan, have never been a person who is very wise. If you kill others, I will turn a blind eye and let you go. But if you kill Madam Hu and torture her like this before you die, you are no longer a cute girl who is just a little greedy for money two years ago," Zhou Gan said word by word: "Killing someone pays off. I want to ask you for your life for my friend!"
"Hmph! What's the point of Madam Hu?" Qi Qiaoer said disdainfully: "Just a bitch, he still thinks he is a good person. He can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north after a few good words from his sister. I hate people like her the most! What kind of loyalty! What dignity! What kind of morality! Even a copper coin is not worth it!"
"Have you tried the taste of having no food after being hungry for seven days and seven nights? Have you ever seen a father who sold his daughter for fourteen cents? Have you seen a woman who slept with more than a dozen men for a full meal? You have never seen anything!!!"
"Power, status, men, women, love, family affection, as long as you have money, what can't be bought? Honglian taught me five million taels of silver, and Wei Guang gave me one hundred thousand taels of silver. This kind of transaction, a fool would not do anything, and a fool would just fight you for nothing!"
"Why do you think I want to listen to you talking nonsense?" Qi Qiaoer smiled coldly: "Because I have already lit the soul-spreading fragrance around me. Yes, it is just that kind of colorless and tasteless medicine that makes people weak. I forgot to tell you, is this kind of strange fragrance expensive in the black market for 100,000 taels of silver? So what if your sword skills are high? Can you still hold up your sword now?"
"Since you can buy anything, it will naturally include your life!!"
"Your life! One hundred thousand taels of silver is a piece of it!"
"Luckily, I'm far away, otherwise wouldn't it be even a tael of silver?" Lou Yuxiao's voice came from the bottom hatch.
"Haha! The Yangtze River pushes the front waves! The people on the entire boat were played with by this little girl and applauded, and I, Tang Sect, almost used as a gun," Fei Yue laughed, as if the conspiracy a few days ago was not designed by him.
"At least in this matter, the Beggars' Sect and Wang Hu are innocent." Tu Yue shook his head and followed him in. There were also two heroes, Mo Shaoguan and Wu Zier.
"If I don't say that nonsense, how can I prove Brother Hu's innocence? You must know that just the day before yesterday, Brother Hu was accused of being the murderer by everyone." Zhou Qian said self-deprecatingly.
Qi Qiaoer's heart suddenly sank. These people are all masters. Even the worst among them, Wu Zier and Mo Shaoguan were not far from being a first-class level, and he could not win by himself one-on-one.
‘No, there is still a chance!’ Qi Qiaoer was cleared up, ‘Zhou Qian has already inhaled the incense of ecstasy. As long as he takes the opportunity to control him and then kill Wang Hu in the chaos, he may not have a chance to turn the tables!’
He paused his feet, and he ran towards Zhou Qian with all his strength. His hands flashed, shooting out more than a dozen silver needles, pointing straight to his limbs.
Zhou Qian used a move of "Dark Clouds and Moon", which was a sword move learned from the Cloud Strategy of Fuyun Hands. He specialized in hidden weapons and poisonous arrows, and his arms were stormed back and forth, making a "rattle" sound. The Ghost Master Sword rolled up a series of airflows directly in front of him with a mysterious trajectory.
The airflow caused the Yin Needle's accurate head to scatter, and sparks splashed on the surrounding walls. Qi Qiaoer was shocked and just wanted to reach out, she felt a pain in her five fingers!
Blood shot out, Qi Qiaoer didn't expect Zhou Qian's sword to be so fast, it was so fast that it was terrifying.
"This is for the mouse!" Zhou Qian said coldly. Zhou Qian had almost never got angry. No matter when it was, few people knew his tyrannical and crazy side.
‘Brush-’ Qi Qiaoer’s arms were cut off directly, and the blood dyed the ground red.
"This is for Miss Hu!"
Qi Qiaoer was finally defeated by pain and fear. She found that there was something more important than money, that is life! Her own life! She wanted to beg for mercy, she wanted to survive, but she had never seen Zhou Gan's side. She was so indifferent, and she looked like a chicken and duck to be slaughtered!
"You are from the Jianghu, and I am from the Jianghu, so let's follow the rules of the Jianghu!"
The sword rises and the head falls!
"Killing someone to pay for his life, hurting someone to cut off his arms-"
