Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 114
"The second half of your life, plus the second half of Shao Xumi's life..." She paused for a moment, looked at the baby in Li He's arms, and her eyes fell on Xu'er's snow-white and tender face.

"You can keep this son safe for the rest of your life, right?"

Li Laoshi was speechless for a long while, then suddenly raised his head, his stern eyes pointed directly at Li Heshi's face: "I told you to let you..."

"It's none of her business." Duan Mucui interrupted Li Laoshi coldly, "She listens to you very much, no matter how you ask her, she never confides a word. Especially..."

She pointed to the scratches on her cheek: "Especially... she also scratched my face!"

"Duanmu..." Seeing that the question was turning into a personal grievance, Zhan Zhao spoke at the right time.

Duanmucui was unhappy: "Is it okay to talk about it?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly.

"If you don't tell me, how do you know about the road money," Duanmucui picked up the paper bag, "don't blame me for cutting it into pieces."

Li Laoshi's body trembled.

"Does this kind of thing need to be considered?" Duanmucui sneered, "I cut up this paper bag, and there is no transaction for road money. Shao Xumi is dead, and you are dead. One life is worth one life. It's a pity to keep I don’t know how to live with my widows and orphans in the future..."

"Miss, please be kind!" Li Laoshi suddenly knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed through the prison bars, "I said, I said yes. It's just this paper bag, the girl must not cut it, otherwise Xu'er will... It's ruined..."

Li Laoshi finally confessed.

It turned out that Li Laoshi's ancestor was a wandering hexagram. Not only did he make offerings to Lu Mei, but he was also familiar with the saying that Lu Mei bought roads in exchange for roads.It's just that in the generation of Li Laoshi's father's generation, they turned from industry to business, so the so-called divination and Xuanmen techniques have all become floating clouds.

Just as Duan Mucui said, Li Laoshi was lonely and homeless since he was a child, and he lived and worked hard for decades in order to make a living. Although he was not rich, he was satisfied.Not long ago, it was Xu'er's grasping week, and Xu'er was among all kinds of things, grabbing pens and inkstones, and the couple were even more delighted.

After Xu'er caught the week, Li Laoshi suddenly thought of the Lu Mei catcher's sign left by his ancestors. Although he didn't believe it, he took it out with great interest, avoiding others to try.

Unexpectedly, after trying three times in a row, all the "dead end" signs were grabbed!

At this point, Li Laoshi choked up.Zhan Zhao and Duanmucui looked at each other with compassion.Li He turned his back and wept uncontrollably.

"Little man... no matter what kind of suffering you suffer, it doesn't matter." Mr. Li wiped away tears with his sleeves, "It's just, my son... I really can't bear my child's suffering, especially if there is no way out... The villain just wants to pave the way for him." It's a better way to walk, that's why... then I dug out the volumes left by my ancestors, and found this... method..."

"Where is the sign for the volume now? Does anyone else know about this?"

"It's all at home, put it in the second drawer under the chest of drawers, and the girl can take it away. Except for the villain, no one else knows about it. When the villain caught Xu'er, not even the lady was there. "

"By the way," Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of something, "Why did you choose Shao Xumi to kill? How do you know that the rest of Shao Xumi's life must be good?"

"Shao Xumi is the villain's cousin..." Li Laoshi's voice became lower and lower, "It can be regarded as a collateral branch of the Li family. When he was born, he also captured Lu Meizhou. It's just that he is already considered an outsider, so he has not I can get the family heirloom volume..."

"Shao Xumi died in his prime, such a fate, is it considered a good fate?" Zhan Zhao sneered.

Li Laoshi didn't dare to say anything, but Duanmucui answered: "His death is equivalent to his life and path being cut off... But if he doesn't die, the path of the rest of his life will not be bad."

Zhan Zhao didn't say a word, and it took a long time before he said, "Then this matter, that's it?"

"What's that?" Duanmucui couldn't understand.

Li Laoshi and Li Heshi became panicked, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually boiled like boiling water.

"For his own selfishness, he killed others, causing Shao Xumi to die... Do you want to let him get what he wants?"

"So..." Duanmucui hesitated for a moment, "You want me to cut this paper bag?"

"Master Zhan, Master Zhan, you can't do it, Master Zhan." Li Laoshi kowtowed like garlic, "Then Shao Xumi is dead, and the younger one will pay for his life, and he will pay for his life. I don't owe him anything. What's the matter. But Xu'er, Xu'er is innocent. Master Zhan, you have a chivalrous heart, do you have the heart to see Xu'er go to a dead end in this life? Master Zhan, Master Zhan, I beg you to be merciful! My lady, please forgive me! Don't you want to ask Mr. Zhan?"

Li He, who had been in a daze for a long time, came back to his senses, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and walked up to Zhan Zhao's legs step by step: "Master Zhan, Master Zhan is sorry for our orphans and widows, please be careful about this matter." If you close your eyes, you are our great benefactor, Xu'er kowtowed to Mr. Zhan..." While speaking, she pressed Xu'er's little head and kowtowed to the ground.Zhan Zhao was furious, and reached out to grab her wrist: "What are you doing!"

"Master Zhan!" Li Heshi burst into tears, "Please forgive me, Lord Zhan..."

For a moment, the death row was full of weeping and kowtowing.Zhan Zhao was anxious, but he had no choice but to sigh heavily, turn around, and never look at the two again.

"Thank you Mr. Zhan, thank you Mr. Zhan!" Li Laoshi knew Zhan Zhao to some extent, seeing his situation, he knew that he was probably loose, so he kowtowed in tears.

Li He let out a long breath, and lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to raise any strength.

Duanmucui looked at Zhan Zhao, then at Li Heshi, and suddenly sneered: "How can you be so cheap!"

Before Zhan Zhao could react, he felt a light in his hand, the giant que had been pulled away by Duanmucui, when he looked back anxiously, he saw a flash of white light, and the sword edge slashed towards Li He's neck.

"Duanmu stop!"

"Miss!"

With a thud, Li He fell straight back, his eyes rolled white, and he passed out.Fortunately, Xu'er wasn't hurt—Xu'er didn't cry, her bright black eyes rolled around, and she stretched out her hand to sway in the air.

When he looked down, Li He's hair was bald, revealing a shiny scalp, and all the bun and bottom hair were shaved off.

Li Laoshi was so frightened that he could not speak for a while.

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to ask, "Why do you... avenge yourself publicly?"

Duanmu Cui let out a snort, sheathed the giant que, and threw it back at Zhan Zhao: "Who says I'm avenging the public? I only have a private relationship with her, so where is the public?" Then he turned and left, Zhan Zhao sighed, really didn't want to see her again When they saw Li Laoshi and his wife, they followed them out, and only ordered the guards in the prison to look after her, and when Li Heshi woke up, he sent her out.

When I went out, I met Duanmucui, and first went to the house of Li Laoshi, a tea shop facing the street, to pick up the scroll and signature.The only one left in Li Laoshi's house is the old lady who is the gatekeeper. When the official came to the door, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Duanmucui went into the house to find things, went to the stove, and stuffed them all into the stove.

The flames ignited, and the bright red light directly reflected into Zhan Zhao's clear eyes.

Duanmucui didn't think it was enough, so he bent down to add a few handfuls of firewood to the stove.

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Such a way-buying sorcery just disappeared?"

"Who knows?" Duanmucui patted the dust on his hands, "Who knows if there will be a second or third Li Laoshi in this world, let's get rid of one."

Zhan Zhao sighed softly: "Lao Li has opened a tea shop in front of Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and he is honest and honest. My brothers in Kaifeng Mansion and I often eat at his place."

"Why, pity him?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "I just feel that it's cheap for him. In order to change the way for Xu'er, he was going to risk his own life. It's his own fault, but what's wrong with Shao Xumi? Now that everything is settled, he just feels that everything is going well for him." The wish is that the wicked will not get evil rewards, and they will feel awkward and always feel uncomfortable."

Duanmucui comforted him: "Even if you don't want to let him go, what can you do with him? Are you really going to cut a paper bag and leave Xu'er in a desperate situation?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly: "What a child."

"Let's not talk about this." Duanmucui tilted his head, "Zhan Zhao, I'm hungry."

"hungry?"

Duanmucui curled her lips: "Didn't you say that you want to take someone to dinner? When things come to an end, you don't admit it."

"How can you deny it?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go to Ma Xing Street." Duan Mucui excitedly said, "Zhan Zhao, Li Laoshi's case is settled, right? Is it okay tonight? Let's go to Ma Xing Street to eat, shall we? After eating, shall we go to a puppet show? "

Zhan Zhao paused, but didn't answer her immediately.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Zhan Zhao's expression was wrong, Duanmucui was a little strange, "Zhan Zhao, you don't want to watch it, do you?"

"No." Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, reached out to gently hold her hand, "Duanmu, I have something to say to you."
