Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 536 Hands-on

  He Dong has no shortage of adopted sons.

  He Cheng is one of them, and he is a relatively marginal figure. I am afraid that He Dong himself may not even remember that he has such an adopted son.

  Backing to his own yard, full of anger, he kicked the servant girl away:

   "Go, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath!"

"…yes."

  The servant girl's clothes were thin, her body trembled when she heard the words, and she flinched back in fear.

  In this season, it is not an easy task to maintain the hot water needed for bathing, and it takes a lot of time to chop firewood and boil water.

  The master's family is also a person who can bear his temper, and he will inevitably be beaten severely.

  Hearing the word bathing, the servant girl felt despair in her heart, her eyes were dead silent, and she was like an unconscious puppet.

   "Fuck!"

  Backing back to the room, thinking of what happened in the gang today, He Cheng became more angry:

   "My original surname is Wu, but now I have changed my surname to He, and still bullies me like that, at worst, I will quit!"

   "He Ming, do you think that you are a warrior?"

   "And that **** He Fang, don't give me a chance, or I will tie you to the bed and find ten or eight big men..."

   "Where is the person?"

   After roaring and venting for a long time, he glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he couldn't help shouting:

   "Is the water ready?"

   "Damn it!"

   Cursing angrily, He Cheng was about to go out and teach the maids at home a lesson, only then could he show his 'masculinity'.

   "Crunch..."

   Before he could push the door, the door had already been pushed open from the outside, and a person walked slowly.

"Ok?"

  The familiar appearance in the strangeness made He Cheng look surprised:

"You are…"

   "Peng!"

   Before he finished speaking, someone came forward and slashed his neck with a knife. He Cheng rolled his eyes and passed out.

   When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in my own courtyard.

  It was getting dark.

  The bonfire of dead branches was burning beside him, a long blood-stained knife was stabbed obliquely into the ground, and a tall and burly figure was squatting on the bluestone.

  Hearing the movement, Zhou Yi looked sideways with cold eyes:

   "He Cheng?"

   "It's...it's me." He Cheng moved his body, but found that his body was trapped by the hemp rope. He couldn't help being horrified, and tremblingly said:

   "Big... Hero, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

   "It seems that you don't recognize me?" Zhou Yi sighed softly and said:

   "My name is Zhou Yi, the Lin Family Nursing Home walking out of Jimin Lane, have we met?"

   Zhou Yi?

   This is an unfamiliar name.

  But the Jimin Lane mentioned by the other party, as well as the Lin Family Nursing Home, reminded He Cheng of that unpleasant encounter a long time ago.

   It seems like two years ago, right?

   "Yes."

  Opened his mouth, He Cheng smiled dryly:

   "If the Zhou Nursing Institute came to me for something, why bother..."

"what!"

  Before he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed and wailed loudly, his body twitched again and again, but the long knife on the side pierced directly into his thigh.

   "I ask, you answer."

  Zhou Yi leaned forward, his face flickering against the backdrop of the swaying flames:

   "If the answer doesn't satisfy me, you should know what the consequences will be!"

   "Yes, yes," He Cheng turned pale and nodded desperately:

   "Excuse me, Zhou Nuyuan, I will definitely say it, I will definitely say it!"

   Zhou Yi said:

   "He Dong has been doing population business with the Red Lotus Sect, right?"

   "This..." He Cheng showed hesitation.

   "Poof!"

   Just a little hesitation, the long knife was already pierced into the other thigh.

"what!"

  He Cheng looked up to the sky and screamed, the veins on his neck were bulging, and his face was ferocious:

   "I said, I said!"

   "Father... He Dong has always been doing human trafficking. He has been doing it all these years, including cooperating with the Red Lotus Sect."

   "It is precisely because of this business that he earns a lot of money quickly, that's why he is highly valued by Hall Master Wen."

   "Oh!" Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes and asked:

   "Xu Liu, do you still remember?"

   "I remember, I remember." He Cheng nodded again and again:

   "That guy has deep trust in He Dong, and many things are entrusted to him, including recruiting refugees and buying and selling people."

"correct!"

  Remembering something, He Cheng said anxiously:

   "Xu Liu is a small-minded person, and anyone who offends him will take revenge. It is said that several people robbed him of the house at the beginning, and later he sold them to the Red Lotus Sect as sacrifices."

  He said here, his voice suddenly paused, subconsciously looked at Zhou Yi, his throat rolled, and his eyes were full of fear.

  The one who killed Xu Liu couldn't be this one, right?

   "..."

   Zhou Yi looked gloomy and asked:

   "Sacrifice, what is it?"

   "The Red Lotus Sect enshrines evil gods, and evil gods like sacrifices. The more precious the sacrifices, the more precious the sacrifices. Naturally, living people are the best sacrifices." He Cheng said cautiously:

   "The price they paid was very high. When there were many refugees, He Dong took the opportunity to make a fortune."

   Live sacrifice?

   Zhou Yi's eyes contracted.

   After a long time, Fang said slowly:

   "How is He Dong's strength?"

   "He has never practiced martial arts." He Cheng shook his head:

   "At least I haven't seen him practice martial arts, nor have I ever fought with anyone, but the hall master arranged a visceral martial artist beside him."

   "Oh!" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows:

   "Besides this visceral refiner, who are the warriors around him?"

   "He Ming and He Fang are his godsons and goddaughters. Because of the resources He Dong provided, they are leather warriors." He Chengdao:

   "He is accompanied by two guards from time to time, both of whom are warriors. As for how strong..."

   "I don't know."

   One for viscera and four for skin. He Dong himself has no martial arts.

  Zhou Yi didn't think He Cheng would lie, at most he didn't understand clearly enough.

   After all, for a local gang, the visceral warriors are already masters, enough to protect one side, and the Lin family is a special case.

  As for He Dong not knowing martial arts?

  Even if you know how to do it, it’s useless if you haven’t practiced it for so many years.

  Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. There will never be another person like Zhou Yi who has a permanent certificate like Zhou Yi.

   Now asked in a slow voice:

   "Where is He Dong at this time? Where does he usually go? If I want to find him, where is more suitable?"

   "Ah!" He Cheng's cheeks twitched:

   "Could Zhou Huyuan plan to attack He Dong? I advise you not to."

   "Why?"

   "Over the years, He Dong has offended many people and has been assassinated several times, so no matter where he goes, many people follow him, and no one can take advantage of him."

   "I don't need you to worry about it." Zhou Yi's face remained unchanged:

"Say!"

   "What I said." He Cheng swallowed, and said:

   "Will you let me go?"

   Zhou Yi smiled lightly, but his eyes were cold.

  *

  *

  *

   "Although He Dong doesn't practice martial arts, his life is very regular."

   "He gets up at 9 o'clock every day, and goes to work at that time. At noon, he will go to one of the three restaurants for dinner, and then return to the Whale Gang's resident until Shen Shi leaves work."

   "After work, he will mostly return to his residence, and a few times he will participate in the drinking party."

"Besides, after work on the first and fifteenth day of each month, he will go out of the city to listen to scriptures at Yinquan Temple, stay there for one night and come back early the next morning, but there are monks in Yinquan Temple, and congratulatory Every time Dong goes, there will be many people following him, which is not conducive to making a move."

  In a dark room somewhere, several people gathered around the desk, looking at the drawings on the table, and listening to one of them gesturing back and forth on it:

   "Interception in broad daylight in the city is also not acceptable. Even if we succeed, we will not be able to escape. Although we are willing to risk our lives, there is no need to take risks. After all, there is only one chance."

   "Overall, the opportunities in He's residence or outside the city are relatively greater."

   "Boss Chang." Someone said in a muffled voice:

   "When we left the city, He Dong was surrounded by a visceral refiner, at least four leather refiners, and two sets of armor. It's just a few of us, I'm afraid it won't work."

   "It's even worse at home!" One person snorted coldly:

   "The person surnamed He has been assassinated several times. There must be many ambushes in the house. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. We rushed in rashly, but we were looking for our own death."

   "Then what should I do?" A big man shouted angrily:

   "It doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Just don't do it according to what you said, and go back to each house, don't mention any grievances."

   "Brother Niu, don't get excited." One person said slowly:

   "It's not good to be frontal. We can use poison and back arrows. There is always a way to think about it. In this world, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent a thousand days from a thief."

   "You are the thief!"

   "I'm just making an analogy, don't get angry."

   "It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Chang Boss shook his head speechlessly, wiping his beard and said:

   "I can temporarily hold that visceral refiner, and leave the others to you. As long as you hold back the skin refiner, it's not difficult to kill an ordinary person with our means."

   "Boss Chang." Someone smiled wryly:

   "You can resist refining viscera, but we can't deal with other people, especially in front of two armored and leather refining warriors."

  A warrior in armor, although his movement remains unchanged, his defense power has been greatly increased. On the battlefield, one armored warrior can even kill a dozen of his peers.

  Refined skin can resist refining and dirt!

   "Don't worry." Chang Lao said:

   "In addition to us, there are two other friends helping this time."

   As he spoke, he tapped his palms lightly.

   "Papa..."

   "You two, come out!"

  As soon as his voice fell, two figures fell from a high place, and landed lightly on the ground. Not to mention anything else, the complexion of everyone present changed slightly just because of this light hand.

   "Good posture!"

  Brother Niu drank sullenly:

   "Have you two been here for a while?"

   "Just arrived."

  The visitors were covered in black clothes, covering their faces. They could only be identified as a man and a woman. Among them, the woman was taller, clasped her fists and said:

   "I have seen you all."

   "Huh!" Someone snorted coldly:

   "Hide your head and show your tail, and don't show your true face, how can we trust it?"

   "Ahem..." Boss Chang coughed lightly:

   "The identities of these two are a bit special, and it's really inconvenient to reveal them, but they, like us, have a deep blood feud with He Dong."

   "Not bad!" The woman said:

   "The one surnamed He and the demon from the Red Lotus Sect are the enemies of our siblings. No matter what else, we will never lag behind others in killing He Dong!"

   "Everyone." Chang Boss looked around at the crowd and said:

   "The strength of these two friends is considered rare in the realm of leather refining, and they have sharp weapons, which are enough to deal with armored warriors."

"also…"

   "They also brought two sets of crossbows."

   "Crossbow?"

   "Didn't the imperial court prohibit rumors?"

   "The imperial court also forbids the private collection of armor. Which force do you think has been obedient? The people in the Yamen also turn a blind eye."

   "Anyway, with the powerful crossbow, as long as you get close to He Dong, you can directly kill him!"

   "Killed with one arrow, it's cheaper for him!"

   "Boss Chang." The man in black said:

   "When are you going to do it?"

   "Today, on the first day of the lunar new year, the person surnamed He will go to Yinquan Temple. I have asked people to follow up quietly and carefully observe the situation of their group." Chang Boss replied:

   "Observe first this time, do it next time!"

   This is a word of caution. No matter how anxious other people are, they know not to be impulsive.

Life,

Only one time.

Chance,

  It is likely to be only once, so it is natural to make sure nothing goes wrong.

   "Clatter..."

  At this time, a flying bird flew from the window and fell into the hands of Chang Boss. This inconspicuous flying bird was indeed a carrier pigeon.

  Take off the letterhead from Asuka's leg, unfold it, and Boss Chang's complexion changes.

   "What's wrong?" the woman in black asked.

   "Things have changed."

   Boss Chang frowned and said:

   "He Dong has indeed started to go to Yinquan Temple, but for some reason, some of the people who followed him split off and went to other places."

   "The number of people who stayed was nearly half less than we expected."

"what!"

"what?"

  Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

  Brother Niu slapped the table and yelled:

   "This is a good thing. It seems that even God is helping us. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us. What else can we say?"

   "Let's go now and kill that son of a bitch!"

   "Don't be impulsive." Chang Boss looked dignified:

   "This matter is a bit strange. It's best to press it before you understand the situation. In case it's a trap... Anyway, I think we should be cautious."

   If it's a trap, someone leaked the news.

  It was hard for him to believe that people here would betray.

   "Maybe..." the masked woman in black whispered:

   "It is indeed an opportunity. With He Dong's status in the Giant Whale Gang, if he knows that someone is going to deal with him, there is no need to set a trap."

   "Just send someone to take action!"

   "There is no need to risk his life, he has always been very cautious."

   Boss Chang's eyes lit up.

really!

  If someone betrayed here, they might have fallen into an ambush by now, and the person surnamed He might have encountered something temporarily.

   "Boss Chang." Someone asked:

   "Where did the person surnamed He go?"

   "A yard in the city." Chang Boss replied:

   "That yard seems to belong to a nursing home of the Lin family?"

   Having said that, he subconsciously glanced at the two black-clothed and masked siblings.

  *

  *

  *

  Under the darkness of night.

  Zhou Yi covered his face with a black scarf and squatted in the shadows in night clothes, looking suspiciously at the figures approaching his yard one by one.

   "What a coincidence!"

   Before he could find the door, He Dong's people had already started to attack him.

Do not!

   Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Yi's eyes fell on a man with a gloomy complexion in the crowd.

   It should not be He Dong, this person seems to be a member of the Red Lotus Sect, so the person who really attacked him should be from the Red Lotus Sect.

   Just relying on He Dong's strength.

  In the past few months, he didn't live in the small courtyard, but anyone who checked it found out that these people didn't know it, and it seemed that they didn't care.

or…

   In the past few months, the people of the Red Lotus Sect have no time to pay attention to themselves.

   This is very likely.

  The Danyang rebels have blatantly colluded with the Red Lotus Sect, and the imperial court is even stricter to investigate the followers of the Red Lotus Sect. In addition, the frontline battles are tight.

  It's only natural that I'm too busy to take care of it.

   Now that the incense master of the Red Lotus Sect has not been able to make a move, it seems that he is still not free.

  Incense Lord,

  The worst is refining dirt.

   Facing a visceral refining martial artist, Zhou Yi was not very sure, but since the one who came here was not such a master, there was no need to worry about it.

   "Shua!"

   With a flash, he rushed forward.

  …

   "Brother Ma."

   He Fang said softly:

   "If this happens, don't forget what you promised me."

   "Don't worry." Ma Gong said with a smile:

   "Everything can be forgotten, but Ma will never forget about Miss He, but this yard in front seems too quiet?"

   "Perhaps, the person has escaped." He Fang shrugged:

   "Knowing that I have offended the Red Lotus Sect, how can I still dare to stay here."

   "Probably." Ma Gong nodded:

   "It's a pity that the situation has been tense in recent months and I haven't been able to come here. Otherwise, I would have terminated this person early on, so why did I delay until now?"

  He Fang smiled without saying a word.

  In the past few months, the rebels outside the city and the imperial army fought repeatedly, and everyone tensed up, and most of them pushed back.

  The two people who were speaking did not realize that a figure had followed them from afar.

   "Poof!"

  The sword flashed.

  The last person who fell was stiff, and was dragged into the darkness.
