An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Under the palace wall, both of them were wearing bright red cloaks. The older two had white hair, but they were both meticulously combed.

From the appearance, he does not look like someone who is assassinating or blocking someone, but rather like a high official who has something to do with the palace.

"His accent doesn't sound like that of a barbarian. Since you are not a barbarian, why should you work for a barbarian?"

"I'll give you double the amount of money the barbarians offer! If you think it's not enough, how about three times?" The visitor's voice was gentle, giving people a warm and friendly feeling, but it sounded vaguely coercive.

Lin Shu took two steps forward, seeming to be quite interested in the visitor's words. He glanced at him back and forth, as if he would just leave if the price was right.

"I think three times is not enough! Too little!"

"And I don't think you can make the decision. Otherwise, how about you ask the emperor to come out and we can discuss it face to face?"

"To show my sincerity, I swear to God that I will never do anything. How about that? Think about it?"

The conclusive words sounded somewhat sincere to the visitor, who lowered his head and pondered for a moment. In the end, I still felt that this move was too risky, and I really couldn't make the decision for the emperor.

Before he could speak, Lin Shu chuckled and said, "I said you can't make a decision, but I am a fair person in business. I will tell you a price. If you can afford it, I will keep my word and leave immediately."

"Tell me and listen."

"Sir, how much do you think the lives of a family of nine are worth?"

The visitor didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Lin Shu with a slightly confused look, a little confused. What kind of family of nine? How could the emperor's family only have nine members?

For a moment, he didn't understand what Lin Shu meant. He didn't dare to say anything else. That's how business is. It doesn't matter if you don't know what the other party wants. Just don't let the other party know what you want.

Obviously the person here understands this.

"What? Are you mute?" Lin Shu pressed forward step by step, not giving the visitor a chance to delay.

"It seems that Lord Zongzheng still doesn't want to give up the money. I thought Lord Zongzheng could make sacrifices. Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness..."

"Who are you?" Zuo Zong Yuanlin still didn't understand that he had been teased by the other party just now. It's just that he hasn't left the palace for so many years, who else knows his identity? And from the tone of his voice, he seemed to be very familiar with him. At least he had met him before, so he had some impressions, but he couldn't recall it.

People are indeed old!

Lin Shu didn't say anything. He just reached out his hand and untied his cloak, revealing a bright red shroud. "I wonder how much you think you can buy the life of a great master?"

"Who are you? Why are you so secretive? The Grand Master doesn't even dare to reveal his identity?" After taking off his cloak, Yuan Lin was still confused. He really couldn't remember the identity of the other party, but one thing was certain, he must Get to know each other.

"My lord, you are such a noble person who forgets things so much."

"Back then in Jiangnan, my lord ordered my whole family to be killed! What? Have you forgotten?"

"I'm Lin Shu, the number one scholar in the first year of Jingde!"

Lin Shu's face turned slightly red. When he mentioned the word number one, the pride had completely disappeared, leaving only unconcealable sadness. If I hadn't been in high school back then, maybe I would have had a family full of children and grandchildren by now. How could I have ended up with my whole family dying, leaving me alone to survive?

After saying this, Yuan Lin's face changed drastically, and he looked at Lin Shu in surprise, not knowing what to say. I didn’t expect to meet him now. I used him as an excuse more than twenty years ago. I didn’t expect that I would still use him as an excuse more than twenty years later.

"Oh, Scholar Lin..."

Yuan Lin looked at Lin Shu who had a sulky look on his face, and his thousands of words turned into just one sigh. He shook his head and continued, "I'm sorry for you..."

"No! How can a grown-up be sorry for a villain? You're just sorry for the nine members of the Lin family underground!"

"Over the years, I have already felt that the end is approaching. If I don't avenge the death of my family, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. You've been so prosperous and wealthy these years, bitch, why don't you come with me!"

"It's useless to talk more, I just want to kill you!" Lin Shu said at the end, he seemed much younger, even his slightly bent waist was straight, and his eyes looked at Yuan Lin with a bloodthirsty light.

"Oh, why bother?" Yuan Lin sighed softly, his true energy flowing around his body, and he stood up out of thin air and looked down at Lin Shu.

He still remembered that Lin Shu before him was less than twenty-five years old when he won the first prize, and now he was only in his early fifties. He was so old, no wonder he couldn't recognize him.

Lin Shu didn't say anything else, and his true energy surged out from his body. The overbearing and domineering true energy was like the sun in the sky, forcing the warriors in the distance not to dare to raise their heads and look up at the sky.

"How many grandmasters are there in the damn palace? Judging from the fluctuations of zhenqi, these two are also grandmasters. Damn it. The world has not seen grandmasters for many years. Today, we met four of them!"

"This trip to the capital is worth it!"

"Who are these people? Next time you meet me, see if I can hug their thighs."

In the restaurant, the warriors gathered at the window and watched the people in the sky talking.

"Don't even think about it. You're a sixth-grade person, and you're hugging the Grandmaster's leg. Hahaha. He's so angry that his ashes have been blown away by you, hahaha."

"It's true, no one can look down on me as a fourth-grade person, let alone you..."

Someone immediately interrupted his complacency and said, "Brother, in the eyes of the Grand Master, your fourth grade is no different from sixth grade."

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the humor of the people in the world seemed to materialize at this moment.

"Hey, who are those grandmasters?"

The laughter turned into silence after the words were spoken. Everyone looked at each other, and almost no one knew. Finally, a man who had seen the world finished the wine in his glass and explained gently.

"I don't know about the others, but the first one who should be the ancestor of the Silijian, Eunuch Feng..."

"Eunuch Feng? Is it true?"

"It can't be wrong! Eunuch Feng captured three ghosts outside the pass. I happened to be there and saw it with my own eyes!" The older man smiled proudly.

The person who spoke earlier nodded, which was considered to be his approval.

The restaurant was noisy and lively. In the corner, an old man with a mustache held a wine glass and sipped the wine in the glass. He looked towards the direction of the palace with a puzzled look and murmured in a low voice.

"Three Grandmasters against two Grandmasters, is the current emperor crazy? Didn't he notice the three people entering the city?"

"Besides, why isn't Lu Wenyu here?"

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, he didn't believe that the current emperor would joke about his life, there must be some arrangement he didn't know about.

The old man poured himself a glass of wine and looked towards the north worriedly.

"I don't know what happened to that kid? He really wants money over life..."
