An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

After vigorously shaking off Zhao Jiu's hand, Chen Houye couldn't stop the bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his voice lost some strength when he spoke.

"Money? What money? Of course my money is for my family to take away..."

"Boy, we don't know each other. Why do you ask me for money? Can't Jinyiwei even pay out his salary?"

"Huh? Hahahahaha..."

Zhao's face changed drastically, he picked up Chen Houye by his official uniform, and asked angrily, "Are you going to pretend? Where is the money, where is your money? Silver, white money! Don't tell me that you are a prince." No wealth at all!"

"Raising soldiers costs money...Boy, isn't this what you mean?" Mr. Chen Hou curled his lips and spoke in a frivolous voice.

Grass! My money! Zhao kept roaring in his heart, turned around and gritted his teeth and yelled, "Come here!"

"Somebody come!"

Two thousand households outside the door quickly ran in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Master Zhao, what are your orders?"

"Tell a few people to check out the other six teams, go quickly!"

"Then this..."

"He has taken poison out of fear of crime!" Zhao threw the half-dead Mr. Chen back on the chair, took out a cotton towel and wiped the blood from his hands, "Tell the others not to let him go, and the stolen money and stolen goods must also be seized!"

"yes!"

The two thousand households were ordered to go out, leaving only Zhao standing in the yard. Looking up at the falling snowflakes in the sky, I felt a chill in my heart for no reason. I felt that things were not developing in the normal direction, but instead smelled of conspiracy.

Not long after, the two thousand households returned to the courtyard one after another. After bowing, they replied, "Sir, everything is as usual. Except for Master Yu who is still finishing the work, the other five teams have already escorted the prisoners and stolen goods back to Zhao Prison."

After hearing this, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the dead Mr. Chen. He waved the two thousand households to get up and said, "Take the body back and ask people to come in and search it. Let them search it carefully. Don't let it go in the ground!"

"Yes." Qianhu helped Zhao put on his big cloak, and then went out to call people in.

As the bodies were removed, more lanterns appeared in the yard, and the flickering light of the fire gradually illuminated the yard. Then the sounds of footsteps, door openings, and moving objects mingled together, sounding a bit noisy, even harsh.

After walking out of the gate, Zhao tightly wrapped his cloak and kept thinking about what happened recently. But after thinking about it, I still can't figure out what flaw could have caused the list to be leaked, even if it wasn't leaked today.

Could it be Zheng Rongqing? No, this kid doesn't even know the last three people. It's impossible for Lu Wenyu. In his position, there is no need to take such big risks to make money...

It can’t be the emperor, right?

Shaking his head and throwing this unrealistic idea out of his mind, how could he be the emperor? If you kill Mr. Chen, the money will also belong to him. There is no need!

Weird! Weird! Could it be me!

After thinking about it, I cursed in my heart, "Idiot." I doubted myself and had such a thought because of my poor brain. It seems that I have been too tired recently and my brain is running out of ideas.

"My lord, the search is over."

The voice from behind interrupted Zhao's thoughts. He could hear it was Qianhu's voice, so he asked with a little hope, "What did you find?"

"There is nothing valuable at all. There is a tunnel, but the way out has been blocked. My subordinates looked at it and saw that it was Xintu! Looking at the direction, it should lead to a sealed brothel not far away..." Qian Hu stood not far away and whispered.

"Tell a few people to check that brothel, go back quickly."

"yes."

Qianhu came and went in a hurry, and soon came back with a few people to report, "Sir, the tunnel over there is even more sealed. It is only half a body above the ground, and it is also new soil..."

"Go back to Zhao Prison, there is nothing of value here." Zhao seemed to have foreseen it, and there was no change in the expression on his face.

"Take the team back!"

...

In the duty room, when Zhao walked in, the others had already sat down and waited. He walked inside with his hands behind his back and said, "Just let the night errands keep an eye on them. We will lock them up for one day and then try them again after the first day of the new year."

"As for the body, let's find a widower to do the autopsy first. We can wait until the autopsy is done to do anything else."

"Don't stay, let's go back and have the reunion dinner. Today is the New Year's Eve."

"Happy New Year everyone!"

Everyone responded with "Happy New Year, my lord."

After accompanying the others to fight for a while, he turned around and walked out the door. On New Year's Eve, not to mention restaurants and even stalls, no business was open. Fortunately, I bought a bunch of food and drinks a few days ago and threw them into the space.

So he was not in a hurry and walked towards the yard step by step. As soon as I walked into the street, I heard a burst of firecrackers, mixed with the sound of subtle footsteps.

But since it was New Year's Eve and it was normal for children to walk around and set off firecrackers, I didn't take it to heart and kept walking to the yard with my head down.

I was about to reach out and push the door open, but I found it a bit strange. The streets were still busy. Why did it calm down a little when I walked around my yard? He remembered that he had neighbors, what? Neighbors don’t like New Year’s Eve?

Thinking of this, the hand that was stretched forward immediately stopped and took a small step back. At this time, ice crystals suddenly fell from the eaves, a snapping sound was heard, and the door opened.

Several arrows were shot out instantly in the dark courtyard. Fortunately, Zhao had already opened a short distance from the gate and still had time to react.

"ha!"

After roaring, Zhao's true energy began to flow, and he rolled up his cloak, trying to block the arrows with his true energy. Unfortunately, it only took a moment for the arrow to break through the true energy barrier and shoot out.

Zhao was shocked, but he didn't have time to think too much, and dodged the arrows one after another. But he felt a tearing sound on the inside of his shoulder, and then the pain came.

"Damn, I was careless!" Zhao quickly drew his knife, without using his true energy, and knocked down the arrows with his hand strength and footwork.

After a while, no more arrows came, and Zhao quickly jumped onto the roof with his knife, circulated his true energy and stepped suddenly, and jumped up with the force.

Unfortunately, there was no one walking fast in sight. I simply didn't care about the consequences and used my true energy to sense directly, but there was still nothing abnormal.

I fell down helplessly and picked up the arrow that fell on the ground. After a careful look, I found that this was just an ordinary arrow, and even the arrowhead was not cast in a special regular pattern, which was definitely not a barracks standard.

Pulling out the arrow embedded in the wall, I found that most of the arrows were shot into the wall. I identified the direction of the arrows and found that they were probably in the yard.

It is not difficult to embed so deep at this distance. Not to mention Zhao Jue himself, even the fourth and fifth rank who have been trained for a period of time can do it. It is nothing strange.

He sniffed the smell of the arrow carefully, which was strange, strong and pungent.

"Toxic..."

Zhao Jue murmured. Although he was a poisoner, this kind of poison that could dissipate the external true qi was the first time he saw it.

He collected the arrows on the ground and returned to the house. There were indeed traces of being searched inside. Fortunately, Zhao Cai was timid and hid under the bed when he saw that the situation was not right.

"Dogs follow their masters! You should be glad that I am smart, Zhao Cai." Zhao Jue touched Zhao Cai's head and couldn't help boasting.

After pacifying Zhao Cai, he found a plate of water, inserted the arrow head into the water with the arrow pointing downwards, and poured the water into the iron pot to boil.

As the water boiled, other smells in the steam gradually became obvious. Zhao Jue was surprised after carefully distinguishing for a while.

"Rou Zhi Rou, Chang Xiang Si, Jie Qiu Fang, Feng Hou Xue!" There was another smell he couldn't recognize.

"Fuck! I used four of the top 20 poisons in the martial arts world. Am I having an affair with your wife? You want me dead so badly!"
