Chapter 149: Fire Blood Ginseng King, Five Ques Old Man
Dayan City is majestic and majestic, with tall towers. Looking from a distance, it looks like a fire dragon entrenching the earth, majestic and intimidating.
Entering the city, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads everywhere as far as the eye can see. Inside, there is the Yuyu Qiong Pavilion, with crowds of people passing through, and the bustling market.
Su Chen swept around like a horse, and the faint sense of strangeness disappeared from his eyes.
He didn't waste any time, and took advantage of the fact that it was still dark to find the 'Travel Restaurant'.
Thanks to the fact that he and Qiao Qiliang had taken action to destroy the Shadow Killing Organization branch, Su Chen would not be able to run around like a headless fly.
We learned from many news from the Shadow Killing Branch that every city in Donglin Prefecture has a Shadow Killing station.
Although there is no detailed introduction to the situation of shadow-killing stations in each state, there is still some basic information.
For example, this restaurant called Lai Lai Restaurant is one of the places where Shadow Killer appears to the public, and is usually used to sell various information.
In the killer organization, killers are certainly very important, but what is actually more important is information, and selling information is also one of Shadow Kill's main businesses.
Entering the restaurant, what you see is a bustling scene. There are many people coming and going, and most of them are warriors. The restaurant is almost full of people.
Su Chen stood in the restaurant for a while, but still no waiter came forward to greet him. He couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the business going to and from the restaurant was very busy!
Later, he took the initiative to find the clerk and expressed his intention to come. The clerk heard that he was here to buy news. After looking up and down, he asked indifferently: "How long will it take?"
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing that Su Chen looked like he had just arrived, the clerk briefly introduced the meaning of the words. The so-called "number" was the budget amount.
If the budget is less than one thousand taels, it is the first class; if it is between two thousand and five thousand, it is the second class; if it is between five thousand and ten thousand, it is the third class.
After that, it increases by one level for every 30,000, until it reaches 100,000.
After 100,000, it will be divided separately, with every 100,000 being a level, with a total of nearly twenty levels.
After listening to the man's story, Su Chen thought for a moment. Although he didn't know the value of the Fire Blood Ginseng King, it would definitely not be cheap if it was monopolized by the Chu family.
So he said: "Fourth level and above!"
"Guest, please come upstairs!" Upon hearing this, the waiter showed a bright smile and respectfully invited Su Chen to come upstairs.
The room is not big, less than ten square meters, with only tables and chairs. It looks like it is a dedicated independent space.
“Are you selling information or buying information?”
There was a special person sitting in the room. The waiter led Su Chen to the door and then retreated.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Chen saw a masked man sitting on a chair and asked him lightly with his eyes closed.
"Purchase news." Su Chen spat out.
"What news do you want to buy?" the masked man asked.
Su Chen took a step forward and spat out a sentence: "Fire Blood Ginseng King."
After hearing this, the masked man opened his eyes and stared at Su Chen. He knew that there must be a real face hidden under this handsome face.
Although he could not see through Su Chen's disguise, the masked man guessed that Su Chen's age should be around twenty-five years old.
This is an experience. Young people generally do not deliberately pretend to be old people.
He didn't care about Su Chen's identity. After thinking for a while, he replied: "This news is worth five thousand taels!"
Snapped!
A five thousand tael silver note was placed in front of the masked man in the blink of an eye.
The masked man was slightly startled. It had been a long time since he had met such a cheerful guest. He was already prepared for Su Chen's hot-tempered questions.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was blind!
Facing such a generous guest, the masked man chuckled, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Su Chen.
"Shenzhuang, old man Wuque." Su Chen opened it and took a look.
The masked man noticed Su Chen's doubts, so he said, "Go to Shen Village and ask where the one-eyed old man is."
Su Chen nodded, then walked out, leaving the restaurant with the waiter's smiling expression.
Before leaving, I also spent some money to find out the location of Xia Shen Village.
Shenzhuang is located in the north of Dafeng City, only three miles away from the restaurant. However, it was getting late now. By the time Su Chen arrived, Shenzhuang had already closed, so the waiter thoughtfully reminded Su Chen that he could go back tomorrow, and then thoughtfully He introduced Su Chen to the inns in the city.
Clear target prices and honest management did not deceive Su Chen. According to the inn information provided by the waiter, Su Chen chose the most suitable inn and checked in. The price and information were the same as what the waiter said.
One night passed, and at dawn the next day, Su Chen rushed to the Shen Village that the waiter mentioned. The Shen Village was named after a manor owned by the Chu family. In fact, it was more like a village in the city in his previous life, but the liveliness was no less than in Dayan City.
According to the information given by the masked man, it seemed that the old man Wu Que was well-known in Shenzhuang, and the fact was just as the masked man said. Su Chen randomly found a shop and after a little inquiry, he found out where the old man Wu Que lived.
But after actually arriving at Old Man Wuque's residence, Su Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.
What appeared in front of him was not a residence, but a garbage dump. Flies and mosquitoes were flying everywhere. The stench was so strong that it seemed to penetrate the pores. Before he got closer, he felt waves of disgust coming from the cells in his body.
There was a beggar living inside.
"Isn't he the old man Wu Que?"
Su Chen stood not far away and stared at the beggar lying on his side. He was covered in dirt and filthy, almost blending in with the garbage.
Su Chen, who was a little unsure, used money to clear the way and asked passers-by not far away.
"Old Man Wu Que? You're talking about the old beggar, right? He's right there." Passers-by were a little surprised when they first heard the name, but they quickly realized that this was not the first time he heard someone call the old beggar that. .
"May I ask, why is he called Old Man Wu Que?" Su Chen looked at the old beggar and asked after being silent for a moment.
When passers-by heard this, their faces looked sad, and he sighed softly: "We call him the Five Ques Old Man because he is missing one eye, both ears, a tongue, an arm, and both feet."
At last, he said sadly: "He is also a poor man!"
"Can you tell me in detail?" Su Chen asked softly.
The passerby nodded and said, "The old beggar used to be a man with two children and a happy family. Unfortunately, he offended the Xiao Chu Gang for unknown reasons. His wife and children all died tragically, and he ended up like this."
After talking to passers-by for a long time, Su Chen gave up.
If Su Chen's guess is correct, the old man Wu Que should have obtained the Fire-Blooded Ginseng King, so he was tortured by the Xiao Chu Gang. The Xiao Chu Gang was the Chu family's gang as soon as they heard the name.
After learning the whole story, Su Chen stepped forward and slowly approached the old man.
"Ahhhhh, ooohhh..."
Before he got close to the old man Wu Que, he suddenly twitched and then made a strange sound from his mouth.
He sat up suddenly, danced and rolled on the ground.
Maybe he was thirsty, so he leaned over and crawled to the small puddle, put his hands together, and drank wildly from the black water, laughing while drinking.
Looks like a madman.
Su Chen frowned, took a step forward, came to the old man Wu Que, and stared at him.
"I'm here to ask you about the Fire Blood Ginseng King. As long as you tell me, I can avenge you!"
Ignoring the crazy old man Wuque, Su Chen said in a voice that only two people could hear.
However, the old man Wuque didn't pay any attention to Su Chen and continued to drink the black water. After taking a few sips, he moved his body and got into the garbage pile. Sometimes he used his head, sometimes his body, and sometimes his arms to rummage through the black water. food.
Even if there were insects on it, he didn't dislike it at all. He opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp as if he was seeing delicious food.
After eating, he had another convulsion, tossed and turned for a while, then lay down on the floor and fell asleep.
Su Chen looked at him without saying a word. The old man Wu Que acted like a madman, but he was not sure whether he was really crazy or pretending to be crazy.
Su Chen spent the next time observing.
In addition to observing, he would buy food and water for the other party every meal time. The other party would not refuse anyone who came, but after eating, he still looked crazy.
Su Chen originally wanted to ask someone to take him away and give him a bath and change into clean clothes, but the old man Wuque still refused to leave.
At first, Su Chen thought it was the people from the Xiao Chu Gang who were watching the old man Wu Que, but after observing for nearly a day, he didn't find anyone out of the ordinary. He guessed that the old man Wu Que was unwilling to leave.
After observing him for two days and two nights, Su Chen was very likely to be sure that the other party was a lunatic.
He returned to the restaurant and found the masked man who had given him the message before.
After learning what happened to Su Chen, the masked man shook his head and said, "I'm not lying to you. He does know the news about the Fire-blooded Ginseng King, but it's difficult to get the news about the Fire-blooded Ginseng King from him, but this It’s the only way at hand.”
Su Chen fell silent. He suddenly had doubts in his mind, so he said, "Why did the Chu family keep him?"
The masked man did not speak, but stretched out a finger. Su Chen handed over the money, and then the other party said: "I know your suspicions. I think the Chu family kept him just to let others plan to obtain the Fire Blood Ginseng King." On him, but don’t you think it’s more uncomfortable for him to be alive now than to be dead?”
"But according to my observations in the past two days, he is a madman!" Su Chen said coldly.
The masked man asked, "How are you sure he's not pretending to be crazy?"
"How are you sure he's pretending to be crazy?"
The masked man opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Is there any other news?" Su Chen asked in a deep voice without struggling with the masked man on this issue.
The masked man shook his head and said, "No, this is the only way."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can also publish the acquisition news yourself."
"Are there any restrictions?" Su Chen asked with a raised brow.
"No."
Later, Su Chen followed the masked man's suggestion and spent 10,000 taels to announce the purchase of Fire Blood Ginseng King.
He was still a little unwilling. After leaving the restaurant, he went straight to Shenzhuang and found the old man Wu Que again.
But this time, he didn't bother him.
He only stepped forward to feed the other party during meal time, and did not leave at night, keeping an eye on the old man Wu Que.
After observing for two days, Su Chen still found nothing unusual.
Either Old Man Wuque is really crazy, or he is pretending to be crazy to such an extent that even he himself thinks he is crazy.
But no matter which one it is, Su Chen is quite troubled.
He had been delayed in Dayan City for five days, but he still couldn't find any news about the Fire Blood Ginseng King.
If this continues, I wonder if it will take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to find out the news about the Fire Blood Ginseng King.
Su Chen didn't plan to focus on the old man Wuque all the time. He planned to try to see if he could start with the Chu family.
But when he went to the restaurant to inquire about the Chu family, the masked man told him that someone had accepted his mission.
"He doesn't plan to meet you at the restaurant, but wants you to meet in the suburbs at three o'clock tomorrow night. This is the location." The masked man handed him a note with the location written on it.
Seeing that Su Chen was silent, he said meaningfully: "This place is relatively remote."
In a restaurant transaction, the restaurant protects both parties, which can at least ensure the safety of both parties in the restaurant.
But the other party did not intend to do business with Su Chen at the restaurant. Instead, he asked him to meet in the suburbs. He had ulterior motives. As the small backer of the restaurant, the masked man reminded him as if he was done.
Su Chen didn't pay attention, accepted the note, and said calmly: "Thanks for letting me know."
After saying that, Su Chen turned and left. Seeing his aggressive attitude, as if he was going to meet the other party, the masked man shook his head slightly but didn't say anything.
Midnight watch.
Suburbs.
Su Chen arrived as promised, and the agreed time had arrived, but the person he agreed to did not show up.
However, not long after Su Chen appeared, three figures walked out of the darkness. All three of them were wearing black clothes, wearing masks, and holding long knives.
"Are you the customer who bought the Fire Blood Ginseng King?" the leader asked in a low voice.
Su Chen nodded expressionlessly.
"Did you bring the money?" asked a man next to him.
Su Chen took out ten silver notes from his arms.
When the three of them saw this, they looked happy. The leading man stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the money first, and then we will tell you the news."
Su Chen cooperated very cooperatively and handed the banknote to the leading man.
When the three of them saw this, they quickly got together and counted the banknotes.
At this time, Su Chen's voice came: "Where's the news?"
"Hahaha!" The three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and laughed.
Then the leading man sneered: "What an idiot. You don't think we are really here to trade with you, do you?"
"So, you don't know about the Fire Blood Ginseng King?" Su Chen asked calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here, or we'll make you look better!"
Another man in black shouted angrily, pointed at Su Chen with a long knife.
"Why are you wasting my time? I wonder if I will be unhappy?"
A cold voice sounded, and Su Chen's dark eyes slowly raised, flashing with a dangerous light.
Before the three of them could react, Su Chen flashed and jumped in front of the three of them.
Snap.
Two slaps fell, directly smashing the skulls of two of the men, and their brains burst out along with blood.
"you you……"
The remaining man in black saw his two companions die tragically in front of him in the blink of an eye. He was so frightened that his three souls lost his soul. His feet were weak and his legs were numb, and he collapsed on the ground.
"Where's the news?"
A sound that sounded like it came from the Nine Nether Hell fell in the ears of the man in black, making his liver and gallbladder tremble and his soul tremble.
"I, I don't know..."
Click!
When he finished speaking, Su Chen didn't waste time and dealt with him directly.
Su Chen took back the banknotes with a sullen face, and after groping around the three of them for a while, Su Chen returned to the city.
Snapped!
Early the next morning, Su Chen found the masked man and asked straight to the point: "Who is the culprit who caused the death of the old man Wu Que?"
"Xiao Chu helps Zhao Si!"
As if he noticed the chill on Su Chen's body, the masked man was stunned for a moment and said.
After Su Chen left, the masked man realized that he had forgotten to collect the money.
"That's all, just think of it as giving it to him for free, but it looks like he wants to deal with Zhao Si. Should I send someone to inform Zhao Si that he can eat two things for one fish?"
He touched his chin, thinking.
"Forget it. The sum of all Zhao Si's belongings is not as much as what this benefactor spends in the restaurant. It's better to let him kill Zhao Si and then wait for the Xiaochu gang to come to me to buy information."
With this in mind, he quickly drew Su Chen's appearance. It took less than a cup of tea to finish the drawing, and he was actually quite elegant.
Until the evening, the masked man did not receive the news of Zhao Si's death, which made him wonder, could he have guessed wrong?
He was a little unsure and planned to wait until tomorrow morning to take a look. After being busy for a while, the masked man packed up his things and went back.
at the same time.
It wasn't until the restaurant closed that Su Chen quietly left.
It is not difficult to find out the location of the Xiao Chu Gang. Zhao Si is a leader of the Xiao Chu Gang and is usually responsible for the territory where the old man Wu Que is.
So Su Chen quickly found Zhao Si's home. Unexpectedly, he hadn't come back yet. After learning Zhao Si's location from a gang member, Su Chen went straight to a nearby brothel.
"Hey, sir, why don't you go upstairs and do something?"
As soon as he entered the brothel, he was greeted warmly. Su Chen simply replied: "Get lost."
The girls were so frightened that they froze on the spot and looked at each other in confusion.
Soon after, he found Zhao Si's location, opened the door, and walked in.
"Ah, you bastard, who asked you to come in?"
Zhao Si was in the clouds and rain in Wushan at this time.
Human beings are too humble...
When he saw someone coming in, he suddenly became furious and said.
However, what responded to him was Su Chen's clean knife and two blows. After beheading Zhao Si and knocking out the two women, Su Chen jumped out of the window and left.
In a dilapidated alley.
There was a grunt.
The old man Wu Que, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a strange sound, and the smell of blood came from his nose.
He opened his eyes and immediately saw a deadpan face appearing in front of him.
"Woooooooo..."
After just one glance, he screamed wildly with excitement, holding Zhao Si's head, his body shaking violently, and tears seemed to flow from his eyes.
The old man Wu Que burst into tears.
Su Chen stood not far away and watched silently. Seeing this scene, he was sure that the old man Wuque was indeed pretending to be crazy.
I sighed in my heart.
"Ahhhh..."
After a while, the old man Wuque looked at Su Chen with tears in his eyes, and his eye became clear at this time.
Boom, boom, boom!
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Su Chen.
Then, under Su Chen's gaze, he picked up a piece of tile from the ground, raised it suddenly, and stabbed the flesh of his broken leg hard, slashing it open, and blood flowed out along the scar.
The heart-wrenching pain made Old Man Wuque's face contort. He still gritted his teeth until the flesh and blood of the broken leg was cut into large pieces.
shocking!
Only then did Su Chen see that there was a piece of cowhide among the flesh and blood of his broken leg.
"Woo!"
Taking the cowhide from the blood-stained hands of the old man Wuque, Su Chen opened it with a complex expression, and what came into view was a map.
