Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 40: Approaching and Blood!
There was an earthquake in the capital, but it had no effect on Haimen at all.
Although it was not far from here, but when people heard that the dead were all people in the palace, no one took it seriously.
Someone asked, why?
The answer is simple. There are many rules and things to do in the palace. If you know too much, it is easy to lose your brain.
If no one adds fuel to the fire, the matter will fade away.
After another ten days or so, no one would know about it.
Especially as "February 2, the Dragon Raises its Head" is approaching, the whole Haimen has become lively again.
According to the rules, after February 2, the Chinese New Year is over and everyone has to roll up their sleeves and work hard, looking forward to a good harvest in the new year.
Therefore, there are rules on the day of February 2nd.
What rules?
eat!
Eat dragon ears, dragon eyes, dragon whiskers, dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon gall, and dragon head.
That is, dumplings, wontons, longxu noodles, spring rolls, pancakes, fried cakes, and pork head.
There are differences between the north and the south.
It's a personal preference.
However, when it comes to Goethe, of course he has to have a little bit of everything.
Otherwise it would be unpleasant.
Everything else is easy. There are many people in the yard, so even if it is just to make dumplings and wontons, it is enough to get up early.
But pig head is different.
This stuff takes time.
Moreover, you need to have skills.
No one in Goethe's yard can do this.
No one in Lao Wang's yard knows how to do it.
Well, Li Changhai was sent out to order pork head.
Li Changhai is no longer a waiter.
Instead, Li Changhai became familiar with Lao Gao and Xiao Gao, who sold cooked food.
I buy meat every day, how can it not be cooked?
When I went there yesterday, Lao Gao also gave Li Changhai a pig's tail and a plate of braised large intestines.
Because when Li Changhai went there the day before yesterday, he brought candies for Xiao Gao and his three children.
Isn't that what human beings are like?
After a few visits, we became familiar with each other.
Li Changhai estimated that there were about thirty or forty people in the two courtyards combined. It would be difficult to deal with a shortage of pig heads, so he had to tell Lao Gao and Xiao Gao in advance. Therefore, he went out after eating.
As the local boss, the young master of the Zhang family couldn't sit still, so he followed along.
Another person is the old blind man.
"What are you doing following me?"
The young master of the Zhang family asked the old blind man.
"I'm free."
"I was worried about this and that every day, but now that I've had a few days off, I feel uncomfortable all over. I always feel like something is missing, as if little bugs are crawling on my body."
The old blind man was holding a stick, and Li Changhai held one end of the stick and walked in front of him.
"You are just a bitch."
The young master of the Zhang family curled his lips.
"Haha, TOEFL."
"I learned from you."
The old blind man said cheerfully.
After spending these days together, both sides have figured out the details.
We already know what kind of people both sides are in the eyes of Mr. Mo.
Therefore, they became more and more impolite.
This is not a bad word.
But there is no shelf anymore.
It was like two rogues lying in a mud puddle, chatting, gossiping and basking in the sun, and deep down they both believed that the other was inferior to themselves.
"I say, old blind man, you can obviously walk by yourself, why do you have to let Changhai lead you?"
"Could it be that this is also a habit?"
"Can't you do anything without someone to hold you back?"
The young master of the Zhang family is so mean.
Saying "lead" over and over again is completely implying that the old blind man is a donkey or a horse.
The old blind man is still smiling.
"I can't help it. I'm just used to it. You're the same. No one can drive you away. It sticks there like a plaster."
The old blind man emphasized the word "plaster".
The young master of the Zhang family knew exactly what it meant.
He said the old blind man was a donkey and a horse.
The old blind man said he was a dog.
The young master of the Zhang family was not angry, it was just a quarrel anyway.
It would be interesting only if there is give and take.
It's boring if he's the only one talking.
So, the journey between the two of them was really wonderful.
Where is Li Changhai?
Listening silently, without saying a word.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but he has learned skills from the young master of the Zhang family, so they can be considered master and apprentice. He has also learned a lot of skills from the old blind man these days, so they can also be considered master and apprentice.
If two teachers quarrel, that is the teachers’ business.
He is a disciple, so it is not appropriate for him to interrupt.
So Li Changhai just listened quietly.
When you hear something interesting, just write it down.
He was ready to go back and kick his brother.
Think about it.
beautiful!
But soon, the smile on Li Changhai's face disappeared.
The braised meat shop owned by Lao Gao and Xiao Gao in his memory has closed down.
The door of a braised meat shop at the intersection was lying on the ground at an angle. Two government officers were guarding outside to prevent anyone from approaching, while officers were coming in and out from time to time.
There were a lot of people gathered around.
Li Changhai moved closer and listened with his ears perked up.
"This Gao family is really unlucky."
"Who says it's not?"
"I was just doing business honestly. I didn't offend anyone. But I ran into such an unreasonable dwarf and killed him with a knife."
"That dwarf is too cruel."
"The old Gao couple, the young Gao couple, and their three children were all killed."
"Because of what?"
"Why would you kill someone for no reason?"
Li Changhai came over and asked.
"In the morning, a short man came here drunk to buy cooked food. He wanted smoked fish and grilled fish. However, Lao Gao's shop sells a lot of braised meat. They have pork elbows, pig's trotters, pig's heads, and occasionally rabbit meat, but they don't have any fish.
This thing doesn't fit either.
It would be so fishy if you put one piece together.
However, who wouldn’t run into a barbarian when they open a business?
Lao Gao apologized first and told the dwarf where the fish was.
But the dwarf refused to give in. He screamed for a while, and no one knew what he was saying. In the end, he drew his sword and chopped Lao Gao to death. Hearing the screams, Xiao Gao rushed out and was also chopped to death by the dwarf. Then it was the two men's wives. The most pitiful ones were the three children. They were still young and had not experienced anything, and they just died.
well.
What a sin. "
There was a kind-hearted person who told Li Changhai directly.
As Li Changhai listened, the blood rushed straight to his head.
By the time the police carried out the bodies of the three children, Li Changhai's teeth were about to break.
Yesterday, he held these three children here.
Three children surrounded him and called him uncle.
He happily gave her candy secretly.
The mother of three children did not allow them to take this precious thing.
Li Changhai could only give it quietly.
But today, the three children are gone.
Moreover, it is not yet complete.
"What about the shorty?"
Li Changhai asked with narrowed eyes.
"He was taken away by the officials and will be executed in the autumn."
The old man who just answered the question replied.
"Execution after the autumn?"
"This man, you are wrong."
"What's wrong with that? You have to pay for your murder with your life and pay for your debts. It's the lives of seven members of the Gao family!"
"This is true at any time, but it's not appropriate to say this dwarf. This dwarf is one of the envoys sent by Japan to Daqian, and he was invited by the princess to attend the "Immortal Viewing Meeting". Think about it, with such a thing happening, what would our parent official dare to do? The most likely possibility is not to capture him first, serve him, and then release him?"
Someone who understood was muttering nearby.
The man listened, took a deep breath, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and could only exhale heavily.
There was a sigh mixed with his exhalation.
"Poor Gao's family."
There were some more words to come, but Li Changhai didn't listen.
The silly boy went straight to the scene where the government office had blocked off the area.
He saw an acquaintance.
He wanted to find out more carefully.
The old blind man and the young master of the Zhang family watched from behind and nodded at the same time.
It is rare to be impartial.
"What do you say, old blind man?"
The young master of the Zhang family asked sinisterly.
"Nothing much to say, I just feel uncomfortable in my chest."
The old blind man pursed his lips.
The young master of the Zhang family laughed.
Turn around and walk away.
The dock is there, and the Japanese ships are there too.
No one takes care of a family of seven?
He, Zhang Deshou, took care of it.
"Hey, I've only been idle for a few days, why is there something going on again?
Where did this beast come from? Why is he so restless?
It’s fucking real.”
The old blind man followed him mumbling something.
At this time, Li Changhai did not notice that the two people were missing. At this time, he had already grabbed Haimen's squad leader Lu Renjia and was asking about him carefully.
"Master Li, please don't get involved in this matter!
Once you get involved, it’s hard to explain!
This is a matter involving two countries, so even if Mr. Mo comes, he must be cautious. "
When Lu Renjia's official saw the aggressive Li Changhai, he guessed what was going on and immediately tried to persuade him.
"It has nothing to do with Mr. Mo. Everyone has their own share of responsibility.
At worst, I'll pay with my life.
Now I ask, where is that dwarf?
Was it released?
Still in jail.”
Li Changhai's eyes were red at this time.
The pupils were filled with blood.
The silly boy got angry and didn't care anymore.
When Lu Renjia saw this, he had no idea what to do.
"He's in the government office. I think he'll be released soon..."
Before Lu Renjia could finish his words, Li Changhai turned and left.
Seeing Li Changhai's aggressive look, Lu Renjia felt a headache and immediately waved to call a policeman over.
"go!"
"Tell Mr. Mo that something is going to happen!"
The policeman had been watching from the side, so he naturally knew what was going on. He immediately nodded and went to the yard where Goethe was.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Li Changhai walked out of the crowd and prepared to say something to the old blind man and the young master of the Zhang family.
But no one was found.
Then, change your mind.
Okay!
I'm going to kill someone, and it would not be good if others saw me with the young master of the Zhang family and the old blind man.
Thinking of this, Li Changhai fell to his knees in his yard.
He kowtowed respectfully.
He was saying goodbye to Goethe.
Then he stood up and ran straight to the yamen gate.
It happened that at this time, the foolish official released the dwarf.
The confused official is still there with a smile on his face.
"A visitor from afar is a guest. A visitor from afar is a guest."
"snort."
The dwarf held his head high, snorted, looked down on the foolish official, and walked out with a knife and wooden clogs.
Just as the dwarf walked down the stairs, he heard a loud shout -
"dwarf!"
The voice is loud.
The dwarf also turned back instinctively.
As soon as he turned around, a dagger stabbed him in the chest.
It's right at the heart's vital spot.
puff!
The dwarf immediately trembled all over.
What's going on?
How come he didn’t notice anyone even though they were so close?
Or maybe the young master of the Zhang family and the old blind man like this silly boy Li Changhai?
Although he looks simple and naive, he learns things quickly.
This hiding and concealing has already reached some level.
Li Changhai didn't think much about it. After killing the man with one blow, he flipped the dagger and hid it in his sleeve. He raised his hand to pull out the samurai sword from the dwarf's waist and stabbed him in the neck.
puff!
Another sound.
The dwarf's head was chopped off.
Li Changhai raised his hand and picked up the head, shouting at the confused official whose face was splashed with blood.
"The murderer is Li Changhai!"
"Wait for me. I'll be back after I take the head to commemorate my friend!"
After saying this, without waiting for the confused official to reply, he turned around and headed straight for Gao's Braised Pork at the fork in the road.
Until Li Changhai disappeared.
The confused official then spoke.
“Oh my god!”
With a cry of "Oh my God", the confused official collapsed to the ground.
Shit and urine flowed together.
The attendant on the side hurriedly greeted him.
"Hurry, hurry, the master has to pee."
"Go get a pair of pants for the master."
"Get some toilet paper, too!"
There was a flurry of activity at the yamen gate.
Finally, the confused official woke up.
"What a murderer! What a murderer!"
"In broad daylight, in the open air, how dare you commit a crime in front of the government office!"
"Is there still justice?"
"Is there still any law?"
"Where's Lu Renjia?"
"Send me a warrant for arrest!"
"I want to catch that murderer!"
The confused official was shouting.
A policeman ran in.
He was sent back by Lu Renjia .
Lu Renjia not only sent someone to deliver the letter to Goethe, but also had to send someone to the confused official to avoid any irreparable misunderstandings.
The policeman immediately explained in detail.
"Um?"
"Is it related to Mr. Mo?"
"Is that Mr. Mo?"
"yes!"
"this……"
The confused official stood up and walked around in circles.
What should I do?
It’s terrible!
It’s fatal for both ends!
Mr. Mo, of course he knows.
We have also had dealings.
Moreover, when the demon from the Immortal Sect was causing so much trouble before, it was only because of the presence of the great god Mr. Mo that the demon from the Immortal Sect was not so presumptuous and he was able to retain the last bit of his dignity.
He didn't dare and didn't want to offend such a person.
Once you get angry, it can be really fatal.
But if he sides with Mr. Mo and Japan makes trouble, the princess will want his life.
Why did the princess host this "immortal viewing meeting"?
He knew it very well.
It is to show that you are destined to be the one and have people from all over the world come to pay tribute to you.
Then, it would be natural for him to ascend to the throne.
What if something goes wrong at this time?
His entire clan must be exterminated!
what to do?
what to do?
It’s fatal for both ends!
Why is it so difficult for him?
The confused official was about to cry.
The follower next to him has sharp eyes.
"Someone, go get another pair of pants, the adult has peed again!"
Before, I was scared.
Now, I am also scared.
Anyway, everyone was scared to death, and the confused official was so scared that he fell ill.
In the morning, I am still energetic and walk the bird and play with the dog.
It was not even noon yet, but I was already lying in bed groaning.
The people standing aside are worried.
I don’t know what to do.
Even the master doesn’t know what to do, how can they know?
You definitely can’t know.
At this moment, another policeman ran in with a panicked look on his face.
"Master! Master!"
"Something terrible has happened!"
As soon as he entered the door, the policeman started shouting.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't panic, speak in detail."
The follower of the confused official, who was also the legal advisor, shouted directly.
The confused official who was groaning on the bed beside him also looked at the policeman.
The policeman immediately took two more breaths to catch his breath before continuing.
"My Lord, the Japanese envoy's ship...sank."
"What?"
The confused official's eyes widened, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Master, the Japanese envoy's ship sank."
The policeman repeated it again.
Well!
The confused official's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the yamen.
But this chaos has just begun.
