Seeing that the man was an old beggar in burlap, Qi Ning recognized it at a glance, and said with a smile, “It’s Mr. Zhong? When did Mr. come to the capital?”
That person was actually Lou Wenshi’s righteous brother Zhong Ya.
Bei Liang Nan Zhong, Zhong Ya’s Disguise Technique is infinitely mysterious, Qi Ning has experienced it personally, and Qi Ning admires these old beggars with peculiar talents.
Zhong Ya smiled and said: “Master Hou, I have been missing for a few days. I also just arrived in the capital yesterday, but it is not easy to go directly to the Hou residence to visit Master Hou, so I asked the brothers of Gui Jin Yang Fenrui to help me and wanted to meet Master Hou. Up.” He raised his hand and said, “Master Hou, please take a seat.”
After the two were seated, Zhong Ya said with a smile: “Master Hou, this time in Beijing, it was ordered by Elder Lou. At the Qingmu Conference, Master Hou not only exposed Baihu’s treacherous scheme, but also stepped forward to save a few of my beggars. If Baihu and Lu Shanghe succeeded in a century-old foundation, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Qi Ning said with a smile, “Mr. Zhong has won the prize. In fact, this is not only for Big Brother Lou and the Beggar Gang, but also for the imperial court.” After a pause, he asked, “Mr. Zhong, Lu Shanghe was rescued. Does Big Brother know about this?”
Zhong Ya nodded and said, “Elder Suzaku sent someone to send a secret letter here, and Elder Lou has already learned about it. This matter really shows that Bai Hu and Lu Shanghe are not the only ones who are conspiring against the beggar gang. Behind them, There must be more powerful people planning. It’s just that we still don’t know what exactly these people are going to do with the beggar gang after they control the beggar gang.”
“Although the white tiger has been eliminated, Lu Shanghe has no chance to contact the beggar gang again, but if these people really have a plan, they will definitely not give up because of this.” Qi Ning looked serious, “The beggar gang must not take it lightly.”
Zhong Ya smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lord Hou, this time I came to Beijing because of Elder Lou’s intention, and let me meet with Elder Suzaku and discuss how to search for Lu Shanghe. This time, the White Tiger almost endangered the foundation of the Beggar Gang, and things are natural. We can’t just leave it alone, the elders of the Beggar Gang will also try their best to find out who is behind the scenes.”
Qi Ning smiled and said, “If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.”
“Master Hou is now the acting gang leader of the Beggar Gang. Once there is news about Lu Shanghe, we will report to you immediately.” Zhong Ya said sternly, “Although I have not disclosed the true identity of Master Hou to Elder Zhuque for the time being, Elder Lou is in secret. In the letter, I have already instructed Elder Suzaku that whenever the Marquis needs the help of the Beggar Gang, even if you speak up, Elder Suzaku will definitely cooperate with you.”
Qi Ning clasped his fists and said, “Thank you. It’s just…Mr. Zhong, it’s better not to mention my acting gang leader, I’m really ashamed. Right now, as long as the elders of the four sides guard one side and manage their subordinates well, the beggar gang will not be able to. There is a big problem. To the gang leader, with time, when the injury recovers, you will be able to return to the arena.”
“Master Hou, what Elder Lou means is that before we leave the gate to the leader, we will take you as the leader.” Zhong Ya said with a smile, then got up and said, “Master Hou.” Go to the inner room Go, Qi Ning was curious, and soon saw Zhong Ya come out, holding a small black bag in his hand, the bag did not know what material it was made of, it was quite strange, but he saw Zhong Ya bring it over with both hands , said: “Master Hou, the mere plaything, please accept it.”
Qi Ning was very curious. He took the black bag and opened it, but saw a few strange things inside. He took one out and put the bag on the side. Then he opened the thing with both hands. After seeing it clearly, His face changed slightly, and he lost his voice: “Human…human skin…!” Really surprised.
The things in his hands were clearly human skins peeled from people’s faces.
“Don’t be surprised, Lord Hou.” Zhong Ya said, “This is not a real human skin, but a human skin-mask made by my Zhong Family’s Thousand Faces Technique.”
“Human skin-mask?” Qi Ning finally regained his senses, and vaguely saw that the human skin-mask in his hand seemed to be the appearance of a middle-aged man.
Zhong Ya nodded and said, “Master Hou saved my beggar gang in distress,
Elder Lou was grateful and wanted to express his gratitude, but since Lord Hou has an honorable status, we beggars have nothing to thank.
After much deliberation, Elder Lou and I discussed to send some gadgets to Hou Ye to enjoy.
”
Qi Ning smiled and said: “Big brother Lou and Mr. Zhong are so polite. Big brother Lou and I are brothers of Yijie Jinlan, not to mention that I also have the intention of serving the court, even if it is not for the court, it is just me and Big Brother Lou. Friendship, there is no thank you.”
Zhong Ya smiled and said: “Master Hou, these human skin-masks are not precious things, but looking at the world, Zhong asked himself that no one’s human skin-masks are better than mine, these few human skin-masks Putting it on the face is enough to make the fake look real. When you use it, you just need to dip the mask in water and put it on your face quickly. Within seven days, the mask will completely fit on your face, just like it was born.”
“Oh?” Qi Ning was actually very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: “It came from Mr. Zhong’s hands, of course it is a good thing. It is better to be respectful than to obey, so I have the cheek to accept it.”
Zhong Ya said: “There are five masks in total, and I made them according to the face of Lord Hou.”
Qi Ning put away the human skin-mask, and then said: “Mr. Zhong came to the capital. As the host, I should naturally have a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, why not…!”
“Master Hou, please don’t be polite.” Zhong Ya immediately said: “If Master Hou is useful for a place to go to the Beggar Gang, please do so at that time. However, it is still difficult for Zhong Mou to go out with Master Hou, so as not to bring trouble to Master Hou. Necessary trouble.” He leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, “Master Hou, please come here today, there is something else I want to tell you about.”
“Mr. Zhong, please tell me.” Seeing Zhong Ya’s serious expression, Qi Ning was obviously not a simple matter.
Zhong Ya thought about it for a while, as if he was considering where to start, and after a little thought, he asked, “Does Marquis know about Yingmouse?”
“Shadow Mouse?” Qi Ning was startled, very unfamiliar, and asked, “Is this Shadow Mouse alone?”
Zhong Ya shook his head and said, “It’s not just one person, but a group of people. This is just a name for a class of people on the rivers and lakes.”
“What kind of person?”
“Assassins!” Zhong Ya said, “These types of people are like wandering souls on the rivers and lakes. They don’t join any gangs, and they don’t make friends. Most of them work alone, and they rarely act in groups.”
Qi Ning frowned and asked, “Why did Mr. Zhong suddenly mention this group of people?”
Zhong Ya said with a solemn expression: “As far as we know, there have been several batches of shadow mice around Gyeonggi recently. Although they are extremely secretive and good at disguising and hiding their whereabouts, they were discovered by the beggar gang. The most surprising thing is that the shadow mouse, who has always been a maverick, has actually begun to have contact.”
“Contact?” Zhong Ya stretched out a finger, dipped it in the tea on the table, and then drew a simple symbol on the table, in the shape of a twisted earthworm. Qi Ning was a little puzzled, and Zhong Ya whispered. : “This is the clue we found. This symbol is the sign of Shadow Mouse’s contact.”
“Shadow Mouse contact?” Qi Ning felt his head a little big at this time, “Mr. Zhong, I still don’t understand.”
Zhong Ya patiently said: “Master Hou, each sect and faction in the Jianghu has its own rules and regulations to restrain their disciples, but there is a type of people who never want to be restrained, and their martial arts skills are not weak, and they disdain to make a living by robbing families. Such people will eventually choose to become shadow mice. Shadow mice are employed by others, and as long as they receive money, they will kill for their employers, and they don’t care who they kill.
Qi Ning’s face was a little ugly, thinking that throughout the ages, the industry of being hired to work for people has never been cut off.
“It’s fine if you kill ordinary people, but if you provoke a bad opponent, even if you succeed and reveal the origin, you will be hunted down and killed in the aftermath.” Zhong Ya said: “So any actor Rat, they will act cautiously, to ensure that they will hit every blow, and they will ensure that they will retreat without leaving any traces.”
Qi Ning sighed, “It’s not easy to do business. Even if you want to kill people, you must have extraordinary professional skills.”
Zhong Ya was stunned for a moment, but continued to explain: “Actually, these types of people are only employed by others, so they can’t talk about enmity with others, and people in the rivers and lakes try not to provoke them. This kind of people also turn a blind eye, after all, it is not easy to find a shadow mouse or even get rid of him.”
Qi Ning said, “Shadow mice are employed by others and make murders for their business. Mr. Zhong said that there have been several shadow mice in the vicinity of Gyeonggi recently. Could it be that these people are all planning to commit murder in the Gyeonggi area?”
“If the shadow mice didn’t receive the mission to kill, you couldn’t find them if you tried to find them.” Zhong Ya sighed: “They will never show up easily and cause trouble for themselves. This time they suddenly appear, they must be I’m about to kill someone, but it’s extremely rare to see several groups of shadow mice all at once.”
“The most important place in the Gyeonggi area is the capital.” Qi Ning frowned and said, “That group of shadow mice wouldn’t come to the capital to kill, right?”
“What purpose they have, and who they are employed by, we don’t know. In fact, even if he captures a shadow mouse, even if he kills him, he will not reveal the slightest clue to his employer.” Zhong Ya said: “Beggar Help someone to see a shadow mouse left this symbol in an inn outside Beijing, after half a day, another shadow mouse connected with the previous person through the symbol, and the two disappeared from the inn together.”
“Where did they go?”
Zhong Ya shook his head: “The whereabouts of the shadow mouse are secretive, and they are best at tracking them. Our people know not to watch too closely, and the beggar gang also tries not to provoke these people, so they didn’t go to inquire about this information later.” After a pause, Only then did he whisper: “But according to the news, both the red scorpion and the Mangshan wolf have already appeared.”
“Red scorpion? Mangshan wolf?” Qi Ning asked curiously, “These two are also shadow mice?”
