Chapter 161 Changxing Inn (Part )

In the morning, in a guest room on the second floor of Changxing Inn, Song Yu, Qin San and the "Lutheran and Dancing Demons" sat around the table.

From the moment he entered the door until now, Qin San has been looking at Old Man Liu and Meihua, who had just escaped death, with suspicion on his face. He seemed to be hesitant to speak several times, as if he was full of curiosity about the two of them.

At this moment, Old Man Liu and Meihua were still immersed in the shadow of "ghosts", drinking tea to calm their nerves. On the other hand, Song Yu looked at Old Man Liu and Meihua with a playful look in his eyes.

"Mr. Song, you asked me to meet you at Kaiyuan Mansion. Is it just to meet them?" After hesitating for a while, Qin San finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and asked Song Yu.

Song Yu did not directly answer Qin San's question, but smiled lightly and asked, "Master Qin San, do you know who they are?"

Qin San looked at Old Man Liu and Meihua again, and guessed hesitantly, "I heard that in the past two years, a father and daughter appeared in the martial arts world who killed people without blinking an eye. They are nicknamed 'Qin Mo Wu Yao'. These two prefer to disguise themselves as street singers. Could it be... that they are the ones you are talking about?"

"Mr. Qin San, you are wrong." Old Man Liu laughed dryly, "My father and I did not disguise ourselves as street singers. We make a living by singing."

Old Man Liu's words were an acknowledgement of Qin San's speculation. Song Yu remained calm, but Qin San felt uneasy. He stared at the Qin Demon and the Wu Yao with a bad face, and asked Song Yu in a deep voice without turning his head, "Song Gongzi, these two are notorious in the martial arts world, and have a lot of blood debts. People like us from famous and upright families should kill them. Why did you save them today? Could it be that you already knew each other?"

"I take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." Old man Liu reached out to touch the teacup on the table and said calmly, "It is said that Qin Gang, the founder of the Hexi Qin family, has killed countless people and has a lot of blood debts. He is domineering and treats human life as worthless. He is even called 'Ba Dao' and is notorious. Why are his descendants now upright people, while we father and daughter are being killed by everyone?"

How could the hot-tempered Qin San tolerate the fact that Old Man Liu mocked the Qin family's ancestor in person? So before Old Man Liu could finish his words, Qin San flew into a rage and immediately slammed the table and put the Lieyang Blade directly on Old Man Liu's neck, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Old thing, you dare to defile my Qin family's ancestor, are you tired of living?"

"You say that I am a bad guy, but I have no grudge against you. Today, you want to kill me with a knife just because of a disagreement. Aren't you worse than me, a bad guy?" Old Man Liu was held hostage by Qin San with a knife, but he was not afraid at all. He even waved his hand to stop Meihua from counterattacking. He put on an air of neither servility nor arrogance, and his words were full of sarcasm and ridicule. It was obvious that he was deliberately confronting Qin San.

In fact, the reason why Old Man Liu was so angry was not because he was targeting Qin San intentionally, but because he had been holding back a lot of anger in his chest for the past few days, and he had no place to vent it. Just now, he was almost beheaded by Qin Ku, which made him even more angry. Although he was angry, he did not dare to get angry at Song Yu. As the saying goes: Pick the weak ones. At this moment, Qin San was undoubtedly the only "soft persimmon" in this guest room that could make Old Man Liu vent his anger.

In addition, the reason why Old Man Liu dared to be fearless under Qin Sandao was because he knew very well that Song Yu would never sit idly by.

Qin San had never been so humiliated before. He could not win the argument with Old Man Liu, so he simply got angry and shouted that he was about to chop off Old Man Liu's head with a knife. After watching the good show for a long time, Song Yu finally decided to mediate.

"Master Qin San, please be patient!" Song Yu stood up and stopped Qin San, saying with a smile, "Today, they came here for me, and it has nothing to do with Master Qin San. Let me explain to them first, and then I will discuss the matter of March 1st with you."

Qin San snorted coldly, waved his knife and pointed at the cold-faced Old Man Liu and the indignant Meihua, and said coldly: "If it weren't for Mr. Song's face today, I would have killed you!" After that, without waiting for Song Yu to persuade him again, Qin San angrily said, "Since Mr. Song has something to discuss with them, Qin will take his leave first."

"Master Qin San, please stay!" Song Yu said hurriedly, "Since I have invited you to come to Changxing Inn, there is no need to be shy about anything. Master Qin San, just sit aside, and you can listen to everything I talk about with the Qin Demon and the Wu Yao today."

"This..." Seeing Song Yu's serious look, Qin San became a little hesitant.

"Master Qin, there is no need to be so formal." Song Yu said with a smile, "The master of my family has known the master of the Qin family for many years and they have a very close relationship, so the Jinjianwu and the Hexi Qin family should be as close as one family. You and I are one family, so why should we talk about our differences? Master Qin, please take a seat! Listen to what I have to say to them, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

Song Yu was so sincere that Qin San couldn't refuse, so he could only sit down again with a suspicious look on his face.

Song Yu nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Old Man Liu and Meihua, and said with a smile: "You two have done a good job. This is your reward."

After that, Song Yu took out a stack of silver bills from his bosom and placed them on the table, and then said: "These are silver bills worth fifty taels of gold. Counting the deposit I gave before, the total is one hundred taels of gold. You two can check them."

"No need!" Old Man Liu gently pressed his right hand on the banknote, flipped it a few times with his thumb, and then handed the banknote to Meihua to put away. He then said calmly, "This matter cost us a life-or-death experience. We almost died several times. This hundred taels of gold is worth it."

"Oh?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "From what you said, it seems that you are not very satisfied with the price?"

"I am indeed dissatisfied." Old Man Liu said bluntly, "This matter is far more troublesome than we imagined. I'm sure you should have heard about how big the mess we made is. You offered us 100 taels of gold to let us kill Wang Qingshu and put the blame on the Xianwang Mansion, but now Luo Tianjin is offering 1,000 taels of gold to buy the heads of my father and daughter. Which is more important? You know it yourself. Since my father and I fell into the underworld, although we have been doing the business of buying lives for money, we know how to judge the degree and know who to offend and who not to offend. This time, I was moved by your 100 taels of gold, and I was confused for a moment, causing a huge disaster. Now it's too late to regret, but there is nothing I can do."

Qin San was secretly shocked by the conversation between Song Yu and Old Man Liu. He thought, "It turns out that Song Yu paid the Qin Demon and Wu Yao to deal with the Xianwang Mansion. It seems that the dispute between Jin Jianwu and the Xianwang Mansion has intensified and even reached a point where it is difficult to reconcile. So, this time the head of the family asked Jin Jianwu for help, and our two families can just join forces to fight against the Xianwang Mansion that stands behind the Pan family, and the Shaolin bald donkey who has been in the same boat with Luo Tianjin for many years."

"Haha..." In response to Liu Lao Han's words of regret, Song Yu suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter full of bohemian meaning, "I didn't expect that the Qin Mo Wu Yao, who always saw money, would regret it one day? As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. What you did in the past were all small businesses that were not worthy of your attention. Most of the people you killed were nameless people. You were entangled in the private grudges of these mediocre people all day long. Although your life is not in danger, you probably can't make much money in a year. Although my one hundred taels of gold is not much, it is a reward that you dare not even think about for several years or even decades. If you want to be famous and want to have a fortune, you must learn to do big business. For example, what you did in Luoyang City this time is a big business that is enough to be widely circulated in the world." "Small capital makes small profits. Although your business is big, the capital is also big." Liu Lao Han sneered, "The capital in the past was just a waste of time, but the capital required for this matter is the lives of my father and daughter."

"Do you regret it?" Song Yu asked with a smile.

"Although I feel regretful, I always keep my word and follow through on my actions." Old Man Liu snorted coldly, "Since I promised to take your money, I will definitely complete the task for you. Now that the matter is done and the money has been settled, we no longer owe each other anything in the future. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

After saying that, Old Man Liu, with the help of Meihua, tried to get up, but Song Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Please stay, Song has a business deal. Are you interested?"

Old man Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "We have offended Prince Xian's Mansion. Our lives are in danger and we have to flee from home. How dare we take on your business again?" After saying that, Old man Liu, supported by Meihua, slowly walked towards the door.

"Since we have already offended the Xianwang Mansion, why should we be afraid of offending it again?" Song Yu sat at the table and spoke slowly, "Anyway, if you stick your head out, you will be cut by the knife. If you hide your head, you will also be cut by the knife. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try. Maybe you can get a glimmer of hope, or even get a worry-free and wealthy life!"

Hearing this, Old Man Liu, who had already made up his mind, suddenly stopped and stood quietly in front of the door without saying a word, as if hesitating about something.

"The reason you are so afraid is because you are worried that Luo Tianjin will not let you go." Song Yu continued, "But if Luo Tianjin dies and the Xianwang Mansion disappears from the world, do you still need to be afraid?"

Song Yu's words made Old Man Liu frown, and he slowly said, "Go on."

Hearing this, Song Yu's smile became even more intense, and he continued, "Before, I asked you to kill Wang Qingshu just to test your skills and courage. A mere 100 taels of gold is really insignificant, and it can't be called a big deal at all. Now that you have proven yourselves, I can give you this real big deal."

"Big deal?" Meihua turned to look at Song Yu curiously, and asked suspiciously, "How big is it? Could the reward be more than one hundred taels of gold?"

"Ten thousand taels of gold!" Song Yu replied word by word, "How is it?"

"hiss!"

When Song Yu said this, not only Old Man Liu and Meihua, but even Qin San couldn't help but gasp.

Ten thousand taels of gold, this wealth is no joke even for Shen Dongshan, the richest man in the Song Dynasty. If they really had so much money, Old Man Liu and Meihua would not have to worry about wealth and glory in this life, even in ten lives.

Old Man Liu finally couldn't hold back his greed anymore. He slowly turned around and said hesitantly with trembling lips, "A mere 100 taels of gold has almost cost my father and daughter their lives. Now you are offering 10,000 taels of gold... If there is any mistake, my father and daughter will die without a burial place, right?"

"With great wealth and honor comes great danger." Song Yu said quietly, "I'm sure you've heard that two days after Wang Qingshu's death, the General's Mansion in Luoyang was destroyed by a group of civilian righteous troops that appeared out of nowhere. After the fight, no one in the General's Mansion was left alive, and Wang Xutong's entire family was wiped out."

"I've heard something about this." Old Man Liu nodded slowly and asked, "What does this have to do with us?"

"They say they are civilian righteous armies, but in fact, you and I both know that this must have been done by Luo Tianjin." Song Yu smiled sinisterly, "Luo Tianjin is extremely cunning. He is now crying thief, cutting off the roots while pretending to tip off the Mongolian court, pretending to be indifferent and panic. Now, most of Wang Xutong and all those who knew about it are dead, so there is no evidence. We can only let Luo Tianjin make up stories. In this way, I asked you to rack your brains to kill Wang Qingshu and put the blame on the Xianwang Mansion. Isn't it in vain and a waste of effort?"

Old Man Liu seemed to have heard a clue from Song Yu's words, and said thoughtfully: "Then what do you want us to do?"

"I've just said that most of those who knew the inside story are dead, except for..." At this point, Song Yu's eyes suddenly focused, looking at Old Man Liu and Meihua meaningfully, and slowly said, "You two!"

"what do you mean……"

"I would like to ask the two of you to go to Mobei and personally tell the Mongolian court in detail the fight between Wang Xutong and Luo Tianjin, as well as the ins and outs of the Luoyang bloodbath." Song Yu grinned, "As long as the Mongolian court is furious, Luo Tianjin's death... will not be far away."
