Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Sui'an City. Hefu Courtyard.

"Master."

A figure pushed the door open.

"who?"

He Jing asked.

"Sir, it's me."

This man was wearing a green robe and held an oil lamp in his hand.

"Qi Baiyi from the Huma Gang is here, and he brought good news to the elder. He said: He has found the man."

He Jin was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, but after hearing this, he immediately sat up from the bed.

His wrinkled eyes quickly narrowed into slits.

"Is it done?"

"Of course it's done."

The person holding the oil lamp was He Jin's confidant, and he smiled.

"Congratulations, sir. Once the eldest grandson of the eldest family dies, you will be the legitimate head of the He family."

"Okay, okay."

He Jin said "good" three times in a row, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, and his eyebrows trembled several times on his face.

"By the way, where is the body?"

"Qi Baiyi said he was worried that you would always be worried, so he brought the body with him."

He Jin's confidant said with a smile: "This man is also clever. His men packed He Ping's body in a large wooden box and transported it into the city pretending to be goods. No one noticed anything wrong with the box along the way."

"Qi Baiyi from the Huma Gang is better than Jie San."

He Jin stroked his beard and smiled.

"I asked Jie San to find an opportunity for me to get rid of that person before. That Jie San is very cunning and refuses to agree... Qi Baiyi, young people are young people, full of energy, and much more efficient in doing things. "

"Then the reward of ten thousand taels of silver that Qi Baiyi wants? Do we really want to give it to-"

The confidant asked in a low voice.

He Jin half-closed his eyes slightly,

"The He family's money has been saved bit by bit. I'm not that kid from He Ping who eats rice without knowing its price... Go and tell the ministers in the house to light up their troops and ambush them in the living room. Nearby, wait for my order!"

He made a gesture of raising his hand and brandishing a knife, and He Jin's confidants immediately retreated in awe.

…

Qi Baiyi took his closest brothers and carried a large brown wooden box into the main entrance of He Mansion's courtyard.

Passing through the screen wall facing the main entrance and entering this room, one is greeted by the aura of jewels and jewels. The courtyard of He Mansion is luxuriously decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, and Zhu Zhu Ling Yun. It is so magnificent that the Huma Gang's knife blades lick blood. The bumpkins who lived their lives were dumbfounded.

Qi Baiyi, the leader, also felt this in his heart.

"The He family made their fortune by selling rice. Within several generations, they accumulated tens of thousands of dollars. I don't know how much money it cost to build this village with so much effort..."

Qi Baiyi also came from a poor family. His father was a horse runner. He took him to Mobei with a horse-selling caravan to seek a living. As a result, he encountered a "green" horse thief.

There are also several groups of horse thieves in Mobei. The horse thieves who use their horses and swords to run in single gangs only rob red goods without committing any crime or hurting anyone. There are also those who gather in groups of 180 or more, who are used to robbing goods and calling the thieves away. , usually they don’t kill people, especially for caravans running pack horses, they often don’t even take away the animals. This kind of horse thieves always regard this business as a crop, harvesting every crop.

The only exception is "Qing Qing" who acts arrogantly. This guy is hated by gods and ghosts in Mobei. If he encounters him, he will crush the bones of a dead person and suck out the marrow. Qi Baiyi was able to survive in the first place. His father pinned him down, but except for him, including his parents, no one in the entire caravan survived.

Jie San may not be a good person, but he avenged Qi Baiyi's parents. Qi Baiyi wanted to repay his kindness, so he took over as the leader of the Huma Gang after Jie San's death.

His role as the leader of the gang was not satisfactory. Jie San had many grudges in his life. He and Shen Eryi died. The Hu Ma Gang became the target of public criticism because of their past grudges and business matters. Although Qi Baiyi struggled to support him, he still He felt that he was alone and weak... Apart from other things, he was not good at business matters. During this period of time, the Huma Gang was unable to make ends meet and found it difficult to sustain itself.

When he came to the He Mansion Courtyard this time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the luxury of the Shenmen Courtyard. At this moment, He Jin's confidant, the man in Tsing Yi, came into the living room.

"You are Qi Baiyi."

He Jin sat on a chair, changed into brocade clothes, and reached out to hold a cup of tea.

"By the way, where is the thing?"

"Mr. He, this is it."

Qi Baiyi ordered his men to put the box down and open it at the same time. There was a dead body lying inside.

The corpse was pale, without a trace of blood. That face was indeed He Ping's face. He Jin could see it clearly through the light in the hall.

"Well done."

He Jin laughed with satisfaction. He stood up, took the sword handed over by his confidant, pulled out the sword, moved his body, and stabbed the man lying in the box with the sword at a speed faster than lightning. on the dead body.

"etc!"

Qi Baiyi was shocked and lost his mind. He had not expected that He Jin's swordsmanship was so fast. The other party had at least thirty or forty years of skill in the sword. I am afraid that the other party's swordsmanship was not inferior to that of Taoist Chiling from Feiyumen.

(Damn it... This He Jin of the He family is so well hidden and so skilled in swordsmanship, I really regret it in my life.)

As soon as Qi Baiyi put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, He Jin's eyes flashed, and He Jin had already pierced He Ping's heart with his sword. The sword move was poisonous and spicy. In terms of its severity, it would not be an exaggeration to call him "Grand Master" .

"Uh-huh!"

He Jin sheathed his sword and stabbed the corpse in the heart. He felt relieved knowing that it was indeed He Ping's dead body.

"Well done, Qi Baiyi, He Ping is finally dead. It can be said that you have made a great contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"

Qi Baiyi laughed when he saw He Jin asking this question.

"Why should Mr. He ask questions knowingly? All I want is money... As an outsider, I won't ask any more questions about your He family's affairs. Please give me the reward, Mr. He. My brothers from the Huma Gang and I will leave He's house immediately. , I can guarantee that I won’t reveal even a single word about what happened here.”

"I trust Gang Leader Qi."

He Jin sat back on the chair.

"However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Except for the dead, there is no one who will not reveal your so-called 'secret'. I'm sorry, Gang Leader Qi. I will only ask you to go on your way."

He signaled to his confidant, and the man in green immediately rang the bell in his hand. This bell was used to call the many guards hiding outside the living room. However, this "confidant" rang the bell several times, but nothing happened. A figure came into the living room.

"this……"

The man in Tsing Yi's expression changed slightly, and when the bell rang, it was a signal, and the guards of the He Mansion would rush in and kill him.

But now, he has been shaking for so long, but there is no sound outside the living room. Behind the rockeries and the shades of the garden trees, everything was silent. When the bell in my hand stopped ringing, everything was so still that even the chirping of insects in the summer night could not be heard.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Qi Baiyi laughed loudly and drew his sword. Behind him, there was a sound of gold and iron. Several of his men also drew their sabers and pointed them at He Jin who was sitting on the chair.

"Mr. He, it's really difficult to do your business," his face suddenly changed, and he smiled sinisterly: "I'm so sorry, doing business with you is such a loss, I had no choice but to invest in another company."

"you……"

He Jin also noticed something strange, and suddenly stood up from the chair. As soon as he stood up, his face suddenly turned blue, his eyes widened, and his whole body froze in place, motionless, as if he had been cast under a restraining spell. .

(——What kind of magic is this?)

He Jin's complexion suddenly changed, turning from pale to green quickly, and cold sweat was pouring down his back. At this moment, he could not move at all, as if he was being suppressed by a nightmare - it was not that he was unwilling to move, but that the cloth around his body was It was filled with fine silk threads, which were invisible threads invisible to the naked eye. They were wrapped around He Jin's body from all directions, fixing his entire body.

The Qingyi confidant standing next to He Jin also had the same livid face, and his body was covered with lead, making it difficult to move. He was frozen in place, holding a bell in his hand, and posing in an extremely funny posture.

Seeing the posture of his confidant, He Jin didn't feel the least bit funny. His heart was filled with bottomless fear.

"Master He Fang, why do you want to be the enemy of my He family?"

He Jin's lips trembled, and when he was about to speak, he saw a figure in rich clothes in the corner, walking over slowly.

Suddenly, he struggled to open his eyes, dilated his pupils, and stared at the figure in rich clothes. The man smiled sparsely and smoothed his long beard under his chin.

"He Jin, look at my outfit, does it look familiar?"

He Jin's pupils trembled. The man walked from the shadows into the light. This time he saw it clearly. The man's clothes and face were clearly the same as his. No, it was like another one in the mirror. Face.

"You...who are you?"

He Jin asked subconsciously.

Standing on the other side, "He Jin" who looked the same as himself grinned.

"Uncle, you are too stupid..."

This voice was unusually familiar. He Jin was startled. He recognized that it was He Ping's voice.

"He, He Ping, you are not dead."

"Of course I'm not dead."

He Ping, disguised as "He Jin", walked slowly over and stretched out his hand to strangle He Jin's throat.

"Uncle, you didn't have to die, but you and your stupid son shouldn't want to get involved in things that are not yours... After all, the He family's property is not worth mentioning to me, even if it is given to you It's not impossible, who knows if you idiots are so stupid that you have to set your sights on me and reincarnate in your next life, remember to be smart and don't mess with people you don't dare to mess with."

"It was you... who killed... Xiping..."

He Jin's eyes were bulging, and his face was swollen with a terrible purple color. He could not move his whole body. The fear of death seized his mind. It was not until his neck was broken that everything finally ended...

…

After killing He Jin, He Ping, who disguised himself as "He Jin" through the art of disguise, sat on the chair with a golden sword, and the "confidant" in Tsing Yi stood beside him tremblingly.

"Young Master He... those nursing homes were all dealt with by us, and the corpses hid behind them."

"well done."

He Ping nodded.

"The affairs at He Jin's Mansion are easy to deal with, but it will be more troublesome to enter Magistrate Sheng's mansion next. You don't have to go, just take care of the surroundings."

"yes."

Qi Baiyi nodded, left two of his men behind, and left with a few others.

He Ping turned his head and looked at the man in green beside him.

"You should know what to do next!"

"Know, know."

The man nodded hurriedly.

"That's good."

He Ping smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were crooked on his old face after the disguise, revealing an ugly smile.

"Call the men and horses in the house and get ready. We will go to Magistrate Sheng to deliver a big gift. I believe that after tonight, Magistrate Sheng will still remember this gift and will never forget it."
