Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 947 The old beggar

Shi Ya walked into a remote alley together with the mysterious old man.

At this time, he also saw that the left hand under the old man's sleeve was holding a broken bowl with several gaps.It looks like an old beggar that is common on the street.

The two of them walked all the way to the end of the alley before the old man stood still.

"Young man, generally speaking, you are really desperate in this matter. But now, fortunately, you have met me."

"Why..." Listening to his tone, Shi Ya inexplicably ignited a wave of hope, "Are you also borrowing money? Will the interest... be lower than that?"

The old man smiled mysteriously: "We don't want interest."

"We don't even need you to repay the principal."

Shia was stunned.If he was happy at the old man's words at first, but the loan that he didn't have to repay, it sounded like a scam no matter what.

"This...does you want to give me a sum of money for free? But...there is no such thing as a free lunch!"

Hearing what he said, the old man leaned on a cane, his body trembled slightly, and he let out a cackle like a crow.

"Hehehe, you also understand this sentence, so it's easy to say. We will indeed give you a large sum of money, enough for you to pay for your medical expenses, but it is not a loan to you, but a reward for you."

"It's for you, the reward for killing us."

Like a bolt from the blue, Shi Ya's face turned pale instantly.

"Kill... kill? How can this work? I have never killed anyone! No... It's not the problem, it's that I can't kill people!"

"What's wrong?" The old man aggressively took a step closer to him, "This is how the world is, if he doesn't die, your family will die. Do you want your family to die for someone you don't know?" ?”

"But..." Shi Ya was at a loss, "This...is still not allowed, can we change the conditions?"

For a law-abiding top student, he always felt that those murders were far away from him.Now suddenly there is a person who said lightly that he asked himself to kill for them... He said "killing" in a tone as flat as if he just drank a sip of cold water... Shi Ya's back felt cold, did he meet by accident? Who is it?They can't be a big criminal gang, can they?
Looking at his frightened expression, the old man seemed to be enjoying a very wonderful funny show.He grinned, revealing a mouthful of slightly yellowed teeth, and his smile was as sinister as poison.

"Think about it for yourself. If you think about it, you can come here to see me at night. If you don't come, I will treat you as a rejection."

"Anyway, remember," he approached Shi Ya again, "Since we can afford the money, we won't find people who are willing to do things. We don't need you, but you need us."

……

That last sentence has been echoing in Shi Ya's mind.

Indeed, it is not them who have no choice now, but themselves.

However, as long as there is still a chance, he is absolutely unwilling to kill people!If he killed someone, he would become a criminal, and his future and hope would all be over!If he had to kill people, he would rather go back and borrow usury!But……

With chaotic thoughts, Shi Ya has been walking on that street for a long time.

It wasn't until night fell, when he truly realized that there would be no more fairytale-like turning points, that he returned to the hospital in a state of embarrassment.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, he saw several medical staff pushing a stretcher cart, running back and forth in the corridor.And his parents were also lying on two of the stretchers!
"What are you doing?" Shi Ya hurried over and shouted anxiously.

Standing beside the stretcher was a female head nurse in her 40s.Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she was wearing a make-up that made people feel mean at first sight.The eyebrows were high, the lips were bright red, and the face was so white it looked like it had been painted over.Seeing Shi Ya, she pursed her thin lips and walked over holding the record book.

"It's just in time for you to come back. The chairman of the Wanhai Consortium has a sudden illness and needs to be hospitalized. Now Wanhai has booked the entire medical clinic, because their chairman doesn't like to see idlers. Take your family, let's go."

Although Shi Ya has seen all the cold eyes of others these days, the public expulsion of the hospital still caused the veins on his forehead to pop out: "This...isn't this bullying? Now this black light is blind, let us go Where are you going?"

Seeing the head nurse's lofty posture, Shi Ya's body became shorter again.He knew that he had no money in his hands, so he didn't have the capital to vent his anger wantonly.

"Please..." Shi Ya lowered her head and begged bitterly, "Please... I'm really tight right now, but I will definitely find a way to pay the medical expenses, please don't drive us away... "

The head nurse didn't even bother to look at him, leaving him with only an indifferent glance.That undisguised contempt seemed to be looking at a beggar.

"Didn't you even pay the bed fee? Then you can't afford to pay the follow-up fees. All the medicines we use here are of the highest quality! Then do a full-body examination, and there are other miscellaneous expenses. I won't tell you the details. In short, you should hurry up, don't waste your time with us, just find a small clinic and make do with life or death, ah."

Shi Ya wanted to ask again, but the head nurse suddenly glanced up and down at him: "Hey, are you still a student?"

Hearing the change in her tone, Shi Ya thought that she was intentionally forgiving herself, and nodded quickly.Unexpectedly, what he got was a more contemptuous ridicule: "That is, you don't even have a basic income. What do you use to raise money?"

On the stretcher beside him, Shi Ya's parents were covered with tubes all over their bodies.And those medical staff were violently dismantling the medical equipment.Even unconsciously, the two old men hummed uncomfortably.

The head nurse had already turned her head away, trimming her nails on her own.The red lips were like blood, and the nails were even more bright red. The little drops of blood seemed to overflow at any moment.

Yes, she, and this medical clinic, how many people have been eaten and how many patients have been cut off.They... were indeed stained with countless blood!

Shi Ya was so angry and impatient that his voice broke, and he said, "I... I will take part in the Tiangongmen's assessment soon! After a few years, the income will definitely not be a problem..."

The head nurse sneered, and cast a disgusted glance at him: "Let's talk about it after you pass the exam."

These words were like a heavy slap on his face.

No one cares about his ambition, no one is willing to give him time.As long as he can't afford the money now, he is a waste.

The same is fate, is the life of the poor lower than the life of the rich?The chairman of the Wanhai Consortium, he can rent out the entire medical clinic just because he "doesn't want to see idle people waiting".And these poor people don't even have a bed, not even a place to stay...

He is also alive, why does he have to live so humblely?

No, what's even more absurd is, why did he use his humble life to protect the lives of those rich people who are sitting on mountains of gold and silver?If their lives can help you tide over the difficulties, then let them die... When you get to the underworld, look at these rich people, are they still superior to others?
In just a short moment, Shi Ya's mentality has undergone a huge change.

Seeing the head nurse turned around to leave, Shi Ya shouted in a deep voice, "Wait!"

"Don't you just want money? Okay, I'll pay all the money tonight! Just wait for me!"

……

He went back to the alley anyway.

Back to this place, where he thought he would never come back.

Running all the way across the street, at some point in the sky there were lightning flashes and thunder, and the pouring rain poured down, Shi Ya was drenched through.Fortunately, when he rushed to the alley, there was a whole row of high and low eaves here, which could temporarily block the wind and rain.

The old man was waiting there as promised.When she saw him, a light flashed in her eyes imperceptibly.Put away the broken begging bowl in front of him, and walked slowly to him on crutches.

"You finally came."

"Why, have you figured it all out?"

Shi Ya gritted her teeth and nodded heavily: "No one cares about the life and death of our family except myself."

If those indifferent people are the ones to be killed, why would I bother to cut off my way of life in order to protect them?
Adversity makes people grow.However, it is not necessarily a good growth.

After hearing his reply, the old man didn't have any troubles in his eyes.It seemed that Shi Ya's choice had already been expected by him.

"That's right. Young people, you should think more about yourself."

"Who do you want me to kill?" Shi Ya didn't want to chat too much, and got straight to the point.He couldn't wait to take the money back and slap that head nurse in the face!
The old man was also straightforward, and he didn't make too much of a fuss, and replied lightly: "Prince of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom, Gu Mingxu."

Even though Shi Ya had already made preparations, he was still shocked at this moment: "What? Heavenly Holy Prince? Are you kidding me? If you kill the prince, can the royal family let it go? The situation of me and my family... ..."

"That depends on whether you have the ability to do it seamlessly." The old man smiled at him, interrupting all his rebuttals.

"During the Tiangongmen assessment, there will be a group battle. I will put you in the same group as that prince. Then, you will kill him in the arena!"

"Don't worry, there are so many candidates participating in the competition, as long as you are careful, no one will find you."

Shi Ya's eyes flickered several times.Perhaps it was his deep disappointment with this society that made him no longer want to argue with nonsense such as "the prince is innocent" and "he has no grievances with me".His way of thinking also quickly changed from "can't kill" to "how to kill".

"But... there is one more problem."

When Shi Ya said these words, his eyes were shockingly indifferent.Ending a human life seems to have no moral pressure on him.If his former classmates in Wu Ya met him, they would definitely not recognize him. This is the student representative who was excellent in character and learning.

"The other party is the prince, right? In other words, he must have received the best training since he was a child. I'm sure I can't beat him, so... how can I kill him?"

When the old man saw that he was "knowing current affairs" like this, a satisfied glint flashed in his eyes.

"The organization has taken this into account as well. So we've prepared this for you."

He raised his hand and turned it over, handing over a small porcelain bottle.

"This kind of poison, which seals the throat when it sees blood, has always been the favorite of members of the royal family."

Shi Ya raised his hand halfway and froze in mid-air.After all, he was still scared.

"Prepare a dagger, apply this poison on the blade in advance, and then approach Gu Mingxu." The old man said coldly, "As long as you can cut a wound on his body, the poison will immediately seep into his blood .He will lose consciousness in the shortest possible time, and he will definitely die. And you, with our reward, will retreat unscathed."

After Shi Ya took the poison, the old man raised his hand again, and this time he handed out a thick stack of banknotes.

A bright flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the large bank notes.The bright red seal on the top is so red that it seems to bleed.

"This is a deposit for you. It is enough to pay for medical expenses. When you successfully assassinate Gu Mingxu, we will give you another reward. It is enough for your family to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Wealth and wealth are in danger, young people, take good care of them." The old man smiled coldly, but his palms did not retract, "Then, wish us a happy cooperation?"

Shi Ya stared blankly at the bank notes, he had never seen so much money in his life.

It turns out that money can come so easily, as long as you sell your conscience...

But, ah, conscience can be exchanged for money, so why keep it compared to a conscience that can't be eaten, used, or saved at critical moments?

Thinking of this, Shi Ya also stretched out his hand, and took the old man's palm like dry bark: "It's a happy cooperation."

The old man smiled in satisfaction, but unexpectedly, his hand suddenly increased force, pinching Shi Ya's bones to the point of shattering.

"However, I want to remind you that since you have gone this way, you will be responsible for the good and the bad. No matter at any time, you must never reveal your relationship with the organization. Otherwise, we can ask If your whole family is born, you can also have your whole family die, remember clearly—”

Lightning pierced through the gloomy sky, illuminating that ghostly face.

……

"You will all know what happened later."

Shia sighed.Thinking back to that time, he felt as if he had been fascinated by ghosts.The self who can sell his soul without hesitation for money is really terrifying...

"In other words, you don't know why they wanted to kill Gu Mingxu, do you?" Wen Zhichen asked.

Previously, when Tang Mu talked with him in the dark, he intentionally said that the next task was to assassinate Gu Mingxu.I just want to know whether Shi Ya knows the secret inside.

"I also thought about it in private," Shi Ya swallowed. "Maybe, they just want to make the country into chaos? Because, isn't there a group of people who are planning to start a war?"

Obviously, he really didn't know.The clue came here, and it seemed to be broken again.

"From what you said, I think they have been eyeing you early in the morning." At this moment, Feng Boliang who was on the side suddenly spoke.

"You think, if they want someone to assassinate, they can't just drag someone on the street? Otherwise, you were not the only loan shark at that time, why did they find you?"

This has always been Shi Ya's confusion, and he couldn't help breathing quickly.But... why is it me?
"Because you meet their conditions." Shen Antong also said in a deep voice, "You are a talented student in Wuya, with excellent strength and brains, and it happens that your family is poor. Then, just try to make your family fall into a subversive crisis." In a big crisis, you, who are devastated, can only be at their mercy."

"So, your father's injuries are probably caused by them." Feng Baoliang nodded slightly, and continued, "Didn't you say that the other workers present were hesitating? Perhaps in fact, they know something, But people from that organization threatened to 'shut up'."

"Is this... is this true?" Shi Ya's mind went blank.He used to feel that even though those people were only using him when his family encountered a catastrophe, they still helped him after all.Who would have thought... who would have thought that this was a trap from the very beginning?To force yourself into a trap?
It would be fine if it was just to design themselves, but they actually involved their innocent family members... Shi Ya clenched his fists tightly.Those frenzied beasts must not be let go!
"You said just now that before the assessment, they said they would put you and Gu Mingxu in the same group, right?" Wen Zhichen noticed something again, "Why can they do this? Could it be that they have stretched out their hands?" Have you reached the gate of Tiangong?"

"It's urgent, I'll ask the team that drew up the list right away." The bearded examiner didn't dare to neglect at this time, and quickly started a video call to get in touch with the examiners in another room.

During the brief exchange, all the examiners responded that there was nothing abnormal in the grouping process.After answering, only one examiner rushed forward and added:

"I remembered! On the day the list was drawn up, I once saw an old beggar outside the hall. Seeing that he was dressed in rags, I went out and gave him a few spirit stones. I only had this time when I left the duty room. Could it be... related to that old beggar?"

"What? An old beggar?" Shi Ya suddenly jumped up, "The person who joined me is also an old beggar!"

Everyone looked at each other, who is this mysterious old beggar?And the mysterious organization behind him, what kind of conspiracy is brewing?
The mystery of the murderer has been solved, but the secret drawn out seems to be getting more and more complicated!
