Six Ways of Fumo

Article 1996 A
There is a difference between borrowing a knife and selling a knife.Boss Bu is a playboy, but he is not stupid.

If you borrow your own knife and stab the king with it, Boss Bu is an accomplice and wants to implicate the nine clans; will be implicated.That's the difference.

Last time Bu Lao Da killed Bu Lao Er, the reason for the light sentence was actually because he took advantage of a loophole in the law.

There was a saying in the past that if the king asks the minister to die, the minister will have to die.The father tells the son to perish, and the son has to perish.The eldest brother is like his father. If he kills his younger brother, he can declare to the outside world that his younger brother is rebellious and unworthy.If the younger brother kills the older brother, it is called brother-killing, which is a crime of treason.

Boss Bu can be brought back alive. The relationship between the brothers is also very important.

The old monk smiled and shook his head, saying: "I won't hurt you, and maybe I will give you a fortune."

"There are more and more good things happening, old monk, please tell me clearly, what is going on?" Boss Bu asked, becoming more and more interested.

"May I ask, sir, who was the famous Longbu Longbu who was famous in the past, but who was your father?" the old monk asked.

"It's my late father." Boss Bu replied.

The old monk nodded and said: "Your father was the most outstanding executioner in the Qing Dynasty and the number one killer in Caishikou. Why do you have no son to inherit your father's business, but you have to make a living by pawning your ancestral home, and now you are here to sell this unique property?" All the swords?”

Boss Bu blushed, hesitated for a while, and said, "I could join the criminal squad, but I committed some crimes and was dismissed. After I came out, I didn't have money to take care of me, so I couldn't be an executioner if I wanted to."

In the Qing Dynasty, some minor positions could be hereditary, such as executioner.Boss Bu could have inherited his father's legacy and served in the firing squad, but because he was imprisoned for killing his younger brother, he was deprived of this qualification and kicked out of the public institutions of the Qing Dynasty.

Otherwise, with a job and an income, Boss Bu would not be so poor.

"How much does it cost to take care of your relationship and get back into the firing squad of the Criminal Department?" the old monk asked.

"About... 50 taels of silver." Boss Bu thought about it in his heart and said.

The old monk nodded and said, "I'll give you 100 taels. You can use 50 taels to manage your relationship, join the execution team again, and find a job to live in, okay?"

"Master, if you really help me like this, then you will be my reincarnated parents!" Boss Bu got up and left the table, bowed deeply to express his thanks, and asked, "But Master, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"I want you to join the execution team and execute a criminal with the sword in your hand!" said the old monk.

Such a simple thing?
Boss Bu frowned slightly and said: "As long as I can sneak in, I can fight for the execution of that person. Okay, I promise you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sneak in. By the way, who is that person?"

The old monk opened his bag, took out 100 taels of Taizhou silver ingots, and said, "I will give you these 100 taels of silver first. The prisoner is scheduled to be executed in seven days, and his name is Cheng Jia. If you keep your word, then I will Thank you again."

Boss Bu was so excited that he took Bai Huahua's silver into his arms and asked: "Master, does this Cheng Jia have a grudge against you? Do you want me to kill him with a blood-swallowing knife? Do you have any special requirements?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. I will tell you after you wield the knife to execute the execution." The old monk stood up and left the table, saying: "But don't break your promise, otherwise, you cannot afford the consequences."

After saying that, the old monk walked straight out of the restaurant with his sleeves fluttering.

Boss Bu immediately chased him out and found that the old monk had walked away, his back blending into the crowd and gradually disappearing.

"Damn, I finally have money to eat, drink, whore and gamble!" Boss Bu did not investigate the old monk's background. He laughed a few times and plunged into the Goulan tile house to find a kiln girl and have a good time.

After enjoying himself, Boss Bu started to move around and manage relationships, hoping to sneak into the criminal department and join the firing squad.

As the saying goes, things get easier when you have money, and Boss Bu was a son of a bannerman, so he finally got it done. On the fifth day, he received a public uniform and walked into the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.

After entering the firing squad, Boss Bu began to inquire about Cheng Jia.

However, the Qing Dynasty also had a confidentiality system. The executioner was only responsible for execution. Before the execution, he was not allowed to know the specific circumstances of the prisoner, except for special cases.So Boss Bu couldn't get any clues from his inquiries.

"Whoever he is, I'll cut him down with a knife and we'll be done!" Boss Bu simply didn't ask and waited with peace of mind.

In the past few days, Boss Bu was active while paying attention to his sword skills.It can be considered that he worked hard. Boss Bu bought a carriage of pumpkins, rented a private house, and practiced swordsmanship on pumpkins every night.

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day that the old monk said.

Boss Bu managed the relationship and won the execution task today.

On that day, the prison officer led a group of Qing soldiers and a firing squad to Caishikou.In the prison car, a bald prisoner was revealed, with a wooden board stuck behind his back and a letter: Prisoner Cheng Jia.

"Why is this prisoner with a big bald head?" Boss Bu was a little nervous, but he couldn't see the prisoner's face when he followed the prison car.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Caishikou and the prisoners were escorted out of the prison car and kneeling in the execution ground.

Only then did Boss Bu see the criminal's face clearly, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

This person offended Cheng Jia and entered the old monk who gave him a hundred miles of silver!
Boss Bu thought hard and couldn't figure it out.

If Cheng Jia and the old monk are the same person, then how did the old monk escape from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?Because this Cheng Jia was not a beheader, but was imprisoned a long time ago. This belongs to Qiu Hou Wenzhan.

Could it be that this Cheng Jia is the brother of that old monk?The two have always had a grudge, so the old monk wants to borrow his own knife to kill someone?But it’s not the same as whose knife kills someone, why should he use his own blood-swallowing knife?

Boss Bu had no way of knowing the relationship between Cheng Jia and the old monk, because the Qing Dynasty stipulated that executioners were not allowed to talk to prisoners on the execution ground.

"The time has come. The criminal Cheng Jia has been identified and beheaded——"

Before Boss Bu could figure it out, the supervisor had already thrown down the token.

Boss Bu cheered up, stepped forward, held a knife in both hands, and chopped down hard.

Just like chopping melons and vegetables, white light flew past, the old monk's head fell to the ground, and blood spattered at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The process was simple and the offender was very cooperative.

Boss Bu put away his knife and followed the others back to the Punishment Department. After finishing the ceremony, he called his friends and went to the restaurant for a drink to celebrate his opening today.

After drinking until dark, Boss Bu went home.

Unexpectedly, before he reached his home, Boss Bu saw a figure in front of his home from a distance, wearing a gray monk's robe, who seemed to be waiting for him.
