Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 80 Murderous Intent

He family.

He Yunlu and three others fled back in a panic.

Captain Leng limped and gritted his teeth.

Firstly, it hurt too much! Secondly, he also hated He Yunlu.

He Yunlu, this stupid teammate, almost ruined Leng the captain.

None of the three spoke.

Back then, there were three people, one was the county magistrate, one was the richest man in Qinghe County, and one was the ceiling of Qinghe County's combat power.

But now he is like a lost dog.

"Captain Leng, what is the level of that escort? He can actually fight on equal terms with you." Zhang Sheng spoke first.

Zhang Sheng used to be the magistrate of Mao County, and he was very familiar with the situation in Qinghe County.

When did this master appear?
Captain Leng took a breath and said, "During the grain transport mission, it was him who killed the rat demon you sent out with the blessing of Fan Shiyi's relic."

When they crossed the tunnel, County Magistrate Mao's original intention was to kill them all without leaving a single one alive.

Magistrate Mao and Captain Leng are both spies of the Demon Cult, but they are unaware of each other's identities.

It was only after that adult came that the two of them got to know each other.

Captain Leng was secretly critical of Magistrate Mao, after all, he almost died.

For this, Zhang Sheng apologized to him and paid several hundred taels of silver to Captain Leng.

Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It turned out to be him!"

Zhang Sheng also heard something about the grain transport mission.

Fan Shiyi played an absolute role.

In particular, Fan Shiyi gave the power of the relic to Zhou Ping, which allowed Zhou Ping to kill the rat demon.

However, the power of the relics is not lasting and can only last for a period of time.

Zhang Sheng knew there was a person named Zhou Ping, but he couldn't match him to his name.

"Qinghe County does not allow such a powerful person to exist!" Zhang Sheng said with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Sheng saw it all when Zhou Ping fought with Captain Leng.

Unlike Captain Leng who was in the middle of the plot, Zhang Sheng saw everything clearly.

When the two were fighting, Captain Leng was out of breath, but Zhou Ping was still as usual.

"What's the level of this kid's cultivation?" He Yunlu said as he touched his neck with lingering fear.

His head almost moved.

He Yunlu had heard a little about Zhou Ping.

He cares a lot about Liu Ruyan and her daughter, and someone would report Liu Ruyan's situation to them on weekdays.

He Yunlu remembered that the servant said that Zhou Ping was the son of Liu Ruyan's best friend.

Zhou Ping has a cat, which often goes to play with Liu Ruyan.

Zhang Sheng looked at Captain Leng, who was the only one who knew Zhou Ping's cultivation level. But he had some guesses in his mind.

Zhou Ping’s cultivation should be at the ninth level, or even the eighth level!
Captain Leng looked at the missing piece of flesh on his leg and felt extremely resentful.

First of all, he hated Zhou Ping! If Zhou Ping hadn't dodged, he wouldn't have been hit.

Secondly, he hated He Yunlu! He Yunlu, this idiot teammate, almost got him killed. "I don't know!" Captain Leng didn't want to answer this question.

Zhang Sheng said: "I think Zhou Ping is at least ninth rank, and very likely eighth rank!"

Captain Leng immediately retorted: "Impossible! He is at most a ninth-grade cultivator."

Captain Leng didn't believe that Zhou Ping had reached the eighth level of cultivation. Moreover, when the two of them were fighting, he didn't feel how strong Zhou Ping was.

Zhou Ping is at most on par with himself.

Captain Leng also thought that Zhou Ping was an eighth-rank official, but he rejected it!
Whether from Zhou Ping's strength or his own psychology, Captain Leng did not admit that Zhou Ping was a ninth-rank official.

The three of them fell silent again.

A ninth-rank escort is not easy to deal with.

"Old He, it seems your wish cannot be realized. Just use this body slowly and don't let it get hurt." Zhang Sheng said with a laugh.

Zhang Sheng knew He Yunlu's character and knew that he would do anything to achieve his own interests.

What's more, this concerns his own body and his own life, so He Yunlu will definitely find a way to deal with it.

"Humph! How can a mere escort master make such a big wave?"

"Let me check if he has any relatives first. As long as he has a weak spot, I can control him."

"He has no weaknesses, I can destroy him through other means!"

He Yunlu narrowed his eyes. Isn't it easy to harm others? I have a hundred ways to kill you.

Captain Leng suddenly asked, "Old He, do you still remember the haunted incident at the He family?"

He Yunlu was confused. He didn't know why Captain Leng asked this, nor did he know which haunted thing Captain Leng was asking about.

The He family was haunted twice.

"Which time are you talking about?" He Yunlu asked.

Captain Leng was slightly stunned, his mouth twitching slightly. He had forgotten that the He family had experienced female ghosts twice: "The time with the ghost bride."

There was a look of terror in He Yunlu's eyes.

The He family was haunted twice. The first time was by the ghost baby and his mother, and the second time was by the ghost bride.

The ghost baby and his mother were fine, as they were not very strong and were killed by the monk Fayuan.

The ghost bride was very powerful and almost killed Fa Yuan.

If Fan Shiyi hadn't intervened, the ghost bride might have killed Mr. He.

He Yunlu asked in a trembling voice: "What happened to the ghost bride?"

"During the grain transport mission, I was displeased with Zhou Ping, so I asked my brothers to teach him a lesson."

"I didn't expect that the ghost bride would appear!"

"The ghost bride has taken a fancy to Zhou Ping and is his backer."

The cold captain said.

Zhang Sheng and He Yunlu opened their eyes wide in shock.

"A talented man and a female ghost! This is a story that only exists in vernacular novels. Why not me?" Zhang Sheng was envious and jealous.

Who doesn't want to be a Ghost Rider?

He Yunlu was afraid.

Zhou Ping alone is already difficult to deal with, and now with the addition of a ghost bride, what else can we do?
"Zhou Ping is a very timid person. Ever since he almost died while escorting an escort, he has only dared to take on short-distance missions."

"Short-distance missions. Since Yaowang Mountain was burned, he has been idle at home."

"But now he only dares to take the tunnel mission."

"why?"

"It's because the ghost bride backs him up that he dares to go through the tunnel. It's always dark in the tunnel, and the ghost bride will protect him."

The cold captain said dimly.

"Old He, if that's the case, stop working on it. You are not strong enough to deal with Zhou Ping and the ghost bride." Zhang Sheng provoked He Yunlu again. He knew that even with the ghost bride, He Yunlu would not let go!

He Yunlu's expression changed from dark to bright. "Isn't it just a ghost bride? Isn't it just a ninth rank? I have a way to deal with them."

Rouge shop.

Zhou Ping helped clean up the house.

The house was in a dilapidated state after He Yunlu's disturbance.

If you want to open the business, you have to clean up for a few days.

However, He Yunqing no longer had the heart to open a store.

Liu Ruyan and He Yunqing cried non-stop while watching over the body of the maid. The maid had already been put into the coffin.

In this chaotic world, if a dead person can be wrapped in a straw mat, it is considered decent.

Although Liu Ruyan and He Yunqing are masters, they both have a good relationship with their maids.

So when the maid died, the mother and daughter prepared a coffin for her.

What's more, the maid died because of He Yunqing.

"Mom, is what's written in the letter true?" He Yunqing handed Mr. He's suicide note to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan took the letter without knowing what was going on, and then her face showed a complicated expression of doubt, disbelief, and confusion.

"How is that possible? You are the He family's child!" Liu Ruyan quickly adjusted herself and said firmly.

He Yunqing was a little skeptical.

Mr. He has only one daughter, He Yunqing, but he has more than a dozen wives and concubines, not to mention the women he keeps outside.

But Mr. He only has He Yunqing as his son. Anyone would doubt this.

Moreover, there have long been rumors in Qinghe County that He Yunqing is not Mr. He's daughter.

He Yunqing had also heard such rumors, but she never believed them.

Liu Ruyan has a very calm personality and doesn't seem like the type of person who would cheat on her husband.

Moreover, He Yunqing looks similar to Mr. He, so He Yunqing never doubted this.

But that's what was written in the suicide note.

He Yunqing didn't know whether it was true or not for a moment.

This matter does reveal a lot of strange things.

He Yunqing already knew that Master He had ordered He Yunlu to kill many concubines.

Because these concubines showed signs of having affairs.

If Mr. He had known that Liu Ruyan was having an affair earlier, given his character, he would never have let his mother off easily.

If you think so, you must be the daughter of the He family.

But the handwriting on the suicide note was clearly Mr. He’s.

He Yunqing thought of two possibilities.

The first possibility is that she is really not Mr. He’s daughter, and Mr. He has known about this for a long time, but he has kept it secret.

The second possibility is that she is Mr. He’s daughter, but He Yunlu has long coveted her, so he forged the suicide note.

Both possibilities are possible.

But He Yunqing felt that the second possibility was more likely.

He Yunlu is a lustful person and his character cannot be judged by common sense.

If it is the second case, He Yunlu is a very evil person who has no regard for human ethics at all.

Even if it was the first case, He Yunqing was really not a daughter of the He family, she would not marry the bastard He Yunlu.

He Yunqing is very good at judging people. He Yunlu will bankrupt the He family sooner or later.

into the night.

He Yunqing asked Liu Ruyan to go to sleep, and he prepared to stay with Xiao Cui all night, so they could be considered as master and servant.

Xiao Cui has relatives, but it was her parents who sold her to the He family.

So even if her family was found, they would not buy her a coffin.

He Yunqing has sent someone to find Xiao Cui's parents, and promised to give them ten taels of silver as long as they bury Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui's parents were naturally very willing.

It's just a matter of digging a hole, and you don't have to pay for the coffin, and you can still earn ten taels of silver.

This is a great thing.

Zhou Ping accompanied He Yunqing. He was also afraid of dereliction of duty and afraid that He Yunlu would come to snatch her away again.

"Zhou Ping, what level of cultivation do you have that you can fight on equal terms with Captain Leng?" He Yunqing asked.

He Yunqing deliberately tested Zhou Ping.

With Zhou Ping's strength, how could he live in the small Qinghe County?

If Zhou Ping's ability was similar to that of Captain Leng, he should have gone on long-distance missions to earn money long ago.

"I am of the ninth rank." Zhou Ping was silent for a moment and said slowly.

Many people saw the battle with Captain Leng.

Who knows, the whole county might know about this matter the next day.

Zhou Ping has already thought of a countermeasure. He is indeed a ninth-rank.

But the tenth rank was achieved through initiation, and the ninth rank was achieved by chance because Fan Shiyi lent him the power of the relics.

He Yunqing said "Oh" softly and looked away.

He Yunqing had already guessed this result. She didn't expect that Zhou Ping was actually a ninth-rank cultivator.

The two met for the first time two years ago, when Zhou Ping was still a small bodyguard.

But now Zhou Ping has reached the ninth rank.

In addition to his cultivation, Zhou Ping's "Quiet Night Thoughts" is also very famous.

He Yunqing has placed Zhou Ping on the same level as himself.

"No, he is already much taller than me." He Yunqing couldn't help but think of when Liu Ruyan wanted to bring the two of them together.

With the ninth rank of cultivation, any wealthy family would want to get closer to him.

With the ninth rank of cultivation, one can walk around freely in Qinghe County, and is even qualified to be the son-in-law of a rich family in Qinghe County.

But He Yunqing is no longer a lady of the He family.

If she were still the daughter of the He family, her status would be comparable to Zhou Ping's, but her current status is much lower than Zhou Ping's.

Without the protection of the He family, He Yunqing might only have a few thousand taels of private money.

No wonder Zhou Ping was unwilling to be a bodyguard for He Yunqing and her daughter.

A person of the ninth rank can earn at least a hundred taels of silver a year.

With He Yunqing's family background, he could only employ Zhou Ping for ten years.

"Zhou Ping, what do you think of how we two treat you?" He Yunqing said.

Zhou Ping didn't understand, Liu Ruyan and her daughter were very nice.

Especially Liu Ruyan, who had great ambitions and was full of kindness towards Zhou Ping even before Zhou Ping entered the realm of rank.

"You two are a great match." Zhou Ping said with a smile.

He Yunqing paused and began to speak.

"This world is still dominated by men."

"If you want to do business, you have to deal with the government. Without a man to support the business, orphans and widows are easily bullied."

"Women must find someone to rely on."

"Poor people cannot afford to marry a wife, but rich people can marry several. Some sisters or even twins can marry one person."

"It is not difficult for a warrior with high cultivation to have many wives and concubines."

He Yunqing paused and didn't say anything else.

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly. Although He Yunqing didn't speak clearly, he understood.

Could it be that she wanted to?

Zhou Ping didn't dare to think further, he couldn't help but pinch himself. What posture can make such a beautiful dream come true?

"Sister Yunqing, with your intelligence and talent, it will be no problem for you to marry into a good family." Zhou Ping said after hesitating for a long time.

Who doesn't like beautiful women? Especially when they come to your doorstep.

There was a hint of disappointment in He Yunqing's eyes, and even more confusion. I've explained it so clearly, don't you understand?

"I'm afraid that He Yunlu will harm me before I marry into a good family." He Yunqing said with a sigh.

He Yunqing is from the He family, and she knows very well the energy that such a family can mobilize.

If the ninth grade doesn’t work, then the eighth grade!
It's just about money.

What's more, Zhou Ping's bodyguard contract is about to expire.

Once Zhou Ping leaves, the escort agency will not assign the ninth rank to He Yunqing.

The Ninth Graders are the core resources of the Escort Agency, and there are only a few of them.

"Zhou Ping, I mean my mother"

He Yunqing gritted his teeth and prepared to tell his bottom line. After all, Zhou Ping was a good person.

It is better to give it to Zhou Ping than to He Yunlu.

"Sister Yunqing, there are still six days left. Maybe something unexpected will happen in these six days." Zhou Ping interrupted He Yunqing and stopped her from continuing.

Zhou Ping was afraid that he didn't know what decision to make.

"Go on a journey of immortality, and do not ask about worldly affairs."

Zhou Ping is an immortal, he doesn't want to get entangled in love affairs.

Moreover, with Zhou Ping’s strength, I don’t know if he can protect the mother and daughter.

But Zhou Ping has already made up his mind: He Yunlu cannot live!

He Yunlu still owes the ghost baby and its mother a life.

What's more, if you offend the richest man, you don't know what tricks he will use against you.

In that case, why not kill him!
