Chapter 677 The First Floor in the World
The people around Zheng Wenting who wanted him dead the most were not his enemies in the shopping mall, nor the people he had offended, but members of his own family.
After that incident, his father was so angry that he kicked out all the seven or eight families who had been fighting in the autumn breeze at his house all year round, showing no mercy.
After that incident, his father's attitude towards those clan members who had evil intentions gradually became colder.
In the past, when the ancestral hall was renovated every year, his father took over all the money, and he paid for it all by himself. After the money was spent, people would say he was stingy, saying that he did not use all the money to support the whole clan. Later, , his father also took out most of the money, but except for the money from those families, his father would not pay anything.
After his father changed his attitude towards those tribesmen, those tribesmen were also ostracized by other tribesmen. Instead of realizing their mistakes, they hated him even more. They gnashed their teeth and regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. , thinking that only if he dies will they have a good life.
When he was a child, he almost died several times in the plots of those clan members.
He is not dead yet because he has a great destiny.
Later, his father hired a boy who knew martial arts to protect him, and those inhumane people calmed down a lot.
In the past few years, as he gradually accepted the family business, the threat to his life that had disappeared for a long time began again.
In the first half of the year, someone bribed the dishwashing girl in his kitchen to poison him. If he hadn't had a habit before eating at home, he would have almost fallen into their trap.
That habit was developed by him since he was a child.
When he was a child, he was poisoned while eating at home. His father taught him to use a silver needle to test for poison. Later, he would use a silver needle to test for poison every time he ate. A silver needle never left his body, and he had this habit for more than ten years. , except for the two boys around him, no one knew.
Therefore, when he encountered an assassination, his first suspects were those tribesmen.
Chu Jingqi said, "These killers are not kept in private captivity, but are hired by the Jianghu. I looked at them and there is no poisonous nang at the roots of their teeth."
Killers kept in private captivity would have a poisonous bun tied to the root of their teeth so that if they fell into the hands of the enemy, they could bite the poisonous bun and commit suicide.
As for these killers, there is no poisonous nang, they are obviously hired by the Jianghu.
But...
He looked at Li Sangwu and asked, "Head Li, is there any sect in the world that can hire killers?"
Moreover, they still hired thirty killers at one time. They must be a sect. Li Sangwu has been traveling in the world for many years, so he should know this.
"There are many people in the world who make a living by taking over the murder business, but they are basically alone in the world. In a business like this, they rarely partner with others, let alone thirty killers together." Li Sangwu said.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something again, his face instantly turned pale, his expression became a little abnormal, his eyes were filled with fear, fear, and worry.
He pursed his trembling lips and said, "I...I remembered that there is...a sect in the world that specializes in the murder business."
His voice was trembling, and his hands were shaking, as if he was extremely frightened.
"More than ten years ago, I once heard my master say that the sect is called the No. 1 House in the World, and it has existed in the world for many years. No one knows who the owner is, and no one knows where the sect's home base is. , the first floor in the world, from the name Everything from the sect, to their landlord, and even the people inside is secretive. "No one knows how many killers there are. I only heard my master say once that they specialize in the killing business." .”
"However, there are three things they don't kill: first, they don't kill babies; second, they don't kill old people who are about to die; and third, they don't kill pregnant women."
As for this group of people, they are not included in the three no-kills.
Chu Jingqi frowned, with a solemn expression, "Since we don't know where the nest is, how can the employer contact them?"
"This is simple." Li Sangwu said, "There are Jixiang Teahouses in larger cities. As long as the employer takes enough money and gives the list and details of the people he wants to buy lives for, he can hand them over to the shopkeeper of Jixiang Teahouse."< br>
"When receiving business on the first floor in the world, the amount of money to buy a life depends on the status of the person being bought. However, the lowest starting price is one thousand taels of silver per life."
Then, Li Sangwu looked at Chu Jingqi, then at Zheng Wenting, and then at Xia Zihan. He swallowed and continued, "The three of them are not ordinary people. I estimate that the lives of the three of them are worth at least 50,000 yuan." Two pieces of silver per person.”
"The money to buy a life is paid in one lump sum. As long as the employer pays enough money, the No. 1 House in the World takes over the business, and gets the money, he will immediately send a killer to hunt down the person whose life was bought by the employer."
< br>
Speaking of this, Li Sangwu's eyes shrank and his voice trembled again, "As long as the No. 1 person in the world takes over the business, the life money will never be refunded. For the life of the person who bought the life, the killer will not be able to kill him for the first time." , he will be killed twice, and if he cannot be killed twice, he will be killed three times. The best killer in the world will hunt down the person who bought his life until the person is dead."
But now, it's not them who die, but the killer on the top floor of the world.
On the top floor of the world, Li Sangwu's heart, liver, and lungs trembled at the thought of being chased to death by them.
He walked around the world all year round, licking blood from his knife edge, and living with his head hung on his waist. It was not that he was afraid of death, he was just worried that the No. 1 in the world would blame the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau for this.
By that time, even the entire Zhenyuan Escort Agency will probably not be able to reach the top of the world.
"Chu Shizi, we are afraid that the rest of the journey will not be safe. We have to be careful and proceed step by step." Li Sangwu reminded him.
Chu Jingqi hummed, not daring to underestimate these Jianghu sects at all.
"Ah, I remembered something." Li Sangwu suddenly shouted, "I remember that my master once mentioned that the killers on the top floor of the world will have the word 'Lou' tattooed on their arms after joining the sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shengchi came out of the ruined temple and took off a killer's clothes, exposing his arms.
"Master, look."
Sure enough, the killer's right arm had the word "Lou" tattooed on it. The handwriting was clear and elegant, and it was written in small regular script with hairpin flowers, as if it was written by a woman.
Chu Jingqi and Li Sangwu quickly used long swords to cut off the right arms of more than a dozen killers, and saw a dozen more characters for "lou". The handwriting was exactly the same, all in small regular script with hairpin flowers, and the handwriting was elegant.
"This is a woman's handwriting." Xia Zihan crouched down and looked at the tattoos carefully, "She is also a woman who often painted the calligraphy of the great scholar Lu Guangwen in red. If you look at these handwritings, there are 45% of them similar to the handwriting of the great scholar Lu Guangwen."< br>
