004 The Murderer Xi Chongnuo
Snow! The heavy snow in the sky covered the entire Central Plains with white.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Taiyuan City...
Mu Lian got up early in the morning and went to call his servant Alu to clean up the snow in front of the door.
Alu stayed still and said, "Master, the snow is still falling. Isn't it a waste of effort to sweep the snow now?"
Mu Lian urged A Lu several times, but A Lu responded to his words, but he just refused to move. Mu Lian couldn't, so he had to take the guy and open the door...
Mu Lian's compassion and kindness have long been famous. No matter who has a family or has a dilemma, Mu Lian always helps. He asked Alu to clean the snow in front of the door early in the morning, because he was afraid that people would pass by and fall...
As soon as Mu Lian opened the door, he saw a man sheltering snow standing under the eaves of the door. The man was about 30 years old, about five feet tall, with a waist of three feet, a face like a full moon, and a face like a mulberry. At first glance, his nose was arched upward, looking huge, and there were dark red wine thorns on it. And when his gray eyes looked at people, he reflected a slight slanting light that was hard to understand... In the late winter of the twelfth lunar month, he was wearing a thin coat and a pair of green cloud-toed shoes that were very inconsistent with the solar term.
When Mu Lian saw this, he couldn't help but feel pity and bowed, "Brother, it's better to go to my house to avoid it for a while?"
The man turned his eyes to Mu Lian, and the slanted light in his eyes seemed to stare at Mu Lian's feet, a bit like jealous of Mu Lian's thick cotton shoes. He said bluntly, "This is the best! I wonder if my father-in-law's house has fine wine to drive away the cold?"
"Of course there is wine!"
"What wine?" A hint of greed appeared in the man's gray little eyes.
"How about Chen Shao in three years?"
The man shook his head, "The rice wine is boring, it's best to be soy wine, Jiannan Shaochun, Pilichun, even Lao Baigan... If there is only rice wine, then you need bamboo leaf green, and five plus three silver can barely make do with it..."
Mu Lian was stunned, "No such kinds of restaurants have been available!"
The man glanced at Mu Lian, "You old man don't have any sincerity to invite people to drink. I ask you, what other wine does your family have besides Chen Shao?"
"There are also several bottles of chrysanthemum wine, pine flower wine, and Asparagus wine..."
The man hit his palms and frowned as if he had a sarcoma. "These wines are so angry that they are so hot that men drink them? Is there no good wine anymore..."
Seeing that this man was a little ungrateful, Mu Lian shook his head and was about to find some excuses to close the door and reject guests. However, Alu suddenly jumped out from somewhere and said flauntingly, "Master, who said there is no good wine in our house? A few jars of flower carvings are buried in the cellar under the locust tree?"
Mu Lian was stunned for a moment and said to the man a little embarrassedly, "There are still several pots of flower sculptures at home, but... but that was kept for the little girl to get married."
The man's eyes lit up, "Daughter Hong? Alas! Okay, go, go and get some pots." He didn't need Mu Lian to go and walked quickly into the hall of Mu Lian's house.
Mu Lian hesitated for a moment, followed in, glared at Alu helplessly, "Why don't you go and burn a pot of flower carvings!"
"What a good master!" Alu went there quickly.
...A pot of Huadiao quickly got into the man's stomach. After the man had drunk, he gradually started to talk more and more. He told Mu Lian that his name was Xi Chongnuo... The reason why his parents gave him such a name was that he hoped that he would make a promise, and that he would keep it all the promises he had said.
It snowed all day and there was no stop. Xi Chongnuo drank wine in the Mu family hall for a day. Not only did he drink, but he also called vegetables. If the vegetables were not good, he would slam the table and stare at them, pointing at the mulberry and saying something to ridicule the master... In the evening, a jar of flower carvings fell into his stomach, and he was already drunk!
That night, Mu Lian saw that he was really unable to leave, so he kept him staying at home.
The next day, the snow was even heavier. Mu Lian was even more difficult to expel guests.
When he woke up early in the morning, Xi Chongnuo asked for food and drinks again. Although Mu Lian complained in his heart, he regretted not being able to attract this villain, but now that things have come, he had to let Alu open another jar of Huadiao, and then make a few dishes of ham, salt eggs, plate armor, rice and a fire elbow, which is considered to be a barely dealt with. Xi Chongnuo drank it for another day...
The next night, the snow still did not stop. Xi Chongnuo was still staying at Mu's house after getting drunk.
On the third day, it finally cleared up.
Xi Chongnuo got up early and finished washing. He no longer asked Mu Lian for wine and food as he did the day before, but asked to borrow a knife... Mu Lian heard that he was leaving, so he took a knife for him. He took out some broken silver, about one or two, and handed it to Xi Chongnuo, saying that he saw that he liked to eat wine, so he could sell some wine on the way.
Xi Chongnuo received the money, but had no intention of leaving. Instead, he began to sigh, "I, Xi Chongnuo, have been in the world for so many years, and have never seen someone as kind and kind as Dad Mu. You and I have never known each other. Just because I was sheltering from snow under the eaves of your house, you treated me like this. Not only was you willing to take out the Huadiao of your married daughter for me to drink, but you also gave me silver before leaving... How should you repay me if you treat me like this?"
Mu Lian was humble and respectful, "Some small things are not worth mentioning. I will never mention this kind of repayment."
Xi Chongnuo's black face turned into a red face instantly, and the wine thorn on his nose protruded like a nail. He said, "Dad Mu, are you humiliating me when you say this? Receiving favors and repaying others is the true nature of chivalrousness. No, I will repay you no matter what I say!" He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and frowned and said, "But I have nothing in my body, I really can't think of how to repay you! Just do this, do you have any enemies or people you hate, and I will kill him for you!"
Mu Lian waved his hand in a hurry, "I am timid by nature, so I will never mention this kind of murder."
Xi Chongnuo suddenly narrowed his eyes and shook the knife he had just borrowed from Mu Lian, "I think your servant Alu is not a good person. He will sooner or later collude with foreign thieves to harm you. How about I kill him for you to repay you?"
Mu Lian was even more panicked, "Alu has some habit of showing off, but he grew up in my family since he was a child. He would never collude with foreign thieves and harm me. Mr. Xi must not make random suspicions."
Xi Chongnuo said angrily, "You old man, I have secretly promised to help you kill someone to repay you Chongnuo, but you don't let this one kill, and that one kill, could you let me kill myself and repay you? OK! Since that's the case, I'll kill myself! Otherwise, wouldn't I be worthy of the name Xi Chongnuo!" After saying that, he picked up the knife and wiped it into his neck.
Seeing that he was so violent, Mu Lian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Mr. Xi did this, not only did he not repay me, but he harmed me!"
Xi Chongnuo took down his knife and looked surprised, "What does it have to do with you when I die? How could he harm you?"
Mu Lian rubbed his hands and said, "One person died in the family, for fragmentary purposes. Not to mention the burial fee, it costs twelve taels of silver... What's more, if you commit suicide with the knife I lent to you, then I'll be the one who has settled the lawsuit. Even if the government finally finds out the truth, I will have to spend a lot of money. Do you think you're harming me?"
Xi Chongnuo said "hmm" and asked in contemplation, "If someone dies in your family and sue, how much money will you spend?"
Mu Lian thought about it for a while and replied, "Two Bai and two can settle the lawsuit, thank God!"
"Okay! That's it!" Xi Chongnuo slapped the knife on his leg and said, "I remember the favor you have treated me these two days. Now you give me two hundred taels of silver, let's leave!"
Mu Lian was stunned, "Why should I give you two hundred taels of silver?"
"How much is 25000?" Xi Chongnuo suddenly glared at his little eyes like a chameleon, and his eyes were even more slanted. "If I die in your house, it will be used in fragments, plus the burial fee, how much money will you spend? I'm afraid it's more than 25000! I've waived you those scattered expenses and burial fees for you. As long as you 2500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Mu Lian was angry, "You are so heartless! I treat you kindly. You don't want to be grateful, but instead blackmail me! How could there be a villain like you in the world!"
"Dad Mu, you have to be honest with your conscience. I said that you would help you kill someone to repay you, but you wouldn't accept it! I said that I would kill myself to repay you, but you wouldn't accept it! Now I saved you money to repay you, but you still don't accept it. Do you still have some humanity?"
"I pity you and take you in. I will care about your food, drink, and stay with you. Instead, I will become inhumane?" Mu Lian shivered in anger, "You can leave if you want, but you don't have any money!"
"If you don't have money, don't leave!" Xi Chongnuo looked scoundrel!
"If you don't leave, I'll report to the official!"
Xi Chongnuo put the knife across his neck, and a new blood scar immediately oozed out of his neck full of scars, and the blood ticked down, "Then I will kill myself to repay you!" Xi Chongnuo's eyes widened even more, and if he could not achieve his goal, he would immediately die calmly.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Mu Lian immediately panicked when he saw the blood.
Xi Chongnuo had a ferocious face, and his face as a full moon was like a bowstring that had been opened, "How about it? Either give me two hundred taels, or marry your daughter to me, or I will die in your house!"
Mu Lian was extremely angry and went out to seal a hundred taels of silver to Xi Chongnuo, "There is only so much silver. If you still refuse to forgive me, then you will die! I would rather use the silver to sue than put a dog hole!"
Xi Chongnuo smiled and took the money, "It's a bargain!" After that, he turned around and left.
Mu Lian looked at Xi Chongnuo's back and said hatefully, "It's really a bad year. I'm facing such a heartless person."
After hearing this, Xi Chongnuo turned around and said, "Do you know, who has no conscience?"
Mu Lian spat heavily, "Is it me?"
"Of course it's you!" Xi Chongnuo settled the score and said, "I stayed at your house for two nights, and you deducted my accommodation fee of 100 taels! Stayed for fifty taels for one night, hum! Even the Golden Palace is not so expensive..."
"You! You..." Mu Lian was so angry that he pushed his phlegm into his throat and fainted.
This is Xi Chongnuo, a murderous man who makes a living by extortion everywhere. The reason why he is a vicious man is because he has no human affection. In his eyes, human affection is a weakness that can be exploited. Also... He not only doesn't care about any favors to others! Even if he is to himself, he never ruthlessly starts. Some people think that killing himself is just a joke, a big talk to others, but those who think like this suffer a great loss, because Xi Chongnuo is indeed like his name, Yi Nuo has a huge fortune, and what he said to himself has never been vague. He said that killing himself means that he will really kill himself. But... but so far, he has not really killed himself, but he still has a lot of killing himself half dead or almost dying. For this reason, there are countless knife marks left on his neck! But Xi Chongnuo feels that he is not at a loss, because behind each knife mark, there are silver, a lot of silver...
"Hualin Pavilion" has no information about Xi Chongnuo, because Xi Chongnuo has never killed anyone and has never died in his hands. Even if he has blood on his hands, it is his own blood! And he has never been interested in a person who always has his own blood on his hands. "Hualin Pavilion" is not a school, so of course he has no responsibility to persuade people not to commit suicide.
