Chapter 22 Strange

What?

Hearing the words of the little carpenter, both Lame Lu and Lao Hei were frightened by his determination, especially Lame Lu. He looked at the little carpenter with a surprised look. After a while, he asked, "What should you do if he succeeds?"

The little carpenter smiled and said calmly: "You are not as good as a person, so you can only admit defeat."

Seeing that the little carpenter was so calm, Lame Lu took a deep breath, but gave him a thumbs up.

He said to Lao Hei next to him: "Your boss has a really good vision and has found such a ruthless person."

Lao Hei used to think that the little carpenter was a craftsman and relied on carvings to make a living, so he was a little bit contemptuous of him at first, but after that day, he was already impressed by the little carpenter and said proudly: "Of course."

After the few people agreed, they did not talk more nonsense at the moment, but waited for the response there.

It was almost evening, and someone finally heard news that there was indeed such a person at hand, and he could go over and talk about what he needed directly.

Lame Lu made an appointment with the man at a nearby teahouse, and Lao Hei came out to discuss it.

No matter how to talk about the little carpenter, you just need to go back to your previous residence and wait for Jiang Laoer, the unfamiliar killer, to come to your door.

As for the two of them meeting, whether to fight first and then talk, or talk first and then fight, it depends on the situation.

Although the little carpenter was not sure whether Jiang Laoer had learned his skills with Taoist Mo, he still had the courage to face him.

This sentence is very reasonable when you are skilled and brave.

A little carpenter with all his skills is confident in doing many things and does not have too many thoughts about looking ahead.

When Lao Hei came back, he talked to him and said that the order had been placed and the one he wanted to kill was a newly-recent jade carving craftsman on Hu Guo Road. As for when that person would take the order and when he would come to the door, it was not clear. He had to wait for the news.

After all, the broker in charge of contact was not able to contact Xiao Nanxia at this moment.

After the little carpenter made up, he parted ways with Lao Hei and returned to his former residence.

He has been busy these two days and has delayed some work at hand.

He doesn't want to be the kind of person who delays delivery. No matter what, he still has to finish the work at hand to avoid delaying other people's trust.

The little carpenter returned to his residence. This was a small villa near Huguo Street. There were a group of outsiders living here, such as pot maker, washing machine, barber, shoemaker, etc., all of which were craftsmen.

The little carpenter rented a single room here, did some things on weekdays, and chatted with these outsiders, which was not boring.

He got along quite happily with these people. After he came back, many people greeted him, all with smiles.

The reason why he is so popular is that the little carpenter is quite generous. He will give some of the delicious food on weekdays to everyone. In addition, if someone asks him to borrow money, as long as it is reasonable, he will not be stingy.

Of course, everyone will like such people and are happy to provide some information to the little carpenter.

After the little carpenter came back, he started work with a light and worked for two consecutive days. Finally, he finished all the work at hand. He did not take up the orders behind him, but waited for Jiang Laoer, the unresponsive killer, to arrive.

As a result, I waited for several days, but no one came.

During this period, the little carpenter contacted Lao Hei once and learned that the middleman had not contacted anyone for the time being, and he didn't know if he had left Chuncheng.

Hearing this news, the little carpenter was a little depressed.

What's even more depressed is Zhang Minghai. He has been handling the funeral these days, and the Marshal's Mansion has sent someone to urge him several times. If it expires, the things will not be retrieved. I'm afraid that something will happen to his Zhang family.

But this matter is really unhurried, because the clues on Zhe Liu were cut off, and the only person who knew the situation should be Jiang Lao Er.

Why did he show up there?

Whose instruction was he to kill Thieves?

Did he take that rough stone?

All the questions were accumulated in my heart, and the little carpenter had no foundation in Chuncheng. The only way was to wait for Jiang Laoer to take the order and then come to the door.

But the problem is that Jiang Laoer completely ignored the little carpenter.

Why is this happening?

The little carpenter thought of several possibilities, and the biggest one was that he was likely to be caught by Dao Ren Ma.

And if this is the case, things may be a bit difficult.

Time passed by bit by bit, and finally the agreed period between the Zhang family and the Grand Marshal's Mansion. The little carpenter did not wait for Jiang Laoer to arrive.

He finally couldn't help it. In the evening, he walked out of the door and walked towards the Zhang family.

He found Manager Xiong in Zhang Liufu's shop and learned that two days ago, his old boss had just climbed the mountain and was buried in the cemetery in the eastern suburbs. During these days, Zhang Minghai had been handling this matter and was exhausted.

Because of this, the second young master Zhang had no intention of looking for him.

The little carpenter asked Zhang Minghai where he was and learned that he was in the other courtyard. Since something happened here, he has been living in the other courtyard and has never come back.

But let alone, since he went to the villa, his health has improved a lot. During the funeral the day before yesterday, he was able to hold the spirit card and insist on walking out of the city.

After hearing this, the little carpenter said goodbye to Manager Xiong, and then went to the Zhangjia Villa.

When he arrived at the villa, he saw four soldiers standing at the door, all carrying rifles, with a very serious expression.

The little carpenter did not go in, but waited outside the door. After about two quarters of an hour, he saw a middle-aged man with a freckle on his left face being sent out by Zhang Minghai.

The middle-aged man had two followers around him, holding big and small bags of things, which obviously made a lot of gains.

The group of people left the Zhang family courtyard and then got on the carriage. The little carpenter saw Zhang Minghai standing at the door smiling and waving, and walked up.

When Zhang Minghai saw the little carpenter, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you here?"

The little carpenter pointed to the carriage that had walked away and asked, "How can I get rid of these Sangmen Stars?"

Zhang Minghai's face showed a painful expression and said helplessly: "What else can I do? I took out the money and took out a few pieces of Baoyu in the store, sent it to someone, and compensated it again, and he tried to persuade him, so he barely passed..."

The little carpenter asked, "Do they have such a good relationship?"

Zhang Minghai said with a depressed look on his face, "He was a mandate forcing him to take over. Now that my Zhang family is stolen, it's a storm in the city. They don't know. Can you force me to spit out the things? Although he is the mandate of the Marshal, the territory of southern Yunnan still has to maintain his face. You can't go too far..."

The little carpenter heard it, sighed, and said, "I didn't get the matter done."

Hearing his self-blame words, Zhang Minghai comforted him and said, "I have heard Lao Hei say that you are working hard enough to find the stone. You actually want to go out to put orders on the market and let the killer come to you... But this matter is over here. Since I have communicated with the Marshal's Mansion, I think I am unlucky. As for who the stone fell into, I don't care - you came just right, and wait..."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to the people around him: "Go and bring the money I prepared."

After hearing this, the man turned around and entered the yard, while the little carpenter frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Minghai said: "Although things were not done, they were not lucky. And there were problems within my Zhang family and had nothing to do with you. Although this matter has ended here, I can't let you run away in vain. So it's a bit of my intentions, which is my intention..."

While speaking, the man had already brought a purse and handed it to Zhang Minghai.

Zhang Minghai took it and then handed it to the little carpenter.

The little carpenter refused to take it, but said, "The thing was not done, no matter what the reason was, the result was the same. As the saying goes, 'no rewards are not received without merit,' and you have suffered too much losses. How can I have the nerve to take it?"

He acted very firmly, but Zhang Minghai was very polite and even wanted to force it into the hands of the little carpenter.

The two of them pulled at the door, and the little carpenter saw that Zhang Minghai was very determined, so he did not refuse, but took the money bag over.

He weighed it a little and felt like he was almost a hundred oceans.

This is a considerable amount of money.

The little carpenter took it away, bowed to Zhang Minghai, and said, "Young master is really polite."

Zhang Minghai said, "I'm sorry for this matter. I'm just apologizing. Let's stop this matter, hey..."

He sighed, then bowed to the little carpenter and went back to the yard.

The little carpenter stood at the door, stunned for a while, and then he left.

But he didn't go far, but after reaching the end of the street, he turned around and walked into the alley, then climbed over the wall, and then climbed to the roof of a nearby third floor in the darkness of the night.

Then he hid his body as much as possible and did not allow people to see it.

The reason for doing this is because the little carpenter has thought about it carefully over the past few days and feels that there are many strange things about this matter.

Today he came to see Zhang Minghai, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Because of Zhang Minghai's performance, it was also very strange.

Zhang Minghai is not the kind and kind person who suffered huge losses today. Logically speaking, even if he didn't scold him for his poor work, he would never give such a labor fee so generously.

So why did he do this?

The biggest possibility is that you feel guilty and want to calm down.

But, why did he do this?

The little carpenter decided to stay and observe it, perhaps to discover the truth of the matter.

He lay on the commanding heights and waited patiently. Time passed slowly. At midnight, just when the little carpenter was a little sleepy, a familiar figure appeared at the back door of the Zhang family courtyard.

Sure enough, that guy is really here.
