Chapter 298 Using oneself as bait
Inner hall of Yuhua Treasure Shop.
Zhou Heng sat down, and opposite him sat the haggard old man Weng Kang.
This man, who used to rely on the Chunyang Palace and was a powerful figure in the jewelry business of Pingzhou, now has no luster in his eyes, and is full of gloom.
The sudden death of his son has a great impact on him.
Zhou Heng is still very concerned about this. After all, nearly half of the expenses of the Chunyang Martial Arts School in Huangtong Prefecture City actually come from the jewelry industry run by Weng Kang.
If the income of this industry declines, the future development of the Chunyang Martial Arts School will definitely be difficult.
This is beyond doubt.
Of course, killing evil masters is also something that Zhou Heng should do.
"Master, Master, you are finally here!" Weng Kang is still very excited now, with a sad face, and said: "My son died so tragically, so tragically! Cough cough cough!"
As he spoke, he began to cough violently, and the attendant beside him hurried over to pat his back gently to straighten out his breath.
Logically speaking, with his seventh-grade cultivation, his body should not be so weak. Now it is like this, obviously because his mind has suffered a great blow, and the old man is sending the young man away, and he is heartbroken.
"Shopkeeper Weng, don't get excited, just talk slowly." Zhou Heng sighed softly.
At the same time, he silently spread a few subtle true qi.
This made everyone in the inner hall feel like spring breeze, and Weng Kang's excitement was slightly calmed down, and his gray and haggard face became rosy.
"Thank you, uncle." Weng Kang took a deep breath and thanked him, "Uncle, the thing is this, my child is called Weng Zhen, he is only in his thirties this year, because he is obsessed with martial arts, he has never married, and I didn't urge him.
"More than half a month ago, he suddenly told me that he met his sweetheart. I was full of joy and hoped that he could bring the girl to my house as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to see him dead on the street the next morning. The whole person was skin and bones, and he was clearly raped! "
As he spoke, he started to cry again, tears streaming down his face.
"I think your son's sweetheart must be the culprit that caused this uproar in Anhe Prefecture." Zhou Heng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I heard that strong men and men with good martial arts skills have disappeared at night since a month ago?"
"Yes, but there were only three people in the first half of the month, so only the prefectural government was investigating." Weng Kang wiped his tears and said: "But since my son died, the abominable thing that was hiding somewhere has become more and more violent, almost one every two days, and the whole Anhe Prefecture City is in a panic."
"Shopkeeper Weng, did you do anything after your son left? "Zhou Heng asked. This evil master suddenly intensified his efforts to arrest people, which was obviously abnormal.
"I...I..." Weng Kang was a little hesitant this time. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "Uncle Master, I was so angry at the time that I directly issued a bounty for hunting down the murderer. Whoever can find the real murderer will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver."
As the general manager of Chunyang Palace's jewelry business in Pingzhou, he can make a lot of money with the support of Chunyang Palace when doing business, but at the same time, every time he does something publicly, it will be linked to Chunyang Palace.
Normally speaking, if Weng Kang wants to issue a similar bounty for hunting down the murderer, he must first write to Chunyang Palace for instructions, and can only publish it after it is approved.
If this process is not followed, it is actually a violation.
It is also for this reason that he wrote to the sect for help more than ten days after the incident.
Although it is understandable to avenge his son, Weng Kang is still uneasy.
"This is nothing. "Zhou Heng shook his head lightly and smiled, "It's human nature, and it's understandable. If anyone pursues it later, Shopkeeper Weng can mention my name."
In fact, since Weng Kang's letter for help has passed the review and has become a task that can be accepted, it means that Chunyang Palace does not intend to pursue Weng Kang's violation.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." Weng Kang thanked him repeatedly.
"However, if this is the case, I have some doubts that this evil master despises Chunyang Palace." Zhou Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and said: "After he issued a bounty for hunting and killing, he became more and more aggressive. It is obvious that he is targeting someone and is very courageous."
"Ah? Will it be contempt for Chunyang Palace?" Weng Kang was stunned when he heard this. He had only guessed that his bounty had angered the evil master in the dark, but he did not expect Zhou Heng to directly associate it with this aspect.
"It is possible." Zhou Heng nodded and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper Weng, do you know any other news about this evil master?
"For example, the time she might appear, her general range of activities, her general body shape, and the type of target she likes? Are there any traces of her activities?"
"No." Weng Kang shook his head and said, "The entire Anhe Prefecture seems to be her range of activities. As long as night falls, she may appear anywhere, and she has never left any traces. As for the type of target... I only know that they are strong men and men who know martial arts, and most of them have good looks."
"In that case... Shopkeeper Weng, can I stay at your house tonight?" Zhou Heng suddenly said.
"Master uncle, it will be a great honor for my humble home to stay here." Weng Kang nodded repeatedly, but then he guessed Zhou Heng's thoughts and immediately widened his eyes, "Master uncle, do you want to..."
"That's right, I'll wait here for that evil master to see if she dares to come and take my essence." Zhou Heng smiled and said that he met the conditions of men who knew martial arts and had good looks, and the conditions were generous.
"How can I let you take the risk yourself..." Weng Kang wanted to persuade him.
"Shopkeeper Weng." Zhou Heng waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm here to solve this matter. How can I not take risks? Besides, that evil master may not be a threat to me."
"Then please be careful, uncle." Weng Kang stood up and bowed his hands to thank him. "I thank you for my deceased child."
...
That night, the clouds covered the moon and the stars were not visible.
In the backyard wing room of Yuhua Baopu, the lights were dim, and a slender and strong figure could be vaguely seen. The person inside was making the bed and then sat cross-legged.
At midnight, the candlelight in the room went out, and the courtyard became darker.
Suddenly, the trees around moved without wind, making a rustling sound, and then a pink warm wind blew over and landed in the courtyard, turning into a graceful and lovely woman.
This woman looks like she is in her twenties, with delicate features and a pure and elegant appearance, which makes people feel reluctant to play with her, but her clothes are very revealing.
She is only covered with a pink veil, with large areas of white exposed, a slender jade neck, smooth shoulders, high and soft looming, and a slim waist that can't be grasped.
It makes people have wild thoughts.
This pure face and seductive body are perfectly combined in her body, exuding an irresistible charm.
She looked at the room where Zhou Heng was charmingly, put a finger on her lips, whispered to herself with seductive eyes, and sighed softly: "Little brother, since you use yourself as bait, then I won't be polite~"
