Chapter 665 (2/2)
After a night of close company with Xia Ying, the prefecture magistrate's mood is now much more stable. Now hearing Xia Ying say this, although she is reluctant, she also knows that Xia Ying and Gu Tuo are biting their ears for a long time. There must be something important. Last night, pulling Xia Ying to accompany his own action has been selfish enough, today she can not continue to be so selfish.
The magistrate nodded. ”You'd better call sister Bao again. I haven't seen her for a long time.”
”Yes Xia Ying nodded her head.
She called several children and asked them to play with the prefecture magistrate. She turned around and followed Gu Tuo to her backyard.
There is a separate yard in the backyard, which is Gu Tuo's studio. There are also several rooms in the yard, in which there are various tools for Gu Tuo to do carpentry and the excellent wood he has collected. There are so many things that they are filled inside and outside.
Now, Gu Tuo takes her directly into the tool room in the innermost part.
In the dark, damp room was a man in all sorts of clothes.
The man looked plain and unadorned, belonging to the kind that could not be distinguished when thrown into a pile of people. The sharp light in his eyes was as sharp as a knife.This is murderous!
However, when he found out that it was Gu Tuo, the man immediately closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Xia Ying asked in a hurry. ”Is he a killer?”
”Not really.” Gu Tuo shakes his head.
”Such a man is not a killer yet?” Xia Ying doesn't understand.
”Although this man has a murderous eye and a sharp hand, he is not a general dead man. This kind of person is more appropriate to say that he is a swordsman who works hard. ” Gu Tuodao.
Xia Ying curls her lips. ”It makes no difference to me that it's all about killing people with money.”
”Ah, ah!”
When she said that, the man who was tied up was not happy. His mouth seemed to open his ears, and his eyes were sharp and round.
”To prevent him from committing suicide, I took his chin off.” Gu Tuo explained Xia Ying.
Xia Ying nods. ”Well unloaded!”
She's not in the mood to listen to this guy's bullshit.
Gu Tuo said no more. He took Xia Ying and picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Xia Ying. ”I brought you here to show you this.”
Xia Ying took the knife, and her arm sank suddenly.
”It's heavy!”
”Of course. This Dao is made of high-quality dark iron, and the craftsmanship is also excellent. Such a knife will cost at least twenty Liang silver. ”
Converted into RMB is more than 20000 yuan!
It's really expensive!
But Xia Ying still does not understand. ”What do you want me to see? I don't know anything about weapons
There are three black lines on Gu Tuo's forehead.
”What I want you to see is the mark on the handle.” The man has no choice but to say.
Xia Ying noticed that there was an orchid mark on the handle of the big knife.
Such a secluded sword with cold light, but the orchid symbolizing noble and elegant is on top of it. How can they look at it? How can they not match each other.
But Xia Ying still doesn't understand. ”Is this mark unique to any family?”
”I don't know.” Gu Tuo shakes his head.
Xia Ying puffed at the corners of her mouth. ”Let me see! I thought you'd really found something terrible
”The year before last, when the Xia family was buried after the fire, the people from the Chen pawnshop in the town came to ask you to collect the debt. The guy who followed Chen yingniang, named Wenyuan, also had such a mark on his knife.”
