Chapter 1121 – You haven’t paid me yet
There were always many, many things that happened in this world that were unexpected. Everyone felt that they were the center of the world, and that was the terrible thing about being arrogant. Maybe the universe is like this too. Every star thinks they’re the center of the universe, but they don’t know that they’re also the center of the universe.
A society revolves between people, and stars and stars revolve around each other to form the firmament.
An Zheng was a little excited at this moment. The renewed contact he had with the good old man caused the unspeakable pain he had accumulated in his heart for the past few days to lessen a little. He sat on the side of the road and laughed like a fool for a long time. He laughed until tears came to his eyes.
Just at this time, the people from the deer city who were not willing to step down from the stage just like that were discussing about doing a small thing before a big thing. In their eyes, at least, this was just the prelude to a big thing.
Nie Xiang Tai swept a glance at the people sitting in front of him. His face didn’t reveal anything out of the ordinary. He floated up and down for hundreds of years, and after experiencing so much, he began to have what others would call a calm state of mind. His words were very praiseworthy. In other words, his skin was thick to the point where it would be even better.
“What is Zhu Xiaojian doing? Do you know? ”
He asked, as if an old gentleman was gently guiding his disciples in their thoughts.
“Elder Nie, I just don’t understand this point ….” If Zhu Xiaojian already has our evidence, then why didn’t he do anything? At the very least, from the surface, his odds of winning is slightly higher. With twenty thousand of his border soldiers who come with killing intent and so many DEA’s spies, he can make his move now, and don’t even need to ask Ning Xiaolou for permission to do anything. ”
“Yeah, I don’t understand either. He destroyed the Zi family right after entering the city. His methods were lightning. But there was no movement from the Zi family after that. What were they waiting for? I feel... Either he doesn’t have any evidence at all, or he knows more. ”
After saying this, everyone fell into silence. If Zhu Xiaojian truly knew more, then for every person in the hall, and even the families or powers backing them, it would be a calamity. Everyone knew what Bai Shengjun Ning Xiaolou hated the most, and everyone knew that once the people of DEA made their move, they would only say four words... Cut the grass at its roots.
“Let’s test it out.”
Someone looked at Nie Xiang Tai, “I feel that this matter has yet to reach the point of no return. Zhu Xiaojian has concealed himself very deeply.”
“Yes!”
The other person stood up and said, “If we don’t test the waters and start an all-out war, it would be even worse for us. If he knew enough, he wouldn’t give us time to prepare. He didn’t continue, and I guessed there were only two possibilities. Firstly, he was also thinking about how to probe it out, because he didn’t know enough. Secondly, he is waiting for us to give him an explanation … Or rather, benefits. ”
“Benefits?”
Someone laughed out loud, “Hahahaha, if you want benefits, then the benefits all of you have given him can burst his belly. “If he really just wants some benefits, then that’s fine, but it’s a lot. If everyone squeezed out a bit from the gaps between their teeth, it would be enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life.”

Nie Xiangtai waved his hands at the same time. Naturally, it was a sign of his position as the Venerable One here.
“There is not a single piece of trash in DEA who is capable of keeping an eye on things.”
Nie Xiang Tai waved his hand, allowing the girl to help him up. As they walked, he said, “What you’ve said before was good, but have you thought about it before? Naturally, it could not start from Zhu Xiaojian, nor could it start from the border army generals he brought with him. Also, is this test to directly send the benefits over? ”
Everyone was silent.
Nie Xiang Tai said, “No, we have to kill a person. Killing a person is the only way to probe Zhu Xiaojian’s bottom line, and also the way to find out what he wants to do. This man cannot be heavy, but the lines must be clear. Killing him was not a big deal, but it was enough to make Zhu Xiaojian ache for him for a bit. If he did not put up a fighting stance at this time, then there would be something to talk about … As for the benefits, just give them to him. ”
“Elder Nie, who should we kill?”
“An Zheng.”
Nie Xiang Tai said with a smile, “Is this person important? It wasn’t important. It was just a small character. However, he stood there clearly, he was Zhu Xiaojian’s man. If he died, Zhu Xiaojian’s reaction would be enough to explain the problem. However, no one is going to directly interfere in this matter … Didn’t the Zi family still have two branches outside of the city? “There are quite a few people. Let them choose their men and enter the city now. We will start tonight.”
He looked out the window and said, “It’s raining …” The perfect weather to kill. I remember there waain pavilion in the city. It was a nice place.
It was raining. It wasn’t raining heavily, but it was very dense. When An Zheng came out of the tavern, he held an oil-paper umbrella. His left hand that was holding onto the umbrella handle was very stable, the rain was not strong, but the oil-paper umbrella did not move at all as if it was inserted in a stone. It was somewhat poetic to walk around with an umbrella on a rainy night like this, but what broke the poem was the blade held in An Zheng’s right hand.
When he returned to the inn, Du Xin had already left. There waiece of paper on the table, and there were only three words written on it … Yu Lai Ting.
There weren’t many puddles on the street. The soles of his black boots were white, and as he walked on the rainwater, he gave off an aesthetic feeling similar to a splashing ink painting. The black DEA silk clothes with purple-gold lines looked very beautiful yet still looked very heavy, very compatible with this dark and terrible night. He held his umbrella and saber, and walked down the street to the Yu Li Pavilion by himself. Yu Lai Pavilion was rather famous in the deer city, but it was not because of this pavilion, but because of the bun house opposite of it.
The old man who sold the steamed buns had been working here for 30 years. No matter if it was windy or rainy, he wouldn’t rest. He would make 300 steamed buns every day. Logically speaking, even if he wasn’t able to accumulatuge fortune after thirty years of working hard, he should be able to live a better life. However, he still wore patched clothes and a patched apron. He looked dirty … However, he had a pair of hands that could not be any cleaner.
Although the back of his hands was full of age spots, even the most picky girl wouldn’t think that his bun was dirty just because of his hands. His fingernails were cut very short, and there was not a single speck of dirt in the gaps between them.
This wasn’t the most special one. The most special one was that this old man only sold meat buns all his life, not vegetarian bags. Someone once asked him why he didn’t sell vegetarian bags so he could recruit customers that didn’t eat meat.
The old man said: “I don’t eat vegetarian, why should I sell vegetarian bag? A vegetarian, why did I ask him to buy my meat bun? ”
He is a very strange old man, but... The meat buns he made were truly delicious.
When An Zheng walked out of the Yu Lai Pavilion with the blade in his hand, he saw the hot air rising up from the bun house. On this rainy night, the hot air felt thicker. An Zheng suddenly thought that if he had eaten two hot meat buns before killing someone, he would probably be very happy and satisfied. Therefore, An Zheng walked over, put the blade to one side, and umbrella to the other.
“How much do you need?”
the old man asked.
An Zheng looked at the size of the bun: “How much?”
The old man took a meat bun and placed it in front of An Zheng. “Here’s one for you.
“Why?”
“I’ll give you a meat bun for the person who dies. After you die, stop wandering around the place, if you want to scare people off to the distance, then that old woman from the meat business will not retire even at the age of sixty. You can go scare her to death.”
An Zheng: “...”
The old man skillfully rolled out the roll, folded it skillfully and put it in the pot skillfully.
“No one will come again tonight. The rain is getting heavier, so why are there so many buns?”
“I don’t care if others come or not. Three hundred buns a day, that’s for me.”
An Zheng pointed at the steamed buns: “Give me a drawer.”
The old man placed a drawer full of buns in front of An Zheng, and then handed him an empty bowl. He pointed to the seasoning on the table: “Hot pepper oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, coriander, and onions.”
An Zheng didn’t even look at it, he just picked up a bun and took a bite … Then, he let out a satisfied groan. This steamed bun was truly too delicious. He wasn’t fat nor was he greasy. As he took a bite, the fragrance of the soup entered his throat. When the soup flowed into his mouth, it felt extremely comfortable as if it was being massaged. There were six buns in a tray. It didn’t even take a minute for An Zheng to finish eating it.
“Another drawer.”
“Want to be a dead meat?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Elder, why do you think that I will definitely die?”
“On a rainy night like this, there will always be many deadly events that happen. I have been selling buns here for thirty years, what have I not seen before? Generally speaking, the one who comes out alone with a knife and an umbrella like you is the one who will definitely die. “You don’t know where the other person is, how many people are there, you can’t even see through the curtain of rain, or perhaps you don’t even know why you came here, but just because you were confused, you came and died …”
The old man put down the bun and went to make a new one.
In less than a minute, An Zheng finished another plate of steamed buns. The rainy night was slightly cold, so Steamed Bun warmed his stomach.
“Why don’t you use vinegar or soy sauce?”
“Steamed Bun is Steamed Bun. Anything dipped in it will ruin the taste.”
An Zheng ate ravenously, the soup at the corner of his mouth making him look a little ridiculous. The old man became serious and did not speak anymore, he only placed the cooked buns in front of An Zheng, and An Zheng did not speak anymore, he just brought over a drawer and atlate, slowly, the drawer beside him had already piled up to the height of a person. The old man put the last of the buns on the fire, then squatted by the door and lit his pipe.
“How much is it?”
“Two hundred ninety-four.”
“Then I’ll wait.”
An Zheng sat there quietly, his hands on his knees, a little sincere.
A few minutes later, the old man stood up and placed the last plate of buns in front of An Zheng: “Your appetite is really big.”
The corner of An Zheng’s mouth hooked up, “It’s even bigger than what you imagined.”
On a rainy night, An Zheng ate three hundred buns and then turned around to the old man with the blade in hand, “Have you broken the rules? If there are none, I might as well try making another three hundred buns tonight. I can also eat them. ”
Yu Lai Ting had three hundred corpses lying on the ground.
An Zheng returned with his umbrella and blade in hand, gasping for breath.
“You’re not going to make the steamed buns or leave? What are you waiting for?”
The old man replied seriously, “You haven’t paid yet.”
