Strange?

After all, these ordinary citizens normally did not have much fun, so they liked to listen to gossip from the officials' families.

"W-mouse?" Everyone was astonished.

The young man nodded his head, "That's right, hundreds and thousands of rats entered the Hou Mansion just like that.

The man spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes. His expression was firm and mysterious.

The others, on the other hand, looked at each other in dismay. It was obvious that they didn't quite believe him and felt that this was unthinkable. After all, how could Lao Shu enter the Marquis Mansion together? Isn't this too strange?

However, the corner of Mo Wei Nong's lips curled up slightly, and he slowly took another sip of tea.

The people eating in the hall seemed to be attracted by the commotion, and they all listened attentively.

From time to time, guests would enter the door, and there was probably some news about the Marquis Mansion as well.

Not long after, this place became a circle, and Ye Zichen could hear a few sentences from time to time.

"I also heard that most of the women in Hou Mansion were scared senseless. No matter how brave the manservant was, he couldn't withstand so many rats entering his house. He was so scared that he peed his pants."

"Isn't that so? At that time, I was carrying a burden to the city to rush to the city. When I passed by the Marquis Mansion, the miserable screams inside almost scared me to the point that I thought I was causing a ghost. "

"I heard that many things in Marquis Mansion have been bitten, including tables and chairs, various precious books and paintings, and even the indentations of many maids and servants were bitten to pieces."

"Also, the old ladies in Hou Mansion are so scared that they can't even get up from their beds. Even the imperial physicians are all gone."

"I heard that when the Emperor received the news, he flew into a rage and sent someone to investigate what had happened. But how? "The rats have long since disappeared without a trace, and every time I think about it, I feel a chill down my spine. There are so many of them, could there have been plague?"

"Isn't that so? The imperial government is also worried about this issue. Right now, the imperial government has already ordered that the Marquis Mansion be temporarily sealed off, and other than people from the capital's Zhaoyin and the Imperial Physician Guild, no one else is allowed in or out. It is only until they are sure that the people of the Hou Mansion are fine. "

"Tsk tsk, do you think this Marquis Mansion has done something evil? Marquis Mansion was assassinated just a day ago, and now they have met with such a strange thing in the blink of an eye. "

"That's right, we must have done something that the heavens cannot tolerate, otherwise, with so many rats here, they wouldn't even come to our disorderly southern part of the city, yet they chose to go to the Hou Mansion. Isn't this just retribution?"

Yes, retribution.

Mo Wei Nong laughed, and this was their retribution for attacking Lan Qin.

Just you wait, it's not over yet.

When Shen Qian returned, he was a little surprised to hear these rumors. He couldn't help but frown and sit across from Mo Wei Nong.

He originally thought that since the Master suffered, the twelve of them would make their move against him.

Although the Flame King's Mansion and the rest were unable to rush in, they were still able to enter and exit quietly.

But he never thought that such a huge thing would happen in the blink of an eye in Marquis Mansion, it was simply unimaginable.

Rat plague? Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.

Shen Qian shook his body inexplicably, before turning to face Mo Wei Nong, and said seriously: "Master, I just saw Shopkeeper Xu. He said that it just so happens that there's a private matter today, and he asked me if I want to accept it, what do you think …."

He knew that Mo Wei Nong needed money now. Now that the old man was no longer here, he would listen to Mo Wei Nong's orders and do whatever they had to do in the future.

"Personal work?" Mo Wei Nong's eyes lit up, and asked softly: What kind of job?

"The son of the Minister of the Civil Service." Shen Qian was referring to the person the employer wanted to kill.

The two of them spoke in a hushed tone. Coupled with the noisy surroundings, it was quite convenient for them to talk.

Minister of the Civil Service? Mo Wei Nong frowned. Actually, it was not wise to involve himself with the Shangguan Family.

However... Everything depends on the circumstances.

Mo Wei Nong lowered his eyes and asked, "Who is the employer?"

Shen Qian shook his head, "I did not reveal this."

"How confident are you?"

"One hundred percent." Shen Qian opened his mouth without thinking, "Let alone the son of the Minister of the Civil Service, even if it was the Minister of the Civil Service himself, we would have still fought before. It's just that at that time, the Old Master said that he only wanted us to teach him a lesson and let us hurt him and let us leave, thus allowing him to keep his life. "

"Oh?" Mo Wei Nong was curious, "You guys killed them before … "Who are they?" Even the Minister of the Civil Service had fought before?

"Corrupt officials."

Mo Wei Nong raised his eyebrows, the old man only asked them to train the assassins to deal with the corrupt officials? That was strange.

Could it be that the old tutor was a cynical person who wasn't used to seeing dog officials bullying the common people?

Doesn't look like it.

That old man is a nuisance.

"That means, this Minister of the Civil Service is not a good official?"

Shen Qian nodded, "Last time, after we injured him, he restrained himself quite a bit during this half year. However, that son of his actually relied on his power to bully others. He was still as lawless as before. He had offended a lot of people. "

Mo Wei Nong nodded, "Alright, I will take the job. "How much is it?"

Even though she felt that the killer was taking up the job, as long as the price was fair, it didn't matter whether the victim was a good person or a bad person.

Only, Mo Wei Nong felt that when it came to the Shangguan Family, it was better to be cautious.

Shen Qian said, "The employer bids 10,000 taels of silver."

Mo Wei Nong frowned, ten thousand gold was not little.

"Then this subordinate will go look for Shopkeeper Xu and get the deposit first."

"Go."

Shen Qian once again stood up and walked toward the rear courtyard.

Mo Wei Nong looked around, supporting his chin on his hand, he looked at his surroundings. There were more and more people discussing about the Marquis Mansion, and the number of customers at the table also increased.

It seemed that this matter was indeed too horrifying, causing everyone to discuss about it with interest.

Shen Qian returned very quickly, but this time, he had a box in his hands, and his expression was heavy.

Mo Wei Nong strangely put down the cup. What was going on? The silver notes in the box were understandable to her, but the expression on his face was rather subtle.

Sure enough, the moment Shen Qian came over, he pushed the box towards her and whispered, "Master, other than giving me a deposit, you gave me this box as well."

As he spoke, he opened the square, palm-sized box in front of him.
