The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 475 We Do Have Another Purpose

Jiang Suining looked in the direction of Cheng Du's finger. Except for the different color of the lanterns at the door, the shop was the same as the others. The dark eaves were illuminated by the dark blue lanterns, giving off a strange blue light, just like the will-o'-the-wisp from hell. She walked closer, stood outside the door and looked inside. It was pitch black and very quiet. It was so quiet that Jiang Suining felt that there seemed to be something behind the dark silence, like staring straight into people's eyes, making people feel uncomfortable. Xier, standing next to Jiang Suining, also stared inside with wide eyes, "There is no one here, how can you do business?" Jiang Suining's eyes fell on the darkness, "No, there is someone." The feeling of being stared at was too strong, it was definitely not an illusion. Cheng Du heard this, glanced at Jiang Suining, and smiled, "Yes, there is someone." "Where is the person?" Xier asked in confusion. Cheng Du did not answer, but also looked at the darkness and raised his voice a little. "The customer has come, why don't you hurry up and notify your shopkeeper to come back? Don't you really want to do business?" As Cheng Du finished speaking, a short figure gradually walked out of the darkness. The other person was less than four feet tall, and at first glance, I thought he was just a child, but when he walked in front of me, under the reflection of the lantern at the door, I realized that he was an adult, and he was not young. His eyes were staring straight at Jiang Suining and Xier, his eyes were black and his eyes were fierce, which looked really scary. Xier instinctively took two steps back, but thinking of her own lady, she hurried forward and stood beside Jiang Suining. "Where is the jade pendant?" A hoarse voice sounded, like sandpaper rubbing against rough dried bark. Jiang Suining took out the jade pendant, and the short man only took a look and said something. "Wait, I'll go find the shopkeeper." After saying that, he slowly walked out the door. When passing by Jiang Suining and the others, Xier subconsciously held her breath, her heart beating fast, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the other person walked away. "This man is too scary!" Although most people look weird since entering this black market, the look in the eyes of the short man just now is simply chilling. "His name is Ma Wulang, he is a clerk in this bank. I heard that he killed all his enemies in his early years and hid in this underground black market." Cheng Duan spoke while leaning lazily against the door. Seeing that Jiang Suining and the others were still standing there, he pointed to the chairs in the shop. "You can sit down and take a rest." "No need." Jiang Suining shook his head, looked back at the street, and asked Cheng Du, "You just said that he killed the whole family of his enemies, so his martial arts skills are very high?" "I don't know about this, after all, I came late. But sometimes you don't necessarily have to use martial arts to kill people. I heard that he first relied on his body to sneak into the enemy's house and poisoned them, and then dismembered each person with his own hands." "Dismembered?" Xier's face turned pale instantly, "This, this is too cruel, what did that family do to him?" Cheng Du raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Suining and Xier with some amusement. "That family poisoned him, turning him from a tall and elegant young man into what he looked like just now." "There is such a poison in the world?" Xier said in disbelief. "How can there be no, that family is a master in developing poisons, proficient in various pharmacology. After they died, Ma Wulang found the poison that made him look like this now, and brought a lot of it to this black market. I got one by chance, how about it, are you interested in buying it?" Cheng Du's eyes fell on Jiang Suining's face. "Miss Yang, since you come to this bank to withdraw money, why not spend money to buy this medicine from me? If you have any enemies you don't like in the future, find a way to make them eat it, so that they will become like Ma Wulang, which is very satisfying." Jiang Suining looked at Cheng Du with a normal expression, "If you want to make money, you can change the way, don't use such lies to bluff people." "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you might as well ask Ma Wulang in person later. It's just that he has a bad temper and hates others mentioning things about his figure in front of him. Of course, I can also ask for you. If he gets angry, you must remember to run faster." "No, don't ask!" Xier spoke quickly, and her face became paler when she thought of Ma Wulang's appearance just now. Jiang Suining looked at Xier and patted her arm to comfort her. "Don't be afraid." She looked at Cheng Du with a bit of displeasure on her face. "I paid you to lead the way. It's not kind to take the money and deliberately tell nonsense to scare customers." Cheng Du shrugged his shoulders. "How can Miss Yang be sure that I am talking nonsense?" "According to what you said, how could a family of masters who are proficient in pharmacology and develop poisons be easily drugged by Ma Wulang? What's more, I don't know what kind of medicine in this world can shrink a person's body without damaging the skin and bones. Instead of saying that he was poisoned, Mr. Cheng might as well make up some fantasy stories about ghosts and gods, which may be more convincing." Although Ma Wulang was short, there was no problem from his limbs to his skin. Obviously, he was born like this, and it was not caused by any acquired poisoning. Cheng Du heard this expose, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He tilted his head and smiled thoughtfully. "Thank you for your advice, Miss Yang. I'll try to make up a story about ghosts and demons next time." "So you're really lying to us!" Xi'er was annoyed. "How can you be like this? You took five hundred taels of silver from us, but you're still making up lies here. It's really too much. You..." "Xi'er." Jiang Suining interrupted Xi'er's reproachful words and shook his head at her. Although the latter was still unhappy, he was silent for a moment and didn't continue talking. Fortunately, he was not so scared in his heart. Cheng Du looked at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Jiang Suining's face again. "Miss Yang looks braver than when we were by the river." Jiang Suining also looked at Cheng Du, "There's still half of the silver that hasn't been paid to you. You probably don't want us to get into trouble and the silver that is about to be in hand will go down the drain." "Of course." Cheng Du smiled and nodded. "So..." "So Miss Yang, you can rest assured. This Ma Wulang is just a clerk in the bank. Although he looks a little scary, he won't do anything to you, unless..." "Unless what?" Xi'er asked. Cheng Du's eyes were long and for a moment, reflecting a dim light that made people feel cold. "Unless you entered this ghost market for another purpose." Xier immediately denied, "Don't talk nonsense, of course we don't..." "We do have another purpose." Jiang Suining suddenly said.
