Chapter 76
In Lihuayuan, Yage Pavilion on the second floor, the woman is still increasing the price.
One thousand taels!
It's really not about money, it's about dignity and the bottom line!
Seeing Lin Xiu's resolute attitude, the woman looked a little disappointed, and said, If you regret it, you can come to Baoding Hou Mansion to find me at any time, and we can talk about the price...
Unexpectedly, this woman had a background in the Second-Class Marquis's Mansion, Lin Xiu said helplessly, Madam, tell me what you want me to do.
Speaking of this matter, the woman's eyes showed a fierce look, and she gritted her teeth and said, That bastard eats mine, lives in mine, spends my money, and dares to find a woman behind my back. You help me get the evidence that he betrayed me, and I will give you one thousand taels as a reward!
Lin Xiu quickly figured out the situation of this woman.
It turned out that she raised a little boy, and usually provided him with food, drink and entertainment, on the premise that the boy wanted to play with her.
In recent days, she found that Xiaobai's public rations were seriously insufficient, so she suspected that she had been greened. For this reason, she found several undercover investigators, but they couldn't find any key evidence. Lin Xiu was already the first person she changed. Five spies.
It seems that this business is still a bit difficult, but Lin Xiu still readily accepts it.
After all, one thousand taels of silver was not insignificant to his temptation.
There is another detail that makes Lin Xiu very speechless. This rich woman takes care of other pretty faces and asks him not to favor her, but what she told Lin Xiu just now is that she can do anything except spend time with her. This is obviously a different treatment. ah.
Before leaving, this woman did not forget to tell Lin Xiu: If you change your mind, remember to come to me!
After paying one hundred taels in advance, she reluctantly left here.
After finally seeing her off, Lin Xiu saw Caiyi smiling and asked, Miss Caiyi, what are you laughing at?
Caiyi smiled and said, I just think that the young master has a bottom line and perseverance, one thousand taels of silver per month, how many people can resist such a big temptation?
In fact, Lin Xiu couldn't resist it. Based on the price of this world, one thousand taels of silver is almost one million yuan in later generations, one million a month. Even if it is a steel ball warning... some people may grit their teeth and bear it. .
Lin Xiu said helplessly to Caiyi: Actually, I also like silver, but I really can't do anything with that lady. If it's a girl in Caiyi, let alone a thousand taels, I would also like a hundred taels...
After Caiyi got acquainted with Lin Xiu, every time he teased her, she let go a lot. Hearing this, she just smiled lightly and said, Then I want to earn money, and when the time comes, my lord must remember what I said today... ...
Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow. I'm waiting for the girl in Caiyi...
...
After teasing Caiyi for a while in Lihuayuan, Lin Xiu returned to the Lin Mansion. He didn't forget that he still had business to do.
This is the first business he received as a secret agent. He must do it well in order to be famous. This is very important for a new secret agent.
The woman had given Lin Xiu the appearance and address of the little boy. What Lin Xiu had to do was to monitor this man's movements, and it was best to find evidence that he betrayed the woman.
Lin Xiu didn't have to do this kind of thing at all. After bribing the thrush with a meal of bird food, it flew out to help Lin Xiu monitor the target.
It was not until two hours later that it flapped its wings and flew into Lin Xiu's room from the window, landed on the table, and chirped a few times.
Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, Did you lose track?
Little Thrush yelled a few more times, and Lin Xiu was thoughtful after listening.
Just over an hour ago, it saw the target leave the house, went into a restaurant to eat, and then did not come out. Later, it got impatient and went to the man's house to check, only to find that he had gone home .
The first reaction of a normal person upon hearing this is that when the target left the restaurant, it was distracted and didn't notice, but Lin Xiu didn't think so.
In order to find evidence of this person's betrayal, Lin Xiu was not the only secret agent that the rich woman found. Before him, she also found four secret detectives who were all more famous than Lin Xiu, a newcomer, but without exception, they all Failed.
And before finding the spy, she asked the servants around her to follow him, but they still found nothing.
This business is indeed a bit difficult.
It seems that this thousand taels of silver is not easy to earn. Lin Xiu asked Huamei to observe the target for two more days, and found that he would leave home at a fixed time every afternoon, and then disappear, until two or three hours later, he would directly appear in the home.
This also aroused Lin Xiu's interest. On this day, he went out with Rhubarb and Thrush himself, and saw the man enter a restaurant. He was sitting by the tea stand outside the restaurant, drinking tea while waiting.
It was time for dinner, and people came and went from time to time in the restaurant, but the target Lin Xiu was waiting for did not appear.
At a certain moment, Rhubarb, lying at Lin Xiu's feet, suddenly sniffed, and then called out in a low voice: Master, master, he's come out!
Lin Xiu immediately looked at the door of the restaurant, but found nothing. Just when he was puzzled, Da Huang said again: Master, that's the one who came out just now. Although his appearance has changed and his clothes have changed, the smell on his body No change!
Lin Xiu's gaze immediately locked on a young man in a gray gown. This person was also very handsome, but he was quite different from the target Lin Xiu was following, and his clothes were also different. However, the height and shape of the two were quite different. Very similar.
Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what was happening, and stood up abruptly.
This person is a person with different abilities, he can change his face!
It's no wonder that no matter whether it was the servants of the Hou's mansion or Lin Xiu's previous secret investigation, there was no evidence that he was looking for a woman. Thrush returned without success every time, and even Lin Xiu was deceived. Fortunately, he came out today to bring Had rhubarb.
He can change his appearance, but not his smell.
A trace of fire appeared in Lin Xiu's eyes, and she followed without leaving a trace.
What he was thinking at the moment was not just the one thousand taels of reward, the ability to disguise himself was too important to him now!
It can be said that Lin Xiu's face brought him a lot of trouble. The king didn't know how many people wanted to kill him secretly. Although His Majesty sent people from the secret investigation department to protect him, but the corresponding , Lin Xiu also lost his freedom.
He knew that those two secret agents were protecting him in the dark, his safety was guaranteed, but he also lost his secret.
If there is a thunderstorm next time, Lin Xiu will have no way to go out to practice again. This is a problem he has been worrying about.
If he could change his countenance, things would be much easier.
When doing something that cannot be known by others, or is inconvenient to be known by others, he can completely change his face, change his identity, and do it silently. He no longer has to worry about being assassinated in the street, or his biggest secret being exposed .
And the premise of all this is to get this person's ability!
Liu Dong was very disdainful as he walked on the bustling streets.
That short, fat and ugly stupid woman actually had doubts about him, and even hired secret agents to investigate him. It was a joke. He Liu Dong has been in the flowers for many years, relying on his ability to change his appearance, Even if he went out to find women every day, she couldn't find any evidence.
If it wasn't for her money and her extravagant life, he would never have slept on that dead fat pig's bed. Every day he was hugged by a pile of fat to sleep, which created a great shadow in his heart. Only a beautiful and gentle little sister can soothe his wounded heart...
As for the dead fat pig, she'll let people check it out slowly. Just check it casually, and if he finds the evidence, he loses!
Thinking this way in his heart, Liu Dong has already walked to the door of a brothel he often comes to.
After rubbing a few hands on the girls waiting for customers at the door, Liu Dong put his arm around one of them and walked in with a smile, ready to comfort himself for the grievance he suffered last night.
Lin Xiu stood on the street not far away, watching all this silently.
He knows that few people can resist the temptation to struggle for thirty years less, especially after entering society and being beaten by life, they will gradually realize that dignity and the bottom line are actually the most worthless things, and some people are cruel As soon as you bite your teeth, you will choose to take a shortcut.
Dreams are not worth mentioning in front of reality.
But few people understand that the gift of fate has already been secretly priced.
The shortcut of 30 years less struggle is not so easy to take. In her previous life, Lin Xiu knew that many beautiful men and women who were taken care of by rich wives and rich men at a young age actually spend their own money to have fun in private. Their psychology has been suppressed for a long time. Yes, need release more than normal.
Especially the little milk dogs and little wolf dogs who are taken care of by older rich women, their situation is even more miserable, because men's desires in certain aspects will decrease with age, and they pursue more things, money, Power, these are more attractive to them than beauty, and occasionally looking for a beautiful girl is to satisfy normal physiological needs.
But women are different. Their desires will increase with age, and they have more methods, some of which are even unheard of. Lin Xiu just heard that kind of description, and she felt shuddering. The misery of those who experienced it personally, needless to say up.
Lin Xiu understood Liu Dong's behavior, but did not sympathize with him.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Now that he has decided to be a jerk, he must have the awareness to be a jerk. From the perspective of the jerk industry, his behavior can be regarded as breaking the rules.
Lin Xiu found a teahouse opposite the brothel to drink tea, and by the way, gave the teahouse clerk two coins and asked him to go to Baoding Hou Mansion to invite the woman over, saying that he had already found clues that Liu Dong had betrayed her.
Half an hour later, a chubby body led a dozen servants of the Hou's mansion to the gate of the brothel.
When Lin Xiu walked out of the teahouse, the woman asked angrily, Where is that dog?
Lin Xiudao: Don't worry, wait until he comes out.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, I can't wait!
After finishing speaking, she rushed in with more than a dozen servants, entered the brothel, moved a chair, blocked the door, and said: Look for it, let me look for it one by one!
It's not evening yet, so not many people choose to have fun at this time, including Liu Dong, there are only three guests in this brothel at the moment.
The three of them were having a good time when someone kicked the door in. They were terrified immediately, but seeing the aura of the person coming, they didn't dare to say anything, put on their clothes disheveledly, and came down from the stairs.
When Liu Dong saw the fat woman sitting at the door, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he calmed down soon.
He is absolutely sure that no one will recognize him.
At this time, the fat woman also found that there was no one she was looking for, looked at Lin Xiu, and asked doubtfully, Where is the person you are talking about?
Lin Xiu walked up to Liu Dong, and in his terrified eyes, stretched out her hand, pulled Liu Dong's face to both sides, and rubbed it.
Then, a miraculous scene happened.
After Lin Xiu rubbed and rubbed, the young man's face just now changed into a different one.
Liu Dong looked terrified, but the fat woman's eyes instantly widened.
She suddenly stood up from the chair, with endless rage in her heart, and said loudly: Damn it, I will feed and clothe you, yet you still dare to find a woman behind my back, beat me hard!
When the followers she brought heard the words, they immediately rushed forward, kicked Liu Dong to the ground, and punched and kicked him.
Yuanyuan, I was wrong, I was wrong!
I will never dare again!
Please forgive me this time!
...
Liu Dong hugged his head and kept begging for mercy on the ground, but the fat woman didn't show any intention of stopping, she said with disgust on her face, I hate betraying men the most, hit me, don't stop!
The ability of disguise is just the lowest level of different skills, without attack or defense ability, and he passed out soon after being punched and kicked by more than a dozen strong men.
Seeing that the woman still didn't want to stop, Lin Xiu took the initiative to walk over and said, Stop beating, people will die, and no one will end well.
He separated the crowd, put Liu Dongkang who had fainted on his shoulders, and said: I've already knocked him out, I'll send him to the hospital first, it will be bad if something happens, that, Miss Yuanyuan, See you in Lihuayuan in a while.
Carrying Liu Dong on her shoulders, Lin Xiu walked out of the brothel on her own.
At the same time, the power of healing in his body has already traveled around this person's body, and he has some understanding of his physical condition, but two broken ribs, just fainted from the pain, the problem is not big .
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiu threw the man in the nearest medical center, left a few pieces of silver, and came to Lihuayuan.
The woman is already waiting here.
Lin Xiu said to her: I put him in the Tongren Medical Center and paid the consultation fee in advance. Madam will send someone to collect it later.
The woman snorted coldly, and said: What kind of person is an old lady? One time of betrayal, you won't use it for life. That dog man, let him fend for himself.
Afterwards, she gave Lin Xiu another wink and said, What's your name, Ma'am? I'm not much older than you. My name is sister...
A wink almost caused Lin Xiu to spit out the last night's meal. This woman was probably a few years older than his mother, so Lin Xiu couldn't call her sister.
The woman looked at Lin Xiu and praised: This doggy man can change his appearance. No wonder I searched for several secret agents before, but they didn't catch him. This little brother is really outstanding. Why? So, have you thought about it, as long as you follow me, you can have a thousand taels of silver every month, even if you raise other women outside, I don't care...
Lin Xiu said decisively: I have found the evidence of that person's betrayal, and for the follow-up remuneration, please also Madam...
The woman gave Lin Xiu a dissatisfied look, took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve, and said, It's just one thousand taels. If you follow me, there are several thousand taels...
Lin Xiu took the bank note, and said seriously, I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm a decent person. The education I've received since I was a child doesn't allow me to do this kind of thing...
The woman shook her head, and said, You are still too young, your dignity and your bottom line are all imaginary, what I said is still valid, when will you change your mind, and when will you come to me...
Although Lin Xiu is not a serious person, he still picks people.
If it was Caiyi or Lingyin Xue Ning'er who said this sentence, he might have agreed, but this..., he really couldn't let it go.
The class leader of Lihuayuan stood behind Lin Xiu, and said enviously: One thousand taels of silver, our theater building can't earn so much in a few years, these people are really rich...
Although all roads lead to Rome, some people are born to live in Rome.
What they have from birth is what ordinary people can't have after a lifetime of hard work. It is like this now, and it will still be like this in thousands of years.
That's why some people chose shortcuts in order to save decades of struggle, and gave up hard work at a young age. Lin Xiu also hoped that a young and beautiful rich woman would give him one hundred thousand taels, so that he would not have to work hard to make money to practice.
Of course, Lin Xiu's biggest gain today was not the one thousand taels.
He returned to the Lin Mansion, closed the door, and came to the bronze mirror.
Lin Xiu touched his face, his face changed for a while, and finally turned into a simple and honest man.
It was Sun Dali.
Afterwards, Sun Dali's face turned into Li Baizhang, Liu Qingfeng, and Yang Xuan...
He originally wanted to become Lingyin and Caiyi, but after thinking about it, this feeling was too unsuitable, and it would be easy to be embarrassed when he saw them next time, so he dismissed the idea.
Lin Xiu had a great time playing alone in the room. This disguise technique seems to be different from what was recorded in the book. The book said that this technique can change a person's face, but the change takes time, and the face cannot be affected. External force, otherwise the prototype will appear, but it is not the case in Lin Xiu's body.
He can change as he wants, different faces can even be seamlessly switched, and even if he kneads his face very hard, the changed face of others will not change.
Lin Xiu soon realized the reason.
The art of disguise is a low-grade art of the yellow rank. People who have awakened this ability in history have only the level of the first awakening. Of course, it changes slowly and is easily destroyed by external forces.
But Lin Xiu is using this ability at the level of the second awakened Yuanli, and it will naturally become faster and more stable.
In a sense, from now on, the ability of disguise is already a high-grade yellow rank.
However, after becoming familiar with this ability, Lin Xiu also discovered a drawback of this ability.
That is, he can only change his face, but not other parts of his body, such as height, body shape, etc. If he turns into a woman, it will only be an airport, and he has an Adam's apple, which can be seen through at a glance.
In general, with Lin Xiu's current strength, there are still many limitations in using this ability. I don't know if there will be some changes after awakening Yuanli many times.
Lin Xiu thought about it, and suddenly blushed...
