Xia Taoyuan looked around and didn't see anyone. But now she was completely calm and not afraid at all, as the saying goes, good cannot prevail over evil.

She stepped forward and said to Boss Liu, "Look, I didn't do anything. This is the Bodhisattva appearing. Tell me, who told you to kill me?"

Boss Liu snorted coldly and pretended to stand up. Xia Taoyuan took a step back and picked up the kitchen knife that had been knocked down. Boss Liu tried to stand up but failed. Xia Taoyuan waved the kitchen knife in front of him: "You tell me, and I'll forgive you for what happened."

Boss Liu looked at the dead skinny monkey and knew that someone was secretly helping Xia Taoyuan. He also knew that he was probably in danger today and regretted taking this job. He could move now, but the pain had not yet subsided. If he moved, it would only be more painful. The person who hit him was too strong, and the small stone was embedded in the flesh.

"I said, will you promise to let me go?" Boss Liu was a little discouraged.

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold!" Xia Taoyuan said firmly.

"Okay, you have to ensure that I am alive. If you don't kill me, the people who help you secretly can't kill me either." Boss Liu looked straight at Xia Taoyuan.

"This... I promise you." Xia Taoyuan thought to himself: I won't kill you, why should I care about others.

"If I am killed by you and the people who help you, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. I curse you to be a prostitute for the rest of your life!" Boss Liu said grimly.

How vicious! Xia Taoyuan almost dropped the kitchen knife in an impulsive move. Chu Xingluo's face was so gloomy in the dark of the grove that water seemed to drip out. Qingyun was about to rush out in anger, but was stopped by Long Yan.

Xia Taoyuan tried to calm herself down: "I promised you, go ahead."

"It's Gu Xixi." Boss Liu uttered three words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yan Qingyun looked at his master at the same time. Chu Xingluo's face became even gloomier, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Gu Xixi? Who is she? I don't even know her. Why does she want to kill me?" Xia Taoyuan was very confused.

"How would I know why she wanted to kill you?" Boss Liu hung his head and tried hard to stand up.

"What does this Gu Xixi do? Why do you obey her?" Xia Taoyuan asked.

"The little bitch who sings in Lichunyuan." said Old Liu.

This was even more strange. Lichunyuan sounded like a brothel. This was the first time she had heard of it, and she didn't even know Gu Xixi. Why did she kill her? Xia Taoyuan was puzzled. She only knew that there was a Wangchunlou on Jinshi Street. When she thought of Wangchunlou, she thought of the time when she wore men's clothes and almost had a conflict with Li Si from Wangchunlou. But Wangchunlou and Lichunyuan were not the same place.

I only heard Boss Liu continue, "I lost some money a few days ago and was short of money. I hadn't heard much about this skinny monkey. Yesterday he found me and said he had a deal for a lot of money. I agreed without thinking."

It turned out that Shouhou was a lazy hoodlum who spent his money on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Liu Lao Da was indeed a butcher. He was not lustful but he loved gambling. As the saying goes, even if you have a lot of gold and silver, it can't stop the addiction to gambling. Liu Lao Da gambled several times and lost a lot of money. He had no money to buy pigs. When he was worried, Shouhou came to him and said he had a big deal.

Lichunyuan was a small brothel, and its customers were all suffering people from the lower class. When Shouhou had money, he would often go there, and that was where he met Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi found Shouhou yesterday and asked him to kill Wei Zhiying from the Xiangfu, saying that if he succeeded, he would be given 200 taels of silver and a deposit of 50 taels. 200 taels of silver is not a small amount, let alone killing the daughter of the Xiangfu, he would even kill the prime minister!

Xia Taoyuan smiled bitterly. His life was only worth two hundred taels of silver. He sighed and realized that the old saying was right. People addicted to gambling are inhumane.

Skinny Monkey was unsure, so he thought of Boss Liu, a butcher, so it should be easy for him to kill a person. So the two conspired, stole the carriage at the door of a wealthy family, and ambushed in the alley near the Xiangfu. The two did not expect to meet Xia Taoyuan on the first day. Originally, they did not know Wei Zhiying, the daughter of the Xiangfu, but when Xia Taoyuan and Lu Qing'er left the Xiangfu, Lu Qing'er called Zhiying several times.

At first, it was difficult for them to act because of Lu Qing'er. Unexpectedly, not long after, Xia Taoyuan came back alone. Coincidentally, there was no one else in the alley at that time, so the two of them succeeded easily.

Xia Taoyuan understood the whole story, but who was Gu Xixi? Why did she want to kill her? She almost lost her virginity. She couldn't just swallow this anger.

While Liu Lao Da was still struggling to stand up, her legs were much better now, she went over and kicked him to the ground with all her might, then kicked him twice more on his injured leg, as revenge for the kick Liu Lao Da had given her.

Boss Liu cursed in pain, and Xia Taoyuan sneered, "I promised you that I won't kill you, but I didn't promise you that I won't torture you." As he said that, he turned around and chopped the skinny monkey's neck with a kitchen knife, and the skinny monkey was immediately beheaded.

Qingyun, who was deep in the grove, raised his thumb and said softly, "The princess is truly a heroine, I like her!" Long Yan rolled his eyes at him, while Chu Xingluo glared at him.
