Chapter 680: When Amateurs Try to Do Professionals' Work, They Are Bound to Fail
Chu Liuxiang took his hand away from his nose and changed the subject. "The Famous Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. Let's go and see if those silver needles are still there."
Hu Tiefu jumped up. "Let's go, let's go, let's go! We'll dig out those needles and put them back. Next time we see the murderer, we'll make him taste the power of the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles!"
Jin Banhua reminded them, "The other party is an expert in using poisons. Be careful, they might have coated the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles with poison."
Hu Tiefu laughed. "Brother Jin, you don't know this. The Rain of Pear Blossom Needles are incredibly powerful and fast, and if you're hit, there's no saving you. There's no need to coat them with poison."
Jin Banhua raised an eyebrow. "Brother Hu, you have such rich experience in the world. Admiring, admiring!"
"Ha ha, well said!" Hu Tiefu laughed loudly. "You've been following me for two years, and you've learned a lot."
Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiefu arrived in the courtyard, marveling at the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, which were faster than sound. Seeing Hu Tiefu use a small knife to dig out two fine needles, Chu Liuxiang handed him a cloth.
"What for?"
"Better safe than sorry," Chu Liuxiang said. "Since the other party is skilled in poison, they might have coated the needles with it."
"Brother Jin, you lack experience in the world, and now you're being overly cautious?" Hu Tiefu shook his head, took the cloth, and said, "The person who launched the hidden weapon was at least fifteen to twenty feet away. These needles still managed to penetrate the ground, showing their power."
"Even if the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles hit, you'd have dozens of holes in your body. With such power, what poison would you need?" Hu Tiefu said.
However, even though he said this, he didn't touch the needles with his hands. Instead, he wrapped all twenty-seven silver needles in the cloth.
After Hu Tiefu collected all the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, the sky had already begun to lighten.
The door of the main house in the opposite small courtyard creaked open. Li Yuhan opened the door and met Hu Tiefu and Chu Liuxiang at the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Brother Chu? Brother Hu?" Li Yuhan said in surprise. "You two are up quite early."
Hu Tiefu sighed helplessly. "We didn't get up early; we haven't slept yet!"
Li Yuhan's eyes flickered. "Did something happen?"
Hu Tiefu didn't answer but asked, "Is your wife feeling better?"
Li Yuhan laughed bitterly. "It seems I disturbed the two of you. I apologize for disturbing your rest."
"No, no, this has nothing to do with your wife," Hu Tiefu waved his hand. "We just encountered someone trying to assassinate us and were worried about your safety."
"Oh?" Li Yuhan frowned. "Who would dare to plot against the two of you? They must be tired of living."
Chu Liuxiang's eyes sparkled, and he smiled faintly. "Since your wife is unwell, let's discuss this in my courtyard."
"Alright!" Li Yuhan nodded and said, "It's her old ailment, which flares up twice a month. It's not too serious, just very troublesome."
The three of them returned to Chu Liuxiang's small courtyard and saw Jin Banhua waiting inside the house.
"Brother Jin, you didn't sleep either?" Li Yuhan's eyes flickered as he saw the wine pot, teapot, and a scattered cup on the table.
"Amateurs trying to do professionals' work ended up making fools of themselves," Jin Banhua laughed. "Such an interesting thing, of course, I had to watch the show."
Li Yuhan, puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
Chu Liuxiang asked, "Brother Li, is everything alright?"
Li Yuhan shook his head, saying he had been taking care of Liu Wumei and hadn't noticed any commotion on this side.
Then they spoke about how Jin Banhua had accidentally discovered the culprit, which prevented the villain from ambushing Chu Liuxiang. Upon returning, Jin Banhua also noticed the wine and teapot had been moved.
"I guess the poisoner is a rookie, not even noticing such obvious details!" Jin Banhua laughed heartily. "I've mixed with the famous detective Bai Yishen in the capital; compared to that, the fireflies in the night are even more obvious!"
The corners of Li Yuhan's mouth twitched again, and he was so frustrated he wished he could bang his head against the wall, but at that moment, he could only force a compliment, "Brother Jin, your attention to detail is hair-fine, I'm impressed."
"Ha ha, I know a lot more!" Jin Banhua said smugly.
"What else do you know?" Li Yuhan asked.
"I also know that the culprit discarded the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail, indicating they aren't short of money!" Jin Banhua said with a decisive tone.
Li Yuhan's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
Jin Banhua stroked his chin, "Not short of money, inexperienced in the world, sigh, how similar to me it sounds..."
Hu Tiefhua laughed heartily, "If you hadn't been with us then, I would have suspected you were the culprit!"
Li Yuhan took a deep breath and immediately changed the subject, "Regardless, the fact that you managed to escape from the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail is impressive."
Thus, they began discussing the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail, recounting the history of this deadly weapon.
In the end, they concluded that whoever obtained the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail would carefully hide this secret, not daring to expose it.
Li Yuhan speculated that since the weapon was designed to draw blood upon use and and such no o bad, and the wielded the more ominous to expose.. To avoid being exposed, the was too discarded to avoid the, and chance of exposure, the culprit had discarded it to avoid being exposed.
As the sky brightened, Liu Wumei also woke up, and they continued on their journey.
...
"Did you put the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail back in place?"
"It's back in Place."
"Was there any poison on it?"
"..."
"Why aren't you speaking?"
"Not speaking means I don't want to speak!"
In the carriage, Hu Tiefhua grumbled, "Granny, this culprit is truly cautious. Such a powerful weapon, and yet they still poisoned it!"
Chu Liuxiang chuckled and shook his head, then asked Jin Banhua, "Do you think they will strike again?"
Jin Banhua pointed at himself, "You're asking me again?"
Chu Liuxiang glanced at Hu Tiefhua, "Would I ask a drunkard who cares about nothing but drinking?"
Hu Tiefhua glared angrily, "Drunkard or not, the drunkard found the Plum Rain Liuhua Nail left by the culprit!"
"Right, right, right!" Chu Liuxiang could only nod, "Let him taste the flavor of his own weapon."
"Exactly!" Hu Tiefhua said smugly, "And they will definitely strike again, otherwise wouldn't they have wasted such a powerful weapon?"
"Not only will they strike, but this time they will certainly hire a professional," Jin Banhua added.
Hu Tiefhua nodded and then couldn't help but laugh, "They won't hire the Red Dot of Central Plains again, will they?"
Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "My friendship with Red Dot is well-known; how could they possibly hire him to kill me?"
Jin Banhua said matter-of-factly, "Then they will hire a fellow disciple of Red Dot to kill you."
