The Unemployed Assassin

Once upon a time, there was an assassin who became unemployed. As his pocket grew thinner, he decided to go around and offered his services like a door-to-door salesman, “Do you have any enemy? One head is one hundred taels.” It was such a good offer, yet for some reason, no one took it until… “Do you have any enemy? One head is one…fifty taels.” “I don’t have any enemy, but I can hire you as my bodyguard.” “Assassins also have their pride.” “Fifty taels a month, food and accommodation included.” “Deal!” Ever since the assassin became unemployed, a silly short story was born.
