Chapter 215 The Aristocratic Family
The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight fell on Xie Yuan, casting a long and slanting shadow on the field ridge.
Xie Yuan looked at the surprised old man holding a stick across from him and snorted coldly:
"Robbing the population, oppressing the people, causing innocent people to die tragically, and causing countless families to be destroyed! Such a heinous crime, everyone Get it and kill it!”
The old man had a funny look on his face after hearing this:
"Just for this reason, how dare you come to provoke us? Naive!"
"For this reason! There are always people in the world who can't stand you doing evil, no matter what your background is."
Xie Yuan Seriously.
When he was in Yunzhao, he deeply realized how much harm the local officials and the martial arts gangs would cause to the local area. How many civilian businesses had long been forcibly annexed and occupied by the Jingangmen; and Yunzhao's The situation is far from as corrupt as Wuhe, at least there are checks and balances from the county magistrate and Longteng Escort Bureau.
Now, Wuhe is covered by a black hand from top to bottom. If it wants to plunder the population, it will plunder the population. If it wants to set fire to them, it will set fire to them. The local people have no way to appeal, so they just accept it.
What's more, Xie Yuan would never be able to bear witness to such evils as human trafficking and abduction of women and children. How many originally happy families have been ruined because of this!
This place has become a big climate, and Xie Yuan can't bear it. No matter how many aristocratic families are behind him, he still has to take care of it today.
Anyway, he is already a wanted criminal. If he has offended the government, he is not afraid of offending another aristocratic family. The worst he can do is go back to Zhangshan and return to Jianzong to hide.
Since he punished rape and eliminated evil, I expected that Li Xingtuo would never refuse to take him in because of this, but would actually praise him.
Xie Yuan now has a backer, and besides, the partner beside him is not afraid of the aristocratic family, and it can be said that he is the girl who is least afraid of the aristocratic family.
He pointed at the old man and shouted coldly:
"Are you that Mr. Qian? You hide your head and show your tail, and you don't dare to tell yourself your family background. You just say which family you belong to, openly or secretly?
"Jinling Yao, Or Yongyang money? The thousand-year-old family is so shameless now! "
The old man looked gloomy and said slowly:
"You know so much, you shouldn't be reckless. Things here are very critical. If you mess up, I'm afraid no matter which family you are from, you will have to pay the price. ”
Xie Yuan sneered:
“It’s cloudy and foggy, there’s so much nonsense. That’s all, wait until I catch you, and then I’ll ask you to find out what you’re going to do!”
With a flick of his sword, it turned into a white light, like a thick cloud, covering the old man.
Almost at the same time, Situ Qin plucked the strings from behind, and his invisible energy came first and hit Mr. Qian.
The old man looked solemn and raised the iron rod.
He seemed to have tremendous strength in his hands, and his movements were extremely laborious. He stirred up strong winds in the flat areas, blocking Situ Qin's arrows and blowing away Xie Yuan's clouds and mist.
Xie Yuan looked solemn, seeing that Mr. Qian seemed to be using a special move. The golden bell was fully activated, and it was like a golden bell turned upside down around him, completely protecting it.
The old man raised the iron rod above his head, and the blood energy all over his body was wrapped around like a whirlwind, causing ripples everywhere, but it never broke, completely resisting Situ Qin's continuous sonic attack.
His momentum reached its limit, he shouted loudly, and suddenly smashed the iron bar down, as if the force of a mountain was pressing down on him!
Xie Yuan felt that this stick was unavoidable, and with a serious look on his face, the long sword in his hand shortened and widened instantly, turning into a large axe. Holding it with both hands, he shouted, went upstream, and slashed A black halo appeared, and he attacked bravely!
The iron rod carrying the strong wind and the big ax shining with black light were connected together, and then there was no earth-shattering movement, but they swung away far away.
Xie Yuan was surprised, but saw that the majestic Mr. Qian took advantage of the situation to retreat suddenly, increased his speed instantly, and escaped back to the manor!
This seemingly unstoppable blow was actually just a feint to retreat?
Xie Yuan secretly scolded the old thief for being cunning. He had never seen anyone so aggressive just to escape. As soon as he raised his leg, Yunlong Bu Shi spread out and chased after him fiercely.
Situ Qin waved his hands continuously, and the strings of the piano moved rapidly, shooting out invisible air arrows one after another, hitting Mr. Qian.
However, the energy generated by Mr. Qian's stick was all wrapped around his body, and not a trace of it penetrated into the iron rod, becoming a defense with no dead ends like a golden bell.
Who would have thought that this was actually a move used to protect oneself and retreat?
Situ Qin frowned, put away the piano, and followed Xie Yuan not far behind, also chasing towards the manor.
The two of them followed Mr. Qian one behind the other. Although they gradually closed the distance, he suddenly took advantage of the opportunity to escape and escaped far away in a breath. Before the two could catch up, he Entered the manor.
The manor door then slammed shut tightly.
Seeing this, Xie Yuan didn't stop, stepped on the steps at the door, jumped up high, with golden light shining all over his body, and climbed over the wall directly.
"咻咻咻咻——"
Xie Yuan just showed his figure on the wall, and there was a strong rain of arrows coming from below!
Xie Yuan's expression moved slightly. These sharp arrows were aimed with high accuracy and full of force. They were all shot from a heavy bow, blocking his surroundings and forward path, making it impossible for him to escape.
Obviously the following team of bow-wielding guards is no weaker than the elite in the army! This rain of arrows can directly kill an ordinary expert.
But Xie Yuan is not afraid.
It was difficult to avoid the rain of arrows, but he was not prepared to dodge at all. The golden light around him shone brightly, blocking all the long arrows outside the golden bell, making a tinkling echo.
Xie Yuan landed firmly among the archers, and the ever-changing mysterious weapon in his hand turned into a moon-slashing axe, and he swung it around in a full circle.
Suddenly, there were screams all around, broken limbs were flying everywhere, and most of the archers were killed and wounded in an instant, leaving an open space.
Zhan Yue is fierce and evil, just suitable for group battles!
Xie Yuan saw Mr. Qian walking through the corridor in front and was far away. His eyes focused and he rushed straight away. Behind him, Situ Qin stood lightly on the eaves of the wall. He paused, turned slightly sideways, raised his bare hands, and took off the clothes. A sharp arrow was thrown back without even looking.
There was a hiss, a muffled groan came from the corner, and there was no more movement.
She looked condescendingly at Xie Yuan's pursuit of Mr. Qian, and silently jumped across the rooftops to follow him.
The footwork she used at this time was not like the Yunlong Step, but it was equally clever, quick, flexible, light, and extremely elegant. She was floating among the roofs of different heights, as if walking on the flat ground, chasing the two closely. people.
Situ Qin watched the six routes and saw a guard team trying to intercept Xie Yuan and blocking his way. He simply stood on a high place in the middle of the manor, took out his guqin and played the sound of killing.
Therefore, all the guards who wanted to get close to Xie Yuan were shaken all over, their eyes were red and their ears were ringing. It was useless to cover their ears. Then they fell to the ground one by one, rolling on the ground, losing their fighting power.
Seeing that all the obstacles blocking the road were subdued by Situ Qin, Xie Yuan cheered up, exhaled loudly, accelerated again, and chased after Mr. Qian's back.
Seeing that Manzhuang’s guards could not stop Xie Yuan and the other two, the old man’s eyes widened angrily, and he suddenly hit back with his stick as he walked quickly:
“That’s too much!”
The stick came out of the blue, so swiftly and fiercely that it directly broke the beams and columns of the corridor. The corridor suddenly tilted down and pressed against Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan saw the iron rod and the roof of the corridor coming together. He dodged to the side and walked out of the corridor. He saw the old man jumping out again, raising the stick over the roof with both hands and striking at him with the force of a mountain!
Xie Yuan did not intend to fight head-on with the old man, so he ducked again to avoid the stick, and then the ax in his hand turned into a long sword, dancing like a cloud covering the fog and a divine dragon hiding, covering the old man's whole body.
Mr. Qian was caught in the Nine Cloud Dragon Styles. For a moment, everything he saw was white. A powerful cold light passed through the clouds. He didn’t know when he would peek his head, but he didn’t let it out. He was going around but not attacking, turning left and right, seeing the beginning but not the end, which gave him extremely heavy pressure.
His opponent is clearly far higher in cultivation than the one who has just broken through in the late stage of the Second Transformation of Qi and Blood. However, under this sword attack, it is completely useless. The majestic blood and energy cannot help Xie Yuan at all. You can only go on the defensive.
The old man's iron rod managed to withstand several attempts from Yunlong's claws. Feeling the unmatched power, his arms were slightly numb, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted:
"Yunlong Nine Styles! You are Yunlong Nine Styles...how is that possible!"
Xie Yuan did not answer, but the sword light in his hand turned again, preparing to capture Mr. Qian as soon as possible.
The old man's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Yunlong Nine Styles is the master-level swordsmanship of the Yunshan Sword Sect. It is famous, unpredictable, and extremely powerful, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of the sword moves of the person in front of him.
However, he had obviously just broken through the Second Transformation Realm. How could he master this master swordsmanship and practice it so proficiently that he had no power to fight back?
People from the Yunshan Sword Sect noticed something was wrong here and came to investigate? But this kid never revealed his identity...
The old man was shocked and doubtful, but he gradually retreated under Xie Yuan's Ruchao offensive, with his back pressed against the wall.
This manor is vast, but its internal structure is vertical and horizontal, with clear lines. It is like a prison, heavily guarded and full of guards.
But Situ Qin was stationed at a high place, suppressing the whole village, and was not afraid that his target would be conspicuous.
After fighting for so long, there was no help around the old man, so he knew that no one here would come to save him.
After thinking about this, his expression gradually became serious.
If you fall into the hands of the opponent, you will not survive. If you say something you shouldn't say, the end will only be worse.
The old man's face gradually became miserable, and suddenly he let out a long laugh, and the iron rod protruded like a strange peak, emerging from the clouds created by Xie Yuan's sword light:
"The Nine Styles of Yunlong are famous far and wide, and I was able to learn them before I died. Fortunately! "
Xie Yuan saw that the old man was not caring about his own safety and was attacking him with a killing move. Even though he had a golden bell to protect his body, he didn't want to take it forcefully.
He Yunlong made a mistake in his step and ducked slightly. The sword in his hand did not stop, but he continued to suppress the old man, leaving a shallow wound on his chest and a streak of blood.
The old man managed to get away and was only slightly injured.
If he were an inch slower, he would be disemboweled.
However, he had a brush with death, and he was not afraid at all. He swung the iron rod again and hit it hard!
Xie Yuan jumped to the side to avoid the stick. A big hole was instantly created on the ground where he was standing, with gravel flying and dust flying.
While Mr. Qian could not withdraw his iron rod, he suddenly drew his sword in the air, like a divine dragon probing its claws, and stabbed the old man's chest and abdomen from a high position!
The old man tried his best to block with the tail of his stick, but was unable to resist and was hit by the sword in the abdomen.
Xie Yuan's long sword was withdrawn as soon as he touched it, leaving a bloody hole. He stood opposite the old man and said:
"If you don't surrender yet, when will you wait?"
The old man Holding his stomach, blood seeped out between his fingers, he smiled lightly and said:
"Your skills are varied, your swordsmanship is sharp, and your weapons are mysterious. I am ashamed of myself."
Xie Yuan looked slightly relaxed and nodded:
"Okay, then you..."
"But it is absolutely impossible for me to surrender!"
The old man's hand With a shake, the iron rod suddenly lifted up like a poisonous snake and stabbed Xie Yuan!
Xie Yuan's brows narrowed, and he slashed down his sword in an instant, and struck hard with the iron rod, his arm was shaken!
Two invisible energy attacks came, one and Xie Yuan worked together to press down the iron rod, and the other stabbed directly into the old man's chest.
The old man's chest suddenly burst open, and blood spurted out wildly; his eyes widened with anger, and he wanted to swing the iron rod, but he could no longer exert the strength, so he had to hold the weapon, and blood gushed out from his lips, as if he wanted to He said something, but in the end he slowly lowered his head and lost his breath.
Although the old man's body was thin and short, he still stood upright after his death, his momentum soaring to the sky.
Situ Qin fell next to Xie Yuan and whispered:
“I was anxious for the moment...”
Xie Yuan shook his head:
“This opponent is very powerful. Is this Mr. Qian from the Qian family in Yongyang?”
Situ Qin frowned slightly:
“It’s hard to say. , but it’s not like Qian’s style to prefer death to surrender..."
Xie Yuan couldn’t help but smile a little despite his heavy heart when he heard her comments.
Situ Qin once said that the Qian family from Yongyang was the fastest runner in trouble.
The old man would rather die than surrender. In the end, he even tried his best to die, as if he wanted to die, which made both of them a little confused and at the same time felt heavy in their hearts.
How big of a secret is it that makes him willing to die without revealing a word?
Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:
“The manor is here, you have to go and see it yourself.”
Situ Qin nodded, and the two of them searched the manor like a whirlwind.
However, as early as when the two were fighting with Mr. Qian, the huge manor was on fire and in chaos. It seemed that there were guards who wanted to destroy the evidence.
In addition to the manor guards, there are also many servants and handymen here, running around screaming at this time. Cries for help rang out in many rooms. Xie Yuan opened the iron locks one by one, and many young women and even children escaped from inside. All of them had beautiful features, red lips and white teeth.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin looked solemn as they organized the captured victims to run out of the manor. Ruohai and the guards who dared to stop them all were not enemies of the two of them. Gradually, the road ahead became smoother. , no one dares to block the way.
After everyone was taken out of the manor, Xie Yuan went in to search and found no one else. He also didn’t see any of the accounts, rosters, etc. that he should have. He might have been burned long ago. .
He frowned slightly and went outside the village again, where he saw Situ Qin gathering the women and children together and asking them in detail.
These people were in shock, and when they saw that they had escaped, they burst into tears. Xie Yuan counted roughly and found that there were no less than a hundred people!
How can one Wuhe County lose so many people?
Xie Yuan’s eyebrows gathered together, and Situ Qin came over and whispered:
“I asked a few people here, not only the locals in Wuhe, but also people from all over Yunzhou and Yanzhou, and even There are them all outside the customs!”
Xie Yuan has already seen that there are several beautiful and colorful people inside. At first glance, they are beauties from the Western Regions.
He looked one by one and found that there were all kinds of women here, most of them were pretty and lovely, a few of them could be called beauties, and a few of them had similar faces and seemed to be from the same mother. compatriots.
As for the children, most of them look smart and smart. Some of them have tattoos on their foreheads, and some of them don’t.
This scene is like a human trafficking market, with all kinds of "goods" available, all of which are of the highest quality, making both Xie Yuan and Situ Qin's faces sink.
The movement and fire in the manor had long attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, and the large number of women and children who ran out made the local villagers of Wuhe think of something. They screamed and rushed to tell each other. The news gradually spread the word.
So in a short time, many people from the county town hurriedly rushed to the manor, got in front of these women and children, and looked for them one by one with eyes full of hope.
It's a pity that the families of these people have been lost for a long time. They are no longer here and may never be found again.
There are hundreds of people talking about more or less, and it will take a while to see them all to know whether their family members are there.
But they looked at it over and over again, as if they didn't want to give up. It wasn't until they repeatedly confirmed that their wives, daughters and children were not here that the light in their eyes dimmed bit by bit.
Suddenly, someone screamed:
"Lian'er!"
Then the old couple hugged a young girl, very excited. This was the Wuhe resident who had recently lost his daughter. At this time, the family was reunited, and the three of them gathered together, ecstatic.
“Tiger baby!”
“Cuicui!”
Another two families have found their daughters and children, and the Wuhe locals who have not been transferred away are victims. The person immediately found his relatives.
The remainder of the life after the disaster was a mixture of sadness and joy, crying and laughing. The victims, whose loved ones were lost or far away from home, had mixed feelings, empathized with each other, and cried silently, but they did not know where their relatives were.
"Girl, you were also abducted? Where are you from? If you don't have a place to go, stay at your aunt's house first. I see that you and my daughter really look alike... I will help you get home."
There are also people in Wuhe who can't find their relatives. They are very loving to other victims who were abducted here and are ready to do their best to help.
They may not be a loving or wealthy family, but they just hope that by doing this, one day their children will be treated well outside the home.
Among the crowd, an old beggar with gray hair and dirty body was pulling the women to look at them one by one, and kept chanting:
"Yu'er, Yu'er, where are you?"
The women were frightened, and when they saw the old beggar approaching, they all backed away.
But hearing his miserable and anxious screams made all the abducted women feel sad. Many of them wondered if their fathers had become like he is now? They all patiently let the old beggar take a closer look, but he kept shaking his head and saying that he didn't know that Yu'er. Many women even sobbed as they watched the old beggar rise to hope and then walk away disappointed.
Fan Xiucai looked at it again and again until he was sure that his daughter was not here. His face was pale and he said nothing.
Looking at the reunited families, he felt inexplicably jealous and resentful in his heart, but he immediately suppressed this thought and just murmured:
"It's good to get it back, it's good to get it back..."
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin were interrogating the captured guards. They heard the noise over there, sad and laughing, crying with joy, sitting on the ground and crying.
They turned around and saw several families over there that were happy and a few sad, which is the sign of all living beings.
"Which company is behind you?"
Xie Yuan asked, carrying a guard.
"I, I don't know."
The guard was terrified.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin looked at each other, both frowning.
These guards are very capable, but after asking a few, no one knew who they were serving.
Many of them were recruited from other places, brought here, and managed in a closed manner. They only obeyed the orders of a few leaders and did not know much.
Xie Yuan asked again:
"Did Mr. Qian tell you where he came from? But he was lying, and his end would be the same as the others just now."
The guard looked at the man lying next to him. Several companions on the ground swallowed and whispered:
"Mr. Qian has a high status and is very mysterious. We rarely see him, let alone talk to him."
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin frowned, feeling something was wrong.
When we just chased Mr. Qian, he directed the guards all the way and named him by name, which was obviously inconsistent with what this man said!
Xie Yuan frowned and said:
"Rarely seen? Almost no communication? Just now I saw that he was very skillful in mobilizing you, obviously he practiced often. You still want to lie to others, are you not afraid of death? "
The guard was stunned and said:
"Just now..."
Xie Yuan had a strange feeling in his heart:
“Didn’t you see it when I just killed him?”
“The person who just...just faced you was Mr. Liu, Not Mr. Qian.”
Mr. Liu?
Not Mr. Qian?
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin were stunned for a moment, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly.
They had preconceptions, but Mr. Liu was noncommittal and actually recognized the wrong person!
After the powerful Mr. Liu, there are still experts?
The two men tightened their vests, stood up suddenly, and looked around, but found nothing.
The victims were still noisy, the guards were still dejected, and nothing seemed to have changed.
However, suddenly, both of them turned their heads at the same time and stared at the guards in front of them.
The guard's face turned red and he opened his mouth to inhale, but he only made a sound. His face became increasingly ugly, and he held his neck with his hands, but it seemed that he couldn't breathe no matter what.
Two streams of black blood suddenly flowed from the guard's nose, and he slowly fell to the ground. Then dirty blood flowed from all his orifices, and after twisting twice, he died.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin instantly took two steps back, frowning.
“What a powerful poison!”
Situ Qin's face was tense. This guard was just the beginning. The guards, servants, and servants around him all showed the same symptoms one after another. They were all unable to breathe and bleeding from their seven orifices. It only took a few breaths from the poison to death.
The two of them looked ugly. They were a little upset when they saw that all the prisoners around them were dead and there were no more survivors left to interrogate.
“Ah!”
A exclamation sounded from behind, and both of them turned their heads at the same time, their expressions changing.
This poison is not limited to these guards.
The abducted women and children over there also turned black and blue one after another, with blood oozing from their orifices. They all grabbed their throats and necks, but in vain.
They struggled for a while, then fell to the ground one after another, like puppets without strings.
"No! No!"
"Lian'er!"
"Tiger baby, tiger baby! Don't scare daddy!"
Family members who finally found their loved ones fell from the sky to the ground in an instant. They saw their loved ones lying in their arms in agony, with dark faces and bleeding from their orifices. He He made no sound and could only hold their hands in vain and cry over and over again.
However, no matter how tight they held their hands and how deep the red marks were on their hands, they could no longer keep their children.
Obviously they had just reunited after a long separation, but now they were completely separated from each other, still in such a painful way.
The field ridge where the survivors were left suddenly turned into a purgatory on earth.
The other people dispersed in horror, looking at this scene with fear and fear, and they didn't know what it was like.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin's eyes widened, their fists clenched, and rage rising from their chests. However, this poison was so overbearing that Situ Qin could see that it had been implanted in these people's bodies a long time ago. Once it attacks, they will die immediately, and they will be too late to save them even if they want to.
She asked in a trembling voice:
"If you want to kill me, you can do it in the manor. You can't keep anyone, so why do you have to do it now?"
Xie Yuan's face was as dark as water and he said in a deep voice:
"This is Mr. Qian demonstrating for us..."
Obviously, Mr. Qian, who is somewhere, has already noticed everything.
In this way, the subtext is not without mocking Xie Yuan that everything the two of them did was in vain, and that everything was under his control and life and death were determined by his heart.
Just for the sake of demonstration, you have to give people hope, and then destroy it... Looking at the Wuhe residents who ignored the poison, hugged the bodies of their family members and cried heartbrokenly, I felt like this, I'm afraid it can drive people crazy.
It is a demonstration and also Mr. Qian’s bad taste.
Is this the true style of aristocratic families?
In their eyes, the common people may not even be considered human beings.
Xie Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, turned his head sharply, and looked around, trying to find traces of Mr. Qian. However, in addition to the common people, the only people standing around were the tragic corpses of those who died of poisonous poison. Gain nothing.
Maybe I don’t know where I am anymore.
Xie Yuan quickly circled around the field and found the middle-aged man whose arms had been cut off. Unsurprisingly, he saw that his eyes were wide open, his whole body was stiff, and he was dead.
He returned to Situ Qin, with a gloomy face, and slowly put away the Xuan Bing, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.
No!
The guard they had just interrogated was the first to die of the poison, and then the others fell ill almost at the same time.
In other words, it is very likely that Mr. Qian did not want the guard to say any more, so he triggered the poison!
Then he must be somewhere close enough to hear the conversation!
Maybe this kind of person likes to slowly appreciate the scene...
Xie Yuan turned his head slightly, looked at each other with Situ Qin, his eyes moved, and he glanced at the corpse of the guard in front of him.
Situ Qin was so angry that his face turned pale. Seeing Xie Yuan's subtle expression, he was startled for a moment. He immediately understood what he meant, slowly backed away, and took out the Qin.
Xie Yuan looked at the corpses of guards and handymen in front of him and thought silently:
"If Mr. Qian is extremely powerful, he should directly join forces with Mr. Chen and others to stop us. It's impossible. He easily gave up on this long-running population transfer place that spanned several states. He hid in the dark, which made Mr. Chen desperately want to die. He didn't show up when we destroyed the place, which shows that his strength will not exceed much..."
Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes, pulled out his long sword, and transformed directly into a giant axe, and his momentum gradually increased.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became subtle and quiet.
After a few breaths, a handyman with a face covered in blood suddenly climbed up from the pile of corpses. He rushed out instantly and turned into a faint shadow.
Xie Yuan's half-charged ax was slashed out directly, and a miniature semicircular ax beam chased the man's back; at the same time, Situ Qin's slender hand pressed heavily, and a long-awaited burst of Qin Jin came out in anger, and in an instant Time to catch up with that shadow!
The shadow was hit by two attacks, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out from its body, as if something was broken.
Then he staggered and accelerated again, and in the blink of an eye there was only a small silhouette left.
So fast?
Xie Yuan's eyes opened, his breath filled his feet, and he shouted:
"Chase!"
Situ Qin was no slower than him, already carrying the guqin on his back, he rushed forward Go out and say hurriedly:
"It's Yongyang Qian! This Qingfeng Step is their family's secret skill, and the speed of escape is amazing!"
The two Yun Longbu used all their strength to catch up, and were far away in the blink of an eye.
The common people and farmers on the spot watched blankly as several people turned into black spots and disappeared. They didn’t know what happened from beginning to end.
Fan Xiucai glanced at it and seemed to think that the figure was somewhat familiar, but his eyes were dim and he had no power, so he could not see clearly, so he had to scan the corpses on the ground again. Seeing the victims he had just seen one by one, his life, which was still alive, was shattered, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
He was resentful and regretful that his daughter was not here, but now he was suddenly glad that she was not here.
But then, Fan Xiucai's face slowly turned pale again. Looking at the corpses here, without saying a word, he returned to Wuhe County in despair.
He walked to the wine shop not far from the city gate, sat in, and heard many people talking about things outside the city. News always spreads quickly, and everyone in the city knows it.
Fan Xiucai tremblingly took out the few broken pieces of silver from his chest, which were the ones given to him by Xie Yuan.
"Servant, please bring me a pot of wine and a plate of beef."
Fan Xiucai went from house to house looking for his daughter more than once, and he had already become famous in the city. The waiter recognized him who was absent-minded and was impatient, but when he saw that he was rich, he changed his smile and started serving wine and meat.
Fan Xiucai drank wine and ate meat for a long time, and his body gradually gained strength, but his heart was still cold.
He gained a foothold in walking. He left the wine shop and quickened his pace. He walked to the gate of the county government office, took a deep breath, and played the Dengwen drum.
“Dong——dong——dong——”
Fan Xiucai used the greatest strength in his life, as if he wanted to break the drum.
The yamen servant came up to stop him, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to subdue the frail old beggar and escort him to the hall.
Yao Zhizhang hurriedly put on his official hat and sat on the high chair, his face uncertain.
He had already received the news and was very worried, but at this time, someone else came to play the drum?
Yao Zhizhang had a sullen face, preparing that if the civilian below him couldn't speak one, two, three, he would be locked up for two days to wake him up.
When he saw the gray hair and thin face, he was startled, frowned and said:
"Brother Fan, why is it you? I am busy, you want money... ”
"Yao Zhizhang, when will I ask for your money?"
Fan Xiucai looked up at the county magistrate under the plaque "Serve the public for the people" and scolded:
"Yao Zhizhang, you He swore to me that the prostitutes were all convicts from Yanzhou. How come those people were only five miles outside the city? As a county magistrate, you can’t even see it!”
When Yao Zhizhang heard that he came for this, he looked ugly and frowned, and said slowly:
I only just found out about this and are investigating thoroughly, please be patient..."
"I just found out! As a parent official, you just found out that there is such a cancer in the local area! Unfortunately, I thought you were capable, clean and honest, but you couldn't control it right under your eyes! How many people have been harmed! Just now! More than a hundred people died, the apple of more than a hundred families’ eyes!”
Fan Xiucai’s beard trembled with anger.
Yao Zhizhang suppressed his temper:
"I said, I am investigating..."
"You are investigating! You have been in Wuhe for so many years, The boat gang is becoming more and more powerful. Ordinary Life for boat people and fishermen is getting harder and harder, and more and more people are losing their children! It’s useless for me to speak for you and think about you. It’s not easy for you to be an official from another place and balance the local gentry. Look at what you have done. ! ”
Fan Xiucai opened his beard and shouted:
"I ask you, they all said that you took Meng Hesheng's money, is it true? Is it true that you and the boat gang teamed up to traffic in humans!"< br>
Yao Zhizhang's face was as dark as water. He looked at Fan Xiucai, who was spitting, with a cold look in his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing his appearance, Fan Xiucai understood everything and said with grief and anger:
“Yao Zhizhang, you were very high-spirited in the academy, united your classmates, and said that you would be a citizen for the people in the future. Dear officer, look what you look like now!”
Yao Zhizhang finally couldn't bear it any longer and stood up, shouting:
"You think I'm... an idiot! Naive! Idiot!"
He pointed at Fan Xiucai angrily and said:
"Roar the court, beat me! Twenty, no, fifty!"
The officials on the left and right dragged Fan Xiucai down and began to execute the cane punishment. How many blows could the frail Fan Xiucai endure? Before he could reach ten sticks, he tilted his head and died.
However, until his death, he kept his eyes wide open and angrily rebuked Yao Zhizhang without saying a word to beg for mercy.
"Lord County Magistrate, he..."
A government official whispered to Yao Zhizhang, cupping his hands.
Yao Zhizhang walked quickly to the court, looked at Fan Xiucai who was still dead, gritted his teeth, and growled:
"Untouchable! Carry it away, carry it away!"
He waved his hand impatiently, took a few deep breaths, finally calmed down, and then called a master:
"Ship Gang, are you done with it?"
"It has been arranged. It's all over..."
The master made a gesture of wiping his neck, which made Yao Zhizhang look a little calmer and nodded.
He was pacing in the office, shaking his head and saying:
"I don't know what these two people are, forget it, everything should be wiped clean."
Yao Zhizhang returned to the study, counted out all the suspicious documents, and directly set them on fire, burning them clean. .
The firelight reflected on his face, making it appear bright and dark.
……
“I lost track...”
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin stopped in front of a mountain road. They had chased for dozens of miles. However, they did not close the distance between them and Mr. Qian. Instead, they got farther and farther away, and he escaped into the mountains.
Xie Yuan fought with fists and palms, feeling very annoyed:
“It’s my fault that I don’t have enough strength, otherwise I shouldn’t have lost you!”
He fought repeatedly, rushing in front, many times The first time he used the Nine Movements of Yunlong and even swept thousands of troops, the consumption was not small. After running for dozens of miles, he was somewhat unable to follow up.
Xie Yuanben had just broken through to the second transformation state, and although Mr. Qian had not fought against him, his strength should still be higher than that of Mr. Liu. If not the third transformation state, he was definitely very close to the level of the third transformation state. He was not prepared to fight with the two of them. As he was focused on escaping, neither Situ Qin nor he could catch up.
Situ Qin shook his head:
"I don't blame you. The Qian family's Qingfeng Step has been passed down since ancient times. It is a unique skill that makes people light up. It is definitely not inferior to Yunlong Step. If you hadn't discovered it astutely, I'm afraid he would have gotten mixed up in it. I don’t know what will happen next.”
Xie Yuan sighed and asked:
“Can you recognize who that person is from the Qian family?”
“I can’t tell... There are many experts in the Qian family. There are too many masters of second and third realm changes.”
Situ Qin said helplessly.
Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"The Qian family... took note of it. That's all, let's go back to Wuhe first."
Since the two of them If you catch up, you should go back first.
The clues here are lost. There is also Yao Zhizhang in the county. Mr. Qian has already escaped from here, so it is impossible to kill him before the two of them.
The two of them rushed all the way back to Wuhe and went directly to the side gate of the county government office. As they were about to enter, they suddenly saw several government servants sneaking out carrying a body and placing it on a cart at the side gate.
Xie Yuan took a look, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his figure appeared directly. He ducked to the side of the cart and took a closer look, and found that it was Fan Xiucai whom he had met before!
He was shocked and angry. He picked up a government servant by the lapel and shouted:
"What's going on? How could he die in the county government office?"
"You , who are you..."
"Say it quickly!"
"Well, Fan Xiucai roared in court and was ordered to be beaten by the county magistrate, but he didn't even get a few blows..."
Xie Yuan stood up suddenly and held his hand tightly. Holding his fists, his face was tense.
It was really dark in Wuhe today.
He dodged and suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving several government officials looking at each other in shock.
There were those who were quick to respond and rushed into the Yamen as soon as their expressions changed, but there were also those who were quick to respond with a flash of expression on their faces and slowly pushed the cart and walked out.
In the study, Yao Zhizhang was confirming with his close aides what matters had not been dealt with, and repeatedly confirmed:
"Those passengers at the inn have all been dealt with in the boat gang, right? ?”
“Everyone sank, not a single one was missing.”
Master’s vagina.
Yao Zhizhang nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something else when he suddenly saw his master's eyes bulge, a sword tip emerging from his chest, and he fell to the ground, revealing Xie Yuan behind him.
He was shocked, took a step back, and shouted:
"Where did the murderer come from, and what do you want!"
"...You just said, those travelers are still Was he harmed by you? "
Xie Yuan was in his true form at this time, looking at Yao Zhizhang and said repressedly.
Yao Zhizhang looked at him carefully and said uncertainly:
"Are you Shi Yuan from the Gongdao Sect...? You actually dare to come back!"
"Why don't you dare? That's right. Come back and take the life of this bitch like you.”
Xie Yuan’s face was solemn, and he and Situ Qin were blocking the way out of the study.
Yao Zhizhang’s expression changed and his tone slowed down:
"Young man, if you have something to say, you don't want to do this."
"Bah! Go down and tell the people you have harmed!"
Xie Yuan thought of those things The innocent traveler who had finally been rescued from the sea of fire was actually sunk into the river again, feeling a tightness in his chest.
Do you blame yourself for not saving people thoroughly? But there are still so many people in the farm. If we don't cut the mess quickly...
But in the end, it seems that it is all in vain and nothing can be saved.
Not even one was saved.
He pointed his long sword at Yao Zhizhang and said coldly:
"What are you doing here, doing this battle?"
Yao Zhizhang's feelings Seeing Xie Yuan's murderous intent, his face turned pale, he was silent for a moment, and said lightly:
"Only Mr. Qian knows the details and the real purpose. I am only responsible for the coordination. Didn't you ask him?"
Xie Yuan looked at Yao Zhizhang and felt that he was not telling lies, but his patience was stretched to the limit and he breathed:
"Since you are useless, then go die."
< br>“Wait!”
Seeing Xie Yuan slowly raise his sword, Yao Zhizhang was a little panicked, raised his hand to stop him and said:
“Do you know who I am? How dare you confront me? Let me do it!”
Yao Zhizhang wanted to wait for Xie Yuan to ask, but when he saw that Xie Yuan was unmoved, his sword was about to chop down in the next second, so he quickly said:
"I am a descendant of the Yao family in Jinling!"
Xie Yuan The sword paused for a moment and said faintly:
"It turns out he is still a son of the Yao family in Jinling."
Yao Zhizhang thought Xie Yuan hesitated, so he suddenly became arrogant and puffed up his chest:
"Introduce yourself -
"I am a descendant of the Yao family in Qishui, a branch of the Yao family in Jinling. My surname is Yao, my given name is Zhizhang, and my courtesy name is Shengwen.
"If you embarrass me, you are going against the Jinling Yao family! Think of the consequences!
"Young people are very popular, I can understand it. But this matter is very involved. Now that you are messing with me, I don’t have to worry about you, but you should run away for your lives. Stop wielding swords and guns here. I don’t care about you, but the big shots in my family, But not necessarily, they might already be on the way.
"You are young and have little knowledge. You think you can fight with a thousand-year-old family with your passion. I used to...ah, young people are so naive. You don't know that a surname that can last for thousands of years can survive under the water. What kind of power is hidden?
"Let's go, do you still dare to touch me? Do you dare to go against the Yao family of Jinling? Don't even look at your last name!"
He patted Xie Yuan's hand, wanting to take care of him. The sword was slapped away, but Xie Yuan just moved slightly and raised the sword, and Yao Zhizhang's hand touched the blade.
With two snaps, Yao Zhizhang broke two fingers and fell to the ground.
