Chapter 50: A shameful day
September 17th was another sunny day.
After being exposed to the sun for several hours in the morning, the detectives on duty in the Qianxia Villa felt warm all over, and the wind in the mountains brought a cool feeling from time to time.
Such weather can easily make people feel sleepy. Magistrate Gao of Cangshui County is a relatively tolerant person and would not mind if these subordinates left behind take a nap.
But each of them was in high spirits, their eyes were darting around, their bodies were tense, they were pressing the knives on their waists, and there was no trace of drowsiness at all.
On the contrary, everyone can see their nervousness.
This kind of atmosphere that can give people great pressure comes from the few masters of the ladder realm in the reception hall of Qianxia Villa.
To be more precise, it originated from Huang Mingli and Mr. Liu Si.
Yesterday, less than half a day after the autumn hunt started, Huang Mingli’s favorite youngest son, Huang Qianli, turned into a corpse and was transported out by the Yamen’s detectives.
Although no one witnessed the murderer.
But the murder of Wang Gucheng's son two years ago, and a footprint on Huang Qianli's body, seemed to have pointed out the origin of the murderer.
Wang Gucheng was touching his goat's beard at that time. Instead of explaining the suspicious looks of others, he showed a clear smile. He even asked people in other courtyards to bring wine and food, and started to eat and drink on the spot. A meal.
Huang Mingli sat on the chair without moving. After waiting for the wine and food to be served, he suddenly stamped his foot and shattered the dishes on the table.
The two were at loggerheads, but in the end they were persuaded by Magistrate Gao and did not take any further action.
But who would have expected that this morning, the police officers would transport out the bodies of the Liu family, Liu Qifeng and others.
This time, the person with the ugliest face in the lobby became Mr. Liu Si.
Unlike the obvious clues on Huang Qianli's body, the bodies of Liu Qifeng and others had no distinctive features even with fatal injuries.
From morning to now, he has suspected almost every house, but he is not sure about them.
After all, Huang Mingli had three sons, but Mr. Liu’s biological son and grandson were both dead. The only one who was closest to him and most likely to be his successor was Liu Qifeng.
The blow suffered by Mr. Liu Si was obviously much more serious than that of Huang Mingli.
In fact, when the situation developed to this point, except for the county magistrate Gao Wenzhong, who was in charge, he could still hold back his emotions and his expression did not change.
Even Lei Dongtian clearly showed a worried expression.
Even in the tragic battle five years ago, none of the leading disciples from the major martial arts schools really died in the autumn hunt. However, less than half of the autumn hunt this time has passed. Two leading disciples died.
This far exceeded Lei Dongtian's expectations, and it also made him worry about the situation of his family.
At noon, Qianxia Courtyard still provided meals prepared by the chef, but this time, no one in the lobby was interested in tasting them.
Before all the dishes were served, Magistrate Gao waved his hand and asked those people to take away the food.
Su Tieyi left a jar of wine and took a sip from time to time.
Huang Mingli held his purple clay teapot and remained motionless while Wang Gucheng played with the jade pendant there.
It was afternoon, the sun was slightly tilting outside the lobby, and a policeman came to report in a hurry.
“The people from Fenglei Martial Arts Hall and Songhe Martial Arts Hall who participated in the hunt are back.”
The first sentence made both Lei Dongtian and Su Tieyi change their expressions.
This is only the second day. People from their two families are coming back today. Something must have happened.
The policeman himself was very panicked. Seeing the change in their expressions, he quickly sped up his speech.
"Fenglei Martial Arts School encountered a spirit and killed more than a dozen disciples. Lei Rulong was also injured. It was Lei Baishi who summoned all the remaining disciples. No one was injured in Songhe Martial Arts School."
“But…”
Before he could finish his words, two disciples from Fei Wang Martial Arts School broke into the lobby.
"Master!"
The two men knelt in front of Wang Gucheng. The attack was so fast that their knees made some cracks in the floor tiles. Kill him!"
Wang Gucheng was in a good mood and was secretly proud, but after hearing this, his expression suddenly changed.
“What?!”
The moment he stood up, the tables and chairs around him seemed to be brushed by invisible force. Before they could make even the slightest crackling sound, they turned into flying dust.
The two disciples were so overwhelmed by his anger that they fell directly to the ground.
"Hulou, my son..."
Wang Gucheng's palms trembled and hissed, "Who do you think killed him?"
" "Yes, it's the one in the wheelchair from Songhe Martial Arts School," the disciple of the Wang family shouted, "He didn't need to use the wheelchair at all. He beat Liu Qifeng to death in the valley and Huang Liuhe to death in the peach forest. Senior brother also died there. In that forest.”
When these words came out, the entire spacious hall suddenly became quiet.
The sunlight coming in from outside the hall illuminated the dust in the air.
The big red lacquered pillars shine outward and cast thick shadows inward.
The breathing of the detectives outside the hall seemed too heavy and harsh in such a quiet atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Tieyi.
The eyes of Magistrate Gao and Lei Dongtian were filled with shock.
The eyes of Huang Mingli, Wang Gucheng, and Mr. Liu were full of poisonous hatred and killing intent.
"Hehe, hehehehe..."
Su Tieyi lowered his head and let out a dull laugh in his throat. He gradually raised his head and stood up, his laughter getting louder and louder. .
"Hahahahahaha!!"
His laughter came from the resonance of his chest and was powerful.
His stature is taller than anyone present.
When he stood up completely, stretched his body, raised his arms and laughed, he was as tall as an iron tower that would never fall.
The strange thing is that in the past five years, everyone seems to have ignored his amazing physique.
Today, under the loud laughter that enveloped the entire hall, echoed throughout the entire courtyard, and created many echoes.
Everyone suddenly realized this again.
The three owners of the Huang, Wang and Liu families had also stood up at some point and stared at Su Tieyi without saying a word.
Four kinds of internal forces with different properties expanded outward from these four people and squeezed each other, making the air overwhelmed and rolling.
In the entire living room, the wind that should have been colorless and phaseless seemed to have turned into an invisible and qualitative undercurrent of water at the bottom of the river.
The flow is not fast or urgent, but it is heavier and more powerful.
All the tables and chairs floated precariously into the air in the turbulent air, two or three feet above the ground, moving slowly until they collided with each other and shattered instantly.
Magistrate Gao stared at the scene in front of him intently, and there was a slight crackling sound in his ears.
He turned around and found that the sound came from those large load-bearing pillars.
The red paint on the surface of the cylinder was squeezed by several internal forces surging back and forth, and a large number of small wrinkle-like cracks appeared.
Lei Dongtian had to stand up, stood beside Magistrate Gao, and said loudly: "Qianxia Courtyard is equal to half an official government office. Do you want to fight here and destroy this courtyard?"
Liu Dongtian The Fourth Master ignored him and made a sound like phlegm stuck in his throat: "I'll stop him, Mingli, go and kill him..."
He could not finish his words.
Because Su Tieyi had stopped laughing and turned his palms outward, as if he wanted to show what he was holding to everyone.
I saw that the fingerprints on all ten of his fingers were covered with thick purple-gold powder.
It's like deep purple jade, ground to the most delicate level, and mixed with gold powder. Even if a person's fingers are dipped when they are the driest, a lot of powder will adhere to the skin. The purple is deep and yet bright.
"Purple Thunder Gunpowder!"
Wang Gucheng's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you have been prepared."
"If Xiaoshan dies, I will kill anyone who does it."
Su Tieyi grinned, showing his big white teeth, and said, "You guys can don't want your own property or the lives of other people in your family, or you can be a little responsible and take the initiative to jump out and fight me to the death. Die together.”
Mr. Liu Si said coldly: "Who are you scaring?"
"It's you who are scaring you! If it's just you, I'll kill you and you can fight again!"
Su Tieyi was unceremonious and laughed again, "I'm not me Brother, you bunch of turtle bastards who only know how to bully honest people, do you really want to try with me?"
He stretched his arms forward, took a big step, and looked down at the three people. There was an arrogant and unrestrained smile on his face, but there seemed to be no smile at all in his eyes.
You, you three, what do you see in your eyes, hatred and anger?
Too shallow.
There is no hatred or anger in Su Tieyi's eyes at this moment. There are only five years, more than 1,800 days and nights, more than 20,000 hours of hesitation and heartache...
After being re-inspired by his nephew, he brewed an absolutely unquestionable and indestructible determination!
