The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 369 Invitation

I saw a flash of cold light, and the black horse that had raised its front hooves and was about to step down lost all strength in an instant.

A wound appeared between the black hair that was gently blown by the breeze, directly from the black horse's front legs to most of the black horse's belly.

In the next moment, the internal organs in the black horse's stomach fell directly from the ground, and all fell on Ma Ji's body, and Ma Ji's body was directly drenched into a bloody man.

And the horse also fell to the side after a short stay, and the scholar on the horse was also thrown out directly.

Ma Ji's hand that was holding the knife couldn't stop shaking, and finally stopped the trembling arm. Ma Ji slowly bent down and pulled out the long knife stuck in the horse's belly.

He reached out and touched the horse blood on his face, his face was already colorless, but anyone could feel his emotions.

Originally walking well, but turned around from the gate of hell, no one can be happy.

He raised his head and cast a glance at the black horse. The black horse was already lying on the ground without moving. He moved to a place where the scholar would not be thrown away. Looking at the scholar lying on the ground, he stretched out his legs and kicked it. The scholar did not move at all.

Ma Ji bent down, resisting the soreness in his arms, and turned the fallen scholar over. Seeing the blood on the scholar's head, Ma Ji stretched out his finger and put it under the scholar's nose, and he was not breathing.

Flicking the blood on his finger, Ma Ji felt that there was no place to vent his anger, and said secretly: "Unlucky."

But the man is dead, no matter how angry he is, he has nowhere to vent his anger. Although the scene just now was extremely thrilling, but with just a glance, he can tell that the scholar riding towards him on horseback was not intentional. The black horse is obviously Already frightened, out of control.

In line with professional ethics, Ma Ji looked at the scene and asked people to report to Jing Zhaoyin. He didn't leave with his bloody body until Jing Zhaoyin sent someone to come.

Ma Ji found a bathroom, and washed it several times before washing away the blood on his body, because it was full of blood, and he couldn't go to the big pool to wash, so he had to carry a bucket from the side, a little Wipe it, if it wasn't because he was a headhunter in the capital and still has an official status, or he would have been kicked out by the store directly.

After finally wiping his body clean, Ma Ji put on a new dress that the boy had bought for him just now. His official uniform, if he didn't go through a major treatment, obviously he couldn't wear it anymore.

Because he didn't go there himself, but according to the boy's verbal description, the clothes didn't fit very well, but he could wear them with a little effort.

After tidying up, Ma Ji walked out of the bathhouse, and the warm sunlight shone on his face, making him feel like he was reborn.

Exhaling a foul breath in his belly, Ma Ji simply moved his shoulders, feeling the slight soreness in the joints, he couldn't help sighing, although there was no serious injury, but if this arm can be restored to its original state, at least it will It takes three or four days.

Originally, he was thinking of going out of the city in the afternoon to check the situation, but after this incident happened, not to mention the time delay, even his motivation was not so strong.

After thinking about it, Ma Ji still didn't go out of the city. He was injured now. If something unexpected happened, he might not be able to deal with it. Thinking that the time was not bad, he abducted back home directly, thinking that it was just a matter of borrowing Take this time to adjust your emotions.

In a blink of an eye, it was another day. Maji rode a horse, followed by a few policemen, and walked through the city gate towards the city.

When he arrived in the city, Ma Ji gave some instructions to the people behind him, and then dispersed.He went out of the city early this morning to investigate the situation. Because his arm was injured yesterday, in order to prevent something from happening, he also specially brought a few policemen with him.

When he left the city this time, he didn't get any breakthrough clues about the matter. Except for a burnt post station he found at the beginning, a few inns and ruined temples that were also destroyed, there was still nothing else. .

He knew that he had met an opponent this time. The opponent was too vigilant and wiped away all the traces. Moreover, it has been a long time, and some original clues may have disappeared. This is even more important. The progress of aggravated case handling.

However, Ma Ji was not in a hurry. After so many years of handling cases, he firmly believed that traces must be left if they existed. He hasn't found it now, but it doesn't mean he won't find it in the future.It's just not the right time.

After agreeing with his subordinates on the time and place to go out in the afternoon, Ma Ji was going to have some food first, and then take a short rest to refresh himself.

However, he had just walked home, and before he opened the door to enter, he saw a literati in a toga walking towards him.

Standing still at an arm's length away from him, he bowed his hands and saluted him. Although Ma Ji didn't know this person, he naturally bowed his hands back when the other party saluted him.

Arching his hands slightly, Ma Ji said softly: "Mr., where did you come from? But you need to ask me, Mr. Ma?"

"Hehe, please excuse me for interrupting me. My surname is Cheng Mingping, who is currently serving in the eldest grandson's courtyard."

"It turned out to be Mr. Cheng. In the past, I heard that there was a strange person in the Changsun Mansion. In just one year, he not only took care of all kinds of chores in the Changsun Mansion, but also doubled the daily income of the store under the Changsun Mansion. I don’t know. But sir?"

"It's such a cheap name, but unexpectedly it got to the head catcher's ears. I'm really ashamed." Cheng Ping said with a light smile.

"Sir, please come in. I didn't know that my husband was coming, and I didn't tidy it up. It looks messy. Please don't see outside." Ma Ji pushed the door open, and while introducing Cheng Ping into the room, he smiled at Cheng Ping. explained.

The two sat down, briefly said a few words on the occasion, and drank a cup of hot tea. At this time, Cheng Ping told Ma Ji the purpose of coming this time.

"Ma Tutou, I wonder if you have anything else to do at noon today? If you have nothing else to do, I hope Ma Putou will appreciate you, and follow me to Changsun's mansion. My general has already set up a banquet in the mansion, and I hope Butou can come."

Ma Ji hesitated for a moment, and asked, "But is there anything that needs Ma's help?"

"Nothing else, just simply want to get to know Ma Tutou."

"This afternoon, I have to go out with my subordinates to investigate the information of a case. I can't delay. Or, another day, I will have a banquet for General Changsun and Mr. Cheng in Shopkeeper Shen's restaurant?"

Cheng Ping looked at Ma Ji, and smiled softly: "What did Ma Tutou say? It seems that the Changsun's house can't afford a meal. We want to get acquainted with Ma Tutou, so how can we let Ma Tutou?" It's a waste of money."
