Early landing in the world of martial arts

"Shopping around..."

Gu Chang'an didn't get too entangled in this topic, but instead asked: "You came here just now, what were you looking at?"

Hearing these words, a mysterious look suddenly appeared on the faces of the two of them, and they couldn't help but look at each other and said: "Watching a play... What a big play!"

"Oh?"

Gu Changan was also interested.

Sitting on the table, he called the boss to serve a new pot of tea, and immediately set his eyes on the direction the two of them were looking at.

But there is an alley, the alley is facing the street, and there is a table. Behind the table is an old Taoist priest in Taoist robes, who looks like a fairy. Word of mouth.

Gu Chang'an could tell that this old Taoist priest was not a warrior, let alone a monk, and he had no energy, blood or mana.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is a young man standing in front of the stall.

He looks like he is in his 20s, with a handsome appearance and a refined temperament, like a scholar.

In fact, he is indeed a scholar, and Gu Changan felt a trace of righteousness in him—this is a pure seed of reading.

At this time, the reading seed was standing in front of the fortune teller's booth, walking back and forth, with a look of hesitation on his face.

With his appearance, a discerning person would know that he wanted to ask a fortune teller, but he still had doubts—the fortune teller had been sitting upright for a long time at this time, just waiting for this young man to take the bait.

Just waited and waited, Gu Changan drank half of a cup of tea, the fortune teller had a headache in his waist as he sat upright, and the young man didn't make up his mind.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned away.

"This……"

The fortune teller was stunned immediately, looking messy in the wind.

But Gu Chang'an couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing—he could see that this young man really had some uncertainties in his heart, but...

If it's just that simple, why would Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Xiaosi get together to watch a play here?

Although these two people are usually generous, they never slack off when it's time to practice. Now that these two people put aside their cultivation and ran here, it is obvious that there is still a follow-up to this matter.

Definitely a big show.

Sure enough, under the gaze of Gu Changan, the young man left here, walked to the street, and after about two hundred steps, he came to a house.

And just as he was about to open the door, two policemen with waist knives also came over.

"You are Yu Chunxi?"

One of the older officers asked aloud.

"I, I'm Yu Chunxi."

As the saying goes, the magistrate who destroys the family is the magistrate who destroys the family.

Although the county lord and the mansion lord hold the power of life and death, to Shengdou ordinary people, they are all great figures, and they can't get in touch with them.

But those lowly but powerful officials have a great deterrent to them.

A mere pawn can ruin an ordinary family.

Not to mention the fast-moving officials who have the ability to arrest and do their best?

This young man is just a scholar from an ordinary family. Seeing the two arresters approaching quickly, he felt nervous and stuttered. He said a little nervously, "Two, two poor masters, I don't know why you are looking for me?"

"Yu Chunxi, right?"

The older policeman was the first to speak and said: "A certain family is named Liu, and they are the team leader of the inspection department in this prefecture. Don't be nervous. I came to you this time to ask you something."

Hearing this, the young man named Yu Chunxi hurriedly saluted.

Then he kowtowed and said hopelessly: "Liu, Team Leader Liu, and this servant, it's cold outside, why don't you come and sit in the humble house, let's go in and talk?"

"You don't need to enter the house!"

Bantou Liu waved his hand and said, "Actually, I came here this time because I want to find something..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the wooden door of the courtyard was suddenly opened with a 'creak', and then a beautiful young woman came out.

Although her face is plain, she can't hide her beauty.

At this time, there was a smile on his face, and he was dragging his stomach with one hand - the belly was round, obviously she was pregnant, and the time was not short.

"Madam, why did you come out... Come in quickly, it's so cold outside, what if you freeze!"

Seeing this woman, Yu Chunxi immediately panicked and asked with concern.

"My house is fine. I was resting inside just now, and when I heard voices outside, I thought it was your husband who came back... What are these two bad guys..."

There was a questioning look in her eyes, and some ordinary people in Shengdou felt uneasy and nervous when they saw officials.

"It's okay, it's just small things."

Yu Chunxi supported his wife, then looked at the two of Bantou Liu, with a smile on his face, and said: "You two servants, if you have anything to say, just tell me, my wife has been weak since she was a child, and now she is about to give birth ..."

"The matter will be finished soon, Mr. Yu, don't worry."

Bantou Liu waved his hand, signaling to Yu Chunxi to be calm, and then said: "Actually, we are here this time, we mainly have some questions and want to ask the respected lady to answer."

"This matter...is related to a murder case!"

Liu Bantou is her husband's family. He has always been straightforward, but now he gets straight to the point.

"Murder?!"

After hearing this, Yu Chunxi's expression changed drastically.

In fact, for ordinary people, there is nothing to be afraid of when they hear a murder case.

Immediately shouted: "Liu Bantou, my wife is pregnant, how can it have anything to do with the murder... Don't talk nonsense!"

Although I was very scared in the face of the police, but thinking that my wife was actually involved in the 'murder case', I also had some courage in my heart, and said in a deep voice: "This, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Master Yu misunderstood..."

Bantou Liu said: "Liu did not say that Mrs. Zun killed him."

Yu Chunxi was a little relieved, but then he had doubts: "In this case, why did Bantou Liu come to see my wife?"

This time, Bantou Liu didn't answer Yu Chunxi's words, instead he looked at the woman's face and said in a deep voice, "Actually, we caught the real murderer the day before yesterday!"

"Ok?"

Yu Chunxi immediately showed suspicion, as if he still wanted to ask.

Not to mention Yu Chunxi, even Gu Changan, who was listening attentively to the side, was a little puzzled - although he was more than 200 meters away, he could still hear clearly with his hearing.

Naturally, he was quite curious at this time.

But at this moment, Bantou Liu waved his hand and interrupted Yu Chunxi, who wanted to ask more questions, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, let me explain this to you slowly."

"After the murderer was caught by us, we thought it was just a local ruffian. He brought him back to the Yamen for routine interrogation and planned to teach him a lesson, but who knew that this interrogation unintentionally revealed a huge murder case!"

"That was six months ago..."

……

Early summer in May.

It was already night, but suddenly there was a thunderstorm, and the wind and rain poured down.

In a village more than ten miles away from the city of Chentang County, a local hooligan encountered heavy rain on the way back to the city. In order to avoid the rain, he accidentally walked to a remote mountain temple, but saw a A woman sheltering from the rain.

This ruffian went into the temple to hide from the rain, he didn't have any other evil intentions, even if he did, he didn't have the guts to do so.

But who would have thought that while sitting in the temple sheltering from the rain, listening to the wind, rain and thunder outside, a bold idea gradually grew in the mind of the ruffian.

He couldn't remember the specific details. He only knew that when he was in a trance, he saw the woman resisting death and begging for mercy.

"Please, let me go...I still have a child, another child...don't, don't..."

The ruffian was still able to manage this at that time, he was already in a trance, he could see the woman struggling continuously, he didn't know whether it was a mistake or he was in a panic, he accidentally touched a sharp object, and randomly pointed at a certain place on the woman's body. Tie it over.

The woman screamed, blood was flowing, and at the same time she staggered and fled outside.

I don't know if it was because he saw the smell of blood or because he was afraid of the woman reporting to the police, but the ruffian simply turned his head and turned evil to the gall, but he held the sharp weapon in his hand and stabbed the woman a few times indiscriminately.

Where is the thorn, the ruffian can't tell where it is.

That night he was in a trance for some reason, and it was rainy and dark outside, so he only saw the woman lying on the ground, and through the occasional lightning, he could vaguely see that a large area of ​​the ground was soon soaked with blood.

He was finally afraid!

Desperately, he ran outside, regardless of the wind and rain.

To be honest, although he is a local ruffian, he is nothing more than stealing chickens and petting dogs on weekdays, and his extraordinary is knocking on the widow's door at night-he would not dare to kill such a big thing even if he had a hundred guts!

After running out, the hooligan ran back to his home sullenly.

The ruffian was caught in the rain that day, caught a cold, and was ill in bed for two or three days. During this period, he was always worried that someone would report to the police to arrest him, so after he recovered, he returned to the temple, intending to destroy the corpse.

But who would have thought that when he went back, he didn't see the corpse at all, only a pool of blood.

The ruffian thought the corpse had been found, so he was frightened out of his wits and ran to the mountains to hide for five months. During these days, he dreamed every day that he was taken by the ghost of the woman that day and came to claim his life. It's not good and it's not good to eat. In just a few months, it's already skinny, and in the wild, it's like a savage.

Occasionally one day, a hunter nearby saw him and thought it was a mountain spirit, so he was so frightened that he immediately reported to the officials, and the Yamen dispatched and brought him back.

……

Speaking of this, Liu Ban paused.

"and then?"

Yu Chunxi gritted his teeth and said, "What does this matter have to do with us?

It's just that others didn't notice it, but Gu Chang'an saw it clearly.

When Liu Bantou told this story, when he talked about this day six months ago, his expression was a little strange, and when he mentioned the Earth Temple, his expression changed drastically.

And when he opened his mouth to ask, he even supported his body so that he would not fall down.

And the young woman behind him turned pale.

Bloodless!

The body trembled uncontrollably, and the whole person shrank behind Yu Chunxi, looking extremely frightened.

Of course, this is also normal.

After all, the things Bantou Liu said were really unbearable for an ordinary person, especially a weak woman.

Liu Bantou ignored Yu Chunxi's questioning, and said to himself: "It's just that I'm quite curious... since this hooligan mentioned such a murder case, we haven't received any relevant information in the past six months. In the case report, there is no record in the file that there is a missing young woman during this period..."

"But this is weird!"

Liu Bantou shook his head and said: "Firstly, he didn't report to the official, and secondly, he didn't disappear, but the local ruffian insisted that he was more than ten miles away from the prefectural city...Since this is the case, and since the woman said that she doubted it, it is naturally impossible and not The ability to travel far, so it is very likely that she is a woman in our county."

"In order to clear up this doubt, I have been visiting around for the past two days, and finally found a clue..."

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes to the pregnant woman, and said in a deep voice: "Before and after the incident, there were thirteen women visiting relatives in the whole city, and only one came back as soon as the city gate opened at dawn. "

"The woman was slightly pregnant, but her face was pale, and it was quite inconvenient to walk. The soldiers stationed at the city gate saw this and wanted to help her walk, but they were refused every day! Update, new? Since I was a child, I have been talking about groups. Staying. Staying (nine! Eight? Zero two, zero, five? Eight [five six]) absolutely, so I left a deep impression."

"Seeing the woman entering the city alone, the soldier couldn't let it go, so he used the excuse of patrolling the streets behind, caring all the way, and finally saw her come here, opened the door and entered..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ban took a step forward, and his aura suddenly changed. Holding the handle of the waist knife in his hand, he said in a deep voice: "Young master, but I don't know what you two have to do with this matter." to say?"

Yu Chunxi's face immediately changed.

At this moment, the young woman subconsciously took a step back and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a wooden door to support her.

But even so, her face suddenly turned pale and blue, and then turned from blue to white, looking extremely scary.

"Madam, madam, are you okay..."

At this time, Yu Chunxi was shocked, and there was nothing else to worry about, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, while comforting her in a gentle voice.

This scene immediately caused embarrassment to appear on the faces of Bantou Liu and another police officer - after all, they only came to inquire this time, and there was no conclusive evidence, but the woman was so frightened. Those who knew thought they were threatening with verbal threats.

It's not right to stand there for a while, and it's not right to retreat.

Yu Chunxi comforted her, and when she felt that her wife had calmed down, seeing the two police officers still standing here, her expression turned cold: "Boss Liu, I don't know why you came here this time, but I can tell you clearly that this matter...has nothing to do with my wife!"

"Let's go. Although I'm dressed in white, I'm still a scholar, and I have a reputation! If you continue to bother me, don't blame me for going to the Fujun to beat the drum and complain!"

"see a visitor out!"
