Volume 2 Chapter 18 The Jincheng Bloody Case
Looking at the few people rushing towards him, Xing Shengbin could only temporarily block the acupuncture point to prevent the spread of poisonous blood, and got up to fight.
Chaotic warfare is Xing Shengbin's favorite, but it is not in the case of injury, in order to ensure that he has a certain defensive ability, Xing Shengbin can only use the talisman spell that he has figured out.
The long sword in his right hand flew out several sword qi in a row, and Xing Shengbin had already summoned the Book of Judgment, no matter how powerful the six-grade long sword was, it was not as good as the Guardian Blade that increased the damage by fifty percent.
After a few battles, the Guardian Blade has already been upgraded to level four, and the summoning time has become an hour, so fighting one battle is almost enough.
Xing Shengbin released his sword qi to resist the black-clothed man who rushed over, but his body was trying to adjust and retreat.
It's not far from the two-bowl water shop where everyone drinks mutton soup, and it's the dead of night at this time, as long as you recruit helpers, your life will be saved.
Before Xing Shengbin could recruit helpers, a whistle sounded, and all the people in black quickly retreated.
And Jiang Shun and the others, who heard the whistle, also walked out of the two bowls of water, and happened to see Xing Shengbin and Xiao Liuzi, who were also injured.
Seeing that the two of them were not in the right state, Jiang Shun hurriedly shouted:
"Horse face, put on guard, brothers chase after me. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed out of the store with two bowls of water. As soon as a few people came to Xing Shengbin and Xiao Liuzi's side, a courtyard at the end of the street lit up red and went into the water.
After briefly checking the injuries of the two, Jiang Shun chased after them with a few people, leaving Ma Mian and another person to take care of Xing Shengbin and Xiao Liuzi.
With the support of the brothers, the four of them returned to the restaurant with two bowls of water, and Xing Shengbin hurriedly took out the short arrow, and began to run the true yuan, as well as the innate true qi, and forced out the poisonous blood on his shoulders little by little.
And on the side, the brothers who took care of the two, one of whom was called the horse-faced, picked up the short arrow, swallowed his spit, and whispered:
"The people of the army. ”
There are many kinds of arrows in crossbow arrows, but the most common is the short arrow of the military's crossbow, which is only about 30 centimeters in length, and the tail of the arrow has a groove to facilitate the crossbow string into the groove and increase the shooting strength.
The arrows have double-winged arrows for the farthest shooting distance, and three-edged arrows for the strongest piercing force. And the short arrow taken from Xing Shengbin's body is the three-edged arrow with the strongest penetrating power, such an arrow can easily shoot through ordinary defensive soldiers, although the iron armor of the forbidden army is a yuan soldier, but the grade is really low.
At this time, Xing Shengbin was healing, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to any three-edged arrows, while Xiao Liuzi on the other side was treating his wounds with the help of another person.
Although there are many wounds, they are not poisoned, and they can be bandaged directly, but Xing Shengbin is different, and all the poisonous blood in the body must be removed before treatment, so he can only watch the wound bleed.
And the only thing Ma Yan can do is probably to hold a strip of cotton cloth in his hand, wait for Xing Shengbin to complete the expulsion, and wipe the poisonous blood from time to time.
However, at this moment, the thick cloth curtains of two bowls of water were lifted, and two men dressed in black stepped into the store.
Seeing the arrows on the ground, the two hurriedly stabbed the horse's face with their backs to them.
Fortunately, Ma Yan felt the cold wind behind him, and when he saw the man in black, Ma Yan and the other two hurriedly summoned the Yuan soldiers again and began to resist.
Seeing this scene, Xing Shengbin also knew that it was not good, this was to kill people and kill people, although Xing Shengbin was healing, it did not mean that he was deaf, and he also heard the sentence "army man" in Ma Yan's mouth.
didn't have time to deal with the wound, Xing Shengbin also pulled out his long sword again and began to support the three of them.
As for the owner and lady of the shop, the basin of hot water that had just been brought in was intended to be used by Xing Shengbin and the others to clean their wounds, when they saw the hall in a mess, their heads shrank, and they shrank back directly into the back hall.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, tonight is destined to be a, a night of killing.
With the support of Xing Shengbin's spell, the four of them left one of the two killers behind after losing one, and one of them saw that things were not good and fled.
Looking at the corpse of the brother on the ground, the horse's face and the mouth of the six sons were tightly closed, with sadness and anger.
In order to prevent going and returning, the three people sat on the lobby with their swords in their hands, and the two corpses were placed in the lobby like this.
forced out all the poisonous blood, Xing Shengbin did not use Fuhei Qiyan, it is really inappropriate to use this at this time, as the saying goes, a crying baby has candy to eat, this reason couldn't be simpler.
Xing Shengbin just sprinkled some gold sore medicine, wrapped it in cotton cloth, and sat in the lobby with the other two people and waited.
The sword in Xing Shengbin's hand had been replaced by a puffy Yuan soldier, and feeling thirsty, Xing Shengbin shouted loudly:
"Boss, bring us a few bowls of mutton soup. ”
Ma Yan and Liuzi asked without squinting:
"Xiaobin, how are your injuries, it doesn't matter if you bleed a lot. ”
Xing Shengbin said with a smile:
"I'm fine, just drink two bowls of mutton soup to make up for it, but it's a pity for this brother. ”
Lying on the ground was the brother who was still talking and laughing with people just now, but in the blink of an eye, he became a cold corpse.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground, the horse said:
"This incident is special, since it involves the army, this matter can be big or small, we just need to do our part, the corpse, it is better to hand it over directly to Shangguan, we don't want to mix it casually. ”
Xing Shengbin and Liuzi nodded at the same time.
The boss trembled and brought three bowls of mutton soup, Xing Shengbin directly picked up the mutton soup, endured the pain in his shoulder, and drank a sip of steaming mutton soup, and his body temperature slowly rose, and the feeling of thirst disappeared after a bowl of mutton soup.
Chewing the mutton in the soup in his mouth, Xing Shengbin said:
"Whew,, it's finally more comfortable. ”
Excessive blood loss, coupled with the cold winter, this feeling is indeed uncomfortable, but after a bowl of mutton soup, Xing Shengbin finally felt that he was still alive.
Two hours later, Jiang Shun led the group back to the two bowls of water, saw the two corpses on the ground, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Ma Mian briefly said the matter, Jiang Shun's brows immediately erected, dropped a silver ingot or two, took the two corpses, and everyone returned to the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
On the way, Xing Shengbin learned from Jiang Shun's mouth that a wealthy businessman in Jincheng had a family of thirty-five people, all of whom were killed, if it weren't for the accidental intrusion of Xing Shengbin and Xiao Liuzi, he could only be discovered when the fire burned.
As for the gang of men in black, they acted carefully and retreated in an orderly manner, leaving no traces, not even finding any useful clues.
Only Xing Shengbin and Ma Mian killed a man in black together, and the half-cut arrow that shot Xing Shengbin is the only evidence left in this bloody case.
As for the crossbow arrow that was dodged by Xiao Liuzi, the people who stayed behind searched for it all night and did not find any traces, and even the half of the tail of the arrow cut off by Xing Shengbin had disappeared.
After briefly recounting the incident to the Shangguan who came to investigate the case, Xing Shengbin received a reward of twenty taels of silver, and returned to the inn after a three-day vacation, and obtained the rank of lieutenant (similar to a military rank).
Ma Mian and Xiao Liu, who killed the enemy with Xing Shengbin, also won such an honor, but Ma Mian did not have so much reward, and only received a reward of ten taels.
But this is already very good, you must know that the little soldiers like the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, although they are in the eighth grade, but the annual salary is only eighty taels of silver, and there is only silver, no rice fields and the like, so this is still converted and put together.
Ten taels of silver, which is already equivalent to more than a month's salary.
As for the brother who died, the family received twenty taels for the funeral, thirty taels for the death of the family, and two taels of silver a year until the death of the wife.
A five-foot-tall man, a life was only exchanged for fifty taels of silver, as well as a subsidy of two taels per year, human life in this world does not seem to be too valuable.
Before leaving the Soldiers and Horses, Xing Shengbin directly gave Jiang Shun the twenty taels of silver in his hand and asked him to transfer it to the wife of the dead brother.
