A long line of lanterns hung under the porch, illuminating the deck brightly. The website is here, and occasionally the sound of soft silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard drifting in the wind.

Probably because everyone on the boat knew that there were two corpses inside, and they were disgusted with bad luck, so the neighborhood was empty, and there was no one in the area.

Feng Qiyi kicked open the closed door and dodged into the house. It was pitch black inside, and he suddenly entered from the bright spot, and his eyes were a little uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes and paused for a while, only to gradually see the situation inside through the light outside.

It was still a mess, the scattered porcelain shards on the ground showed a glowing sheen, and the bird's nest soup that had long since dissipated its heat was mixed with the dust, dirty and sticky like rotten food turned out of the stomach. A few delicate and luxurious brocade garments were thrown on the ground, long like tattered rags under countless trampling steps.

Feng Qi's eyes hurriedly swept over, and he immediately strode into the inner room.

Through a cotton curtain, there was a black hole in the inner room, and only the approximate shape of the object could be faintly seen. Feng Qi frowned, took out the fire fold from his waist, and lit the half of the candle that Fang had just touched from the table.

Orange flames danced, dispelling the darkness of the room. Feng Qi took advantage of this light and gradually saw the situation inside. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he still gasped.

I saw that the bodies of Mrs. Xi and Li Ruxiang were neatly placed on the ground, and there was one more person among them. A man with his tongue cut out, his hands and feet having their meridians picked, and he could only wriggle like a giant maggot.

There was also a brazier at the man's feet, and half of the pot of burnt black ash remained in it. Feng Qi squatted down, flicked it inside with the scabbard, and saw a few pieces of paper in the black ash that had not burned out.

He took out one of the largest ones and looked at it, and there was still a half-cut seal of Loncin Money on it. Feng Qi sighed and threw the fluttering piece of paper back into the ashes. Patting the black ash on his hands, he finally lowered his head to Xi Zhizhou's frightened eyes.

Xi Zhizhou's tongue was cut and he couldn't speak, and his hands and feet were scrapped and he couldn't climb out of the confinement of his former wife and concubine. He could only lift his neck vigorously and let out a terrifying howl at Feng Qi.

Feng Qi took out a unique waist card of the Xi family from his sleeve pocket, shook it in front of him, and after identifying himself, he said in a low voice:

"Xi Jiwen, in the past, you made an oath in front of the head of the family, if you can be reused by the emperor, you will definitely be public and not selfish, and you will never let the reputation of the Xi family for hundreds of years be damaged. Otherwise, he will cut off his hands and feet and ask to be removed from the Xi family tree, and he will never enjoy the candle worship of the descendants of the Xi family. Now that you have ended up like this, you can be regarded as the fulfillment of your own vow. ”

Xi Jiwen was stunned for a moment, his expression became more and more frightened, he desperately raised his head to touch Feng Qi's toes, as if he wanted to ask for his forgiveness.

This was an era of worship of ghosts and gods, and the importance of the family. Especially for a huge family like the Xi family, which has a reputation for hundreds of years, all descendants are proud to be able to be welcomed into the ancestral hall after death to enjoy the incense offerings of the descendants.

Xi Zhizhou would rather die immediately than be removed from the family. Because that means that after a hundred years, he will become a lonely and wandering ghost because his soul has nowhere to go.

Because he struggled too hard, Xi Zhizhou's originally solidified wound burst out again, thick blood gushed out one by one, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth mixed with blood foam wet the clothes on his chin.

In the end, it is the descendant of the Xi family, although Feng Qi hates him and is not angry, he can't bear to look at him so sadly. He stood up and tore the blanket from the bed, covering his ugly body, which was still squirming desperately.

Feng Qi bent down and wrapped the blanket at random, firmly covering Xi Zhizhou's head and feet, and then clamped it under his armpit and wanted to leave. When I got to the door, I heard a loud noise outside: "Wait, look, there's movement in that room." ”

"Yes, yes, it shouldn't be that stinky boy from Yu Wu hiding inside!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

"Wait, I remember that the bodies of those two wives are inside, so you are not afraid of being contaminated?"

"I'm afraid! Lao Tzu is not only afraid of bad luck but also afraid of poverty, now whoever dares to stop Lao Tzu from getting rich, Lao Tzu will let him know what the real bad luck is"

Feng Qi was stunned, and couldn't help but secretly scold Xiao Fengnan, the leader who caused trouble, and at the same time took a few steps back. The door was slammed open, and seven or eight boatmen armed with sticks broke in.

They happened to face Feng Qi head-on, and they were also taken aback, and the sticks in their hands pointed at Feng Qi in unison, and asked in a messy manner: "Who are you, why are you here, but you want to steal things while there is chaos?"

Feng Qi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You think too much, I'm just" Xi Zhizhou in his hand struggled for a moment and whined.

Feng Qi grabbed him harder and harder before continuing: "It's just that this guest is injured, I want to take him back to the room to see if there is any possibility of healing." ”

Everyone's eyes moved to the huge mass of objects under Feng Qi's armpits, how could these people who were already red-eyed for the sake of reward believe Feng Qi's words, and one of them immediately shouted: "No matter who you have in your hand, you must put it down quickly, otherwise we will not be polite to you." ”

Feng Qi is an arrogant character, except for Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue who can make him bow his head, even the prince may not be able to make him buy it. How could he be frightened by a few boatmen with brute strength.

In addition, Feng Qi felt that Xi Zhizhou's embarrassed appearance at the moment really lost the face of the Xi family, so he didn't want him to show it in front of others. So he raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "If I don't let go, what will you do?"

"Brothers, what should we do if we meet someone who is not afraid of death and grabs money from us?" The head of the group had a hideous face and took the lead in provoking. A few stunned people immediately echoed: "Snatching people and wealth is like shā rén's parents, of course you don't have to be polite with him, everyone goes together."

They accounted for a large number of people, and they recognized that Feng Qi was so strong, they must have caught Yu Wu and wanted to swallow the silver alone, so they were not afraid of death, and all the sticks in their hands beckoned to Feng Qi without a head or a brain.

Feng Qi smiled coldly, shook his arm vigorously, and threw Xi Zhizhou under his arm back to the inner room along with the blanket. The scabbard in his hand flew out at the same time, striking one of them in the face.

The unsheathed sword dazzled everyone's eyes with a bloodthirsty cold glow, but they didn't expect Feng Qi to suddenly attack, accompanied by a miserable scream, and everyone who was originally fierce and vicious immediately hesitated.

Feng Qi stood with his sword, and the fierce momentum of his whole body was vented. He laughed and said: "If you are not afraid of death, go on, the master has been holding back on the boat for so long, it is time for huo dong huo dong to have muscles!"

Someone hid behind and instigated: "What are you afraid of, no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person, and so many of us can kill him with one stick and one stick." ”

"Yes, starve the cowardly, support the bold, don't be bluffed by him, go"

In the face of the crowd swarming, Feng Qi was not afraid, he laughed and faced it with his sword. The sword shadow turned into countless cold rays, flickering one after another in the crowd, and from time to time a few puffs of blood flew out and accompanied by a miserable scream.

Although Feng Qi was angry, he still had a trace of reason, he knew that these people in front of him were only temporarily blinded by greed, but they were not great traitors, and they were not guilty of death. Therefore, he was very measured, and every time he swung the sword, it looked amazing, but in fact, it only cut through their skin and immediately withdrew his hand.

So the scene seemed to be tragic, but in fact there was not much harm.

After a few rounds, the boatmen thought he was an embroidered pillow, seemingly powerful but not lethal, so they were more aggressive and more ruthless.

The good tiger can't stand the wolves, and the room is not spacious, it is inevitable that it can't be used, no matter how agile Feng Qi is, he can't stop the wooden sticks waving from all directions, so he also took several blows on the back of his shoulders and waist.

These people in front of them were confused by greed and didn't know how to advance or retreat, and all the people who acted bravely were black hands, and Feng Qi's eyes gradually turned red. As soon as he gritted his teeth, the sword in his hand gradually carried a bit of true qi, and he swung it out fiercely. This time, he decided not to show mercy anymore, and he had to make them scared before he knew how to advance or retreat.

The sword slashed through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and when he heard this movement, he knew that Feng Qi was in a hurry, and it was not as simple as breaking the skin if he wanted to run into it. Under the sword wind, a few nimble ones immediately dodged with rolling and crawling, but pushed out a young man who couldn't dodge behind.

The sword slashed at the young man's neck, and if it was cut this time, the young man would die on the spot without blood splashing five steps. Feng Qi's eyes glanced coldly, and he happened to meet the young man's panicked gaze.

The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and a look of despair appeared on his childish face. He also wanted the reward to go home and marry, but he had not been wiped out by greed to the last trace of conscience, so he had been hiding behind the crowd and bluffing. But he didn't expect that danger would come, and those people would hide so quickly, and they didn't hesitate to push him under the sharp blade.

As soon as the boy's knees were weak, there was a burst of dampness and heat under his crotch, and he was scared to pee in an instant.

Feng Qi glanced at his wet crotch, and was also stunned, after all, his heart was soft. The sword in his hand was castrated, but it deviated from the direction. The blade of the sword slid over the young man's shoulder, slashing heavily at the vermilion lacquer wardrobe on the side.

The sharp sword body fell into the gap, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, but in a moment's effort, Feng Qi took several heavy blows.

Feng Qi was extremely angry, and pulled out the deeply embedded sword vigorously. Suddenly, there was a strange sound of breaking wind in his ears again, and he subconsciously raised his left arm to block it. He felt a blow to his forearm, as if it had been cut by some sharp blade, and warm liquid poured out of the wounded place like a bank. In an instant, the strength of his left arm was lost, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body from the wound.

Feng Qi raised his eyes and confronted a middle-aged man with a brutal face, he also had a blood-stained short knife in his hand, and the smugness and fierceness in his eyes made Feng Qi extremely angry. Feng Qi finally stopped showing mercy to his subordinates, and used enough strength to slam it on the middle-aged man's lower abdomen.

With a scream, the middle-aged man flew out of the wide open door like a kite with a broken string, and his back smashed through the wooden side of the boat and fell.

Feng Qi kicked away the middle-aged man who was sneaking up and pulled out his sword with all his might. Blood was still gushing out from the wound on his left arm, but he didn't have time to care about it, so he only held his sword in his chest and shouted: "If anyone steps forward again, don't blame me for no mercy under the sword." ”

Feng Qi's sudden power made everyone silent for a moment, and then someone unwillingly instigated: "He is all injured, what else is there to be afraid of." Everyone can't be cowardly at this time, go up together, as long as you scrap him, you can get the reward. ”

"Yes, let's go together, let's go together"

Feng Qi's eyes burst with murderous intent, and at this time, to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to himself. He looked coldly at the greedy and crazy crowd in front of him, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

During the confrontation, Feng Qi suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Fengnan appearing at the door like a whirlwind. He was aggressive and unceremonious, holding a temporary wooden stick in his hand, and struck mercilessly on the boatmen. scolded and scolded: "A group of blind things, so that you can't find anyone, that's fine, they are still beating around my brothers." You don't want the bounty anymore, do you?"

Xiao Fengnan is not Feng Qi, he himself has the temperament of being a splashing in the market, and his skills are a few points stronger than Feng Qi. The wooden stick in his hand rained down on the vital places of the people. knocked over several people in an instant, and they couldn't get up even if their heads were broken and bleeding.

"Xiao Ye is angry, Xiao Ye is angry, we are helping you find someone" Seeing this, the remaining few people hurriedly avoided and begged for mercy. Although their eyes were red, they knew that the person in front of them could not be offended, after all, they still counted on him to ask for a reward!

Xiao Fengnan slammed the ground with a wooden stick, glared at his eyes and shouted: "A group of eight kings, are there people like you looking for? I tell you these blind things, he has an official body, if he dies on this ship, you dogs don't even want to escape, wash your neck and prepare to be stabbed!"

The four were suddenly solemn, and they looked at each other, obviously frightened by Xiao Fengnan's words. Looking at Feng Qi, who was injured but still glared angrily with his sword in his hand, these people's sanity finally returned.

One of them covered the smashed head and said unconvinced: "It's not right for Xiao Ye to say this, it's obvious that this official started the trouble first." He found Yu Wu but refused to hand it over, and grabbed the silver with a few of us. We were so angry that we did it, but now it's all on us, which is really unconvincing. ”

Xiao Fengnan didn't expect that for that reward, he would make such a fuss, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart when Shangfeng Qi's eyes were about to burst into flames. It's just that this is not the time for him to regret it, so he has to bite the bullet and continue to scold: "Where is Yu Wu? You get him out, and I will give you the reward now." ”

"Xiao Ye is waiting"

When those people heard that they could still receive a reward for injuring the official, they immediately burst into joy, and regardless of the pain in their bodies, several people broke into the inner room and carried the person wrapped in the blanket in front of Xiao Fengnan.

"Xiao Ye, Yu Wu was brought"

The blanket was lifted, and Xi Zhizhou's painful and hideous miserable appearance was revealed, and everyone who was happily preparing to receive the reward was dumbfounded.

Feng Qi sneered on the side: "He is a five-rank Zhizhou, this time he was going to enter Beijing to meet the emperor, but he didn't expect to be brutalized like this on your ship." The official had planned to sneak him away and secretly investigate the case. But you are entangled in every way, and it seems that you will not escape the involvement. When the ship arrives in the capital, a few of you will go with me to the Criminal Department!"
