Although the autumn sun was shining, Cao Erniu still felt cold all over his body, as if he had entered an ice cave on a dog day.

Xin Kang, who was standing an arm's length away in front of him, didn't seem to be in a hurry, and there was still a light smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly looking at him who was sweating profusely.

The time was not long, but Er Niu felt as if a long time had passed, and he sighed lightly and said, "Back to my lord, I have seen the person you said." ”

Xin Kang was not surprised, just nodded slightly, and asked, "Where did you meet him?" ”

Since he had already started to say it, he didn't want to hide it any longer, so he replied: "On the official road outside the town." ”

"On the official road?" Xin Kang was obviously a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Then how did he threaten you with the lives of his wife and children?" ”

Cao, who had been listening silently on the sidelines, couldn't help but reach out and touch his slightly bulging abdomen when he heard this. This move did not escape Xin Kang's eyes, I saw that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say it, but he didn't say it.

"He said a lot, but he didn't threaten me," Cao Erniu, who thought about it for a long time, said: "It's another person, let me not tell his whereabouts." ”

Xin Kang, who has always been extremely smart, was obviously confused by Cao Erniu's words, and asked with a puzzled face: "What?" It's not you who he is coercing, but someone else who is trying to coerce you? Could it be that he still has accomplices! ”

Cao Erniu lowered his head and thought about it, confirming that what Nangong Feifei said could not be regarded as coercion, but only as a warning, so he shook his head and said, "She should not be coercing me, but warning us all!" ”

"All of us?" Xin Kang looked dazed, obviously not knowing how to explain this, and asked suspiciously: "What does this mean, the more I hear it, the more confused I become." ”

Listening to him until now, not to mention that Xin Kang didn't understand, even the Cao family, who shared the bed with her, was confused and frowned, savoring what he meant, but after thinking about it, he couldn't understand the deep meaning. I had no choice but to ask, "What are you talking about?" A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west! ”

Even the shopkeeper Yang, who was standing next to him and had been staying out of the matter, also nodded and said: "My brother and sister are right, the more you say it, the more confused I will become, what the hell is going on!" ”

Cao Erniu looked up at the expressions of the three of them, and said in surprise: "Master Xin doesn't know what I'm talking about, and even you don't know what I'm talking about, don't you know what I'm talking about?" ”

Standing on the side, he was recalling what he had just heard about Xin Kang word by word, and when he heard that even these two people knew about the threat, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at the Cao family and the Yang shopkeeper in surprise, and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that these two people are also lying, but I have carefully observed them just now, and there is no sign of lying, can I say that I have missed something?" ”

The two of them, who were originally dazed, saw Xin Kang's eyes staring at them directly. Cao was okay and didn't take it to heart, but Shopkeeper Yang panicked and hurriedly scolded: "How do I know what you said?" ”

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Yang, Cao Erniu's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Hey, Brother Yang, you are not right." She just ate at your house in the morning, and it's not yet noon and you've forgotten everything? Your memory is terrible..."

Xin Kang, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Cao Erniu, who was continuing, and asked, "You mean that the person who is blackmailing you is still eating at his house in the morning?" ”

Cao Erniu nodded and shook his head again: "It's not a threat, it's a warning." ”

When he said this, Shopkeeper Yang's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly: "Brother Erniu, don't scare me, I did two businesses this morning, how can there be this person you said." ”

"That's right," Cao Erniu nodded, and said, "It's the three people in the morning, didn't that woman warn us all not to tell others about their whereabouts and Yang Hong?" You forgot so quickly. ”

Shopkeeper Yang suddenly opened his mouth wide, looked at him with a look of surprise, and said angrily: "Of course I haven't forgotten this!" Listening to his tone, he seemed to be quite annoyed by Erniu for telling Yang Hong's whereabouts, but with Xin Kang beside him, he could only hold back the displeasure in his heart, and flicked his sleeves and said, "But what does this matter have to do with what Lord Xin asked?" ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xin Kang stood aside and watched the two quietly. For him, if the two quarreled because of this and shook out the truth, he would not have to interrogate him again.

Things turned out to be as he expected, only to see Cao Erniu stroking his palms and shouting: "Of course it matters, the six-foot-tall and thin man asked by Master Xin is the Yang Hong who stole my clothes and was sent away by me!" ”

Before his words landed, I saw Cao and Yang shopkeepers exclaiming, "What? ”

Xin Kang, who was standing quietly on the side, looked at everyone's expressions, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Look at this, several of them obviously know this person, so why didn't the other two people react at all except Cao Erniu when they asked for the first time just now." ”

But then he comforted himself, although there were some mistakes along the way, but in the end, it came to light. Not only did this person see him, but he also knew the name, and what he didn't expect was that this person actually knew where he was.

It stands to reason that this is an excellent time to arrest, but listening to the conversation of the few people just now, it seems that he still has three accomplices. Why not wait a moment and see what else you can hear.

Things were as he expected, and after a moment of silence, the shopkeeper Yang spoke: "Brother Erniu, do you mean that the person who stole your clothes and was sent away by you is the one that Lord Xin is looking for?" ”

Cao Erniu was a little puzzled by his question, and after a little thought, he said: "I don't know if it's that person, I just know that he is the same height as me, but he is thinner than me." And you heard what Master Xin asked just now. As he spoke, he glanced at Xin Kang, who was crossing his arms and looking pensive.

Seeing him look over, Xin Kang didn't know what he meant, so he coughed lightly and said, "You just said that he stole your clothes?" ”

"Hmm," Cao Erniu nodded hurriedly, "Yes." As he spoke, he glanced at Cao, and seemed to still have lingering feelings about the morning's events.

"That shouldn't be wrong," Xin Kang nodded and said with a smile, "The reason why I said tall is because this person escaped from the Dragon Mansion naked!" It's late autumn, and even during the day, I feel a little cold, let alone late at night, so I'm bound to steal some clothes. ”

Hearing this, Cao, who had been silent, bowed his head slightly and said, "In this way, everything can be right." ”

Shopkeeper Yang also seemed to understand thoroughly, nodded and said: "Well, the thing should be that the three people who live in your backyard are in the palace on the mountain, and they forced this person to get out of their shells, and then fled naked to our Le'an Town, and then stole Erniu's clothes, and stopped Erniu's donkey cart on the official road..."

"Wait," Xin Kang stretched out his hand to cut off the shopkeeper Yang who was talking endlessly, tilted his head and asked, "You just said that the three people who live in the backyard of his house, what do you mean by that?" ”

Cao Erniu couldn't hide this matter anymore, but he still glared at the shopkeeper Yang and said: "Back to Lord Xin, what you asked just now is if anyone is trying to blackmail me not to reveal the whereabouts of that person, it is the three adults who live in my backyard, but they are not coerced, but they are not to let us reveal it in order to protect us." ”

Hearing Cao Erniu say that someone kept his mouth shut in order to protect him, Xin Kang didn't seem to understand, and asked suspiciously: "I don't let you say it, is it to protect you?" ”

"Yes, that's it," Shopkeeper Yang was afraid that Xin Kang would blame him, so he didn't explain the truth at first, and hurriedly added: "That person is Yang Hong, the Thirteenth Taibao of the Bloody Hand, and I heard that he is a murderous demon. I wonder if you have ever heard the name of this bloody thirteen Taibao? ”

This name was originally made up by Nangong Feifei, Xin Kang has lived in the palace for many years, how could he have heard of it.

But he nodded for some reason, and muttered: "Bloody Hand Thirteen Taibao, that is a notorious villain." ”

Confirmed by the commander of the Golden Armor Army, the three of them were even more convinced of what Nangong Feifei said.

Shopkeeper Yang looked like he was living for the rest of his life, and muttered: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately I didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise I would have been in a different place by now." As soon as the words fell, he saw the Cao couple looking at him with a frightened face.

After being looked at by these two people, Shopkeeper Yang realized that he had just said a little too much on a whim.

Bloody Thirteen Taibao, as the name suggests, is thirteen people to worship, Yang Hong is one, the two women with strange tempers just now should also be among the members, and they are almost even talking about these two for a while.

At this point, cold sweat broke out, the smile on his face instantly condensed, and the corners of his eyes trembled involuntarily.

Fortunately, Xin Kang didn't notice what he said, and still sat silently on the chair, touching his forehead with his hand and contemplating silently.

Seeing that he didn't seem to notice, Shopkeeper Yang finally let go of his hanging heart.

In fact, everyone didn't know that this Lord Xin at this time didn't listen to what they were talking about at all. Don't look at him with his hands on his forehead and a pensive face, in fact, his heart is as happy as a flower.

The fact that he caught a thief with ease, and the bloody Thirteen Taibao who risked his life to capture the evil, of course, is much more credited to the latter.

As for whether there is really such a group of wicked people on the rivers and lakes, he doesn't bother to think about it, there is not much difference between him and not, not to mention that now some people say that they are, so he thinks that it is.

The thought of the sight of having this person in front of the new commander made him burst out laughing.

The three people who were originally standing opposite were trembling and frightened about what the shopkeeper Yang had said just now, and suddenly saw that this adult actually laughed out loud, and they were all confused.

Everyone also knows that the rest of your life depends entirely on the mood of the adult in front of you.

Now seeing that he laughed to himself for no reason, he didn't dare to ask what the reason was, so he could only secretly speculate whether he was laughing at them for being too naïve.

Maybe Xin Kang felt that it was a little inappropriate to laugh out loud at this time, but he coughed lightly and said, "The person you said to warn you just now didn't leave, but lived in your backyard?" ”

Hearing this, the Cao couple was shocked, but the two of them promised not to tell outsiders about the whereabouts of the three people. Now that the two of them have closed the door before, isn't it misunderstood as harboring evil intentions?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help glaring at the shopkeeper Yang who exposed the matter, and gritted his teeth and bowed his head and replied: "If you go back to your lordship, a few of them were going to take a break from me before, but after seeing the small shop, they felt that it was too shabby, so they left through the back door." ”

Obviously, Xin Kang didn't believe her, but he saw a sneer tugging at the corner of his lips, staring at Cao, his eyes swaying, and said coldly: "The reason why you went down is because you are afraid that I will see the look in your eyes when you lie?" ”

was told by his words, Cao's obvious body was shocked, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only bury his head again.

Seeing that he was being said by himself, Xin Kang's expression was cold, and his tone was like frost, "I thought you were a woman, and I didn't want to embarrass you, but if you toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame me for enforcing the law impartially!" Speaking of this, I saw him roaring, "Someone! ”

It may be that he obeyed his orders before, and all the golden guards were too far away, so no one responded to him.

Xin Kang looked back at the empty streets, his face a little embarrassed. Then he raised his voice and shouted, "Someone! ”
