Chapter 017: It's a Good Weather to Kill
The taste of the dilemma, no one knows better than the current Fang Anran.
After decades of ups and downs, there has never been a greater risk than today. A treasurer with real power died in his brothel, and he couldn't tell even if he opened his mouth.
Moreover, this case now seems to have become a headless public case, and the murderer has not been heard from. Once it is discovered that Huang Shilang died in Gentle Township, he may be used as a scapegoat by major forces at any time to pull out to take the blame.
Although the Fang family also has backers behind them, compared to those bigwig-level officials who are eyeing the position of treasurer, the Fang family's backers seem so weak and powerless.
In the ancestral hall of the Fang family, Fang Anran held a long incense plant, respectfully inserted it in the incense burner, faced the ancestral archway, and prayed sincerely: "Ancestors and ancestors, Fang Anran is in great trouble today, if this crisis cannot be passed, the Fang family's century-old foundation in the Eastern Capital will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the person who rushed in seemed to be in a hurry, obviously tripped over the high threshold, stumbled and rushed to Fang Anran's side, gasped and said, "Master, that chick, there is news." ”
Fang Anranrao is skills are profound, and after going through wind and rain, he can't help but be moved at this moment, grabbed the person who reported the news, and asked sharply: "Where is it?" With whom? ”
The messenger took two breaths, and then said in one breath: "Master, there is a gambler named Long Dongqiang in Caishi Street, and he is very good at finding out the news. Less than two days after our bounty was put down, Long Dongqiang found our men and said that he had seen this girl in Yangliu Hutong. The little one didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately found Long Dongqiang and asked him to take him to Yangliu Hutong to check, where he stayed there for seven hours, and sure enough, he saw Comb Yun coming out of the back door of a courtyard. ”
He peeked at Fang Anran and explained: "Master, there is a courtyard standing at the back door of the courtyard, and Comb Yun just threw some sundries outside the back door, turned around and went in, the little one was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he didn't dare to act rashly." If you have the opportunity to start, you will definitely take down the comb cloud first and bring it back. ”
Fang Anran muttered, "Who is that courtyard?" ”
A month and a half ago, he returned to his hometown, and the courtyard was bought by a rich man named Shao Jinshan. After a small investigation, only a few female dependents lived in the courtyard, and there were four or five nursing homes. The little one talked to the nurse, and he leaked out a little bit and said that Comb Yun was the maid that his young lady bought back a few days ago. ”
Fang Anran breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a wealthy family, this matter would be much easier. The Fang family is also a well-known name in the underworld of the Eastern Capital, and there is also a third-grade master behind the scenes. As long as they do things neatly and neatly, and do not leave a handle for others, the Fang family can sit back and relax.
"Please ask Ao Gu and Tie Xin to make offerings. Catch Comb Yun back, and I'm going to torture it myself. ”
After a pause, Fang Anran said in a deep voice: "Kill all the people in the other courtyard!" ”
The night was deep, and after a few days of haze, the sky finally revealed starlight tonight, although sparse, but still with a faint light, which made people feel happy for a while.
In Yangliu Hutong, you can barely see your fingers, the night is deep, most of the courtyards have turned off the lights and gone to sleep, and the dim night wraps Qin Fei and Chengxin hidden in the trees in a piece of black.
There is a tall plane tree in the alley, and from the tree, you can see the movement of the entire courtyard. Of course, Qin Fei chose to squat on the tree and looked at the courtyard intently.
Cheng Xin yawned and asked in a low voice, "Brother Fei'er, I admire your courage very much." At that time, you asked Yi Xiaowan to take Comb Yun away, did you make up your mind to let this girl carry the black pot for you? ”
Qin Fei said lightly: "I grew up in Caishi Street, what kind of cow. Ghost. Snake. God hasn't seen it? Yi Xiaowan can be a governor, and her family must be above the fourth grade. But although the Prosecutor's Office is terrifying, its rank is not high. Lord Governor is only an official from the third rank. In other words, Yi Xiaowan's family members are either the governor of the Prosecutor's Office, a figure at the level of the Admiral of Tongzhi, or the admirals of the Prosecutor's Office. ”
"They have great powers, controlling the operation of the military intelligence system externally, and supervising civil and military officials internally, and controlling both black and white. If I were such a character, how could I possibly let my daughter live alone in a completely defenseless place? Qin Fei smiled slyly: "Even if you don't have it on the surface, you have to send some masters to protect it secretly." ”
Cheng Xin said with a hippie smile: "Killing people with a knife has always been a worry-free and effort-saving way." ”
Speaking of fighting, the sum of the ten Qin Fei is not Fang Anran's opponent now, since this is the case, let's use Yi Xiaowan, who has a background in the Prosecutor's Office, to deal with him. Sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, Qin Fei, he has to be the 'fisherman'!
As soon as the words fell, Qin Fei's eyes suddenly condensed, staring in the direction of the front yard. There, two black shadows were like two night goshawks, swooping into the courtyard, as fast as ghosts, left and right, searching for each other.
"It's coming!"
This annex is not large, divided into two courtyards, the front yard has a gatehouse, a garden and a main hall, and the back yard has a total of three rows of eighteen houses, surrounded by a verandah.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already entered the backyard, and since they came on the order of the extermination, they naturally would not be polite, and each of them pushed open the door of a room and rushed in.
"If there are people living in these two rooms who don't know martial arts, they will be unlucky......" Cheng Xin pouted.
Suddenly, a snow-bright sword light rose into the sky, and the killing intent swept through the entire courtyard like a cold current, even Qin Fei, who was outside the courtyard and on the plane tree, was like falling into an ice cave, and Cheng Xin, who was shallow in his skills, was already freezing his teeth trembling.
The sword light broke into the void, and the entire house was destroyed and decayed into ruins in an instant, and the scattered bricks and trees fell to the ground, but it did not make a sound at all.
All the ruins of the wall seemed to have been measured, forming a circle on the ground, and the man in black who had touched the room before was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The sword-wielding swordsman, standing proudly with his sword, looked at the room opposite.
It was an even more bizarre scene, the man in black who burst into the room walked out slowly, looking at his steps, staggering heavily, as if he had lost his soul, I don't know what evil he had hit.
Rao is the realm of Qin Fei's nine pinnacles, and he can only barely see the seven orifices bleeding on his face, which is extremely terrifying, and after only taking a few steps, he staggered and fell to the ground.
Yi Xiaowan got up in her clothes, pushed open the door, and saw the two black-clothed people who fell to the ground, frowned slightly, and reprimanded lightly: "Have you not done anything with someone for too long?" Killing chickens with knives, do you want to be trained again by the Islamic Division? ”
From the room behind the man in black, a woman who looked like an old mother walked out, she and the swordsman heard Yi Xiaowan's reprimand, and immediately said with sincere fear: "Lord Supervisor, the supervisor has just moved into the courtyard less than a month ago, and the assassin attacked, and he was afraid that the Lord Supervisor would be damaged, so he shot with all his strength and did not dare to slack off." ”
Yi Xiaowan's face was like frost, she changed her usual appearance of a girl who jumped out of her laughter, slowly walked to the two black-clothed people, looked at them carefully, turned to the old woman and said, "Save it, interrogate carefully." ”
Ao Gu is also regarded as the number one person on the underworld, although he has never had the opportunity to enter the innate realm, but he has been a master of the peak of the nine grades for ten years, and he is ruthless and experienced in dealing with the enemy. In the underground world of the Eastern Capital, he is also a well-known name, and very few people dare to provoke him.
This time, Fang Anran asked him and Tie Xin to destroy a courtyard and catch a little girl, and he still felt aggrieved - this kind of work that was done by the three indiscriminate ruffians, Master Ao had not done it for a long time.
What he didn't expect was that this small courtyard, which looked peaceful, turned out to be the Longtan Tiger's Den. As soon as he touched into a room, he saw an old woman waving her sleeves at him, he knew that it was not good, but it was too late, a strange fragrance rushed into his nose, and then he was dizzy, like a burning fire, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he was in pain. If you can still gather a little strength, you can't wait to bite your tongue and kill yourself immediately.
When I woke up from my grogginess, I was in the room I had just entered, and the smell had disappeared without a trace. Arrogantly looked up, only to see a very beautiful girl standing in front of her, beside her, the old mother who frightened him to the extreme, really stood aside honestly with her hands hanging down like an old mother.
"I have a few questions for you." Yi Xiaowan pointed in the direction of the front hall: "Your companion is on trial in the front hall, if there is a slight discrepancy between the two of you's answers, I will kill both of you immediately." ”
Ao Gu's heart was terrified, he had been rampant in the Eastern Capital for many years, and he had never heard of such a young woman so powerful. Even the master who poisoned him with his gestures is only worthy of being a follower by her side. In the face of such a woman, Ao Gu could only sigh that his luck was not good, and he could only answer honestly.
"Who are you? By whom? What do you do in Besan? Yi Xiaowan asked coldly.
Ao Gu was like a person who was about to drown in the water, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and begged humbly: "Miss, the villain confesses honestly, can he confess and be lenient?" Give the villain a way to live? ”
"It depends on whether you answer me satisfactorily."
Yi Xiaowan's heart was actually quite annoyed, not long after she moved into the courtyard, someone touched her door and stabbed her. Could it be that the opponents of the Prosecutor's Office have gone crazy to such an extent?
Rashly killing the supervisor of the Prosecutor's Office will undoubtedly start a war with the entire Prosecutor's Office, and the entire Eastern Capital, and even the entire Chu State, will fall into a bloody storm. Even if Emperor Chu personally came forward to suppress it, at least hundreds or thousands of heads would have to be cut off, and it might not be able to calm the anger of the Prosecutor's Office!
Ao Gu cried and mourned, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The villain Ao Gu is the worship of the 'Gentle Township' of the Eastern Capital Gang. The one who came with me was also an offering, called Tie Xin. We came to the other courtyard this time on the orders of the gang leader Fang Boss, that is, Fang An Ran, the Nancheng Tongzhi Town Office of the Inspection Bureau...... Let's catch a maid named Comb Cloud......"
He was frightened and didn't dare to tell the matter of extermination, but he was afraid that if Tie Xin said it, he wouldn't be able to deal with it, so he had to say ruthlessly: "Boss Fang asked us to kill all the people in the other courtyard." However, this has nothing to do with the villain...... It's all Boss Fang's idea......"
Yi Xiaowan's beautiful eyes closed slightly, countless thoughts came to her heart, but she said lightly: "Well, where is Fang Anran now?" ”
"Still waiting for our news in the old ancestral hall of the Fang family in the 23rd lane of Jiajia in the south of the city......" Ao Gu looked at Yi Xiaowan pitifully and muttered: "Please miss spare your life......"
Yi Xiaowan glanced at him coldly, and instructed the old mother: "Dispose of the corpse, go to the Fang family's ancestral hall, and bring Fang Anran to see me." ”
Ao Gu's legs were weak, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, but he saw the old mother take out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, and there were three block letters written on the porcelain bottle: corpse powder.
