In the Yuexiang Inn, after Liu Tianxiong took a cadre of officials to investigate the guests in the inn one by one, he found an important clue, and now the suspect is kneeling in the inn to be interrogated by Liu Tianxiong.

Behind Liu Tianxiong stood two servants, and on the table next to him was a teapot, a teacup, and something wrapped in a white cloth.

Liu Tianxiong poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I've been busy for most of the morning, and I haven't drunk a sip of water yet, so I'm really thirsty." ”

After Liu Tianxiong finished drinking the tea, he suddenly picked up the teapot on the table, slapped it on the table fiercely, and made a terrifying sound, saying: "Chu Tianpeng, if you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, please tell the truth how you killed Ning Tianxiang, the owner of Yuexiang Inn." ”

The person kneeling in the inn was a man in his thirties, wearing very gorgeous clothes, high-end atmosphere, dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a gorgeous square high hat on his head, a person like him, the guests watching outside the door couldn't believe that he would be the murderer of Ning Tianxiang.

Because he doesn't look like a person who is short of money at all, such a person, accompanied by beautiful women at night, and escorted when he goes out, it is when the scenery is full of scenery and the spring breeze is proud, even if he wants to kill someone, it is impossible to do it himself.

"Will he be a murderer? Is there any mistake? If I were him, someone else would put a knife on my neck, and I wouldn't kill anyone, because he hasn't enjoyed enough of his rich life, so how could he kill people? ”

"Yes, yes, I also think he can't be the murderer who killed Ning Tianxiang."

Liu Tianxiong regarded the teapot in his hand as a shocking wood, slapped it violently again, and scolded loudly: "Silence! Master Ben asked, what are you scared of? Whether he is a murderer or not, Master Ben will know as soon as he asks. ”

Liu Tianxiong slapped the teapot, which frightened the guests who were watching the excitement outside the door shivered, and some covered their mouths with their hands, for fear that they would speak again.

Chu Tianpeng, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't seem to hear the sound at all, and there was a very weird smile on his face.

Liu Tianxiong stared at Chu Tianpeng and said, "It's Chu Tianpeng who is kneeling on the ground?"

Chu Tianpeng sneered: "Your little master dares to show off his martial arts here, I don't think you want to live."

The two officials behind Liu Tianxiong spoke almost at the same time, "Bold! You dare to be so disrespectful to our master, this is contempt of the court! ”

Chu Tianpeng sneered and said, "Defying the court?" Chu Tianpeng looked around, "The little one is not confused, this is the inn." It has nothing to do with the court. As for him......" Chu Tianpeng glared at Liu Tianxiong and sneered, "He's just a little master, what right do you have to let me kneel him?" ”

Chu Tianpeng wanted to stand up after saying that, but as soon as his left leg was bent and his right foot was not straightened, he was hit by a peanut at the ankle of his leg.

Although the peanuts were small, when they popped out of Liu Tianxiong's right hand, hit the door frame, and rebounded to Chu Tianpeng's leg and wrist, the force did not weaken at all.

Chu Tianpeng, who had beaten a peanut, couldn't stand up anymore, he was now kneeling on one knee, looking at Liu Tianxiong angrily, and said, "What a powerful finger flick!" I didn't expect that there would be a master like you in Ping'an County! ”

Liu Tianxiong saw that Chu Tianpeng had softened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes stared at Chu Tianpeng's square face, and said: "Chu Tianpeng, you said that this master is not a county magistrate, and he has no right to let you kneel, this master does not blame you, because this is not a public court." But this master has the waist card of the county order, and the waist card is like seeing the county order. Liu Tianxiong flashed his waist card in front of Chu Tianpeng, and continued: "According to the rules of this county, the master can apply for the case instead of the county order, and report the case to the county order, and the county commander will make a decision."

Chu Tianpeng knelt on one knee, but his mouth was not convinced, and said, "What kind of rule is this?"

"To be honest, if you are disrespectful to the master, you are disrespectful to the county commander." The official behind Liu Tianxiong glared at Chu Tianpeng and said.

Chu Tianpeng sneered and said, "I also tell you, my father is the assassin of Anqing City, if you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, your life may not be saved."

"Ahh When the official behind Liu Tianxiong heard this, his face changed in fright.

Liu Tianxiong's eyes widened angrily, glared at Chu Tianpeng, and his words were like ironclad nails, and said: "If you are the murderer of Ning Tianxiang, even if this master doesn't do it, my life is not guaranteed, I will take your head off your neck."

"Ahh This sentence frightened Chu Tianpeng into a cold sweat.

Liu Tianxiong said sharply: "Chu Tianpeng, you'd better recognize your position, in this Ping'an County, no matter who violates the king's law, he will not go unpunished." If this master is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will not come to this officialdom to be a little master. ”

Chu Tianpeng's bones didn't seem to be so hard, so his tone of voice softened, and he said, "Please ask Master Master, I will cooperate with your work."

Liu Tianxiong could see that although Chu Tianpeng promised to cooperate with him in the investigation, he was not convinced in his heart, but it didn't matter, after all, Chu Tianpeng was not a prisoner now.

Liu Tianxiong said: "Very good! Master Ben asked you, when you slept next door to Ning Tianxiang last night, did you find anything unusual? ”

Chu Tianpeng shook his head and said, "No." Yesterday I drank a little wine, before going to bed, I asked the shopkeeper to help me bring me a pot of tea, I drank two cups, fell asleep on the bed, and did not hear any unusual sounds at night. ”

Liu Tianxiong has been staring at Chu Tianpeng's eyes, and Chu Tianpeng's appearance doesn't look like he is lying.

Liu Tianxiong asked carefully again, and said, "Do you sleep very well at night?"

Chu Tianpeng shook his head and said, "Of course not." I'm in the medicinal herb business. You know, those who do our job have some martial arts on their bodies, and they are very alert when they sleep, and if there is any small movement, we will be awakened immediately. This is also our professional habit! ”

Liu Tianxiong said strangely: "Oh? Is this your professional habit? Very good! But why did you sleep like a dead pig last night and not hear a sound at all? Is it because you drank alcohol? ”

Chu Tianpeng panicked: "No, it's not. I wouldn't have slept so dead even if I had drunk three bowls of wine, but last night I didn't know why I slept like a dead man, and I forgot to close the door. ”

Liu Tianxiong tore off the white cloth on the table, took out a dagger from it, pinched the handle of the dagger, shook it twice in front of him, and said to Chu Tianpeng: "Let's not talk about why you slept like a dead pig last night, look at the dagger in the hand of this master, have you ever seen it?"

Chu Tianpeng saw that the handle of the dagger was carved with a dragon and a phoenix, which was very gorgeous, the tip of the dagger was very long, narrow, and there were blood stains on the dagger, he panicked in his heart and exclaimed: "Ah! This...... How did this dagger end up here? ”

"If it's not here, where should it be?" Liu Tianxiong stared at Chu Tianpeng's boots and said.

Chu Tianpeng also glanced down at his boots.

Liu Tianxiong said loudly: "Someone! Take off Chu Tianpeng's boots for me. ”

A servant behind Liu Tianxiong immediately walked to Chu Tianpeng's side, and was about to make a move, when Chu Tianpeng said, "No, I'll come by myself."

Chu Tianpeng took out a dagger sheath from his right boot, handed it to the officer, and said, "I don't know why this dagger is not in my dagger sheath."

Liu Tianxiong said: "Take it!"

Liu Tianxiong took the dagger sheath and slowly inserted the dagger into the dagger sheath. The dagger and the dagger sheath are simply a natural pair, a pair born on the ground, and they match amazingly.

Liu Tianxiong glared at him and said sharply: "Chu Tianpeng, are you guilty?" This dagger is the murder weapon that stabbed Ning Tianxiang to death, and it was found under a waste hay in the stables in the inn, what else do you have to say? ”

"Yes! It must have been this Chu Tianpeng who buried the dagger in the waste grass in the horse shed after killing Ning Tianxiang at night, but he didn't expect that the sky net would be restored and not leaked, and he was finally discovered. There was a man in the crowd talking.

Chu Tianpeng felt that things were not good for him, and said fearfully: "Master, this is ...... I really didn't kill anyone. I was wronged! ”

Liu Tianxiong glared at Chu Tianpeng and said, "You didn't kill anyone, so you can explain why there are blood stains on your dagger?" Why is your dagger not in your dagger sheath? Why is your dagger in the stable? ”

Chu Tianpeng suddenly knelt on the ground with his legs and said, "This ......"

Liu Tianxiong struck while the iron was hot, and asked closely: "What is this?" Still not from the truth? So as not to suffer from flesh and skin! ”

With a "bang", Liu Tianxiong slapped the teapot on the table fiercely, as if he was slapping the tangtang, which frightened Chu Tianpeng and everyone into a cold sweat.

Chu Tianpeng was trembling all over.

Liu Tianxiong said loudly: "Isn't your father the assassin of Anqing City? How? You're just so good, and this master just scares you like a grandson just by slapping the teapot? ”

Chu Tianpeng trembled and said, "Master, forgive me, the villain's father is the follower of Anqing City's assassin history. Please find out that someone must have stolen the dagger while the villain was asleep at night, and then the man used the villain's dagger to kill people, and then hid the dagger in the stable. Master Mingjian, if the person was killed by the villain, then why did the villain only hide the dagger and not the dagger sheath? Also, the villain had evidence of an alibi last night. ”

Liu Tianxiong felt that what Chu Tianpeng said was also reasonable, so his attitude towards Chu Tianpeng also changed a lot: "Since you have evidence of an alibi, why didn't you say it just now?"
