Chapter 36 Arrest

The alley is so narrow that only two people can walk side by side, and a few passers-by walk on the road, making the alley extremely crowded. Xu Ruyi pushed away the people who were in the way, bowed his head and walked forward quickly, the speed was not much different from running.

When Zhao Zheng chased to the mouth of the alley, Xu Ruyi had already walked to the middle of the alley, and he was about to walk out. If Xu Ruyi escapes this time and goes back to report to the other four ghosts, things will inevitably add more variables. He hurried after him, like a gust of wind, passing by the pedestrians on the road.

Passers-by were shaken by the strong wind, and all of them were unstable on their feet, and some of them fell to the ground, cursing bitterly.

Zhao Zheng followed closely behind Xu Ruyi, constantly shortening the distance between the two sides, chasing all the way out of the alley to a spacious stone road.

Xu Ruyi glanced back at Zhao Zheng not far behind him, his brows furrowed into pimples, and he simply ran up, ignoring the eyes of the pedestrians around him. She has the family heirloom "Ghost Shadow Trace", ran with all her strength, and her speed increased significantly, and she really faded away in the crowd like a ghost.

Zhao Zheng was forced to be helpless, so he had to let go of his hands and feet to chase with all his might, and the dantian in his abdomen was running like Tai Chi Liangyi, and a buoyancy filled his body. I saw him take a step forward and cross two feet away, which seemed to outsiders to be a teleportation. There happened to be a carriage walking side by side with him, and he was left behind in three or two steps. Seeing this scene, pedestrians pointed at Zhao Zheng, who was moving away quickly, causing a lot of commotion.

This road extends in all directions, leading to many small roads along the road, and the terrain is complicated, Xu Ruyi ran a few steps. Catch a lot of opportunities for one person. Went into the alley again. But he couldn't escape Zhao Zheng's sharp eyes and was seen clearly.

Zhao Zheng chased into the alley, and at this time he was only three feet away from Xu Ruyi, that is, a big step away. He raised his palm, secretly used his internal force in the palm of his hand, paused for a short breath, and then instantly slapped forward, his palm hitting the void. caused a muffled sound, and an internal force came out through the palm of his hand, approaching Xu Ruyi in front.

He has worked swordsmanship, and he has mastered the method of forcing internal force out of his body, but he is not as pure as those martial artists who specialize in palm practice. After this palm force was struck, it dispersed in all directions, forming an invisible air flow, blurring a few points where it passed, and finally hit Xu Ruyi's back, knocking him to a stagger. Fall to the ground.

The power of this palm is limited, and it can only knock Xu Ruyi down. but not to injure anyone.

Xu Ruyi shouted when he fell, which attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, and many people stopped to watch the excitement. When she saw this scene, her eyes rolled, and the light flashed in her smart eyes, and she shouted: "Indecent! What a disrespect! He wants to insult me! As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to Zhao Zheng who was chasing, and put on an expression mixed with anxiety, grievance, and panic.

Zhao Zheng didn't expect Xu Ruyi to play such a trick, he was a little caught off guard, stunned on the spot, and stopped.

As soon as the people around heard the "indecent manner", they immediately cheered up and gathered around, among which several young people with great anger even put on a posture of "drawing a knife to help each other when the road is uneven".

Xu Ruyi just wanted this effect, bit his lip lightly, and squeezed a few tears out of the pain, his acting skills were quite superb, and the drama in the teahouse was nothing more than that.

The current turmoil is big enough, if it continues like this, it will have to attract people from the government and the Cao family, and at that time, there will be no way to end it.

Zhao Zheng was in a dilemma and glanced at Xu Ruyi, who had a cunning in his eyes, as well as obvious vigilance and hostility.

The crowd around them got closer and closer, and they were about to surround the two.

Zhao Zheng was in danger, thought about it for a while, and thought of a ghost idea to get out, anyway, now that the scene is out of control, it is better to let the chaos come a little bigger, and then take the opportunity to arrest Xu Ruyi away. He reached into his sleeve, grabbed a stack of silver tickets and a few pieces of silver that he was carrying, shook it twice at the crowd around him, and then threw it into the sky.

"Whoever can pick up the money will belong to whomever it is."

As soon as these words came out, the people around them immediately looked at the sky, those broken silver glowed with an alluring silver light, and those silver tickets were marked with heart-warming numbers. The quick-eyed people immediately rushed up, jumped high to grab the fallen broken silver and silver tickets, and the scene suddenly became a pot of porridge. Most of the people focused on grabbing money, and few paid attention to Xu Ruyi anymore.

Xu Ruyi was shocked, opened his mouth and wanted to shout again, but before he could shout out, his soft and soft mouth was blocked by a strong palm, and then his back was numb, and sleepiness hit his mind, unconscious.

Zhao Zheng subdued Xu Ruyi as fast as lightning, took advantage of the chaos to help Xu Ruyi through the crowd, and left the street over the wall.

The crowd was still desperately grabbing money at this time, and some people even fought and fought for it.

Zhao Zheng took Xu Ruyi over the wall and fell into a house, and did not continue to move forward with light skills. In broad daylight, it's not easy to go high and high, not to mention that he also has a sleeping woman, and it's bad enough to cause such a big mess.

He placed the female snitch next to the wall, and out of prudence, he added another touch to the faint point to strengthen the effect of the point. He bent down and walked in the courtyard, checked the situation of this house, and found that there was no one in the courtyard, so he should have gone out to work during the day, so he was relieved.

He went around to the back of the house, turned on the system stable, and pulled out a black and white horse of suit. The system warehouse was opened again, and a rope and sack were taken out of it. When he came back, he put Xu Ruyi into a sack and fiddled it into a ball, so that his hands and feet were curled together. It is inevitable that there will be some skin-to-skin relatives in this process, but he only regards Xu Ruyi as an opponent in his heart, and he doesn't care too much about these things.

He tied the mouth of the sack with a rope, lifted it up and put it on the back of his horse, held it steady with his hands, and then went to the door with great dignity, drew his sword and swung it down, cut the lock, and pushed the door out.

This place is not too far from the street where Zhao Zheng threw money, and many people rushed to the street to see the excitement after hearing the news, and the street became deserted, with few pedestrians and no one noticing Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng led the horse back to the temporary residence not far from the house of the five ghosts who moved the mountain, moved Xu Ruyi off the horse, and carried him into the house. This girl also has a hundred and ten pounds. It's not light. But he lifted it effortlessly. It's like carrying a bag of fluttering cotton.

He released Xu Ruyi from the bag, tied it to the table legs, tied his hands and feet to death, and then massaged the acupoints, and spent a lot of effort to untie the faint points on Xu Ruyi's body.

Xu Ruyi woke up slowly, a half-moon-shaped gaze appeared under the curved eyelashes, and her eyelids slowly raised. A pair of smart eyes are revealed. After she saw Zhao Zheng clearly, her eyes froze, and she immediately resisted, but her hands and feet were tied, and she could only move around like a silkworm chrysalis.

Zhao Zheng had met Xu Ruyi on the street before, so he didn't make any more effort to hide his true face. He said leisurely: "Don't waste your efforts, with your internal strength, it is not enough to break these ropes, and with me here, even if you break free, it is useless." If I can catch you once, I can catch you a second time. ”

"What do I want to do when you caught me?" Xu Ruyi thought for a moment. Sure enough, he stopped struggling and asked calmly.

"I want to get back the wine you stole from you and your family."

As soon as she heard the word imperial wine, Xu Ruyi's pupils immediately shrank by three points, and her face turned much whiter.

"How much do you know?" Xu Ruyi asked.

"A lot, just a little less than you know." Zhao Zheng stretched out his index finger and thumb and gestured.

"Are you from the Cao family?"

"It's not."

"Then you're from the government?"

"Not really."

"Then you are ......"

"I am me, not under anyone's control, not belonging to any faction, you don't need to ask. Besides, in this case, I should ask you to answer. Zhao Zheng got up and pulled a chair over, sat down comfortably in front of Xu Ruyi, and then asked, "Where did you put the imperial wine after the five ghost families stole it?" Is it hidden under the courtyard where you are hiding? ”

"No comment." Xu Ruyi knew that this matter was related to the lives of the whole family, so it was naturally impossible to tell the truth obediently.

"Forget it if you don't say it, I don't like to be rough with women, I won't torture you, and I don't expect anything useful to come out of your mouth. I arrested you, firstly, to break your family's Five Ghost Mystery Killing Array, and secondly, to keep you as a hostage in your hands, as long as these two purposes are achieved, it is enough. ”

"You even know about the Five Ghost Killing Array?" Xu Ruyi's face became even more ugly.

"As I said, I know a lot."

Xu Ruyi looked at the seemingly harmless young man in front of him, and felt an unprecedented crisis in his heart, the other party's strength was not bad, and he knew their family very well, he was really a tricky rival. If they don't do it, their whole family will have to be planted in the hands of the young man in front of them.

"Please raise your noble hand, read the old and the young in our family, let our family a horse, the little woman has nothing to repay, and she is willing to be a cow and a horse for the young man in the next life." Xu Ruyi changed his strategy and pleaded pitifully.

"You know you're scared now? But have you ever thought about what consequences your family will bring to the Cao family after stealing all the imperial wine? The imperial wine is lost, the Cao family is guilty of dereliction of duty, and if the court investigates it, the Cao family will all suffer. There are old and young people in your family, but there are also old people and children in the Cao family. ”

"The lesson of Shaoxia is that I also advised my father and grandfather not to steal the Cao family's imperial wine, but they did not listen to my advice. If Shaoxia can let us go, I will definitely let all my family wash their hands, change their ways, and never do such a hurtful thing in the future. Xu Ruyi sobbed twice and squeezed out two crystal clear tears.

"Don't take a bite and say a chivalrous word, this word, I don't deserve it for the time being. I have a certain amount of selfishness in tracking down this batch of imperial wine, and it is not all for the Cao family, otherwise, I can directly inform the Cao family of this matter and let them deal with your family. ”

"Shaoxia, don't do this, if our family falls into the hands of the Cao family, the Cao family will definitely not spare us under the anger of the Cao family...... Even, it will even kill us all. When Xu Ruyi said this, a chill rose on his originally smooth back, and a little particle appeared.

Zhao Zheng stared at Xu Ruyi for a while, weighing how to deal with the family of the five ghosts who moved the mountain, and came to a conclusion.

The family of the five ghosts who moved the mountain is guilty, but the crime is not death, if the five ghosts are killed because of the theft of alcohol, or it is directly handed over to the Cao family, it is a little too hasty and too cruel. What's more, there are children like elves and ghosts in the family of the five ghosts, and such children should be dealt with lightly even if there is anything wrong.

In this matter, it is best to get a happy result, which not only allows the Cao family to recover the imperial wine, but also allows the five ghosts to learn a small lesson.

Zhao Zheng made up his mind and promised: "Okay, I promise you that I will not hand over your family to the Cao family, but I must chase back the imperial wine, which is related to the lives of the Cao family." ”

"Thank you Shaoxia for your kindness, please let me go, and I'll go home and let my family hand over all the imperial wine." Xu Ruyi turned his worries into joy.

"Don't be funny, how could I have let you go. Don't think I don't know your family's way of doing things, if I let you go, you will never go home obediently and beg your family to hand over the wine, but will unite your family to deal with me. Zhao Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Shaoxia's martial arts are strong, and he holds the handle of our family, how dare our family go against you, Shaoxia."

"The handle in my hand is you, only you are my biggest handle, I can't let you go, unless I can get my hands on the wine, and then I will consider letting you go." Until then, don't talk in vain. Zhao Zheng stood up from the chair, his eyes fell on Xu Ruyi from top to bottom, "You have been out for a long time, in order to avoid suspicion in your family's hearts, I can't delay any longer, I have to get up and set off now." You can just be wronged and stay here and sleep for a while. ”

"You're going to deal with my family now?" Xu Ruyi's face changed greatly.

"If I don't deal with your family, how can I get the imperial wine? Just pray that your family will be honest. If they agree to trade the wine with you, I can stop them, and if they don't know each other, don't blame me for having no eyes on my sword. ”

Xu Ru weighed his meaning again and again, bit his lip and said: "If this is the case, please take off a thing on my body as a token, they see that you have something on my body in your hand, thinking of my safety, they will not do anything with you again." ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhao Zheng's gaze swept around Xu Ruyi, looking for a suitable token. This female snitch is quite slender, and her hands and ankles are very good-looking.

"I have a jade pendant around my neck that I have worn for many years, and the young man can keep that jade pendant as a token." Xu Ruyi was uncomfortable and took the initiative to propose.

Zhao Zheng looked at Xu Ruyi's neck, where there was indeed a red line, clinging to the skin, extending down from the neckline, and submerging into the jade ditch. He stretched out his hand to pick it up, but he retracted his hand halfway, shook his head and said: "This jade pendant is your personal thing, if I reach out to get it, it will damage your innocence, so let's exchange it for a separate token." ”

Xu Ruyi looked down at her neckline, the jade pendant was close to her breasts, if it fell into the hands of a man, it was indeed a little inappropriate. She hadn't thought about it just now, and now that she thought about it, her face flushed twice.

"I still have a handkerchief in my pocket, and although it doesn't last long, my family can recognize it." Xu Ruyi's voice was three points lower.

"I don't want a handkerchief either, I have another token on you." Zhao Zheng's gaze fell on Xu Ruyi's face.

"What token?"

"The human skin mask on your face." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )

PS: I'm really sorry for the interruption for so many days. I won't talk about the reason for the break, it doesn't matter. I'll try to write as much as I can in the future.
