Chapter 18 Cheng Deed

Xie Lingxu saw that he ignored Xiao Qixin and directly called King You's name, but didn't take Xiao Qixin in his eyes at all. But if he didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten about this king who followed all the way but didn't say a word.

Xie Lingxu took a step back, moved to Chu Xiu's side and asked, "What is the identity of this person?" โ€

Chu Xiu swallowed his saliva and said in a mosquito-loud voice:

"Cheng Qi, the leader of the Dragon Brake Gang, used to be a general under the command of General Tan Meng of the Imperial Forest Army of the previous dynasty, and our commander had to call him Uncle Cheng. Even if the two legs are abolished, it is still a man of the hour who can be put into ten at a time, and for some reason he became the leader of the Dragon Brake Gang and started an improper business. โ€

Xie Lingxu glanced at the helper who was sitting, only to feel that this person was about in his early forties, and his body naturally exuded a formidable aura, which did seem to have a kind of general demeanor, but in fact, Cheng Qi's eyebrows were originally upright and hard, but for some reason they were covered by a strong murderous aura, which was inexplicably terrifying.

The king of You, who had been silent all the way, seemed to be forced to speak:

"Uncle Cheng, there was a murder yesterday, and the Underworld Army was ordered to come to investigate."

Gang Master Cheng sneered: "Hmph, is there no one in the palace, this kind of trivial thing has to be done by the Underworld Army, Yan Moheng, what does the court think of you?" โ€

King You's expression was cold, and he ignored his words: "You don't have to worry about this, does the murder of the Liujin pawnshop have anything to do with you?" โ€

Gang Master Cheng seemed to deliberately not answer King You's question, and bent on bringing him to the side:

"Who is the emperor now? Oh...... It seems to be the ...... Useless Luo Fan, I calculate, how many years can this country be in his hands......"

Youwang: "I just ask, do you know the owner of the Liujin pawnshop?" โ€

Cheng Qi supported his chin with his hand, and his eyes were meaningful: "Yan Moheng, is it worth selling your life to such a person?" โ€

King You was a little angry, and his bony hand lay on the Jin Evil Sword:

"Cheng Qi, in the past, you were a general, I respect you, and now ...... You are a thief, do you really think I dare not kill you? โ€

Cheng Gang Master casually straightened his clothes:

"What do I know, what do I don't know, what is a person's life compared to the interests of the royal family? If you think I killed someone, then you can look it up. You know it yourself, but I'm afraid that no matter what you do, it's just in vain. โ€

Xie Lingxu didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, but only faintly felt that there might be other meanings in his words......

King You's expression was serious, and he ordered the Underworld Army: "Search." Then he looked at Cheng Qi silently.

Xie Lingxu saw that Chu Xiu, who was usually alive and kicking, was also frighteningly cold at the moment, his frowning brows were twisted like twisted flowers, and he pursed his lips and looked at the confronting King You and Cheng Gang Leader in front of him. Xie Lingxu knew that he was worried about King You, but he didn't quite understand what he was worried about......

After about ten minutes, I heard Zhao Luo and a group of people report to King You: "Boss, I just found a few boxes of gold, silver and porcelain in the warehouse, and there is a seal of a gold pawnshop at the bottom of the box. โ€

King You's face didn't change, and he turned his face to look at Gang Master Cheng.

Gang Master Cheng was not shocked: "Yes, I bought a few boxes of things from Boss Tong, but what does that mean, is it necessary to kill people if you buy something?" โ€

Xie Lingxu looked at his calm face, and thought to himself, he was right, the goods in the Liujin pawnshop could not be counted as evidence at all, and if he really wanted to clear up the relationship from the beginning, he could replace the box containing things, which was not a difficult thing for him, and now it seems that Cheng Gang Master didn't take the transaction with Boss Tong to heart at all.

Seeing that King You was silent, Cheng Gang moved his neck and began to say something else:

"Yan Moheng, I, Cheng Qi, have fought for decades and worked hard for the imperial court, but what happened in the end? Yes? When you are needed, drain your essence and blood, give you some meager benefits, and when you spoil the affairs of those dog officials, you are useless and abandon them like a shoe. What about the emperor? Does the emperor care about you? He only has his bullshit in his heart, and he wishes that those of us who are useless to him would die! โ€

King You: "Cheng Qi, the court is unfair to you, but Tan Meng treats you well, what is the difference between you betraying the court and opposing Tan Meng?" โ€

When Gang Master Cheng heard Tan Meng's name, his expression softened a lot:

Tan Shuai...... General Tan ....... "Huh...... You know, Tan Shuai suffered countless illnesses and injuries on the battlefield in the early years, and he fell into a lot of diseases, and every rainy season, his back hurts unbearably. Tan Shuai is now in his sixties, and it is time to enjoy the blessings, but why does the imperial court ...... Why did he go on the expedition! Do you have to run out of energy? โ€

King You didn't know what to say, and his expression darkened a little......

Cheng Qi: "Besides, Yan Moheng, you are wrong, I didn't betray the court, I just took back what the court owed me in my previous life." Hum...... Do you know how many shady businesses there are in the palace? I Cheng Qi took over the business of these dog officials, and I watched like this, watching these people corrupt little by little, and watching the court rot little by little. This is what the world forced me to do, and it was the court that forced me. โ€

Xie Lingxu looked at the hideous-looking Cheng Gang Master in front of him, and couldn't say anything in his heart, Cheng Gang Master may have been an upright and resolute soldier, but the people around him, the things he experienced, slowly turned a person beyond recognition, peeling off only the darkest shell.

Xie Lingxu began to think about the past, and then thought that this is not the case, now is not the time to listen to the story, Cheng Bang's main drama is too strong, and he can't bring it in...... I sorted out my thoughts and observed him carefully......

After looking at him for a long time, Xie Lingxu found that he was holding a very precious yellow rosewood crutch, and the crutch did not leave his hand for a moment. Xie Lingxu turned his face and asked Chu Xiudao:

"Does that cane in his hand have some origins?"

Chu Xiu nodded: "Yes, Cheng Qi was punished at that time, and after breaking a leg, Tan Shuai felt sorry for him, and spent half of his life savings to make a pear wood crutch for Cheng Qi, it is said that Cheng Qi regarded this thing as a treasure and took it with him wherever he went." โ€

Xie Lingxu: "Then Cheng Gang Master and Tan Meng have a good relationship, right?" โ€

Chu Xiu: "They are ......, they are as close as father and son, I heard that the relationship is extremely close in private, and Tan Shuai also suffered a lot of injuries for Cheng Qi back then. It's just that now the two are different and don't conspire with each other, and gradually there is no communication. โ€

Xie Lingxu nodded, looked at the Cheng Gang Master who was a little excited in front of him, and secretly thought about something......

Cheng Qi: "Yan Moheng, you know that sooner or later this country will be buried in the hands of others, so you just need to defend it senselessly, don't you feel unwilling?" With your ability, more than that, you spend your whole life in the palace, you are practicing yourself. People want money, power, and themselves. โ€

Xie Lingxu thought to himself that this Cheng gang leader was trying to fool King You and make him rebel? The heart says that the king of you is not a person who does not enter the firewood and rice, and he is not stupid, how can he rebel because you say a few words and say that he will rebel.

Youwang still has a poker face, "Shut up, Cheng Qi...... You are crazy. Xiao Qixin, let's go back. โ€

Seeing that King You's expression was indifferent and did not waver in the slightest, Gang Master Cheng had a somewhat crazy expression......

Cheng Qi: "Can you tell me, how is Tan Shuai doing recently?" โ€

King You was silent for a moment and did not answer his question, Xie Lingxu felt that the opportunity had come and took a step forward.

Xie Lingxu: "I know...... General Tan recovered from a serious illness a few days ago, and his health has been getting better recently. โ€

King You slowly turned his face and looked at Xie Lingxu, who was as pale as usual. Chu Xiu took a step forward, pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered, "You-"

Seeing that the woman he had never met before, Cheng Gang suddenly spoke, frowned and leaned against the back of the chair and asked:

"Who are you?"

Xie Lingxu shook off Chu Xiu, who was pulling his sleeves, and walked towards the Cheng Gang Master:

"I am the goddaughter recognized by General Tan, and he often mentions you to me."

Xie Lingxu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he felt that his nonsense skills were simply self-taught, and he had already practiced perfectly.

Gang Master Cheng smiled faintly, and didn't believe the woman in front of him without much heart, and his face was a little more kind:

"Really? He's ...... What was said? โ€

Xie Lingxu: "He said you...... Very talented, a capable person, just ...... The resentment is too heavy, and I accidentally went astray. โ€

Gang Master Cheng smiled even more, thinking that it would be good for General Tan's character to think like this: "Tan Shuai is right, I can't be as he wants after all, and I can't become a person like him." You said...... Tan Shuai was in poor health a few days ago, is there anything wrong? โ€

Xie Lingxu: "Ah...... General Tan is okay, but his body is a little unstable, and he can't hold the pen steadily when writing. By the way, he wrote a letter to me a few days ago, does Cheng Bang mainly read it? โ€

Cheng Qi's eyes moved, and his thin fingertips trembled slightly: "Show me." โ€

Xie Lingxu took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and handed it to Gang Master Cheng half a foot away. Cheng Qi let go of the hand that had been placed on the crutch, the spherical crutch was carved with a gilded dragon entrenched on it, which looked very powerful and domineering, he got up and took the letter with both hands, spread it out and looked at it.

Xie Lingxu looked at the gradually gloomy face of the Cheng Gang Master, smiled secretly in his heart, stretched his neck to look at the piece of paper, and said:

"Oops, I'm sorry, I seem to have taken it wrong!"

Cheng Qi was stunned, thought of something, looked enlightened, sneered and pinched the confession of the case in his hand, and returned to his seat to put his hand on the crutch.

Gang Master Cheng sat down slowly, looking at Xie Lingxu with a strange expression:

"Girl, it's a pity for you to stay in the Underworld Army......"

Xie Lingxu put his hands behind his back and looked cold: "It's okay." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

The silence for a long time was a little stinging, and Xie Lingxu felt that the person he offended this time was probably a little difficult to deal with, so he worried about himself by himself.

Cheng Qi looked at the people in front of him with some annoyance, and said angrily: "Go back if it's okay, my Longsha Gang is not a place where you people can come whenever you want." Drop-offโ€”"

Cheng Gang raised his eyes after speaking: "By the way, who let them in just now?" โ€

The little ghosts around all pointed to the side, and the man who fell to his knees suddenly "plopped" in fright.

Gang Master Cheng didn't care about the man's dead face, nor did he give him a chance to beg for mercy, and directly commanded with a grim face: "Chop him into mud for me...... Feed the dog! โ€

Xie Lingxu saw that Cheng Gang Leader suddenly closed his eyes, tilted his head exaggeratedly and sniffed the air around him, and said with a look of intoxication: "Hiss...... Mo Heng, do you smell it? It's the smell of evil things! โ€

As he spoke, he opened his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxu meaninglessly: "It seems that the show is about to start." I'll wait and see you guys...... How to act. โ€
