Chapter 21: The Murderer, Jing VII.
The case of more than a dozen lives occurred in the Zhongzhou county government during the New Year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Among the dead are Huang Juncai, the only son of Huang Batian, the richest man in Hengshui, and the gray-eyed Zen master, the great elder of the Immortal Soul Gate!
This kind of murder involving cultivators in the city was enough to alarm the imperial court. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole city of Zhongdu was under martial law, and the Zhongzhou Catchers led hundreds of Black Wind officials to launch a city-wide search.
Although the whole thing was not provoked by Xu Feng on his own initiative, if it was to be made public to the official mansion, the Huang family, the power behind the Immortal Soul Gate was enough to make a small person like Xu Feng die, and there would be no scum left. Not to mention Xu Feng, even the Akita Gang, whose sphere of influence spans several states, cannot afford to kill on this scale.
Six Feet Alley, Jing Qi carefully put away the Akita Gang's short knives, arrows, and anything that might reveal his identity. More than a dozen corpses strewn across the streets, frozen by the cold wind, the snow mixed with the frozen blood, mixed with an unsightly crimson color.
Jing Qi, who was picking up the short knife, suddenly had a hint of alarm in his heart, and when he looked back, there seemed to be a breeze on the wall of the alley dozens of zhang away that had rolled up some residual snow. Jing Qi, who was thoughtful, immediately noticed that the snow on the wall was significantly lighter than in other places.
Jing Qi's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
As night fell, the city quieted down after a noisy day, with the occasional bark of dogs in the distance.
Under the cover of night, the Black Wind Servants of the Great Xia Empire marched in all directions. In the snow, black shadows flashed quickly through the doors of each house, followed by a long, thin-necked wolf dog.
In the dark night sky, a blue bright spot suddenly appeared about two feet high, flickering in the silent streets and alleys, swaying dexterously from side to side, revealing an indescribable strangeness.
In other words, there are indeed demons in this world. But they were all isolated in the vast Tianfeng Mountain Range by the masters of the Sanqing Daomen with formations, and it was rare to see ordinary people, especially in the city and city, not to mention demons, even human demons.
An experienced veteran catcher was leading dozens of Black Wind Guards through the streets and alleys, and immediately noticed the strange blue color of the night sky. The old catcher stood still for a moment, slowly pulled out the matching knife on his body, and beckoned all the officials to walk towards the blue bright spot together.
The strange thing is that as soon as the officials chase, the blue light runs in front, the officials stop, and the blue light also stops, no matter how fast or slow the officials chase, the blue light always keeps a certain distance in front like leading the way.
In the night of the city-wide search, the yamen arresters naturally focused on the four sides of the city gate, because the case occurred near the central streets and alleys, and if the murderer did not go out of the city within a limited time, he should also hide in the poor areas around the city gate, and when the city gate opened early tomorrow morning, he would take the opportunity to sneak out of the city.
The blue light was like a ghost fire in the dark night, leading a group of black-clothed officials to zigzag forward in the streets and alleys of Zhongzhou County Government.
Judging from the route guided, it actually leads straight to the center of the city, and it is getting closer and closer to Six Feet Lane, where the crime occurred.
The most dangerous place is not necessarily the safest place. Xu Feng and the others were unable to travel far due to their serious injuries, and the place where they settled was only separated by a wall from Six Feet Lane.
The door of the house was closed, the candles were shining brightly, and the hall was bright.
Jiang Liao, who was hit by the divine thought, was still unconscious, temporarily placed on a wide door panel, dozens of sword wounds on his body had been treated, his breathing was still steady, and the room was filled with a strong smell of potions.
Xiaoying, who is as gentle as jade on weekdays, seems to have changed after experiencing this incident, the jade face is as cold as frost, sitting quietly next to Xu Feng, bandaging the wounds on Xu Feng's body without saying a word.
Knowing that Xu Feng was killing for the first time today, Jing Qi secretly admired it in his heart. For killing, I am already very talented, but I didn't expect that there are others stronger than myself.
The injury has been dealt with, because the physical strength of the excessive blood loss is slowly recovering, Xu Feng said calmly to Jing Qi: "Even if you get to the official mansion, things can still turn around slowly, there is no need for the Akita Gang to be involved, without further ado, you can leave now." ”
Jiang Liao was already seriously injured and unconscious, and his life and death were uncertain, and Xu Feng really didn't want to involve another brother because of this matter.
I used the token to recruit the Akita Gang just to strengthen my momentum, I didn't want Jing Qi's token to be so important in the Akita Gang, and the men sacrificed their lives to fight for death, Huang Juncai actually looked up to himself so much, and hired more than a dozen dead soldiers and a divine mind master.
Jing Qi knew what was at stake. Zhongzhou County Government, in broad daylight, more than a dozen lives, if it is purely a fire between gangs, it is just a fire, and it also involves local wealthy families and sect cultivators. Things have long been beyond the scope of the Akita Gang's little incense master.
Xu Feng said yes. Although the management system of the Great Xia Empire is extremely corrupt, it still has a very good set of ways to deal with cases, whether it is the murder of ordinary people or the murder of cultivators, the imperial yamen has a strategy to deal with.
Because every case is an opportunity in the eyes of Yousi, an opportunity to make money, even if you can't get money, you can get favors, even favors from big people.
Jing Qi didn't answer, thought quietly for a moment, showed an overly bright smile to Xu Feng again, greeted him, and led everyone out of the courtyard.
Walking outside the courtyard gate, beckoning, several henchmen took out a prepared stretcher from somewhere, Jing Qi lay down on the stretcher, and several people quickly walked into the vast night.
This is Jing Qi's style, to be a man and do everything!
Sure enough, a group of people just turned out of the alley, and saw a faint blue light, which saw a few people carrying stretchers on the opposite side, as if there was life, and rose to a few feet high in the air with a whoosh, and then exploded in the air with a bang, and the entire street was suddenly illuminated as bright as day.
The officials immediately rushed up, and a grim smile overflowed on Jing Qi's face.
............
Chunhua five years, the beginning.
A big case occurred in Liuqi Lane in Zhongdu: Akita helped a incense master to help the people kill the great elder of the Immortal Soul Gate in broad daylight, the young master of the Huang family in Hengshui and a large number of dead soldiers, and the scene of the crime was like the Shura region, which was unbearable.
What's even more bizarre is that the black wind officials of the Zhongzhou County Government actually followed a ghost fire to find the murderer, and it is rumored that it was because the people died too miserably, and they couldn't see it, so they turned into ghost fire to guide the way, and let the government avenge themselves.
No matter what kind of legend, an indisputable fact is that the murderer, Jing Qi, quickly spread all over the country in the name of cruelty and ruthlessness.
Of course, this is just a judgment on the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner. The real thing is much more complicated than people think.
Sendai, the largest city in Chushu outside of the prefecture capital, is known for its thriving trade throughout the continent.
The head of the Akita Gang, the tall and burly gang leader Tian Wuchang, sat on the main seat of the door with an angry face.
From time to time, angry roars rang out in the hall.
"Why, you say why!?"
Seven hall masters and sixteen incense masters stood solemnly under the hall, all of them bowed their heads, not daring to look back at the sight of the helper, let alone speaking.
Everyone knows that the helper treats Jing Qi well and treats him as his own descendant. Jing Qi also lived up to expectations, becoming the youngest incense master of the Akita Gang, the sharpest fast knife, and in the past few years, he has traveled south and north, adding a lot of weight to the three words of the Akita Gang on the rivers and lakes.
"For the sake of three outsiders! Six died! Eight were locked up in the yamen! Brothers of the Akita Gang, why is their lives so cheap!"
Several hall masters' faces were blue and purple for a while, and an old and serious hall master, looking at the angry helper, mustered up the courage to say something, and finally took it back.
"I know that Xiao Qi is righteous and easy to be taken advantage of, so I don't take precautions in advance. You, one by one, are all rice buckets!"
Everyone knows the special significance of Jing Qi in the Akita Gang. joined the gang at the age of seven, starting from the most basic handyman, he is low-key and resolute, and he is even more righteous. Although he was young, he became a banner of the Akita Gang, and even became the idol of countless poor teenagers on both sides of the river, and many outstanding young people of the Akita Gang gathered under Jing Qi and became a new force in the gang. Jing Qi's accident is not only a loss of people and property for the Akita Gang, but also a loss of reputation.
Because of such a shocking murder case, Jing Qiyi and others were caught by the county government as a hole card in their hands, and there were even the Huang family and the Immortal Soul Gate behind them, which was indeed not an easy thing to deal with.
After a long time, Tian Wuchang finally calmed down, and his face gradually turned from anger to sadness.
Xu Xu said: "It is difficult to raise a dragon in the shallow sea, Hu Renyi, you bring enough gold, go to the county government, and give Xiao Qi a freedom." ”
