Chapter XVII

One day at the end of March, Su Mo, as usual, was practicing swords in the martial arts arena.

Kang Zheng came over in a hurry.

"Brother Kang, how do you have time to come over today? Do you want to have a discussion?" asked Su Mo.

Recently, he has been practicing knives a little hot, and he has also learned from several gangs in the manor.

Helplessly, these people couldn't even hold up his moves, and the sword technique was successful, but they couldn't try how powerful it was, which made him a little itchy for a while.

"Alas, Brother Xian, no, no. Kang Zheng hurriedly waved his hand.

He knew that Su Mo was now in the Bone Forging Realm, and the gap between the two was still a bit big, how could they compete?

"Brother Kang came over today, shouldn't there be any business to deal with?" Su Mo asked again.

"Exactly, and this time the matter is more tricky, and it even went to the headquarters of Danyang County. After the Ping Protector learned about this, he ordered us to find out as soon as possible. Kang Zheng spoke quickly, and his expression was quite solemn, it seemed that the incident was indeed a bit serious.

"All of you go to the council hall to gather, we have important matters to discuss today. After answering Su Mo, Kang Zheng shouted at the top of his voice.

......

A moment later, in the council hall.

At this time, all the gangs of the Dajiang Gang in Qingshi Town, except for those who left temporarily, had already arrived.

There are two wooden chairs in the center of the hall, on which Foreign Minister Kang and Li Lao sit respectively. In addition, there were two rows of wooden chairs on both sides, all the way to the door, and there were some helpers sitting on them, and Su Mo was among them.

"Brother Kang, what happened to him, why did he call everyone to the council hall in such a hurry?"

"That's right, from the middle of this month to now, there have been several murders in Peony Town, and about dozens of people have died, not counting those who are missing, it is estimated that there are many bad luck. ”

Kang's face was serious, and he said: "Also, one of our branch gangs, Xin Chenyi, also died in Peony Town. It was about March 16, and his body was found by fishermen on the edge of the Wei River, but the rest of the place was intact, but his throat was bitten and rotten!"

"Ahh......h Dead?!" Li Lao was a little incredulous.

He remembered that Xin Chenyi had taken leave with him, but he hadn't seen anyone for nearly half a month, and he thought that something urgent at home had happened and he couldn't return, but he didn't expect to die in Peony Town.

"Foreign Envoy, Brother Xin, isn't he a master of the Bone Forging Realm, how could he be killed?"

Thinking of Xin Chenyi's tragic death, Kang Zheng was so angry that he slapped the table.

There were only two masters of the Bone Forging Realm in the Dajiang Gang Branch, but now they broke one first, and they died as unjustly.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xin's body was examined by the yamen. He was struck by some kind of cartilage powder or something, so he was killed without being able to resist. But looking at the killing method, it doesn't seem to be man-made, but like it was bitten by some kind of beast. ”

"Let's talk about what you think about this. ”

Elder Li thought for a while and said, "Brother Kang, I remember that Peony Town is the area under the responsibility of the Jade Dragon Gang, why haven't they found out who did it?"

Kang Zheng shook his head and said, "If it is found out, there will be no need for us to go out." ”

Su Mo frowned and listened for a moment, unable to guess who did it for a while, and he also thought of the possibility that a certain demon had caused the incident.

The atmosphere in the council hall was somewhat oppressive.

"Brother Kang, why don't you send me to deal with this matter. Su Mo opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Brother Xian, you ...... Can it work?" Kang Zheng's tone was a little hesitant.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, try to know. Su Mo's words were not too full, it was true that he could deal with demons and ghosts, but if it was not demons and ghosts who harmed people, then he might not be able to find the murderer.

"Alright then, you can find a few helpers in the branch and let you send them on the way. ”

"It's okay to let Wang Dahu come with me, if there are more people, it will be easy to startle the snake. Su Mo said.

"That's right, so the matter is settled. ”

......

Two horses are unbeatable.

Starting from Qingshi Town, it took half a day, and Su Mo and the two finally arrived at Peony Town in the afternoon.

Speaking of this Peony Town, Su Mo also has some understanding.

There are some flower farmers who are good at planting flowers in Peony Town, and the peony flowers planted here are very famous in the entire Shu land, and they are even sent to Beilu City as a tribute.

In the council hall of the manor before, although Kang Zheng said some things about the bloody case in Peony Town, he didn't say it in detail after all.

If you come here this time, you still have to ask about the matters related to the case.

Su Mo drove his horse on the long street of Peony Town, and said to Wang Dahu: "Brother Wang, let's go directly to the Yamen." ”

Wang Dahu nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

The two rode to the end of the long street, and they could see the outline of the yamen residence, which was already very close to the north city gate.

When the two officials outside the mansion saw the black suits worn by Su Mo and the others, they naturally recognized them at a glance as members of the Dajiang Gang, and hurriedly came over and asked, "But the adults from the Dajiang Gang?"

"Exactly. Su Mo said.

"Your Excellency, please wait, let me go and report it. ”

Looking at the respectful look of the servant, Su Mo couldn't help but feel emotional.

He remembered what happened a month ago when he went to the yamen of Qingshi Town. If you compare it with this time, you can know that a person in a gang, even if it is an ordinary gang, has a very high status.

After a while, a fat adult in an official uniform walked out. He first glanced at Su Mo and Wang Dahu, one of them had an ordinary appearance, black and thin. One looked like five big and three thick, with a fierce face.

However, the clothes of the Dajiang Gang worn by the two of them were not fake, so they clasped their fists at Su Mo and said, "Two envoys, please come with this official." ”

Su Mo handed the reins to a servant on the side, and immediately followed the fat magistrate into the county office.

All the way through the corridor to the hall where the guests were gathered.

"This official Peng Wenyan, I don't know what the two envoys are called?"

"Su Mo. ”

"Wang Dahu. ”

After simply changing his name, Su Mo casually glanced around.

After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came over with three cups of tea.

Peng Zhixian glanced at Su Mo and the others, and felt that this Wang Dahu was more like the person in charge this time, so he said to him: "Brother Wang, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food." As for matters related to the case, when the people from the Jade Dragon Gang come over, everyone will discuss it together, what do you think?"

Wang Dahu hurriedly glanced at Su Mo, and hurriedly explained: "Peng Zhixian, this matter is handled by Brother Su with full authority, and Wang is a rough person, and he is just a fool." ”

"If there is such a thing, then who is this Brother Su?"

"Brother Su is an elite gang member of the Dajiang Gang Branch, and he is also a master of the Bone Forging Realm. ”

"I see, it's the official who has no eyes," Peng Zhixian sneered: "But I see that Brother Su is not very old, and he is in response to the sentence that a hero is a young man." ”

"Peng Zhixian has a good reputation. Su Mo said with a smile.

"Heh, those two are waiting here for a while, and the official still has something to deal with, so he will retire first. ”

Su Mo raised his hand and said, "Please." ”
