Chapter 35: The Morning Light
Among the three cities in Lane 17 of Donggang Town, only the riverside night market where the silver hook fang is located is not often visited by people from Donggang Town.
The riverside night market is mainly a night fish row wine shop, a flower kiln, and some black market trading places with improper sources, this kind of gold selling place, even if the serious people in the town want to come, it is impossible to have enough silver to come. And this riverside night market is a lantern hanging color at night, the lights are red and green, the warbler sings and swallows dances, reflecting the red of this whole inner bay shallows, I am afraid it is also the most prosperous place on the river, but in the daytime, there are few people here, especially in this early morning, some garbage produced by the jubilation of yesterday night in the river is mixed in the white foam between the boats, and all the filthy things that are difficult to see at night are flooding up in the river, so that this place does not have half a sense of beauty at this time.
The silver hook workshop is only made into the shape of a painting boat, but in fact it is a multi-story pavilion, which is fixed on this shallow, very large and magnificent.
Seeing Lin Xi's arrival in the workshop, many of the people who had been holding rotten vegetable leaves, eating leftover wine and vegetables and other things on the silver hook workshop and throwing those black-clothed men did not change their arrogance a little, so that many of them looked at the young man in green shirts who boarded the boat with contempt and provocation.
"In Xia Gao Zhe, he is the owner of this silver hook workshop, I don't know what his intention is to arrest the lord to board the ship?"
Gao Zhe, who was dressed in a light white silk shirt, greeted him, bowed and saluted, deliberately so loudly that everyone on the shore could hear it.
This white-faced, beardless, middle-aged man with the appearance of a scribe seemed to have a hangover that had not disappeared, and there was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body. When he said such a sentence, Gao Zhe looked at the towering young man in green shirt in the sun, so much so that he felt a little pity.
He knew that the other party's mind and methods were definitely not as immature as his appearance, and he could be regarded as a heroic figure on this Xijiang River.
But he admits that he is the owner of this Silver Hook Workshop, what evidence can this young man in green shirt find to prove that Xu Chengfeng is the real owner of the Silver Hook Workshop?
And what evidence can he find today? So after today, this Silver Hook Workshop is destined to be here in good condition, but this Lin Ti can only leave the scene gloomily.
"Everyone on the Silver Hook Workshop came out one by one to record their identities clearly, according to Yun Qin Law, involving a murder case, if the confession is false when handling the case, the punishment will be increased, and the security circumstances will be confiscated for one to five years. ”
But what made Gao Zhe's brows frown slightly was that Lin Xi didn't see him at all, and just said this calmly.
It was precisely because even the person in charge of this boat was ignored, Lin Xi's words and look at the moment also made all the arrogant and domineering people on the ship, and even those who did not change a little when he boarded the ship were quietly in their hearts.
Liang Sansi and the rest of the catchers also boarded this magnificent Silver Hook Workshop, since the real dragon boat and the simple old woman appeared, this ordinary catcher who had been doing nothing in the town and had been drifting with the tide for many years also began to ignite an unusual fire in his heart, especially when the blood on the simple old woman's forehead stained the stone road of Donggang Town, this fire had completely burned in his body.
In this life, after all, people have to do something meaningful.
Looking at Lin Xi's cold back, he took a deep breath and urged those in the Silver Hook Workshop who had not yet made a move with unprecedented sharpness: "Don't delay the time, come and record!"
A man from the Silver Hook Workshop walked out, and in addition to the boys, buddies, and singers in the workshop, the people gathered on the beach also saw many faces that were not unfamiliar.
An old man in his fifties, also wearing an ordinary green shirt, lowered his head and walked out with his sleeve covering his face.
But because there are so many people gathered on this beach and the rows floating nearby, there are still many people who recognize him at a glance.
"This is Lu Zhaoji in Qinghe Town!"
"No wonder Lord Lin said that... Unexpectedly, there are many people who are seated in this boat. ”
"No wonder Feng Zeyi went to Qinghe Town to report the case, but it was not accepted, he just reported the case of disappearance, so it is!"
“......”
Yun Qin's Shangshu Zhong is the official position of the official department is the eighth grade, in charge of statistics on the progress of specific local affairs in each department, and report on the sparse, although not as good as the town governor has real power, but the official rank is also the same as the town governor, is already one of the highest official ranks among the civil officials in the town, this Qinghe town Shuzhong Lu Zhaoji should also be a beautiful man when he was young, although he is old at the moment, but he still has a good demeanor, but he heard the louder and louder voices of discussion around here, and heard that the arrest room was not allowed to leave after registration, and all the personnel gathered under this boat first, this civil official who usually has a reputation in Qinghe Town is still able to know that he is afraid that the reputation accumulated by him will be ruined, The elegant face also completely turned into the color of sauce pork liver, and he couldn't help but yell at Lin Xi: "Lin Tizhuo, can't you have some preferences as an official! If you do this today, if you can't find anything, I will definitely not let you go." ”
"Lord Lu, you have lost your temper. ”
However, in the face of his roar, Lin Xi just glanced at him lightly, and added, "What if it is found out?"
Just when Lu Zhaoji also felt out of shape and was sluggish, Xu Chengfeng, who was also escorted to the Silver Hook Workshop, glanced at Gao Zhe as if he was inquiring, and Gao Zhe quietly bowed his head towards him.
Lin Xi saw the change in Xu Chengfeng's expression in the afterglow of his eyes, and when he turned his head, Xu Chengfeng not only did not restrain himself, but instead showed a more and more smug and provocative look.
Another official stepped out of the Silver Hook Workshop.
This is an official from the internal affairs department of Yanlai Town, but after this official was recognized, he did not rebound, but stood in the crowd with his eyebrows lowered.
All the personnel in the Silver Hook Workshop were emptied, and they stood on the river row below, the huge building was empty, and all the closed doors and windows were opened.
Liang Sansi, Du Weiqing and others began to search room by room, and the search was extremely careful, even some walls were carefully knocked with their hands, and the more they didn't notice, the more nervous Du Weiqing and the others became... According to the many traces of this night, as well as the performance of these people, plus some previous rumors, Du Weiqing, an old catcher, was sure that the Silver Hook Fang was secretly filthy to the extreme, but there was no definite evidence, even if he knew the darkness in it, he couldn't cure these people's sins at all.
As the rooms passed, and saw that only five or six rooms had not been searched, but still nothing was found, the old catcher, who had been tired all night, began to sweat profusely, sweating his forehead, and wetting his catcher suit.
"Although our business in Silver Hook Shop is better, we have suffered from some people's dissatisfaction and have not done enough, but we have always done serious business. ”
Seeing that the search was coming to an end, Gao Zhe turned his head and looked at Lin Xi, Zhang Erye and the others with a deep smile, and said, "If the arresting lord feels that the search is not careful enough, he can still search again, or he can come to check it often on weekdays." ”
Hearing this, many people on the riverbank who also felt that there was a problem with the Silver Hook Fang were nervous, and while gritting their teeth in anger, they also began to worry about Lin Xi, Zhang Erye and others.
Gao Zhe thinks that he is the owner of the Silver Hook Workshop, if he does not find out the conclusive evidence, it will be difficult to pull Xu Chengfeng in, and his words are already implicitly accusing Lin Xi of not getting benefits, so he entangled Zhang Erye and others to take the opportunity to make trouble.
"No need to search. ”
But at this moment, Lin Xi frowned slightly, but he spoke calmly, which made Du Weiqing and the others and the people watching on the riverbank and shallows all stunned.
"Presumably you already have some means, and it seems that it is just a waste of their strength to search again. In that case, I'll have to use my own methods. Just when the eyes of Lian Zhanshan, Gao Zhe and others all stayed on Lin Xi's body curiously, Lin Xi turned around calmly, looked at Xu Chengfeng, and said this.
"What else can you do?" With Xu Chengfeng's family background, he didn't take Lin Xi's small official rank in his eyes, the only thing that made him have some scruples was Lin Xi's identity as a cultivator, but so far this night, the other party has embarrassed him, but it has completely exceeded his bottom limit, plus at this moment, knowing that the other party has no evidence, he became more and more ruthless and cold, and indirectly stepped forward, looked at Lin Xi and said: "You have determined that I am guilty? But what can you do with me?" Even if you see with your own eyes that I did it, you alone will not be able to convict me, what can you do?"
"Your words and deeds make me believe that you are the true owner of this Silver Hook Workshop. Lin Xi looked at the imposing Xu Chengfeng and said calmly.
"So what?" Xu Chengfeng squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a wicked smile: "Without evidence, you can only be pinched to death by me at that time." ”
"If I am convinced, I will be able to use my methods. ”
Facing Xu Chengfeng's treacherous smile, Lin Xi replied lightly, and then he stretched out his hand, grabbed Xu Chengfeng's neck with his left hand, and stabbed the long sword in his right hand into Xu Chengfeng's chest.
A sword tip peeked out from Xu Chengfeng's back.
Originally, the long sword in Lin Xi's hand was constantly wrapped in cloth, and now Lin Xi also indirectly pierced into Xu Chengfeng's body with cloth, and now the tip of the sword pierced through the wrapped cloth, pierced Xu Chengfeng's flesh and blood, and leaked out from Xu Chengfeng's back, and everyone saw that his sword was pale cyan, just like the morning light at this time.
The smugness and hideousness on Xu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned into fear and disbelief, and even Zhan Shan and everyone else were stunned for a moment, "Lin Xi, you dare to know the law and break the law, and commit murder on the spot!"
"If you come here, he'll die right away. ”
Lin Xi held the long sword in his hand steadily, did not look at Lian Zhanshan and the others, just looked at the blood that extended out of the sword, looked at Xu Chengfeng and said: "I'll give you another chance, if you don't tell the truth I want to hear, the sword in my hand will immediately move a few times in your body, cutting your heart... Also, you'd better be quicker, or you won't survive even if I don't assassinate you anymore and heal you more slowly. ”
