Chapter 377: Shadow Puppet
If Liu Zhi's death was specially arranged by the county government, then how similar is their situation to Liu Zhi tonight!
Yuan Chengde wanted to attack Li Dong......
This terrible thought flashed through the eldest grandson's mind.
The eldest grandson was about to step forward to warn, but his hands were grabbed by two miscellaneous servants, and at this time, the miscellaneous servants' eyes were shining with fierce light.
"I told you, stand behind our brothers, otherwise we won't be able to protect you......"
The sudden change in miscellaneous servants made the eldest grandson also feel a little frightened, it seems that he was calculated by Yuan Chengde from the beginning!
The eldest grandson was about to lift his breath and break away from the handyman's hand, and there was already a change in front of him.
"Boom!"
Li Dong's sedan chair was thrown to the ground, followed by Li Dong's shouting and scolding.
"Oops...... How do you brutes carry the sedan chair......"
Li Dong scolded and lifted the curtain, but what caught his eye was a garbage dump full of shadows in the dark, and a short shadow in the garbage dump was moving towards him in a strange posture.
Li Dong was frightened by the gloomy scene in front of him and shouted, "What about people! Come on, the murderer has appeared, hurry up and take down the ......"
But what frightened Li Dong even more was that at this time, the team of the county government formed a circle, but this encirclement was not aimed at the murderer in the garbage dump, but himself!
"Yuan Chengde! What are you doing with these dogs?! Don't come and protect me yet! ”
Li Dong was furious, but his invincible "official authority" lost its effect at this time, and the surrounding officials looked at Li Dong playfully like an eagle catching a chicken.
Surrounded by Li Dong were Chen Tian, Wu Qing and Changsun, and the four of them became the prey of the hunt.
"Lord Shangshu is angry, and the county government will do its best to protect your lordship!"
At this time, Yuan Chengde was "late", twisting his fat body and laboriously moving out of the sedan chair.
Li Dong looked at Yuan Chengde's funny appearance of "sincere fear", and then he regained a little calmness of the past, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth.
"You shit, don't you let these rice buckets work......"
At this time, Yuan Chengde finally moved out of the sedan chair and stood up straight with the help of his subordinates, he listened to Li Dong's insults, and walked to Li Dong's sedan chair unhurriedly, but this time he did not kneel and salute.
"Lord Shangshu can rest assured, the subordinates will definitely work after taking the money...... 'Lord Shangshu led the government officials to encircle and suppress the murderer, but the murderer was too strong, and the county government paid a heavy price and finally killed the murderer, but Lord Shangshu was unfortunately seriously injured and died in the encirclement and suppression...... 'Lao Yu will record it in the file at that time, remember to polish and polish again, and write the tragedy of the death of Lord Shangshu more tragically......"
Yuan Chengde said slowly and logically to a middle-aged catcher with a playful smile behind him,
It's just that at the end of the words, a chill has arisen in Li Dong's heart.
"Bastard! Yuan Chengde, what do you mean! ”
At this time, there was still a trace of flattery on the smile on Yuan Chengde's face, which was full of madness and gloom.
"Lord Shangshu hasn't understood yet? I'm arranging a decent future for you...... By the way, I forgot to ask for your opinion, do you still have an opinion on the dossier so recorded? ”
Li Dong was so angry by Yuan Chengde's rampant performance that he couldn't speak.
Yuan Chengde laughed, his bloated body trembling like an obese worm in the dark night.
After a while, Yuan Chengde's smile retracted, and his expression changed back to his previous condescending, looking down at Li Dong and the others.
"Li Dong, you are the head of the household, wouldn't it be good to enjoy it in the inner service area, you have to come to Kaicheng District to show off your might. If you can honestly go through the motions on this inspection, then you are still the admired 'Master Shangshu', but you want to check the east and the west......"
"Do you understand that there are some things and some people, even if you are the head of the household, you can't check it, and you can't afford to provoke ......"
The eldest grandson's face sank, he didn't expect that the current imperial capital had fallen to such a point, and a small seventh-grade official would dare to murder a third-rank important minister in the city!
But the eldest grandson understands why Yuan Chengde is so fearless.
Liu Zhi was killed under the deliberate arrangement of the county government, which fully shows that the murderer in the garbage dump is the "killer" raised by Yuan Chengde in captivity.
As for why Yuan Chengde left such a dangerous person in the Kaicheng District, the eldest grandson can't guess the whole reason, but he can speculate that this is a backhand that Yuan Chengde left for himself!
At this time, Changsun had basically determined that the disappearance case in Kaicheng District must be related to Yuan Chengde, and the murderer in the garbage dump was the best scapegoat after the thunderstorm of the disappearance case.
And the actions of the eldest grandson and Li Dong tonight gave Yuan Chengde a great opportunity.
"Originally, I was worried that pushing this murderer out would not be enough to convince the imperial court, but now that it's okay, even Lord Shangshu has died here, which shows how ferocious this murderer is......"
Li Dong's heart sank to the bottom, and it seemed that Yuan Chengde was determined to kill himself here.
Seeing that Li Dong was silent, the eldest grandson stood up and said, "Lord Zhixian is a good plan, but have you ever thought about what you will face if you kill us here?" ”
Yuan Chengde looked at the eldest grandson with interest with a cat-and-mouse expression, and motioned for him to continue.
"Behind Lord Shang Shu is Lord Shang Shuling, I don't need to remind you anymore. Not to mention that we died here, will you face the wrath of Lord Shang Shuling, do you think that blaming the missing person case on an unknown thief can deceive the imperial court and Dali Temple? ”
At this time, the eldest grandson moved Zhou Mi and Liu Xinyan out in an attempt to scare Yuan Chengde away.
But Yuan Chengde obviously had no fear, but laughed louder.
"You're right, of course I'm scared of Lord Shang Shuling and Master Zhou Mi...... Just ......"
"Nameless, you 'nameless' take yourself too seriously......"
Yuan Chengde's legs under his robe couldn't support his huge body, and he stretched out his hand to beckon the people to move the seats in the sedan chair down, and then sat in front of everyone.
"Nameless, since you are from Dali Temple, then you must know the 'Liu Zhi' in the file I handed to Dali Temple......
The eldest grandson was silent.
Yuan Chengde didn't care, and continued: "Do you know why I want to mention Liu Zhi in the entire dossier? Don't you think his death is a little abrupt in the dossier? ”
Chen Tian on the side was stunned, this was what was strange about him.
He looked through the file several times and found that there was only one murderous murder case, "Liu Zhi's Night Patrol", and he was still curious about why there was only this murder case.
Yuan Chengde did not give a direct answer, but continued to ask: "Do you know why I arranged for him to patrol at night when he first came to the county office?" ”
The eldest grandson still didn't answer, but Yuan Chengde's words solved another doubt for the eldest grandson.
When the miscellaneous servant revealed the secret of Liu Zhi's death to the eldest grandson, Changsun was curious, the murder of the poor people in Kaicheng District was known to everyone in the county, why didn't Liu Zhi know? even obediently obeyed the arrangement of the county government to patrol Wanmin Lane at night.
It turned out that Liu Zhi was a newcomer to the Kaicheng District and County Ya at that time.
The newcomer was calculated by Yuan Chengde, and there was only one possibility......
"That's right, he's the eyeliner planted in Dali Temple......"
"But so what? I didn't pinch my nose and admit it, but I lived in peace for so many years......"
"And nameless, you are what I want to give Dali Temple another wake-up call......"
"Don't stretch your hands that far!"
The eldest grandson frowned, not because he was frightened by Yuan Chengde's ruthlessness, but because he was a little shocked by his rampantness!
A small Qipin Zhixian dared to shout at Dali Temple.
But of course, the eldest grandson would not be stupid enough to think that Yuan Chengde had such capital, but the clan nobles behind him had such strength.
Offending the two major parties in the court at the same time, the eldest grandson didn't know if it was because the clan nobles were unwise, or if their strength was already so strong now.
But the eldest grandson had a faint conjecture in his heart about the nobles of the clan.
At this time, Yuan Chengde's momentum in the field completely crushed Li Dong and the eldest grandson, both of them fell into silence, but the other couldn't bear it.
"With so much nonsense, do you think you can take us down with just these shrimp soldiers and crab generals under your command?"
Wu Qing stood up and said.
Living in a simple and pure sect environment, Ling Wuqing was not good at these schemes, but he was not stupid, and Yuan Chengde's insidious rampant behavior at this time disgusted him.
Although before coming to Kaicheng District, he promised the eldest grandson to talk less and do more, but now he can't help it, and he is ready to teach this seven-grade sesame official a lesson.
Although Yuan Chengde didn't know who the person in front of him was, he could also detect his extraordinaryness by looking at Wu Qing's good image.
Yuan Chengde stood up and took a few steps back to open up the gap with a few people, and the surrounding officials immediately surrounded him to protect him.
Wu Qing smiled contemptuously and made a move.
Wu Qing looked weak, but when he made a move, he was full of fierceness.
It's just that because of the non-aggression of Wuqing's ten thousand laws, there is no true qi in his body, so what he shows at this time is completely physical.
However, if Wu Qing's true anger is exposed as soon as he comes up, I am afraid that all the officials will choose to disarm and surrender.
A martial artist above the sorcerer mirror is a god-like existence in the eyes of ordinary people.
Wu Qing's fierce rampage pointed directly at Yuan Chengde.
But Yuan Chengde's side named "Lao Yu" is also very skilled, and he was the first to react, and the Pu knife in his hand was like a poisonous tongue spitting out a letter, and quietly slashed at Wu Qing's wrist in the dark night.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Wu Qing's seemingly white and slender wrist was like an indestructible jade, and the strong shock transmitted back from the Pu knife made him almost lose his weapon.
"Grandma's, this kid is weird, let's go together!"
The people who were originally standing aside and watching the battle heard Lao Yu's shout, and they all pulled out the Pu knife on their waists.
Wu Qing shook his wrist lightly, Lao Yu's knife was considered to be huge in power among ordinary people, but for a giant monster like Wu Qing, it was not enough to see at all.
Wu Qing saw that the officials looked like they were facing a great enemy, and the stinky problem of "appearing in front of people" was committed again, and said with his hands behind his back: "I am a person who is jealous and hateful, and I am most disgusted by the villains who can only conspire and use methods, and today I will let you know what it means to have a heaven outside the sky!" ”
After Wu Qing's righteous and awe-inspiring declaration, the whole person was like a blue lightning bolt in the night sky, sweeping towards everyone.
Due to Wu Qing's special constitution of "ten thousand laws do not invade", there is no true qi in his body, and he often has to absorb the aura from other people's attacks to replenish his body in battle, and then return it to the other party for his own use in battle.
But what the eldest grandson had to admit was the power of the martial arts technique.
If you talk about the strength of the body alone, Wu Qing is the strongest opponent that Changsun has ever faced. Coupled with his repeated tempering of superb physical skills, in the case of hand-to-hand hand-to-hand combat, Wu Qing can sweep through a group of peers.
However, Wuqing also has a shortcoming, that is, a lack of actual combat experience, which is also the biggest reliance that the eldest grandson can match when he plays against Wuqing.
At this time, Wu Qing and the officials were playing more like a game of cat and mouse.
Due to the huge gap in strength, the eldest grandson did not rush to join the battle, but secretly observed the situation on the sidelines, especially vigilant against the "garbage dump murderer" in the distance.
At the same time, the eldest grandson also discovered the anomaly at the scene.
First of all, Li Dong, compared with the previous panic and anger, his expression at this time was not only calm, but even a little relaxed.
This made the eldest grandson feel strange, and the feeling was like the previous nervous and fearful performance.
At this time, Wu Qing was simply disguised, and his identity should not have been revealed, even if the current situation is that Wu Qing has the upper hand steadily, but Li Dong should not be so easy.
Could it be that he has other arrangements?
In addition, Chen Tian's performance also made the eldest grandson feel abnormal.
His attention seems to be more focused on the "junkyard murderer", and that attention is less like the locking of the murderer and more like a complex concern.
When the eldest grandson saw Chen Tian at the county office in the afternoon, he found that he seemed to be hiding something.
First of all, he is vague about the attack last night, and it is impossible for an old chaban like him to get nothing after a close encounter with the murderer.
In addition, there was another thing that made the eldest grandson feel strange, and it was this discovery that made the eldest grandson have a trace of suspicion about tonight's arrest from the beginning.
Last night, Chen Tian inspected the garbage dump and met and fought with the murderer. Now that the murderer's whereabouts have been exposed, why do they stay at the dump and wait to be killed?
If the murderer were a normal person, he would not have chosen this way, and he must have escaped from the garbage dump today.
Such a simple logic, but no one pointed it out from beginning to end, and everyone seemed to be sure that the murderer would not run away.
Even an old chaban like Chen Tian thinks so, which is enough to show that tonight's action is greasy!
When the eldest grandson was secretly analyzing, there were sudden changes on the field.
In the face of Wu Qing's easy offensive, seeing that the officials were about to be unable to support it, several old catchers led by Lao Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
"Use arcane arts!"
Lao Yu shouted.
The rest of the people had strange excitement in their eyes, as if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
I saw that many strange black runes suddenly crawled out of the bare necks and wrists of several people, and the feeling was like crawling out of the clothes with many black worms, spreading to the whole body.
Soon several people became eccentric "rune mummies".
Caught by the officials called "Wang Lao Liu" is a lean young catcher, usually the more clever of the officials, but after becoming a strange appearance at this moment, not only the eyes are more lively, but also reveal a strange bloodthirst.
"This fine-skinned, tender-skinned guy definitely has more delicious flesh......"
Wang Lao Liu muttered in a low voice.
"Don't keep your hands, the order of the adults is not to leave a living mouth......"
Lao Yu reminded loudly.
When Wang Lao Liu heard this, he complained with a little dissatisfaction: "I still want to make this guy into a 'shadow puppet'......"
Although Wu Qing didn't know what the "shadow puppet" in Wang Laoliu's mouth was, the officials looked at them with a different look after hearing the "shadow puppet".
There's craving, there's weirdness, and there's greed......
Lao Yu also seemed to be moved by what Wang Lao Liu said, and said with a little hesitation: "Let's take down the people first, and then talk about ......"
"Gotcha!"
Wang Lao Liu no longer suppressed the impulse in his heart, and rushed towards Wuqing with his knife.
I saw that the speed of Wang Laoliu, who had changed, had obviously improved, and with a black afterimage behind him, he appeared in front of Wu Qing like a ghost.
Despite this, Wu Qing still didn't care. In his view, this level of improvement is just a change from "slow walking" to "fast walking", and there will be no qualitative change in the situation.
Wang Laoliu's Pu knife roared, like a fierce wind rolling up in the night, rushing towards Wuqing's front door.
Wuqing is like a mountain standing proudly in the cold wind.
He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills!
Wu Qing raised his right hand, still choosing to take the white blade empty-handed.
But the next moment, Wu Qing suddenly let out a strange scream, quickly withdrew his right hand as if he had been electrocuted, and then retreated as quickly as a snake and scorpion.
On the other side, Wang Lao Liu saw Wu Qing dodging, and his momentum was even more vigorous, chasing Wu Qing and slashing.
The rest of the people saw that Wu Qing began to flee, and they joined the battle one after another, for fear that Wang Laoliu would swallow the results of the battle alone.
The situation on the field suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the officials also freed up their energy to deal with the eldest grandson and Li Dong.
"Lord Shangshu, if you obediently tie your hands and arrest you, you may be able to avoid the 'shadow puppet suffering', and I will also protect you with a whole corpse ......"
Lao Yu said to Li Dong.
Before Li Dong could speak, the eldest grandson took the lead in asking.
"What is a shadow puppet?"
