Volume 1 The Land of Ashes Chapter 23 I don't agree
It's Black Armor!
Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che suddenly tensed up.
They didn't have time to think about why Black Armor was able to find this place so quickly, and almost subconsciously looked around, trying to find an object for self-defense.
At the same time, Mr. Luo and the fairy spirit, who were busy in the back room, also walked out quickly, and at the same time, Mr. Luo glanced sideways at Chu Qingxiao and signaled him to be calm.
"Who are the feet? Why did you trespass on my study? When he came to the door of the study, Mr. Luo looked at the black armor standing at the door, his face was not afraid, and he asked loudly at that time.
This noise also made the surrounding pedestrians gather around from afar, pointing and pointing at the place.
The black armorers in front of the door just stared down at the thin scholar in front of them, and there was a fierce light surging in their eyes behind the black iron mask.
Chu Qingxiao and the others, who had already fought with Heijia several times, knew very well that these Heijia were just puppets manipulated by others, and they were obviously not afraid of the so-called human words and laws.
Chu Qingxiao was worried about Mr. Luo's situation, and his nerves suddenly tensed, Chu Zhaozhao heard the sound, and also got up from the bed, and stood behind Mr. Luo with Chu Qingxiao, staring at the place nervously.
The fierce light in the black armor's eyes was even worse, and the leader stepped out with one foot at this moment, and the iron boots fell to the ground, and the snow stains splashed.
At that moment, the killing machine densely covered the study, enveloping the scholars.
Chu Qingxiao's heart was already in his mind, and he almost subconsciously wanted to step forward.
But before his foot was raised, he was pulled by Chu Zhaozhao behind him.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and was about to ask.
At this time, outside the door of the study, behind the black armor, a voice suddenly came.
"Don't be unreasonable to Mr. Luo."
The voice was hoarse and old.
It was as if rotten wood had been broken, and moldy straw mats had been cut.
The moment the menacing Black Armor heard the sound, his body froze, and then he retreated from it to the sides.
At this moment, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out from behind the black armor.
The black-robed figure was rickety, and its bent back almost made its upper body parallel to the ground.
He walked up to Mr. Luo, slowly raised his head, and removed the hood from his head.
What was revealed was an old, thin face.
The hair on his head was pale and sparse, his eye sockets were deep, his skeleton was bulging, and his face looked almost skinny.
"Mr. Jiuwenluo's name." The black robe said.
The voice was hoarse and a little oozing.
"Your Excellency?" Mr. Luo did not show the slightest surprise at the terrible appearance of the person in front of him.
"Butler of the Zhu family, Zhu Quan."
"I'm bothering today, I just want to ask Mr. to make it convenient and give it to me." The black robe also said with a kind attitude, and he even piled up a little smile on his face, but the smile with such a dry face as he looked, how could it make people feel cold in their hearts.
As he said this, he raised his head and walked past Mr. Luo and the fairy spirit, and looked at a side room beside him, where Chu Qingxiao and the others were watching nervously.
At the moment when they felt Zhu Quan's gaze, the three of them were all in their hearts, and hurriedly retracted their heads.
"Mr. Luo is a smart person, my Zhu family will not do things without evidence, and Mr. Luo will not tell such a clumsy lie as no one to find out if he wants to, right?" Zhu Quan continued.
Mr. Luo was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said, "Chu Qingxiao and the others are indeed in my study. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were still watching the excitement outside the study suddenly let out a low shout.
The behavior of Chu Qingxiao and others in the downtown yesterday has already been rumored to be miraculous after this night's fermentation.
Words such as vicious, demonic, bloodthirsty, murderous, and so on are constantly popping up around this street at this moment.
The people were somewhat indignant, although Mr. Luo had a lot of prestige in Wuling City, but he was still inevitably criticized by the surrounding crowd at this time.
Chu Qingxiao, who was hiding in the shadows, also changed their faces.
"I knew you were unreliable!" Chu Zhaozhao whispered with an ugly face.
"Sir has already helped us a lot, and there is no reason for him to risk his life for us again." Chu Qingxiao said.
"......" Although Chu Zhaozhao's tone was not good, he also understood this truth, and suddenly fell silent.
"So what do we do now?" Wang Che's face turned a little pale.
"Escape?"
"I can't escape, this study is surrounded by people in black armor, I can feel their qi." Chu Zhaozhao said coldly.
The three of them are like turtles in an urn at the moment, in a dilemma.
"In that case, then I hope Mr. will make it convenient." At this time, Zhu Quan's voice sounded again, and a grim smile spread out in his sunken eye sockets.
When the nervous three heard this, they immediately became nervous.
Mr. Luo shook his head calmly at this time: "It's a pity that this convenience can't be given below." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people outside the study were stunned.
At first, there were some voices that helped Mr. Luo speak, but at this moment they were completely drowned out.
The crowd was excited, and the cursing was endless.
Mr. Luo's face was still as usual, staring directly at the black robe in front of him.
Zhu Quan probably didn't expect Mr. Luo's refusal to be so direct.
He was also stunned, but the next moment there was a smile on his thin face, he looked back at the excited crowd, and then looked at Mr. Luo, and said with a little meaning: "Mr. Luo, are you only interested in reading sage books, and don't listen to things outside the window?" ”
"The wanted notices for the arrest of Chu Qingxiao and others by the Yamen have long been plastered all over the city, and they sneaked into my Zhu family's mansion yesterday and killed one of the guards in my mansion."
"Yesterday evening, the head of the family committed murder and killed more than ten guards of my Zhu family, and many people in the city witnessed this."
"Do you want to understand, what are the consequences of harboring the murderer?"
"What's more, I promise to do this, do you ask the people of Wuling City if they agree?"
"Yesterday, this Chu Qingxiao can kill my Zhu family's nursing home, and tomorrow he can hurt everyone here and your family! Let such a vicious person wander around, and you may sleep in peace at night? ”
Zhu Quan's words were extremely inflammatory, and as soon as these words came out, the people around him became more and more indignant.
The cursing also resounded unconsciously, looking at the posture, I couldn't wait to rush in now and swallow Chu Qingxiao and the others alive.
"Chu Qingxiao killed someone, that's also a matter of the yamen, so it's not the turn of the Zhu family to take care of it, right?" Mr. Luo didn't seem to hear the angry scolding around him, he flicked his sleeves, and said so, but the figure standing in front of Hei Jia didn't move at all, and he didn't mean to retreat at all.
"The Zhu family was ordered by the county order to assist the yamen in arresting the murderer, and for the safety of the people of Wuling City, we have an unshirkable responsibility." Zhu Quan said with a sneer, the eyes in the eye sockets narrowed at that time, and there was already a fierce light surging in the narrow slit of the eyes.
With that, the black armor behind him stepped forward one after another, and they were about to make a move on Mr. Luo.
This move made Chu Qingxiao and the others hiding in the shadows no longer able to watch from the wall, and they walked forward quickly and stopped in front of Mr. Luo.
Seeing that there is tension between the two sides, they have to fight each other in close quarters.
"Why didn't I receive such an order?"
"When did the order of Wuling City need to be maintained by private soldiers raised by others?" And at this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the study.
saw that it was the head catcher Cao Shugong who came with a large group of officials from Wuling City.
When the crowd saw him coming, they all fell silent, stepped aside, and made way for the officials.
And they were followed by Wang Dagui, Chu Yueshan, Sun Kuan and others.
"Little bunny, why are you in trouble again!" Chu Yueshan and Sun Kuan saw Chu Qingxiao in the study, and immediately walked up quickly, and when they met, they were scolded.
After Chu Qingxiao participated in this matter, what he was most afraid of facing was his father.
His father and uncle had given him too much, and he was afraid to see his father's disappointed eyes.
His head hung down at this moment, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
And Wang Dagui also walked to Wang Che's side at this time, he didn't scold, but pulled Wang Che up and down seven or eight times with a distressed face, and after making sure that his baby son didn't have a hand, he said: "It's okay, don't worry, Dad knows that Chu Qingxiao must have coerced you to do it." ”
"Dad has already sent a white jade lion to the county order, as well as three three-hundred-year-old ginseng essences, and the county order will not embarrass us."
"Phew! Who coerced whom your son had! Less blood spewing out there! When Chu Yueshan, who was still angry at Chu Qingxiao, heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into flames, and he scolded when he looked at Wang Dagui.
"My Xiaoche has been kind since he was a child, and the ants on the side of the road are reluctant to step on it, and he has known ...... since he was three years old," Wang Dagui recited his long list of "mantras" again.
"Dad, this matter really has nothing to do with Qingxiao." Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Wang Che hurriedly interrupted.
"Yes, you guys don't quarrel, if you keep arguing like this, can you solve the problem?" Sun Kuan, who had been listening to the two arguing for half an hour along the way, also hurriedly spoke.
Chu Yueshan and Wang Dagui obviously didn't deal with each other, but after all, they also understood that this was not the time to dump each other.
The two glanced at each other, and even though they withdrew their gazes, they were still a little unconvinced.
"Qingxiao, what the hell is going on, have you killed anyone?" Seeing that the dispute between the two had slowed down a bit, Sun Kuan hurriedly looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked with a worried face.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know where to start for a while, and when he was hesitating, in front of the study, Cao Shugong and the people of the Zhu family also began to negotiate.
"Cao catches the head, and he has admired his name for a long time." Zhu Quan looked at Uncle Cao Gong, who was killed halfway, and bowed respectfully to the other party.
Cao Shugong frowned, staring at the black robe in front of him, he couldn't say why, he felt a very uncomfortable aura from the other party.
He stretched out his hand and raised the other party's hand that was about to salute, and said in a calm voice: "I don't think I can avoid these red tapes." ”
"Now that we're here, we'll leave the thief to us."
"Your Excellency and your people, you can go back wherever you want, you can go back and tell your master, and we will definitely find out the truth of the matter."
"If Chu Qingxiao and the others are indeed the murderers of your family's nursing home, I, Wuling City, will not tolerate it. But! ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Cao paused, and his gaze at Zhu Quan became sharp at that moment.
Immediately, he spoke again.
"If someone wantonly frames it, or even has ulterior motives!"
"I'm Cao, the first one doesn't agree!"
