Chapter 89: A Duel of Life and Death
The next day, three more bodies were found abandoned on the road near Wang's home. For two days in a row, a total of five people were killed and their bodies were openly dumped, and the gangsters were so rampant and lawless, which not only caused a huge reaction from the residents in that area, but also the people of the entire Jiankang City were also worried, and everyone was in danger.
Nearby residents went to Jianwei Mansion one by one to report the case and inquire about the progress, which made Liu Yi's head big. In the face of public grievances, many courtiers reported to the court in the early dynasties, requesting that the real culprits be arrested and punished as soon as possible. When Empress Dowager Chu heard about this, she reprimanded Liu Yi for his ineffective maintenance of law and order in the capital, and asked Liu Yi to arrest the murderer within a time limit to stabilize the people's hearts.
The top was pressed down, and Liu Yi had no choice but to press it to Qin Bantou. Qin Bantou couldn't get any clues from the corpse, so he ordered the military officials to go door-to-door to check the residents in that area to find clues.
In the dungeons of the "extended family".
The wolf dog said: "Beastmaster, all the dark sentinels sent out yesterday have been pulled out. ”
The Beastmaster said, "I already know. This incident has made a big fuss, and now both the Jianwei Mansion and the Su Guards are stepping up patrols. ”
The wolfdog asked, "What then?" Are we still sending someone to Wang Zhen's house to keep an eye on? ”
The beast king said: "Don't send it for the time being!" Now that the imperial court is grasping tightly, the residents in that area are nervous, and sending people over to keep an eye on it at this time is not worth the loss! This king is really not simple! took advantage of the psychology that I didn't want the organization to be exposed, and deliberately blatantly threw corpses to make things bigger, attract the attention of others, and make us constrained. ”
The white fox asked, "Beastmaster, did you just let the falcon leave the 'big family'?" ”
The Beastmaster asked, "Brown bear, what do you say?" ”
The brown bear said: "The boy hurried back day and night, in order to share the worries of the beastmaster!" Beastmaster, since the dark is not good, it is better to come to the light! ”
The beastmaster asked, "How do you know the law?" ”
Brown Bear said: "The Beastmaster paid me to learn the secret arts, and now that I have returned from learning, doesn't my father-in-law want to know what the effect is?" ”
The Beastmaster said loudly, "Yes! If it works, I'll let them all learn. ”
The brown bear said, "In this case, the boy will openly come to the door to duel with the king, and if I win, he will give me the falcon; If I lose, I don't send anyone over to interfere with his life. In this way, you can not only snatch back the falcon, but also try the effect of the secret arts. What does the stepfather think? ”
The Beast King said: "The idea is very good, but you haven't met Wang Zhen yet, and you don't know his kung fu skills, are you sure that you can win?" ”
The brown bear proudly said, "With the secret technique, the child can win 100%!" ”
Xiao coldly reminded: "Brown bear, be careful to chew the root of your tongue when you say big things." ”
The brown bear said confidently: "Owl, just watch!" ”
The wolf dog asked: "Brown bear, the deterrent power of your size is too strong, will the king accept the duel initiated by you?" ”
Brown Bear said: "If he doesn't agree, I will threaten to smash his house, and I have to force him to agree." In case I am captured by the military officials, the Beastmaster arranges for the inside to pour me some wine, saying that I am drunk and making trouble, and will not expose the organization. ”
The beast king said: "Very good, let's do it!" Brown bear, where are you going to ask the king to duel? ”
Brown Bear said: "The child knows that there is a deserted temple in the north of the city, which is very large and remote, and no one usually goes there, which is an ideal place for a duel. I will ask the king to duel in the open space in front of the seven-story tower of the temple, and at that time, you can watch the beastmaster from the seven-story tower. How about I schedule the duel in the afternoon? ”
The Beastmaster said, "Yes, we will go ahead of time." ”
The white fox said: "Beastmaster, wouldn't it be better for us to send someone to ambush there and deal with the royal hostage on the spot?" ”
The beast king said: "Do you think the king will go alone so stupidly? ”
The white fox still didn't give up, and said, "How about a sound?" When the king takes someone to the appointment, we will send someone to attack his house! ”
The beast king said: "The imperial court is strictly investigating at this time, and there are many officers and soldiers in that area, so it is best not to act rashly." Since the brown bear is so confident, let him give it a try! Winning the game is naturally easy to do! ”
The military marquis set up in the dark whistle on the periphery of Wang Qian's house, and saw a giant man nearly nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, muscular, and weighing more than 300 catties, walking into the road in front of the gate of Wang Qian's house.
At this moment, it was just past noon, Wang Zhen and Xie Daoyun were in the study, and Xie Daoyun taught Wang Zhen to write.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of bamboo flute outside, and Wang Zhen immediately said: "Lady, you can't practice anymore, someone is looking for you." ”
Xie Daoyun said: "You have an injury, I will go out with you, I can help you." ”
Wang Qiandao: "The identity and number of enemies are unknown, it is better for you to stay here, I will go out and have a look first." ”
Wang Zhen walked out of the study and called Jia Banxian to open the door. As soon as the brown bear walked to the door of Wang Zhen's house, before he could knock on the door, Wang Zhen opened the door first. The brown bear was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Zhen is eight feet tall, but under the invisible oppressive force of the giant man, Wang Zhen feels like a child.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the king asked, "Is there anything wrong with Your Excellency?" ”
The brown bear asked, "Are you the king?" ”
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
The brown bear took out a piece of paper in his arms, handed it to the king, and said, "My name is brown bear, and I am here to give you a war letter." ”
Wang Zhen took the paper and spread it out to see that there were only four words written on it: "Life and death are not limited".
The king asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" ”
Brown Bear said: "I want to have a life-and-death duel with you." If you win, we will not do you any offence in the future; If you lose, hand over the falcon immediately. What do you think? ”
The king asked, "How can I guarantee that you will keep your promise?" ”
The brown bear said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" I'm sure you're worried about your own life. ”
Wang Zhen said decisively: "Okay, I agree!" When and where? ”
The brown bear was so confident in the psychological blow of his height and weight to his opponents that he only wrote the words "life and death" on a piece of paper. Wang Zhen agreed so readily, which the brown bear did not expect at all.
Brown Bear said: "The time is a moment of Shen, and the location is a deserted temple in the north of Jiankang City. You still have an hour to prepare. ”
The king asked, "In what way will the duel be fought?" Bare hands or weapons? ”
The brown bear said: "I am bare-handed, you can do anything!" ”
Wang asked: "Okay! Then we will be in the middle of the day, and the barren temple in the north of the city will not be seen or dispersed! ”
The brown bear said: "See you or leave!" ”
After the brown bear left, Wang Zhen took out the bamboo flute at the door and blew it a few times, and then summoned everyone to the living room to discuss. Wang Zhen told everyone about the duel, and Xie Daoyun and Yinying resolutely opposed it.
Xie Daoyun was very angry and said, "No! You were injured last night and you're going to duel someone today? Have you ever thought about me? What if something happens to you, what do you call me? ”
Wang Zhen walked over and hugged Xie Daoyun, and said softly: "Lady! After you drugged me a few times, I'm fine! Besides, the brown bear himself boasted about Haikou, he was bare-handed, and I could use weapons. Yes, I know that the lady is worried about me, and the brown bear is a strength type, and he can beat me to death with one punch, but your husband is a speed type, he can't beat me, and he is also very depressed, right? So there will be no danger! ”
Xie Daoyun was still very angry, the kind that couldn't be coaxed, he pouted his lips alone, turned his head and turned his back to Wang Qian.
