Chapter Seventy-Seven: Zheng Li
"I said, what's wrong?"
Li Peng didn't understand why his eldest brother asked this, although the swordsman didn't care about the injured himself and the children, but without him, he would have been killed by the red-eyed stranger, and he could be regarded as saving his life, but he didn't look like a wicked person.
As soon as he heard Li Peng's answer, Li Wu's eyes widened, and he grabbed Li Peng's shoulder and said:
"What did you tell Master Zhang? Repeat it to me word for word. ”
Seeing Li Wu's anxious appearance, Li Peng had no choice but to tell his brother what he had told Zhang Tude about his experience of being attacked, and Li Wu was relieved after listening to it:
"That's okay, you remember it for me, don't mention to anyone about the swordsman you met in the future."
"Why?"
Li Wu glanced at Zhang Tude's room in the distance, and then pulled Li Peng away before whispering:
"That person is a wanted criminal by the Prison Heaven Division, and he also killed our Qian County Order, if people know that you have seen him, maybe they will be implicated."
"What, Qian County Ling is dead?"
Hearing Li Peng say so loudly, Li Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth, but fortunately there was no one else here:
"Shhhh
Seeing that Li Peng was quiet, Li Wu told him again about this time when he followed Qian County Ling and Lord Liu out to track down the red-eyed stranger:
"At that time, Lord Liu had already found the lair of those red-eyed demons, and after killing them all, let me and Qian County Ling go back first, and he would have to stay alone to deal with some things.
But I didn't expect that on the way back, a swordsman suddenly rushed out of the roadside, and stabbed directly at Qian Xianling, I went up to block a sword, but then he fell to the ground and fainted, and when I woke up again, I found that Qian Xianling had been killed by the swordsman.
I originally thought that this man was the remnant of those red-eyed strange people, but when I woke up, I went to Lord Liu and told him about it, and Lord Liu asked me about the characteristics of the man, and although I couldn't remember his appearance, I still remembered the clothes he was wearing and the sword he was holding in his hand, so I told Lord Liu the truth.
After hearing this, Lord Liu said that this person's name was Zheng Li, and he was a wanted criminal by the Prison Heaven Division, and it was very dangerous, and the Prison Heaven Division would send a new person later, and let me explain the situation here to them when the time came, and then I would go after that Zheng Li.
After Master Liu left, I remembered that you told me a few days ago that you had met that strange swordsman, and that swordsman might be this Zheng Li, so I hurried back. ”
After Li Wu finished speaking, he let go of the hand covering Li Peng, and Li Peng also knew that what he said just now would not be good if others heard it, so he also lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, this Qian County Commander is dead, he is not a good thing anyway, besides, I have only seen the swordsman once, what can others do to me?"
"You don't know this, this time I also heard about some things in the Prison Heaven Division when I went out to handle the case with Master Liu of the Prison Heaven Division, there were more than a dozen murders in Yuanhe County next door to us the year before last, and the internal organs of the dead were gone, do you remember this?"
After seeing his younger brother nodding to indicate that he still remembered, Li Wu continued:
"The county magistrate of Yuanhe County felt that there was an evil spirit doing something wrong or someone was practicing evil arts, and after checking for many days, there was no result, so he had to report to the Prison Heaven Division, and the people from the Prison Heaven Division caught the prisoner less than two days after they came, and he was a talented person in the county, he didn't know where to pick up a strange book, and practiced evil magic on it."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Peng asked suspiciously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"It's really a good thing, but one person is unlucky, that Xiucai committed the crime very secretly, until he was accidentally seen by a husband when he was doing the last one, but the husband was also frightened at the time, and later when others asked him, he couldn't tell what the murderer looked like.
When the lord of the prison heaven division arrived, he used his supernatural powers to learn that the murderer was that Xiucai from the husband, so he caught the murderer so quickly, but the groomer became a fool after the adult used up his supernatural powers.
I'm afraid that when the people from the Heavenly Prison Division come to check on this Zheng Li, they know that you have seen him and used this kind of magic power on you, so you don't want to be a fool, right? ”
"Honestly, if I can kill a few fewer people, it doesn't matter if I become a fool."
Li Peng shook his head, although the people in charge of the Heavenly Division were too many, but it also saved the people of Yuanhe County from continuing to suffer from the poison of evil cultivators, of course, he hoped that he would be a witness to the sacrifice, not someone else.
When Li Wu heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to slap Li Peng, but thinking that Li Peng was still injured, he put down his palm that was hanging in the air, sighed and said:
"That's it, don't mention this matter to others in the future, I'll go talk to Master Zhang in the evening, and see if I can ask him not to tell others about your encounter with the swordsman."
"Ahem, ahem."
As soon as Li Wu finished speaking, he heard a coughing sound, and then he saw Zhang Tude, who was on crutches, walking out from behind the wall, his body was covered with mud, and his white clothes were about to turn yellow.
"Master Zhang, when did you come?"
"Just when you said Genhe Prefecture."
Zhang Tude patted the dirt on his body, after he ate in the room just now, he used a gourd to put away the contents of the boxes, and then slowly walked to the next room by holding on to the wall, wanting to put away all the sundries in this room.
When he found a cane in the pile, he picked it up and practiced walking, and after falling several times, he came to a place where he heard the two brothers talking.
Although he didn't hear what was going on in front of him, the rest could still be heard clearly, looking at the two brothers who were stunned in place, Zhang Tude opened his mouth and said:
"I don't want to tell others about Li Peng's encounter with the swordsman, and I don't need to say it."
"Thank you, Lord Zhang...."
Before Li Wu could finish thanking him, Zhang Tude waved his hand and interrupted him:
"Okay, can you tell me more about the swordsman? Of course, if that Lord Liu asks you to keep it a secret, forget it, after all, I haven't officially joined the Heavenly Prison Division yet. ”
Li Wu hesitated for a moment, but still told Zhang Tude about the swordsman, Zhang Tude frowned after hearing it, he didn't expect that the swordsman was really Zheng Li.
This is different from Zheng Li he met, but it is not impossible to think of the strange appearance of Zheng Li talking to the unknown at that time.
Then Li Wu said slowly:
"Speaking of which, then Zheng Li has also been to Weishan County before, and after you left there, he also arrived a few days later, and he also killed people in Weishan County."
"Oh? Who did he kill? "Zheng Li has been to Weishan County and Zhang Tude knows it, but Bu Shiren and Lin Xianling, who Zheng Li originally wanted to kill, have already been killed by Zhang Tude, so who did he kill?
"That Zheng Li killed the county magistrate Lin Tan of Weishan County and Zhong Hai, the lord of the Heavenly Division."
"This is what Lord Liu told you?" Hearing these two familiar names, Zhang Tude was very strange, these two people were obviously killed by themselves, how could they be counted on Zheng Li's head?
"Yes, Lord Liu recreated the situation at that time through some means, and many people in Jushan County also saw with their own eyes that Zheng Li cut off the hands and feet of Lin County Order, and then killed him.
As for how Lord Zhong died, Lord Liu didn't tell me, and no people saw it, but I only heard that the day after Zheng Li killed Lin County Order, he threw Lord Zhong's body in the place where he killed Lin County Order.
Alas, that Lord Zhong came to help Lin County Ling deal with the matter of the head of the Bu family taking living people to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, but he didn't expect to be killed by the evil cultivator Zheng Li. ”
