Chapter 11: Intimidation
Gu Sheng broke through to the forging of bones, and he was just a little complacent in his heart, but he was startled by this thunder at this time.
If it weren't for gunpowder or something, the power of such a large movement by manpower alone would not be underestimated.
I don't know if it's the legendary palm thunder or something.
Standing on the roof of the house and looking south, I saw an area in the south that was lit up with fire and constantly shaking.
It seems that this time the yamen moved very quickly, and after paying the money in the morning, this Xiangyong was organized.
It didn't take long for Gu Sheng to see a black shadow running through the roof of a nearby house, extremely fast, and disappeared into the darkness with a few jumps.
Immediately followed by another figure, also stepping on the roof and jumping quickly, leaping five or six meters, and turned his head in surprise after seeing Gu Sheng.
This Gu Sheng saw clearly, it was the old Taoist.
Then there was a lot of noise, and many people ran in this direction with torches.
Gu Sheng thought about it, jumped into the yard, and acted as if nothing happened.
It's none of my business anyway.
"Childe, what's going on?"
"The old Taoist priest is chasing monsters."
"Childe saw the youkai? What does it look like? Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she asked with interest.
"When the light is dark, I see a black shadow rushing past, like a large mouse."
"Oh!" Yan Ruyu suddenly lost interest, raised her hand to help Gu Sheng undress, and wiped his body with a wet hand towel.
When he went out with the basin, he turned his head and smiled: "I'm going to wipe my body, don't peek at my son!" ”
After speaking, he went out with a smile, and didn't even close the door of Gu Sheng's room, as if he was afraid that he would not look like it.
"Little vixen!" Gu Sheng scolded with a smile.
At this time, there was already a lot of noise outside, and many people ran through the alley, and from time to time they heard someone shouting:
"Lost in pursuit."
"Do you see the Taoist chief?"
"Let's take a look, five people in a team, don't be alone."
As the sound faded away, it gradually fell silent.
However, it was not long before there was chaos in the alley again, and the wooden doors of each house were banged.
"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door! Don't come out and kick the door again! ”
Gu Sheng put on his clothes, thought about it, put the knife in his hand, went out and pushed open the door, only to see two people standing outside with torches.
The two of them are not thin, they have calluses on their fists, and their blood is far beyond ordinary people, if Gu Sheng guessed correctly, he should be from the martial arts hall.
Many of those Xiangyong should be martial arts disciples.
The other party sensed the surging blood on Gu Sheng's body, and his tone and attitude were a lot kinder, and he hugged his fists and said, "Excuse me, let everyone inside come out." The monster disappeared when it ran to this area, and now it has to be searched from house to house. ”
Gu Sheng pressed the knife in one hand, and glanced left and right at the door, and many people in the alley knocked on the door with torches.
It is estimated that the entire area will be searched in a dragnet style.
"You're waiting here!" Gu Sheng nodded slightly, took a few steps back, and then turned around and entered the room.
"Get dressed and go out with me, and put on your veil." Gu Sheng shouted at Yan Ruyu's room, returned to his room and put all the silver in his arms, and then went out with Yan Ruyu.
"Childe, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, they're looking for youkai."
The two went out of the courtyard, and the two nodded and went in to search.
"Sister Yan!" A little girl's voice rang out next to her.
Gu Sheng turned his head to take a look, it was the child next door, who had been chatting with Yan Ruyu on the wall recently, and the two had been quite familiar with each other for a few days.
Except for the child in the neighborhood, there was an old man left, and I don't know if it was her grandfather or someone.
Other families in the entire alley also came out, and Xiang Yong began to search from house to house.
There was a lot of talk in the alley.
A middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin hurriedly walked towards this side with a few people, wiping his sweat as he walked.
He was followed by several people, one of whom was the one who had come to collect money during the day, shouting as he walked:
"Be quiet, look for monsters, and if anyone knows something, tell me quickly. If it is found that the monster is hiding in someone's house, or finds clues in someone's house, the whole family will be unlucky.
"This is about the lives of all the people in the city, if anyone knows something, say it quickly."
When passing by Gu Sheng's side, one of the young men's eyes lit up, his footsteps paused, and he reached out to grab the light veil on Yan Ruyu's face.
Yan Ruyu's body leaned back, her feet moved, and the whole person was hidden behind Gu Sheng.
Seeing that the young man still wanted to step forward, Gu Sheng stretched out his hand and looked over with a cold face: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I still cover my face at night, maybe it's a monster, I have to check it." The young man suddenly shouted.
"If she were a monster, would you dare to be so close? I think you're in the wrong head! Gu Sheng sneered.
When many people in the alley heard Gu Sheng's words, they lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
"What to do?" The middle-aged man in front turned around and asked in a deep voice.
The young man looked Gu Sheng up and down, then looked at Yan Ruyu who was hiding behind Gu Sheng, and shouted: "Dad, these two people have a problem, and they are still covering their faces in the middle of the night, they should be arrested and tortured." ”
Gu Sheng looked at the young man who was only one step away from him, and was silent for a moment.
After all, such a blatant frame-up, he dared to be so close to himself...... This is really a lot of courage.
It is estimated that this person is usually domineering, and if ordinary people are bullied by him, they will be bullied.
But although Gu Sheng was a problem-solver in his previous life, he was not an An'an, and now that his strength has reached the realm of forging bones, how can he endure it?
In the next second, Gu Sheng's right hand reached out like lightning and grabbed his neck, and the thumb of his left hand flicked on the blade, and the blade was half unsheathed and hung on his neck.
The young man's eyes widened, and his face turned white.
"Let go of my ......" Gu Sheng directly pinched back the second half of his sentence with his hand, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.
An outlaw attitude that licks blood from the edge of a knife.
"Let go of the young master!" Several other people drew their knives and aimed them at Gu Sheng.
The owner frowned, and said in a slow tone: "If you have something to say, you let him go first." ”
Gu Sheng didn't move at all, sneered, and habitually buckled his hat first:
"It's been the middle of the night, and I don't know if you're looking for monsters, or harassing and oppressing good people, anyway, I don't see what monsters you're looking for, could it be an order from the fake Zhixian County?"
"Childe is right," Yan Ruyu whispered behind Gu Sheng.
"Nonsense, this is an order personally given by the magistrate." The flesh on the middle-aged man's face shook and he scolded.
"Really? I see that you are still in the mood to harass the people's families, and you don't take the magistrate's order very seriously! Gu Sheng's voice was a little louder.
"Childe is right." It's still Yan Ruyu's voice.
A few martial arts hall disciples who went in to search walked out and watched this scene with their hands crossed, without the slightest intention of helping the owner of the workshop.
After all, although Gu Sheng didn't make a move, he was full of blood and energy, far stronger than them, and he was a master at first glance.
Who would offend such a master for an unrelated owner?
And Gu Sheng only said a few words, they understood what was going on, and with Gu Sheng's identity as a martial artist, they naturally stood on Gu Sheng's side in their hearts.
In the middle of the night, she was still covered with a scarf on her face, could it be that there was something unsightly? The dog is just confused. The owner suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
"Poor Dao can vouch for it, this good faith is not a monster." A voice came from the courtyard wall next to it, and everyone turned their heads to look over, only to see that the old Taoist priest didn't know when he was standing there.
The old Taoist priest nodded at Gu Sheng, revealing a hint of a smile.
Gu Sheng also nodded to express his gratitude to the other party for speaking up.
"Since the Taoist chief has spoken, then you have nothing to do with the monsters, you can let people go, right?" The owner said in a deep voice.
Gu Sheng let go of his fingers one by one, and the young man gasped for breath, he felt like he was going to suffocate just now.
"Next time, your brain is better, don't stretch out your claws, be careful of being chopped up, and implicate the whole family." Gu Sheng said coldly.
Gu Sheng also had a headache, but he didn't expect them to search for a monster and put himself in.
But since he offended the other party tonight, the other party may take revenge at any time.
He is going to give the other party the impression of an outlaw now, and if he is in a hurry, he will kill his entire family.
In this way, the other party must have a lot of concerns, even if they want to retaliate, they have to prepare first, and the time will be a little later.
If you drag it for a day, you can get a few points stronger, and after a few days, you can take the knife and leave.
The young man covered his neck and looked at Gu Sheng in horror, he couldn't believe that someone dared to be so bold.
The owner of the workshop was even more bruised, and the anger in his heart was about to explode: "Are you threatening me? ”
"How so? Just a reminder, not everyone in this world is as law-abiding as I am. You know this virtue of your son, and if you meet a very vicious person one day, you may kill the whole family! ”
"Childe is right." Yan Ruyu continued to praise.
For the first time, Gu Sheng discovered that she still had the potential to be praised.
It took a long time for the owner to blush and shouted, "Let's go, continue to search." ”
