"With your knife skills, it is estimated that you can even chop wood."

Yuan Ping was supposed to be another day of paid fishing today.

Who knew that Chen Liu, who was kicked away only two days ago, was standing outside the gate with a smile on his face at the moment, in front of his table.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to ask Brother Yuan to help me guide me in knife techniques."

"Didn't you say you were going to kill me the other day?"

"It's not that the little brother is ignorant." - After learning, choose the opportunity to take revenge.

Yuan Ping was originally reluctant to delay his efforts with him, but after seeing that Chen Liu sensibly bought some wine and food from Guixianglou, he nodded reluctantly.

In fact, he also felt that Chen Liu seemed to be unusual, and the people above generally didn't care about the life and death of the person below the silver pole, let alone such a newcomer.

So Yuan Ping asked Chen Liu to try to slash it.

Chen Liu, who has never used a knife, looks majestic when he goes down.

"Weak to hold the knife." ——With a flick of one finger, the blade of the knife vibrates, and Chen Liu can clearly feel that his hands are shaking.

"The market is unstable." - A kick in the left leg, not much force, but Chen Liu shook and swayed.

Yuan Ping asked Chen Liu to cut a few more knives at the weeds in the yard.

Although the blade of the Pu knife touched the grass pole and immediately broke it, the broken place was connected by a broken skin.

"You don't have any hard skills, you can chop wood or something. Please be smart, you can't teach. ”

Yuan Ping didn't dare to compliment Chen Liu on the fact that he used a knife.

Chen Liu's face was embarrassed, but he could only flatter and flatter.

Originally, he was going to ask his colleagues in Jingzhao Mansion for advice, but they went to the Teaching Workshop Division after they came out of Guixiang Building.

When I came on the second day, I was depressed, and I didn't know how long I had been working in the Workshop Division.

Zhang Chun also used up most of the silver as a matter of course and returned to his original life.

No one in Jingzhao Mansion had the energy, and Bai Jiu was a warlock, so Chen Liu had no choice but to come to Yuan Ping.

If you start from scratch without the help of nobles, it will be even more difficult.

Yuan Ping was not in the mood to push the ink with Chen Liu, and finally promised to give him a few suggestions.

"Hang heavy stones on the knife to keep the blade level; Tie up your horse and go find a waterfall; Take a knife and cut the tofu, the thinner the better. In this way, the time is grasped by yourself, and the basic function is completed before the next one. ”

After Yuan Ping said a few words casually, he didn't open the sword technique that Chen Liu brought back from the Jingzhao Mansion arsenal.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Ping directly took the wine and food and closed the door to thank the guests.

"Thank you."

Although the knife is mouthy, Yuan Ping still takes good care of Chen Liu. Chen Liu could also feel it, otherwise it would be impossible to come to him.

His advice wasn't very brilliant, but it was perfect for a novice like him.

Chen Liu thanked him and said goodbye, and decided to come back after practicing his basic skills.

The master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

If you don't pay, no matter how powerful a genius is, it's in vain.

Soon after Chen Liu left the rod place, the fishing uncle who had "pitted" him into the rod place also came to the rod place and knocked on the door.

Yuan Ping thought that Chen Liu had some other ideas, and was about to beat him well, but found that it was a middle-aged uncle at the door, so he asked impatiently:

"Old Li Tou? Something? It's okay to get out of here. ”

However, after the middle-aged uncle inadvertently revealed the gold medal on his waist, Yuan Ping's face changed, and he directly pulled Lao Li Tou into the courtyard and closed the gate.

Yuan Ping, who came in, actually knelt down to Lao Li and saluted, and said respectfully:

"Yuan Ping, the silver pole at the rod, welcome the commander's order!"

It was not Lao Li Tou who saluted, but the gold medal.

That gold medal may be useless in the outside world, but it is the supreme existence for the rod play.

Just because it was the commander of the pole beater, the gold medal of the commander.

"No."

Lao Li Tou took off his tattered fishing rod, put it aside, and took off the gold medal and held it in his hand.

His words at this time no longer represent himself, but the commander behind the gold medal.

"Silver pole Yuan Ping listens to orders!"

"The subordinates are here."

"There is an embassy from the Western Regions that will enter the capital, and the purpose is unknown. I order you to find out the news of the mission in the capital. During this time, you can adjust the number of strokes below the gold. This task is used as an investigation for your promotion to the gold pole, and you will be asked to use this task to investigate the pole hitter Chen Liu. ”

"Obey."

Lao Li Tou gave the gold medal to Yuan Ping as a certificate for him to order other silver rods, and gave him documents and materials about the Buddhist mission in the Western Regions.

Yuan Ping solemnly took the token and put it in his arms to hide.

After saying that, he asked a little strangely:

"Old Li Tou, aren't you retired? How can you receive such an important task? ”

"Hehe, maybe think I'm too idle? Congratulations, though, if this mission is completed, you'll be a golden rod! ”

The rod beater is not known to outsiders, and the rod beating place that Yuan Ping guards is also a place where sheep's heads are hung and dog meat is sold, but the really powerful forces and the rod beaters know inside that what the gold rod is.

As the existence of the direct commander, every golden rod is a combination of force and strategy, and there is only a difference between long and short.

Yuan Ping also waited for a long time for the opportunity to be promoted.

Although he felt that Lao Li Tou was very strange, he didn't have too many doubts.

"Don't you know that Chen Liu is just a martial artist who has just entered the ninth grade? Do you really want him to participate in such an important mission? ”

The task of Buddhism is never simple.

When Feng Shuai entered Vulture Mountain, although he didn't know what happened, he didn't know how many silver and copper rods died during the open and secret battles.

Even the master of the golden rod has not fallen.

Chen Liu, a nine-grade martial artist, really doesn't even have the ability to be cannon fodder.

This kind of test not only endangers Chen Liu's life, but is more likely to affect the completion of the task.

"Who knows? Can only obey. ”

Lao Li Tou didn't care, after explaining to Yuan Ping, he planned to leave.

Yuan Ping naturally knew that there was no way to refute the orders from above, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

He began to think about how to improve Chen Liu's strength, and by the way, he planned how to contact the Western Regions Mission.

……

After leaving the pole playing place, Chen Liu did not go home, but came to Jingzhao Mansion.

"It's been a bit too much these days."

Although he has an additional identity as a rod player, he is still the second-class head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion on the surface.

The tattered rod is mysterious, but Jingzhao Mansion has a structure, and it also distributes silver!

It is better to come early than to come coincidentally, and at this moment, outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, someone is beating drums and shouting grievances.

As a result, Chen Liu participated in the court trial of Jingzhao Mansion as a servant.

"Might~~"

The officials on both sides of the hall tapped the ground with wooden sticks, and solemnly shouted the word "mighty" as one of the halls.

"Whoever is in the hall, report the name. What's the drumming? ”

There was a shocking sound, and then it was a shock, and then the right Shaoyin made his debut.

Sitting in front of the hall, Right Shaoyin's face was solemn, staring at a richly dressed woman who was kneeling on the ground.

"Back to Master Shaoyin, the folk woman Xiao. Sued the long-term worker Jiang Er for seeing his wealth and killing my master! ”

Xiao's eyes were full of tears, and he kept wiping it with the handkerchief in his hand, and his voice was sorrowful.

Right Shaoyin scolded angrily in his heart - how the hell is another murder case! Or the following offenses, and the main offenders.

Is Jingzhao Mansion poured blood mold, can't it be stopped for a while?

I was so depressed in my heart, but I still had to say:

"Are you sure? If you make a false accusation, the judge will ask you for your sin! ”

"The women don't dare to deceive the old man."

I'd rather you deceive.

Right Shaoyin could only accept the reality at this time, and shouted to the officer:

"And bring the suspect Jiang Er and confront him in the court."

Chen Liu took the initiative to ask Ying at this time to bring Jiang Er back to the mansion.

There is no other reason, just because the name Jiang Er is the same as Jiang Yuan's father, and it must be determined.

Right Shaoyin nodded, and sent three messengers to go with Chen Liu to arrest the suspect.

Xiao stepped forward to lead the way.

……

Xiao's house is outside the city, some distance from the city gate.

Originally, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be managed by Jingzhao Mansion, but it is really a change in the world, and Jingzhao Mansion can only manage this kind of thing now.

When Chen Liu and the others returned to Zhuangzi with Xiao, a corpse covered with a white cloth was placed in the center of the hall.

This man was apparently what Shaw was talking about, her husband.

Next to the corpse, a middle-aged man was tied with hemp rope, who had been beaten half to death and was covered in bruises.

Beside him, there was also a middle-aged woman and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Poor master, it is my master who he killed."

Chen Liu looked at the three people who were tied up, and secretly screamed in his heart.

The world is very small, and that Jiang Er seems to be that Jiang Er.

Chen Liu said to his colleagues:

"Let's ask about the situation here first, and then report to the adults when we go back to the government."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So Chen Liu walked to Jiang Er's side first and asked:

"But the Master Xiao you killed?"

To Chen Liu's surprise, even though Jiang Er was seriously injured, he replied in a daze:

"Yes."

He went to the woman and the boy again:

"Do you have any arguments?"

They all shook their heads indifferently and said:

"Nope."

Well...... Wrap up! Closed!

In fact, Chen Liu has already discovered the anomaly.

How can a murderer confess his guilt so easily? And the family didn't even complain at all.

According to the law of the Great Liang, if the following offenders are committed, the master will be killed as a servant, the main offender will be beheaded, and his family will be exiled.

Of course, in fact, Chen Liu felt that this thing was very unusual at the beginning.

It is obviously unreasonable for a long-term worker, without any other means of preparation, to say that he kills people for the sake of money.

"You've all seen him kill? Is there a murder weapon? ”

Among the people standing around the hall, a few said that they had seen Jiang Er kill people.

As for the murder weapon, it was a small dagger with blood.

So Chen Liu brought a number of witnesses, exhibits, and the body of Master Xiao back to Jingzhao Mansion, and explained the situation to You Shaoyin.

"My lord, I think there is something strange about this."

"Oh?"

Before the opening of the hall, Chen Liu found You Shaoyin and expressed his suspicions.

However, You Shaoyin just drank tea carefully, and then said meaningfully to Chen Liu:

"There is nothing to doubt about the human and material evidence."

This kind of thing, even if there is something strange, what can it be?

Is it for the sake of the so-called truth, to go to great lengths to track down a case that can be easily handled?

Chen Liu turned his head and said:

"My lord, it's not that it's a lowly job, but that the escape of prisoners a few days ago is strange. I suspect someone is designing us. ”

"Hmmm......"

Speaking of this, Right Shaoyin hesitated a little.

Chen Liu pursued with victory.

"My lord, we don't mean to look for trouble. But we can wait an extra day or two for verification as evidence, and we don't have to worry about gossip. If nothing happens by then, we'll deal with it. ”

mentioned that incident, You Shaoyin was really a little soldier, and what Chen Liu said was not missing, so he reluctantly agreed.

As a result, Jiang Er's family was imprisoned, and the Xiao family had to wait for the yamen to interrogate at any time.

As for Chen Liu, he went home first.
