Chapter 32: Clues
It's getting dark.
In Qinglian Villa near Jiang'an Wharf, the atmosphere is solemn.
Between the white walls and green tiles, dozens of thugs of the Qinglian Gang stood silently, listening to a sad word inside the wall:
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I have nothing to do with the night master of Tianshui Bridge, these two arms were cut off by him, Cheng Zhangmen just beat me to death, and he won't come, what kind of thing is this......?"
There are no lights in the main hall, which makes the light slightly dim.
Yang Guan, with his arms hanging around his neck, sat on the chair on the side in a regular manner, and the grievances and grief on his face were estimated to be able to write several pages.
The middle hall, which was slashed by the Night Terror Hall last month, has just been repaired, leaning on a long-handled copper hammer.
The copper hammer is like a golden gourd, the same height as a person, and the long handle is pitch black and shiny.
On the mahogany Taishi chair next to him, a sturdy man sits in a brocade robe, but he does not show any elegance or businessmanship, and his strong shoulders and back look like a tiger bear sitting on the chair.
The man's name is Cheng Shilu, the head of the Tiefoling Kaishan faction in Yunzhou, like his younger brother, he is also bald, but his body size is a whole circle larger, and he looks like Tu Jiu in 'Bull Head and Horse Noodles', and the posture of holding the teacup is not holding, but pinching the teacup with two fingers, and blowing slowly:
"Whew~"
The sound was like the gasping of a cow or horse.
On the rivers and lakes, a large physique is not necessarily strong, but the amount of meat has reached this point, and you don't have to think about it to know how much hard work is hidden under the tendon meat.
Yang Guan sat not far away, his original strong body was like a malnourished dwarf in comparison, and he explained innocently:
"The three peerless immortals of the family teacher, Weng Guang Hanlin, Master Cheng should have heard of it......"
Cheng Shilu raised a pair of tiger eyes, although his tone was flat, he felt like thunder:
"Your master is from Wuzhou, and when he comes to Yunzhou, he also has to respect Lao Tzu for three points."
"That's nature. The head of Cheng and the family teacher are both from the rivers and lakes and talk about the rules. If you want to see Ye Da Shao, I'll just invite you, and invite Ye Da Young Master to sell houses and land, if you don't come, you can unload my two legs. This won't let me go out, why do you come here at night? ”
Cheng Shilu put down the teacup: "On the day Lao Tzu's younger brother and nephew were beaten, you were there, and you kept saying good things to Night Terror......"
"Both of my arms are gone, how dare I say bad things?"
"Then you say, why did he give you a good face that day and let you go outside first?"
"Because he beat me, I have a long memory......"
"That is, I know that you are convinced, and I recognize him as the leader."
Cheng Shilu looked directly at Yang Guan: "Even if it is a guard dog, he kicks his feet when he goes in and out, and it is not something that outsiders can touch casually, this is called the rules of the rivers and lakes." Lao Tzu is going to clean you up today, if he doesn't ask, how will he sit in the capital in the future? ”
Yang Guan's face was bitter: "Master Cheng, what you said is too much for me." If I were a dog of the night, I deserved to be beaten today, but I had nothing to do with the night. The young master of the night is not a person from the rivers and lakes, he is a businessman......"
Cheng Shilu looks like he has a bad temper, but in fact he is not as rough as he looks.
He knew that Yang Guan was wronged, and the reason why he took Yang Guan was because behind the Night Terror Hall was King Jing.
Cheng Shilu has Li Xiang's connections behind him, but he is not too jealous, but the bad things in the street brawl are really in the officialdom, and neither side can please them.
If you want to find a place for your younger brother and nephew, you can only 'deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes', and use the rules of the rivers and lakes to solve it.
And Cheng Shilu rushed over today and inquired, among the people who have something to do with the Night Terror Hall, they are either civilians or officials, only Yang Guan is a Jianghu person, and he will not go to the government to make trouble if he fights.
Moreover, Yang Guan is more afraid of the Night Terror Hall than he is afraid of the Iron Buddha Ridge, he does not understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the Night Terror Hall really does not come, so he should teach Yang Guan the rules.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Cheng Shilu didn't say anything more, his sturdy body stood up and held the long-handled copper hammer:
"It's dark."
Yang Guan's face turned white, and he hurriedly raised his hand: "Master Cheng, no, hey, hey, hey......"
Seeing that the copper hammer was raised, Yang Guan didn't dare to resist, but closed his eyes with a pale face, and his facial features almost shrank together.
But the feeling of the leg being smashed never came, but a footstep sounded outside.
Tread on...... Tread on......
Yang Guan's eyes opened a slit and looked at the rain curtain outside the main hall, but he saw a black robe, unhurriedly appearing at the door of the courtyard, holding a black umbrella in his hand, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a woman in green clothes wearing a hat behind him.
“?!”
Yang Guan was stunned, he didn't expect the young master of the night to be so righteous, and he would treat him as a dog's leg, and hurriedly got up and said:
"Night Boy, are you really relieved of the little one?! This great favor cannot be repaid......"
Night Terror ignored Yang Guan, handed the umbrella to Luo Nuxia, and pressed the knife into the rain:
"Your Excellency is the head of Cheng Shilu Cheng?"
Cheng Shilu's eyes were round, he twisted his neck, walked to the gate, and the long-handled hammer was on the ground, making a muffled sound of 'dong-':
"A few days ago, you kid beat Lao Tzu ......"
Chokew-
The sound of a knife interrupted the words.
After the Night Terror Hall confirmed the victim, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and rushed directly to the gate with a violent figure.
Luo Ning stood at the door, stunned when she saw this scene, and said secretly: Are you in a hurry to go back to recuperate? Anyway, let's say a couple of words......!
Cheng Shilu really didn't expect this stunned young man's temper to be more explosive than him, and when he saw that the Night Terror Hall didn't care about the knife pressing, his face was furious, and he smashed directly at the gate with a long-handled copper hammer in his hand:
"Drink!"
Bell –
Night Terror drew the knife with his right hand, and the blade swept on the copper hammer, and the long knife was instantly pressed away by the huge force, but the right elbow was against the back of the knife.
Boom –
A line of sparks burst out from the main hall, and Yang Guan was so frightened that he hurriedly flew to the side.
Night Terror Hall used his elbow as a fulcrum to force the saber, causing the copper hammer to cut to the right.
The moment he staggered his body, the hilt of the knife was sent into his left hand, and the tip of the knife was forward, which was directly a sharp forward stab.
Boom –
In the muffled sound, the tip of the knife stabbed directly into Cheng Shilu's chest, and it was more than two fingers into the flesh, and it was difficult to enter.
The blade entered the flesh, and the eyes of the four people present flashed with astonishment.
When Night Terror Hall came, he had already discussed with Luo Nuxia the degree of solidity of Shi Lu's skin, but when he really stabbed him, he found that this guy was no different from being wrapped in iron sheets, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a complete body of She Long.
And Cheng Shilu was stabbed into his arms with a knife, only to realize that this newly emerging junior in the rivers and lakes was much more powerful than what his younger brother said, just this thunderous knife, you can see that he is a character of the same level as him, and he may even be stronger.
After all, Cheng Shilu's strength is that he is invulnerable, and his body is as powerful as a mountain, if he can be as good as the iron-armed Impermanence She Long, he should go to wrestle with the 'fist leader' Jiang Zahu, how can he just be a little head of Yunzhou.
Sensing that the momentum was not right, Cheng Shilu used to scare the junior's pair of tiger eyes, immediately turned into caution, the muscles of his body surged, and while striding back, the copper hammer swept towards the waist and abdomen of the night terror hall with all his strength.
Boom –
The golden gourd copper hammer smashed on the tea table, and the tea table was immediately shattered, and the broken wood that flew out was directly nailed into the wall.
Night Terror Hall is difficult to break through with a knife, and it was quite fearful, but seeing that this fierceness is not fast, it can be seen that there is a clear difference between this person and She Long, and it is too biased.
Seeing that Cheng Shilu was limited by his inflexible size, Night Terror dodged to the side, stabbed Cheng Shilu in the back from the dead corner, and threw a fire fold with his left hand at the same time.
Whew~~
The fire fold was bounced off the spot, and the volley swirled, blowing the flames and knocking over the lampstand in the main hall with unmistakable accuracy.
Da –
Rumble~
The lamp oil was turned over and lit, and the fire lit up the main hall.
Cheng Shilu didn't understand the meaning of the Night Terror Hall, and noticed that the Night Terror Hall was too flexible, holding a copper hammer and fighting and retreating, trying to lean against the corner of the wall to avoid being attacked on his back.
And the Night Terror Hall naturally wouldn't give it a chance, and the knife force Cheng Shilu to move to the center of the hall like the wind.
Bell Bell Bell –
In the lobby, the sound of swords and soldiers connecting with each other was one after another, and the lamp oil that was turned over quickly ignited on the tabletop, lighting the curtain and illuminating the hall red.
Cheng Shilu strode with a copper hammer in both hands, dodging the blade and striking hard, but in an instant, he had smashed several tables and chairs.
Knock Knock –
Whoop -
Night Terror Hall interspersed with his side, seeing that the needle knife was inserted into the flesh, but in the blink of an eye, it had left four knife cuts on Cheng Shilu's chest, front and back, and he had been observing the wound with the help of firelight.
But the last time I rode Cheng Erye to fight, I didn't move, and I watched it very carefully.
Cheng Shilu in front of him was wandering around in the dimly lit hall, and it was not easy to see the details.
Cheng Shilu, who had just slashed a few times in the Night Terror Hall and had not yet studied the way out, was rampage with a copper hammer, a different color flashed in his eyes, and he took a few big steps back and raised his hand.
The blade of the Night Terror Hall stopped abruptly and landed outside Zhang Yu, and his eyebrows were tightly locked:
"Just a mouthful of Lao Tzu, only a few knives before admitting defeat?"
Cheng Shilu glanced at the night terror hall a few times, and then looked at the several knife wounds on the front and back of his body:
"You're looking for my door?"
The cover door is the place where the horizontal kung fu has not been practiced and is not strong enough, and the martial artist will never tell outsiders, so as not to be targeted.
To which Night Terror responded, "I cut all my chest and back. ”
Cheng Shilu shook his head: "Your body is too good, if you cut one place five times in a row, I will definitely admit defeat." One knife in the east and one knife in the west, obviously looking for the cover door. I'm not stupid, you're powerful today, and the past grievances will be written off and goodbye. ”
After that, Cheng Shilu walked out of the door with a copper hammer.
Cheng Shilu, who doesn't cut much in the Night Terror Hall, only cut out a few small cuts with a few knives just now, judging from Cheng Shilu's size, it is equivalent to being scratched by a cat a few times, which does not affect the combat power at all; But Cheng Shilu is not flexible enough, he can't touch him, and the chances of continuing to cut down are slim, for fear of being tried out of the place where the cover door is, so it doesn't make sense to simply admit defeat.
Of course, it may also be that Cheng Shilu noticed that he was secretly observing the wound, and he was afraid that the matter of practicing the Ming Dragon Diagram would be exposed.
Although he was suspicious in his heart, he couldn't ask this matter face to face, Cheng Shilu saw that the situation was not good, so he admitted defeat cleanly, and he was not good at chasing and killing openly.
After Night Terror Hall was silent for a moment, it was not blocked, but Cheng Shilu strode away.
"That's it?"
Yang Guan, who was frightened next to him, didn't expect that the 'angry eye King Kong', who was known for his violent temper, would run away from the desert after being touched a few times like a girl, and was stunned for a moment, and found that half of the wall was about to burn, so he reacted, and hurriedly called his thugs to come in to extinguish the fire, and said at the same time:
"Yegongzi, you are so righteous, you can't repay your kindness today......"
The night terror hall didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with the unlucky Yang Guan, put away the saber and walked out of the main hall, and came to Luo Nuxia, who was also a little dazed:
"Lady Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Ning held the umbrella and looked at the direction of Cheng Shilu's departure, and said softly:
"It's just a matter of finding a scene, and it's wise to admit defeat cleanly when the situation is wrong. No, Shi Lu must have had some scruples just now, whether he was afraid of being found to cover the door, or something else, it's hard to say. ”
After Night Terror Hall looked back, he walked out of Qinglian Villa with Luo Ning, and said in a low voice:
"Did he find out that I was studying the Golden Scale Chart?"
Luo Ning was slightly silent: "Not necessarily." Cheng Shilu became famous more than ten years ago, and it seems that his talent is not low, if you have practiced the Golden Scale Diagram for more than ten years, you will not be able to break the defense with one sword. But I don't practice, and my body is sturdy and I don't look like a person, which feels weird. ”
"Could it be that I have only succeeded in recent years, and the training time is relatively short?"
"It's hard to say, you have to find a way to look it up."
"It's not easy to mess around. Let's go back and discuss first, Tiefo Ridge is not far from Baoyuanmen, I will leave as soon as possible, in the name of Honghualou, to Pinghuyuan Gate, and go to Tiefoling to see. ”
Luo Ning thought for a moment: "Someone who cares may guess that Honghualou will knock on the Baoyuan Gate, it is too risky for you to go alone, I will accompany you on a trip." ”
Night Terror Hall estimated that Sanniang was worried about his safety, and would have the same idea, and wanted to accompany him, thinking about it a little:
"Let's go back and arrange the itinerary first. promised to help King Jing investigate the case, but he didn't do anything at all, so he went out to do private work, and he had to talk to King Jing. ”
"The news from Nanxiao Mountain, it is estimated that it will take three or five days to send it back, let's do the matter at hand first, and then I will come back just to check the identity of the murderer......
