Chapter 64: Murder with a knife

At this time, Xiao Xiangzi was suspicious on the side: "He Chengyu's kid has some cultivation, but when it comes to destroying the bandits of the entire village, he may not have the ability, nor the courage!" ”

Chenyangzi continued: "Virtuous nephew, I think this matter is a little strange. If this matter was done by Master He's nephew, judging from his character of love and performance, he should immediately return to the gang to report the good news to us, rather than hiding it. ”

Gu Hongzi, who has a strong personality, patted his head and said: "Yes, it's a good thing to suppress bandits, tell me that I can make a big credit, and he has no reason to hide it at all." Virtuous nephew, is there any misunderstanding in this? ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Zhong Lifei smiled coldly and continued: "The surname He did this not to eliminate harm for the people, but to be afraid that after we went to Heifeng Village, we would find out that he colluded with bandits to blackmail the villagers!" ”

"What did you say?"

"Virtuous nephew, don't play with children!"

Everyone exclaimed, in disbelief.

Zhong Lifei took a sip of tea calmly and said, "When my apprentice was competing with Yang Jun, I heard several disciples next to me say that He Chengyu's performance in collecting protection money was among the best, I don't know if it's true? ”

"It's true, in this regard, Master He's results have always been in the top three."

Xiao Xiangzi replied, and at the same time wondered why Zhong Lifei asked about it.

Zhong Lifei said with a smile: "It's strange to me, the money collected by other disciples in the prosperous area of the capital is not how Chengyu's performance in the border area can't explain the problem?" ”

One of the disciples present said assummatedly: "This proves that Senior Brother He has strong business ability and works hard ......."

Suddenly, he couldn't go any further, just because the three elders were all staring at him with cold faces.

At this time, the three elders and Tianjizi heard the meaning of Zhong Lifei's words.

The terrain at the junction of Gushu Country and Zhongrong Country is complicated, bandits are rampant, and the local people are all poor, how much spare money can be handed over to the Tianxian Gang?

It's just that He Chengyu collected a lot of protection money after he went, could it be that he dug up the treasures in the ancestral graves of others?

Chu Fan also came to his senses and knew the reason why the master never had a good face when he saw He Chengyu.

He could almost imagine that He Chengyu secretly colluded with local bandits to extort money from the people, and even participated in the road-blocking and robbing passing merchants.

No wonder this guy wants to let go of all the robbers in Quling Village, it turns out that they are in a gang!

At this time, Chen Yangzi hesitated and said, "Virtuous nephew, most of the bandits and thieves are cunning, and you can't fully believe what that person said to you." ”

Looking at the other party's suspicious attitude, Zhong Lifei explained sincerely: "I have no malicious intentions, I just want to maintain the reputation of the Tianxian Gang like Uncle Shi." ”

Then, he took out an item from his bosom and said, "This is the item left at the scene by the murderer, and everyone here must be familiar with it." ”

As soon as they saw this item, the three elders and Tianjizi all changed color, and the disciples were also shocked.

This is an ivory comb with exquisite workmanship, and in the Tianxian Gang, there is only He Chengyu who likes to use this kind of precious comb.

And he has more than a dozen, each with a different purpose.

A disciple lost his voice and said, "Is this really Senior Brother He's comb?" ”

Zhong Lifei replied, "His name is engraved on the comb, you may wish to check it." ”

Tianjizi hurriedly grabbed the comb and looked at it.

When he confirmed that the three characters of He Chengyu on the comb were engraved by himself, there was a fierce light in his eyes.

He immediately shouted to his disciples: "You guys, hurry up and bring these four dogs over, I will personally interrogate them here, so as to correct the atmosphere of my Tianxian Gang!" ”

As soon as a few disciples left, Tianjizi pointed at a disciple next to him and shouted: "Gu Wancheng, you go to me too, don't let them run away!" ”

It seemed that his emotions were furious to the extreme, but in fact, he secretly glanced at this disciple named Gu Wancheng.

Gu Wancheng is Tianjizi's confidant, and after seeing the master's eyes, he immediately understood, and followed without saying a word.

Chu Fan couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to Zhong Lifei: "Master, you are too powerful, you have knocked down the umbrella at once, and the people of Quling Village will no longer be oppressed in the future." ”

The three elders were speechless.

But what happened next was much beyond the expectations of Zhong Lifei's master and apprentice.

What Tianxian helped his disciples bring back was not He Chengyu and the other four disciples, but four bloody human heads!

The strong smell of blood suddenly filled the hall, and everyone gasped.

"Didn't you go to arrest people, how did you kill He Chengyu and the others?" Chu Fan asked angrily.

His stomach immediately contracted with spasms and he almost vomited.

Gu Wancheng replied calmly: "When we arrested He Chengyu and the others, they didn't listen to the order and resisted desperately. In order to prevent these scum from escaping, they had to be killed on the spot. ”

"You guys are so reckless, you have all thought about it for three days behind closed doors!" Tianjizi pretended to shout.

Zhong Lifei closed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Hmph, is this necessary? After going to so many people, I was afraid that He Chengyu would run away, and he didn't even leave a living! ”

He couldn't help frowning, it was obvious that this was killing people.

"Alas, the clue will be broken when He Chengyu dies, and I don't know if this scum has other fellow party members who have done such hurtful things!" Xiao Xiangzi sighed and said.

This sentence just said Zhong Lifei's worries, but the matter has come to this, if he is too entangled, he will startle the snake.

Immediately, Zhong Lifei smiled and said teasingly: "Thank you for your trust in me, so quickly killed the disciple who violated the gang rules, aren't you afraid that what I said is not the truth?" ”

"What did the virtuous nephew say! The physical evidence in hand is enough to prove the crimes of He Chengyu and others, and it is not a pity for them to die! ”

"If it weren't for the virtuous nephew to clean up the portal for our Tianxian Gang, I don't know how much reputation damage would be caused."

Even Tianjizi also said: "As long as Brother Xian finds out that my Tianxian Gang disciples have misbehaved in the future, please inform me and the three elders as soon as possible." If it were sudden, you could have acted expediently, and we would be grateful. ”

When he said this, he had a very sincere smile on his face.

But in Zhong Lifei's eyes, this face seemed to be wearing a mask, and no one could see his true face.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, it's not too early, I should go back too, and I'll visit the helper Lingxuzi another day."

At this moment, Zhong Lifei didn't want to say more, and strode out with his apprentice.

Seeing Zhong Lifei's master and apprentice leave, there was a hint of gloom in Tianjizi's eyes.

Chu Fan didn't mention how excited he was, and he kept talking after he went back.

Zhong Lifei was uncharacteristically silent.

"Hey, Master, you don't seem to be happy." Chu Fan saw the fame.

Zhong Lifei let out a long sigh and said, "Today I made a mistake and let the people of the Tianxian Gang see a joke. ”

"No, just now you got rid of He Chengyu and a few other scum, Tianjizi and the three elders don't know how embarrassed they were, how can you say that you made a mistake?"

"He Chengyu is just a small fish, and a big fish is not bubbling, which makes me feel very unhappy."

"Are you saying that He Chengyu's collusion with the bandits is not a personal act, but a mastermind behind the scenes?"

Chu Fan suddenly understood, and exclaimed, "Could it be that this guy is a heavenly machine?" ”

Zhong Lifei frowned noncommittally, and suddenly laughed evilly.

"Actually, I didn't suffer a loss, in fact, the evidence I presented in Zhongyi Hall today is all fake."

"What did you say?"

Chu Fan jumped up on the spot and looked at the master incredulously.

He exclaimed emotionally, "Master, why did you wronged others? ”
