On one side are four rough men in rough clothes and sweating profusely, and on the other side are young men in long robes who hold long swords upside down and reach the vital points of others.

Such a scene, in Xu Shangcheng's sentence to find the five rats, made the atmosphere even more anxious.

However, Xu Shangcheng didn't sell too much, he came to solve the matter.

I saw that Xu Shangcheng's left hand slightly urged the true qi, and with one palm, he lined up the man with the fork, and the long sword was put away, but it didn't hurt the man.

Then Xu Shangcheng spoke: "There was a fire in Zhoujiazhuang last night, and there was a murder, but I have to say that the self-talk of a few of you still dispelled my suspicion that I didn't have much about you. ”

Xu Shangcheng's words made the five rats puzzled.

The person in front of them didn't think that they were the culprits of the Zhoujiazhuang incident last night, and they relaxed a little in their hearts, but now they looked at his meaning, and they didn't mean to let a few people go, but they couldn't understand what his intentions were.

Xu Shangcheng ignored the puzzlement on the faces of several people, and said: "Last night, someone in the village saw several people entering and leaving the village, but no matter who asked, only three people appeared......

"We didn't kill people and set fires, we are ......"

When the reckless man heard Xu Shangcheng say this again, in a hurry, he spoke again and defended loudly.

At this moment, the man with the fork had returned to the middle of several people, and as soon as Mang Hanfu spoke, he immediately stopped him, and asked Mang Han to calm down and listen to Xu Shangcheng's speech.

Xu Shangcheng didn't mind, and continued: "I know it, at first I didn't rule out that there was a conflict between you, and there were three people acting alone, but when I bumped into you today, they were still inseparable, and between the words, I was not very clear about the things in Zhoujiazhuang, and your suspicions were much less in my place."

Moreover, the few people who died last night were all fatal with sharp blades, but at the moment, all of your weapons have no long blades except for this one who is holding a firewood knife.

As far as I know, it seems that this righteous man who operated the knife was not in the village last night.

In addition, even if it was really done by you, but after the incident, not only did you not run, but you also had to continue to stay in the village to fight the fire, I think your mind has not been deep and vicious to this point.

To sum up, I still think that last night's incident should have nothing to do with the five. ”

Listening to Xu Shangcheng's analysis, the five rats of Nanhe admired their sudden admiration, because they really didn't do such a despicable thing last night, and after Xu Shangcheng finished speaking, the man with the fork directly arched his hand and said: "Shaoxia is wise, please return my innocence!" ”

When the other four saw the fork-wielding man like this, they also spoke in unison.

Xu Shangcheng didn't talk nonsense, and then said: "It's not impossible to return your innocence, but you have to make it clear to me why the three of you went to Zhoujiazhuang last night, and what information do you have about the family that died in the fire last night?" ”

Xu Shangcheng spoke like this, and after the fork-wielding man glanced at the other people, he stood up again and asked, "I don't know the name of the young man?" ”

"Xu Shangcheng."

Hearing this name, the man with the fork was slightly stunned, then showed a little shock and admiration, and then said: "Xu Shaoxia is worthy of being a talent in the rivers and lakes who is enough to comprehend the Heavenly Sword, Ruan admires it!" This is a long story about last night, so please be patient and listen to me......"

For about half an hour in the next hour, Xu Shangcheng listened to the five rats tell about what happened last night, and also learned the reason why several people came here.

These five rats in Nanhe, the eldest with a fork, is called Ruan Sha, and the second one with a calmer personality, so that it is a firewood knife, and his name is Ruan Liu, and he is a cousin.

The reckless gavel man is the third child, called Li Zhuang, and the thin man with a thin voice at the beginning is the fourth Li Dao, but it is the longest nail rake.

And the hooked man who didn't speak from beginning to end was the fifth child, called Li Heyue.

The three surnamed Li are "rats", and when it comes to it, they are all a little related, but the blood relationship is probably three generations away.

These five rats are all idlers farming in Luojiagou, a village further south of Zhoujiazhuang, if there is no chance, then this life will be handed over to the edge of the farmland guarded for generations.

However, their eldest Ruan Sha is not a peaceful master, his face and voice are young, but his age is indeed the eldest of several people, he has never been willing to farm honestly in the ravine, from time to time he takes four other playmates who have followed him since childhood, looking for so-called opportunities.

It is also said that stupid people have stupid blessings, one day in a path outside Luojiagou, several people encountered a battle in the rivers and lakes, such a bloody scene, Rao is a few people have a rough personality, but seeing the flesh and blood flying with their own eyes, they are still so frightened that their legs tremble and they can't speak.

After the killing, the living people hurriedly evacuated, and most of the people left behind were silent, but the sharp-eyed Ruan Sha found that there was another person lying down, although it was also less breathing in and more breathing, but at least it seemed to be saved.

After a total of this, the five of them worked together to carry the nameless Jianghu man who still had one breath left to a cave where they often met on weekdays.

It's a pity that a few people really don't know how to do anything, and the foot doctor in the village can come up with one or two gold sore medicines, which is considered amazing, and after barely maintaining his life for about ten days, that person still died.

However, before he died, the man thanked the five rats for their good deeds of being willing to save his life, and gave them a volume of qi practice and a scroll that clarified the basic path of external skills and body methods to the five rats.

In the confusion of life and death, he implored the five rats that if one day, they succeed in their studies, they must go to the vicinity of Gulin to avenge them.

As for who to take revenge on, and the identities of these defeated and killed people, the five rats did not admit to Xu Shang.

Having said that, the Five Rats finally succeeded in opening the door to the world of martial arts.

However, the qualifications of the five rats are not very good, or the grade of the Qi Cultivation Method is not high, and after practicing hard for half a year, they are only worthy of entering the Hidden Yuan Realm.

The slightly better, that is, Ruan Sha, not only has a slightly higher realm, but also summarizes some external skills and routines by expounding the books on external skills and body methods, as well as the Jianghu tricks that he has obtained from going to the small city, and practiced with a few people.

About two months ago, five rats and a few people, they consciously practiced for a year, they were enough to break into the rivers and lakes, anyway, there was no wife room at home, so they traveled together, this first stop was near Zizhou City.

It's just that they don't have a lot of money or dry food, and the amount of food they eat has become larger after practicing martial arts, but they didn't expect to run out of food before they arrived in Zizhou City.

In desperation, they could only hope that they could meet one or two well-wishers who could give them some food.

Coincidentally, the first thing they met was a farmer in Zhoujiazhuang, this farmer had a lot of money because he had a tea shop at home, but he had too much contact with people in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and he heard too many ruthless people in the rivers and lakes who would kill if they disagreed.

The already timid peasant saw the five rats with rough faces and weapons on their backs, so they were obviously not easy to provoke, so they didn't think about it, so they threw away all their valuable belongings, and didn't listen to the words of a few people, and ran towards the village like crazy.

After that, the news of a new group of bandits near Zhoujiazhuang spread widely, and the five people who originally wanted to find some work in Zhoujiazhuang just walked into the vicinity of Zhoujiazhuang's peach orchard, and saw that there were officials coming to patrol and arrest them.

In this way, the reputation of the five rats of the Nanhe River is completely stinky near Zizhou City, and they can't enter the city, and they don't know where to go, so they can only wander around the Nanhe, and when they meet some people who voluntarily drop their money, they can only accept it.

It's just that they can't enter the city, basically the valuable things left by the residents of Zhoujiazhuang, they have been well preserved, only those food and clothing, in order to survive they have no choice but to use.

As for why everyone who met them was injured differently, either they fell and injured themselves in a panic when they fled, or because they handed over their belongings without resistance, and they were a little embarrassed, so they injured themselves and counted them on the heads of the five rats when they returned to the village.

Such days were repeated for more than a month, until recently, a widower who was struggling to support several children met five rats while going out to run errands.

The widower was actually afraid of the five rats in his heart, but for the sake of food and clothing for his children, he had to stop and bargain with the five rats, begging them to leave him something.

This pleading finally allowed the five rats to find an opportunity to pour out their bitter water for more than a month.

The widower of Zhoujiazhuang was quite pure in heart, and after seeing all the well-preserved belongings of the five rats, he also believed the words of several people, and then secretly invited a few people to his house for a good rest.

Because it is a widower family, there are very few people who come and go, but let the five rats take care of themselves, but it is precisely because they are widowers who are soft-spoken and soft-spoken, so for a while, they can't find a chance to let the people in Zhoujiazhuang know the true situation of the five rats.

In the past few days, the five rats have been out day and night, for fear of disturbing the rest of the people in the village, and they also take turns to travel, to divide the manpower to guard the property left by the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang.

Last night, it happened that a few people surnamed Li stayed in the village, and in the middle of the night, several people were about to leave the village, but they smelled a strong smell of blood in the house behind the fire.

The three of them originally only wanted to observe it for a while, but they didn't think that there was a black shadow in it that directly ignited a fire and wanted to destroy the corpse.

The fire burst into flames without knowing what fuel it had borrowed, so that they could not bother to chase the fleeing man, so they could only wake up the widower first, and he would go to the house to call for someone to get up and put out the fire.

Later, several brothers surnamed Li actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but when they saw that the fire was about to spread to the widower's house, after weighing, they still lifted the bucket to fight the fire together.

The rest of the matter is everything Xu Shangcheng learned from the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang.

After talking about the reason, Xu Shangcheng was a little stunned, he didn't expect that a game could provide such a rich set of characters and backgrounds for such an ordinary task.

The experiences of several people are similar, but their personalities are very different, and there are more hidden stories behind several people, such as the revenge of the person they saved and the youngest Li Heyue, obviously the name painting style is different from the other four, if you want to dig deeper, there will inevitably be more branches.

This made Xu Shangcheng even a little hard to believe that this was an ordinary town commission, and the depth of the task could be achieved.

After a moment of distraction, the five rats were quite worried, and when Ruan Sha finally couldn't hold his breath and wanted to ask, Xu Shangcheng said in a timely manner: "You don't need to panic, since I already know the ins and outs, then I will return you to a clean slate, but before that, I still need a few people to help me find the villain who killed the villagers first!" ”
