Childe was joking. This kind of wicked person, if he kills it, he will kill it, and if he kills it, he will also kill it for the court, and there is nothing to hide. Qin Xiang said with a smile.

"Did I really kill someone? Oh, I remember, I think I've really killed someone. Chen Meng seemed to ask a question and talk to himself.

Zheng Qi and Qin Xiang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise written in each other's eyes. Yesterday, I saw that Chen Meng had finished killing, his face was calm and he was not flustered, and he thought that Chen Meng had been wandering on the rivers and lakes all year round. But now Chen Meng seems to have reacted very much to this matter.

"Brother Chen won't be the first time he's seen blood, right?" Zheng Qi asked tentatively.

Chen Meng didn't speak.

Qin Xiang looked at Chen Meng, and then looked at Zheng Qi and Liu Ling'er: "Why don't we go in first?" ”

"You guys go in first, I'll wander outside." Chen Meng shook his head, "I'm fine." I killed someone. I remember. ”

"Then let's go in first, Childe relax." Qin Xiang bowed slightly, and walked into the county government with Zheng Qi and Liu Ling'er.

Chen Meng sat on the steps in front of the county office, holding the knife in his arms. He was constantly thinking about a question, he killed someone.

Killed. These seem to be three simple words, but they always make people shudder. Should that man be killed? Damn it. But people always have a natural fear of losing their lives.

A person is just obliterated by him in the world. Whether this person has a wife and children and parents, Chen Meng does not know. What Chen Meng only knows is that this person, no matter where he goes, will never be seen again.

This is actually a very scary thing, and in the face of this unsolvable proposition, the parties will have a sense of powerlessness. I will never see him again, and the rules of this world do not allow Chen Meng to see the person he killed again, and say sorry to him in person.

This person and Chen Meng can be said to have no grievances and no hatred, and before this knife happened, he didn't even say a word. Chen Meng wanted to apologize to him, if he didn't save people that night, the four disciples of the Anti-Theft Division would all die by his side.

But what do these four people have to do with themselves? Is it just because the Dezheng Daoist Hall and the Anti-Theft Division are both working for the imperial court? Thinking like this, it is just like Qin Xiang said, this person was killed for the imperial court. But does the court have to be right?

The imperial court is now letting the barbarians invade on a large scale, making the border customs people miserable, and letting themselves leave their homeland and move south with the Taoist hall. Chen Meng hasn't been home for a long time. He hadn't even gone home to see his parents before he came to Bian'an.

Is the court necessarily right? If the court is right, then he is now running thousands of miles and killing people to see blood, which is all right. But doesn't that mean that the people at the border are also right to be in dire straits and displaced?

Chen Meng felt that he was thinking too far. He decided to rethink last night. He closed his eyes and thought carefully about how several people had walked past his door last night, entered the bedroom of the anti-theft department, and started to kill.

Wait...... Homicide?

These men in black are also going to kill.

Chen Meng suddenly felt a little relieved when he thought of this, these people in black wanted to kill people, and he killed them himself to prevent them from killing. Killing to kill, well, makes a lot of sense.

But why did they kill?

Chen Meng suddenly found that he didn't understand the most critical point. Why do they kill?

He slammed up from the steps and turned to enter the gate of the county government.

Entering was a pair of officers and soldiers lined up in two rows outside the lobby, originally Chen Meng suddenly broke in and wanted to stop him, but when he saw that Chen Meng was wearing the clothes of the anti-theft department, no one dared to stop him.

Chen Meng walked straight to the lobby. When I went in, I saw that the sunrise map on the sea was opposite, with a black and gilt plaque hanging on it, "The mirror is hanging high", the county lord sat on the case, Qin Xiang and the four of them each sat on the case, and finally there was a seat on the left side.

Chen Meng knew that the position was reserved for himself. He didn't bother and walked to the middle of the lobby.

Qin Xiang spoke first: "Wang Xianya, this is the son who saved us yesterday." ”

Nawang County Yagang wanted to say something, but Chen Meng took the lead: "Sister Qin, I don't know something. ”

"Childe said it is."

"Why did those four people kill you yesterday?"

Qin Xiang smiled: "We didn't know it originally, but now we have found out that the four people yesterday were Wang Andao, the master of clogs, Ran Fei, the Xuanfei Sword King, Gong Ping, the Qingfeng Daoist, and Xiao Zhiyuan, the little head tuo. ”

"So what?"

"Gong Ping's godbrother, Gong Cha, a real person in Xieyang, and Wang Ranyuan, Wang Ranfei's younger brother, were just mentioned by a few of us to the vegetable market in Anning County a few days ago."

"I see." Chen Meng suddenly felt that his theory had sufficient theoretical support, and the purpose of killing to stop killing was to stop killing, and killing himself was also forced to do it in a panic.

"Thank you, sister, I'm fine." Chen Meng turned around and waved at Wang Xianya, "Chen Meng, cloth, I've seen Wang Xianya." ”

"Give me a seat." That Wang County Ya also had a really good temper, and he was finally able to say a word, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to let Chen Meng sit down first.

Chen Meng was not polite, and sat in the vacant seat just now, "Let's continue to talk." ”

Several people looked at Chen Meng and didn't speak.

Chen Meng was a little hairy by these people: "How many ...... If there is anything inconvenient for Chen to hear, Chen will leave. ”

"It's not." Qin Xiang smiled, "Childe is really a bold person, quick to speak, and not ambiguous. ”

"I ......" Chen Meng now felt that he might have offended Qin Xiang by breaking into the door just now and asking a question, so he hurriedly stood up again: "Sister Qin, don't be surprised, I was just impulsive just now, so I have to figure it out." collided with Sister Qin, and asked her sister to punish her. ”

"It's not." Qin Xiang smiled even brighter, and Zheng Qi, Song Qing and Liu Ling'er also smiled, "How dare I punish my son." Besides, the son is a person in the rivers and lakes, and it is the nature to be bold, so what's the matter. ”

Chen Meng didn't know what to do at all.

"Brother Chen," Zheng Qi spoke, "Brother Chen, we just want to tell you that in the rivers and lakes, killing people often doesn't need a reason. ”

"Don't need a reason? Isn't that indiscriminate killing? ”

"You are not a person who loves to kill, there are people who love to kill on the rivers and lakes." Zheng Qi shook his head, "Do you know why Gong Cha and Wang Ranyuan were beheaded in the street?" ”

"I don't know."

"The prisoner Gong Ping, because of a verbal conflict, slaughtered 63 people in Daxishan Village, Pingye County, with cruel methods, and no men, women and children were spared. The prisoner, Wang Ranyuan, got into a drunken brawl in Fengyun Tower in Bian'an, killing 42 people, and escaping and killing 18 officers and soldiers. Wang Xian Ya opened the file on the case and read it slowly.

Chen Meng was stunned. Sixty-three, forty-two, eighteen. He just killed a man.

"So sometimes you don't really need a reason to walk the rivers and lakes and kill people. The moves in our martial arts practice are all killing moves, why is that, do you know? Song Qing asked again.

"I don't know ......"

"Because you don't kill, someone wants to kill you." Qin Xiang replied. "Brother Chen first entered the rivers and lakes, and he slowly saw a lot, and he understood."

Chen Meng nodded. Probably sometimes it is just a last resort to kill people.

Next, Qin, Song, Zheng and Liu and Wang County Ya chatted about a bunch of messy case files and fugitives and the like, Chen Meng didn't have the heart to listen, and slowly it was getting late, Wang County Ya wanted to prepare a meal in the dining room, Song Qing resigned, and Chen Meng followed the four out of the county office.

"Brother Chen." As soon as he went out, Song Qing suddenly turned to look at Chen Meng, and his tone was surprisingly serious.

"What's the matter with Brother Song?" Chen Meng didn't know what he was doing.

"Brother Chen, Song Qing, deputy consul of the Bian'an Branch of the Anti-Theft Division, hereby ask Brother Chen to be the elder of our company."

"Huh?" Chen Meng never expected him to mention this again. But now it's hard to refuse, "Okay, thank you Brother Song for your support, then I might as well be respectful." ”

"Good!" Zheng Qi smiled and took out a yellow brocade bag from his arms, "Brother Chen, the reward money for you to kill Gong Ping for this matter is a total of thirty taels." ”

Chen Meng took it in surprise and shook it, quite heavy. He suddenly noticed that there was something strange in this, and asked, "If I don't agree, what are you going to do with this money?" ”

"That's the money for tonight's drink." Qin Xiang smiled.

Chen Meng felt more and more that things were not simple: "What if I agreed?" ”

"That's the money for tonight's drinks, too." Zheng Qi laughed.

Chen Meng was helpless, but also smiled, and patted Zheng Qi's shoulder, "Let's go, lead the way and drink." I'm in for a treat. ”

A few people walked in Anning County, at sunset, there were not many people, every household lit up the lamp, but walking on the road was quiet and peaceful. When I arrived at the door of a restaurant, the little guy who solicited customers at the door greeted me with a smile: "How many masters, are you here?" ”

"Here we are." Song Qing greeted.

"Qin Ya Pavilion on the second floor! Five! The little servant led a few people into the door and shouted inside.

Chen Meng walked into the restaurant and felt two worlds from the outside. The decoration in the restaurant is magnificent, with two floors, cloud gauze curtains, lotus leaf-style standing lamps, splendid carpets, and mahogany railings, which are extravagant, which makes Chen Meng a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Song Qing, who was laughing and scolding with the little guy behind him, and asked Zheng Qi: "Regular customer?" ”

"Naturally a regular customer."

"What's this restaurant called?"

"Yunyue Tower."

"Yunyue Tower." Chen Meng touched his name and looked at the colorful women who came and went, "This is not a serious place." ”

"You haven't been to this kind of place, have you?" Zheng Qi squinted at Chen Meng, and the corners of his mouth were almost under his ears.

"Not really." Chen Meng shook his head seriously, "First time." ”

After a while, he said solemnly: "Brother Zheng, I'm afraid thirty taels of silver is not enough." ”

Chen Meng really doesn't have much silver on him. When I came out of the house to the Dezheng Taoist Hall, I took two silver tickets of one hundred taels, and after coming to Dezheng, I broke one, and the food and clothing on the road were about a dozen taels, and there were eighty taels in the luggage, and I carried five taels on my body from the time I jumped. With the addition of these thirty taels, these thirty-five taels are all Chen Meng's net worth now.

Thirty-five taels of silver is enough for Chen Meng to walk four or five times from Yongzhou to Bian'an, but in such a land of wind and moon, it is simply a fraction of a centimeter. Of the sons who lingered here, which one didn't spend a lot of money to buy a beautiful smile?

"And this will give you a treat?" Zheng Qi shook his head, "Don't worry, this Yunyue Building is fireworks and willow lane on the surface, but secretly it is actually the business of my anti-theft department, and my disciples here eat and wear nothing." Asking you to be treated is just a joke. ”

"This is the business of the Anti-Theft Division? The Anti-Theft Division still does this kind of business? ”

"Intelligence, intelligence, do you understand?" Zheng Qi looked at Chen Meng like a fool.

"Oh, got it. No wonder. Chen Meng nodded. The most is that there are many rivers and lakes, and with this business, it can be said that it is easy for the Anti-Theft Division to check the whereabouts of which chivalrous man.

"It's good that you don't worry, our brother is a vegetarian, and we won't open meat today."

Chen Meng blinked at Zheng Qi.

"Senior Sister Qin and Senior Sister Liu are here, we dare to open meat? Looking for death? Zheng Qi muttered quietly.

Chen Meng stared at Zheng Qi. Qin Xiang, who was walking in front, turned his head and glared at Zheng Qi.

Several people went up to the second floor and came to the door of the private room with the sign of "Qinya Pavilion". These three words made Chen Meng sick to his stomach for a while.

A few people sat down, and Qin Xiang ordered a table of dishes, five pots of orchid wine.

Zheng Qi and Song Qing looked at Qin Xiang with blank eyes.

"What are you two doing?" Qin Xiang asked angrily.

"Senior sister, call Miss Yao to play a tune." Zheng Qi asked cautiously.

"Don't you think about it." Liu Ling'er, who had not spoken much, suddenly rejected Zheng Qi's proposal with righteous words.

"Senior sister, little junior sister like a flower!" Song Qing began to pat himself on the back.

"It's useless for you to praise me to heaven. No! Can! Yes! Liu Linger shook her head.

"Don't, it's hard to go out, Miss Yao's name is already thunderous."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell my father?" The corners of Liu Ling'er's mouth twitched, "My father wants to know that you come out to drink flower wine, so you two have to be punished for facing the wall for a month." ”
