Imperial Capital Chapter 14 Tragedy
Imperial Capital White Paper Square, Qingping Lane, Jiuli Street
It was the most barren place in the imperial capital, inhabited mostly by women and children, and a small number of men were also supposed to work outside the city or farm outside the city. However, outside the imperial capital, there is not much land, most of it is divided by the official eunuchs, only a very small number of people still have their own world, and more people are tenants of the official eunuchs and gentry who rent seeds.
At this moment when it should have been difficult to see men, four tall men suddenly appeared on Jiuli Street.
These four people are also wearing relatively ordinary clothes, and their faces are relatively dark, although they are more in line with the general complexion of the people here, but they are too strong to attract the side eyes of others.
However, this is not the first time that such an abrupt outsider has been seen today, and the women and children, who still have many things to do, have not paid much attention to them.
The four of them were far apart, as if they had no connection with each other, but there was a tacit understanding between them, two of them wandered around and came to the outside of a house, standing on both sides, while the other two disappeared into the street at some point, almost no one paid attention, except for a child squatting there on the corner of the street, he held a dirty broken bowl in his hand, inside was a small half bowl of sparse yellowed rice soup, he took a sip carefully, then raised his head, and looked around blankly, and then found the two people standing outside the house, with some curiosity in their eyes.
One of the two people standing seemed to be aware, turned his head to the place where he looked at the place of perception, but saw a childish child whose body was half hidden in the dark, his eyes were facing each other, the man suddenly showed a fierce gaze, the childish child was stunned suddenly, and then after a while, the broken bowl fell to the ground, and with a wow, the childish child cried bitterly.
The man's face changed slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little nervous, and he looked back at the house, and at this moment, a terrible and shrill cry suddenly came from the house:
"Murder!"
This sound was mixed in the already noisy environment of Jiuli Street, and if it was not carefully identified, it would probably be impossible to detect, and the child's cry was also at this time, covering up one or two.
The companion of the boy who had been intimidating the child glanced at the boy for some reason, and then looked at the man who had been terrorizing the child, and the two men realized that the two accomplices who had infiltrated the house might have had an accident, and turned around to walk in, when they heard the voice of a woman behind them.
It turned out that just now, as soon as An Huan'er and the others left, there was a woman in this house who walked out of the house quickly, got broken silver, and the first time was to change it to food to feel at ease. But when the woman came home, she saw two people standing on the left and right outside the courtyard at the door of the house, she didn't care at first, just happened to be standing there, but then she heard a voice from the house, she didn't hear clearly, and wanted to say that the little girl in the family was probably scolded by her grandmother again, but then she saw the two people standing at the door turned around and wanted to go to the yard, then she realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously exclaimed:
"What are you guys doing! Yes! You are thieves! There are thieves! ”
The two men heard the voice behind him, and one of them also subconsciously rushed behind him, and at this time he couldn't care about anything else, so he cut the mess directly!
The woman's voice was so high and sharp that it spread far and wide, and many people looked at it, and the man had drawn a dagger out of nowhere, and went to the woman's throat, and he was about to silence it!
The dagger slashed a cold light, so fast that the woman didn't have time to react.
Just between the lightning and flint, the sound of breaking wind came from one side, and the man reacted extremely quickly, the arm holding the dagger snapped violently, and his elbow directly attacked the source of the wind!
Bang!
After a muffled sound, the man first watched in amazement as his arm twisted and bent over, and the next moment the feeling of pain into the bone marrow swallowed him like a tide, and before he could exhale in pain, a black shadow hit his head, and then his head was covered, and the endless darkness suddenly swallowed him!
The person who made this shot was Liu Xin, his martial arts skills were very high, although he was young, but in fact, as the senior brother of the first sect of the righteous path, his cultivation was also a master in the entire martial arts. The man with the dagger in his hand is not a mediocre hand, according to the strength of the martial arts, it is also a small Chengjing master who has opened up the meridians and let the internal force flow, and the reaction is not fast, but Liu Xin broke the way with force, and directly discounted the opponent's elbow with his fist to the elbow, and then punched the door head-on, knocking the man unconscious!
All this was only in an instant, and just now, the child's sudden cry had already attracted Liu Xin's attention, and then the woman's exclamation was obvious, and before the rest of the people could react, Liu Xin had already rushed out.
At that moment, Liu Xin glanced at the tall man who had been standing behind An Ran and the other woman, but Liu Xin didn't have time to care about these details at this time.
Even Su Bo almost made a move just now, Liu Xin launched it so fast that even he was almost caught off guard, but Liu Xin's target was not aimed at An Ran and An Huan'er, so he reserved his strength a little, so he didn't make a move.
An Huan'er and An Ran were a little stunned, but Ding Mingfu, the chief flag who followed Liu Xin, and another small flag reacted quickly, Liu Xin had already told them about the purpose of coming here, and at this time, the Lord of Baihu suddenly made a move, so naturally he had a reason, and the two of them hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the two people behind Liu Xin also followed closely, An Ran was a little puzzled, but even Su Bo looked at the backs of the two people thoughtfully, and then came to An Huan'er's side and said softly:
"Miss, that young man is very skilled, and there are two followers, in this imperial capital city, he is not a wealthy and noble son! I look at the son who is at least the commander of an official of this level! Miss, what do you think of him? ”
An Huan'er's mind was not on this, she stared at An Ran's expression, her eyes were full of gossip fire, so she simply asked, "Sister Ran, do you know that person?" ”
Even Su Bo was interested at this time, and looked at An Ran: "Xiao Ran, what I said should be right, do you know the identity of that person?" ”
An Ran came back to his senses at this time, his face flushed slightly, and he quickly explained: "I don't know his identity, we just had some earlier... Some..."
Enron didn't know how to describe their relationship for a moment, eleven years ago, that young man was just a teenager, much younger than her, but he saved her and got her out of that abyss.
An Huan'er heard that An Ran was a little hesitant, and suddenly became more energetic, and hurriedly guessed: "Sister Ran! He's not going to be your old look, okay! ”
"Ahh What! No, no! An Ran hurriedly waved his hand, and his face turned even redder.
In this era, martial arts are prevalent, and the relationship between men and women is relatively open, at least those who read dare not say to some young men and women who have practiced martial arts: Regardless of the defense of men and women, you are shameless!
If you dare to say this kind of thing, the one who is really shameless is probably the person who speaks, at least he will become a pig's head, or even a dead pig's head...
Seeing An Ran like this, the fire of gossip in her heart was about to gush out, she turned to look in the direction where Liu Xin left, and hurriedly said to Lian Subo: "Uncle Lian, let's go and see, he is so anxious, is there something urgent, we... We can help him! ”
Even Su Bo looked at An Ran with some hesitation, he had always known the young lady's thoughts, but this matter depended on An Ran's attitude.
An Ran felt that her cheeks were hot at this time, her age was actually not young, she should have gotten married and had children a long time ago, and she had a husband and children at home, but because of some experiences when she was young, she never had that kind of thought.
An Huan'er saw that An Ran didn't say anything, so she directly took An Ran's hand, and began to walk towards the Jiuli Street, An Ran couldn't, so she could only follow, even Su Bo followed behind them, but she was thinking about the identity of the young man in her mind, if it was really a commander, the identity was still a little low, if his family background could be higher, he could send a secret letter to the king of the county, and match An Huan'er, no matter how bad it was, it was okay to match An Ran...
The three of them went out of the alley, but they saw a commotion not far away, and exclamations came from there, even Su Bo's ears were sharp, and he immediately identified some key points from these noisy sounds, his face suddenly sank, and he took two steps forward, protecting An Huan'er and An Ran, and said in a deep voice:
"Something happened ahead, let's take a look first!"
An Huan'er and An Ran knew that once Lian Su Bo was serious, it would mean that the matter was not small, so they also stopped at this time to see the situation.
And at this time, Liu Xin had already eliminated the second man, who had already arrived at the door, but he sensed the situation around him, and just turned around, he saw that his companion had fallen to the ground, and then a young man had already rushed towards him, and he immediately waved the short knife in his hand, ready to meet the enemy.
His skills are similar to those of his companions, and he is also the cultivation of Xiaocheng Realm, he uses his internal force, and the speed of the knife is extremely fast, but Liu Xin's speed is faster, he takes two steps and one out, it is the light Hongyan body method taught by the young master of the evil sect Xue Sheng, even though the body jumps up, and then swoops down violently, the body is extremely dexterous, just slightly sideways to avoid the knife as fast as thunder, and then raised his knees and crashed directly into the man's arms.
With a muffled sound with a hint of crispness, the man's body was like a wooden stake that had been lifted off, directly slamming through the door behind him and slamming in.
Liu Xin did not hesitate after landing and rushed into the house.
At this time, the house was already filled with the smell of blood, a man was killing with a short knife, and the bodies of four or five women and children were lying on the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. In the side room on the other side, there was also the sound of fighting.
Liu Xin made a bold move and rushed towards the short-knife man who slaughtered women and children.
When the man who was killing saw Liu Xin pounce, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he only had one thought, today's things are really not going well!
They have already locked the goal of this family, and they are ready to come over today when they get the order, and the women and children of the family really can't make them vigilant. But when they came here, they found that there were already two women and a man here, and the man looked like a good hand, so they could only wait in order not to make any extraneous branches.
Finally, these three left unexpectedly, they did not hesitate, they shot directly, but they didn't know what went wrong, among the women and children in this family, the youngest girl actually knew some martial arts, caught off guard, and the two people who entered the house were forced to retreat at first, but then these women and children still had no resistance, but they were also different from ordinary women and children, one or two of them were not running around screaming, but handling everything that could be picked up, and doing senseless resistance with them, but after all, it was also a lot of trouble.
At this moment, the door was suddenly broken, and the man inside didn't see what it was that broke through the door, and he saw a person pounce on, as an experienced killer, how could he not understand what was happening at this time, and immediately slashed at the man, but a figure knocked him down sideways, it was the white-haired, but bloodied old woman, she had already been stabbed, and somehow got up again, and gave birth to such great strength.
The man was thrown straight down, and before he could resist, a big foot slammed into his face, and then he didn't know anything.
Liu Xin didn't expect that an old woman would be taken by surprise, but after he kicked the man unconscious, he didn't have time to pay attention to the old woman, after all, there seemed to be a killer in the other room.
Looking at Liu Xin's figure walking away quickly, and the two figures who appeared at the door soon after, it should be the young man's companion, the old woman was lying on the ground, her chest was still bleeding because of the knife wound, she looked weakly at one of the two people coming to her side, as if to help her up, but she tried to wave her hand, wanting this person to save her granddaughter, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Soon, a huge tiredness came to her, she tried hard to open her eyes, but as if suddenly in the water, she lost the perception of her body, slowly, the darkness came overwhelmingly, and the tiredness covered everything...
In the side room, the girl held a kitchen knife, constantly waving, trying to force the man in front of her to retreat, but the man had a joke and hideousness in his eyes, he had a short halberd in his hand, he occasionally shot, he could shake the kitchen knife in the girl's hand open, there were seven or eight people behind the girl, they hugged each other, their faces were full of fear.
The movement in the outer room made the man frown, he didn't know what was going on outside, but he had three companions outside, and he didn't think anything would happen, just think that they made a big fuss, but at this time he also knew that he couldn't continue to play, so he was ready to move forward.
But at this moment, the door behind him was kicked open, the man was shocked in his heart, and stabbed behind him with a halberd with his backhand, but he didn't stab anything, and before the surprise rose in his heart, a strong wind had already hit his neck, the speed was too fast, and he was knocked down before he could react!
Liu Xin simply dodged to avoid the blow, and then a hand knife knocked him over, the action was smooth, he was already full of strength, and seeing the tragic scene in the outer room, his heart was full of anger.
Liu Xin looked at the girl who was still chopping indiscriminately, the girl seemed to have fallen into madness, sighed slightly in her heart, grabbed a gap, snatched the kitchen knife with her empty hand, and then gently slashed at the girl's neck with a palm, and with force in her hand, she held the girl's hands.
"Tired, help!" Liu Xin said to the women and children behind the girl, these women and children were still frightened, but after all, there was an older one who was a little calmer, and immediately stepped forward and helped the girl.
Liu Xin tilted his head and listened for a moment, there was no other movement, and then Ding Mingfu entered the side room, saw Liu Xin and the unconscious man on the ground, and said:
"My lord, there are no other killers!"
"Hmm!" Liu Xin just responded simply, then turned to look at the women and children, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Okay, it's okay!" ”
At this moment, the frightened women and children suddenly cried out miserably, each crying bitterly, not knowing what to say, chaotic and disorderly.
"Let Lin Xiaoqi go to the officials of the nearby county government to come over, you personally go to the hundred households, transfer people over, and by the way, tell Liu Qianhu about the situation briefly, you go and say it in person."
Liu Xin commanded, in fact, he already knew that this family was what he was looking for, on the wall behind the group of women and children, there was a dilapidated flag, on which was the totem of the horse breeding sect.
The enemy behind you is even faster than expected!
Sending Ding Mingfu and the little flag officer out, Liu Xin did it himself, found a rope to tie the four men together, and threw them in the small courtyard outside the house, while he squatted there, looking up at the sky with embarrassment, at this time he had nothing to do, and inside was the earth-shattering cry of a group of women and children.
An Huan'er, An Ran and Lian Subo had already crossed the crowd at this time and came outside this house, which was already full of people at this time, but no one dared to enter the courtyard, and the bloody breath coming from there had already made everyone understand what was probably going on inside.
It is also because of this era, there are many warriors, and there are many incidents of natural conflict and bloodshed, and most of the common people have seen some of them, so they will not cry out and flee when they see blood.
An Huan'er's face was a little pale, this was the family she had just left that was full of women and children, why did this kind of thing happen suddenly. An Ran looked at Liu Xin who was squatting there with some uneasiness, thought about it, and walked into the small courtyard.
Lian Su Bo naturally wanted to protect An Huan'er's side, the four people who were tied together were good at a glance, and now the situation here is unknown, he has already cheered up 100,000 points, but in addition to this, he has a different opinion on Liu Xin's identity.
This young man has good skills, he just came here, and there was a murder here, is it a quick arrest?
But will the ability to catch fast be so good? Could it be a headcatcher, it's too young...... General? But why is he here?
was puzzled, which made Lian Subo more and more curious about Liu Xin's identity.
An Ran entered the courtyard, and there was a lot of exclamations around, probably because the onlookers could not imagine that such a young woman would dare to enter the courtyard.
"It's... What's going on here? Enron didn't know what to say, so he asked.
Liu Xin raised his eyes and saw that it was Enron, because he was a little familiar, so he didn't deliberately hide anything, and said:
"Check the case, and when you get here, something will happen."
"Ah, you're catching... Head? That's right, you also saved me by investigating the case in the first place, I always want to thank you... Well... But how young were you at that time.... Yes... I'm sorry..."
An Ran looked a little incoherent, she was standing here, she could actually see the situation in the house, and she was also confused for a while, the family was fine just now, and now ...... So, even she didn't know what she was talking about.
