Chapter 2: Four Killings

sub-hours.

The night was dark and silent.

On Willow Street in Yongxingfang, three figures flew on the roof.

"Second brother ghost, slow down, we have an injury in this leg."

"Don't be in a hurry, it's just one step earlier and one step later, and the gold and silver are divided equally."

"Big brother is right, with our strength, it is easy to make a name for ourselves and resound the names of the three murderers in the southwest all over the rivers and lakes!"

"Assert ......"

The strange laughter was as hoarse as a night owl, sending chills down the spine.

The three of them were originally murderers in the prison, and some time ago the cell was tense, and the jailer locked them together.

After exchanging names, I learned that they were all southwesterners, so they drank blood wine, worshipped the handle, and agreed to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year at the entrance of the vegetable market.

In the future, I will be reincarnated as a brother and wander the rivers and lakes.

As a result, he met the amnesty of the new monarch and the world, and he did not die in a catastrophe and got out of the prison alive.

The jailers had already swept them up, and they had no money to buy clothes and food, so they squatted in the capital for a few days, and then started to buy and sell without capital.

easily stole a few rich people, planning to leave the capital overnight, run to the mountains to hide for a few months, and then be at ease after the rumors have passed.

"Oops!"

The third child was in a hurry to chase the two brothers, took a shortcut and stepped on the wall, and suddenly the soles of his feet were tingling and numb.

He was already injured in his legs and feet, and he was unsteady on his feet for a while, and fell from the wall into the trap, and a dozen spikes pierced his chest, and he lost his breath in an instant.

When the second ghost brother heard the movement, he quickly turned around and saw the spikes all over the wall with the help of the moonlight.

fell into the hospital, and when he saw the tragic death of his third brother, he couldn't help but be angry.

"We have always been the only one who kills people and sets fires, how can we make people count to death for no reason!"

The boss also turned around and glanced at the courtyard: "This is a mortuary room, kill the undertaker to avenge the third brother." ”

"As it should be."

The second ghost brother took out the package of the third child, came to the window and dotted the window paper with spittle, and looked inside with one eye, only to feel that the darkness was a little cold.

"Why does it smell like smoke?"

At this point, I only heard a bang, and the window shattered.

The second brother of the ghost was buzzing with melon seeds, and countless iron sand pierced the flesh and blood, embedded in the skull that was tempered like iron, but the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and throat could not stop the iron sand from tearing.

His face was covered with puddles of flesh, and he lay on the ground and gasped for a few breaths, and soon died.

"What a vicious secret weapon!"

Through the broken window, the boss vaguely saw a figure, holding a cylindrical artifact, which was somewhat similar to the thousand barrels and rainstorm needles circulating on the rivers and lakes.

"However, the third-rate sneak attack methods cannot be put on the table after all......"

As he spoke, he jumped a few feet and killed from the window, not afraid of the mysterious secret weapon at all.

Li Ping'an aimed at the landing position, pulled the trigger again, and luckily the two shots were not blinded, and several iron bullets were mixed in the iron sand, overwhelmingly blasting at the thief.

This is the advantage of the shotgun, which is not very demanding on the crosshair.

"Give it to me!"

The boss shouted angrily, and the dantian true air turned to the soles of his feet, and the figure that was about to fall to the ground seemed to be stepping on the air and pulling up a few feet high, out of the range of iron sand.

"Damn ......"

Li Ping'an cursed secretly, threw away the hand cannon, turned around and ran towards the hole in the wall.

"Little thief, where to go."

The boss stepped on the ground, flew sideways through the window, as fast as a meteor, and slapped Li Ping'an's back with both palms.

Li Ping'an picked up an iron shield in front of him, knelt on the bed and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life." ”

"Die!"

The boss's palms were printed in the middle of the shield, and he was forced to sink half an inch, and this kind of force hit the person, even if the steel and iron bones could be discounted.

Zizizi......

"What sound?"

The boss's doubts had just risen, and the shield in front of him erupted with dazzling fire, and his ears were buzzing with the roaring sound, and he only felt severe pain all over his body.

Iron sand and iron bullets drill into the body and tear all the internal organs to pieces.

"Huhuhu...... What is this......"

The boss was lying on the ground, looking at his bloody chest and abdomen, and his face was full of disbelief.

Li Ping'an took out the second hand cannon, fired two shots at the boss's head, and waited until he was completely dead before replying.

"Broadsword mines!"

Shaking off the numb and painful arms, the shield erupted with a huge reverse thrust, and the wrong body was successful, and it could directly break the arms.

After a short rest, Li Ping'an took a sharp knife and cleaned up the two corpses.

Rough digging out of the iron sand, the corpse is bloody and unshaped, and the death is tragic, but it can be blamed for the hidden weapon.

Li Ping'an cleaned up the scene, opened the courtyard gate, and saw dozens of soldiers waiting outside.

The leader was the centurion Li San, and after hearing the report of his subordinates, he immediately brought all the soldiers over, but he was afraid of the thunder and did not dare to go in.

Seeing Li Ping'an come out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Peace, the thief is dead?"

"All dead."

Li Ping'an pointed to the three bloody corpses: "They have tattoos on their faces and torture wounds on their bodies, they should be the murderers of the amnesty a few days ago." ”

Li San took advantage of the firelight to glance at the situation in the courtyard, and was too frightened to ask more.

"Peace, leave it to me to deal with, there will be no other trouble."

"Thank you, third brother."

Li Ping'an stepped out of the way and let the soldiers remove the corpses.

Li Sanping retreated left and right, leaned closer and whispered: "This matter will probably not be reported, and there will be no reward for the yamen, after all, ......"

Needless to say, Li Ping'an can also understand.

A few days after the new monarch granted amnesty to the world, a murderer who had been released from prison entered the house to kill people, which was simply a slap in the face of His Majesty.

Li Ping'an bowed slightly: "I'll just assume that it didn't happen." ”

"That's very good, please eat and drink in peace in a few days."

Li San arched his hand and left in a hurry with his subordinates, leaving a few soldiers to appease the neighbors, and by the way, it was strictly forbidden to discuss tonight's affairs.

Your Majesty's benevolent image must not be damaged in the slightest!

"Hehe, amnesty to the world......"

Li Ping'an shook his head helplessly, disapproving of the amnesty.

The amnesty is not an obstacle to judicial justice, after all, there was no justice in ancient times, but the murderers in the rivers and lakes will not have any repentance at all, let alone feel the emperor's grace.

If it is released, it will be a scourge, and I don't know how many people will suffer.

Back in the courtyard.

Li Ping'an looked at the broken windows and the crumbling roof, which had to be repaired by craftsmen.

"This power is greater than expected!"

When the gunpowder was first added, it was only thought that the more powerful the better, and everything was to survive the killing, and it was a big deal to escape afterwards.

The window sill caused the boss to collapse, and he walked directly through the window to the house, and began to look through the relics of the thief.

"The baggage is full of jewelry, gold and silver, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight thousand taels, which should have been stolen not long ago!"

Li Ping'an's face was happy, and his friends in the rivers and lakes all preached morality and never came to the door empty-handed.

"Practicing the eagle claw skill, and then practicing the iron arm skill and the iron head skill, it is basically a whole body forging, and it is time to save money for the bone quenching."

After estimating the gold and silver, he picked up two books and looked through them.

The same exercise is recorded on it, but the handwriting is different, not only the luck mantra, but also the popular vernacular explanation.

"Kunlun Mixed Yuan Gong!"

After Li Ping'an read it, he was pleasantly surprised, it was a true qi method.

"Looking at the commentary on this exercise formula, it is repeatedly mentioned that the eldest brother said, the eldest brother said, maybe the leading thief taught it to the other two thieves."

"If that's the case, it's three righteous brothers......"

"But the truth still needs to be identified by looking for someone, wait for Yan Chixiao or Zhigang to come!"

True Qi cultivation is extremely dangerous, especially the exercises obtained from thieves, who are cunning and are likely to deliberately omit a few key mantras.

After death, the exercises leak out, and whoever dares to practice will break the meridians, which can be regarded as indirect revenge.

Li Ping'an carefully hid the book in the crack of the wall, compared to the body forging method of two taels of silver, the true qi method is much more precious, and it is worth a thousand gold.

The Heavenly Prison sent many murderers from the rivers and lakes, and very few of them had practiced the True Qigong Method.

After going through the warlock case, the rebellion case, the fraud case, and the friend case, the mortuary was filled one after another, and many of them were proficient in martial arts, but they did not find the true qi method.

Li Ping'an was about to give up, he never thought that joy would fall from the sky, and it didn't take much effort to get it.

"No, it took a lot of work, we almost died!"

A few days after that.

Li Ping'an was busy repairing the house, and after making a windfall, he simply turned the house completely over and repaired it with high-quality masonry.

An additional dark room was built, and the entrance was behind the wardrobe, which was later used for retreat and meditation.

According to the Mixed Yuan Gong, when meditating and cultivating true qi, you must not act rashly, and you need to have the Dharma protector of the same family, so as not to sneak attack for the younger generation.

Li Ping'an has only one of the nine clans, so he can only hide and practice.

this day.

Uncle Zhu came to the door with the corpse on his back, and only after putting it down did he see that the deceased was actually the sixth master.

"The sixth uncle sent a funeral to Qingshan and hanged himself at home, and there is no place to bury it, so I can only send you here."

"Why don't you bury it in the ancestral grave of Wangjia Village?"

Li Ping'an had long heard the talk of the neighbors that Wang Qingshan committed suicide on the eve of the amnesty, which is really a pity.

However, things in prison are not so simple.

Wang Qingshan's grain store is related to the Jiangnan family, and it is obvious that someone did not want him to be amnestied, so he committed suicide before the holy decree was issued.

Uncle Zhu sighed helplessly: "Many young people in the village were implicated, and they hated Qingshan to the core, and they jointly expelled the sixth uncle from the clan. ”

“……”

Li Ping'an was silent, when it was really beautiful, everyone sought after him, and when he was down, everyone spurned.
