What to do?

Xu Taiping was in a dilemma.

Run away.

Or find a way to deal with the anger of the county commander Zhou Yucheng.

The former is safer.

The latter is full of dangers, and it is even possible that Zhou Yucheng will be recognized and killed on the spot.

But choosing the former means becoming a wanted criminal, not only to be incognito, but also to suspend development.

Choosing the latter, once you can fool Zhou Yucheng, you can continue to develop steadily.

What to do?

Xu Taiping thought quickly.

A moment later.

Make a choice.

picked up Xu Qing's body and rushed to the county office.

broke through the obstruction of the officials and rushed directly into Zhou Yucheng's living room.

Get on your knees directly.

Wail.

"Boom-"

"My lord, save Master Xu-"

Zhou Yucheng rushed out of the bedroom in his pajamas.

I saw Xu Qing covered in feathered arrows.

His face changed drastically: "Who did it?" ”

"A group of archers."

"Nonsense, Master Xu is a third-rate realm martial cultivator, how could he be shot by a group of archers?"

Xu Taiping kowtowed.

After a few strokes, his head broke and his blood flowed.

At the same time, he cried bitterly: "Xu, Master Xu, in order to protect his subordinates, only to resist the attack, and, and with wounds to kill more than ten archers, Cai, died of exhaustion." ”

Zhou Yucheng's face changed again: "How is it possible?" ”

Xu Taiping continued to cry bitterly: "The subordinates also thought that they would definitely die, Bi, after all, the subordinates and Master Xu have only known each other for ten days, but Master Xu said ......."

"What did he say?"

"Master Xu said......"

"Say!"

"Master Xu said that his subordinates are right, and you are very important to adults, and he also said that his subordinates have a bright future, so let his subordinates live well......"

Zhou Yucheng heard this.

The complexion changes.

The mood is more complicated.

This Xu Qing ...... is just a master, but he is so loyal, he would rather die than protect his plan from being affected.

But the official kept it a secret from him and didn't tell him the full content of the plan.

It's a pity.

is also a good assistant who can write and martial arts.

However, keeping Xu Taiping's head catcher did save a lot of trouble.

Plans are about to begin, and temporary substitutions are no ordinary hassle.

Lucky.

But, who is the murderer?

Thinking of this question, Zhou Yucheng's face became extremely ugly again.

Squatted down, grabbed Xu Qing's wrist and tried it.

Shaking his head: "What else did Master Xu say?" ”

"He also said, he also said that his subordinates would take care of ......"

"Take care of what?"

"If you don't finish it, you ......"

When Xu Taiping said this, he grabbed the ground with his head again, howling and crying, tears mixed with blood flowed down, and he was as sad as he wanted.

Zhou Yucheng sighed: "It must be for you to help take care of his family." ”

"Where is Master Xu's family?"

"You don't have to worry about it, the official will take care of it," Zhou Yucheng stretched out his hand and wiped it on Xu Qing's face, and asked lightly: "Get up, the official will ask you." ”

"My lord, excuse me."

"Do you know where the archers came from?"

"The subordinates don't know, only, only know that there are no less than fifty people, all of them are strong bows and arrows, and they are strictly disciplined, when they are chased and killed by Master Xu, some people are not afraid of death, and cover the retreat of others at the cost of more than 20 people."

Zhou Yucheng narrowed his eyes.

Xu Taiping continued to kowtow: "My lord, the scene is still complete, beg, beg my lord to use his magic power to track down the murderer......"

Zhou Yucheng ignored it.

Xu Taiping continued to kowtow.

After a few dozen strokes.

Almost fainted.

Zhou Yucheng turned a blind eye, lowered his head and groped on Xu Qing's body, took out all Xu Qing's relics, piled them aside, and examined them carefully.

When Xu Taiping woke up from his fainting, he said lightly: "Get up and investigate the case, this official orders you to find the murderer within three days and avenge Master Xu!" ”

Xu Taiping Huo Ran got up.

Let the blood continue to flow.

Commanded with a decisive voice: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

After speaking.

Turn around and go.

Return to the fast catcher class.

Blow the assembly whistle.

Suddenly.

The people of the city woke up from their sleep, each in a panic, not knowing what was happening, but closed the doors and windows and prayed that it would not be affected.

A quarter of an hour later.

All the catchers gathered in the catcher class.

Pick up equipment, especially lighting equipment such as torches and gas lanterns.

Follow the murderous Xu Taiping to check.

To the scene of the crime.

The crowd quickly brushed the brush and gasped.

Arrow?

Corpses all over the ground?

Is this the scene of the crime?

This is the battlefield!

It's tragic.

Wu Liuyi asked in a low voice: "Master Xu, what's the situation?" ”

Xu Taiping pointed to Xu Qing's dead location with a cold face: "This head catcher and Master Xu were ambushed by a group of archers, Master Xu...... He's dead. ”

"Huh?"

"How is that possible?"

"Master Xu is the county master's person!"

"Is the murderer going to rebel?"

"It's a felony to possess a bow and crossbow."

"This, this, where are so many archers in Jianyang County?"

"Is it a Jianghu person or a ......"

"Shhhh

The crowd quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and each of them was uneasy.

Wu Liuyi asked in a lower voice: "Master Xu, this, how can I check this?" ”

Xu Taiping pointed to the shops where the murderer was hiding: "Starting from these shops, the owner, the shopkeeper, the junior, and the apprentice are all arrested.

"Bring all those corpses back to the trapping class, take inventory of their belongings, pile them up, don't get confused.

"The murder weapons, especially the bow and arrow, are all sealed, and when the head of the book is carefully inspected, there will be clues.

"In addition, find two hounds and follow the head of the hunt to chase the fleeing murderer.

"Also, divide a group of people, investigate from house to house, and ask if there are any witnesses, but anyone who provides effective information will be seriously injured in this arrest, Wu Liuyi, you and Zhou Dafu are responsible for this."

Wu Liuyi hurriedly received the order.

Xu Taiping's face was cold, but there was a murderous flicker in his eyes.

The whole body is full of awe-inspiring aura that no one can approach.

Let the crowd catch fast and dare not slack off.

Soon.

There are two hounds that are quickly recruited.

Xu Taiping led Zheng Bowen and more than 20 others to lead a team to track down, but they only chased out half a mile and lost it.

Xu Taiping was furious.

Led the team home.

Personally inspect each archer's body, belongings, clothing, weapons, and write detailed notes, down to height, face, weight, body shape, etc.

Until dawn.

Only then did he stare at his red eyes and beg to see Zhou Yucheng.

Enter the house.

He put down the thick stack of records and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, my subordinates have not been able to track the retreat route of the murderer, and have only recorded and analyzed the corpse, belongings, and murder weapon. ”

Zhou Yucheng also had a cold face: "What did you analyze?" ”

"One, this group of murderers came prepared."

"Oh?"

"Because they barely carry anything that can prove their identity."

"Anything else?"

"Second, the murderer is hiding in the city."

"Are you sure?"

"If the murderers came from afar, they must have carried dry food and water to maintain their strength, but they did not carry anything, which shows that their starting location and the purpose of retreat are very close, and the total time and distance required for the ambush and retreat are enough to prove it."

"Anything else?"

"Three, the murderer was a trained professional archer."

"How can it be proven?"

"The calluses on the murderer's fingers are all in the same position, which proves that their bow opening techniques are highly uniform, all of them are thumb string fastening, and only the calluses left by the thumb buttoning string show that they only practice bows and arrows every day, and do not practice other weapons."

Speaking of which.

Xu Taiping said with a solemn face: "My lord, in the city, there is only one place that meets these three requirements. ”
