Chapter X: Invitation from the Criminal Department

"Fang Yuling", Ma Yan's face was already blue at the moment, obviously she had read this note before, and kept saying: "Fang Yuling, one day, I will kill you to avenge my brother."

Yan Feng was silent when he heard her words.

Ma Yan turned her gaze to Yan Feng and said, "Didn't she say that she had a gift for you?" ”

The two of them walked according to Fang Yuling's previous words, and went out three miles southeast of the door, which was in this direction. And this time Ma Yan didn't use light work, and the two walked slowly one after the other.

"It is estimated that Fang Yuling was startled", Yan Feng was walking in front, but Ma Yan suddenly spoke in the back, startling Yan Feng.

"Why?" Yan Feng asked as he slowed down and walked side by side with Ma Yan.

Ma Yan looked at Yan Feng, lowered her head again, as if she was thinking a little, and then said, "She didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it, that you are actually the East China Sea Magic Flute." ”

Hearing Ma Yan say this, Yan Feng seemed to be very natural, and smiled: "What's impossible?

After listening to Yan Feng's words, Ma Yan shook her head again and said, "No, you are not the East China Sea Magic Flute, you are his apprentice, right?"

Yan Feng smiled: "This is natural, the name of the East China Sea Magic Flute has been for twenty years, am I that old?"

"It's not a matter of time, it's that the real East China Sea Magic Flute won't be like you"!

Yan Feng asked curiously, "I, how am I?"

Ma Yanyou glanced at Yan Feng, and said angrily: "Stupid and stupid, I never pay attention to what others say, and I always look like a good person."

β€œ......”

Yan Feng really didn't expect that he was like this in Ma Yan's mind, what else could he do, and he could only smile bitterly. And Ma Yan saw Yan Feng's wry smile, and there was actually a smile on the corner of her mouth. Although it was only for a moment, it was still captured by Yan Feng. Yan Feng was happy in his heart, Ma Yan didn't care what attitude he had, but he was afraid that Ma Yan wouldn't say anything and be lifeless all day long.

It seems that Yan Feng's chat has become very pleasant, and Ma Yan's walking speed is actually much happier. And she was fast, Yan Feng naturally couldn't slow down. Three miles away, less than a tea time.

From a distance, the place they were going to was actually a mansion. And that mansion is also surprisingly big, Yan Feng has been in Yucheng for a few days. It's not that I haven't seen a big mansion, but compared to the one in front of me, it's like a heaven and an underground.

And there was a large crowd around this mansion, and everyone was whispering something. This made Yan Feng and Ma Yan even more curious. Take a few quick steps, get closer, and look towards the mansion. Seeing this, the two of them were suddenly shocked.

Above the door of the big mansion, there was a bloody human head. Ma Yan's face changed suddenly, and her stomach kept churning and she almost vomited.

Although she had seen dead people, they were all very peaceful. It was the first time she had seen such a mutilated part. Yan Feng forcibly endured the nausea in his heart and looked at the face of the human head. I was surprised to find that its owner was actually the county magistrate of Nayu City.

"Gift, is this it?" Ma Yan's heart did not fluctuate, this county Taiye County is also her enemy, although it is a little disgusting to look at people, but it is not a big deal.

And the crowd of onlookers around them, although they were a little horrified when they looked at the death of the county master, but after all, the county master had been rampant and domineering in Yucheng for a long time. Although there is some fear, there are actually more people who can relieve their anger.

The only difference is Yan Feng, he thinks that these five poisonous spirits killed this county master because of himself.

The Five Poison Spirit Son, it is really so ruthless! Yan Feng's right hand suddenly clenched, and the note in his hand turned into powder in an instant. Of course, Ma Yan also noticed his appearance, and was slightly shocked in her heart. Ever since she met Yan Feng, she has been in contact with Yan Feng who is gentle or a little dull. Now she was really shocked by this somewhat angry look.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to comfort Yan Feng, suddenly a very discordant voice sounded in her ears: "They are here"! She felt a few eyes fixed on the two of them.

The voice was a little harsh, and it was still a little familiar, but for a while Ma Yan couldn't remember who it was!

As soon as the words fell, Ma Yan and Yan Feng both felt that several people had surrounded them. His brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to look at the source of the voice, and Yan Feng sighed again.

What did he see? A slightly bloated man, with eyes that were so small, but they were very round. stared at Yan Feng and Ma Yan without turning his gaze. The most striking thing is that he only has one arm. The entire right arm is gone.

Yan Feng knew this person, and he provoked this person on the first day he came to Yucheng. He's, Steward King!

Steward Wang's words fell, and a man wearing a military uniform and a helmet came to Yan Feng. Looking at the appearance of Yan Feng's scholar, and then at the appearance of Ma Yan's girl, he frowned, and said to Steward Wang on the side, "You didn't admit your mistake?"

As soon as he spoke, he actually came out with a somewhat strong voice, which was not the voice of an ordinary man. With this, Yan Feng could conclude that this person must have learned martial arts and had a certain amount of internal force cultivation.

"yes, that's them. A few days ago, the villain's entire arm was cut off, and the county magistrate went to them to theorize, but they were also driven away. Let the villain go to the adults for help, who knows ......", as he spoke, Steward Wang actually knelt on the ground and cried at the head of the county master. When he cried on his bloated face, it made people feel sick.

"Who knows, before the adults came, the county lord was poisoned by them. Look, my lord, they appeared here just after the death of the county magistrate, isn't this the best evidence, hurry up and arrest them to avenge the county magistrate and the villain!" The more the Wang steward spoke, the more excited he became, and he burst into tears, causing the people around him to leave.

The man in military uniform frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Steward Wang's appearance, but he didn't say anything. Turning his head to Yan Feng and the others, he said, "Judging from these things, you two are the most suspicious. But what can you refute"?

Yan Feng hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Ma Yan smiled coldly, "Are you going to arrest us based on this fat man's words?" We are just one of the onlookers, and according to what he said, the onlookers will be suspicious. There are so many onlookers here, why don't you arrest them all."

Hearing Ma Yan's righteous indignant words, the man in military uniform was also stunned. But no one had said such a thing to him for a long time, and there was a little anger in my heart. His face gradually turned cold. "The affairs of the rivers and lakes should have been the rivers and lakes. But since the deceased is an official of the imperial court, I have to take care of it. Please come with me to the Criminal Department, and if it is confirmed that you are not murderers, I will naturally let you go."

Ma Yan's face became more and more heavy, and her right hand had already held the handle of the mandarin duck knife, and said coldly: "Officials and officials protect each other, if we go with you, how can there be a day when the truth will be revealed?"

The man in the military uniform also said: "If it is proved that the two are innocent, I will send them out." I promise".

Ma Yan's face turned even colder: "What guarantee do you have?"

The man in military uniform puffed out his chest and said, "Just rely on the four words of silver wolf iron rod."

Originally, Yan Feng had already decided that if Ma Yan was unwilling to go, he would follow Ma Yan to escape, although there would be some trouble. But who knows, Ma Yan heard the words silver wolf iron rod, and her face actually softened a little. He asked in a strange tone, "You are Hong Zhentian's subordinate."

The man in military uniform frowned slightly when he heard Ma Yan call his boss like this, but he still nodded.

"That's good", under Yan Feng's surprised gaze, Ma Yan had already let go of the hand holding the mandarin duck knife and said, "I'll go with you."

The man in the military uniform was also relieved, obviously, he also knew that the two people in front of him were not ordinary people.

"Don't worry, as soon as we find out that you are innocent, we will let you go. Please ...... the weapon", he pointed to Ma Yan's mandarin duck knife.

Ma Yan nodded, took off the mandarin duck knife, and handed it to the man. This point was even more strange in Yan Feng's eyes, what kind of person was that Hong Zhentian, who actually allowed Ma Yan to calm down.

"Do you still use mine?" Although he was a little puzzled, Yan Feng still asked and pointed to the flute in his hand.

The man glanced at Yan Feng's flute, obviously didn't pay attention to it, and shook his head.

These people didn't treat Yan Feng and the others as big prisoners, and they didn't use a prisoner cart, but found a carriage for the two.

Sitting in the carriage, Ma Yan found Yan Feng looking at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel strange, so she asked, "What kind of eyes are you?"

Yan Feng didn't hide the doubts in his heart at all, and said, "I thought you wouldn't agree. ”

Ma Yan lowered her head and said, "My eldest brother told me before, the rivers and lakes are in trouble, don't go against the court." It's a big deal to provoke the enemies of the rivers and lakes, but if you provoke the court, although the world is big, there is nowhere to live. There was once an old-timer with extremely strong martial arts who provoked the imperial court and was wanted by the world, and finally died tragically in a foreign land. ”

Yan Feng asked puzzledly: "You also said just now that officials protect each other, why did you change your mind?"

After Yan Feng said this, he saw Ma Yan looking at him with strange eyes. This kind of vision was also used by the two when Ma Yan and Yunxiang were dueling. Yan Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly again, did he have something he didn't know again.

Sure enough, Ma Yan looked at Yan Feng with wide eyes and said, "Don't you know what kind of person the silver wolf iron rod is?"

Yan Feng really didn't want to say it, but he had to say it again, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say I don't know what kind of person he is, I don't even know who he is"?

Ma Yan seemed to be completely defeated by him, and he didn't bother to taunt him, but just explained: "Silver Wolf Iron Rod, the thirty-fifth place on the list of martial arts masters." He is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is also an official of the imperial court and a servant of the criminal department."

Yan Feng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, didn't pay attention, but the thirty-fifth place on the master list attracted Yan Feng. "People in the rivers and lakes can still be officials"?

Ma Yan said: "This is natural, this is also his strength. And I heard that this person is upright, and any difficult case can be easily solved in his hands."

"So as soon as you heard that it was him, did you feel at ease?" Yan Feng finally understood, it seems that in the past twenty years, there have been a lot of changes on the list. Master probably doesn't know, otherwise he would have told himself.

"Look", Yan Feng was thinking, and Ma Yan suddenly pointed to the outside of the carriage. Yan Feng's gaze followed the direction of her finger, and saw Steward Wang standing beside the man in military uniform and saying something.

When Yan Feng saw this scene, he just sighed and said, "I don't know what this Steward Wang said, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing."

Ma Yan snorted coldly. Said: "It is useless for him to say anything, you watch"!

Yan Feng continued to read, only to see that after Steward Wang finished saying those words, the man in military uniform frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied. And Steward Wang smiled, not knowing what he took out of his arms and brought it to him. The face of the man in military uniform changed suddenly, and he kicked Steward Wang. Steward Wang screamed in pain and rolled aside.

The man in military uniform said a few words coldly, and then returned to the team and left with Yan Feng and the others.

Seeing this, Yan Feng seemed to understand. He sighed and said, "This silver wolf iron rod is indeed a trustworthy person."

Ma Yan nodded, obviously agreeing with his words, but she never thought that this world was the most fickle. What you once thought would eventually become.

When they arrived at the Criminal Department, the two of them saw Hong Zhentian, who was a rugged man, and he did have a bit of a upright appearance, but that's all.

The ensuing series of atmospheres made the two obviously feel wrong, as if they had been pressing the charges on the two people. No matter how the two argued, they couldn't get rid of it.

It lasted for a few hours, and Ma Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I really didn't expect it", Ma Yan looked at Hong Zhentian and the others and smiled coldly, and said: "The so-called silver wolf iron rod is just a waste of fame, you are the same as other corrupt officials."

Yan Feng also sighed, when Ma Yan said that Hong Zhentian was very upright, he still sighed that there are good officials in this world, but it's a pity......

Ma Yan's words are like a poisonous needle, straight into everyone's heart, no matter who listens to it, it will not feel good. But unexpectedly, Hong Zhentian seemed to ponder for a while, lowered his head, and did not have a seizure!

After a long time, Hong Zhentian raised his head and looked at Yan Feng and the others with a solemn face. He said in a heavy tone: "Yes, I am indeed a wasted name." ”

Ma Yan was stunned, she didn't expect Hong Zhentian to admit it frankly.

When Yan Feng heard this, he sighed slightly and said, "Although you are not a good official, you can be regarded as a man who dares to be a man."

Hong Zhentian was stunned for a moment when he heard Yan Feng's praise. Suddenly, the gloom on his face vanished. His eyes flashed, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, if I can let the East China Sea Magic Flute praise me like this, I Hong Zhentian will not live in vain."

This time it was Yan Feng's turn to be surprised, and asked, "Do you recognize me?"

Hong Zhentian frowned slightly, obviously realizing that he had slipped his mouth, but he still nodded: "If it weren't for that, why would I risk my own name."

"Why is this?" Yan Feng was even more puzzled, it turned out that it wasn't for anything else, but just for the four words of the East China Sea Magic Flute?

Hong Zhentian was about to explain something, but Ma Yan suddenly interjected and said coldly: "Don't you understand? Such behavior is naturally for the sake of ranking on the list"!

Hong Zhentian wanted to speak and stopped, but said: "She is right, you can understand it this way."

Ma Yan sneered: "It's me who is too naΓ―ve, although you are an upright official, you are also a Jianghu person." Every Jianghu person will fancy the ranking of the master list."

"Not bad", anyway, he has torn his face, Hong Zhentian was relieved, without a trace of pretentiousness, and said indifferently: "That's right"!

Ma Yan listened to Hong Zhentian's undisguised words, snorted disdainfully, and said, "What can you do with these few people?"

Ma Yan's cold gaze swept around, and there was only one prefect named He Yunsheng and a cold-faced master, Du San. There was also the officer Hong Wu who brought Yan Feng and the others to the Criminal Department before, as well as five or six ordinary soldiers. With just such people, Ma Yan is confident that even if Yan Feng doesn't make a move, he can deal with it.

Hong Zhentian said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate anyone, Hong Wu," Hong Wu, who drank in a low voice beside Ma Yan, had already moved.

Hong Wu's face was solemn, holding the steel knife at his waist in one hand, obviously knowing that the two people in front of him were not easy to deal with. But he would never disobey Hong Zhentian's orders, even if it was to die!

Walking towards Ma Yan step by step, Ma Yan snorted coldly. Before Feng Hongwu came to him, he had already made the first move. The mandarin duck knife was handed over before, and now it can only be used as a palm. Everything in his right hand cut into Hongwu's throat.

Just when Ma Yan was about to attack Hong Wu, Hong Wu suddenly had a hand and actually blocked Ma Yan's offensive. But before it was over, the right hand had already released the handle of the knife, and it actually made an eagle claw or something like that.

Ma Yan was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that this Hongwu had actually learned martial arts such as grappling, and it seemed that she had underestimated him. However, the surprise only lasted for a while, and at this time it reflected the difference between Ma Yan, the stronger the enemy, the more unconvinced she became.

Looking at Hong Wu's hand, his left hand was quickly lifted and cut at his wrist. Hong Wu suffered, after all, his wrist was a famous family in the human body, and even his physique couldn't stand it. Hurriedly withdrew his right hand and stepped back.

Ma Yan was willing to let him go, and with his right foot, he came close to Hong Wu. But at the moment when Ma Yan attacked, the five soldiers who were watching around actually shot at the same time. The five steel knives shot together, instantly sealing Ma Yan's whole body.

Yan Feng and Hong Zhentian didn't make a move at first, just watched Ma Yan fight from the sidelines. At this moment, seeing the speed of those five soldiers and the tacit cooperation, it was obvious that they were specially trained.

"Be careful", as soon as she finished speaking, Yan Feng took a step sideways, ready to help Ma Yan.

But he only took one step, and the moment he moved, a thick momentum enveloped Yan Feng's body. can have such momentum, who are the people present except Hong Zhentian?

Hong Zhentian didn't make a move at first, not because he didn't plan to let the two go. Instead, he was waiting, waiting for Yan Feng to reveal his flaws. He knew that Yan Feng was not easy to deal with, so he kept waiting.
