Chapter 12: Alone to Shake the Enemy
Hong Zhentian saw Yan Feng and Ma Yan's surprised eyes, and thought that they were shocked because of Yun Xiang's family background, and couldn't help but say proudly: "This is Nangong Yunxiang, the second young master of the Nangong family, who came here by chance to get acquainted with Feng Yikong Feng's seniors. ”
Yun Xiang's face was still cold, and he only nodded slightly when he listened to Hong Zhentian introduce him.
But Yan Feng could also see from his eyes that he was also very surprised to see Yan Feng and the others.
Seeing Yun Xiang, Ma Yan felt a little strange in her heart. I can't say what it is, she may have hated Yun Xiang for taking advantage of people's danger before, but knowing from Fang Yuling that Yun Xiang had helped her brother, this idea disappeared.
Yan Feng's surprise was only temporary, and he had returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "The Nangong family has always been the leader of the martial arts, and I admire it very much. I didn't expect to meet here today, I'm so lucky!"
Hong Zhentian was even more proud in his heart, Yan Feng's behavior was exactly what he wanted. said with a smile: "A trivial matter is not enough to worry about, is there anything Yan Gongzi is worried about now?"
Yan Feng's face was still so ordinary, as if he said with some mockery: "No, I've always been very relieved of adults!"
Hong Zhentian's smile suddenly retracted, and his face sank. Turning to the three of them, he said, "The purpose of inviting the three of them to come, I believe that my master must have explained it to the three of them."
Feng Yikong smiled and said, "Yes, this is great news. If I hadn't heard that the Magic Flute of the East China Sea would kill people, I wouldn't have come!"
Yun Xiang turned his head and turned back, his eyes even more surprised than before. Although he had long known that Yan Feng was not an ordinary person, he didn't expect that he was actually the East China Sea Magic Flute. Of course, Yan Feng saw his eyes and understood what he meant. He only replied to him with a slightly apologetic look, telling him that he didn't mean to hide it from him.
Yun Xiang couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Yan Feng's eyes, why did he feel sorry?
Perhaps because his goal was about to be realized, Hong Zhentian didn't notice the change in Yun Xiang's mood, and with a wave of his hand, he asked a soldier to go down and bring two people over.
The soldier went down and came back in a few moments. The two people who were brought, a man and a woman, said that they were the housekeeper and wife of the county magistrate, but it is unknown whether it is true or not.
"What you two will see, what you know, tell it as it is, and there must be no half-lies", this is the majesty of Zi Lingfeng as the emperor's teacher revealed. Both of them trembled involuntarily, and they both looked at Hong Zhentian.
Hong Zhentian laughed and said, "This is the current emperor's teacher, Lord Zi. Although you will tell what you know, Lord Purple will always be fair and will make decisions for you. ”
"Yes" The two seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and told the story.
In the story they recounted, one night, two figures sneaked into the county lord's mansion and brutally killed the county lord. When he fled, he threw something behind in a panic, but the housekeeper picked it up but it was a flute. And the figures of those two are very similar to Yan Feng and Ma Yan.
The people around listened quietly, and when the housekeeper said that he saw the murderer holding the so-called jade flute, Hong Zhentian took out Yan Feng's flute, compared the evidence brought by the housekeeper and handed it to Feng Yikong, and said: "Senior Feng, you are very knowledgeable, take a look, is this flute the same?"
"This...", Feng Yikong looked at the flute in his hand and hesitated for a moment. He has traveled the world since he was a child, and all kinds of materials and items can be seen at a glance. But this time he was a little confused, because he felt that something was wrong with the two flutes, but he couldn't feel anything wrong.
Just said: "Looking at the two flutes, it should be made of one material!"
Hong Zhentian was overjoyed in his heart, the effect he wanted was about to be achieved, and then he asked: "Feng seniors have said it, can anyone still say that it is wrong?"
Du San didn't, He Yunsheng didn't, Hong Wu didn't.
Although Zi Lingfeng felt that something was wrong, he was not from the rivers and lakes after all, and he didn't understand the matter, so he sighed and said: "I have long heard that the magic flute of the East China Sea is chivalrous and righteous, and he is a bright and upright person. Not only are the people of the rivers and lakes admired, but even the imperial court has many people yearning for it. Although Zi is an official in the court, he also wants to see him. I just didn't expect it...... Alas". He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood it, and he also believed that Yan Feng and the others had done it.
Hearing Zi Lingfeng say this, Hong Zhentian was even happier in his heart, but he defended in his mouth: "This person is just the descendant of the East China Sea Magic Flute, not himself. He also can't represent the character of the Devil Flute of the East China Sea, and it is because we respect the Devil Flute of the East Sea that we openly interrogated him."
Ma Yan sneered, and now she is still hypocritical.
Zi Lingfeng was also stunned, and then suddenly said: "Yes, I made up my mind too early, after all, I haven't really seen the East China Sea Magic Flute."
"Since this is the case, but Mr. Zi decides ......", Hong Zhentian asked Zi Lingfeng, originally although Zi Lingfeng was the emperor's teacher, he didn't have any real power. This kind of thing is almost Hong Zhentian's final say. But his greetings were obviously enough to give Zi Lingfeng face. Even if Ziling Peak is upright, it is very useful.
Zi Lingfeng waved his hand and said, "This is a criminal case, everything is up to Lord Hong." ”
Hong Zhentian was happy again in his heart, and this was what he wanted. Looking at Yan Feng and the others, he frowned and said, "Repay the debt, kill to pay for your life." Now that the results have been obtained, ......". He was about to continue, but suddenly he heard a cold voice.
"Wait" was Yun Xiang who spoke. He hadn't spoken since the beginning, and everyone ignored him a little. As soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, no one thought of it.
Hong Zhentian looked at him, frowned, and thought that he was about to succeed but was interrupted, and he was very unhappy. But because of the wind and the face of the Nangong family, he still said: "Brother Nangong, please say something"!
Yun Xiang looked at Hong Zhentian and said in a cold voice: "Did you hear the words of Senior Feng just now"?
Hong Zhentian was stunned by his question, and subconsciously replied: "Naturally, I heard it, and Senior Feng also said that it was a material."
Yun Xiang said lightly: "Senior Feng seems to be saying that it should be!" The last two words he called were particularly obvious, and everyone was in the same heart.
"Senior Feng, that's what you just said?" Yun Xiang didn't care about the reactions of the people around him, and had already asked the wind in the air.
Feng Yikong glared at Yun Xiang, thinking to himself, didn't you kid want me to make a fool of me, but after all, he was a notary of martial arts, although he was unwilling, he still nodded and said: "Yes, although I have been traveling in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I don't know if this flute is the same material." ”
Hong Zhentian's heart sank, and he couldn't help but feel upset when he saw that he was about to get the result he wanted, but was disrupted by Yun Xiang.
Yun Xiang suddenly turned his head, looked at the so-called butler and said coldly: "You said that this flute was dropped by him"?
I don't know what's going on, the housekeeper looked at Yun Xiang's eyes and was a little scared, and unconsciously ducked to the side. But Yun Xiang's gaze was like having magical power, and no matter how he dodged, it could be fixed on his face.
"Yes...... Yes", said the butler with some trembling.
"Then what's the matter with only half of this flute", Yun Xiang asked again.
"But, it may have been broken by my lord while fighting with him," replied the butler, his voice trembling.
"Since it is broken, there must be two broken flutes, this one, what about the other?" Yun Xiang looked at the butler coldly, as if he wanted to see him through.
"Another, another...", the butler stumbled, "yes, he must have taken it". He was looked at by Yun Xiang, as if he saw the devil. He just wanted to get out of here now, and he didn't even know what he was saying.
Yun Xiang suddenly smiled disdainfully, and his voice was a little colder, "Since he took one flute, why didn't he take the other one away?"
After a series of questions, the housekeeper couldn't answer them, and he was already in a cold sweat. He didn't know what to say anymore.
Hong Zhentian frowned again, he didn't expect this young man to be so smart, this is very difficult.
The housekeeper was still trembling, Hong Zhentian had already taken the words, and said with a very bad face: "Brother Nangong means that the murderer is someone else"?
Yun Xiang nodded and said, "Actually, I know that they haven't been to the county government at all. ”
Hong Zhentian couldn't help but ask, "Oh, how does Little Brother Nangong know?"
Yun Xiang said indifferently: "Because I have been with them for the past few days. ”
Hong Zhen was shocked, and everyone was shocked. No one expected that Yunxiang knew them.
Hong Zhentian's heart was even heavier, and after being surprised, he said, "It turns out that you know them." ”
"Not bad", Yun Xiang admitted.
Hong Zhentian snorted coldly and said, "Then, your testimony doesn't count!"
"Why?"
Hong Zhentian said: "Because you know them, you are their friend." Friends' proofs don't count".
Yun Xiang's eyes were also cold, "Who said this?"
"Since ancient times, honest parents and officials have agreed."
"Then they are not incorruptible, they are idiots".
The faces of the people present changed, and Hong Zhentian was even colder.
Yun Xiang then said something that shocked everyone present: "In fact, Yucheng County ordered that kind of person, it is not a pity to kill it." ”
"What do you mean by Brother Nangong?" Hong Zhentian's face sank suddenly, and he looked at Mo Xiang coldly. If it weren't for the fact that Yun Xiang was from the Nangong family and was brought by the wind, I'm afraid he would have already made a move.
"Little brother be cautious", Feng Yikong looked at Yun Xiang a little anxious, this sentence must have annoyed Hong Zhentian. He and Yun Xiang met on the way, and he really regarded Yun Xiang as a friend. Although Yunxiang is very indifferent, he is also a person who is angry. He didn't want anything to happen to Yunxiang.
And Zi Lingfeng was also faintly worried about this young man, he was also an official, of course he knew Hong Zhentian's methods. Even if the boy found a flaw in the evidence, how could he say this? And he was obviously not very happy about his slander against the officials of the imperial court.
Yun Xiang just said lightly: "My meaning is very clear, don't say that there is no killing, even if you kill that county order, you are not guilty." ”
Hong Zhentian looked at Yun Xiang coldly, and suddenly said: "This is the official family, and the county order is a person from the imperial court, not the rivers and lakes." Here, for whatever reason, killing someone is paying for your life."
Yun Xiang's gaze did not back down at all, and said coldly: "I said that they are not murderers, but you are so aggressive, if every official is like you, I am afraid that this court will be finished."
His words angered Hong Zhentian and the others, and even more shocked the two of them. "Little brother, don't talk nonsense, this is a big sin"!
The wind was in a hurry, but Zi Lingfeng's face sank. He was the emperor's teacher and was obviously very dissatisfied with Yun Xiang's words.
"Spreading rumors, slandering the court, capital crime", the cold tone came from behind Yun Xiang, and Hongwu finally couldn't help it. Holding the newly replaced steel knife in his hand, he walked towards Yunxiang with an unkind gaze.
Yun Xiang didn't seem to see him, but said indifferently to Hong Zhentian: "Your dog barks here, don't you care about it?"
"You...", Hong Wu was just about to have a seizure, Hong Zhentian had already raised his hand to stop him from saying: "Hong Wu retreat". Hong Wu glanced at Yun Xiang fiercely, and then retreated.
"Hong Wu is my right-hand man, he is not a dog", Hong Zhentian looked at Yun Xiang coldly, "And I advise, this is the Criminal Department, not the Nangong family, please don't meddle in your affairs."
His words were clear, this was already the limit of his endurance. He has been taking care of the Nangong family behind Yun Xiang. But if Yun Xiang provokes again, he will not be polite.
Yun Xiang didn't seem to hear the threat in his words, and just said: "I just want justice, but it's a pity that Lord Hong is far from the rumors in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Justice"? Hong Zhentian laughed wildly, and suddenly he didn't know when there was an extra mace in his hand, and he swung it at Yun Xiang violently.
"Little brother be careful", Feng Yikong hurriedly reminded.
"Lord Hong can't," Zi Lingfeng said hurriedly, although he was also dissatisfied with Yun Xiang's previous words. But after all, he is an upright man who only wants to convince people with reason.
But Hong Zhentian couldn't listen to it at the moment, seeing that the goal was achieved, but he was disrupted by Yun Xiang, how could he bear it.
There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the snow sword was unsheathed at some point.
Hong Zhentian looked at Yun Xiang blankly, while Yun Xiang looked at him coldly. No matter how hard Hong Zhentian tried, the sword in Yun Xiang's hand still didn't move at all.
"Whew", secretly a yin wind hit Mo Xiang, it was He Yunsheng. He knew that today's events would not end well, so he made the first move.
With a "bang", Yun Xiang shook off Hong Zhentian's mace, and Hong Zhentian took a few steps back. At this time, He Yunsheng's palms had already come, and Yun Xiang's cold face still did not change. The Tilting Snow Sword tilted slightly and stabbed at He Yunsheng's palm.
This ordinary sword scared He Yunsheng. He asked himself if he didn't dare to meet a long sword in his fleshy palm, so he had to hold back his attack and retreat.
Yun Xiang was not as merciful as Yan Feng, and as soon as he found an opportunity, he took advantage of the victory to pursue him. The Snow Falling Sword stabbed straight through and was aggressive. He Yunsheng was shocked, but he couldn't dodge this ordinary sword.
With a "bang", the long pierced his chest. He Yunsheng was almost fainting in pain, he felt that the sword had been pierced into his muscles and bones, and there was no danger to his life, but he could not move it for a short time.
The moment he fell, a thought flashed through his mind: "This person may be stronger than the East China Sea Magic Flute."
"Ah" shouted, and Hong Zhentian moved. He was not far from Yunxiang, and it was most convenient to make a move at this time.
There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the sword and stick wanted to be handed over again. Hong Zhentian was shocked again, Yun Xiangxiang didn't hide, but bumped into him. According to common sense, how could a thin long sword fight a mace? But it was this thin long sword that caught his two attacks hard.
"Ding Ding Ding", the sound was still very brittle, and Yun Xiang couldn't dodge at all and collided with Hong Zhentian. Hong Zhentian attacked the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths, but found that his tiger's mouth was gradually numb. Suddenly a little self-deprecating and depressed, is this the difference in the ranking of the masters?
As soon as Du San saw Yun Xiang make a move, he was shocked in an instant, so that He Yunsheng could no longer act. But he was inconvenient to act at the moment. Because Feng Yikong and Ziling Peak are still on the side, if they all shoot, even if they win, they will lose their reputation.
After a few confrontations with Hong Zhentian, Yun Xiang turned around and came behind him unconsciously, his long sword shaking.
Hong Zhentian was shocked and took a gear with a mace. With a "ding", the snow sword stabbed on the mace. Hong Zhentian only felt that his arms were numb, and he was no longer powerless to stop it, only to feel a huge force driving his mace towards his chest.
The spikes of the mace pierced his chest in an instant, and Hong Zhentian was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth and arms almost with all his strength, before he could barely push the Falling Snow Sword back.
Soybean-like beads of sweat fell from Hong Zhentian's head, he had exhausted all his strength just now, and he couldn't help but weaken and knelt on one knee.
"My lord!" Hong Wu shouted anxiously, drawing his saber and slashing at Yun Xiang. The knife he had just now was snatched away by Ma Yan and broken, and this was a new knife.
Yun Xiang's answer was only a sneer.
With a "ding", his knife met the long sword and was broken in an instant.
"You..."! Hong Wu was speechless, he found that this person's martial arts seemed to be more terrifying than Yan Feng and Ma Yan combined.
In fact, they all overestimated themselves a little, or underestimated Yan Feng. If it weren't for Yan Feng's lack of wanting to cause trouble when he just left the island, coupled with Ma Yan's drag, these people wouldn't have been able to catch him at all.
"Whoosh", Yun Xiang shot again, this time the target turned out to be Hongwu's throat, without mercy. The onlookers were shocked, could it be that someone was going to die in the lobby today?
And at this moment, even if Du San wanted to make a move, it was too late to rescue. Feng Yikong was also stunned by Yun Xiang, although he knew that Yun Xiang was from the Nangong family, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Suddenly, Yun Xiang's sword stopped, but it was not that he wanted to let Hong Wu go, but that someone stopped him.
"Don't kill. Yan Feng stood in front of Yun Xiang, pinched his sword with his index finger and thumb, and then warned him in a voice that only two people could hear: "What's more, it's a person from the imperial court, the Nangong family will be in trouble." ”
Yun Xiang looked at Yan Feng who suddenly appeared, his eyes were a little surprised, and then he glanced at Hong Wu and said coldly: "Count you lucky", and then withdrew his Snow Falling Sword.
Du San looked at Yan Feng who was standing there, and his heart became even heavier. I didn't expect Yan Feng to unlock his acupoint so quickly, plus this Yun Xiang, I'm afraid ......
At this time, Yan Feng spoke. "It's just a misunderstanding, don't dwell on it."
"Yan Feng, you ......", Ma Yan doesn't have the ability of Yan Feng, and now the acupoint has not been unlocked. Can she not be angry after this humiliation?
Yan Feng bent down and unlocked the acupoints on Ma Yan's body. His movements were slow, apparently due to his internal injuries that had not yet healed. Seeing his appearance, Ma Yan was a little ashamed, but she didn't care about Yan Feng's words just now.
"No one is at fault, the best thing is to solve the misunderstanding, is Lord Hong willing to solve this misunderstanding?" Yan Feng asked. His words undoubtedly gave everyone a step down. I don't know if I saw Yun Xiang's strength, but everyone didn't speak.
Hong Zhentian and the others were still hesitating, but Yun Xiang spoke again, "I didn't want to be your enemy, I just hope that you don't wronged innocent people."
He pointed to Yan Feng and Ma Yan, and said, "I did be with him and the two of them in those days, and I made sure that they had not entered the county office."
Du San's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart. suddenly laughed and said, "Since it is the Nangong brothers who make the guarantee, I will naturally rest assured." Lord Hong, do you think so too?" ?
