Fight again
The next day, a very strange thing happened in Lidu: three masters of the Second Heaven with good strength were hung in front of the East City Gate to show the public, but the punishment after the demonstration was not execution, but continued detention.
According to the law, there is no crime that needs to be dealt with in this way, and those who need to be shown are all extremely vicious and heinous criminals, and they are usually escorted to the execution ground to be executed after three days.
The unheard-of and unseen method of disposition is simply child's play, when a crime is committed, it can be repaid with silver taels in an open and open manner? Is there still justice in this world? Is there really a rich man who can do whatever he wants?
The passers-by immediately became indignant, and then pressed the officers and soldiers, demanding a reasonable explanation, otherwise the matter would not be over. Of course, the endless here is to block the yamen, ask the town guard to explain, if it is not as good as they want, they will have to find someone in the martial arts to administer justice.
At this time, Wan Qingliu, who knew early in the morning that there would be a mess, walked out slowly and said: "Don't get excited, there is a reason for this matter, these three people are stealing chickens and dogs, and they were caught stealing from a businessman last night, and they would have gone through the normal process to solve it, but according to the businessman's reaction, he was damaged a lot by the rough behavior of these three people, and he suffered a lot of losses, and they also tried to prostitute themselves without giving money, which is naturally unacceptable to businessmen."
It is natural to repay debts, but these three people are really poor, they don't have any silver and valuable things on them, and according to the investigation, they are also from other places, so naturally there is no home to use as collateral, which is troublesome, and the government can't pay back the money on their behalf, right?
That money is really important for a small businessman, and I believe you have also experienced this, but the government and the court can never pay in advance, and there is no such reason and cannot set such a precedent, so we finally made this decision.
So I also ask the friends of these three people to come here to pay the fine as soon as they see it, and I can do it easily, of course, the silver of these fines, except for the tax silver, our officials from the capital will not touch even a penny. ”
When he said this, everyone immediately fell silent, looking at the three people who had obviously been punished, and then looking at Wan Qingliu, who was awe-inspiring and domineering as he spoke, where could they still complain?
So in the end, they just watched a joke and told this interesting story to their relatives and friends, and finally basically spread it throughout the entire Lidu, but when the latecomers wanted to go to the scene, they found that they were a step late, not only the three prisoners had been let go, but even the signs that had been erected had disappeared, everything was as if nothing had happened, if it weren't for so many people talking about this, they would have thought that it was such a thing that their friends had come up with, after all, they didn't think that the government would be so considerate of a small businessman.
In fact, it is indeed as they thought, if it weren't for the fact that Shangguan Yi had some relationship with Wan Qingliu, and promised that all the silver recovered belonged to Wan Qingliu, this matter was really not so easy to handle, after all, everyone inside and outside had to take care of the relationship, and there were a lot of expenses and connections.
This account was naturally calculated on Li Qingchen's head, he dared to send someone to arrest Shangguan Yi, if he wanted to force Zhang San to comply, he had to pay the price, after all, no matter what he did, it was risky.
For this, Li Qingchen paid three hundred taels of silver, and he also got a stomach. He had to redeem people, because if it fell into the hands of others, his plans might be exposed, but the process of redemption was too embarrassing. When he was in the Yamen, those people seemed to regard Li Qingchen as an accomplice, ostensibly telling him to abide by the law, but in fact they were sarcastically saying that he was a villain who stole chickens and dogs and did not do business, and said that he was in a different way. After that, the yamen sent an officer and soldier to take him to the city gate to release people, and when he met acquaintances along the way, he would shout loudly about his purpose, which caused the people around him to look at him and talk about it, which made Li Qingchen quite embarrassed, not to mention the process of putting the three of them down in full view, an embarrassment is no longer enough to describe Li Qingchen's feelings in his heart.
Of course, in addition to the embarrassment, Li Qingchen was more annoyed in his heart, thanks to this incident, the whole Li was watching their jokes, and those people in the Demon Dao must have also known that they were not good teachers, and if they couldn't save the situation in the back, things would not be good.
After thinking about it like this, Li Qingchen planned to personally test Zhang San's apprentice, it was naturally best to catch it, but if he couldn't catch it, it could only show that last night's defeat was not accidental, nor was his subordinates more wasteful, but that the other party was not simple.
......
That night, on the second night of Shangguan Yi's pit Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen came to the outside of Shangguan Yi's house, stopped there for a while, and then in the next second, the figure climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, avoiding various traps at a very fast speed, and walked openly on the road from the main entrance to the main hall, until his body pulled back violently when he pushed open the door of the main hall, which was able to avoid Shangguan Yi's punch.
"Hehe, it seems that he really underestimated you? You're not his junior, right?" Li Qingchen smiled naturally, and didn't seem to lose his mind because of the day's events. With such a keen perception and the power of that punch, hehe, this person is also a dark horse.
"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that what is the reason why you have repeatedly embarrassed me? I don't seem to have offended you in any way. Shangguan Yi didn't answer his question and pretended to be stupid, he didn't want to expose his vest to Li Qingchen.
"This, it has nothing to do with you, but well, that incident during the day today was your ghost, right?" Li Qingchen is not stupid, although his subordinates are not competent, but they will not be the kind of wine bags and rice bags that do irrelevant things when they go out on a mission, since they have failed, then the problem must be here in Shangguan Yi's courtyard. There is no interest on the government side and it will not do superfluous things, since it has been done, then someone else must be involved, so if you look at these two things in series, it is easy to deduce that Shangguan Yi is doing ghosts.
"If you only disturb my sleep, don't you allow me to fight back?" Shangguan Yi said lightly about his motives, describing himself as an image of retribution.
"Of course you allow it, but are you ready for the price of counterattack?" Li Qingchen smiled slightly, and pulled out his sword to attack Shangguan Yi. If he can win Shangguan Yi today, he will naturally take it, and if he can't take it, he will have to force out some of this person's strength, and he always feels that he is hiding too deeply.
"Hehe, don't you think you're talking big?" Shangguan Yi naturally didn't show weakness, and met him with a punch and smashed it on Li Qingchen's sword, sparks flying.
In the space between their words, Shangguan Yi had already put on the Finger Tiger, which was the one Mo Qianliu gave him before, the material was quite good, and it was more than enough to fight with Li Qingchen's sword, if Shangguan Yi could use this Finger Tiger to fight prestige, maybe there would be a place for it on the list of divine weapons in the future.
Li Qingchen's swordsmanship, Shangguan Yi has already experienced it, and even his combat style is very familiar, even if Li Qingchen breaks through the realm and enters the realm of the Three Heavens, the change is still not very big. And seeing that his breath is vain, Shangguan Yi can surmise that this person has actually only broken through for a short time, and the increase in combat power is still limited, if he doesn't explode the vest, it is not easy to win, but it is not difficult to draw.
However, although Shangguan Yi deliberately restrained some of his predictions about Li Qingchen, but in Li Qingchen's opinion, this opponent is still a little more terrifying, and his combat intuition is so sharp that it is terrifying, although he has not shown any real skills, but he still has the strength to fight back and seize the initiative after such a watertight defense, with this person's superficial cultivation, it is really incredible, it is even more terrifying than Qian Taiduo, who fought in the Great Guangming Temple and lost it, but this person is older, and he can accept it.
The two of them became more and more devoted, from the simple warm-up at the beginning, to the later basically used seventy percent of the kung fu to fight, not only limited to internal strength and swordsmanship, but also light skills, the battlefield also left Shangguan Yi's house, came to the roof, and even limited to the roof of Shangguan Yi's house, all the way to fight all the way to change the direction, or fight or touch to separate, the alternation of offense and defense is also very fast and natural.
"Knock~"
Shangguan Yi fought with Li Qingchen again, and after a blow, the relay bomb flew up, unloaded the anti-shock force in the air, and gently landed on the side of the roof ridge, gasping slightly, ready to go.
Li Qingchen jumped up lightly and landed on the other side of the main ridge of the roof, confronting Shangguan Yi with his sword, as if he was preparing for the next sword.
Both of them are not moving but they are preparing to move, that is, if they do not move, they will be as fierce as thunder.
The wind blew slightly, and the two were still unmoved, staring closely at each other's eyes, arms and lower plates, speculating on each other's moves and the power of their moves from the charging posture, so as to adjust their own moves......
"Hey, you two ......" a frightened voice sounded from afar, and it was this sentence that broke the deadlock of the confrontation.
"Break the army!" With a fierce kick, Shangguan Yi exerted nine points of strength plus the internal force cultivation of the late stage of the Second Heaven, and hit Li Qingchen straight with his right fist, and his body also rushed towards Li Qingchen, with an unstoppable domineering attitude, wanting to break through all obstacles in front of him.
"Qingjue!" Li Qingchen held the sword in both hands, raised it high and then slashed it down, accurately smashing it on the finger tiger on Shangguan Yi's right fist, blocking this domineering punch.
A huge and crisp collision sound sounded at this moment, Shangguan Yi took three steps back, and stepped on three small dents on the ridge of the roof in a row, and even the surrounding area was shattered, as long as it was ravaged again, this room would not be able to sleep. Li Qingchen flew directly down the eaves, and a harrier turned over in the air and successfully unloaded, landed steadily on the ground, and returned to the position just now the next moment.
"I said, don't fight!" Wan Qingliu yelled angrily, just now he shouted, but these two not only ignored it, but even beat it harder, really didn't give him any face.
This time, the two still didn't pay attention to him, because there are things that you can't stop if you want to, both of them have locked each other as targets, and whoever speaks to Wan Qingliu first will be the first to show flaws, unless the other person also agrees to stop, otherwise they may be killed. These two must not trust each other, so they can only continue to fight.
Shangguan Yi gently kicked to Li Qingchen's side, continued to attack, continuous offensive unfolding, every punch is the boxing method in "Iron Blood Danqing", with strong offensive ability and sharp characteristics, this is a strong aggressive attack for the opponent, when guarding against surface attacks, we must also beware of internal force invasion, if you are not careful, you will suffer internal injuries, and then the combat effectiveness will be reduced and you will not be able to resist Shangguan Yi's attack, and you will be defeated over time.
However, Li Qingchen was perfectly defended, not leaking, and even occasionally able to seize the loopholes of Shangguan Yi's attack to counterattack and seize the initiative.
The two of them fought fiercely, and the tricks and tricks were all tricks, the key was that the offense was like a storm, and the defense was not moving, and the slightest mistake would immediately retreat to other roofs to adjust or turn to the defensive, and after playing for a long time, in addition to the intense consumption, there was no injury.
Wan Qingliu followed all the way beside him, trying to stop it, but he became an audience, or a seat in the audience.
What's more, the intelligence officers of all families are working in shifts all day and night to monitor the big and small affairs in the capital, although they can't cover everything, but in this kind of situation, except that there is no sun, they are basically fighting openly in the capital, and naturally like a piece of honey, many people come to watch the battle, but they are just secretly observing and applauding.
Without him, these two people fought too excitingly, physical duel and psychological game, listening to six ways and seeing all directions, using everything they could use to gain an advantage, and it was the two dark horses at the event later, and they were also dark horses that they had never discovered.
"Ding"
Li Qingchen pressed the tip of his sword against Shangguan Yi's finger tiger, and then took a step back and came to the roof behind him, as if he had long eyes behind him.
"Don't fight?" Shangguan Yi gasped and moved his arms, this battle was really a bit hard, Li Qingchen was indeed a strong opponent.
"Of course you don't fight, do you two still have a royal law in your eyes? Is this where you fight? Look at ......" Wan Qingliu hurriedly reprimanded, wanting to prevent this battle from continuing, of course, mainly because he was afraid that Shangguan Yi would suffer a loss, and the gap in internal cultivation was too big.
"Under the night, above the roof, it is not your order. Li Qingchen said twelve words very facelessly, this is also one of the unspoken rules of leaving the capital, when the night comes, the crimes on the ground are under the control of the court, and the things above the roof are the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the court cannot interfere without hurting the common people or innocent people.
Although the battle between Shangguan Yi and the two was fierce, they actually still had some spare strength, so naturally they would not hurt others.
"Haha, I understand your kindness, this is my grudge with him, don't interfere, don't worry. Of course, Shangguan Yi knew that Wan Qingliu was worried about himself, after all, it seemed that he was out of breath, but Li Qingchen was calm, and it was clear who was superior and who was inferior.
"Oh, it turned out to be a raccoon dog. Li Qingchen's eyes were cold, and he finally understood who was planning everything during the day.
"I can't say that, he is to me as I am to you. Shangguan Yi shook his head and said that Wan Qingliu was just a tool man to me, as if I was a tool man to you. Of course, this is to protect Wan Qingliu, he is not Li Qingchen's opponent.
"It doesn't matter what, I'll ask for shame today. Li Qingchen withdrew his sword and seemed to be leaving.
"If you don't take revenge now, you still have to persuade yourself to take revenge, isn't it too late for ten years?" Shangguan Yi said with a smile, quite provocative.
"Hehe, if you continue to fight like this, even if you fight until dawn, there will be no result, you are hiding your strength, and you will naturally not lose. You and I will only know who will die if we fight to the death, but there is no need, and I don't want to use all the tricks in front of so many people. Li Qingchen's body paused slightly, and he was about to continue walking after saying this.
Shangguan Yi stopped him again: "Hey, you haven't paid yet." ”
"What money?" Li Qingchen frowned slightly, he had obviously paid three hundred taels of silver during the day, although it was not his own, but he was also very distressed, right?
"The cost of repairing these houses, and you have to clean up the aftermath after the fight, you have one hundred taels, and I have two hundred taels, how about it?" Shangguan Yi said cheekily and shamelessly.
In fact, those houses were basically damaged by Shangguan Yi, and Li Qingchen's unloading skills were very good, and he did not cause any damage.
"Reckless. After Li Qingchen left these two words and a silver ticket thrown at Shangguan Yi, he left without looking back, it seemed that he didn't want to be stopped again.
Shangguan Yi smiled, took it easily, and then took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Wan Qingliu, saying, "Pension, it's troublesome." Then he ran away, leaving Wan Qingliu with the aftermath of his hard work.
