Chapter 269: Murder with a knife
There are no stars and moon tonight, and they naturally don't dare to light the lights, everyone relies on internal strength to distinguish the way, and their eyesight is not as good as half of the day. Quietly avoiding the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, he finally approached the Yunlan Bridge. Yunlan Bridge is the only way to return from the south of the city to the north of the city, and you can get home after crossing the bridge for about four miles, and everyone's heart is gradually relaxed.
"Huh...... There are no officers and soldiers guarding this bridge!" one of the disciples said with some surprise.
"Maybe it's too late, this sentry should be removed!" said another.
"It's a good idea, you don't have to try to lure them away like you did when you came!"
Walking to the bridge, Tao Chong, who was at the front, saw a pile of protruding things placed against the bridge railing, but he didn't care, and still led everyone to the bridge.
But Qin Feng in the back looked at it twice, and when he got up again, he found that he seemed to be stepping on some sticky liquid under his feet.
"That's not right!" Qin Feng's heart shook slightly, his nose sniffed hard, and he smelled a faint smell of blood.
"What's wrong, Qin Feng?" said Wang Duzhong.
"It seems to be human blood!" Qin Feng hurriedly walked to the pile of things by the bridge to check, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Who killed the officers and soldiers and put them here!"
It turned out that the pile of things was the corpses of two officers and soldiers who were being kneaded and squatted together, and the blood on their bodies was still flowing out, and it seemed that they had been killed not long ago.
"Let's go! Don't get caught in these muddy waters!" Wang Duzhong said busily.
Everyone hurried towards the other side of the bridge, but they were only halfway to the bridge when they suddenly saw several figures hurrying up the bridge and coming straight towards them. Wang Qianzhong and the others immediately shouted: "What person!" hurriedly drew their swords to defend themselves.
But when they approached them, they suddenly plunged under the railing, and carried the piers below and drove down the river from the inside.
Before they could figure out the situation, they heard the sound of people running on both sides of the river, and someone shouted: "They are over there!" and "Don't let these dog thieves escape!"
In an instant, dozens of torches came out of the streets, and someone shouted, "Hurry, hold on, don't let them escape!"
"Oh no, it's officers and soldiers!" Wang said urgently.
"Master, what should I do?" everyone panicked at the moment.
The officers and soldiers on both sides shouted: "Listen to the thief, immediately put down your weapons and squat on the ground and surrender, otherwise you will be killed!" At this moment, officers and soldiers on both sides of the bridge rushed over.
There are a lot of people coming, not to mention that you can't break through hard, but even if you do, you have committed a crime, and you will have endless troubles if you lose your legal identity in the future.
"You can't fight them, you can run down the river quickly!" Wang Duzhong said busily.
But all eleven of them stood still.
"Don't you all know how to water?" Wang was anxious. At that time, most people in the north were landlubbers, and those who had not been specially trained could not swim. What's more, the water of the Yunlan River is very deep, the undercurrent inside is turbulent, and it is still very cold at this time, and the water is not very good, so I dare not go down.
"Master, we haven't done anything else, it's a big deal to violate the curfew and go to prison for a few days, and we'll be released when we find out later. Liu Hao said helplessly.
Qin Feng hurriedly said: "This matter is by no means so simple, I'm afraid that we can't say it clearly at all! Those people just now deliberately framed us to bring in officers and soldiers!"
Wang Qianzhong hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Quickly cover your head and face with your clothes!"
Everyone hurriedly tore off their coats and wrapped their heads and faces in front of a masked towel, leaking only two eyes outside.
As he spoke, the officers and soldiers at both ends had already rushed closer. Several torches held aloft illuminated the people on the bridge and the babbling river beneath the bridge. One of the leaders shouted angrily: "Who are you? You dare to kill patrol officers and soldiers even if you violate the curfew!"
At this moment, another officer and soldier behind him said loudly: "Zhao Zhongtong, we have two brothers here who were also killed by them!"
Wang Duzhong knew that he had found the bodies of the two officers and soldiers just now. Now it's really unclear, and I finally know what kind of conspiracy Lan Xiangyun has set up, he wants to borrow a knife to kill people! If he doesn't force Qin Feng to poison, then it is still possible to break out alone, but now that the internal force is greatly consumed, the possibility of escaping is almost zero.
At this moment, Wang Quanzhong and all of them are desperate in their hearts, if they can't escape, not only will they die, but they will also affect their families......
Although he knew that most of it was useless, Wang Qianzhong still explained loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's incident is completely a conspiracy, we just went out to do some personal business, at most we violated the curfew, but we absolutely did not kill the officers and soldiers! This is someone else deliberately framing us!"
That Zhao Zhongtong's eyes were round, and he pointed his knife at him and said, "Don't give me nonsense! Are you still unwilling to disarm and surrender!"
"Lord Zhao, what I said is true, just now five or six masked people rushed to the bridge, but they have already jumped into the river!" Wang Duzhong said.
"Fucking thief, don't talk in front of me!Brothers, give it to me!" Zhao Zhongtong shouted, and he took the lead and rushed towards Wang Quanzhong and them.
Wang Duzhong was anxious, if he did it, he would definitely kill the officers and soldiers, and his crime would be established. But if you don't let them arrest them, it is basically impossible to prove their innocence. I couldn't help but cry out in my heart, "It's so wronged!"
At the moment when the two were about to meet each other, a voice suddenly heard a cold shout: "Don't move rashly!", the voice was not loud but it was close to the ear, and at the same time, the weapons in the hands of Zhao Zhongtong and several officers and soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground with a "bell", and it turned out that their wrists were all hit by flying stones.
"Who is it!" everyone was shocked, and they all looked around in surprise to see who was talking to them, but they didn't find anything at a glance.
"Lord Zhao, what they said is indeed the truth, you don't want to be confused and become the knife that someone else borrowed to kill people!"
This time, the voice sounded again, but it suddenly had a definite direction, and everyone was busy looking for sounds.
I saw a tall man with a man in black in both hands and a man in black appearing not far from Nanqiaotou. The man walked over unhurriedly and slowly, completely ignoring the officers and soldiers who surrounded him with trembling, and walked directly to the bridgehead and threw the two black-clothed men who were drenched all over his body beside him.
Under the light of the torch, everyone saw his face clearly, although all the men present, but they had to secretly say in their hearts, "He looks so heroic!"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up at this moment, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and whispered to Wang Qian Zhong beside him: "It's Peng Erxia Yin Tiancheng who is here!"
"Who are you? We are arresting criminals, how can you interfere arbitrarily!" Zhao Zhongtong looked at Yin Tiancheng and asked loudly.
Yin Tiancheng smiled: "Yin Tiancheng, I know that you are enforcing the law, I just want to do you a favor!"
As soon as the three words "Yin Tiancheng" were spoken, someone in the crowd was already surprised.
"It turned out to be Peng Erxia!Long Yang!" Zhao Zhongtong frowned, he knew that this was the person with the highest martial arts in the rivers and lakes now, I don't know what he wanted to do, if he really wanted to go against him, it would be really troublesome. But with so many brothers under him, he can't show too much weakness.
"Lord Zhao is so good!" Yin Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Peng Erxia, do you know that the full name is martial law now, and you are not allowed to go out casually at night, but Your Excellency is here now, is it deliberately embarrassing with us errands, or does you really regard the national law as nothing?" Zhao Zhongtong was a little empty in his heart, but he still had to hold on to his face.
Yin Tianchengyun smiled lightly: "Lord Zhao really misunderstood! Yin just said that I came to share the worries and relieve the labor of Lord Zhao! Isn't there a reward order issued by the government now? He said that if anyone reports or captures a person who rebellious the party, the government will have a heavy reward! This heavy reward Yin will not mention, but does Lord Zhao have to hold me, the person who is the official government to capture the rebellious party?"
Zhao Zhongtong immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and secretly thought that fortunately, this Peng Erxia spoke to save his face, and he was not the kind of person who didn't give face at all because of his high martial arts. At this moment, he was also busy laughing and said: "So that's the case! Then it's easy to say! It's just that we are about to arrest these villains who killed officers and soldiers, and Peng Erxia didn't know why he wanted to stop us just now?"
"Lord Zhao! They are indeed wronged, I will catch two of the real murderers for you, Lord Zhao can interrogate them himself if he doesn't believe it!" Yin Tiancheng pointed to the two men who were kneeling next to him.
Wang Qianzhong and the others were overjoyed at the moment, knowing that these two should be two of the people who slipped down the river just now. It's just strange that they are clearly in the water, how did this Peng Erxia catch them? Wang Qianzhong looked at Yin Tiancheng carefully, and the clothes on his body were clearly dry.
Zhao Zhongtong approached the bridge and looked at the two of them suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Is that them?"
Yin Tiancheng nodded, and took out his hand to unlock the acupoint for one person, but pointed the other person to the sleeping acupoint.
"Lord Zhao, you can interrogate the two of them separately and see what good things they have done tonight!"
Zhao Zhongtong ripped off the black scarf on the man's face and asked:
"Who are you, and how did you get caught here?"
Yin Tiancheng said beside him: "It's best to tell the truth, otherwise if your other companion waits for a different kind of return from you, I will have a lot of hardships for you!"
The man looked at Zhao Zhongtong at this moment, and then at Yin Tiancheng, with a look of hesitation and fear on his face.
"Don't say it yet!" Zhao Zhongtong shouted.
"I ...... I said, "We are just following orders, and we are forced to be helpless!" I also ask the Lord and Peng Erxia to be gracious and spare me from dying!"
"Tell your mother quickly! You haven't said anything yet, what kind of ball is it?" Zhao Zhongtong said impatiently.
"We are on the orders of Master Lan Xiangyun, hiding near the Yunlan Bridge at night, and when we see Wang Quanzhong and them are about to arrive, we will kill a few patrol officers and soldiers to lead you to the bridgehead to arrest them!"
"Lan Xiangyun and Wang Duzhong, aren't they from the lightning gate?" Zhao Zhongtong was surprised.
The Lightning Gate is very famous in Yanzhou, and this Zhao Zhongtong also knows that his disciples are almost all over the three northern continents, with a total of hundreds of people, and there are many martial arts masters among them. And in the past, the head Jiang Yi also had a relationship in the Baidao Mansion, but not long ago, the lightning gate had a series of accidents, not only did the two heads of the door die in a row, but later the people of the gate were divided into two factions and fought several times, and now the prestige has been greatly reduced.
The man replied, "Exactly! We drew you to the bridge and slipped down the river from the pier while it was dark, not wanting to ...... I didn't want to, but I was caught by Peng'erxia. ”
