Chapter 16: The Broken House

Cheng Ji went out of the Salt Imperial History Mansion, and walked through a few streets before finding a hidden place, taking off a night suit, and hiding it before walking to the alley home.

Along the way, he thought about his next step. Although Qing Geng and Zhan Feiyu did not explicitly agree to cooperate, they were each burdened with a sea of blood feuds, as long as he took the initiative to send the opportunity, they must take advantage of the situation, so that he could also avenge the long-term humiliation of Pang Dui.

"The documents of the imperial court urging salt and iron have come down, and it will be delivered in three days, so it is better to rob it with the heroes of the green forest, and then put it in the household and blame it to Luosang, so that not only Pingcuo Dunzhu can not tolerate him, Qinggeng, Qiao Zhengchu, and Jiang Yushi will also find trouble for him, and then he will be betrayed and left. Cheng Ji thought so, and unconsciously came to the alley.

Looking around, the two or three lights in the alley are gone, it is pitch black, except for the faint wind, only his own footsteps can be heard, there is no noise of a star and a half, the silence is terrible, Cheng Ji can't help but muttered in his heart, although it has passed the time at this time, almost everyone has rested, but in the past, when he came back late, some family dogs would bark, and it would not be as quiet as tonight. After taking two steps further, he suddenly felt that he had stepped on something, and then he slipped under his feet, and at the same time he swayed and fell backwards, the thing under his feet rolled forward with a "clatter", and he quickly "turned over" before he regained his footing. The rolling thing on the ground had stopped, and he took two steps forward, crouched down to take a closer look, only to find that it was a log, which looked like a table leg.

"How can there be broken table legs on the road?" Cheng Ji pondered and meditated, "Could it be that something is wrong, Xiao Min......" Thinking of this, Cheng Ji quickly got up and strode in the direction of his house, and saw some broken tables and chairs along the way, and unconsciously sped up his pace.

After a while, Cheng Ji came to the outside of his house, but the door was wide open, and the door panel was laid on the ground...... Xiao Min ......"

The inside of the house is even more messy than the outside, there are broken tables, chairs, basins and bowls everywhere, large or small lying on the low stool and high wall, lazy and difficult to stand on their own, the scene in front of him makes Cheng Ji's heart like a mirror, "There was a fierce fight here!" Cheng Ji was thinking about Cheng Min, although he also knew that Cheng Min was no longer here, but he still held that glimmer of hope. Small pieces were almost all over the ground, and there was no way to hide a person in the space underneath, and he didn't plan to clean up, but was just going to look for large wooden planks and things.

Not far away, the round table without legs couldn't stand, lying on an object, the broken leg from the root of the thigh towards Cheng Ji, as if to say, "I fought hard to save your sister's life, why don't you come and take a look?" Cheng Ji just raised his feet and walked a few steps, the round table seemed to be fickle because of a broken leg, and suddenly changed from quiet to impulsive and irritable, and flew over with a hideous face.

The round table was fierce, and Cheng Ji had to take two steps back and slap it out again. The "bang" round table was shattered by the force of the palm, revealing a leap behind it and a slap of the palm. The figure hid behind the round table and followed the attack, Cheng Ji smashed the round table and didn't have time to see who the person was, but quickly turned to the side, dodged this palm and asked, "Who are you, where is my sister?"

The figure didn't pay attention to him, and before he could finish speaking, a palm came again, and the seamless attack forced Cheng Ji, who couldn't cope with it, to dodge again, and then kicked forward with his left foot. Luo Wu quickly moved his right leg back, and at the same time slapped it with one palm, Cheng Ji could no longer dodge, and met it with his right palm. With a "snap", the palms collided and then quickly separated, forcing the two to take a few steps back. The slight soreness and burning sensation from the palm of his hand made Cheng Ji, who was parked by the door, secretly think: "This person's palm power is amazing, if I hadn't used a little internal force, I would have to be injured at this time!" Looking at this person's figure again, thinking back to his moves, Cheng Ji felt very familiar, but before he had time to think about it, the figure swept his legs, and a few pieces of broken wood had already flown into the air, and then the figure's palm turned over and pushed slightly, and the broken wood shot towards Cheng Ji like a storm. Cheng Ji's left arm was raised, and with a twist, the big knife in his hand quickly turned several times like a windmill, scattering all the broken wood to the ground. The figure hit with a palm again, and Cheng Ji recognized that it was a move to "throw stones and ask for directions".

"This palm...... It's so familiar......" Cheng Ji thought in his heart, and his figure hit another move "Qiaozi Zhiqin", and he made five or six moves in a row, although he was menacing, but he didn't use weapons, and he didn't use ruthless hands, and Cheng Ji didn't use a big knife, but just fought with his fists and feet. In the next move, the figure slammed a palm on the door frame, knocking out half of the door frame embedded in the wall, so that the figure and Cheng Ji pulled away again, and the positions were also reversed, Cheng Ji went inside, and the figure came to the door.

At this time, Cheng Ji looked at the familiar appearance of the figure, thinking about the familiar moves, a figure appeared in his mind, and made him blurt out, "Luo Wu, is it you?"

Luo Wu, this person who is familiar with Cheng Ji can no longer be familiar, is the head of the household, in charge of the fast shift of the household, and is also a doorman raised by Lausanne, who urinates and Cheng Ji is trained in one place, and has a good relationship with Cheng Ji, once Cheng Ji also wanted to marry his sister to him, but later Jiang Junyuan took a fancy to him, and Cheng Ji also hoped that Cheng Min would have a better home and provide assistance to his career, so the matter of Xu Ji was stopped, and it was precisely because of this that Luo Wu said that Cheng Ji was too powerful, and there was no integrity at all, and Cheng Ji gradually became estranged.

Luo Wu replied: "It's Luo!" Then he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't Brother Cheng leave the household after talking to Lord Qianhu earlier, why did he return at this time?"

Cheng Ji originally wanted to talk to Luo Wu and eliminate the estrangement, but when he thought that Cheng Min was taken away by him, he was angry. "You said you had a grudge against me, why did you kidnap my sister? Cheng Ji thought so, glanced at Luo Wu impatiently, and said: "It's not Cheng on duty today, where Cheng is going and when he will return, it has nothing to do with Brother Luo!"

Luo Wu clenched his fists and smiled: "In this case, then Luo will not bother and say goodbye!" As he spoke, he had already swept the machine and walked outside the house.

Cheng Ji hurriedly stopped him, "Wait!"

Luo Wu stopped and turned around and said, "Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"

Now that Cheng Min is in his hands, Cheng Ji has to suppress the resentment in his heart, his tone is no longer arrogant, and he asked in a low voice: "Brother Luo, one daughter does not marry two husbands, the younger brother knows the truth in this, it is not that the younger brother is unwilling to marry Xiao Min to you, but that Jiang Junyuan insists on marrying Xiao Min, the little brother's official position is low, how dare he go against his will, he has no choice but to break his promise, and he is ashamed of Brother Luo." Brother Luo has complaints, which is also reasonable, and the younger brother does not dare to blame, but Brother Luo has a lot of hatred and resentment, and it is enough to blame the younger brother, everything is the decision of the younger brother, and Xiao Min only knew about it afterwards, and she was also unwilling. I hope that Brother Luo will look at the little affection in the past, let Xiaomin return, and the younger brother is willing to deal with Brother Luo. ”

Cheng Ji was only able to speak disrespectfully, Luo Wu originally wanted to ridicule him, but when he heard Cheng Ji's words, he thought of Cheng Min's tenderness and beauty, and he couldn't put his mind to it, so he just took two more steps, reached the door, leaned against the wall, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'm afraid it's too late to love her, how dare I hurt her half a point, I've already sent her to a complete place, and it'll be fine!"

Seeing Luo Wu like this, Cheng Ji was also a little relieved, and continued to ask: "Was it instructed by Luosang?"

Luo Wu sighed lightly and nodded: "He is a thousand households, I am just a fast head, the official is soft-spoken, although he is unwilling, he has to act according to orders!"

Cheng Ji slowly walked to Luo Wu's side and persuaded peacefully: "Brother Luo, don't follow him, let Xiao Min go, let's find another way out!

Luo Wu stood up straight, stepped out of the house, and didn't look back, just said: "You can, but I can't, I owe him...... It's fate!"

Cheng Ji saw that Luo Wu was leaving, and was just about to ask Cheng Min about it again, Luo Wu said again: "Three days after he asked you to rob, he will be jointly escorted by Qing Geng, Qiao Zhengchu, and Changfeng Dart Bureau, and transported to the salt and weapons of the Sichuan Political Division, and then secretly sent to the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion, planted to Qing Geng, and accused him of guarding and stealing, and then Xiao Min will be returned." You can rest assured, no matter whether it works out or not, I won't let him hurt Xiao Min in the slightest!"

Seeing Luo Wu's figure disappear into the night, Cheng Ji just said, "Then Xiao Min will temporarily ask Brother Luo to take care of it!" but did not chase after him, but thoughtfully. It's not that he's worried about Cheng Min, Luo Wu has always loved Cheng Min, and then looking at his attitude just now, Cheng Ji understands that Cheng Min is very safe in Luo Wu's hands, but he is not completely worried about Cheng Min, after all, Cheng Min was kidnapped, but at the moment he is not thinking about it, but about robbing salt and weapons. The first half of this happened exactly what he thought, which made him happy, but the second half of the false accusations made him sad again, which can be described as a mixed blessing. Luo Wu was ordered by Lausanne to kidnap Cheng Min, and he already had an important bargaining chip to coerce Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji did not dare to disobey, and it had become inevitable to plant the blame to Qinggeng, but he did not want to miss a good opportunity to deal with Lausanne like this.

While thinking about it, a few neighbors who had been frightened and threatened before opened the door of the house in fear, and after confirming that the group of fierce and vicious people had indeed left, they came to inquire and comfort Cheng Ji. After sending off a few neighbors, Cheng Ji came to the bed that had collapsed, picked up the cotton bedding, shook off the dust, and laid it again, and lay down on it, as for tidying up the house, it was tomorrow.

Cheng Ji spent the night half-asleep, and began to clean up the house and repair the tables and cabinets early the next morning. Zhan Feiyu also said goodbye to Qinggeng and Gao Chang, rushed back to the Chuli Dam, and then slowly planned revenge.
