Chapter 57: The Knife
"What's the matter?" said the young man inside the vermilion lacquer gate, looking at Wang Tongju indifferently.
"The murderer of the heart-digging murder has appeared. Not caring about the man's attitude, Wang Tongju said with some eagerness.
"Come in and talk. After hearing the news, the young man remained very calm, turned sideways and moved out of the way, and closed the heavy door after Wang Tong was sentenced to enter.
The house where several adults live is spacious enough, and the courtyard with three entrances and three exits is one of the best places in Qingchuan County.
The young man led the way in front of him, and Wang Tongju followed behind him, looking at the person in front of him walking without hurry, his expression looked a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
This is the second time he has seen this person in front of him, and the first time is when these people first came, he was standing next to the county magistrate.
These people from the capital have made their identities clear and said their purpose, but they didn't even let him know their names and surnames.
Walk through the verandah, cross the hanging flower door in the front yard, stop in the middle courtyard, there is a big gardenia tree in front of the right side of the courtyard, the flowers are white and fragrant, Wang Yajin has never liked the fragrance of gardenias, feel too strong and greasy, some pleasing taste.
There is a stone table under the tree, the two are sitting opposite each other and sipping tea, the one on the left is slender, his back is straight, he is dressed in black, and the man on the right is dressed in a short suit and has a medium stature.
A cyan snake was lying on the shoulder of the man in black, spitting out letters, and a pair of triangular eyes flashed coldly.
Coupled with the ordinary-looking young man standing in front of Wang Tongju, these three are the adults who came from Beijing and are ready to capture the remnants of the Seven Star Cave.
Of course, in order to catch the remnants of the Seven Star Cave, there were more than three people who came out of the capital, and there were also people who were ambushed in other places.
But Qingchuan County is the place where the remnants of the Seven Star Cave are most likely to appear, and the strength of these three people can be imagined. Therefore, Wang Tongju believes that as long as any of them make a move, the murderer will not be caught.
"My lord, ......," Wang Tong said with his head bowed and stepped forward.
But as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted, and he saw the man in black on the left raise a finger in front of his lips: "Shhh Then he picked up the small white porcelain teacup on the table, twisted it on the end of his nose, squinted his eyes slightly and took a sip before sighing: "In the end, the countryside is far worse than Beijing." ”
"Tea is good tea, but it's a pity ......," said the man on the right.
"It's a pity that the tea sets and water sources here are too ordinary. The man in black said and smiled again: "Tea is naturally good tea, this is the 'green tip' I brought from home, and the price is better than gold." It is not difficult to hear a bit of smugness in his words.
Wang Tongju stood aside, pretending to be a matter of human life in his heart, but listening to these two people saying innocuous things one by one, and drinking tea leisurely, he wanted to kick over the tea table.
If it weren't for the identity and ability of these people in front of him, Wang Yajin might have really done this.
"My lord!" Wang Tongju took a half step forward and saluted again, his voice raised.
Say. The man in black gently rested the teacup in his hand on the table, looked at the gardenia above his head and whispered.
"Recently, there was a murderer in Qingchuan County...... "Wang Tongju was afraid that the two adults in front of him who had lived in seclusion since they came, and they didn't know what was going on outside, so they briefly said the matter, "Now the murderer has appeared and fled to the southwest of Qingchuan County." ”
Wang Tongju really thinks right, these two people really don't know what happened in Qingchuan County recently, but does it matter if they know?
I only heard the man in black whisper: "Oh, then what?" The man in black turned his face and looked at Wang Yajin with flat eyes.
And then? These three words hit Wang Tongjuan hard in the chest like a heavy punch, his eyes were stunned, and a faint light flickered, and he said in an aggravated tone: "I implore you to help." "Finish the talk.
"Joke, what kind of identity do I have, I received the holy decree, and I came here in person to arrest the remnants of the Seven Star Cave, how can I take action easily because of this trivial matter in your county, and delay the major matter of arresting the remnants of the Seven Star Cave, can you afford it?" The man in black sneered and said loudly.
"My lord, that murderer is extremely cruel in martial arts, killing people and digging out his heart, he has already killed two people in a row, if he doesn't get rid of it, I am afraid that more people will die, such a human life, how is it a trivial matter!" Wang Tongju straightened up and couldn't help but say.
"That's also your own business in Qingchuan County. The man in black was unmoved.
"My lord!" Wang Tongju took another half step forward, which caused the cyan snake to turn his head leisurely and stare at Wang Tongju, wanting to choose someone to devour, which was discouraged.
"Okay, you have to say more here, otherwise Lord Ben will report to your county officials truthfully when he returns to Beijing, and his inability will cause a big disaster, and he will almost delay us in arresting the remnants of the Seven Star Cave and punish you. The man in black said with an angry face, stopped looking, flicked his sleeves and said, "Send the sentence back." ”
Hearing word by word, Wang Tongju's heart was cold, and he forgot how he got out of the courtyard, and when the vermilion door was closed, he still vaguely heard a few words of laughter behind him.
After Wang Tongju left, the courtyard returned to tranquility again.
Under the gardenia, the young man walked back after sending Wang Tongju to the gate, looked at the man in black and asked the doubts in his heart: "My lord, why don't we make a move, isn't the original intention of the establishment of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion to solve these things?"
"Yes and no. The words in the mouth of the man in black made the young man wonder again.
I only heard the man in black continue to ask: "What is our Yuan Imperial Pavilion to the saints? Some people say that they are minions, eagle dogs, I don't think it's accurate, we are knives." ”
"Knives?"
"The saint will not cut off his claws and teeth, the minions will always be needed, and when the eagle and the dog are not needed, they will also be kept as pets, and the life may be more comfortable. ”
"So Yuan Yuge is not a minions, nor an eagle dog, we are a knife, a knife that has been sheathed since the saint stepped on the horse. If these people do not jump out, and the world does not become chaotic, this knife will never come out of its sheath. ”
At this point, the young man understood.
"It's not enough, these are not enough for the Holy Lord to let us out of the sheath, and now the imperial court not only has our Yuan Imperial Pavilion, but also Ziwei Mountain and other forces that have returned to us, so not only can we not stop it, but also let it develop, so that the Yuan Imperial Pavilion will have the day when it will regain its glory." ”
At the end, there was a gleam in the eyes of the man in black.
The young man who originally thought that he had already understood, when he heard this, suddenly thought in his heart, since this is the case, the reason why the remnant of the Seven Star Cave was able to escape from the capital may be because of ...... The young man hurriedly stopped, not daring to think further.
