Chapter 346: Lord Lei
'Ga~~~Lala~~~~' In a burst of door shaft sound, the door opened, and a faint smell of blood suddenly spread in the air, although it has faded a lot after two or three days, it is still difficult to get rid of, the neighbor in a broken yard on the opposite side probably heard the sound and poked out half of his head through the wall to look at it and retracted, Shao Mingqian noticed it but ignored it.
Liang Xie looked around, only to see the broken windows, doors, tables, weapon shelves and other things in the yard thrown everywhere, the ground on the east and west of the ground is full of dark black earth and masonry, and in some places there is more dark red ice, obviously, these are all blood seeping into it to form, the ice is also the ice made of blood, there are countless messy footprints and horseshoe prints on the land without masonry in the yard, if it is not for the person who did it, it must be the person of the 'deer king' to search it.
Shao Mingqian's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and Liang Xie could almost hear the uncontrollable heartbeat of his senior brother.
Shao Mingqian pushed open the broken hall door and walked in, the light in the hall was darker, Shao Mingqian lit the candle he carried with him, the hall suddenly became much brighter, everything was in full view, most of the furnishings in the hall have been destroyed, on the table, there are a lot of traces of swords on the wall, Shao Mingqian looked quietly inch by inch, his fingers touched the knife marks on the table and the wall from time to time, and when he saw a hole in the wall, his steps suddenly stopped, he stretched out his index finger and compared it at the mouth of the hole, the thickness was nine points consistent, the hole in the wall was actually very similar to a finger hole, the hole pierced the finger hole on the wall, and the thickness of the wall was much longer than a human finger, then if it weren't for the hole pierced by the iron bar, it would be done by the finger wind, and it would be enough to look at the rivers and lakes to this point with the finger wind to become a first-class character, and unlike the so-called first-class Lu Guhong and Liang Xie before, this will be a real first-class person, and any force will rush to get the character.
Shao Mingqian secretly thought to himself, "There are not a few such fingerings in the rivers and lakes, Buddhism's 'one-finger Zen', Taoism's 'golden finger', and Confucianism's 'wind control finger' can all achieve such an effect, in addition, the evil sect' ghost devouring 'and 'demon robbery' are also more famous, and there are no less than 20 kinds of this kind of fingering under the careful counting, although there are many kung fu, there are not many people who refine fingering, but despite this, ten people can still be counted, plus some hidden dark masters who are not very famous, it is not easy to know exactly who did it. β
Shao Mingqian made up several names in his heart, and then turned to look down, only to see a few glances at a knife mark on the wall and attracted him again, this is a very shallow sword mark, but it is very clean, there is no trace of peeling wall skin around the sword mark, at least the opponent's sword blade touches the wall and is free to retract and release and the sword move is accurate, and it can only be done without the slightest drag, and what can be done in the fight is enough to prove that the other party and the people of the 'Yang Sword Alliance' branch are not struggling when they move.
"This sword mark looks a bit like the technique in the 'Innocent Sword Sect', the 'Innocent Sword Sect' now has a total of three 'Pure Character' level masters, one of these three masters died in the hands of Gai Motian a few years ago, and the other two are serving under Lu Zhengrong, and it is the personal guard of the 'Double-faced Fox', and the other person is the guard of the 'Tuo Da Heavenly King'. β
Shao Mingqian secretly calculated in his heart, and continued to read, there are many traces of swords in the hall, and most of the traces are cut by the brothers in the branch of the 'Yang Sword Alliance', at present, the number of enemies is not much, there are about less than ten people, but all of them are masters, and the most powerful is a swordsman and the person who pierces through the wall with the wind hole.
Shao Mingqian glanced around the hall and then retreated after finding nothing, and Liang Xie followed his senior brother without asking a word, and there was no need to ask more. Shao Mingqian walked out of the hall door and walked straight to the warehouse, and Liang Xie also followed, the closer the two got to the warehouse, the heavier the smell of blood in the air.
Liang Xie had already guessed what would be in the warehouse, and of course Shao Mingqian had guessed it, but he didn't stop, but walked over directly. The door of the warehouse is hidden, and there is a half-broken lock hanging on it, the person who locks it will naturally not be a dead person, nor a thief, it is likely to be a fast catcher in the city, and the person who broke the lock is very likely to be a person from the 'Deer King', Shao Mingqian glanced at it and stretched out his hand to push the door, as soon as the warehouse door opened, the smell suddenly became a little heavier.
Shao Mingqian didn't stop at all, and walked directly into the warehouse, the warehouse is very large, and it can store a lot of grain, at this moment, the place where the grain should be put is not food, but corpses, dozens of corpses are lying down and piled together. Shao Mingqian quickly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of a corpse, tore open the clothes on his body to check, the corpse was all intact, except for a bowl-sized blood hole in the chest, there was no scar on the upper and lower parts of the body, Shao Mingqian broke the flesh and blood on his chest and carefully examined it, only to see that the wound was as round as the bowl, and the mouth was extremely neat, and there was no drag and tearing place, but it was actually a flesh and bones that were ripped out of his heart.
Liang Xie felt a burst of hair in his heart, although such a sharp sword is rare, this kind of swordsmanship that cuts the heart of a living person with a sword is even more excellent, you must know that the bones in the human heart are extremely hard, no worse than masonry, and there will never be many people who can do this with wrist strength.
Shao Mingqian put down the corpse and went to check on another corpse, the situation was almost the same, it was still a sword heart, but this corpse was stabbed in the neck, and the heart was taken after death. Shao Mingqian put down the second corpse and checked the third, fourth, and fifth...... The corpses, all the corpses were basically the same, these people died one by one with the middle finger, or by the sword, or by having their hearts stripped alive, without exception, dozens of corpses, all of whom had their hearts ripped away. In the dim light of the warehouse, Shao Mingqian's face became more and more ugly, Liang Xie could almost feel that his senior brother's hands were shaking, and his senior brother's heart was dripping blood.
"Let's go!" After a long time, Shao Mingqian stood up and said, he only said two words, but these two words seemed to use the strength of his whole body, and after saying these two words, his breath suddenly weakened a lot, and his body seemed to be a lot stiffer. Blowing out the candles, the two of them retreated from the warehouse, the sky was already dark at this time, and the skills of both of them were excellent, as long as there was a little light, they did not dare to say that the night was like day.
"Senior brother, where are we going next?" Standing in the courtyard, Shao Mingqian seemed to have suddenly lost his memory and stood still, and Liang Xie couldn't help but ask.
Shao Mingqian shook his head and said: "No, Yang Geng, the head catcher of 'Bairui City', has some skills, he was the first to come in after the accident, and he will definitely be able to see some clues but he doesn't dare to say it, it is said that he is related to Lord Lei, he has been living in the backyard of the Yamen since Lord Lei took office, and it is convenient to find it, so let's visit him later." β
"Well, what about now?"
"Eat well, drink plenty of water, and wait. Shao Mingqian said.
'Bairui City' is almost no longer a restaurant inn, anyway, no one comes when it opens, no one gives money when it comes, and if it is given, it will be robbed, simply, more than eighty percent of the people who do business have left. The two sat on the side of the platform in front of the hall door, washed their hands with their own water, and then began to eat their own dry food and drink their own water.
Night, three watches.
Shao Mingqian and Liang Xie walked out of the branch hall one after the other and headed towards the yamen.
It is said that half a year ago, the newly appointed prefect Lei was a good official, and when the world was in a catastrophe, the court resolutely came to take office, although he did not dare to say that he was as clear as water and as a mirror, but he was also a bold and responsible scholar, which was extremely difficult in today's situation, and was much better than those who took the opportunity to make money in the court.
It's just that this person has a good character but no great talent, and the court can't send silver to the yamen, the yamen can't afford to catch the fast silver, in this world disasters occur frequently, robbery is a trend, catch fast self-protection is still not enough to take the thief, the poverty of the people has reached the four walls of the family, the four walls are dilapidated, dilapidated, and it is impossible to cheat the silver, so there are only three or five people left in the dignified city to barely survive, and there are old catchers Yang Geng among the three or five catches.
'Yang Dao League' in the 'Bairui City' of this branch and Yamen is only separated by a street, but one in the south of the city and one in the north city, the distance is not close, Shao Mingqian came to the 'Bairui City' more than once, for the road is quite familiar, find a yamen is not a problem, at the moment and Liang Xie and the two of them started a light gallop away, along the road, lying on the side of the street, in the corner, inside and outside the store, in the front and back of the door There are countless homeless people, the two have no time to pay attention to the direction of the yamen, and in an instant, they are five or six miles away.
Walk another hundred or ten steps and turn across the street Yamen in sight, in the middle of the night, the yamen that should have turned off the lights and blind fire should have been lit up at this time, and there were bursts of noisy sounds inside, the two of them invariably listened carefully, but they could hear the sound of shouting five and six and one while drinking and punching like a wine shop in the market, this surprise was not trivial, the yamen was no longer like to talk and did not dare to be so presumptuous in the lobby, there must be chaos here. The two walked a few steps quickly, and then looked at the door of the yamen, only to see that the two stone lions at the door had fallen to the ground, and one of them had half of his head knocked off.
The door of the yamen was open, and there were four men in military uniforms dozing off the edge of the door frame, and they were in the dark, but they could not find the two without deliberate observation.
Shao Mingqian glanced at Liang Xie, Liang Xie nodded knowingly, the two stopped talking, went around to the side wall of the yamen, turned over and jumped on the roof, and uncovered the tiles to take a look.
There was a mess in the hall of the yamen, the plaque was trampled off and thrown into the ground, most of the back wall was destroyed, the prefect's table was also taken to the center of the lobby, a group of twenty or thirty people were drinking and punching around a few patchwork tables, a few people were drinking and staggering unconscious, four or five men were tied up in the northwest corner of the lobby, a man in his thirties was still sitting upright although he had been tied, a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair on his face and frost, two of them had their heads down, and their shabby clothes were almost stained with blood, and it seemed that they were unable to live, and one fell to the ground, motionless and deadγ
Among the few people who were tied, Shao Mingqian recognized the gray-haired middle-aged man, that person was the old catcher Yang Geng, speaking of which his age was not too old, about fifty years old, but he had gray hair and an old face as if he was seventy years old.
"Hey, I said that the surname is Lei, the wine was sent by Lao Tzu himself, and the meat was made by Lao Tzu himself, so you don't have any stock in this broken yamen?"
The man in his thirties who was tied up sneered: "Five people and one dog, there are only a few dukes in the yamen, you have already eaten the dog, if it is not enough, do you think I can be worth a few catties?" It turned out that this man was Lord Lei.
The man in the lead smiled: "Use a dog as an errand, you really have it." β
Lei Da said: "Do you have the ability to take care of the family and the hospital, and show the danger to the police? Do you have the courage to sacrifice your life to protect the lord and not be afraid of knives and guns? The key dog is easy to feed, a pot of thin chaff, two bubbles of feces and urine is a meal, can you do it? Even you are a human-oriented official, how can you not use a dog as an errand to save expenses for the imperial court? Rape and plunder, murder and arson, you are also worthy of ...... like this."
'Bang!', there was a loud bang, sawdust flew, and the man in the lead stood up, pointed at Lord Lei and scolded angrily: "The surname is Lei, you can't eat the ancients, what kind of court is the court, don't you think it's ridiculous that you still hold that set of loyal and patriotic bullshit?"
Lord Lei was not frightened at all, but said with a smile: "Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, if the officials in the world must know how to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, if General Zuo does not accept bribes from you, if General Lu does not raise the enemy and fatten himself, last year's 'Tangzhou' war, your group of people have already died, which round will get you to hurt my people today and damage my society?"
The leader said: "Which of the past dynasties and dynasties did not rebel and establish a country? You don't know how to conform to the general trend and deserve to be there today." β
Master Lei laughed and said: "If you die, you will die! The descendants of this official will be proud of their own officials, and today you are waiting for the deeds of burning restaurants in the city, robbing the people, raping and killing fifteen young girls, and slaughtering the old and weak, even if you call the king the emperor, I don't know if your descendants will dare to recognize you as an ancestor after your death?"
The leader said: "Since ancient times, history has been written by the victors, if I am the king, a hundred years later, history will only record that the righteous army broke through the yamen that aided the abuse, and overthrew the corrupt and incompetent court, who will remember these little things?"
Lord Lei laughed wildly and looked at him with an idiot-like look and said: "King, victor, you are also a victor, and you also want to be king, then where do you put your 'Shunyi Marquis'? Where do you put your 'Deer King'? Where do you put Yang Yiyou, the world's number one anti-king?"
The man knew that he was speechless, waved his hand and threw the wine jar to Lord Lei, and scolded angrily: "The surname is Lei, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to do anything to you, it's just human flesh, it's not that I haven't eaten it, and I forced Lao Tzu to cook you anyway." β
Lord Lei did not dodge or dodge, he was hit in the head by the wine jar, and suddenly the blood flowed for a long time, the blood on the top of his head and the corner of his forehead flowed on his face, which was even more strange in his crazy smile, and Lord Lei did not wipe off the blood on his head, grinning and smiling: "It's okay, I can avenge myself before I die, and the death of this official is worth it." β
The man said, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Lord Lei smiled at him, and then turned to the other twenty or thirty people who were drinking, and said: "Everyone, this general said that after he became king, he would erase all the bad things he had done, and you have all heard this, as for how to erase it, whether it is to kill people or other ways, you can think for yourself, oh, by the way, remind me, if he rebels and betrays your 'Shunyi Hou' and 'Deer King', you don't know if the 'Deer King' will be implicated......
Lord Lei's words were extremely ruthless, the man heard him say 'It's not interesting', just about to wait for the following, I didn't expect him to suddenly come to such a hand, and when he found out that Lord Lei's words might be unfavorable to him, Lord Lei had already said half of his words, if he interrupted, he would be even more weak-hearted, and after a moment of hesitation, Lord Lei aggravated the provocation. At this moment, the leading man didn't dare to let him go on, and rushed over with an arrow step, according to Lord Lei's mouth, Yang Geng hurriedly jumped and hit Lord Lei with his shoulder, and the crisp sound of this slap was pumping on Yang Geng's face.
Master Lei was knocked crookedly, and he still didn't forget to tease the man in the lead: "General, do you guess if your subordinates will go to the informant if you say this, if you do, do you guess whether the 'Shunyi Hou' and the 'Deer King' will attack you, if so, do you guess when and under what circumstances will they attack you?"
Lord Lei finished his words at a very fast speed in one breath, and the leading man had already gotten rid of Yang Geng's entanglement, and was about to hit it with one palm, when he heard Lord Lei's words, he was shocked and couldn't fall down. Lord Lei's words clearly forced him to betray the 'Deer King', and even forced his subordinates to betray him, it doesn't matter whether these words are true or false, the important thing is that anyone would rather believe it or not believe it or not, even if the 'Deer King' and 'Shunyi Hou' will not attack him for the time being, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be destroyed when the world is settled or he makes any mistakes, his unintentional words were used by Lord Lei, and now he can't spit out ...... if he can't swallow in his throat.
"I'll cut you first!" The leading man hesitated for a moment and finally let out a loud shout, turned around and picked up the knife and was about to cut it down.
Suddenly, a tile flew down from the roof and smashed on the fingers of the leading man, the man screamed in pain and let go of the long knife, he didn't react to what was going on, the door of the lobby had flashed close to the two, the twenty or thirty subordinates who were sitting at the wine table heard something strange and took the knife but it was a step too late, but they heard the painful cries one after another, twenty or thirty people had fallen to the ground in a breath, and the sentry in the courtyard was dozing off, and suddenly heard the house move his hand, and before they came back to their senses, they saw two black shadows carrying the two people on their backs blowing in front of them like a gust of wind, and disappeared in an instantγ
"Oh no, the enemy has broken in!" the sentries were long gone, and the sentries shouted at their throats, which seemed particularly oozing in the empty night.
