Outside the gate of Guangliang County.

The bustling crowd shuttled back and forth in the city gate, including hawkers, merchants, and strangers who came to Guangliang County. It's just that today is a little different from usual, and the number of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate has doubled, and they check everyone who enters and leaves, which only adds to the tension.

It also gradually spread among the neighborhoods, last night the old man Jin Wei of the Jin Mansion of Guangliang County was killed, and the county commander Ma Youfu was extremely angry, and issued a wanted warrant overnight to arrest the main culprit and the accomplice. The number of officers and soldiers on the street also increased, and the people also began to talk about it.

"It is said that Chen San did it!"

"Chen San, I seem to have seen him, seeing that he is powerless and penniless, how could he do such a thing?"

"It seems that Jin Wei robbed Chen San's wife, then Chen San was angry, sold his ancestral house and hired a killer to assassinate Jin Wei!"

"That Jin Wei also deserves it, relying on his brother-in-law is county order to be lawless, hmph, I think the killing is beautiful. ”

"Shhhh ”

For the discussion in the market, most of them are on Chen San's side. They also saw Jin Wei's usual evil deeds, and they had long hoped that someone could punish the bullies in this county.

A group of officers and soldiers walked up to the notice board in the market, and the leader took out a few portraits from his bosom and pasted them on the wooden signs. The surrounding pedestrians gathered one after another, and the leader turned around, raised his voice to the people in front of him, and shouted, "These two are extremely vicious outlaws! They killed Master Jin of the Jin Mansion last night! Anyone who finds clues and reports them will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver! Those who capture the main culprit alive will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver!"

After shouting several times, several people left with the paste bucket. The crowd rushed to the sign, trying to get a better look at the person on the portrait.

There are two people in the portrait, the main culprit is a fairly ordinary-looking young man, and the accomplice is the somewhat haggard Chen San.

"Ah, it's really Chen San, no wonder I saw that his house was surrounded by officers and soldiers last night. ”

"I haven't seen this main criminal, is it a foreigner?"

"Five hundred taels! I've never seen so much money in my life!"

While the people were talking, a young man with red hair squeezed out of the crowd, came to the portrait, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at the portrait for a while.

"Five hundred taels...... I can eat several meals. The red-haired boy licked his lips, his crimson eyes glinting.

"Shhhhhh The crowd around them noticed the young man, who was shorter than the average person in height, and had a delicate appearance, with a pair of sword eyebrows and flame-like hair. To everyone's surprise, there was a pair of small horns on his forehead!

"Youkai!" the crowd erupted in screams, and in a few moments everyone ran away, except for the boy standing alone in front of the sign.

When the red-haired boy looked up, he found that half of the people around him were gone, and the ground was full of messy vegetable leaves, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Whatever it is, I'll have to find my five hundred taels of food money first. The young man dressed up in a strong suit, put the portrait at his waist, and left the bazaar.

......

Guangliang County Yamen.

"How can this be reasonable! You are so efficient? Let you look for a night and still not find it! What if you let the prisoner escape!" Ma Youfu, the county commander with a gray beard, said angrily and slammed the table.

"My lord is angry, it was late at night when I arrived at Chen San's house last night, and it was really difficult to find someone. We have stepped up the investigation at the city gate in the morning, and the patrols on the streets have also doubled, and I believe that he will not be able to escape, and it will be a matter of time before he is arrested. The man in the headcatcher suit bowed his head in the hall.

"Give you three days, if you can't catch it, this month's income will be halved!" Ma Youfu was a little angry.

"But this is the main culprit...... It may be a little tricky to catch. The headcatcher paused.

"What's the trouble?"

"There are a total of three corpses in the Jin Mansion, one is from Master Jin Wei, one is from Chen San's wife Zhang Feng, and one is from Yang Chengfei. ”

"Oh, what is the origin of this Yang Chengfei?" Ma Youfu knew very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help asking.

"This Yang Cheng is not small, and he is a master who has become famous in the martial arts in recent years. I have also heard that he is the top master of this generation, the kind of master who can fight with the main master of the Martial Arts Alliance. "The head catcher introduced Yang Chengfei to the county order in as straightforward words as possible.

"So what? Isn't he dead?" Ma Youfu's head didn't turn.

"That means that the strength of this main culprit is still above this Yang Chengfei, then Yang Chengfei was able to defeat a peerless swordsman of thirty back then, with the strength of our county government, I am afraid that ......" The head catcher dragged out the end.

"If there are few suspects, go and borrow troops from the defenders, what's the use of you shouting here?" Ma Youfu rolled his eyes.

"The subordinates obeyed. The catcher clenched his fists, turned around and hurried out the door.

In the small yamen hall, only the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper were left at this time, and the other arresters all went out to patrol, and almost all the manpower of the entire yamen was used to hunt down the two prisoners.

"Damn, it's not good for these two people to kill anyone, dare to kill my nephew, they don't even take my county order seriously!" Ma Youfu scolded angrily, the master book next to him glanced at him, and began to record the copy.

"If I catch them, they will be cramped and skinned and fed to the dogs! Let them see what will happen if they provoke me!" Ma Youfu said, not noticing that a dark shadow was approaching behind him.

"Whose tendons do you say you want to pull and whose skin are you going to pick?"

An unfamiliar voice sounded in Ma Youfu's ears, he only felt a chill in his back, and a cold dagger slowly slid onto his neck, and he suddenly trembled with fright.

"You...... Who are you!" Ma Youfu's eyes widened, and the dagger around his neck almost suffocated him.

"Didn't you just say you were going to give me a cramp, and now that I'm here, you don't know me?" said the man behind him.

The master book on the side raised his head and looked at the young man behind Ma Youfu in horror, although there was a deep scar on his face, he could still identify it, it was the main culprit on the portrait.

"He's the culprit!" exclaimed the bookkeeper.

"Daring fanatics...... You, you dare to threaten the imperial court officials! You, do you still have a royal law in your eyes!" Ma Youfu mustered up the last bit of courage and said in a deep voice.

He Ding came to Yamen as early as before the sun rose, in fact, he also went to the Jin Mansion first, and found that it had been cleaned, and the three corpses had disappeared, thinking that they should have been carried to the morgue of Yamen. So I came to the yamen and waited on the roof for a long time.

"You said that I have already put the knife on your neck, do you think I have a royal law in my eyes?" He Ding smiled.

"You...... What the hell are you going to do!" Ma Youfu saw that the threat was useless, and his voice suddenly trembled.

"I'm here for two things. ”

"You...... Listen to it, and the officer may agree to you. Ma Youfu held his face strongly, but his legs trembled.

"First, remove the wanted warrant on the street, transfer back to the garrison at the city gate, and don't track me down Chen San anymore. Second, Zhang Feng's body is with you, right? I want you to give her a thick burial and personally bow three times in front of her grave. If I find out that one of these two things is not done well, this table will be your end. He Ding raised his other hand, secretly urged the reckless bull, and slapped his palm heavily on the wooden table.

I saw a "boom" of the wooden table, and at that moment, it exploded in all directions, shattering into countless pieces. Ma Youfu was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and the ground under him was wet.

"I also want to remind you, it's useless to have a lot of people, it's as simple as pinching you to death if I kill you, you know?" He Ding always had a smile on his face.

"Know...... Know. Ma Youfu replied in horror.

"It's good to know, I'm optimistic about your performance. He Ding whispered in Ma Youfu's ear, and then slowly retreated, disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.

Only the frightened Ma Youfu and the master book were left in the lobby, and after He Ding's voice disappeared for a long time, they dared to say the first sentence, "Master book, do you see if he is gone?"

"Like, like gone. The master nodded dumbly.

Hearing this, Ma Youfu seemed to be paralyzed like a loss of strength, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his underwear was already wet and could wring out water.

After Ma Youfu, who was over fifty years old, was so frightened, his chest was really stuffy, and his brain was a little swollen. He had worked hard for decades, and finally climbed to the position of the county commander, and he didn't want to go to the Western Heaven Elysium without enjoying it for long.

"My lord, I've borrowed a hundred people, and I'm sure I'll be able to catch those two murderers this time......" The head of the trapper ran in from outside the door, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the wood chips all over the ground in the lobby.

"My lord, what's going on?" the head catcher looked at Ma Youfu, who was sitting on a wooden chair, with an embarrassed look and a puddle of unknown liquid on the ground.

"Look at what!" Ma Youfu said angrily.

The head catcher immediately lowered his head, "My lord, the hundred defenders of the city are ready to standby, just waiting for your order......

"What kind of life! My nephew deserves to die, do you know! I don't have the ability to provoke such a master, Lao Tzu almost has to be handed over to him!" Ma Youfu almost roared, and the green tendons on his neck also popped up.

"Adult ......"

"What a big person! I'll give you an hour, and transfer the patrolling trappers on the street to me quickly! Remove the garrison at the city gate! Also! Bring out that Zhang Feng's corpse to me, and I will give her a thick burial!"

"This ......" the headcatcher's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a while. He didn't understand what was wrong with this Ma Youfu's brain, so he said such a thing.

"Don't go yet!" Ma Youfu took off his shoes and threw them hard in the face of the headcatcher.

"Yes!" the catcher covered his face, turned around and ran out of the yamen quickly.

On the roof, a young man watched with a smile.

"I'm pretty talented at scaring people. He Ding laughed, jumped and disappeared on the roof.
