Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of Life Chapter 52 Revealing the Truth
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at the general manager. Unexpectedly, he immediately noticed it, and turned his head to look at Wang Xiaotian.
Wang Xiaotian did not dodge. Curiosity is a normal reaction, and if you look away, it means that he is weak.
The general manager glanced at Wang Xiaotian and saw that he only had fourth-level Force power, and there was no possibility of deliberately provoking him, so he ignored him.
The general manager's eyes were like knives, he glanced at the bounty hunters, and said coldly: "The reward notice clearly says that the target is Zhang Yihuo, and only by catching or killing him can he cash out a million bonus." The notice said that the cottage where the Eagle Cliff was burned down and a bounty was given?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then they began to shout again, "But we have all helped, and there are a lot of dead and wounded, how can this be counted?"
"That is, although there is no credit, there is also hard work, right?"
"Yes, yes. Besides, we don't want all of them, that is, let the Chamber of Commerce take out 180,000 meanings. That's a drop in the bucket for them. ”
"Yes, who's to say it's not. ”
............
"Hmph. The general manager snorted coldly again, and everyone felt as if it was a cold day, swallowed a mouthful of ice slag, and a chill that could freeze people rushed straight to their heads.
The general manager looked indifferent, swept everyone again, and said: "This line of work was originally a business of licking blood with a knife. Complete the task and become rich overnight, and everyone is envious. If you can't complete the task, you will lose your life, and no one will be pitied. Where to share the credit and hard work!"
"Now that you have received the task, you must have such an awareness. Besides, if you are not good at your arts, you are not good at what you do, not to mention that you can't earn a bounty, or you have lost your life, so what do you have to do with others? ”
When everyone turned around, they saw that on the wall directly above the gate, there were sixteen big characters written as red as blood: "Take your own risk, have nothing to do with others." Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. ”
These sixteen words have been there all along, but they have all been ignored. Sometimes, even if these bounty hunters see and talk about these two words, they just use them as jokes or condiments to tease others. I didn't think about it, but today I slapped myself in the face. Everyone bowed their heads one after another.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads, the general manager said disdainfully: "What are you doing here?" Do you want me to take care of your food?"
Everyone was ashamed, frowned, and turned around and slowly left.
Wang Xiaotian has completed the procedures for receiving the task. Originally, he wasn't going to bother with that. Because he got a lot of floating money from Ding Jian and Zhang Yihuo, as long as Ding Jian and Zhang Yihuo were not caught, no one knew about these floating wealth.
Therefore, the less people know about the collusion between Ding Jian and Zhang Yihuo, the better. But seeing the lost appearance of these people, he couldn't bear it and shouted, "Wait a minute. ”
Everyone stopped and looked back, looking at Wang Xiaotian in puzzlement.
Wang Xiaotian said: "Do you know how Zhang Yihuo ran?"
Hearing Wang Xiaotian say this, everyone was a little surprised.
At this time, someone recognized Wang Xiaotian and said in surprise: "Hey, didn't you follow Ding Jian to intercept Zhang Yihuo together...... That one...... Young man?"
The others immediately came to their senses and said, "Come on, how did Zhang Yihuo run?"
One of the shrill voices shouted, "Did you deliberately let him go?"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a burst of confusion, and everyone turned their heads one after another, looking at Wang Xiaotian's eyes gradually unkind.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." ”
Taking advantage of everyone's stunned efforts, Wang Xiaotian hurriedly said: "That's right, I followed Ding Jian to intercept Zhang Yihuo at that time." Moreover, we also met Zhang Yihuo. ”
Everyone immediately fell completely silent, looking at Wang Xiaotian intently, wanting to hear him continue.
Wang Xiaotian paused and said, "The reason why Zhang Yihuo escaped was because of ......"
"It's because you're dragging your feet. A shrill voice came from the crowd. Wang Xiaotian fixed his eyes and saw that it was the guy who took the lead in speaking before.
He was in his early thirties, sighing and thin, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and messy yellow hair.
"Monkeys, don't mess around. A middle-aged man next to him shouted, "Let him finish." ”
The guy known as the monkey seemed to be jealous of this man, and immediately shut up obediently, waved his hand, and signaled that he would not interject.
Wang Xiaotian continued: "Zhang Yihuo was able to escape because Ding Jian colluded with him!"
Everyone was in an uproar, and immediately asked Wang Xiaotian one after another.
Wang Xiaotian saw that everyone was making a mess, and he couldn't hear what they were asking. I was about to shout to stop them.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had interrupted the monkey just now said loudly, "Everyone be quiet. I know there's a lot of things you don't understand. But don't talk all yet. Let me ask this little brother a few questions first, maybe I can solve your doubts. ”
Everyone stopped asking, and the middle-aged man asked, "Little brother, do you have any evidence for saying this?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "There is no physical evidence. There is one witness. ”
Ling Yanzi walked up to Wang Xiaotian and said, "I was with him at the time, and I saw Ding Jian colluding with Zhang Yihuo with my own eyes. ”
The middle-aged man asked Ling Yanzi, "What happened at that time?"
Ling Yanzi said: "According to the plan in advance, we touched the bottom of the Eagle Cliff and set up an ambush, and prepared to quietly go up when there was chaos above, and attack the Eagle Cliff from behind." Who knows, before we can go up, Zhang Yihuo will come down. Ding Jian was surprised, and then Zhang Yihuo gave Ding Jian a bag of things, and Ding Jian let Zhang Yihuo go. ”
The middle-aged man turned to Wang Xiaotian and said, "What she said is too general, can you tell me the specific details?"
Wang Xiaotian knew that the middle-aged man deliberately asked the two separately. The purpose is to corroborate each other through the words of the two to see if there are any flaws, so as to judge whether what the two said is true or false, and whether they colluded to set Ding Jian.
After all, Ding Jian has a reputation in the bounty hunter industry. The gang of people who are arguing here are all third- and fourth-level Force Force (Gu Hongsan and they are still tracking Zhang Yihuo and have not returned).
Although they are quite numerous, their overall strength is not much stronger than Ding, and they don't want to blindly make enemies of Ding Jian.
Therefore, just based on Ling Yanzi and Wang Xiaotian's one-sided words, it cannot be determined that Ding Jian is a traitor who eats inside and out.
So, Wang Xiaotian told the situation at that time, 1510 original, and talked about it again. Everyone was angry when they heard this, and the crowd suddenly became angry.
Just as the voices of the people were shouting, and they were about to settle accounts with Ding Jian, they suddenly heard a voice ask coldly: "There is one thing I don't understand, with your strength, how can you escape Ding Jian's pursuit?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped, and they all looked at Wang Xiaotian in surprise. There were a few glances in them, and it was clearly determined that Wang Xiaotian was deceiving them.
It's no wonder that everyone doesn't believe it. Because the fourth-level Force and the fifth-level Force are very different, they are by no means able to be made up by talents, techniques, and equipment. A fifth-level Force cultivator is completely crushing a fourth-level Force practitioner.
If so, it has to be suspicious.
Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Wang Xiaotian said: "I really can't stop Ding Jian's killing moves. In fact, he hasn't used any sword skills on me that can kill me. ”
This sentence is not Wang Xiaotian's lie, because Ding Jian did not use a sword at that time, but a whip.
When everyone heard this, their faces showed a look of "you are clearly lying".
Wang Xiaotian ignored their reactions and continued: "The reason why he didn't use a killing sword technique against me was because he didn't dare. ”
The look on everyone's face changed from disdain to disdain. Don't dare to kill you? What are you kidding, who do you think you are?
Then, in the disdain of everyone, Wang Xiaotian threw out a thunderbolt, "He didn't dare, it was because he fainted blood." ”
Everyone was stunned by this thunder, what is the blood sickness?
Wang Xiaotian was very satisfied with everyone's reactions, and continued: "Fainting blood is actually a disease. When a person with this disease sees blood, or bleeding, he becomes dizzy and his limbs are weak. If the condition is severe, he will faint on the spot. ”
The crowd was even more surprised, exchanging glances with each other, as if asking, "Is there really such a disease? Isn't he lying?"
The general manager thought for a while and asked, "You are very familiar with Ding Jian?"
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not familiar." It was the first time I met him. ”
The general manager said puzzledly: "Even if Ding Jian has a problem with fainting blood, it should be a very confidential matter for him, and he will definitely not tell ordinary people." It's the first time you've seen him, and you're not familiar with him, so how do you know he has this problem?"
Wang Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, because when he forced me to the point where there was no way to escape, he didn't kill me with a sword, but untied his belt, took it apart, turned it into a long leather cord, and wanted to strangle me." ”
"How painful it is to be strangled, of course I don't want to. It just so happened that he was still holding his sword in his other hand. No, this is it. ”
He unwrapped the cloth from behind his back, took out Ding Jian's old long sword, and showed it to everyone. He originally put the sword in the original crystal space, but after thinking about it again, he decided to carry it on his back. After all, the original crystal space is more confidential, and the less people know about it, the better.
Ding Jian was taken aback. I immediately slashed him with a few swords and pushed him out of the way. He took a few steps back and said that although I had a sword in my hand, I was no match for him. I simply put my sword around my neck, saying that I would rather kill myself by wiping my neck than be strangled by him. ”
Wang Xiaotian glanced around, and the people who had already listened to it were fascinated, and continued: "To my surprise, he was so flustered that he asked me to put down his sword and slowly took two steps towards me. ”
"I was afraid that he would cheat, so naturally I refused to do what he said, and shouted at him to go away. I didn't expect him to really take two steps back. I was surprised at the time, and then I saw that his nervous look was not a disguise. ”
So he tentatively took the sword from his neck and put it on his wrist, to see if he was afraid that I would cut his neck, or if it was something else. He didn't force it, but looked nervously at my dagger, as if he was afraid that I would cut my wrist. ”
"I had a flash in my head and immediately asked him, 'Are you afraid of blood?'" and his expression became even more panicked. I deliberately slid my dagger back and forth against my wrist, his face becoming more and more ugly, and the corners of his eyes twitched vigorously. ”
"I knew I was right. So I cut his wrists and forced him to leave. But he refused. I don't dare to cut it rashly, in case he sees me cut my wrists, spurting blood and not fainting, but rushing over with a stiff upright, won't I be in danger of my life?"
So, they were in a stalemate for a long time, until Gu Hongsan and them came down from the Eagle Cliff. Ding Jian heard the movement and fled in a hurry. ”
The general manager of the bounty pavilion pondered for a moment and instructed the staff, "Go check Ding Jian's bounty record, the more detailed the better." ”
