Volume 1 The Sword Enters the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 9 The Shadow of a Rainy Night

"The human heart is unpredictable, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. This thing, who said it clearly. ”

"Shopkeeper Li is dead, and he is dead in front of me. ”

"Blatantly lied in front of the county hall, you have never met him, how can you come from an old friend. ”

The young man's face was expressionless: "He saved my life." ”

Fang Yan smiled: "If you lose a son and win the overall situation, you gambled well." ”

The boy shook his head: "How can I have a son? It's just another broken family." ”

"At such a young age, where did all this sentimentality come from. ”

The young man grinned, yes, he was just a raw melon egg who had just entered the rivers and lakes, but a child who was at the mercy of everyone in the eyes of everyone.

"It's because of that thing. ”

Fang Yan did not answer, and walked to the window, just as a figure appeared in the teahouse opposite, masked with black veil.

"Punishing adultery and eliminating evil, eliminating violence and peace and goodness, it is the responsibility of the government, and how can I say that I will help. ”

"Fang Dutou, there is something to ask. It is said that the law of the country is ruthless and the iron face is selfless, but what I see in front of me is not true. Why, you say?"

Fang Yan smiled: "I'm just a small head in the county government, relying on the monthly income to support my family." I don't know what the laws and regulations are, but it is my duty to act according to orders. ”

The young man smiled, and the brightness in his eyes was restored.

"I want to make sure that Boss Li's house is safe. ”

"It's under control, and a pillar of incense will be seen. ”

The young man thought for a moment, and then raised his head suddenly, with a murderous aura in his eyes.

"Why?"

"There are so many reasons. ”

Fang Yan put his hands behind his shoulders and slowly walked down the stairs: "You are too smart, but unfortunately it still doesn't help." Now that the evidence is conclusive, it's time for the Beast Head Gang to shed its skin. ”

The boy smiled playfully and gave a thumbs up at the back of the dialect.

He finally understood why Fang Yan didn't go upstairs with him, he finally understood why the killer was arrested so easily, and he finally understood the playfulness in the eyes of the former magistrate of the mansion.

From the moment he stepped into Longtan County, he was already in the game.

The Beast Heads want to take that kind of thing, and so does the government.

The boy is just a pawn that breaks in by chance, but it becomes the key to breaking the game.

The shopkeeper Li died, the murderer pleaded guilty to the law, and the beast head gang could be convicted. As for a small deliberate murder, it must have fermented to the point of being out of control.

All the government needs is an excuse, such as the sparkling beast head on the iron arrow on the chest of Shopkeeper Li, or the masked killer directed and acted by the government on the second floor of the teahouse.

It was only at this moment that the young man understood what was said in the book of his previous life.

"The world is sinister, how can there be good and evil.

On this day, Longtan County is destined not to be peaceful.

The case of murder in the teahouse has been decided, and the sound of drums beating outside the gate of the government office has been repeated one after another. The papers accusing the Beast Head Gang flew like snowy catkins and were piled up with wooden cases in front of the hall.

The corners and alleys were full of officers and soldiers, and more than a dozen buildings in the city were in flames.

On this day, Fang Dutou led the crowd out of the city to suppress the bandits, and heard that the county magistrate had already moved reinforcements from Qingzhou.

On this day, the Beast Head Gang disappeared as if the world had evaporated, and there was no movement.

On this day, the people on the street cheered, and the young man on the table in the wine shop was very drunk.

News came from outside the city, but in half a day, Fang Dutou had leveled dozens of halls of the Beast Head Gang.

It is rumored that when the officers and soldiers arrived at the helm, the house was empty, and the helmsman of the Beast Head Gang and the elders were nowhere to go.

Naturally, the people did not care whether they lived or died, but only knew that they would not need to be bullied from now on. The magistrate of the county in the government was smiling, and the spy documents were sent to Qingzhou as soon as possible to invite merit.

The people in the mountains were anxious, and most of the three days had passed, and when the boy woke up, he was picked up by Fang Dutou, and he called it a beautiful name to ensure safety.

The woods in the south of the city.

"Goo, goo, goo......"

A figure emerges from the jungle, covered in dead leaves.

After a few moments, the fallen leaves fluttered and the shadows of the trees swayed. Dozens of figures came out from all directions, all dressed in the same attire.

"Helper!"

"Helper!"

In the middle of the crowd stood a bald man with a huge beast's head embroidered on his chest.

The man took the bamboo tube that was handed to him and took out a piece of stationery from it.

"Helper, what does the letter say?"

A hoarse voice came from the crowd.

The bald man's face was solemn, and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground and turned into pieces.

"Qingzhou is already in chaos, and the adults tell us to protect ourselves and not to clash head-on with the government. ”

"Helper, news has just come that after the two entered the mountain, our people were lost. ”

"Rubbish!"

The bald man clenched his fists and punched the trunk of the tree, and the force of the fist penetrated into the wood, and the trunk was dented in large areas.

"Gang leader, now that the forces in the city have been purged, there are only a few spies left, and the dialect guy is still sending people to search for them. ”

A burly Scarface stomped his feet and said angrily: "I'm in a hurry, go into the city and chop that guy, all bullshit is headed, it's just a waste of dogs." ”

The bald man waved his hand: "The thing hasn't been found yet, and you must not act recklessly now." ”

A feminine voice came slowly: "The helper has a countermeasure?"

The bald man's face sank like water, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of weirdness.

"In that case, let this Longtan Town be turned upside down!"

The birds in the forest were startled, and after a moment, fell silent again.

It was night, and the rain was pouring in.

An inn in the city was brightly lit, and the young man danced with chopsticks in his hand, regardless of the dialect standing beside him, and a large number of dishes were missing from the table.

"Fang Dutou, sit down and eat?"

The young man drank all the wine in one gulp, only to feel a little spicy.

Fang Yan clasped his arms and said with a smile: "I don't have such treatment, besides, you are a little baby, why are you so addicted to alcohol." ”

The young man took a bite of food, and there were words in his mouth: "It's hard to eat and drink for nothing, I'm a person, I like everything, but I don't like to suffer." ”

The young man thought about it again and said, "Fang Dutou, now that you have imprisoned me in this inn, there should always be an explanation. ”

"Good food and drink, how can it be considered a captivity. ”

"I've said it all, I'm not familiar with them, can it be that you can lock me up for the rest of my life?"

"If you don't come for a day, wait for a day, and if you don't come for a year, wait for a year." ”

The boy smiled at Fang Yan and shook the empty bottle in his hand.

"Little Er, serve the wine!"

It was late at night, the rain was drizzling, and the streets were empty.

The lights outside the county yamen flickered, and the figures of the two errand officers swayed, only to feel sleepy.

"You two, what are you doing?

The patrol team walked by, and the leader scolded, and the two officers instantly came to their senses, and their waists were straight.

"The county government is on duty at night is a priority, let me see it next time, I will not forgive!"

Their heads bowed, and their mouths respectfully responded. It wasn't until the team walked a long way that he dared to raise his head slightly.

"What's there to be angry about, a petty officer with a big fart. I haven't even seen a mouse in this county office, so what kind of assassin is it to guard against. ”

One of them slapped the dust on his body and muttered quietly.

"After this night, I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

The other yawned, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill behind him.

Turning his head sharply, a dark shadow flashed. In the blink of an eye, the companion next to him fell to the ground, and there was blood on the back of his head.

The officer's pupils shrank, the hand on the scabbard trembled slightly, and a leisurely voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Are you looking for me?"
