Chapter 174: Assassin

The four men in strong suits on the table at the door fell into their stomachs with a few bowls of wine, and their faces were suddenly flushed, and their voices were also raised, which caused the dissatisfaction of the middle-aged scholar.

"Hey, you guys keep your voices low, there's someone else eating in this house. The middle-aged scholar reminded.

"Lao Tzu spends money to drink and cares about your?" the big man with a meaty face said disrespectfully.

"Why are you unreasonable? The scholar said.

"Who do you say is not shameful? The man in the suit asked angrily.

"Isn't it? You let the old gentleman at this table give a commentary, and it is not uneducated to make a loud noise in the lobby. The scholar pointed at Liu Yong and said.

"Okay, let this old man give the commentary. The man seemed to have drunk too much, his body swayed, and he looked at Liu Yong with drunken eyes.

But Mo Yan saw a gleam in the man's eyes, he was pretending to be drunk, and the middle-aged scholar looked like he was weak on the surface, but his temples were high and bulging, and his martial arts were by no means below those four people.

Mo Yan saw that several of them were acting, so he gently kicked Li Yuantong under the table.

Li Yuantong also felt that something was wrong when he looked at it, put down the wine bowl, grabbed the scabbard with his left hand, and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, staring at them with fierce eyes.

After all, Liu Yong is a civil official, and he knows very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and as soon as he heard that he was asked to judge, he said: "You should be self-restrained in the public, this scholar is reasonable." ”

"On what ground? I think you know each other so you deliberately spoke for him. The man was not convinced.

Another man raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Brothers, drink well, now you are disappointed to get home, damn, today I have to teach this poor scholar a lesson." With that, he pulled out his waist knife and made a gesture to come over and cut the scholar.

The scholar turned pale, grabbed the umbrella, and was so frightened that he hid behind Liu Yong, standing right in front of Mo Yan.

Through the shadow of the light, Mo Yan pointed out like the wind and quietly hit his Sanjiao Yu acupoint, and the scholar suddenly felt paralyzed and unable to move his hands and feet.

At this moment, Li Yuantong reacted quickly, pulled out his long sword with a "swish", pushed Liu Yong to the corner of the wall with one hand, and blocked the front with his horizontal sword.

Mo Yan still sat on the chair, took a big sip of the wine bowl and took a big sip in his mouth.

The man in the power suit looked at the scholar who had been pointed at in surprise, as if wondering why he hadn't done it yet.

And at this moment, the scholar was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, his mouth moved twice to signal with his eyes, and the man in the strong suit finally understood that the middle-aged scholar had already caught the Tao and could not sneak attack Liu Yong behind his back, so he raised his knife and slashed at Li Yuantong and Liu Yong in the corner.

Liu Yong's scholar didn't know martial arts, and he had never seen such a posture, and his pale face flashed behind Mo Yan.

The man in the strong suit has strong internal strength, and the single knife is wrapped in the whirring wind and slashes down, and with the sound of "dang", Li Yuantong blocked with a sword and suddenly shook the tiger's mouth, and at the same time, the remaining three men also rushed up with their own blades.

Mo Yan quickly calculated in his heart, if he didn't make a move, it would be difficult for Li Yuantong to protect Liu Yong and let him die under the knife of these people, although his revenge was avenged, he always felt angry, and it was not their turn to kill, thinking of this, he decided to make a move.

He pursed his lips and "squeaked" with internal force to shoot out a line of wine, hitting the big vertebral point on the back of the neck of the big man who was fighting against Li Yuantong, the man felt a sudden stiffness in his neck, and his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms, Li Yuantong stabbed the long sword into the man's chest.

The big man with a face full of meat found out that it was Mo Mo who was making trouble, and he slashed it fiercely with a single knife in his hand, which frightened the scholar behind him and screamed. Mo Yan grabbed two chopsticks and threw them out, and shot into the man's forehead with a "poof" twice, and the big man snorted and fell on his back.

In the end, the two big men understood that the real martial arts were the highest was the young man sitting at the table, so the two of them exchanged their hearts and raised their hands, and "swished" and shot two sleeve arrows straight to Mo Yan's front door. Because the distance was too close, Mo Yan had to open his mouth and blow out two real bubbles to shoot down the oncoming arrows. At this moment, Li Yuantong stabbed straight with his sword, and put down the third big man, and the remaining person turned around and fled when he saw that the signs were wrong, and Mo Yan waved his hand, and the pottery altar containing "Sangluo wine" flew up and smashed on the back of his head. The man's body went limp, Li Yuantong screamed, and the long sword stabbed him in the heart from behind.

"Stay alive!" Liu Yong quickly shouted.

At this moment, all four men had died, and only the middle-aged scholar was still standing there.

"They're in a group. Mo Yan said coldly, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Who are you, and who are you instructed by?" Liu Yong sat down and began to interrogate the middle-aged scholar.

"Say it quickly!" Li Yuantong scolded sharply.

The middle-aged scholar's neck was stiff and he didn't say anything, Li Yuantong hurriedly put the long sword on his neck, and the man was unmoved.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Liu, who was still frightened, came out from behind the counter and said with a sad face: "Good man, what should I do if I have so many lives?"

Liu Yong said to him: "What county is this place under the jurisdiction of?"

"It belongs to the territory of Xuanhan County. ”

"You let the guy in the store ride a fast horse to the Xuanhan County Ya to report the case, and the old man will testify for you. Liu Yong comforted.

"Okay, let's go, don't go. Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly asked people to go to the county office.

Mo Yan went out and walked around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

These killers are targeting Liu Yong, so do he still have any enemies? If they are not personal grudges, or they involve officialdom, no matter what the reason is, they must find out themselves.

Mo Yan returned to the inn lobby and said, "There is no one else outside." He picked up the middle-aged scholar's umbrella and looked at it, and pulled out two Emei steel thorns from it.

"It turned out to be a charlatan killer. Li Yuantong said.

Mo Yan took out the short sword "P" and cut off the Emei steel thorn, and then "Wow" slashed a steel thorn in an instant like peeling a fruit. He said to the scholar: "Do you know Ling Chi? Such a sharp short sword will not hurt when it comes to human flesh, before the people from the official mansion arrive, should you cut your ears or nose first?"

The scholar's will to resist at this moment completely disappeared, and he said, "Don't, don't lynch, I just said it." ”

"Who are you?" asked Mo Yan.

"In Xia Tong Tianshuang, the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'Emei scholars', they are the four bears of Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou, and they have been with you for two days. ”

"Who's on the order?" Liu Yong asked from the side.

"We are all underworld people, and someone paid a high price to buy your life, so we rushed to Ankang Dao. ”

"Who is that person?" asked Liu Yong.

Tong Tianshuang shook his head: "I really don't know that they are all buyers contacted by Boss Fan among the four bears in Fanjing Mountain, but he is dead." ”

"Do you know who you're going to kill?" asked Li Yuantong.

"I don't know, it's just that an old man from Luo Guo has a scholar and a bodyguard, but I didn't expect that there are masters in the dark. He said, glancing at Mo Yan.

Liu Yong continued to interrogate for a while, and it seemed that this person was just an ordinary underworld killer, and he didn't know who was behind the scenes.

After tossing for a while, everyone was hungry, Liu Yong asked the shopkeeper Liu to get Mo Remnant and Li Yuantong some more wine and food, if it wasn't for Mo Remnant today, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the knife, and he died on this road of health and well-being for no apparent reason. Originally, when I heard about his victory over the Dongying samurai with two pieces of sugar cane in the court, I felt that it was exaggerated, and there were many boastful elements in it. Today, when I saw it, I knew that this was true, Mo Yan's martial arts were unbelievably high, it seemed that he had to rely on him all the way to Yunnan, and the Ouchi guards seemed to be just a decoration, and they couldn't stand it when they got to the real thing.

In the middle of the night, the county magistrate of Xuanhan County hurried to the Sangluo Inn with a group of catchers.

As soon as they entered the lobby, they were startled, and four strong men with big shoulders and round waists were lying on the ground, covered in blood.

"Who killed them, and where is the murderer now?" asked the Xuanhan County Commander, who had two beards and was wearing a seven-grade supplemental uniform.

The catcher behind him shook the iron chain in his hand for the county master.

"I killed them. Li Yuantong stood up, Mo Yan is not from the government after all, it is better to leave it alone.

"Daring! Dare to be so justified when you kill someone, come on, lock him up first and then interrogate him slowly. The county magistrate shouted loudly.

The hunters under his command immediately rushed up and wanted to take down Li Yuantong.

"Stop!" Li Yuantong casually took out a token of the Ouchi guard.

"Wait!" Seeing this, the county commander hurriedly waved his hand, then took a closer look, and said in confusion, "Are you the Ouchi guard?"

"Ouchi's first-class guard Li Yuantong. Li Yuantong sneered.

"Hey, what's going on?" The county commander was puzzled, why did the guards of the capital appear on Ankang Road?

"Boldly Xuanhan County Order, take a closer look at who this is?" Li Yuantong looked at Liu Yong.

This Xuanhan County Commander was short-sighted, put his whole head in front of Liu Yong and looked at it for a long time, then turned behind him and looked at the hunchback, and suddenly stumbled, and stammered: "Isn't this a cabinet scholar of the court, Liu, Liu Yong Liu?"

Liu Yong smiled faintly: "It's this official." ”

"Xia Guan deserves to die, Xia Guan has no eyes, and I hope that Lord Liu will forgive his sins. The county order, "Pouton", knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's your name?" asked Liu Yong.

"Under the official Xuanhan County Order Pei Wanfu. ”

"Get up, those who don't know are not guilty, four of these five underworld killers have died, leaving one alive, you take it back and interrogate it strictly. Remember, this official is on an errand this time, and you must strictly keep the secret and not leak it out, understand?"

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand. Pei Xian Ling said repeatedly.

Mo Yan unlocked the acupoint of the middle-aged scholar Tong Tianshuang, and was chained and taken out by the catcher.

Next, the hunters began to investigate the scene, conduct an autopsy, and finally carried away the four corpses, and brought the killers' horses back to the county office.

At this moment, it was the fourth watch, and the shopkeeper Liu looked at Liu Yong in surprise and said: "It turns out that you are the famous Liu Luoguo, no, no, Lord Liu Yong." ”

"This official is just a Luo pot, so what's the point of shouting?" Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Lord Liu, no one knows your name in the world, but the old man is fortunate to see him today, and it is really in vain. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, this matter has caused you trouble. ”

"Where, Lord Liu, it's almost dawn now, the old man will prepare for you to go early. Shopkeeper Liu smiled and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Mo Mo thought in his heart, this Liu Yong's reputation in the hearts of the people is not bad, even if he retaliates against him, he must be secret, otherwise he will not be able to make a name for himself and make the world spurn.

"The closer you get to Li Shiyao's territory in Yunnan, the more dangerous it will be, so everyone should be extra careful from now on. Liu Yong said worriedly.
