Chapter Nine
"Chen, Chen Xiu!!"
Chu Fang's eyes were instantly filled with horror!
Got it, he got it all!
This Master Chen actually dared to collude with bandits to rob and kill Tianye Mansion’s caravan!
"I told you, have a good trip!"
Chen Xiu sneered, and the Yanling knife in his hand suddenly slashed across!
Pfft——
The huge head rolled down among the blood.
"There are a total of one hundred and fourteen people in the big family. Kill them all and leave no one alive!!"
The big man named "Han Hu" nodded slightly, shook off the blood stains on Xuanhua's axe, and looked at the convoy with interest: "Brother Chen, let's go. Let's go see this great gift of yours."
Clang——
The solid iron cover was smashed open.
"The boss has a lot of fine iron!!"
"Buffalo tendon, this is a good material for making crossbows!"
The exclamations came one after another.
At this time, a strong medicinal fragrance hit my face.
"Two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, three-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, snake gallbladder, leopard fetus... wait, there is actually a century-old red fruit! Wouldn't it be possible to start making elixirs?"
"Great!! There is hope for my recovery!!"
Han Hu held the medicinal materials and laughed excitedly.
Chen Xiu's eyes suddenly condensed.
They actually know how to make alchemy?
"Brother Chen, Han accepted this meeting gift with a smile. Don't worry, one day later, when the 'Yongling Pill' is refined, Brother Chen will naturally have a share. As for the matters here..."
Han Hu laughed and patted Chen Xiu on the shoulder, which was quite meaningful.
"In that case, it would be disrespectful for Chen to refuse. As for this matter, Brother Han can rest assured that Chen will definitely handle it without any mistakes!"
...
In the evening, when Chen Xiu stepped into the city gate, he heard a piece of news:
The Tianye Merchant Alliance’s convoy was robbed and killed!
There were more than a hundred people in this huge convoy, all of them were killed without leaving a single one alive!
"Oh, it's my turn to perform. Brother Ma, I've wronged you!"
Chen Xiu reined in the inferior horse and suddenly dropped the Yan Ling Dao in his hand.
As the blood spurted out, the black bad horse roared and stumbled out of the mountain road like crazy.
Tianye Mansion, Mansion Office.
It was extremely quiet at this moment and there was no sound!
The elegant middle-aged Confucian scholar sat on the high platform of the government office, closed the book casually, and said calmly: "The Tianye Merchant Alliance's convoy was robbed."
"Third Young Master Chu, why are you responsible?"
The extremely thin young man looked rather gloomy, and said quietly: "Sir, this matter is strange. Although it is my dereliction of duty, but..."
"I am asking you how you are responsible?"
A slightly chilly voice sounded, and Mr. Chu was a little panicked.
He gritted his teeth bitterly: "Sir, the Chu family will make up for all losses. The goods will be delivered to your residence on time and handed over to you for personal inventory."
His heart was bleeding, but he didn't dare to refute.
Zhou Papi got another hit!!
"Well, this method is acceptable."
The Confucian scholar then showed a smile, held the scroll, and stood up slowly: "Then it's settled. Let's withdraw..."
At this time, a high-pitched roar suddenly sounded.
The young man, whose clothes were stained with blood, walked straight into the government office.
There is still blood on the Yanling knife in your hand!
"Your Majesty, please don't report anything important!"
Chen Xiu took a step forward, and his cold words resounded through the government office: "The Chu family colluded with the Mangshan bandits, and more than a hundred members of the Tianye Merchant Alliance were destroyed in the Black Mountains and abandoned in the wilderness!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised the token in his hand: "Although I am in vain, thanks to Mr. Zhang's love, I am the general manager of the Merchant Alliance's fleet!"
"While walking this morning, the Chu family claimed that they were ordered by the third son of Chu to forcibly interfere in the affairs of the caravan! If I hadn't been so kind, even if I were as clear-minded as an adult, it would be difficult for me to detect this son's treacherous plan!"
The huge government office exploded instantly!!
"You fart! What the hell are you? You dare to frame this young master, you are seeking death!" Young Master Chu was already filled with anger, and he immediately jumped into a rage. He casually drew out the sharp sword from his waist and slashed it out in the air.
"I'm just waiting for you to take action!"
Chen Xiu's eyes turned cold, his fingers twirled slightly, and the Yan Ling knife he held at an angle suddenly stabbed out.
The Yanling Sword is like a poisonous tongue, and its power is sinister and evil.
The swordsmanship of the Third Young Master of Chu is like water, endless!
The clanging sound of swords clashing was heard, and within a few moves, the Third Young Master Chu was already in chaos!
Stab——
Chen Xiu's Yan Ling Saber fell straight down!
Third Young Master Chu stumbled and fell to the ground, his clothes were torn to pieces, revealing his silver inner armor, and his face was full of panic.
What a sinister sword technique!
What a vicious killing move!
The prefect raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Xiu with interest.
waste!
However, he actually has inner armor!
I have no choice but to stop!
Chen Xiu frowned slightly, then immediately turned the blade and put it into its sheath.
"You, you want to kill me?" Young Master Chu shouted like crazy.
He has never been wronged like this since he was a child.
"Third Young Master, it seems you were the one who made the first move."
Chen Xiu glanced at him calmly and said indifferently: "As for your Chu family's interference in the caravan, there are countless people at the city gate today who can prove it!"
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and said with a sneer: "But you are so courageous. Someone above the government office actually dares to take action. Do you still consider yourself an adult?"
"You...you are so slanderous!"
Third Young Master Chu's face was pale, and the finger pointing at Chen Xiu was trembling violently.
"Quiet!"
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded. Chen Xiu slowly raised his head and finally saw this "parent official" of Tianye Mansion!
Under the black gauze hat, he has a handsome face and a three-foot-long beautiful beard. He is about forty or above, and he has quite the attitude of a scholar.
Chen Xiu sighed slightly in his heart.
Who could tell if it looks so good?
This was Zhou Wenlong, the "prefect of Tianye" who exploited the city, was arrogant and extravagant, and even sold his official position to win titles.
"I want to ask you, how did you know that the Chu family colluded with the Mangshan bandits? What evidence is there?"
Zhou Wenlong asked.
"I'm just guessing."
Chen Xiu's answer was beyond Zhou Wenlong's expectation.
He frowned slightly and was about to scold him.
Chen Xiu spoke again: "But I have some evidence. First, our travel route is quite hidden. We take the Qingfeng Mountain Trail. Unless the insider leaks the secret, it is almost impossible for outsiders to know;
Secondly, it is true that there are many refugees in Qingfeng Mountain, but if you look around, there are only Qingfeng Mountain bandits who can destroy a convoy of bandits. Thirdly, although there are many corpses, there are no corpses of Chu Fang. Is it possible for this bandit to act like this?
Would you be so kind as to let someone go?"
"You are alive too. Why can't you be the one who colluded with the bandits?" Young Master Chu roared and got up, shouting at Zhou Wenlong: "Master Zhou, it must be him. Hurry, put him in jail!"
idiot!
Chen Xiu sneered in his heart.
Mr. Zhou, at first glance, seems to be a rather conceited and stubborn person.
Where is the room for you to command him?
"Third Young Master, do you think I am a fool?"
Zhou Wenlong spoke coldly, with a slightly cold look on his face: "A mere white-bodied man became a detective just yesterday. Tell me, he has such great ability?"
"I, I, I..." Young Master Chu's face turned red and he didn't know how to argue.
Yes, this is just a pariah, how can he have such ability?
"Sir, the autopsy has been completed. There is indeed no body of Chu Fang. Not only that, the bodies of several senior officials of the Chu family have disappeared recently. This morning, someone also confirmed that there was a conflict between the Chu family and Detective Chen!
"
Zhang Yunshan's voice suddenly sounded!
Third Young Master Chu's face instantly turned pale, and he just kept muttering: "Impossible, impossible!"
Zhou Wenlong waved his hand indifferently: "Captain Zhang, take the third son of Chu into prison. In addition, notify the Chu family and ask them to come and pick him up. This is no small matter, so let them be more prepared."
Zhang Yunshan hesitated to speak, and finally sighed softly: "I obey, my lord!"
With that said, he took away the third son of Chu who was like mud.
Zhou Wenlong looked around and asked: "This happened suddenly, but the Merchant Alliance's goods have to be sent! Which of you is willing to escort the convoy again?"
For a moment, the mansion was extremely quiet.
With so many people dying in one breath, who would dare to go?
For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at him, but no one dared to respond!
Zhou Wenlong's face looked a little ugly, and then a voice sounded:
Chapter completed!
