Chapter 24

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei searched for another long time, but found nothing. They looked at the river on the roadside and saw that the water flow was gentle and the bottom was clearly visible, but the killers who jumped into the water were like fish.

, disappeared without a trace.

The two of them moved forward again, knowing that a powerful enemy was waiting nearby, so they were extremely cautious.

After walking for more than ten miles, no enemy appeared again. At this time, the two of them had entered a town. Although there were only about a hundred households, it was quite lively. It was already past noon, and both of them were a little hungry.

Then they walked into a small pub on the roadside and each ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup.

The tavern was small and pitiful, selling only hot soup noodles and steamed buns. It was just the time for dinner, but the place was packed with more than 20 people. Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei and four other diners were crowded together.

In front of the table, when you raise your hands, your arms will touch each other, so it is quite embarrassing. Several people at the same table who heard it were arrogantly eating noodles, making a snoring sound mixed with the smell of garlic. Li Qiufeng has been in the palace for a long time.

, Yan Dufei was also a master who was used to eating big fish and meat. Seeing this scene, he frowned.

When the shopkeeper brought the noodles, Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufeng were so hungry that they immediately picked up the bowls and ate without caring about the people around them. Unexpectedly, although the shop was shabby, the noodles were cooked extremely delicious, and they were greatly impressed.

.

At this moment, someone outside the store suddenly heard shouting: "Killing! Killing!"

Suddenly there was chaos in the store, with many people running out. The store owner jumped to his feet and shouted: "Masters, please settle the bill first!"

Those people ran faster.

However, Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng ate all the noodles, and then Li Qiufeng took out a piece of loose silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "No need to look for it."

The shop owner was originally looking sad, but he didn't expect Li Qiufeng to be so generous. He immediately beamed with joy and thanked him all the time. A bowl of hot noodle soup cost only eight copper coins, but this piece of loose silver could be exchanged for a hundred or ten copper coins. I thought some diners were missing.

I lost all my money today. Not only did I not lose any money, I actually made some profit. How could the store not be overjoyed?

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei left the tavern. Yan Dufei smiled and said, "Brother Li, I admire you for your kindness and wealth."

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yan is joking. If brother were rich, he wouldn't let you go like this."

Yan Dufei asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Everyone in the world thinks that Jin Yiwei spends money like water, and everyone has a lot of money. Who knows how hard it is? The brothers have worked hard for so many years. Although they are already a hundred households and are military attachés of the sixth rank, their monthly salary is only ten kilograms.

. Take it to the market and exchange it for silver taels. After deducting the wear and tear and errand fees, you can get back more than nine taels at most. This amount of money is far from enough to rent a house in the capital, let alone support a family. Those who only have three taels per month

The brothers with a generous salary live an even more miserable life. There are indeed some people in Jinyiwei who go out to handle cases and make a lot of money. But most of the brothers are just eating from the royal family and relying on this salary to survive."

Yan Dufei said: "I have never heard of this. It is said that Jin Yiwei is very rich. When he goes out, he always wears a tall horse and a jade belt. When he arrives at the county government office, it is too late for the local officials to flatter him, so how can he have no money to spend?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly and said: "There are rumors in the market that there are countless things that can be made. Just like the Feiyu suit, it is all sewn in the palace. If it is accidentally broken, you have to pay for it to repair it. I only hope that I can make a difference with Brother Yan this time."

My brother took the money and hid far away in the south of the Yangtze River, no longer caring about the affairs of the world."

While the two were chatting, they walked to the street with the crowd. However, they saw that hundreds of people had gathered in front of them. From time to time, they could hear exclamations, mixed with shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.

Knowing that someone was taking action, the two people hurriedly squeezed into the crowd. However, the street was small, and there were many people crowding around to watch. When the two people squeezed to the front, they were both sweating profusely.

But I saw a group of police officers holding steel knives and iron rulers, surrounding the two people.

When Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei saw the two people surrounded, they couldn't help but feel shuddering in their hearts, and thought to themselves: "How could it be her?!"

But he saw a man in green wearing a deep hat and holding a long sword. It was the girl from the Murong family who had had a fierce battle with Yu Yuanyuan.

Behind her was a woman protecting her. The woman was in her thirties, wearing coarse clothes, with messy hair and a sallow complexion. She was hiding behind the girl in fear, her whole body shivering.

One of the detectives laughed sinisterly and said: "Why do you need to protect this prisoner? Give her to us, and the reward will be yours."

Another detective waved the iron ruler in his hand and said: "You are protecting her. Could it be that you are having an affair with her? Haha, haha."

All the detectives burst into laughter, and some kept teasing the two of them with obscene words. However, they saw several detectives lying outside the crowd, and they must have been knocked to the ground by the girl from the Murong family.

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei had seen the girl take action and wondered how these agents could trap her here. While hesitating, they saw the girl pulling the woman behind her and trying to break out of the encirclement. The two agents waved their hands.

He stood in front of her with a steel knife, and several other police officers held weapons and slashed at the woman behind her. The woman's steps were heavy and she obviously didn't know martial arts. The girl originally wanted to use her sword to deal with the two police officers standing in front of her.

She was quick, but when she saw several other agents attacking the woman behind her, she had no choice but to retract her sword and force those agents back. However, she was forced to stop again and was unable to break out of the encirclement.

Li Qiufeng whispered: "This girl is trying to protect that woman, otherwise she would have killed all these policemen. It's a pity that this girl has so little experience in the world. Those policemen are just here to arrest people, how dare they kill people on the street? She

You can knock down these policemen first, and then rescue the woman."

Yan Dufei said: "Look, this girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old. How did she know about these activities of licking blood from the blades? If Murong Qiu Shui knew about this, why would he be so angry that he vomited blood?!"

At this time, Li Qiufeng suddenly discovered that four detectives secretly climbed up the surrounding walls, set their bows and arrows, and aimed at the girl in the circle.

Hearing a sharp sound, the two policemen had already shot out arrows, hitting the girl's throat and the temple of the woman behind her. The girl waved her sword and was about to deflect the arrow. She heard two more "swish" sounds,

The two policemen hiding on the wall behind her shot arrows directly at her and the woman's backs.

In this way, it is not difficult for the girl to deflect the two arrows shot in front and behind her, but the two arrows shot at the woman are absolutely unavoidable. If she blocks the arrows for the woman, she will definitely

To be wounded by arrows.

At this moment, there was only a loud sound of a hidden weapon piercing the air, and the four long arrows were knocked away by someone with copper coins and stuck diagonally on the ground.

All the detectives were frightened and looked around in panic. The chief of the detectives shouted loudly: "The masters are handling the case here. Who dares to ruin the good things of the masters?!"

The girl took this opportunity to raise her left hand and fired four silver needles in succession. Several screams were heard. The four detectives hiding on the wall each covered their right eyes and fell down. The girl used the silver needles to pierce their eyes.

Shot blind.

The policemen shouted and rushed forward again. The young girl waved her sword to cover her, but she had to protect the woman behind her. She could not move forward or retreat freely, and was restricted everywhere. She was almost cut by the fastmen's weapons several times.

Li Qiufeng shot the arrow away, and Yan Dufei smiled and said: "We have a fate with this girl, so we might as well do the best and help her get rid of these spies. If there is a chance in the future, it would be nice to meet Murong Qiushui.

Let’s talk.”

Li Qiufeng nodded. Without pulling out his long knife, he strode forward. With both hands, he grabbed the backs of the two detectives' necks. The force in his palms vomited, and the two detectives were already there.

He flew out and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up. However, he saw Li Qiufeng charging into the crowd, pointing here and there, and in just a moment, these detectives were beaten to the ground and lay on the ground.

The chief catcher was kicked more than two feet away by Li Qiufeng. He endured the pain and stood up. He pointed at Li Qiufeng and said, "You dare to beat the officer, are you going to die?"

Li Qiufeng didn't even look at him, he reached out and took out a bronze medal from his pocket, held it up in his hand and said: "The Jin Yiwei is handling the case, everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!"

As soon as the onlookers heard the words "Jinyiwei", they immediately ran away like a camp exploded. In the blink of an eye, only Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei and the two women were left in the middle of the street, as well as a group of police officers rolling and moaning on the ground.

.

When the police chief saw the bronze medal in Li Qiufeng's hand, his legs went weak and he immediately sat on the ground. Li Qiufeng shouted: "Which yamen are you from?"

"Master Haojiao has learned that the little ones are the agents of the Changping County Yamen..."

The chief catcher struggled to stand up and replied with a frightened look on his face.

"Changping County? You are the county's government officials, why are you here?"

The police chief bowed and said: "This is Yong'an City's underground secret report. A criminal was found in this area. The county magistrate issued a document asking me to bring my brothers to capture the criminal. I didn't expect to meet an adult handling the case."

, the little one is so blind that he actually fights with the adults..."

Li Qiufeng frowned and said, "I will handle this case, you just go back."

The chief catcher saw that the fifty taels of silver reward he was about to receive had gone away. Although he was quite unwilling to do so, he knew that Jin Yiwei was something he could never afford to offend, so he and the other catchers had no choice but to help each other and leave.

When Li Qiufeng saw that the policeman had gone away, he turned around and was about to talk to the girl. However, he saw a cold light flash before his eyes, and the girl's long sword had stabbed his throat.
