Chapter 51: The Way of the Other
Qi Zhengyan's expression was out of control, extremely wonderful, and he was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Ghost Sword?"
"Yes. This article was first published by..." Meng Qi drank and ate meat with indifferent expression.
Qi Zhengyan was silent again and did not ask about Li Sui's fate. He became famous with the ghost sword, and the sword was never left. If the sword was like this, it would either be abandoned or died. There was no significant difference between the two.
After careful calculation, after deducting the time when Meng Qi went to Wufenglou to buy pork head and beef sauce, he went to Ye's mansion, killed Li Sui, and left Piaoran, only half a cup of tea in total! This is the situation where he was fully skilled on the way, not leisurely going, otherwise wouldn't he fight Li Sui as soon as he met and leave before everyone reacted?
Li Sui is a famous swordsman for many years. His seven orifices have been opened, and his inner world has achieved small success. If he can kill him in one or two moves, his strength will definitely exceed that of some of the nine orifices!
"I just found this jar of wine from the cellar..." He said softly, reached out to take Li Sui's ghost sword and groped for the sword edge. It was it that broke his cousin's tendons and made him break the path of martial arts. If the next reincarnation was a death mission, he would have planned to find some medicine to heal this injury.
"Hehe." Meng Qi laughed, and what he wanted was Qi Zhengyan's reaction. The wine had not started, the person had been killed, and the blood was not cold. This was the swordsman's style.
He enjoys these feelings, but he does not pay a big price for it. He usually does it with the flow. If he can't forget it, he is always rational and sober, just like he will never exchange for something flashy or naturally possessed for the sake of his style.
Qi Zhengyan handed the Ghost Sword back to Meng Qi, which was his spoils: "Li Sui was killed, and you first arrived, the Ye family would definitely suspect us."
"What are you afraid of?" Meng Qi didn't care much and poured a bowl of wine again. The osmanthus brew was sweet and spicy, and it was served with good wine.
Qi Zhengyan looked at him in confusion. He didn't understand why he didn't care at all.
Meng Qi poured wine, picked up a wide bean prepared by Qi Zhengyan, chewed it for a few times before saying, "Cousin, you don't have the awareness of a disciple of a great sect."
"Hmm?" Qi Zhengyan frowned slightly.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "The Huanhua Sword Sect is not a pure Buddhist place like Shaolin. Doctrines and classics must be the top priority, and it will definitely protect its own secular interests first."
"You are in Yicheng, which is a symbol of the Huanhua Sword Sect. Although you have no right or power to let the Ye family get married, you can only watch them return to protect the murderer. After all, your cousin is not a disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect. But if you do the opposite, how dare they come to the door to force you to hand over the enemy? This is like declaring war on the Huanhua Sword Sect. Even if the Zhou County Prince's family dare not take the risk of this comprehensive conflict! And they will not want to provoke six doors and make things worse."
"As for assassination, I'm sorry they dare not. It's not a calm situation at this time, and it's not a secretly looking for a left-minded master to escape after killing. If you have any trouble at this moment, you will definitely send someone from the sect. Once you understand, you will point directly to the Ye family."
"No matter what your uncle has, or what benefits he has received, one party's chief was killed. He can never hide it anymore, and the paper cannot keep the fire."
Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly, and said with some doubts: "If there are witnesses to prove you..."
"Haha." Meng Qi shook his head with a smile. "When your cousin was picked out, it was just in front of everyone. What did the Ye family say? You are bribing the charges and bribing witnesses! Now this sentence can be thrown into their faces. I wish they would not dare to make a big deal, so I will send someone to Huanhua Sword Sect."
"If you are afraid of this and that, it will only make people feel bullied. Only strong can they remember the Huanhua Sword Sect behind you, the magical weapons of the Town Sect, and the many powerful people in the outdoor scene."
Qi Zhengyan said relievedly: "I am an ordinary disciple in the sect. I have always been careful and cautious in doing things. When I went outside, I was the same, but I forgot the status and reputation of my sect."
Meng Qi drank another bowl of wine: "Cousin, don't worry, let's take a step back, if the Huanhua Sword Sect doesn't even support similar things, then why are you still staying in this sect? Follow me to wander around the world as soon as possible and get revenge."
"I believe this sect will protect the disciples." Qi Zhengyan's expression relaxed slightly. To be honest, he was not strong before, and was afraid that the sect's helpers would discover his own secrets. However, now he has a "coon" Xiao Meng. When he encounters something that needs to be done openly, he will come forward and expose himself to the danger and greatly reduce his risk.
Meng Qi's internal skills are already high, and his eyes are brighter the more he drinks, his eyes brighter: "Cousin, your uncle has a problem with his affairs. I wonder if it's because he is timid or another reason?"
"Maybe I'm old, thinking about retreating and retirement." Qi Zhengyan guessed.
If you are the master of making money, you will definitely score points and enjoy it. If you are responsible for handling the insider, you will also enjoy it. You will not dare to be too bold and too blatant. Otherwise, you will be easily discovered. In a year, you can buy dozens of acres of land and buy a new house. Even if Qi Zhengyan's uncle occupied good fields and shops, since there is no mine here, there will be no more medicine gardens and weapon refining workshops than him. Therefore, if you want to leave a wealthy family for your descendants after you are old and weak, you have to find another way.
"Yes, well, he may be old and stupid, thinking about calming down the situation, thinking that he could solve the Tang family's affairs, and was transferred away if he was suspected of being incompetent when reporting it." Meng Qi nodded slightly.
This action to eliminate the forces of the Huanhua Sword Sect will definitely not resort to open violence. Otherwise, even if Yicheng is backed by the Wang family of Yedu, it is quite far from the Sixiu Mountain where the Huanhua Sword Sect is located. The Huanhua Sword Sect has to send people to support it for the sake of its appearance. It can only gather other forces first and use uncooperative cold violence to squeeze out the forces of the Huanhua Sword Sect.
In this way, the Huanhua Sword Sect can get along well with each other. There are only fields and manors and ordinary shops here, which is not important. They often pinch their noses and make a promise. At most, they blame the incompetence of the person afterwards and have not dealt with the local forces well.
Qi Zhengyan's uncle was willing to take the risk of being punished afterwards, and he also wanted to suppress the matter and keep it safe. Except for his other purpose, he had only an old and foolish explanation.
Qi Zhengyan nodded and agreed with Meng Qi's words.
"Anyway, if there are signs of corruption in the matter, cousin, you should bypass the uncle and reply directly to the door." Meng Qi ate meat in big mouthfuls and drank a big bowl of wine.
Qi Zhengyan showed a wry smile on his face without any expression: "To be honest, if there was no other choice, I wouldn't want someone from the sect to send him."
The strength of the person sent to suppress the venue will definitely not be low, or even the outdoor scene. If he said later, "Xiao Qi, you are quite calm in your work, please give you two moves", or "Xiao Meng, your swordsmanship is outstanding and makes people itchy, so it's better for me to suppress my strength and compete with you. Hey, why are you able to have a golden bell cover..." Such things will be troublesome.
Meng Qi focused on it: "If we can solve it ourselves, of course we are unwilling to disturb the mountain, it is just a background for people to worry about."
While talking, the outside suddenly became noisy. A guy knocked in the door and said in a panic: "Master Qi, the people from the Ye family are here to challenge the murderer!"
He peeked at Meng Qi in fear, curiosity and awe. The cousin of the head of Qi actually killed the ghost sword Li Sui quietly, but was still in the Ye Mansion. This strength and courage are too terrible!
Could it be that he came to avenge his relatives?
What should he be called by Director Qi’s cousin?
Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi discussed for a while. At this time, he was confident in his heart, stood up expressionlessly, and said lightly: "You tell the Ye family later that my cousin has never left."
"Yes, the head of the army." The guy answered in a hurry.
Meng Qi didn't change his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and followed Qi Zhengyan out of the backyard and went outside the store.
There were dozens of people standing outside the door, and many of them were obviously powerful martial arts people. The leader was a young man in brocade clothes and jade robes. He was twenty-five or six years old, with a face covered with powder and a vicious look.
When he saw Meng Qi wearing a blue shirt, he pointed at him directly and asked the maid, servant and guest minister next to him: "Is it him?"
The maids and servants saw Meng Qi's appearance, and they were speechless. They didn't know how to answer. The young master glared at him and quickly said, "It was him, it was him who killed Mr. Li!"
The young master turned to look at Qi Zhengyan and lowered his face and said, "Master Qi, why did he send someone to steal into Ye's Mansion and kill my guest? Could this be the style of doing things in the Huanhua Sword Sect?"
Qi Zhengyan walked slowly down the steps, his aura was so calm that the young master couldn't help but take a step back. Why didn't he see him for a few days? The feeling of the affairs of the head of Qi gave people is completely different.
"You guys are in charge of crimes and find someone to frame my cousin." Qi Zhengyan didn't ask much and said coldly.
The young master was stunned and immediately furious: "The evidence and physical evidence are there, do you think it's false accusation?"
"Of course, I will accompany my cousin in person, and I haven't left for a while. Do you think so?" Qi Zhengyan turned around and said to the shopkeeper.
His eyes were cold, and the shopkeeper did not dare not answer: "Yes, Chief Qi's cousin has never left the rice shop."
"Young Master Ye San, did you hear it? If you frame my cousin again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qi Zhengyan looked at Young Master Ye San coldly.
Young Master Ye San gritted his teeth and said, "What you said doesn't matter, just follow me to see the official!"
"What official do innocent people meet? Even if the magistrate and the head of the captain arrives in person, they cannot frame my cousin!" Qi Zhengyan's expression remained unchanged.
"Okay, okay! Catch him to the six doors!" Young Master Ye San was furious and pointed at Meng Qi.
The masters beside him were about to jump out, Qi Zhengyan took a step forward and looked around them:
"This is the land of Huanhua Sword Sect. Do you want to do it?"
He took another step, shouting without any emotion:
"You want to be enemies with this sect?"
"You want to declare war on this faction?"
He was imposing. Young Master Ye San and the master around him took a few steps back, and then he remembered his identity as the landlord of the Huanhua Sword Sect!
Just when Mr. Ye San wanted to say something in a scene, Meng Qi suddenly smiled and looked at him and said, "Young Master Ye San, when my cousin's cousin was picked off by someone, was it you who said that the crime of plagiarizing Li Sui?"
Young Master Ye was about to answer, but when he saw Meng Qi's smile without a smile, he suddenly felt cold inside. Thinking of Li Sui, who lived deep in Ye's mansion but was brutally killed, swallowed with difficulty, snorted coldly, turned his head and left, his steps were extremely fast, as if he wanted to get rid of some possessed evil ghost.
"Cousin, I'm not afraid. If you go out in the future, you must be careful of the Ye family's revenge. After all, they have treasure soldiers in the clan." Qi Zhengyan reminded him, worried about Meng Qitao.
Meng Qi was about to answer when crying came from the street, but a group of people hugged the carriage and walked while crying.
"Wan Family?" Qi Zhengyan said to himself in confusion and ordered a friend to go over and inquire.
A moment later, the guy returned and said, "Report to the head of Qi, it was Mr. Wan who was killed on the river. His guards returned home with the body. It is said that Mr. Tang was also there at that time, but was injured by an assassin and fell into the water. His life and death were uncertain."
When the young master of the Wan family went out to do business, he naturally brought a guard. However, at that time, he felt that he had the master Tang Er, who was by his side, and there was no need for protection and it was inconvenient to discuss things, so he did not call them. After being killed, the guards rushed over and restrained the body.
