Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che suddenly became nervous.
They didn't have time to think carefully about why the black armor was able to find this place so quickly. They looked around almost subconsciously, trying to find an object for self-defense.
At the same time, Mr. Luo and Xian Ling, who were busy in the back room, also walked out quickly. At the same time, Mr. Luo glanced sideways at Chu Qingxiao, signaling him to calm down.
"Who are these subordinates? Why did you break into my study?" Arriving at the door of the study, Mr. Luo looked at the black armors standing at the door. There was no fear on their faces, and he asked loudly at that time.
The noise caused the surrounding pedestrians to gather around and point at the place.
But the black armored men in front of the door just stared down at the thin scholar in front of them, with a fierce light surging in their eyes behind the black iron masks.
Chu Qingxiao and others, who had fought against Heijia several times, knew very well that these Heijia were just puppets controlled by others. They were obviously not afraid of the so-called human words and laws.
Chu Qingxiao was worried about Mr. Luo's situation, and his nerves suddenly became tense. Hearing the sound, Chu Zhaozhao also got up from the bed, stood behind Mr. Luo with Chu Qingxiao, and stared at that place nervously.
The ferocious light in the black-armored eyes became even more intense. The leader stepped out with one foot at this moment, and the iron boots fell to the ground, causing snow stains to fly.
At that moment, murderous intent filled the study, shrouding the scholar.
Chu Qingxiao's heart was already racing, and he almost subconsciously stepped forward.
But before he could lift his feet, Chu Zhaozhao behind him reached out to hold him.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and was about to ask a question.
But at this time, outside the study door, behind the black armors, a voice suddenly came.
"Don't be rude to Mr. Luo."
The voice was hoarse and old.
Like rotten wood being broken, moldy straw mats being cut.
The moment the menacing black armor heard the voice, he paused and then retreated to both sides.
At this moment, a figure in black robe slowly walked out from behind the black armor.
The figure in the black robe was stooped, and his bent back almost made his upper body parallel to the ground.
He walked up to Mr. Luo, slowly raised his head, and took off the hood on his head.
What was revealed was an old and thin face.
The hair on his head is pale and sparse, his eye sockets are sunken, his frame is bulging, and his face looks almost skinny.
"I've heard Mr. Luo's name for a long time," Heipao said.
The voice was hoarse and a bit breathtaking.
"Who is your Excellency?" Mr. Luo did not show the slightest surprise at the terrifying appearance of the person in front of him.
"Butler of the Zhu family, Zhu Quan."
"I'm sorry to bother you today, but I just want to ask you, sir, to make it easier for me to give someone to me." Hei Pao said with the same kind attitude. He even put a little smile on his face, but the smile was not worthy of his appearance.
His withered face makes people feel cold in their hearts no matter how they look at it.
As he said this, he raised his head and looked past Mr. Luo and Xian Ling to a side room beside him, where Chu Qingxiao and others were watching nervously.
The moment they felt Zhu Quan's gaze, the three of them were all frightened and quickly retracted their heads.
"Mr. Luo is a smart man, and my Zhu family will not do anything without evidence. Mr. Luo would never tell such a clumsy lie that no one is investigating, right?" Zhu Quan continued.
Mr. Luo was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Chu Qingxiao and others are indeed in my study."
As soon as these words came out, the people outside the study who were still watching the excitement suddenly let out a low cry.
The actions of Chu Qingxiao and others in the busy market yesterday, after a night of fermentation, have long been rumored to be magical.
Words like extremely vicious, demon incarnation, bloodthirsty, murderous and so on are appearing one after another around this street at this moment.
The people were somewhat filled with righteous indignation. Although Mr. Luo was quite prestigious in Wuling City, he was still inevitably criticized by the people around him at this time.
The faces of Chu Qingxiao and the three people hiding in the dark also changed.
"I knew you, sir, were unreliable!" Chu Zhaozhao whispered with an ugly face.
"Sir has already helped us a lot, there is no reason for him to risk his life for us anymore." Chu Qingxiao said.
"..." Although Chu Zhaozhao's tone was unkind, he understood the truth and fell silent immediately.
"Then what should we do now?" Wang Che's face turned pale.
"Escape?"
"There is no escape. This study is surrounded by people in black armor. I can feel their energy." Chu Zhaozhaohan said in a loud voice.
The three of them were like turtles in a urn at this moment, stuck in a dilemma.
"In that case, I hope you can make it easier for me sir." At this moment, Zhu Quan's voice sounded again, and a sinister smile filled his deep-set eye sockets.
The three nervous people suddenly became nervous when they heard this.
At this moment, Mr. Luo calmly shook his head: "Unfortunately, I can't provide you with this convenience."
As soon as these words came out, the people outside the study were stunned.
At first, there were some voices that helped Mr. Luo speak, but at this moment, they were completely drowned.
The crowd was agitated and cursed constantly.
Mr. Luo's expression remained as usual, staring straight at the black robe in front of him.
Zhu Quan probably didn't expect Mr. Luo's rejection to come so directly.
He was stunned for a moment, but the next moment a smile filled his thin face. He looked back at the excited crowd, then looked at Mr. Luo, and said with a hint of meaning: "Mr. Luo, you are
Is it true that you only read the books of sages and don’t listen to what’s going on outside the window?”
"The yamen's arrest warrants for Chu Qingxiao and others have long been posted all over the city. Yesterday, they sneaked into my Zhu family's house and killed a nurse in my house."
"Yesterday evening, the master of the family committed a murder and killed more than ten nurses from my Zhu family. Many people in the city witnessed this incident."
"You have to understand the consequences of covering up the murderer?"
"What's more, I agree to this. Ask the people of Wuling City if they agree?"
"Yesterday, this Chu Qingxiao could kill my Zhu family nurse, and tomorrow he can hurt everyone here and your families! How can you sleep peacefully at night if you allow such a vicious person to roam freely?"
Zhu Quan's words were extremely inflammatory. As soon as he said these words, the people around him became more and more indignant.
The curses rang loudly, and looking at the posture, it looked like he wanted to rush in right now and devour Chu Qingxiao and others alive.
"Chu Qingxiao killed someone. That's a matter of the Yamen. It's not the Zhu family's turn to take care of it, right?" Mr. Luo seemed to be oblivious to the angry curses around him. He flicked his sleeves and said so, standing in the black armor.
The figure in front of him remained motionless, showing no intention of moving away.
"The Zhu family was ordered by the county magistrate to assist the Yamen in catching the murderer. For the safety of the people of Wuling City, we have no shirking duty." Zhu Quan sneered and said with a sneer. The eyes in his eye sockets narrowed at that time, and there was already a fierce light in the narrow eye slits.
surge.
After saying this, the black armored men behind him stepped forward one after another, preparing to attack Mr. Luo.
This move made Chu Qingxiao and the others who were hiding in the dark no longer able to sit back and watch. They quickly walked forward and stopped in front of Mr. Luo. Seeing that the two sides were at war with each other, they were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
"Why didn't I receive such an order?"
"When did the order of Wuling City need to be maintained by private soldiers raised by others?" At this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the study.
But they saw it was the head catcher Cao Shugong coming with a large group of Wuling City government servants.
When the crowd saw his arrival, they also stopped talking and stepped aside to make way for the government officials.
Behind them were Wang Dagui, Chu Yueshan, Sun Kuan and others.
"Little bastard, why are you in trouble again!" Chu Yueshan and Sun Kuan saw Chu Qingxiao in the study and walked up quickly. When they met, they started to curse.
Ever since Chu Qingxiao got involved in this matter, the person he was most afraid of facing was his father.
His father and uncle had already sacrificed too much for him, and he was afraid to see his father's disappointed eyes.
His head hung down at this moment, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Wang Dagui also walked up to Wang Che at this time. He did not scold him, but looked at Wang Che up and down with a distressed expression for seven or eight times. After making sure that his precious son was not in his hands, he said: "It's okay.
Just don’t worry, dad knows that Chu Qingxiao must have coerced you into doing it."
"Dad has already sent the county magistrate a white jade lion and three 300-year-old ginseng essence. The county magistrate will not embarrass us."
"Bah! Whoever coerced someone is your son! Don't slander anyone!" Chu Yueshan, who had been angrily scolding Chu Qingxiao just now, heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into flames, he looked at Wang Dagui and started to curse.
"My little Che has been kind since he was a child. He is reluctant to step on ants on the roadside. He has known since he was three years old..." Wang Dagui recited his long list of "mantras".
"Dad, this really has nothing to do with Qing Xiao." Seeing that the two sides were about to argue again, Wang Che quickly interrupted.
"Yes, please stop arguing. If you keep arguing like this, can the problem be solved?" Sun Kuan, who had been listening to the two arguing for half an hour along the way, also hurriedly said.
Chu Yueshan and Wang Dagui obviously still haven't dealt with each other, but after all they understand that this is not the time to blame each other.
The two looked at each other, and then looked back, still looking a little unconvinced.
"Qingxiao, what is going on? Did you kill anyone?" Sun Kuan saw that the argument between the two had subsided, and he quickly looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked with a worried look on his face.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know where to start for a while. While hesitating, Cao Shugong and people from the Zhu family also started negotiating in front of the study door.
"Captain Cao, I've long admired his name." Zhu Quan looked at Cao Shugong who was halfway out and saluted him respectfully.
Cao Shugong frowned and stared at the black robe in front of him. He couldn't explain why, but he felt an aura from the other person that made him very uncomfortable.
He stretched out his hand to lift the other person's hand that was about to salute, and said in a calm voice: "I think these red tapes can be avoided."
"Now that we're here, leave it to us to catch the thief."
"Your Excellency, take your people and go back wherever you need to go. You can go back and tell your master that we will definitely find out the truth of the matter."
"If Chu Qingxiao and others are indeed the murderers of your nursing home, I, Wuling City, will never condone it. But!"
Having said this, Cao Shugong paused, and his eyes turned sharp at that moment when he looked at Zhu Quan.
Immediately, he spoke loudly again.
"If someone is deliberately trying to frame you, or even has ulterior motives!"
