"Come here, capture the criminal quickly," He Chongzhi ordered, and five of the dozen or so policemen immediately followed Da Kui in the direction he was running.
He quickly rushed to the prison car, reached out and grabbed a long sheathed knife from a policeman's hand, then turned around and ran towards the direction where Da Kui was chasing him, although he knew that with his adoptive father's skills, Nothing will happen, but one more person means more certainty. Wu Jiheng was killed. There must be something fishy about it, but Panbu didn't know what the mystery was.
There is a locust forest to the west outside Qingpu County. The forest is overgrown with vegetation and thorns, and dozens of graves are hidden in it. Even though the sun is shining brightly, it still looks eerie. This forest is the public tomb site of Qingpu County, which is also the grave circle. , whenever people don’t have their own tombs, they will bury their dead here. Once night falls, will-o’-the-wisps can often be seen lingering here. Even the bravest people don’t dare to stay here. It is said that this place is often haunted and often haunted by ghosts. There are rumors that a man who lost his mind hanged himself here. Although it is a rumor, it is a bit strange.
It was almost midnight, but there were two men in gray clothes waiting by the locust tree forest. One of them had broad shoulders and a powerful look, while the other was really skinny and withered, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. The two of them looked towards the county seat with eager eyes. I was waiting for someone. It was not until nearly noon that I saw someone running along the official road in the direction of the county town.
Although this man was running on foot, he was running very fast. In just a moment, he had reached the edge of the forest. When he got closer, he saw that this man was actually carrying a hard bow on his back and an arrow pot on his waist. This man Dressed in gray and black cloth, he looks just like a farmer, but the stiff bow he carries on his back shows his difference.
The man with the bow just ran to the two men at the edge of the forest. The thin man among the two men guarding the edge of the forest asked: "Liu Ya, have you succeeded?"
The man with a bow named Liu Ya came from a distance, but his breath was unusually smooth. Hearing this, he just nodded and then said: "Thank you, the two brothers are waiting for you here. After I succeeded, I almost couldn't catch him. The strength of that guy's feet is very good." Awesome, I had to find a place to hide in the middle of the way to escape tracking,"
After a pause, Liu Ya continued to ask: "Brother Yong, let's go, this is not the place to talk."
The burly man nodded and said: "Well, now that the matter has been done, we should go back." Then he said to the thin man: "Lao Wan, you stay here while Liu Ya and I go to the temple. Let's get something here, we will meet here when we are young." The thin man named Lao Wan nodded and immediately walked towards the locust tree forest.
This place is close to the roadside, and standing here is too big a target, so Lao Wan hides in the forest, so that he can hide his eyes from others. Who knows that there is a person standing on a tree at this moment, looking at Liu Ya and the man named Yong Ge The old man walked into the woods until they were far away, but the old man kept walking deeper into the woods.
The man on the tree was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt. I don’t know how he got up the tree despite his gorgeous clothes. If his clothes were scratched, it would probably cost him some money.
While Lao Wan was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind behind him. In a hurry, Lao Wan leaned forward and hurried forward, then leaned against a big tree. When he looked around, he didn't see even a single figure. One, Lao Wan thought of the rumors here, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. For some reason, his throat suddenly became thirsty. He was on full alert, but someone behind him tapped him lightly on the shoulder. Although it was The force was extremely light, but it scared away half of Lao Wan's three souls and seven souls before he even turned the corner.
"No...no...no, don't scare me," Lao Wan stood there but didn't even dare to look back.
"I'm a ghost, please give me my life," an intermittent and erratic voice came from behind Lao Wan. This voice was creepy to the ear, especially In this dense forest cemetery, it sounds even more frightening.
"Oh my god," Lao Wan exclaimed and ran out of the forest. As he ran, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never come to the cemetery again in this life. When Da Kui saw Lao Wan running out of the forest, there was something unexpected on the ground behind him. The steps were covered with water stains, and the old man was probably so scared that he peed his pants.
Dakui smiled softly, followed him out of the locust tree forest, turned a corner and followed Lao Wan all the way.
Lao Wan was still running. At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly hate himself for having only two legs. If he had four legs, he should be able to run faster.
Perhaps people can develop their greatest potential in extreme fear. Old Wan ran as fast as the wind. Da Kui chased him for nearly five miles before he saw a dilapidated earth temple in the distance. The three of them had He once said that he would gather in the locust forest, but at this moment, Da Kui did not dare to pursue him any closer. Once discovered by them, if he ran away, where would he chase him?
Seeing Lao Wan running into the small temple, Da Kui followed him to the temple gate. He peeked into the temple but saw no one there. Lao Wan must have gone to the backyard.
Dakui quietly retreated further and walked around the small temple. He found that although the small temple was dilapidated, it was still intact. Dakui quietly climbed up the wall, grabbed the top of the wall with his hands, and quietly looked into the courtyard. I saw the three people in the courtyard were together, and Lao Wan was chattering anxiously and wanted to talk about something. Judging from his expression, he thought he was talking about his encounter with a ghost.
Seeing that there was no ambush in the courtyard, Dakui felt relieved. He climbed down the courtyard wall and walked around to the main entrance again. Dakui entered the temple gate grandly and walked towards the backyard.
"Everyone feels so at ease," Dakui greeted in a loud voice, but he looked very contented.
The three people in the courtyard knew something was wrong when they saw Da Kui coming in, but when they saw Da Kui standing in front of the temple door, they all felt a little frightened.
This person is so elusive that it is difficult to deal with him, especially since he followed Liu Ya all the way from the county seat without noticing it. It must be this person who frightened Lao Wan. The three of them looked at each other, but they were helpless. This person dared to go alone. Come on, he must have extraordinary abilities. I am afraid that even if the three of them join forces, they will not be his opponent.
Just when the three of them were at their wits' end, Dakui said with a smile: "Let me ask you an answer. If I am satisfied, it will not be difficult for you." After speaking, Dakui smiled at the three of them and then continued: "Don't try to resist. Not my opponent,"
"What do you want to know?" Lao Wan asked after a moment of shock.
"Lao Wan, don't bother talking to him," Liu Ya said. He turned around and took off the bow from his back. He held the bow in his left hand and drew an arrow in his right hand. Who knew that before he drew the bow, Dakui With a flick of his wrist, a little silver light shot out. With a "pop" sound, Liu Ya exclaimed. He had been hit on his right wrist. The arrow in his hand was unsteady and fell to the ground immediately. Waiting until it hurt Liu Ya's hidden weapon. When it hit the ground, the three of them saw clearly that what fell on the ground was a small piece of silver.
"Who are you?" Liu Ya broke into a cold sweat from the pain, but still gritted his teeth and asked. At this moment, his right wrist was a little red and purple, and judging from the injury, he might have damaged his blood.
Dakui was still gentle and asked in an unhurried tone: "Now I am asking questions and you are answering them. How come you are the one asking the questions?" Dakui changed his tone and asked in a cold voice: "Why did you kill Wu Jiheng? Who ordered it?" The three people in the courtyard looked at each other again, but no one spoke.
Seeing this, Dakui said: "In that case, come with me to the Yamen." As he said, Dakui walked towards the three of them, his steps were steady and without any hesitation. When the three of them saw Dakui approaching, they all had expressions on their faces. Surprised, there was no suspense in this. The three of them knew that they were no match, but they had no choice but to resist.
The secrets in my heart cannot be told, but the three of them are familiar with the torture in the yamen. Once they enter the yamen, they will not be able to survive but die. In this case, it is better to give yourself a happy one.
First of all, Brother Yong came to Liu Ya's side in a flash. He reached out and took out a long arrow from the quiver on Liu Ya's waist. Then he turned the arrow towards his throat and inserted it into his throat. The other two people stood around. They retreated quickly, each took out a dagger from their arms and slashed their own throats like Brother Yong did.
Dakui had already expected it. He swung his hands and fired out several dots of silver light. There were a few soft sounds in his ears. The wrists of the three people holding the murder weapons were each hit. Dakui used great force. After the three were hit, they all felt their wrists were on fire. It was so hot that he couldn't hold the murderous weapon in his hand, and long arrows and daggers fell to the ground one after another.
Da Kui was no longer polite, Shai Yinzi took action again, hitting the Tanzhong points on the chests of three people respectively. Brother Yong, Lao Wan, and Liu Ya fell down. Da Kui looked at the three people who fell to the ground and couldn't help but feel a little scared. What are these? People are not afraid of death, and they don't take their own lives seriously.
But after thinking about it, Dakui took back the money on the ground one by one, and then walked to the corner of the backyard, because there were three horses there, which must have been the mounts of the three of them.
Dakui removed all the shoulder joints and ankle joints of the three of them, threw them one by one on the back of the horse, then rode one himself, led two horses out of the small temple, and walked along the official road towards Qingpu County.
Since the three of them agreed to meet in the locust grove, the locust grove must be the place they must pass through. Where they are going, this official road goes straight to the west, and they want to go west.
Dakui was upset, so he stopped thinking and rode all the way back to Qingpu County.
He Chongzhi, the prefect of Songjiang, has not left. After this incident, he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. Now the General Secretary has taken the lead in chasing the murderer, but he does not know if he has caught anyone.
At that time, Dakui was a powerful person in the north and south of the Yangtze River. There is nothing to say about his martial arts. It's just that people's hearts are sinister. It's better not to be plotted against. As the saying goes: It's easy to hide from an open gun and hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Once the General Secretary has a shortcoming, then Songjiang, There is no need for the prefect anymore.
It is difficult to be an official, but it is even harder to be a good official. Not only do you have to be considerate of the people's welfare and livelihood, but you also have to worry about the face of the court. Maybe it is easy to be a corrupt official. You bully the people and the people dare not speak out, but when you ask questions, you just use money to manage them. , but it is extremely difficult to be a good official. The suffering of the common people is an official's dereliction of duty. If you are not satisfied with the job, you can only endure it. After all, the official career is hard, and the right path is full of vicissitudes.
