Chapter Thirty: Fang Xiong Strikes to Capture the Thief
After exiting the gate of Huang's Antique Shop, Dong Zhi, who was walking next to Zhang Sui, seemed hesitant to speak.
Zhang Sui was a little surprised to see him like this and asked, "Brother Dong, do you have something to say?"
Dong Zhi hesitated for a moment, then approached Zhang Sui and whispered: "Master Zhang, it's best to talk to him when you take Daxiong out in the future, and ask him not to act casually, otherwise he will easily cause trouble."
Zhang Suiqi asked: "What's going on? Who did Daxiong fight with?" His mind turned around: "How many guards are there in the Huang family?"
Dong Zhi nodded.
Zhang Sui looked at Fang Xiong on the side and said, "What's going on, Nobita?"
Fang Xiong smiled innocently and said, "I threw their stone locks into the river outside."
Before Zhang Sui could react, Dong Zhi pointed to a small river in the city at least fifty or sixty meters away from the shop. There was a group of people gathered around the river and pointing into the river.
Zhang Sui looked back at Fang Xiong who looked unconcerned, went up and hit his head twice, and cursed: "What a good thing you did, you stupid boy!"
Fang Xiong didn't move his body, he just smiled and scratched his head with his hand. Dong Zhi looked a little frightened at the side, fearing that Fang Xiong would be angry and unable to control himself.
Zhang Sui said again: "It's okay, why did you throw that stone lock away? Are you full enough to hold on?"
Fang Xiong said: "They made a bet with me to see who can throw the stone lock farthest. The loser will call the winner grandpa."
Dong Zhi was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Sui looking back at him and said: "Those are a few people from the world recruited by the second young master of the Huang family. They are always used to joking. They are also joking with Daxiong outside with nothing to do."
Zhang Sui saw his expression and knew that Dong Zhi was not a good person in the middle, so he didn't say anything more.
Turning back, Fang Xiong said: "Next time if something like this happens, just crush the stone lock to scare them, so as not to cause trouble if it hurts someone if it is thrown out."
Fang Xiong nodded repeatedly. Dong Zhi was speechless.
Zhang Sui was in a hurry to go home and said to Dong Zhi: "Brother Dong has worked hard today. Daxiong and I will go back first. Come and sit at my place when you have time. Lao Lu is at home, so I hope you can come and accompany me."
He’s drinking!”
Dong Zhi nodded in agreement. Seeing that Zhang Sui was in a hurry to go home, he also said goodbye to him and left.
Zhang Sui got on the carriage and told Fang Xiong to close the curtain. Fang Xiong turned the carriage and drove towards his home.
Zhang Sui couldn't wait to open a wooden box in the carriage. He pointed his right finger at the big eyeball statue, and a warm current flowed into his fingertips. Zhang Sui's mind was in a trance for a moment, and he seemed to hear a frightened roar, and then
I watched a box of statues break into pieces.
Zhang Sui exhaled, put the box aside, and then did the same to the remaining two statues, both of which were completely shattered.
Looking at the several statues broken into small pieces, Zhang Sui felt full of joy and expectation. Zhang Sui felt that his fingertips seemed to be hot. He touched it with his left hand and found that the temperature was normal. It seemed that the hotness was not superficial.
It's a spiritual feeling.
Zhang Sui did not rush to open the Book of Wishful Wishes to check it out. He was afraid that if he stayed in the void of consciousness for too long, he would be in trouble if he still didn't wake up when he got home.
Zhang Sui was about to ask Fang Xiong to speed up and go back when he heard shouting and fighting sounds coming from outside the car. Zhang Sui was a little strange. This was the inner city of Kunzhou Prefecture. How could someone be so stubborn as to do something here? You know the city
The Wuwei Army and Qingyi Guards here are not vegetarians. If they dare to take action here, they really don't want to escape.
Zhang Sui opened the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the place where the sound of fighting came from. He took a closer look and saw that there were a few acquaintances.
I saw about a dozen Tsing Yi guards surrounding three men in linen jackets. The leading Tsing Yi guard was Cheng Di, the Tsing Yi guard commander whom I had met once.
The Tsing Yi Guards probably wanted to catch someone alive and were a little restrained, but the three thieves had no scruples and started with ruthless attacks. Two Tsing Yi Guards were soon injured.
The commander didn't take any action and just held the battle from the side. Seeing this scene, he became a little impatient. He sat on his horse and took off a short crossbow hanging from his waist. He didn't even take aim with his hand and directly pulled the trigger. Whoosh!
With a sound, a thief was instantly hit by an arrow in the thigh. The thief lost his balance and fell to the ground.
When the remaining two thieves saw this, they quickly stepped forward to pull him up and retreated while fighting. The thieves who were hit by the arrow said something to the two men, and the two men nodded. The three of them suddenly broke out and held out their hands.
The sharp blade exchanged wounds for wounds, forcing the green-clothed guard back a few steps. The man who was hit by the arrow folded his hands, and a thief stepped on it. The man who was hit by the arrow pushed upwards, and the man jumped up to the roof next to him.
A thief followed the same example and jumped to the roof on the other side. The two people on the roof separated and fled to both sides.
When the man who was hit by the arrow saw that his companion had fled to the roof, he smiled, limped, and waved the sharp blade in his hand to kill the Qingyi guard. However, the Qingyi guard quickly shot down the weapon in his hand, broke his good leg, and pinned him down.
land.
The commander took off his lower armor, frowned, looked at the two people fleeing on the roof, and gave a few instructions to his green-clad guards, who then separated into several men and chased them down the street.
Coincidentally, one of the thieves escaping on the roof was heading towards Zhang Sui. Zhang Sui hesitated and asked Fang Xiong, who was sitting on the shaft of the car: "Can you capture the man on the roof?"
?”
Fang Xiong looked up and nodded.
Zhang Sui thought for a moment and said to him: "Then you capture him and hand him over to the green-clothed guards over there." After saying this, he added another instruction: "Catch him alive, don't kill him!"
Fang Xiong nodded in agreement, jumped off the carriage, and easily pulled out the mixed iron rod placed on the carriage.
The thief who fled in this direction was very agile and ran on the roof as if he were on the ground. Pedestrians on the street screamed in surprise when they saw him.
Seeing that he was not far from Zhang Sui's carriage, the thief jumped up high and was about to jump across the street to the eaves on the other side. Fang Xiong saw the right moment and let out a low shout, throwing the iron rod in his hand.
Instead of running towards the thief, he directly broke the cornice where the thief was about to land.
The thief stepped on the air and fell from the air in a dance. Fortunately, the roof was not high from the ground. The thief fell directly to the ground and stood up in the blink of an eye.
As Fang Xiong strode closer, the thief saw a dark figure and rushed towards him. Although he couldn't see clearly who it was, he slashed at him without hesitation.
There was only a crisp sound, and then pieces of broken blades flew out in all directions. Those broken blades were only the size of copper coins, and they reflected the sunlight as they flew in the air.
The thief froze on the spot, holding only the handle of the long knife in his hand, with a dull look on his face.
Fang Xiong was less than two feet away from the thief and looked at him with his head lowered. The thief had a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at the handle of the knife in his hand and then at Fang Xiong who was so close. He seemed a little unable to turn his head.
It turns out that when Fang Xiong was approaching, the thief slashed at Fang Xiong with a knife. Fang Xiong didn't even bother to dodge. He stretched out his right hand and flicked the knife directly into the middle of the knife. The material of the knife couldn't resist Fang Xiong.
Xiong's strange power directly shattered into pieces of blades.
The thief finally came to his senses, threw the handle of the knife at Fang Xiong's head, turned around and ran away.
Fang Xiong tilted his head, dodged the handle of the knife, stepped forward, grabbed the thief's hair, pulled him back with a little force, kicked the thief in the calf, and heard
There was a sharp and crisp sound, and the thief screamed, and one of his calves bent unnaturally.
When Zhang Sui saw this scene in the distance, he shuddered and felt his teeth become sore.
Fang Xiong thought about putting the thief on the ground, scratched his head, and gave him his intact calf. The thief let out another scream.
Zhang Sui was speechless watching from a distance. At this time, the green-clothed guards who were chasing after them were a little frightened when they saw this scene. They stood on the outside and put on a defensive posture.
Fang Xiong was holding the screaming thief in his hand, so it was okay to throw him on the ground, and he felt awkward holding it.
Zhang Sui saw that there was no danger anymore, so he opened the carriage curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked quickly towards Fang Xiong.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from one side, and Cheng Di, the commander of the guards in green clothes, was seen running towards this side with an iron rod in his hand.
A closer look revealed that what Cheng Di was holding was the iron-mixed rod that Fang Xiong had just thrown out.
Cheng Di came closer, and Zhang Sui happened to run over. Zhang Sui bowed to Cheng Di and said, "Cheng Dutong, we meet again!"
Cheng Di sat on the horse without getting off. He glanced at Zhang Sui, reacted for a moment, then thought of him, nodded and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang." Then he turned to look at Fang Xiong who was carrying the thief.
Zhang Sui said quickly: "This man's name is Fang Xiong, and he is my attendant. I just passed by here and saw the commander leading people to arrest the thief. When he saw the thief fleeing here, I asked him to go over and capture the thief.
"
Then he said to Fang Xiong: "Nobita, hand him over to the brother of Qing Yi Wei."
Fang Xiong nodded and threw the thief in front of the group of green-clothed guards, who stepped forward and grabbed the thief directly.
Fang Xiong walked towards Zhang Sui. When he passed Cheng Di, the commander of the Qingyi Guards, he hesitated and said to Cheng Di, "Sir, what you are holding is my thing." He pointed at the iron rod.
Cheng Di looked him up and down and said in a deep voice: "What a skill. Are you willing to join our Qingyi Guard? I guarantee you a position as team deputy."
Zhang Sui smiled and remained silent. Fang Xiong shook his head directly after hearing this and said: "I don't have time, I want to protect the second young master and the third young lady."
When Cheng Di heard this, he glanced at Zhang Sui and saw that he didn't care, and said: "If you are willing, I can explain it clearly to the people in charge of the Zhang Mansion, and they will never make things difficult for you."
Fang Xiong was a little impatient and stretched out his hand directly to him without saying anything.
Cheng Di looked at him for a while and said, "What a pity!" He threw the iron rod at Fang Xiong with a strong force.
Fang Xiong caught it with one hand and played with it like a stick. He looked up and down the iron rod and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He breathed a sigh of relief and came to Zhang Sui with the iron rod in hand.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Cheng Di: "Commander Cheng has something to do, so I will take my leave!"
Cheng Di looked at him and said: "I was offended just now. I am really happy to see such a talented person. I can't bear to see such a good man condescend to others."
Zhang Sui laughed and said: "I understand. But Daxiong and I grew up together and are brothers. The things that Commander Cheng is worried about do not exist."
Cheng Di nodded and was about to say goodbye to Zhang Sui when suddenly there was an exclamation from the Qingyi guards.
A green-clothed guard hurried over to report, "Commander, there is something strange about the thief we just captured!"
Cheng Di shouted: "What's going on?"
The green-robed guard said: "The first thief caught suddenly spit out blood while being escorted. The blood actually contained highly poisonous substances. The two brothers were not aware of it and were sprayed on their faces. They were poisoned to death. The thief also laughed wildly and died.
Death."
Zhang Sui was a little frightened when he heard this, and looked at the thief who had just been caught by Fang Xiong. He saw that the thief was tied up tightly by the Qingyi Guards. Since his legs had been broken, he was being beaten by two
The Qingyi guard carried a door panel he found somewhere.
Cheng Di also looked at the thief. Everyone around him heard the situation reported by the green-clothed guard. The thief who had calmed down suddenly laughed strangely and kept saying: "You want to drive us out of the land of divine grace.
You will all get retribution, hahaha, you will all rot and die, no one can save you..."
As he spoke, the thief's face began to melt slowly like a burning candle. Soon, the entire head melted into a pool of yellow pus. The two green-clothed guards who were carrying him were so frightened that they smashed the door panel.
Lost it on the ground.
The thief's melting started from his head and gradually spread to his body, and even his clothes were corroded by the disgusting pus.
This made Zhang Sui couldn't help but think of the must-have artifact in Jin Yong's book: corpse powder!
Zhang Sui suddenly felt something in his heart, and he quickly stepped forward and came to the thief. Fang Xiong also followed quickly.
Zhang Sui suppressed his nausea and touched an arm that had not yet been corroded with the fingertips of his right hand. A stream of heat came from his fingertips. Zhang Sui was overjoyed. This was the second doomed creature he had found besides the Manzi statue.
force situation.
It felt like the heat was sucked clean by his fingers in just an instant. Zhang Sui quickly retracted his fingers, took a few steps back, and watched as the thief was completely melted away, not even his clothes were left behind.
Cheng Di looked at Zhang Sui's strange behavior and asked, "Did Young Master Zhang see anything?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "I haven't found any clues. I wonder where these thieves come from? Does the commander know their details?"
Cheng Di nodded and said, "I have some clues, but it's not convenient to reveal them to the young master."
Zhang Sui was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also knew that this was normal. He had never heard of the police having to explain the case to a passerby when handling a case.
Zhang Sui shook his head and said goodbye to Cheng Di: "In that case, I will not disturb the commander in handling the case. If you need my help in any way, you can come to my residence to find me."
Cheng Di nodded and said: "Thank you for your help today, sir. If there is any trouble in the future, as long as it is within the scope of my duties, you can send someone to find me."
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "I didn't help. It was all Nobita's fault. If you want to thank him, just thank him! It's a pity that the thief is still dead."
Cheng Di said: "Now that we know the origin of the thief, it is only a matter of time before the truth comes to light." Fang Xiongyi handed over his hand and said: "If you change your mind, you can come to Qingyi Mansion to find me at any time. My promise is always valid!"
Fang Xiong stood next to Zhang Sui, waving his hands casually and ignoring him.
When Cheng Di saw him like this, he didn't say much and signaled to Zhang Sui. He called to his green-clothed guards, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.
Zhang Sui touched his chin, looked at his retreating figure, thoughtfully, turned around to greet Fang Xiong, and got on the carriage. Fang Xiong cracked a whip in his hand, and the carriage headed towards his residence.
