Chapter 20 Walking in the Square (8)

"How did Xiao Zhao die?"

Zhang Xing took a step forward and asked sternly regardless of the rules.

"It's good that a life was lost, but it was really an accidental injury." The deputy gang leader surnamed Shen glanced at Zhang Xing, but only handed over to Feng Yong.

"Yesterday, Xiao Lieutenant Zhao came to deliver the post. Originally, Sun Wagua was prepared to entertain the student and send it out after saying a few words. However, Xiao Lieutenant Zhao did not want to stay for a long time at all, so he went to the side hall and forced himself to drink. After having a drink, he was about to leave, and he hated Sun Wagua. Then someone who was restless saw that Sun Wagua was angry, and came up with an idea to make a prestige against Xiao Lieutenant Zhao, saying that he would be trapped here overnight so that he could carry him out when they met today. Face... Unexpectedly, Xiao Lieutenant Zhao was about to leave, so he immediately took action. However, the few cultivated men under Sun Wagua always had eyes that reached the top of their heads, and they struck people without any seriousness. It was injured! And I didn’t know where the internal organs were injured. I really didn’t see it at the time. When I got sick at night, I just said that the pain in my abdomen was severe, so I went straight away... Even Sun Wagua didn’t know about it in the morning. Got an idea!"

Zhang Xing thought for a long time, and only one word came to his mind, that is, the impermanence of life and death, and then he also felt a trace of self-blame. If he had followed yesterday, or after using the compass to test it out in the evening, and directly brought Feng Yong to ask for people, would he be another one? result.

Feng Yong was also stunned on the spot, but after looking at the people around him for a long time, he spoke again: "Where is the body?"

"In the garden at the back..." Deputy Gang Leader Shen answered with his hands raised and respectfully. "Sun Wagua originally wanted to take advantage of the meeting at noon to pack the body and take it with her, and then sink it into the Luohe River on the way, so as to live and die without seeing the body. Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng Qi came too quickly and had too many people. He just asked me to go to the backyard to bury it... It was precisely because I felt guilty about this matter that I went to open the door for Lao Wang."

Feng Yong waved his hands repeatedly: "Nothing bothers you, Master. I can't bear to see it now. You go and prepare my brother's life. Use the good coffin that Sun Wagua prepared for his mother last time and send it directly to Xiao Zhao's house. He also has a brother and sister-in-law, take care of them and give my brother a grand burial!"

"I know, I know, I know everything!" Deputy Gang Leader Shen repeatedly handed over his hands and retreated.

"General Ding...did you hear that?" The man retreated for a while. Feng Yong was also stunned for a while, and then suddenly turned to look at the Jinwu Guards captain.

"Am I a bad general?" The gang leader named Ding shook his head and laughed. He was not a fool at all.

Feng Yong looked at the other party coldly: "How about I call Deputy Gang Leader Shen again, take my brother out of the coffin, and then General Ding listens to it again in person?"

The team leader surnamed Ding stopped smiling and really listened to the surrounding activities. When he couldn't cover up the news about his subordinates getting rich, he finally answered seriously:

"I heard it! The Qingyu Gang usually does evil things, but they actually dare to kill officials and resist the law in broad daylight. They all deserve to die! No matter if I go to Jingantai, the county government, or the north government office to follow my boss, I will ask this question , I, Ding Quan, and these guys, brothers Jin Wuwei, can say it again."

"Okay! What I want is General Ding's words!"

Feng Yong nodded, and then looked at his subordinates standing in the hall. His tone was calm and his words were horrifying. "It is enough for the brothers of Jinwu Guard to bear witness, because it was given to the superiors, and those who died were not theirs." ... But we are different, because after all, it is one of our own who died, and we have to give ourselves an explanation... Now, I will personally kill Sun Wagua, and all of you, except Lao Wang and the people in the first row in front of the door just now Except for those who rushed forward, everyone else went, one by one, to kill the thugs arrested in front of the door and Sun Wagua's confidants one by one. If not enough, they would kill them by name from the Qingyu Gang...kill them, including their own brothers. If you don’t want to kill me, just take off your clothes and get out...According to the rank, after me, I will start with the two Xiaoqi!"

Below the two flags, quite a few people turned pale.

But Feng Yong didn't care at all. He pulled out the sword again and dragged it outside. Everyone had different expressions, but they could only catch up in a hurry.

Zhang Xing was a newcomer and fell behind. When he came out of the hall and stood still, he happened to see Feng Yong dragging a knife to the tied up Sun Wagua in the courtyard. The latter had received countless fists, feet and sticks at this time. He had already

Like a true Japanese melon, he looked up and saw Feng Yong approaching. He seemed to want to say something, and he didn't know whether he was going to beg for mercy or to say harsh words.

But it didn't matter. Feng Yong didn't give the opponent a chance at all. Zhang Xing could see clearly that this general flag was also a person on the spiritual path. When he walked to Sun Wagua, he suddenly got lucky. The hand holding the knife was obviously a little khaki.

The color changed, and then the machete slashed down, straight towards Sun Wagua's neck.

However, I don't know whether it was because Sun Wagua's neck was too hard, or because Feng Yong had been pampered for many years and lost control. With this knife, only half of his head was cut off, blood spattered all over the ground, and his trachea was still pulsating with it exposed.

, Sun Wagua's eyes also opened wide, forcing Mr. Feng Qi to withdraw the knife, and then he slashed with luck again, and then reluctantly cut off the head.

Now that Sun Wagua was dead, the subordinates, cronies, and thugs who were tied up around him were terrified. One of them even had his hands tied loosely, so he luckily tore off the rope, and then struggled to push away the person in front of him before trying to escape.

But now, where is his turn to run?

There were people everywhere, and there were sticks, swords and guns everywhere, forcing this man to only use his luck to reach his limbs, dye his hands green, and then climb the wall, like a gecko... Zhang Xing originally just stood there with his knife in hand.

He didn't move, but when he saw this person rushing to the wall in front of him, and there was always an indescribable depression in his heart, he simply turned around and took his hand from the Jin Wuwei who was watching the fun next to him.

He grabbed a steel crossbow, then took a crossbow arrow, stepped on it with one foot, raised the string, raised his hand and released it, then nailed the man to the wall and kept wailing.

All I can say is that his movements are frighteningly skillful.

He hit the target with one blow. When he turned around to look at Feng Yong, the latter was gesticulating with his mouth open. Zhang Xingbian didn't do what he thought. He walked forward and called a few helpers to use whistle sticks and iron forks to strike the person down, and then stabbed him with a knife.

Get into that person's heart.

Then, without any surprise, an invisible stream of air surged directly along the handle of the knife. Zhang Xing tentatively pulled out the knife. The gentle infuriating energy continued to flow in, and finally it was still entrenched in the chest and abdomen.

With the chaos around him, Zhang Xing had no time to feel the properties of this new energy. He only felt that his fifth positive vein, which he had previously thought was hopeless in the short term, was faintly bulging. It seemed that he was only a few times away from impact. But even in this aspect,

The feeling was quickly forgotten by him.

Without him, when Zhang Xing turned around, he found that a killing spree was already going on behind him. The backbones of the Qingyu Gang were pushed to the ground like chickens in the market by the street cleaners, killing them wantonly.

At this moment, Zhang Xing felt his heart was in a state of confusion. He had no intention of stepping forward to make a profit, nor did he feel any pity or pity.

After all, these gangsters are not destined to be good people. They are the complete dark side of this city. They bully men and women, force girls into prostitution, and even work as smugglers. They can't help but pretend to be temporary human beings and go to the city.

They kidnapped some women and babies.

What Zhang Xing couldn't accept was actually Xiao Zhao's death.

In fact, in terms of relationship, he and Xiao Zhao are just temporary colleagues, and the two sides even have some quarrels with each other. They are not the same thing as Du Meng's kind of acquaintance but a life-and-death relationship. In terms of right and wrong, it is definitely Sun Wagua who is causing trouble.

Regardless of whether it was an accidental injury or something, it was him who caused the death. Even if he felt a little self-blame, he could not bear more responsibility than sending Feng Yong to live... But, for some reason, Zhang Xing always felt guilty in his heart.

Xiao Zhao's death has some strange emotions, and for the time being it can only be attributed to the fact that things developed too fast and suddenly.

The Qingyu gang has connections with the palace and the Beiya, and is involved in Luohe smuggling. As long as there is a little leakage in the palace, it will be a huge profit. What's more, Sun Wagua has been doing this business for four or five years? Therefore, don't worry about Zhang Xing's crime.

No matter what you say, it will not delay this carnival of wealth.

After the killing, there was no scruple anymore, and everyone ate in their bowls. At noon, a sixth-grade black-sanded man came to Jing'an Terrace and took control of the situation. He was able to produce batches of fine Sichuan brocade from the house.

, a large number of copper ingots came out.

Not to mention this, this black-souled man has really sharp eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the beams connecting the left and right side courtyards were too thick, and they were actually continuous. After someone pushed them down, he actually took out two extremely thick and strong high-quality gold beams.

Silk sandalwood.

In addition, there is unavoidable quarrels between various parties. The senior and middle-level officials of each yamen are all in their own skin and blowing whistles on each other. Officials from various departments also keep coming and going, asking the parties involved about the matter over and over again.

However, as Feng Yong said, it is always the officers and soldiers who take the thieves, and it is always clear black and white... More importantly, the underworld always kills the registered officers and soldiers first. If it is said that it will destroy the world, then it is the Jingjiehu division here.

There is a name, and everything happens for a reason.

Even if some people act violently, can they still be punished?

After a busy day, when I returned to the north gate of Xiuye ​​Square, there was no doubt that the gate had already been closed. Brother Liu climbed up the ladder with almost ease, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Xing up, letting Zhang Xing climb up.

However, with the help of the other party's hand, he climbed up the wall. Zhang Xing neither went down directly nor helped to collect the ladder. Instead, he pulled the other party to sit down on the wall.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing?"

Brother Liu kept smiling bitterly.

"I have some doubts in my heart. I am an elder and I hope I can impart some life experience." Zhang Xing responded sincerely, and then asked directly without waiting for the other party to shirk. "I can see that I used to be a soldier, right?"

"Hey...hey." Master Liu stepped on the ladder and leaned on the wall and sighed. "You see, what does this mean?"

"I have escaped from Luolongtan. The two expeditions against Dongyi in front have been defeated, and the defeat was a complete mess." Zhang Xing said sincerely. "I don't know if there is another way to return the whole army, but we are in the middle."

The Military Commission is really miserable. There are fifty people in the group, but I am afraid that I am the only one who survives... In other words, I crawled out from among the dead."

"This is really..." Fangzhu Liu thought seriously for a moment, and then nodded heavily. "Well, I understand what you mean... Then, why do you say this?"

"Those who crawl out from among the dead should take life and death lightly. It seems that I do. Moreover, when I introduced myself to others, I also said that I had killed people. Even General Fengqi also took a fancy to my killing. But

I don't know why, when I think about it carefully, I always feel that I am not that kind of person... Today, when I go to investigate the Qingyu Gang, I can obviously make huge profits by killing people, but in my mind I am only worried about Xiao Zhao's death, and I don't bother to go there at all.

Kill someone." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "Brother, is this the enemy?"

"The enemy."

Master Liu immediately laughed. "You just haven't figured it out... Those who climbed out of the pile of dead people despise life and death on the one hand, but they also value life and death on the other... What they despise is the life and death of the enemy.

You start when you start, because if you hesitate for a moment, you and your brothers may suffer big losses; what matters is you and your brothers, and even the innocent life and death... Compared to the battlefield, isn't it just about being ruthless to the enemy?

, do you treat your own robe like a brother?"

Zhang Xing burst out laughing. It turned out that things were so simple. He was really hit in the face by things one after another and lost control. For example, even if they all died, even though he believed in the principle of attacking first, he was right.

He came looking for his opponent, but he died so easily, so why not let him cherish his life more?

I did not let go of the killing habit and go looking for practitioners to kill just because I gained more experience. On the one hand, I was on guard against the possible backlash of this mechanism. On the other hand, I feared that I also cherished the lives of ordinary people.

It's just that I always boasted that I had seen life and death before, so I didn't think about it here.

On the other side, Fangzhu Liu saw that the other party was laughing, and knowing that he had understood, he also took advantage of the situation and pulled his hand away, but he smiled and asked something else: "But why do you want to ask me about this kind of thing? You should ask your family

Flag Master Feng is the right one, right?"

Zhang Xing laughed again: "Brother, I'm just kidding... I've seen calluses on your hands since the first day I came here. Don't tell me that you weren't a vanguard like me back then... Mr. Feng Qi doesn't have calluses like you."

."

Master Liu was startled for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he recognized this statement.

"Leave the ladder inside the wall. I'll go out to do some errands at night." Since Zhang Xing was enlightened, he simply put aside those entanglements and decided to find a clear idea. "Brother, let's go and have a rest."

Master Liu nodded and did as he was told, and then they both returned to their rooms.

Not to mention Brother Liu, he only said that Zhang Xing entered his side hospital and did not change his clothes. He just sat cross-legged and meditated. He followed the method he had "revealed" from Qin Bao before, using the infuriating energy collected during the day.

I continued trying to pulse pulse. It was about until the double moon was high in the sky and there was no movement outside, so I stopped. Then I went back to the house to get the compass, and climbed the ladder directly out.

It was early summer, the stars were half-covered, and the two moons hung half high, reflecting each other in the distance.

On the nearby streets, perhaps because of what happened during the day, there were a little more Jinwu guards. Zhang Xing hid for a long time before waiting for the opportunity. Then he still came to the intersection of Si Fang, holding a compass,

He recited the phrase "The Supreme Lord is as anxious as the law".

After the spell was cast, the compass lived up to expectations and bounced up. After shaking in several directions, it finally stabilized in the northeast direction.

Zhang Xing was slightly startled... You must know that his thoughts were very clear at this time. He just wanted to know the specific circumstances of Xiao Zhao's death so that he could understand his thoughts.

In this case, it would be no problem for the pointer to point to the location of Deputy Gang Leader Shen, to the crime scene, to Xiao Zhao's home where the funeral was being held, and to any member of the Qingyu Gang who was present at the time.

It's no problem even if you move around.

But the needle happens to be pointing to the northeast?

What's there?

No matter what, the golden compass was basically correct in its superficial logic. Zhang Xing held the compass in doubt and walked towards the north. However, after walking only half a square, he suddenly stopped.

Without him, Zhang Xing had already realized that he was on his way to Jingshanfang Water Street, and to Feng Zongqi's wine shop. He had only been there for half a month, and he had already passed by it many times.

At this thought, Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment. He took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust his thoughts in his mind. Three or four thoughts flashed through his mind. After finally finding the most suitable new thought, he picked up the compass and read word by word.

, recited the mantra carefully:

"The Supreme Lord is as urgent as the law!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pointer swayed slightly at first, and then pointed firmly and steadily in the original direction, as if nothing had happened.

However, in the night breeze, Zhang Xing, who had verified some of his sudden ideas, was already covered in sweat.

Because this time, he clearly refreshed his thoughts. Before reciting the incantation again, he revised his thoughts successively: Did Xiao Zhao really die accidentally? If it was not an accident, who was the real culprit who killed Xiao Zhao?

Who? Could it be that he is also at the Water Street Liquor?

So, where is the real culprit who killed Xiao Zhao?

Luo Pan told him that it was still in the northeast, at the Water Street Restaurant.

This is very abrupt, but somehow it seems very reasonable...because in this case, everything is right.

ps: Thanks to classmate Li kkkk and classmate Shi Yixuan for their cuteness. These are the 34th and 35th cuteness in this book. The former is an old book friend, and the latter is a new face, or is he a trumpet?
