Under the red light, Wu Xu looked particularly ferocious.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
The two men did not dare to speak. Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you don't speak again, I will kill you."
After waiting for a moment, Wu Xu said: "I didn't speak."
Xu Zhiqiong touched the mechanism on the lantern pole, and a short knife popped out.
The lantern transformed from a handkerchief is also equipped with a mechanism. Wu Xu has cultivated the Mo family, right?
Xu Zhiqiong swung his short knife and chopped off one of the hands of the man at his feet. The man screamed and shouted: "The villain's name is Wang Zhi!"
Another man shouted: "The villain's name is Geng Wu."
"What do you want to do with this girl late at night?"
Geng Wu said: "The villain was drunk and saw that this girl was pretty, so he came up to talk to her. I have never touched this girl."
Wang Zhidao: "I just hugged her and touched her twice, but didn't do anything."
The girl took a breath and cried: "They lied, they beat me, strangled me, and even sold me!"
Wu Xu smiled and said, "Are you Renyazi?"
"We are not human beings!" Wang Zhi shouted, "Who are you? Why do you chop off my hand? Let's go see the official! Let's go see the official!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "You have already seen it! We are the officials!"
Wu Xu smiled and said: "Commander Zhong wanted to arrest someone, but you think it was such a coincidence that I met him. I took them to an open place to talk. Don't say that we wronged him!"
After saying this, Wu Xu carried Geng Wu and walked out of the alley.
Xu Zhiqiong asked Wang Zhi to get up and walk. Wang Zhi got up and ran. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and stabbed one of his legs.
"This leg is too much for you. How about I chop it off?"
"No, no, grandpa, leave me this leg!"
Xu Zhiqiong touched Wang Zhi's head: "How about I chop this head off?"
He liked this head so much, the horns on it were three inches too long.
"No, grandpa, I'm going, I'm going!"
Wang Zhi followed Xu Zhiqiong limping to the entrance of the alley. Wu Xu threw Geng Wu on the ground. Xu Zhiqiong pierced Wang Zhi's knee and Wang Zhi also lay on the ground.
Pedestrians passing by gathered together, and Wu Xu said to the girl, "Say what you just said again."
The girl was frightened: "Tell me, what are you talking about?"
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How did they treat you?"
The girl trembled and said: "He, they, they beat me, strangled me, and sold me!"
The onlookers exclaimed: "This is Ren Yazi!"
"It's wrong! It's wrong!" Geng Wu shouted, "Sir, we are not human beings. We are just drunk and fooling around, and we will be beaten when we see the official!"
Wu Xu laughed and said, "You think it's nonsense to beat a girl like that?"
Geng Wu cried: "I know I was wrong, sir. Please spare me once, and I will let you beat me."
Wu Xu said: "Let me ask you, who are you going to sell this girl to?"
"We're not selling it, we're just talking nonsense."
Wu Xu stepped forward and crushed one of Geng Wu's hands: "Let me ask you again, who should I sell it to?"
Geng Wu couldn't help the pain and opened his mouth and shouted: "Sold to Lanpu County, eighty miles outside the city, to an old man named Wei Laoer. He has never married a wife in his life and is willing to give us fifteen taels of silver."
Wu Xu stepped forward and crushed one of Geng Wu's hands: "Just fifteen taels?"
"Master, it's only fifteen taels. I plead guilty. I will go to the government with you. Master, please spare my life!"
Onlookers cursed:
"These beasts deserve to be killed!"
"How many women have been kidnapped by them these days?"
Wang Zhi shouted: "Master, this is our first time. We have never done this kind of thing before. My mother is seriously ill at home and she is anxiously waiting for money to get medicine. Master, please spare me this time. Please spare me."
!”
You really know how to talk nonsense. The horns on the heads of these two people are more than three inches. How can they be first-time offenders?
These are two habitual criminals who have ruined countless good women.
What they said about Wei Laoer was not true. They were talking nonsense about Hu Chai just to delay time and try to drag him to the government.
These old people Yazi all have connections in the government, so spending more money might save their lives.
Wu Xu didn't say anything. He took Geng Wu's arm, rolled up his sleeves and looked at it. He then took Wang Zhi's arm and looked at it too.
Xu Zhiqiong knew what he was looking at. He wanted to see if there were any scars on the arms of these two people.
Wu Xu was a little disappointed when he didn't see any scars. He turned around and said to everyone: "According to the laws of the Great Xuan Dynasty, kidnapping a woman on the street is a capital crime. Today, the Deng Deng Yamen has found out the case and the two of them will be executed immediately!"
Wang Zhi shouted: "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you do so casually..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiqiong grabbed his hair and wiped his face with a knife. After the man was completely dead, he pulled off the horns.
I have eaten forty-six meritorious deeds before, but I still have fifty-four left to reach the ninth level.
There is one of Fan Baocai's horns in his arms, barely enough to hold twenty.
Wang Zhi's horns are over three inches. If you are lucky, you will be able to accumulate enough merits this time!
It would be nice if Geng Wu could be killed, but Geng Wu was at Wu Xu's feet, and it looked like Wu Xu was going to crush him to death.
Wu Xu raised his foot but did not step on it.
He looked at Xu Zhiqiong and motioned for him to take action.
Geng Wu shouted: "Grandpa, I still have a nursing child at home, please spare my life!"
"You know how to cherish your own children, but that girl is not your father's and mother's darling?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, wiped Geng Wu's neck, and took away his sinful karma.
These two sins add up to more than sixty points, which is the ninth level...
It's strange, why did it go so smoothly?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Wu Xu.
Wu Xu looked at the corpse and said: "Leave these two thieves here and expose their corpses here!"
After saying that, Wu Xu left.
Xu Zhiqiong was lighting the lights in the back, serving Qianhu and showing off.
Before he had taken two steps, the girl suddenly caught up with him and shouted, "My benefactor, stay back!"
Xu Zhiqiong and Wu Xu turned around, sat down with the girl and knelt on the ground and said: "The two benefactors must be the lantern holders!"
Xu Zhiqiong stretched out his hand to Wu Xu and said loudly: "This is Wu Qianhu, our office in charge of the lamp! The teeth of these two people were judged by Wu Qianhu!"
Wu Xu reached out to Xu Zhiqiong and said loudly: "This is Xu Zhiqiong of our Lantern Yamen! "Drunken Spring Breeze" was written by Xu Zhiqiong!"
After saying that, the two turned around and left. The girl sitting next to them kept kowtowing to their backs: "My name is Cai Shisan, and she kowtows to my two benefactors."
Cai Shisan, the name comes from...
It can't be said that it's unpleasant. Children from poor families are so casually named. This girl must have been born on the 13th of a certain month.
The onlookers stared at the corpse for a long time, and suddenly heard a cry: "Okay! Well done!"
When he shouted, all the onlookers cheered.
"Okay! This is Wu Qianhu, he looks like a hero!"
"That Xu Denglang is also a hero! He killed a tiger in the Zhou family!"
"Okay, all the people in charge of the office are heroes! Okay!"
…
"Okay! Okay!" Zhong Shen laughed loudly, "Well done Bo Feng! This makes me, the Imperial City Secretary, more prestigious!"
Zhong Shen turned to Shi Xun and Jiang Feili and said: "You two should learn from me and kill people when you see them. I don't believe you can't kill this evil! Bo Feng, you did what I wanted.
Reward!"
Wu Xu stretched out his hand and said, "How much is the reward?"
Zhong Shen curled his lips and said, "It's not vulgar to say reward money. I have already written a memorial and recommend you to be the envoy of the Imperial City!"
As the imperial envoy to the town, Wu Xu is about to be promoted to the fourth rank.
Shi Xun cast an envious look, but Jiang Feili felt a little worried.
This was not the first time that Zhong Shen wanted to promote Wu Xu, but Wu Xu rejected him every time.
Being promoted means that Wu Xu will no longer be in charge of the Deng Yamen and will no longer cause trouble for Zhong Shen.
As expected, Wu Xu refused again: "I am a layman. I don't want an official position, I just want money."
Zhong Shen frowned and said, "If you are promoted to governor, do you know how much salary you get per year?"
Wu Xu crossed his arms and said, "If you don't give me the money, I won't leave."
Zhong Shen's face was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Look at your face!"
…
Liang Yuming was reading in the study when a chamberlain came in: "Your Majesty, Wu Xu killed two people in the street."
This waiter is none other than Hao Quan, the waiter at Wu Anfu's wine shop.
Liang Yuming frowned and said, "Is he one of ours?"
Hao Quan shook his head: "They are not our people. These two are just human beings who took money to do things for us."
"What did you say before you died?"
"I didn't say anything, and Wu Xu didn't want him to say anything. He didn't take them back to the Yamen, didn't do much interrogation, and just killed the two of them."
Liang Yuming smiled: "This is the order Zhong Shen gave him. Wu Xu finally gave in to the stone. Have you found the lantern holder in the wine shop?"
"Found him, his name is Xu Zhiqiong, and he was with Wu Xu last night."
"Xu Zhiqiong," Liang Yuming nodded, "It's this person again."
"He is by Wu Xu's side every day, so we can't do anything."
Liang Yuming put down his hand and sighed: "Let him live for a few more days. It's rare for Wu Xu to stop, so why bother to anger him again?"
Hao Quan said again: "Zhang Deng Yamen killed these two people, Yazi, and frightened many people. Now no one, Yazi, is willing to do anything for us."
"Then don't ask them to do anything anymore," Liang Yuming said. "These gangsters are unreliable. Let us do the rest ourselves."
While talking, Liang Yuming had a pimple on his face.
The pimple slid down the side of my cheek.
…
Xu Zhiqiong was scratching his head in the small room, he really couldn't stay any longer.
If Wu Xu was not allowed to go home, he would not be able to go to the Evil Punishment Department. If he could not go to the Evil Punishment Department, he would not be able to exchange for merit, and if he could not exchange for merit, he would not be promoted.
Why not take the risk?
No, if someone comes to the hut and finds that I am not there, they will help me.
While he was struggling, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door: "Zhiqiong, Qianhu asked you to go to Mingdengxuan."
It's Xiao Songting.
Xu Zhiqiong has experience. When encountering big problems, Qu Jinshan will definitely come to him. When encountering small problems, Xiao Songting will come to him.
When they arrived at Zhangdeng Yamen, Wu Xu was reading the "Almanac".
Why do you read "Almanac"? Do you want to change your career to fortune telling?
Wu Xu was engrossed in reading and put the book down after a long time: "You have worked hard these days."
Xu Zhiqiong sniffed: "It's not really painful, it's just a bit boring."
"I'll give you two days off. Go back and have some rest."
Xu Zhiqiong was overjoyed, but then felt strange.
He gave me leave, but he wasn't afraid that Liang Yuming would send someone to kill me?
Wu Xu took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong. He weighed it roughly and found that it was almost thirty taels.
"Take the flowers. Don't go too far away. Qi Xin'an is still waiting for you in the hook."
