There was a crisp sound, and two people reacted differently.
"Bang!"
Gu An seemed to have no feeling and continued to look at the sacks on the ground.
He soon saw the situation inside and frowned slightly: "It's still wrapped in brown paper, no wonder no blood spilled.
You should have killed this person not long after you practiced "Blood Drawing Technique", right?
In the cave before, I said that seeing how the blood looked so pale, I was probably afraid that killing too many people would cause big trouble."
Gu An stood up, turned around, and looked at Qi Liang, who was stunned.
Hearing what Gu An said, Qi Liang knew that Gu An might have suspected him a long time ago and was just waiting for him to reveal his flaws.
But he had to take action tonight, otherwise when he gathered his men tomorrow morning, Gu An discovered that there was one missing person in his house, and he might immediately search for him in his house.
If we find his room, it will be over.
Of course no one would dare to search his room normally, but Gu An was here, let alone his room. If Gu An ordered the room to be torn down, his servants might be able to do it.
"How...how is it possible? How can you be fine?"
Looking at Gu An who was taking a step closer, Qi Liang staggered back two steps, but was still within Gu An's control.
"Crack!"
Gu An patted Qi Liang's shoulder with one hand and raised the corner of his mouth: "Firstly, it's because you're not strong enough. Secondly, it's because your technique is wrong. I'll teach you."
After saying that, Gu An clamped Qi Liang's hand with one hand, ignoring Qi Liang's attack on him. His right palm turned into a knife, tearing the air, and slashed at the back of Qi Liang's neck.
"bump!"
Qi Liang fainted and died on the spot.
Lifting Qi Liang with one hand and the sack with the other, Gu An walked towards Qi Liang's yard.
…
It's five o'clock in the morning, in the center of Shikou Town.
Gu An was wearing the clothes given by Qi Liang, with his hands behind his back, standing under a banner in the center of the town, with a sack next to him.
What hangs on the flag is Qi Liang whose cultivation has been crippled and whose hands and feet are tied.
Around the outside were the servants who were called up by Gu An.
Qi Liang's son Qi Zheng was standing next to Gu An with his body trembling.
It was autumn, and it was early morning, and there was a breeze blowing from time to time, making the weather very cool.
But Qi Zheng wiped his sweat with his sleeves from time to time.
When Gu An came in the evening, he didn't know about it.
I was woken up by my servant just now, and when I saw that it was clearly not yet midnight, I wanted to lose my temper.
But before he had time, he heard a long string of words from the servant again, and he was stunned on the spot.
The translation is roughly like this:
Your father killed someone...
Your father got mixed up with the Blood God Cult...
Your father was arrested by Gu An and Gu Xiaoqi from Dongling County's Zhenxie Division. He will interrogate your father in front of the townspeople at midnight...
It took a long time for Qi Zheng to react, and he immediately wanted to curse, but before he could curse, he saw a bald head not far from the door of his room, punching a huge hole with his fist, and he was instantly frightened...
That's why this scene happened now.
There are no entertainment activities in their world, so they go to bed early at night.
So at this time, many townspeople had already gotten up. Seeing the battle in the center of the town, they all wanted to come over.
"How could this happen? Who is hanging above?"
"Looks...a bit like the mayor?"
"Mayor?"
"Hey, that's right! Why did they arrest the mayor?"
"Who is the bald man next to Qi Zheng? Why does Qi Zheng feel like his body is shaking all the time."
"..."
Seeing the townspeople coming around one after another, and hearing what they were talking about, Qi Zheng also had a bitter look on his face. He glanced at Gu An secretly, gritted his teeth, moved to Gu An's side, and whispered.
"Gu Xiaoqi, I really don't know about my father's collusion with the Blood God Sect. I'm just... a scholar! In a few days, I'm planning to go to Ping'an County to take the county examination."
Gu An said calmly: "I know that if you knew about it, you would not be standing next to me now, but hanging on it."
The first time he saw Qi Zheng at the door of Qi Zheng's house, Gu An knew that there was no way he could know what Qi Liang had done.
Qi Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you so much Gu Xiaoqi, Gu Xiaoqi really knows right from wrong, really understands justice, really..."
"Stop it."
Before Qi Zheng could finish speaking, Gu An directly reached out and interrupted him, even though he knew what he would say next.
This way, there is basically no chance of taking the county examination... Gu An looked at Qi Liang above him, then at Qi Zheng, and shook his head secretly.
Looking around, at this time, nearly a hundred townspeople were already surrounding the venue.
Gu An felt that it was almost done. He had to go back after finishing the matter here, and was about to say something.
An old man squeezed through the crowd and walked towards Gu An.
Before he even got close, he was stopped by Qi Liang's servants.
Gu An asked Xiang Qizheng: "Who is he?"
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Cheng Yi, the deputy mayor of our town."
Gu An suddenly realized and stepped forward and ordered: "Let him come over."
"yes."
Cheng Yi quickly came to Gu An, bowed and said, "I have met Gu Xiaoqi."
"Gu Xiaoqi?"
"Is that Gu Xiaoqi from the Hundred Household Office of the Evil Division of Dongling County?"
"This year's Youzhou champion?"
"No wonder I felt familiar when I saw something like this just now."
"..."
Hearing Cheng Yi's name, the townspeople immediately exploded.
Some townspeople were actually suspicious just now, but they didn't dare to admit it. After all, they heard that Gu An was still on his way to Ping'an County for disaster relief, so how could he appear here.
"You know me?" Gu An smiled.
"Gu Xiaoqi's name has spread throughout Youzhou, so of course we know it." Cheng Yi said with a smile on his face.
Seeing this situation and Gu An's iconic bald head, he knew Qi Zheng's habits and immediately recognized Gu An's identity.
Gu An nodded: "You came just in time. Let everyone be quiet. I have something to say."
"Okay, okay." Cheng Yi turned to face the townspeople: "Everyone, please be quiet. Gu Xiaoqi has something to say."
Perhaps because of Gu An's presence, Cheng Yi found that what he said this time was so effective, and the place quickly became quiet.
"Gu Xiaoqi, it's ready."
Gu An nodded and looked around: "Now that everyone knows my identity, I won't introduce myself and will talk directly.
This time, the purpose of my coming here is actually to eradicate a stronghold of the Blood God Cult.
During the eradication process, I learned something. There was someone in Shikou Town who was colluding with the Blood God Sect.
This person is your mayor, Qi Liang!"
As soon as these words came out, the place became excited again.
The townspeople were talking a lot about this matter.
Gu An raised the sack: "Women and children all turn their heads away, even the timid ones."
Soon, most of the townspeople followed Gu An's instructions.
When Gu An opened the sack and everyone saw what was inside.
"What's inside?"
"yes!"
"vomit!"
The sound of retching suddenly sounded in the field.
Qi Zheng, who was closest to Gu An, vomited it out.
Gu An walked around the banner, glanced at one of the townspeople inadvertently, and said loudly.
