"Look, why is there someone lying on the horse next to him?"
"I don't know why that man is motionless? Also, look at his head!"
"Hey, don't you see the three things hanging over there?"
"I saw it...could it be?"
The soldiers surrounding the wall had vague guesses in their hearts...
After a long period of running around, Wang Jin's body no longer dripped blood. With his face facing down, the soldiers on the tower could only see the dark raincoat.
"Give me a moment and go back to your place!"
The defenders pushed through the soldiers crowding in front and looked down.
Gu An stared ahead, waiting quietly for the city gate to open, when he suddenly heard a shout from above.
"I am the guard of the East City Gate, Zheng Yuan; the one below is Brother Gu Angu from the Evil Suppression Department?"
Gu Anxun looked up and frowned slightly. This guard looked to be in his forties.
"It's me."
Zheng Yuan heard the sound and stayed on Gu An's head for only a moment, then glanced at the three bundles hanging beside the horse calmly.
I really did it... Then he looked happy and said: "It seems that Brother Gu has returned victorious. Don't worry, I will ask the people below to open the door for you!"
Gu An raised his head and glanced at the sky: "It shouldn't be midnight yet, right?"
"Brother Gu, you can only judge the approximate time outside. In fact, it was already midnight just now! I was about to ask them to open the door, but you just happened to be back."
The soldiers behind Zheng Yuan couldn't help but look at each other. It's not midnight yet, right?
Gu An pondered for a moment, then immediately clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, Zheng Shou."
"Hey, it's okay, the city gate has to be opened anyway."
With that said, Zheng Yuan walked to the wall above the inner city gate and ordered the guards below to open the city gate; at the same time, he ran back outside to look at Gu An.
"It'll open soon!"
"Ka~ka!"
The heavy city gate made of fine iron slowly opened.
Gu An once again cupped his fist towards Zheng Yuanyi above him: "Thank you very much."
Immediately afterwards, he drove two fast horses into Ping'an County.
Next to the city gate below, a sharp-eyed guard looked at the horse with Wang Jin's body beside Gu An, his pupils widened, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief that were a little confused because he had just woken up.
But Gu An was too fast. In the process of rubbing his eyes, Gu An had disappeared at the end of the street.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The guard next to him saw this and asked questions.
"Just now, the man lying on the horse looked familiar, like... the housekeeper of Xia Mansion?"
"Steward of the Xia Mansion? It's impossible. During the previous assessment, Gu An even disabled Mr. Xia's arms. How could they..."
Having said this, the guard had an idea in his mind and slowly turned his head to look.
The two looked at each other, then quickly separated, staring ahead, as if nothing had happened.
On the tower, Zheng Yuan looked at Gu An who was walking away with a serious expression.
Although he was far away from the man who was lying down just now, he didn't know who he was; but he guessed that the man was already dead.
The next days in Ping'an County may not be so peaceful.
After stopping and watching for a while, Zheng Yuan walked into the pavilion and told the first soldier to enter: "Find a craftsman to come over at noon and set the time back."
"yes."
…
When Gu An entered the city, he did not choose to go to Xia Mansion first, but went straight back to the county government office.
When Gu An approached the county government office, his expression changed slightly.
Yuan Shan, dressed in white, was pacing back and forth at the door. Hearing hissing in the distance, Yuan Shan looked at the end of the street.
Seeing Gu An coming back, he quickly walked down the steps.
Wait for Gu An to arrive at the gate of the county government office.
"I estimate the time. If you complete the task, you should be back, so I will wait for you outside."
Gu An got off his horse and said, "Sir, have you been waiting for me all night?"
"It's nothing. I can't go into the city at night. It's not that I don't know; I just came out not long ago. What's your head?"
During the conversation, Yuan Shan had already looked Gu An up and down. Except for a broken sleeve and a bald head, he didn't appear to be hurt in any way.
"I found it troublesome during the battle, so I just shaved it off."
Yuan Shan just nodded without saying anything. He glanced at the three bags in Gu An's hand and knew that they probably contained the heads of the three bandits of the Peng family.
Although before setting off, he knew that Gu An would definitely succeed, but now that he saw Gu An coming back with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He set his sights on another horse and stepped forward to check it out.
"Wang Jin, the steward of Xia Mansion!"
Yuan Shan's face instantly turned gloomy.
"It's okay. Please take care of Wang Jin's horse first. I will 'return' it to the Xia family in a while..."
Gu An's lips curled up slightly and he smiled evilly.
Yuan Shan breathed out: "Go in. In order not to hinder the people's reporting of crimes and the normal operation of the county government, I discussed with the county magistrate and set up the mourning hall in the back hall of the patrol room."
Gu An nodded, lifted Wang Jin's body and walked towards the backyard.
Soon we arrived at the back hall of the patrol room.
Along the way, the other detachments on the road, the detectives who had to get up early to be on duty, saw Gu An, and when they saw Gu An carrying it with his hands, they all looked at Gu An in awe.
As for his bald head, he selectively ignored it.
There are eight wooden coffins placed in the middle of the hall, and on the wooden table slightly in front are the tablets of Qin Li and others.
The family members and nephews of the three teams of police officers knelt on the ground and burned paper money for them.
Tang Li was also dressed in white and stood in the center of the mourning hall with the support of his son.
There were no cries, just low sobs; because I have been tired these days... I started getting ready at midnight last night.
"Crack!"
The sound of throwing Wang Jin on the ground outside the hall attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"Xiao An!"
"Brother An!"
"..."
Under the shouts of worry, joy and exhaustion from everyone, Gu An entered the hall carrying three bags.
I apologized to every uncle, aunt, and brother of the same generation, and mentioned the hair issue again.
Then he asked if the worship he was going to do next was okay.
After getting an affirmative answer, he walked to the table where the food was not yet placed.
Open the bag containing the demonized heads of the three bandits of the Peng family.
Qin Quan and other nephews saw the demonized head for the first time, and there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes, but more of it was sadness and hatred.
"Uncle Qin, Uncle Qian...the three murderers of the Peng family have now surrendered. I wish you a safe journey..."
Gu An read the names of the eight uncles one by one, telling how he had killed the three gangsters of the Peng family.
At the same time, I thought silently in my heart...the murderers hiding behind will soon make them pay the price they deserve...
…
Xia Mansion.
However, a moment later, an anxious Xia Jun was already lighting a red candle and looking through the exercises in his hand.
Since Wang Jin set out, he has never had a good night's sleep.
He thought again and again of what Gu An said to him during the assessment, and he felt that he might still not be able to succeed this time.
But every time this thought came up, he was quickly suppressed.
impossible!
Gu An's iron cloth shirt with golden bell cover is only one weight. It is possible to withstand the attacks of Peng Lao Er and Peng Lao San, but it is impossible to stop Peng Tianxiong!
Even though he fought hard to kill three of them!
Being attacked by Peng Tianxiong, his injuries were definitely serious!
Uncle Wang, who was rushing behind him, would definitely be able to kill the injured Gu An with his strength at the second level of Condensation Pill!
Yes, that's it, Gu An will die this time!
I took a few deep breaths, suppressed this thought again, and repeatedly told myself not to think too much.
The technique of putting your mind back into your hands.
"Domineering sword technique, condensing invincible scornful power in the heart, swiping..."
