A knife in love

Chapter 860

Li Qiufeng and Monk Xuanji already knew it well, so they were not surprised when they heard what Miao Zhu said.Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Which adults in the yamen have arrived?"

Miao Zhu said in a trembling voice: "Catcher Yin, Master Feng, and several other chiefs have arrived. They called the villain early in the morning for questioning, and the villain almost fainted from fright. Are you sure about that? See, those people died so badly. If it turns into a ghost and makes troubles outside our Chenghuang Temple, then it’s okay?! Grandma Chenghuang bless you, let these souls rise to bliss early, reincarnate as human beings, and don’t stay with us Harm people outside the Chenghuang Temple. Amitabha."

Li Qiufeng listened to the temple wishes and prayed indiscriminately. He felt amused, and said, "It's a coincidence. This master is powerful in mana and good at catching ghosts and subduing demons. With him here, you don't have to be afraid. Wait for him to recite a section of the Diamond Sutra for you." , naturally those dead souls can be rescued to go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss."

Miao Zhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Monk Xuanji repeatedly.Monk Xuanji knew that Li Qiufeng was afraid that Miao Zhu would doubt him, so he found an excuse to dispel Miao Zhu's doubts.So he didn't tell the truth, he only said that he would definitely chant scriptures to save the souls of the dead, so don't be afraid if you want to pray.

Seeing that Miao Zhu was not as panicked as before, Li Qiufeng asked, "Did Mr. Yu Fan and Yu not come?"

Miao Zhu shook his head and said, "Master Yu hasn't arrived yet. However, so many people have died, it stands to reason that he should be there in person. Although Mr. Yu has only been in office for more than a month, he must do everything personally and be fair. Our Xiuwu County The common people all say that he is a good official. The villain also admires Uncle Li when he hears that Uncle Li is a friend of Lord Yu. "

Li Qiufeng originally had a lot of respect for Fan, but after these two days, he realized that although he appeared to be indifferent to fame and fortune, he was actually a person who was enthusiastic about his official career, so he had developed a bad feeling towards Fan.He thought to himself, the treacherous and evil people in the world are the best at deceiving people.If Yu Fan is like this, why not Huang Chong?I heard that this person is honest and upright, and he is a rare good official.But yesterday I overheard the conversation between Huang Chong and Hu Kun, only then did I know that this person is very scheming and he is a very difficult person to deal with.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's heart suddenly trembled, but he remembered something.He had heard from Yin Butou and others that Huang Chong was highly respected by the people of Xiuwu County, so the officials wanted to promote him several times, but the people of Xiuwu County didn't want him to leave, so they sent the three elders to the Yamen of the prefect of Luoyang and the governor of Henan. The yamen asked for orders, and Huang Chong stayed in Xiuwu County.However, according to what I eavesdropped on Huang Chong, Han Qusi, Ji Dingzhong and others last night, Huang Chong's stay in Xiuwu County was the idea of ​​Ji Dingzhong and others, not his own.Moreover, Zhang Baixing even ridiculed Huang Chong with this incident, pointing out that the discord between Huang Chong and Ji Dingzhong and others was because everyone blocked his way to promotion and forced him to submit to Xiuwu County, so he could only be a small magistrate.But why Ji Dingzhong and others let Huang Chong stay in Xiuwu County, this matter is very strange.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the courtyard.Miao Zhu's complexion changed, and he said to Li Qiufeng and Monk Xuanji: "Uncle Li and master wait a moment, the villain is going to see who is coming."

After Miao Zhu finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.It's just that he was still a few steps away from the door, and the sound of someone's footsteps had already reached the door.Immediately afterwards, someone said respectfully: "Is Hero Li here? Yin Ruyan and Feng Zizai are here to pay their respects to Hero Li."

Li Qiufeng and Monk Xuanji have profound internal skills, and the person who came was still a few feet away, and he could already hear that two people entered the courtyard.At this time, Li Qiufeng felt relieved after hearing the other party's self-reported family name.When Miao Zhu heard that Catcher Yin and Master Feng had arrived, he hurriedly opened the door, only to see Catcher Yin and Master Feng standing outside the door one after the other.Miao Zhu was full of joy, nodded and bowed and said: "The villain has seen Yin Butou, Master Feng."

Catcher Yin ignored him, and directly cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng, and said, "Hero Li, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, we are in trouble, and we hope that Hero Li will not hesitate to help..."

When he said this, he suddenly found that Monk Xuanji was also in the room, and he was both surprised and happy.What surprised me was that I just came to ask Li Qiufeng for help, but I didn't expect that there was another person in the room.The joy is that Monk Xuanji has strong martial arts skills. He suddenly appeared in Xiuwu County, but he has another strong support, so he has more confidence in doing things.So he tremblingly said: "Unexpectedly, the master has also arrived. This, this is really great."

Li Qiufeng said: "Catcher Yin, Master Feng, please come in and talk."

Catcher Yin agreed, and then walked into the room with Master Feng one after the other.The temple wisher was also sensible, and went out quietly, closing the door behind him.

After the four of them sat down, Catcher Yin was about to speak, but Li Qiufeng said first, "Captor Yin, you and Master Feng came to find Li because of the seven corpses outside the temple."

Yin Butou and Master Feng turned pale in shock, they couldn't help but glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Qiufeng together, feeling uncertain in their hearts.Li Qiufeng said: "Those seven people were killed by Li."

As soon as Li Qiufeng said this, Yin Butou and Master Feng stood up in fright.Master Feng had a wide robe with big sleeves. When he stood up, he was trembling. His sleeves brushed against the table inadvertently, knocking over an empty teacup.The teacup rolled over on the table and fell straight under the table.When Yin Butou and Master Feng heard that Li Qiufeng had killed someone, they were shocked and at a loss as they watched the cup fall straight to the ground.Monk Xuanji flicked his sleeve, and rolled the cup into the sleeve in a flash.I saw him retracting his sleeves and brushing lightly across the table.By the time his big sleeve was retracted, the cup had been firmly put back in place.

Monk Xuanji smiled slightly and said: "The poor monk also has a part in the murder."

When Yin Butou and Master Feng saw Monk Xuanji showing off his martial arts, they were surprised and admired.It's just that when Monk Xuanji said this, the two of them trembled, and their expressions became even uglier.

Li Qiufeng said: "Please sit down, both of you, and let's discuss this matter after Mr. Li tells the two of you in detail."

Yin Butou and Master Feng sat down firmly, and then Li Qiufeng told the story of the attack after leaving Liu's old house last night.It's just that he didn't talk about his night visits to the county government later.He said to Yin and Feng: "After Li killed someone, he went to the Yamen to report the case. But on the way, he met a group of people with swords in their hands. They stopped Li and asked Li where he was going. Li said he was going to the county government to report the case. , when these people heard that Li was going to the Yamen, they swung their swords and rushed up. Li didn't want to hurt the innocent, so he had to escape and return to the Temple of the City God. After discussing with Master Xuanji, Li planned to wait in the temple , After dawn, go to the yamen to report to the officials. Unexpectedly, the two of you came so fast, and even rushed ahead of us."

After listening to Li Qiufeng's words, Yin Butou and Master Feng breathed a sigh of relief.Yin Butou said: "Hero Li doesn't know something. There was a big incident in the city last night. The commander of Ruyang Guard sent Hu Kun and Mr. Hu's son to be killed in the city. Mr. Hu got angry and even led his troops to break through the city gate. The county magistrate's office. Mr. Hu molested Miss Huang the day before yesterday, so Mr. Hu suspected that Mr. Huang sent someone to kill Mr. Hu, so he led troops to surround the county office and asked Mr. Huang to hand over the murderer. Fortunately, Mr. Han came forward to mediate Only then did Mr. Hu retreat out of the city. These adults were worried that someone would cause trouble in the city, so they assigned people to guard near the county government. The two sects of Luoyang Shijiadao and Leiquanmen were brought to Xiuwu County by Mr. Han, and they have always obeyed. Mr. Han's order. Therefore, Mr. Han asked the disciples of these two sects to guard outside the magistrate's yamen. Presumably these people didn't know the origin of Hero Li, so they stepped forward and besieged him. If we are the policemen of Xiuwu County's yamen, most of them would know Hero Li, absolutely dare not make a move against Hero Li."

Li Qiufeng said: "The two came just in time, and Li is about to inform Master Huang and Master Yu of this matter. This matter is of great importance, and there must be no delay."

Although Yin Butou and Feng Shiye are only small officials the size of sesame seeds and mung beans, after all, they have been together for decades in a place where dragons and snakes mix like magistrate's yamen, so they can be said to be the best of the best.When the two first heard Li Qiufeng confess to murder, they secretly cried out "no".In the minds of the two of them, they had already decided that Li Qiufeng was the Jin Yiwei who was ordered to run a business, and they knew that they could never afford to offend them.If the seven people outside the temple were really killed by Li Qiufeng, the case would not be investigated further.It's just that killing seven people at once is a shocking and serious case, and the county magistrate must solve the case within a time limit.The two are caught in the middle, and the matter is extremely difficult to deal with.At this time, hearing that Li Qiufeng was going to meet the county magistrate and the county magistrate, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to themselves: "It's best for you to say it yourself, so as not to embarrass us."
