Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 736
Fang Jianming said in a deep voice: "I will never show mercy this time, let them live in this world for a day, and I don't know how many innocent people will die at their hands."

Zhang Sandao: "Brother Fang, although my martial arts is not high, but I..."

Fang Jianming didn't wait for him to finish, and cut off: "Brother Zhang, you still have important things to do, so let me handle this small matter alone."

Zhang San pondered: "Since this is the case, I will not force it anymore. After all, compared to the Wacha army, people like Mao Chengkun are just poisonous snakes, not tigers."

It was inappropriate to move during the day, so Fang Jianming had to wait until dark. During the waiting period, Zhang San arranged for the two to live in the backyard and sent someone to monitor Mao Chengkun's movements.Taking advantage of this free time, Fang Jianming taught Wen Mufeng another half-day of kung fu.

As night fell and thousands of houses were lit up, Fang Jianming disguised himself as an ordinary-looking swordsman, and under the guidance of Liu Wu, he came to the vicinity of the government office.The two did not walk together, Liu Wu was in front and he was behind. The distance between the two was three to four feet. Although it was night, there were many pedestrians on the street.

Liu Wu went to a restaurant, while Fang Jianming went around the back wall of the government office, and disappeared after a while.

Although he didn't know what was going on in the yamen, he caught a boy at random and found out where the lord of the government office was now. The shadow usually appears in the study of the lord of the government office.

Mr. Fuya is sitting on an armchair in the study room, his eyes are slightly closed, he doesn't know whether he is resting his mind or thinking about problems, he doesn't know when there is another person in the room, when he opened his eyes wide, he saw A stranger with a knife stood in front of him.

"you……"

He was shocked, and just about to yell, Fang Jianming interrupted him with a sneer, and said, "Master Wang, if you don't want to live, please be obedient and stop yelling."

These words had an invisible deterrent force, and the lord of the government office did not dare to scream, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you? How do you know that my surname is Wang?"

"Anyone who asks about it will know your Lord Wang's name. Lord Wang, I advise you not to play tricks with me. The two people outside are probably your bodyguards, and they have fallen asleep obediently."

Lord Wang has been an official for more than 20 years, and has seen a lot of worlds. He knows that this stranger in front of him is an "expert" in the martial arts. Welcome, please forgive me, knight."

As soon as Fang Jianming heard this, he knew that this "Lord Wang" was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are being polite. I think your lord is also a happy person, and when a happy person says happy things, I don't beat around the bush, Mao Cheng Kun's big gift, I wonder if Lord Wang has accepted it?"

Mr. Wang was startled, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body, he said: "The lower officials are confused, I don't know what the chivalrous words mean? Who is Mao Chengkun?"

Fang Jianming sneered, and said: "Master Wang, I don't understand the rules of your officialdom, but I know that corruption and perversion of the law can be seen everywhere. You are a sensible person. If you pretend to be confused with me, be careful that my sword has no eyes."

Mr. Wang wiped his sweat frequently, and said: "A chivalrous man has something to say, don't use a knife, if there is anything, everyone sit down and discuss it."

Fang Jianming said: "Master Wang, I will warn you again, if you continue to confuse me, my knife really won't have eyes."

These words frightened Mr. Wang so that he fell to his knees with a "plop", and said: "The chivalrous man spares his life, the chivalrous man spares his life, I just say what I want."

"Let me ask you, how many gifts did Mao Chengkun give you, and did you accept them? If I find out that what you said is adulterated, I won't give you a chance."

"The lower officials dare not. Yes, Mao Chengkun approached the lower officials and wanted to give the lower officials 50 taels of silver, but the lower officials dare not accept it."

"You didn't accept it immediately, which means that you still have a conscience and know the serious consequences of this matter. In the past few days, you must be thinking about whether you should accept this great gift?"

Darren Wang said: "The lower officials deserve to die, the lower officials deserve to die."

Fang Jianming shouted: "Get up."

Master Wang stood up tremblingly, his face was covered with beads of sweat, showing the panic in his heart.This is not to say that he is as timid as a mouse. The fact that Mao Chengkun came to have a secret talk with him was found out by outsiders. If the court finds out, let alone his failure to be an official, his head will have to move, and it will harm the whole family .It's the same virtue for other people.It was precisely because the matter was too important that he didn't immediately agree to Mao Chengkun. These days, he was indeed weighing things up, which made people a little nervous.It's not that he didn't know about the attack of the Wacha army. The court didn't pay enough attention to it, and sooner or later it would come up. Mao Chengkun is Wang Zhen's godson. death penalty.

How many officials are not doing it for money?Who would have trouble with silver?But to let him open the door and steal, it seems a bit risky to the world. Although Mao Chengkun has already thought out a way out for him, he is still afraid that something will go wrong.No, the problem has already occurred, and when people come to him, it is more important to save his life first.

At that moment, Master Wang wept bitterly, and stated his family's difficulties. There was an eighty-year-old mother, and a beautiful wife and young son. His voice was so eloquent, it was enough to make anyone who heard it cry.

Of course Fang Jianming would not believe his words, but he also knew that he was afraid of death. After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen holder from the table. Seeing that it was gold-plated and beautiful, he said with a smile: "My lord, Is this pen holder worth at least a thousand taels?"

Darren Wang said: "This is a gift from a local tyrant, if a chivalrous man likes it, feel free to take it."

Fang Jianming's expression darkened, and he asked, "Is Jixiang Village under your jurisdiction?"

Master Wang tremblingly said: "Yes."

Fang Jianming said angrily: "As a parent's official, you didn't hear anything about the massacre of Jixiang Village by horse thieves? How did you become an official?"

Master Wang was so frightened that he knelt down with a "plop", and said: "Jixiang Village is too far away from here, and the location is remote. I really don't know what happened."

Fang Jianming said: "You have three days to send someone to Jixiang Village to clean up. If you miss an hour, I will tell you to move your head."

Mr. Wang prostrated himself and said: "The next official will lead people there in person tomorrow morning."

Fang Jianming said: "Let me ask you, how much do you know about Jixiang Village?"

Darren Wang said: "The lower officials deserve to die, the lower officials are negligent in management, and their knowledge is limited."

Fang Jianming frowned and said, "Who knows more details?"

Darren Wang said: "Xu Mubin in the mansion knows the most details."

Fang Jianming thought for a while, went out and caught a guard from the outside, and slapped him away. The guard had been with Mr. Wang for several years, so he naturally knew that now was not the time to yell.

Lord Wang said to the guard: "Go and call Xu Mubin here, and just say that I have something important to see him. Remember, don't say anything about what happened just now."

The guard was about to turn around and go out, Fang Jianming patted him on the shoulder twice, and said: "Your lord and I are waiting for you, within half an hour, you are careful to be poisoned and die."

The guard was scared out of his wits and hurried away, he was not so confused as to make a joke of his own life.

It didn't take half an hour at all, just a cup of tea, the guard came with Xu Mubin, Fang Jianming patted the guard's shoulder twice, nodded his way, and dragged him out again.

Xu Mubin is over 50 years old, with a goatee on his chin. Seeing a swordsman in Dong Weng's study, he opened his mouth to speak, but Master Wang immediately stopped him with a wink. He watched Fang Jianming drag the guard out before realizing that Dong Weng Ong is stuck here.

"Xu Mubin, you have been with me for many years, how have I always treated you?" Daren Wang asked.

Xu Mubin said: "Dong Weng is very kind to Xu."

Daren Wang said: "Let me tell you the truth, this chivalrous man is very skilled in martial arts. I want to know the situation of Jixiang Village. Please tell him everything you know."

Xu Mubin has worked as an assistant for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. Although he is a little scared, he is much calmer than Mr. Wang. After thinking about it, he said: "I have worked here for more than 20 years. From Mr. Li to Mr. Wang, they are all my Dong Weng. It can be said that no one knows the situation of Jixiang Village better than me. I checked the information in the mansion. The name of this village originated from the Northern Song Dynasty. It is really not an auspicious village, but it is strange that every time this village is destroyed, within a few years, some people will move to live in the original site, which is quite intriguing. 16 years ago, a gang of horse thieves ran rampant At this point, the auspicious village will be destroyed..."

Fang Jianming's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Wait, when did you say 16 years ago? Be more specific."

Xu Mubin thought for a while, and said: "It was Mr. Li who was in office at that time, and Mr. Wang hadn't come yet. I remember that it was October 16 years ago. In the golden autumn season, the maple forest was like fire and the setting sun was like blood. We arrived at the auspicious When I was in the village, the horse thieves had long disappeared, and the field was horrible."

Fang Jianming's body trembled when he heard this, imagining that the tragic situation at that time must be the same as what happened not long ago.

Yes, this auspicious village is the auspicious village he was looking for. 16 years ago, in mid-October, it was Dafang who rescued him from the dead.

"Find out who did it?"

"It's... shame, this tragedy has not been solved until now."

"Could it be Mao Chenglong, a horse thief?"

The two were shocked when they heard this, and Xu Mubin tremblingly said: "Xu doesn't know." Judging by his appearance, he was very afraid of Mao Chenglong.

"Do you still have records of the people in the village at that time?" Fang Jianming calmed down and asked gently.

"It's a long time, and there are too many people who died, so Xu has no records."

Fang Jianming stood there for a while, not knowing what to think, suddenly picked up the gold-plated pen holder from the table, with a light force, the pen holder was broken like flour, and said sharply: "No one is allowed to tell about what happened tonight. , otherwise it is equivalent to this pen holder."

Master Wang and Xu Mubin trembled in fright, and said in response: "Yes."

"Master Wang, in half an hour, take your men and go to the 'Chunxiangyuan' in the north of the city to catch Mao Chengkun's subordinates. I think you should know what crime they committed. Whoever dares to tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude to him."

Before he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and he had already disappeared in the study room, really coming and going without a trace.

After a long while, Lord Wang and Xu Mubin came to their senses, wiped the sweat from their faces, and were completely soaked.The way of the two guards was automatically untied, and they came in to plead guilty.

Mr. Wang was so frightened that he didn't have the mind to punish them. After discussing with Xu Mubin hastily for a while, he ordered his men and horses, and headed to the north of the city noisily.
