Chapter 118
Si Ruiyan glanced at the corpse on the ground, turned around and said to the big man, "Brother, it seems that this person has really blackmailed you. Seeing injustice on the way down, I would like to help you pay off your innocence. I don't know if brother is willing." Do you believe me?"

The big man clasped his fists and nodded, quite politely: "Young master is chivalrous, I am very grateful, there is no reason not to believe it!"

"This son, the barbarians are cunning and cunning. They plundered many people in our frontiers in the early years. If you want to help him, you will be helping the tyrants! Do you think so?" The short man turned around, his arms were constantly shaking, inciting the people .

Everyone remembered the brutal plunder of the Hu people in the early years, and their faces changed for a while.

Their gazes at Si Ruiyan turned cold, as if they were looking at a heinous sinner.

Cheng Feng stepped forward, his gaze was like a knife, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife.

"Back off." Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, with deep eyes.

The people of Xihe City are tough, and these people cannot be intimidated by drawing a knife.Once they were angered, even if Cheng Feng could fight ten against one, he would never be able to defeat a hundred people throwing stones at him.

Seeing the dark and fierce light in the eyes of those common people, Cheng Feng felt unsure and put his hand down again.

"Usually when the Ministry of Punishment is involved in a murder case, it will ask you to dissect the corpse to find out the cause of death. Since you keep saying that your father died after taking the elixir, there must be residual elixir in his stomach." Si Rui said He looked at the fake corpse covered with a white cloth.

All eyes also fell on the white cloth.

"What do you mean! My father died unexpectedly, and you still want him to die without a whole body!" The short man suddenly panicked, pointed at Si Ruiyan and cursed an idiot.

"Didn't you just say that you want to report to the government? Then the government has to follow this rule to file a case. It's the same in all states and counties in Dazhou." Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, not caring about his scolding and accusations.

"You said that you bought two grains, and people died on the third day. This is less than a day. After eating, it takes at least one day to digest the grains. Now the abdomen is cut open for examination. , in time."

Si Ruiyan rolled his eyes coldly, and he spoke the last three words extremely long.

That is, these three short words fell on the back of the short man like three cold knives, and his face turned pale.

"Chengfeng, you are wearing a dagger, let's test it for this brother." Si Ruiyan said coldly so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, anyone can see the residue in the stomach.Right and wrong, right and wrong, can be revealed immediately.

However, that knife is absolutely unavoidable.

Cheng Feng pursed his lips slightly and snickered, shouted yes, quickly came to the stretcher, and suddenly reached out and lifted the white cloth.

What appeared was a slightly gray face, lifeless and full of wrinkles. It looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

But the grayness on the face is the result of applying special potion on it. Cheng Feng had heard of this kind of trickery in the early years.It's just that he didn't expose it. He took out the dagger from his boot and pulled it out heavily.

Zheng!There was a sharp and crisp sound.

Cheng Feng made a loud noise on purpose, right next to the old man's ear.

He pressed the point of the dagger against the Zhongwan acupoint, and exerted a little force to go down, but it was not enough to cause damage through the skin.

"From this place, if you go down with a knife, you can see the inside immediately!" Si Rui said loudly, speaking to the people in the surrounding neighborhood, and also to the person who was still lying on the stretcher and pretending to be dead.

The short man rushed forward, trying to push Chengfeng away, but before he could take a step, the person on the stretcher was already screaming.

"Hero, spare me! I'm not dead! I'm just faking it!" The old man opened his eyes, his eyes were piercing, and his voice was as loud as a bell.

There was an uproar, and the crowd stepped back about ten steps, all of them looked terrified.

This is a dead body in broad daylight.

But that sentence, I'm fine, is just pretending, and it's to bring everyone back to their senses.

"What a bastard! How dare you lie to me!" The big man angrily grabbed the little man by his collar and lifted him up where he was.

The liar begged for mercy loudly, but before he finished speaking, the big man's fist had already hit the bridge of his nose.

There was a crisp sound of broken joints, and the short man's face was like a jar of red sauce that burst on the ground, and a bright red color gushed out.

His body was like a little mouse, he was thrown on the ground by the big man, and he was trampled on a few times.In an instant, he didn't want to shout out, nor did he hold back the pain, he hummed and formed a very strange sound.

"Your Highness, should we stop it? If we fight like this, people will die." Cheng Feng didn't expect the big man to attack with such hatred. If he didn't know, he would have thought that there was some kind of revenge between the two of them for killing their father.

Si Ruiyan's eyes were cold and he didn't say a word.

None of the neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood went up to stop him, so what is there for him to stop him as an outsider.

Since the big man has stayed in Xihe City for many years, he will not be ignorant of the rules in the city.It's not like he did it like this, otherwise he, a foreigner, would have caused many troubles and killed many people.

Looking carefully, the place where the big man strikes is the first place where the bridge of the nose is heavier.The rest are attacks on the limbs, which are not vital points, at most they can hurt the muscles and bones, and the troubles will not be so serious as killing people.

"Master, spare your life! We are really desperate and want to cheat some money! Please also show your hand and spare us a dog's life!"

Seeing the young man being beaten up to this point, the old man who pretended to be the corpse immediately came up and knelt down to beg for mercy.

He is indeed old, his five or 60-year-old body kneels and kowtows, even if it is seen by irrelevant people, he is a little soft-hearted.

"Bah! You have hands and feet, and instead of working to earn money, you think of these crooked ways! You have the face to cry when I find out!"

The big man was about to lift his legs, but seeing the thin body of the old man, he gritted his teeth and endured it again.

"That's right, if it wasn't for this young master who exposed you, you would have gone to have fun with 200 taels!"

"Cheating money by pretending to be dead, asking for forgiveness after crying a few times, is there any law in this world!"

"If money is so easy to cheat and people are so easy to get away with, then I'll just pretend to be dead and cheat money tomorrow. 200 taels, I can't earn this amount in ten years!"

The surrounding villagers didn't have the slightest sympathy, but disgusted in their eyes.

There was a lot of scolding, and for a while, the surrounding area was as noisy as a vegetable market.

The big man's fists and kicks had stopped, and the two saw that they were scolding fiercely around them. The old man dragged the young man and begged for mercy while walking tentatively.Seeing that the big man didn't make a move, they ran away quickly and disappeared in a flash.

"Thank you, my lord, for helping me out, otherwise these two rascals might be on the verge of succumbing to the end!" The big man clasped his fists and nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"It's just a little effort." Si Ruiyan nodded.

The big man raised his head and laughed loudly, cupping his fists and said: "When we met by chance, I drew my sword to help. I must thank you for this kindness. I don't know if you will show me your face and let me treat you to a drink!"

"My son never drinks alcohol." Cheng Feng came forward and responded coldly.

This person is a barbarian of a different race, so he can't get too close.

"In that case, it's okay to use tea instead of wine. I'm still the one to thank you." Seeing Si Rui's polite words, the big man could be forgiven for not drinking.

"My son still has important things to deal with, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time for a while. I'm afraid this meal will have to be another day." Cheng Feng replied coldly again.
