Demon detective

Chapter 3 Summoning
"Chen Tiefeng?" Qiu Batian frowned slightly, "I've never heard of it."

After saying that, he looked at his servant.

"I... I seem to have heard of it," one of the servants nodded, "There seems to be a man named Tie Feng in the yamen."

"Boss Qiu," Xu Zhen stepped forward and clasped his fists, smiling, "I'm under the order of County Magistrate Song to invite you to visit the yamen!"

As he spoke, he took out a card from his pocket.

Jupai is a token for summoning or arresting defendants. It is a rectangular bamboo stick with the word "Ju" engraved on it.

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, everyone was surprised.

"This... this is arrest!" Finally, a servant came to his senses, "Does the Yamen want to arrest Master Qiu?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became dignified.

"What? Yamen?" Another famous family member Ding said arrogantly, "Yamen is an old man, he is not qualified to carry shoes for our Master Qiu, and he dares to arrest him, it's a joke!"

"Hey," another servant pointed at Xu Zhen's nose and shouted, "Do you know who our Master Qiu is? Are you crazy? What a guts!"

After yelling and cursing, all eyes were on Qiu Batian.

Qiu Batian chewed the grapes in his mouth, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said after a while: "It's really interesting... Let me ask you, why is the yamen wanting to arrest me?"

"It's not an arrest, it's a summons!" Xu Zhen explained, "There's a case."

"Summon?" Qiu Batian was suddenly curious, "So, I'm the one who has been sued? Someone wants to sue me?"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, looking at the entire Yanping County, who would dare to sue Qiu Batian?
"Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts," a servant shouted, "It's so boring!"

"Boss Qiu," Xu Zhen clasped his fists again, "you can go to the Yamen with me, and you will know what's going on!"

When Xu Zhen said this, all the family members immediately put away their smiling faces, and all surrounded them aggressively.

"Why, isn't the yamen amazing?" One of them showed his hard fist, "Get out of here before Master Qiu loses his temper, or you can beat him up even if you're a policeman!"

"Wait," who knows, Qiu Batian ordered his subordinates to stop, and asked Xu Zhen again, "I ask you, who wants to sue me, and why?"

"This..." Xu Zhen pretended to be in trouble. According to the rules, the police cannot disclose the case.

"Say it quickly! I want to beat you up!?" The servants threatened.

"Okay," Xu Zhen told Qiu Batian the truth, "Someone sued you, saying that you kidnapped a woman last night and ruined it, and this morning you stripped her clothes and threw them in Yong'an Market!"

"..."

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, the scene fell into silence again.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but their eyes turned to Qiu Batian in unison.

Ok?
what's the situation?
Suddenly, Xu Zhen felt something strange in his heart.

Through the reactions of these servants, it seems that they did not know about the case.

If they knew about the case, they should have shown a concealed or disdainful expression, but now they only showed doubts.

what happened?

Could it be... there is something else hidden in this case?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen quickly looked at Qiu Batian.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Batian puffed up his cheeks and spat out the grape skin in his mouth towards Xu Zhen's face!
Fortunately, Xu Zhen was quick-witted, and immediately waved the card in his hand, just in time to knock off the grape skin.

"How unreasonable! Dare to play Lao Tzu's idea, I think you all don't want to live!?" Qiu Batian was furious, and shouted at Xu Zhen, "Go back and tell your county magistrate to come to my Zuixian Tower , explain it to me personally! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude, hmph..."

how……

Qiu Batian's reaction made Xu Zhen difficult to judge for a while.

Did Qiu Batian do this case?
Just at this time, the carriage that came to pick up Qiu Batian just drove over from the backyard and stopped in front of everyone.

Qiu Batian went straight to Xu Zhen and stared at Xu Zhen fiercely, which meant that Xu Zhen should get out of the way and get in the car.

At this moment, Xu Zhen already felt that the circumstances of the case were different. If the case was really not committed by Qiu Batian, it would be obviously unwise for him to summon Qiu Batian to the court today.

Therefore, Xu Zhen stepped aside consciously.

"Huh!" Qiu Batian snorted coldly, walked forward swaggeringly, and came to the carriage.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the curtain opened, Xu Zhen suddenly saw two young girls with disheveled clothes appeared in the carriage!
In an instant, Xu Zhen was shocked like an electric shock.

But seeing the two girls with bruised noses and swollen faces, their bodies were covered with bruises, and the corner of one of the eyes was swollen so high that they couldn't even see the eyes.

Obviously, the two girls had just been brutally beaten and ravaged. They leaned helplessly in the carriage and did not dare to move, their eyes were desperate and lifeless.

And when they saw Qiu Batian was about to get into the car, the two girls suddenly showed fear and trembled, as if seeing a hell demon.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Xu Zhen couldn't help clenching his fists, and recalling the proud faces of Cheng Xiao and others, he had already changed his mind.

"Boss Qiu," he suddenly said to Qiu Batian who was about to get into the car, "don't you think this case is a bit strange?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Qiu Batian stopped in his tracks, turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since someone dares to sue you at the county government office, there must be some reason behind it?" Xu Zhen said, "Before coming, our county magistrate specially asked me to bring you a message. I think you'd better listen."

"Oh?" Qiu Batian was really curious, so he turned around and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Well..." Xu Zhen looked at his servants on the left and right, and said with a look of embarrassment, "You... you'd better... take a step to talk!"

With that said, he waved his hand at Qiu Batian.

Qiu Batian squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but his strong curiosity still prompted him to walk out of the crowd and come to Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen approached Qiu Batian's ear and whispered very solemnly: "The county magistrate told me that there are ghosts around you."

"Oh?"

This time, Qiu Batian was even more shocked, and Xu Zhen had already led him away from the rhythm.

However, Xu Zhen did not continue, but pointed to the tea stall opposite, and walked over.

Qiu Batian hesitated for a moment, but still followed. He didn't believe what Xu Zhen could do to him in front of so many people?

Seeing Qiu Batian walking towards the tea stall, the servants wanted to follow, but he scolded them all to go back.

"Tell me," Qiu Batian asked impatiently after arriving at the tea stall, "What's going on? Who is the ghost?"

"Look, the ghost next to you is that person!" As he said, Xu Zhen pointed behind Qiu Batian.

As a result, as soon as Qiu Batian turned his head, Xu Zhen turned his palm into a knife and slashed on the back of Qiu Batian's neck!

The powerful impact immediately made Qiu Batian faint, and Xu Zhen took advantage of the situation and threw him into the coal bucket pulled by the little donkey.

At the same time, he picked up a piece of crushed coal from the coal cart, raised his hand and threw it out, hitting Qiu Batian's horse's ass in the carriage!
Wululu...

The painfully tall horse immediately flew its hooves into the air and galloped forward, just blocking those servants of Qiu Batian.

Although the servants had seen Boss Qiu being hacked and hijacked, they intended to rush over to rescue him, but they were blocked by the carriage.

After they circled the carriage and chased after them, they found that the donkey cart carrying Boss Qiu had already disappeared at the end of the long street, leaving only two bewildered coal pullers in front of the tea stand...
