Chapter 48

South Old Street, Zhengqing Gang, noon.

Xie Qing locked himself in the attic by himself, dismissed all his subordinates, and released the paper bird that sent the message.

Not long after, a pitch-black figure appeared behind him, silently, like a ghost.

Xie Qing suddenly turned his head, and saw a grimacing figure leaning on the attic.

"Any news?" A hoarse voice came from under the grimace.

Although Xie Qing couldn't see Yu Chen's expression, he could feel the sound of a bloodthirsty beast smelling its prey.

Swallowing his saliva, Xie Qing didn't dare to let it go, handed Yu Chen a note, and said, "Senior, Xiao Zihua's family wealth has been confiscated now, and he can't run far after he escaped from prison. Anzi found out that the Black Water Gang was given to Xiao Zihua in a small courtyard eighty miles south of the city, and before the yamen found out, I sent someone to check, and he was indeed there!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the note and said, "This is the address."

Yu Chen picked up the note, looked at it, nodded, and went out the door.

The figure disappeared into the snowstorm.

Only Xie Qing was left, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

——For some reason, when facing Yu Chen this time, he felt unprecedented pressure!
That feeling is like seeing a terrifying undercurrent surging under the calm sea.

Outside Weishui City, eighty miles to the south.

Far away from the official road, in a quiet jungle, there is a small courtyard.

Although the place is remote, it is quite elegant and unique.

Gray bricks and blue tiles, the outer walls are entangled with vines, green plants are planted in the courtyard, there is a four-legged pavilion, a stone table, a few small stools are placed in the pavilion, and an unknown big tree is planted in the corner. Bare branches covered most of the courtyard.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his 40s, wrapped in a thick cotton quilt, was sitting on a stone bench, looking out of the courtyard anxiously.

These few days, Xiao Zihua was in a hurry, like ants on a hot pan.

Previously, after the incident with the three brothers of the Ji family, their uncle, Master Ji Liu of the Black Water Gang, found him and asked him to do some internal manipulation to avoid the crimes of several people.

After some discussion, the Heishui Gang dispatched masters to replace the physical evidence from the arrest house on Linshui Street, and successfully let the three brothers of the Ji family be released.

Therefore, Xiao Zihua also got a lot of benefits.

——This courtyard away from the hustle and bustle is one of them.

But what I didn't expect was that the Dong Chuang incident broke out that night, and a lot of shady things were involved.

——Someone sneaked into his house and stabbed all the bribes he had accepted over the years to the Auditor.

Later, the inspection department came overnight, ransacked his house, took him away, and sent him to prison for investigation.

Fortunately, there was someone from Xiao Zihua in the prison. After manipulating it together, he escaped from the prison, escaped from the Weishui River overnight, and hid in this remote courtyard.

But even if he escaped, he couldn't feel at ease.

Because at this time, his house was ransacked, and all his property was confiscated. It can be said that except for a little scattered money on his body, there was no trace of money.

Even if you want to run, you can't go anywhere.

Therefore, Xiao Zihua had no choice but to pin his hopes on Master Ji Liu of the Blackwater Gang, hoping that he could raise some money so that he could escape from the border of the Weishui River before discussing the future.

But the letter was sent out for more than two days, and there was no response at all. Xiao Zihua's heart became more and more anxious and unable to hold back!
The sky gradually darkened.

The whistling wind and snow were urgent and intense.

But on the narrow path leading to the outside world, there was no sign of anyone coming.

Xiao Zihua's heart gradually sank.

He felt that he might have been abandoned.

The Blackwater gang is only looking for profit, and now that he has lost his status as chief arrester of Weishui, he naturally has no use value.

"Ji Lao Liu... and the leader of the Black Water Gang..."

Xiao Zihua's face became gloomy, he gritted his teeth, under the dim oil lamp, he looked like a beast with red eyes.

Jingle Bell--

Suddenly, Xiao Zihua heard a ringing bell, even in the howling wind and snow, it was extremely clear!

He was stunned.

I thought, could it be that the Blackwater Gang finally came after receiving his message?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zihua couldn't help feeling hot in his heart!
Jingle Bell--

That ringing bell, I remembered again.

But Xiao Zihua was horrified to find that when the bell echoed in his ears, his spirit seemed to be sleepy, drowsy.

At that moment, bite the tip of your tongue and stay awake.

Xiao Zihua's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.

He lifted the long knife in the house, put on a posture, and became vigilant!
Although he was in a high position and hadn't done anything for a long time, after all, he had learned from Yu Tiesheng, the number one master of Weishui River, so he still had the foundation to train his muscles and bones!

If it's an ordinary thief, why not him!
crunch--

There was a harsh sound of wood rubbing, and the closed door was pushed open.

The wind and snow, the chill and the pitch-black night flooded into the room at the same time, making Xiao Zihua shiver all over!
Then he saw it.

In the dark night, a darker figure walked into the house stepping on the wind, snow and night.

He was dressed in a dark robe, with a grimace mask that seemed to be crying and smiling. When he walked, he made no sound, not like a living person.

At that moment, Xiao Zihua's man exploded!

This outfit... looks familiar?
Damn!

Xiao Zihua slapped his thigh!
Black clothes and black robes!

Grimace mask!

Why does this costume look so much like the head-removing ghost that was rumored to have decapitated the heads of the three brothers of the Ji family? !

Although when the three brothers of the Ji family died, Xiao Zihua had already been taken away by the Audit Department, so he did not see the death of the three brothers of the Ji family with his own eyes.

But this kind of thing that has spread throughout Weishui, even if Xiao Zihua is in prison, of course the jailer has mentioned it several times.

Did he think this was pure nonsense?

What decapitated ghost?
Most likely, the rival gangs of the Blackwater Gang fished in troubled waters and created that bloody massacre!

The chief arrester of Weishui, Xiao, doesn't believe in ghosts and gods!

He didn't realize it until that figure actually appeared in front of him!
That is true!
The head-removing ghost walked into the room without looking anxious. He looked around the room without saying a word.

The atmosphere was dull and somewhat depressing.

Xiao Zihua could even hear the beating of his heart in his chest!

"Who are you? Don't pretend to be a ghost!" Holding a long knife, he took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice.

no respond.

"Do not say?"

Xiao Zihua's eyes turned cold, he leaned forward with his left foot, and rushed forward with a stride, the sharp long knife slashed straight down!

The sharp blade tore through the air without mercy!
But just when the blade was about to hit Grimacing Man's forehead, Xiao Zihua suddenly saw that the opponent's hand was moving so fast, with an afterimage, he caught the white blade with his bare hands and grabbed the bright long knife!

boom!
It was like chopping on the trunk of a thick century-old tree, with a dull sound, Xiao Zihua's knife could no longer penetrate an inch!
The former chief arrester of Weishui suddenly changed his face!
The body is like gold and iron, hard to hurt by swordsmen!This is the innate body!
Damn it!When did Weishui have another innate master?
Xiao Zihua roared in his heart, but he was not slow to withdraw his hand at all, he was about to draw the knife and retreat!

But at that moment, he was stunned.

That hand grasped the blade like a pair of iron pliers, using force!

Accompanied by the ear-piercing twisting sound of steel, the ghost-faced man squeezed the long knife into curls abruptly!

Xiao Zihua was terrified, knowing that he was definitely not his opponent, he threw down the long knife, jumped out of the house, and fled into the night with his legs!

escape!
must escape!
This is by no means an opponent that can be defeated!
In an instant, Xiao Zihua had no other thoughts in his mind!
But after a catapult started and rushed out of the house, Xiao Zihua was horrified to find that the grimace man who was still at the door of the house had stood at the gate of the courtyard before, blocking his way!

He moved!
With just one step, he crossed the wind and snow and hit Xiao Zihua in front of him!

Grab Xiao Zihua's shoulder and throw it away!
boom!
The body of the former chief arrester of Weishui slammed into the wall like a rag doll, making a dull crashing sound!
broken!

The bones are broken!

Xiao Zihua, who was thrown to pieces, clearly felt that his leg bones had been broken in that terrible fall just now!
Then, as soon as he recovered from the spinning, he saw that grimace was already close in front of him.

Like a deadly ghost.

"Don't worry, the night is still long."

A hoarse, cold voice came from under the crying-smiling face.

"—Let's take our time."

 Brothers, I have to work overtime on the construction site today, so it will be another chapter, and it will return to normal tomorrow (.︿.)
