I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 204 Clues
Liu Qi pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw an anxious Sang Manman standing up with a big belly.

Liu Qi's eyes glanced over the scabbard in Sang Manman's hand, and then he walked aside silently. Chu Xingbai stepped in behind him, and then Liu Qi saw Sang Manman's tense look relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The explosion outside just now scared her.

But in an instant, Sang Manman's attention was attracted by the person Chu Xingbai was holding. A coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Is it him?"

Chu Xingbai heard the murderous intent in his wife's tone, and quickly shook his head and explained: "It's not the tomb robber, but this person is one of the masters who attacked the tomb robber the day before yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cheng, who was covered in black and dirty clothes, limped in. He didn't care about the presence of a woman. He tore his trousers and top open with a "sneak" sound, revealing his charred skin, and there was an instant smell of blood. It poured into the noses of everyone in the room.

Chu Xingbai immediately turned his head and looked: "Brother Cao, is the injury serious?"

Cao Cheng took out a palm-sized porcelain jar from his arms, and then took the porcelain jar and poured some white powder on the burned area on his body. The distorted expression on his face suddenly relaxed a little, and then he held his breath and replied: "It doesn't matter. , are all skin injuries.”

At this time, the man in Chu Xingbai's hands also woke up from his coma. He looked around blankly, then his pupils shrank, and he seemed to realize something, and he begged for mercy:
"You heroes, spare your lives, I don't know anything, I was forced!"

"Shut up!" Chu Xingbai saw that he was shaking his body dishonestly in his hands, so he simply picked up the other party's collar, pushed him to the wall, and then slapped him up.

The ordnance shipped to northern Xinjiang was destroyed. This kind of case should not be mentioned by the prefect of Li'an Prefecture. I am afraid that even the governor of this province will lose his black gauze hat.

But no matter what, Xia Yuanpeng still rebuilt the Nu Lei Gang, which also convinced Du Gongqin completely, and he devoted his life to him.

This person's name is Du Gongqin, and he is the descendant of the powerful Hanjiang Sword Sect in Li'an Prefecture before the Wuling Order was broken. After the Wuling Order was broken, the Hanjiang Sword Sect was disbanded. Du Gongqin, like Thunder Villa, used the core disciples as villagers. He was brought under his command again. Although he was nameless and had no status, he was no longer as prosperous as before, but he finally retained a trace of incense.

With a "pop" sound, the man's eyes froze and he finally stopped shouting.

That is, three days ago, someone came to the door and asked Du Gongqin to do something for him on the condition of allowing the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Is there any reason why Du Gongqin shouldn't do it?

Yesterday's Lei Ming Villa feast was held by Xia Yuanpeng to celebrate the re-establishment of the Raging Thunder Gang. Even the new plaque had been prepared in advance and was just waiting to be hung up in front of all the guests that day. It had been disbanded for nearly twenty years. The Furious Thunder Gang has returned to the world!
But...he bumped into Liu Qi.

Cao Cheng's face changed slightly, and he didn't care about the injury on his leg. He reached out to the bed and gently opened the window a little, then looked outside for a few times, and his face suddenly darkened.

Under Chu Xingbai's interrogation, the other party almost gave up everything he knew without making any resistance.

Seeing that Chu Xingbai couldn't figure it out, he immediately snorted angrily: "You dare to sacrifice your life for others without even meeting each other. Is that a dung basket on your neck?"

Suddenly, there was a burst of uniform footsteps outside, completely suppressing the patter of rain.

Chu Xingbai saw that the other party had become honest, so he bared his teeth and said fiercely: "Answer my question honestly, otherwise... hum!"

Obviously, officers and soldiers came to investigate.

"Even if there were doubts in my heart, most of them will disappear after Xia Yuanpeng sends out invitations."

On the long street that is only separated from the room by a wall, there are about hundreds of officers and soldiers marching in the rain, and small groups of people are constantly separating from the large army and entering various alleys along the way, and then they hear an endless stream of people. There was a knock on the door.

Liu Qi was standing with his back against the wall on the other side of the door, arms folded in front of him. Seeing that Chu Xingbai was already interrogating, she couldn't help but glance at him sideways. She never thought that this guy was an expert in interrogation.

"They are officers and soldiers of the imperial court. It seems that the news has reached the government."

Is it Fu Qingshu again?
Liu Qi frowned. She remembered that the county captain who implemented this plan in Donghe County at that time was from Feiyu Villa, and Feiyu Villa could almost be regarded as the power of the first assistant Fu Qingshu.

Could it be that Fu Qingshu or his men were responsible for the situation in Li'an Mansion?
Unfortunately, Du Gongqin never saw the true face of the person who came to recruit him. He only knew that every time the person showed up, he would either give instructions through the door, or he would be wearing a cloak and a black scarf.

The attack on Tie Lei the day before yesterday was at the instigation of that man. When Du Gongqin found out that the one who attacked Tie Lei was Xia Yuanpeng from Lei Ming Villa, he became even more devoted to that man!
Liu Qi always felt that this routine seemed familiar. He recalled that in the past in Donghe County near Xiliu Villa, someone seemed to have used almost the same method to bribe the Donghe Gang, who had turned into Donghe water pirates at that time.

Thumb, thump, thump...

Cao Cheng, who had been silent due to the pain of his injury, suddenly spoke slowly and said: "Even Xia Yuanpeng has already finished, what reason does he have for refusing?"

Unless... the murderer who destroyed the ordnance can be caught to make amends.

Cao Cheng's face was so gloomy that he could drip water. He closed the window tightly again, then turned around to face everyone in the room and said in a deep voice: "The government officials will investigate this place soon. What's our next step?" manage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very clear knock on the door, and the investigating officers and soldiers were nearby!
Cao Cheng first looked at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi leaned against the wall and felt Cao Cheng's eyes on her. She puffed her cheeks slightly, but still remained silent.

Cao Cheng had no choice but to look at Chu Xingbai.

Chu Xingbai was about to speak, but Sang Manman beside him took the initiative to stand up and said softly: "I think it's better for us to avoid the spotlight for the time being. If we continue to antagonize the government at this time, wouldn't we be doing what was behind the scenes?" The person’s intention!”

"I agree with Miss Manman." Cao Cheng immediately nodded in agreement, "The other party clearly wants to put the blame for the destruction of the ordnance on our heads. If there is another conflict with the court, even if they are proven innocent in the end, it will be Totally offended the government!"

As the president of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce, Cao Cheng was certainly unwilling to antagonize the government.

But he was still a little worried about Liu Qi, so he turned to look at Liu Qi and asked proactively: "Miss Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Qi raised his head and glanced at everyone, then said in a calm tone: "I have no objection."

Cao Cheng felt relieved when he heard this. When he proposed to avoid the edge temporarily, what he was most worried about was whether Liu Qi would agree with this decision.

After these few days of getting along, Cao Cheng finally understood that this woman's character was colder and sharper than the knife in her hand, as if she was born fearless. But Liu Qi seems a little different today!

Cao Cheng couldn't help but look at Liu Qi quietly, thinking that no one was hurt in his attack today. In Du Gongqin's house, the knife was not even unsheathed, and the aura on his body was not as sharp as it was in the past few days!
Liu Qi noticed Cao Cheng's quietly looking at him and caught a glimpse of the confusion in his eyes, and instantly guessed what he was thinking.

Liu Qi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her hands wrapped in front of her body. She saw the pale aura disappearing and appearing. As Liu Qi's five fingers curled up slightly, the murderous intention that was originally scattered between the five fingers instantly gathered in the palms of her hands. , becoming more solid and majestic.

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous intent condensed in his palms instantly converged in his body. The Yimu Qi flowing through the meridians instantly surged in to surround him, and then turned into a rushing stream, rushing towards the next key point.

Not killing does not mean that the killing intention has subsided. The knife is hidden in the sheath, just to make the next killing more violent!
……

The officers and soldiers quickly found the place where Liu Qi and the others stayed, but Liu Qi and his party had already moved to a new place.

Chu Xingbai originally planned to invite Liu Qi and Cao Cheng to live with him temporarily, but Liu Qi and Cao Cheng refused with great tacit agreement, and Cao Cheng in turn persuaded Chu Xingbai and his wife not to return to their residence.

"I think the basin of blood in the darkroom probably belongs to Tie Lei, otherwise the fragrant flies would not be attracted to it." Cao Cheng sincerely advised, "Since the other party has already counted the fragrant flies, I think your residence is probably It has also been exposed.”

"You mean, Manman and I were targeted before we came out from southern Xinjiang?" Chu Xingbai couldn't help but frown. He had always been proud of his Qinggong and body skills, so naturally he didn't want to admit that he Being played with in the palm of one's hand.

But Sang Manman was obviously more vigilant. She pulled Chu Xingbai's arm and followed Cao Cheng's words and said, "Xiao Bai, I also think this matter is too strange. The Sang family's ancestral land is a tribal forbidden land. Why would a tomb robber from the Central Plains travel thousands of miles to steal the treasures from our tribe?"

As he spoke, Sang Manman glanced deeply at the faces of Cao Cheng and Liu Qi, and then whispered in Chu Xingbai's ear: "Xiao Bai, the Central Plains is really too dangerous, otherwise we should go back, even if we don't Even if we take that damn tomb robber back, our father won’t blame us!”

"This... there is no reason to give up halfway!" Chu Xingbai's eyes flickered with guilt, and then he said firmly, "Don't worry, he is just a tomb robber. I can definitely take your man back to my father. Depressed!"

Finally, with Chu Xingbai's insistence and Cao Cheng's persuasion, Sang Manman and Chu Xingbai finally agreed to stay temporarily at Liu Qi's residence at the dock, pending their next move.

"What should I do with this person?" Chu Xingbai, who had discussed where to go, glanced at Du Gongqin, who was carrying him, and asked Liu Qi and Cao Cheng, "Should he let him go, or should he be killed with a single blow?"

Du Gongqin couldn't help but shrank when he heard the words, and then begged for mercy in a low voice: "Please don't kill us..."

The reason why he didn't dare to beg for mercy loudly was because every time his voice was slightly louder, it would attract Chu Xingbai's fists, kicks and slaps.

A coldness flashed across Cao Cheng's eyes: "Since you don't know anything, don't blame us..."

"and many more!"

Before Cao Cheng finished speaking, Du Gongqin, who had already felt the murderous intention, shouted in a tearful voice: "Don't kill me, I still have something to explain!"

"Say it!"

"That person... every time that person comes to see me, he has a faint smell of rouge and gouache. Only the Huaqin girl in Jiangyue Tower can use that kind of rouge and gouache!"

"Fart!" Chu Xingbai hit Du Gongqin on the head with two fists, and then cursed, "Only one person can use rouge and gouache!"

"Really, the only one who uses that kind of rouge and gouache is Hua Qin." Du Gongqin almost cried. "It is said that her skin will become red and swollen when she uses all the rouge and gouache on the market, so she developed her own rouge and gouache!"

"I remember that smell very clearly, it's only hers!"

Chu Xingbai's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately knocked Du Gongqin unconscious with a knife. Then he raised his head and asked Liu Qi and Cao Cheng, "How credible do you think his words are?"

Cao Cheng muttered: "The dying person... is at least 70% credible!"

Liu Qi said calmly: "Then let's go and have a look."

"Then this person..." Chu Xingbai looked at Du Gongqin who had fainted.

"kill!"

Cao Cheng spit out one word coldly!
When Chu Xingbai heard this, he didn't hesitate at all. His hand went directly to Du Gongqin's throat. With a "click", Du Gongqin's body softened.

After dumping Du Gongqin's body in a smelly ditch, the four of them returned to their residence on the dock.

When Zhou Mi saw everyone entering the house, he glanced at Sang Manman's belly in surprise, and then smiled: "It's really fun to travel around the world and take care of a family!"

Chu Xingbai was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman in the room who was no less beautiful than Liu Qi. After hearing what Zhou Mi said, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and showed displeasure on his face.

As for Sang Manman, after entering the house, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Mi.

When Liu Qi looked at Sang Manman, stars almost appeared in her eyes!
So she couldn't help but touch her smooth chin, wondering to herself if there was such a big difference in appearance between herself and Zhou Mi, and why Sang Manman didn't see stars in her eyes when she saw her!

Zhou Mi also noticed Sang Manman looking at her, so he smiled and said, "Since this girl is pregnant, she'd better come in quickly and sit down to rest."

"Chi Liu -" Sang Manman wiped the corner of his mouth, and then smiled honestly: "Sister, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairies on the murals in our clan!"

Zhou Mi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he asked with a smile: "My sister is not from the Central Plains?"

Sang Manman nodded like garlic: "I am from the South Xinjiang Wu Clan."

"Ah, it turns out she is a girl from the Wu clan." Zhou Mi's eyes seemed to light up, and then he laughed softly.
