No taboos

Chapter 63 Mr. Gao

People like Mr. Gao can only be used once.

He lived alone in a small courtyard in the north of the city.

They are not Mr. Qiao's men, but are from Beidu.

After Chen Liangxuan explained the situation, Mr. Gao held up two fingers and said, "Two things. First, now that we've taken action, we need to send a message to Beidu. The follow-up arrangements must be initiated immediately."

"The message has been sent."

"Second, today's weather is perfect, but I need to cast a spell and I need five more lives." He emphasized, "They must be the lives of the Ming people!"

"it is good."

Mr. Chen agreed without hesitation.

……

The servants of the Chen Mansion were extremely cautious for two whole days, but they still couldn't escape.

The master came back from a trip and immediately found some random excuse to fly into a rage, beating five servants to death one after another!
There was a smell of blood in the front yard that even heavy rain couldn't wash away.

Only a few old stewards in the family were suspicious in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it out loud: those who were beaten to death this time were all Ming people.

Jiaozhi Province had been conquered for more than a hundred years, and the local natives had been assimilated into the Ming Dynasty, speaking Chinese and using Chinese characters, but there were still great differences in some treatments between the Ming people and the local natives.

Especially for a retired high-ranking official like my master, there used to be obvious differences in the treatment of servants in his home, and those who were punished were always local natives.

But this time... why?

……

A carriage drove into Hegong Lane.

The carriages in Jiaozhi are mostly made of bamboo bodies, thin plate roofs, and painted with lacquer. They are light, cool and waterproof.

However, it is already late autumn now, and the autumn and winter seasons in Jiaozhi have gradually become colder in recent years.

Mr. Yan was sitting in the car. Outside, there was a drizzle, wetting the body of the car.

A trace of cold air seeped in. Old Yan wrapped his padded Taoist robe tightly around him, thinking that he was too old to withstand the cold.

Last night, Mr. Yan and Ma Tianshou discussed and analyzed the case together, and the general outline of the case has emerged:
At present, the mastermind is Chen Liangxuan and the executor is Qiao Ziang.

Qiao Ziang was a chess piece that had been buried in Qihetai Town long ago.

Otherwise, no matter what means he had or what craftsman-made weapons he had hidden, it was impossible for a mere ninth-rate scholar to dominate the interests of Qihetai Town for so many years.

Because of Mr. Chen behind him and the power that Mr. Chen represents, they will help Qiao Ziang deal with it when he encounters trouble.

If there is insufficient evidence to accuse Chen Liangxuan now, then we need to go back to the real "center of the vortex" of the case - Qihetai Town.

To be more precise, it should be: Guiwu Mountain.

Early this morning, Ma Tianshou asked Fu Jingyu to prepare to leave, and at the same time sent Old Yan to invite Xu Yuan to come to the county government office for "further discussions."

If the young man wants to bargain, then I'll give you some benefits.

Firstly, Ma Tianshou was optimistic about Xu Yuan and the unfathomable strength of the entire Hegong Lane behind Xu Yuan.

Secondly, to go to Guiwu Mountain, we really need Xu Yuan as a guide.

As a result, it started to drizzle and we couldn't go on the road. We could only wait and see if the rain would stop.

Mr. Yan volunteered, "I'll go get Xu Yuan first."

The rain is not heavy, so it should be safe to walk around the city.

Ma Tianshou agreed.

Old Yan arrived at the alley and knocked on the gate. Xu Yuan came out with an umbrella to open the door.

When Old Yan took a look, he realized that this umbrella was the same one Xu Yuan was holding when he killed two seventh-rate people yesterday!

This is a craftsman's weapon.

"So careful?" Old Yan teased. Xu Yuan invited him in: "Why are you here on such a rainy day?" "Don't go in," Old Yan said. "Lock the door, get in the car and follow me. The old man wants to see you."

Xu Yuan shook his head under the umbrella: "No, it's not a good time to go out today."

One of them was inside the door, and the other was outside.

Elder Yan made his words clearer: "The old man specially invited you over today. If you have any ideas, you can take this opportunity to talk to him."

Xu Yuan certainly understood, but still shook his head: "Mr. Yan, I'm not going out today. Qiao Ziang's accomplices will definitely make another move today!"

Old Master Yan said, "What are you afraid of when I protect you? You won't have to worry when we get to the county government office, as the old man is here to take charge."

Xu Yuan looked at him quietly and said, "It was you who escorted me yesterday."

Old Yan's face flushed, he coughed twice, and said, "Okay then, I'll go in and ask for a cup of tea."

Mr. Yan left the carriage and walked into the yard, and Xu Yuan helped hold an umbrella for him.

Old Yan moved under the umbrella to avoid the rain and reached out to hold the umbrella handle.

The hand with some age spots suddenly turned into a dozen flesh and blood tentacles when it was about to touch the umbrella handle. Half of it wrapped around Xu Yuan's hand holding the umbrella, and the other half quickly stabbed Xu Yuan's chest!
Xu Yuan was caught off guard, and his right hand and umbrella were tightly entangled by seven or eight bloody tentacles. A strong yin energy surged out of the bloody tentacles, and Xu Yuan's arm was immediately stained blue and black.

The seven or eight flesh tentacles that pierced his chest also pierced through his clothes and touched Xu Yuan's chest.

Xu Yuan didn't look panicked, but instead wore a "hospitable" smile and said, "Try mine too."

A flexible and pliable "tentacle" was swung out from Xu Yuan's left hand.

Swish!
Xu Yuan's tentacles quickly wrapped around "Old Yan". As the animal tendon rope was tightened, "Old Yan's" skin broke, revealing a piece of dark red flesh underneath!
After Xing Guolong cut the animal tendon rope, Xu Yuan took it back and refined it again.

The flesh monster wearing the skin of "Old Yan" frantically urged its flesh tentacles to move, but found that the tentacles that pierced Xu Yuan's chest were blocked by something flexible and could not go in at all.

The same goes for the tentacles that trapped Xu Yuan's arm. It always felt like there was something between them and Xu Yuan's hand.

When Xu Yuan woke up in the morning, he felt something was wrong, so he went back and continued to use the fire in his stomach to refine the animal skin that was used as bait.

The scope of Pidan's coverage has been expanded again.

And it can be divided into several parts.

The moment "Old Yan" made his move, half of the leather Dan turned into a glove, and the other half protected his chest.

After the tendon pill trapped the flesh and blood monster, Xu Yuan opened his mouth: Hu——

The fire in the belly sprayed fiercely onto the face of the flesh and blood monster at a distance of less than three feet.

Its skin immediately turned to ashes, but it turned out to be a painting of Old Yan.

This is Wen Xiu's painting technique.

The flesh and blood monster twisted in the raging flames and was quickly burned to ashes.

There is a chance to disguise yourself as an acquaintance and plot against a life cultivator.

After all, it is impossible for a life cultivator to keep "Watching Life" turned on all the time.

But when Xu Yuan saw that it was going to rain today, he had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he was extra cautious.

When he opened the door, he took a quick look and found that it was not Uncle Yan.

Half of the flesh and blood monster was burned in an instant, and the coachman outside the door quickly turned the car body and pointed the rear end of the car at the courtyard gate.

Wow!

The light car body was lifted off, and a black tube was pointed at Xu Yuan!

It is as thick as a baby's fist.

The shaft of the carriage was actually a rifle in disguise!

And there is no doubt that it is also the creation of the "New Craftsman".

To carry the gun, one person has to hold it in front and another person has to fire it from behind, but it is also suitable to be mounted on a carriage!
boom!
A ball of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and the gunshot was so loud that people mistakenly thought that a bolt of lightning had fallen in the alley.
