ten steps one kill

The girls in her building even took the initiative to throw their arms in their arms, undressed one after another, pretending to be coy and coy, and did their best to welcome the guests.

In order to still have business in the morning and still have a mouthful of food in the bowl, they really have no other choice.

Duan Changya also sat down at the table.

He didn't greet women, but a group of women kept throwing glances at him.

Not only was he of high status, but he was also young and handsome, full of heroic spirit, much better than the prostitutes who frequented the shabby shops.Which woman in the dust would not want to have a romantic relationship with him, to taste what the tongue of the proud son of heaven is like.

Some people can't help but plan to get there first.

It was a girl named Qinglan, wearing an apricot-yellow blouse with thighs cut off at the hem, with a thin waist and delicate eyebrows, she walked like a butterfly.

"Master Duan is tired, you might as well sit down and have a rest."

After saying that, the butterfly flew to Duan Changya's side, threw her lithe body into his arms, hooked his neck with one hand, and licked his lips with the tip of her tongue like a snake.

Duan Changya took half a step back calmly, and said: "I don't intend to stay for a long time, please respect yourself, girl."

Qinglan's face flushed instantly, she lowered her head and said, "I... I'm new here, I don't know the rules, I was the one who was abrupt, young master, don't get angry..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and she turned around hastily at the last word, intending to run away, but one foot tripped over the table leg, she staggered, and fell backward with an "ah".

Duan Changya didn't hide this time.

When a girl wants to fall into his arms, a gentleman should never hide.

The apricot-colored tunic almost touched his shoulder, but it was firmly caught by the other arm.

"My sister wears such beautiful shoes, so be careful when you walk."

The person who came was Liu Hongfeng.

Liu Hongfeng was still watching from a distance just now, but at some point he came between the two, even Duan Changya didn't see his movements clearly.

He supported Qinglan's shoulders, and lowered his head to glance at her shoes.On the heel of the left shoe that was caught, a dark stain was exposed, slowly spreading, as if soaked in water.

"Thank you." Qing Lan said in a soft voice. She supported the edge of the table to stand firm, and turned her head to leave, but found that Liu Hongfeng was still pulling her wrist.

She turned her head, her eyes showed a panicked look, like a frightened fawn that aroused pity.

Liu Hongfeng was not moved at all, but raised her eyebrows high, and asked in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, sister, you really have icy muscles and bones. It's so stuffy in the room, but your body is so cool."

Qinglan's expression suddenly changed.

Duan Changya showed surprise, and turned his head to look at the uninvited guest beside him.

Liu Hongfeng glanced at Duan Changya out of the corner of his eye, and his heart trembled immediately - this face is really handsome, from a close look, it looks like a sharp knife and ax chisel.

He quickly blinked his eyes, and then turned his gaze back to Qinglan.

Qinglan lowered her head, raised her eyelids to look at him timidly, and murmured: "I...I recently caught a cold, and my body has been very cold..."

"Really?" Liu Hongfeng said, "But I felt a strange inner breath flowing in my sister's body. I have always been humble and eager to learn, so I am very curious about such superb kung fu, can you teach me?"

His tone was frivolous, but the strength of his fingers was unambiguous.Qinglan couldn't break free from the bottom of his wrist, and her expression became even more flustered: "You... what are you talking about, and I haven't learned kung fu, so I don't understand."

Liu Hongfeng chuckled, and said: "Just now Xiaoqian couldn't find the hidden weapon because the hidden weapon was a needle made of ice. In such a stuffy room, the ice quickly melted into water, and the water quickly turned into steam. Of course he I can’t find it, so you think it’s the truth.”

"This...what does this have to do with me?"

"To keep the ice needles on your body and keep it from melting, your body must be very cold. Oh, my sister, your kung fu is not good enough. Look at the ice on the toe of this shoe has melted."

Qinglan's cheeks turned pale immediately, he didn't care about his dignity, he quickly retracted his toes, struggling while saying: "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about—"

The harder she struggled, the calmer Liu Hongfeng became. When he grabbed Qinglan just now, he purposely used his internal energy to resist her meridian qi, so that her internal kung fu could not be used, in order to force her to show her feet.

"The feeling of ice water getting into the soles of the feet must be very uncomfortable."

"you--"

Before Liu Hongfeng could finish speaking, Duan Changya suddenly squatted down and reached out to hold Qinglan's shoes.

"Ah - what are you doing, let me go!"

Qinglan didn't have the charming appearance just now, she exclaimed and kicked her legs at the same time.But Duan Changya's hand was as steady as a rock, while pressing down on her instep, he peeled off the embroidered shoe from her foot.

As soon as the shoe was off the foot, a small delicate box slipped out of the side, fell to the ground, and broke in two.

The box shell is made of iron, with a string of ice beads hanging on the surface, and inside is almost melted water, with thin needlepoints faintly floating in the water.Duan Changya narrowed his eyes and bent over to pick it up.

"Don't touch it!" Liu Hongfeng stopped immediately, "Be careful it's poisonous."

Duan Changya turned his head and said: "No, the ice needle is too cold, the poison must have been applied before the shot, otherwise the poison and the cold cannot be reconciled, and it will definitely affect the effect of the poison."

Liu Hongfeng was slightly taken aback, he just noticed the abnormality of Qinglan's body temperature just now, and didn't have time to investigate further, but Duan Changya was the first to see through the trick.

Qinglan's hands and feet were restrained, and she cried loudly, her whole body was weak and limp, and she knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the kitchen door creaked open.

Liu Qianmai rushed to the front of the hall in a hurry, and saw a delicate woman kneeling beside Liu Hongfeng at a glance, with one bare foot, water dripping from her ankle, her face looked like she was about to cry.

He immediately walked across to Liu Hongfeng, raised his foot and kicked him hard on the knee: "Are you a beast? Bullying a weak girl in order to snatch a man."

Liu Hongfeng was suddenly kicked to the bone by him, gasped for breath in pain, his eyes and eyebrows were huddled together, and he patted the back of his head with his hand: "You're a beast, don't be tempted by sex, okay, let me tell you how you did in the exam first." gone?"

Liu Qiangang was about to reply when he realized that Duan Changya's gaze was also on him, so he straightened his expression, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "I have detected several kinds of toxicity from the bones of these three people at the same time. Tangmen’s Xigu powder contains the heartbroken grass of Baicaotang, and there is another ingredient that I can’t even recognize. From the perspective of toxicology, it seems to be a poisonous prescription from southern Xinjiang. But what I can be sure of is that even if these poisons are not Mixed together, each is deadly."

Duan Changya frowned even deeper, turned to Qinglan, and asked sharply, "Who are you? Why did you murder the court officials?"

Qinglan was still sobbing, her shoulders were shaking like pieces of paper in the wind.

Liu Hongfeng leaned down, put his palm on her shoulder, and said: "Sister, listen to my persuasion, and tell the truth. This Mr. Duan is a peerless good man at first sight. If you are instigated by others and have unspeakable secrets, he will tell you the truth." I won’t embarrass you, maybe it can save your life, don’t you think so?”

After speaking, he winked at Duan Changya.

Duan Changya had a stern face at first, his appearance was like an iceberg, but after being hinted by Liu Hongfeng, he finally raised his brows and said, "Young lady, it's okay to say."

Qinglan's eyes wandered between the two, her lips moved slightly.

"What, speak louder?" Liu Hongfeng moved closer, but did not hear Qinglan's words.

Instead of uttering words, Qing Lan spat out a mouthful of cloudy foam, rolling her eyelids upwards.

"Too bad, she's going to swallow poison—" Liu Hongfeng immediately went to break her jaw.

It's too late.A smile appeared on Qinglan's face, black bruises spread along the corners of her mouth, and her body, like a puppet with its strings broken, slowly slipped and fell to the ground.

As soon as she fell down, a strange shape appeared on her face, her white, tender and delicate cheeks melted like wax, and began to fade from her forehead.Under the icy muscles and bones, there is another face hidden, with prominent cheekbones and sharp contours, it is obviously the face of a thin man.

It didn't take long for the fake skin to melt into a puddle of water. Her real cheeks were thin and rough, and her eyes popped out of their sockets, flipping up like dead fish.There was no blood on the lips, and they were livid. The soft and fragrant tongue just now was paralyzed in the mouth like a snake with its bones pulled out.

The deadly poison is hidden under this tongue, first harming others and then harming oneself.

A rotten smell filled the room.

Aunt Cui was so frightened that she sat on the ground, the wine jar in her hand fell to pieces: "This, this is not the Qinglan I know..."

Liu Qian was dumbfounded: "What a big sister, how did she become a male... male..."

The guest who had just kissed Qinglan couldn't help but bent down and vomited.

Even Duan Changya raised his arm and touched his lips with his fingers.

Liu Hongfeng looked at Qinglan's body, and pondered: "He mixed several kinds of poisons together, probably not only to kill people, but also to confuse his own identity, so that people can't tell."

Duan Changya nodded and said, "I feel the same way."

Liu Hongfeng said: "It's disguise, blame, and poison. This man is really a cunning and insidious killer. Fortunately, Mr. Duan showed up today, so he was able to catch him by the tail so quickly. Mr. Duan, you He is simply a wise and mighty martial arts star."

The level of flattery was so low that even Liu Qian couldn't hold back the urge to vomit.

Duan Changya didn't pay attention, just stared at the corpse in silence, let out a deep sigh, squatted down beside the deceased, endured the stench, and pulled the corpse's clothes away.

This person disguised himself with the ice rouge on his face. Except for the exposed cheeks, hands and feet, the rest of the skin was dull and rough, with patches of bluish-purple corpse spots floating on the surface, which was extremely ugly.

Seeing those sore-like spots, Liu Qian couldn't help covering her nose and turning her head away.

Duan Changya was still squatting beside the corpse, his expression unchanged.

Liu Hongfeng's nose is more delicate than Liu Qian's, and he wished he could hold his breath and hide as far away as possible, but when he saw Duan Changya's back, he immediately felt a sense of generosity as if he would risk his life to accompany a gentleman, gritted his teeth, and squatted down beside the corpse , asked: "How? Can you find a clue?"

When Duan Changya saw him, he was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.

There was nothing superfluous about this man, and his secrets, like the mask on his face, disappeared with life.

A guest came to Duan Changya's side and asked cautiously: "My lord, we... none of us have anything to do with the case, can we leave now?"

Duan Changya was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

There was a sudden commotion in Yingge Building, and the guests who were frozen in their seats rushed to the door.

Jin'e followed everyone's backs, and hurriedly called out, "Aunt Cui, many of them haven't paid yet—"

Aunt Cui was still sitting slumped on the ground, just sighed and shook her head.

Liu Qian was small and couldn't stand still because of the crowd, so he could only go back to Liu Hongfeng, stretched out his hand reluctantly, and grabbed the latter's thigh.

Liu Hongfeng didn't intend to move, but still stuck in place, looking around at the mess around him, showing a thoughtful look.

Liu Qian raised his head, just in time to see the haze in his eyes, like a cold and hard stone sinking at the bottom of the pool, the dark shadow swaying back and forth with the water waves, making him numb incessantly.

He couldn't help tugging at the hem of the other party's clothes: "Beast, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Hongfeng was startled for a moment, then quickly raised his eyebrows and revealed a slight smile, as if someone had stirred up a wave of light in the pool water, and the haze was covered by the wave, making him invisible.

"I was just thinking that it would be embarrassing and ridiculous for a man to seduce a man but pretend to be a woman. Look at my young master, I never hide it, I'm frank..."

Before the words were finished, there was a burst of thunder rolling outside the window, and the rumbling sound was like a landslide.

Liu Qian: "Let you talk nonsense, even God can't stand it."

The heavy rain was like a wild horse running wild, restless like crazy, with no intention of stopping at all.

The thunder came one after another, muffled at first, then louder and clearer, like a heavy hammer hitting the eardrum repeatedly.The light of lightning leaked into the room through the crack of the window, illuminating the world in one moment, and throwing the world back into darkness in the next moment.

Yingzhou Island is located on the shore of the East China Sea, and it is rainy all year round. Even so, such a heavy rain is still very unusual.

Yingge Tower is mostly empty.

Some guests hesitated standing on the porch, while others rushed straight into the rain and were drenched in an instant. Even so, they did not want to continue to share the room with the rotting corpse.

The sky is dark black, as if covered by a dense net, and a wide river hanging upside down seems to grow from the sky, pouring the rolling water to the ground.Yingge Tower is located in the depths of an old alley. The road in front of the gate was originally narrow and in disrepair, half-brick and half-earth. Now it seems to be a stream and swamp, the muddy water is covered with mud, and the bean-sized raindrops splash half Feet high, the agitation is endless.

The rivers and lakes are like this boiling swamp, as long as you step into it, you don't even want to get out cleanly.

A group of yamen servants accompanying Duan Changya were still wandering under the eaves, looking into the building from time to time, until Duan Changya waved to them, then reluctantly entered the house.

Duan Changya said: "The three lords are originally from the government office, I trouble you to restrain them."

Several yamen servants exchanged glances with each other, frowning and looking at the corpse on the ground.

Official positions are worshiped by living people, and people are nothing after death. Besides, these three officials secretly met to visit the kiln and died tragically in the kiln, which is really not a glorious thing.The yamen servant's face was full of impatience, and the yamen servant raised his head and said, "You should hold back, but where is the coffin?"

Duan Changya asked: "Is there a coffin shop nearby?"

The yamen servant shook his head: "It's three streets away, and it's raining so heavily, I'm afraid it's closed."

Duan Changya frowned, and when he was worrying, Liu Hongfeng said, "I just saw a few empty wooden boxes in the corner of the inner room, Aunt Cui, can you use them for the dead?"

Aunt Cui was startled at first, then quickly lowered her gaze, pursed her lips, showing a look of hesitation: "...those are boxes for women's clothes and jewelry, I'm afraid it will bring bad luck to your lord."

Everyone is dead, so there is no bad luck to be recruited.

Duan Changya said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be used."

"But... after all, it's a bad thing. If something happens, the slave family can't bear it."

Liu Hongfeng glanced between the two of them, put a palm on Duan Changya's shoulder, and patted it lightly, signaling the latter to keep silent.Then, he took out a few pieces of silver from the bottom of his wide sleeve and pressed them into Aunt Cui's palm.

Aunt Cui said, "Young Master Feng, what does this mean?"

"You don't know that if you put a woman's suitcase into the coffin, you can be reborn into a wealthy family in the next life. Not only is it not bad luck, but it is a good omen."

"This...how come I have never heard of this."

"Hey, I did hear it from the seniors of the big family. Could it be that I heard it wrong, right?" Liu Hongfeng said, winking at her, "Why don't you just keep the little money and treat it as a Do me a favor."

Aunt Cui was slightly taken aback, then put her messy temple hair back behind her ears, nodded and said: "Since Mr. Feng said it was a good omen, it must be a good omen. The woman is a little knowledgeable and ignorant, please don't blame me, Mrs. The slave family will ask someone to move it."

A smile floated on Liu Hongfeng's face, and said in a sweet voice: "Auntie Lao Cui is here."

Most of the guards at Yingge Tower had already slipped away, and the remaining few went to the inner room to carry boxes under Aunt Cui's instigation.

Aunt Cui carefully put the money into her pocket, and as soon as she turned around, she met Duan Changya's gaze.

Duan Changya's expression is always meticulous, even his eyes are sharper than ordinary people's.Aunt Cui shuddered on the spot as if she had hit the point of a knife.

Duan Changya asked in a deep voice: "You hired Miss Qinglan?"

"Yes, they were hired just the day before." Aunt Cui nodded repeatedly.

"Human life is at stake. Please tell the truth about this person's background."

"This..." Aunt Cui showed embarrassment, "Actually... I don't know much about it."

"The girl who picks up customers in your store, you never asked about her history, and you didn't even find out that she was a man in disguise?"

"She...he just came here yesterday and hasn't received any customers yet. You also know that these days people from all corners of the country gather in Yingzhou, and this small shop of this slave's house is also the first time it has received so many customers. I just want to hire a few more helpers. , I was negligent to lure a wolf into the house, it was definitely not intentional to seek wealth and murder, my son, spare your life, spare your life..."

The more she spoke, the more flustered she became, her eyes fixed on the sword case behind Duan Changya, her lips were tightly pressed, and the fat on her face couldn't help trembling.She has opened a small shop on Yingzhou Island for half her life, and she has never seen much in the world. Today's vicious attacks have frightened her out of her wits.

At this time, a hand fell on her shoulder.

It was Liu Hongfeng's hand.

Liu Hongfeng pinched her shoulder lightly, turned to Duan Changya, and said, "It's not easy for Aunt Cui to earn a living. She was impatient and misjudged the wrong person. That person is meticulous, insidious and cunning, and it's not something ordinary people can handle. After such a catastrophe, the business of Yingge Building may be in decline for a while, and Aunt Cui is also a victim, so don't make things difficult for her."

He spoke in an orderly manner, neither humble nor overbearing, a pair of eyes met Duan Changya, and there was no intention of avoiding him at all.

Duan Changya blinked, turned his gaze to Aunt Cui, and said, "I just asked to find out what happened, and I didn't intend to embarrass you. Although you are wrong, it is not a crime."

Aunt Cui's legs and feet were already weak, and she barely stood still by holding on to Liu Hongfeng's arm. She seemed unable to believe Duan Changya's words, and asked, "You...you won't kill me?"

"No, the sword of Tianji only kills the guilty."

"Thank you son for being generous..." Aunt Cui lost all her strength and almost collapsed into Liu Hongfeng's arms.

While comforting her, Liu Hongfeng followed Duan Changya's figure.

What a "only punish the guilty".

The upright figure of this person reflected in his eyes, and it was more vivid, like a statue chiseled out by a knife and an axe, no matter from which angle you look at it, you can see a different flavor.

Interesting, really interesting.

Duan Changya commanded a group of yamen servants to restrain the dead, and Liu Hongfeng heard his instructions from a distance: "...don't forget to record the details carefully after you go back, and then send people to leave the island as soon as possible to report to the officials in the Lin'an government office."

"But it's raining too much today, so I can't sail the boat."

"Then wait until the rain stops tomorrow, the sooner the better, there must be no delay."

His words were obviously not loud, but they penetrated into Liu Hongfeng's ears clearly, every word was as sweet as a string, and even the thunder could not cover it.

People with good voices are born to enjoy the preferential treatment of God.

Liu Hongfeng was fascinated, until Liu Qian stomped on his toes angrily: "Don't get angry, I feel sorry for you when I look at it. Young man of a dignified family, can you climb up?"

Liu Hongfeng shrugged: "It was originally impossible to get there, but the current situation is unpredictable, so I'm afraid he can't help it."

Liu Qian asked in surprise, "What's the current situation?"

Duan Changya sent a group of yamen servants away, at this moment he happened to turn around, came across to Liu Hongfeng, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your rescue today."

When Liu Hongfeng was called by his name for the first time, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and his eyebrows almost raised his eyebrows: "Where is it? It's just a little effort. It's my honor to serve Mr. Duan."

Liu Qian was about to vomit.

Duan Changya's expression remained the same, he nodded slightly, and said: "I have to go back to the door to report to you, so I will take my leave first."

"Hey, wait a minute—"

Before Liu Hongfeng could finish speaking, he had strode out the door and stepped into the torrential rain.

Liu Hongfeng's hand was hanging in the air, he missed the target, and hung down resentfully.

Liu Qian snorted from the bottom of her throat: "I said you can't climb, you still don't believe in evil."

Unexpectedly, Liu Hongfeng turned to him, and involuntarily gave an order: "Go back to the inn first and wait for me."

Liu Qian asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Hongfeng said: "Of course it's to climb people."

Liu Qian rolled her eyes: "I'll go with you."

Liu Hongfeng curled her lips at him: "That's not okay, young master, I'll find a man to have fun, what are you doing with me, a brat, do you expect you to light the lantern when you draw the curtain?"

"you--"

"Or is it that you have also taken a fancy to him and want to snatch him from me?"

"I like Xiangxiang Ruanruan's sister, who is different from your pervert!"

"Then why are you in a hurry? Let me tell you the truth, it's really the first time that Mr. Duan and I met. We met by chance."

"so what?"

"So he is definitely not your father, you should give up your heart."

"You..." Liu Qian was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, his face was flushed, and he cursed for a long time: "...that idiot is following you, you go to die, I don't care where you die." After saying that, she walked from the wall He took the umbrella, turned around and left, but he was caught by the opponent again on the shoulder.

Liu Hongfeng said: "You can leave, but leave the umbrella to me."

Before Liu Qian had time to complain, she felt her palm slip, and the handle of the umbrella seemed to turn into a swimming snake, somehow getting into the opponent's palm.

Liu Hongfeng was holding the handle of the umbrella with one hand, and the other hand was casually put on his waist. He tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.

Liu Qianbeng rose to a height of three feet, and tried to snatch it with the fastest speed, but Liu Hongfeng's dodging technique was better, the handle of the umbrella seemed to have taken root on his body, no one could snatch it away.

After a few rounds, Liu Qian didn't even touch the tip of her umbrella, and stomped her feet anxiously: "It's raining so hard, what do you want me to do?"

"You are young, and your legs and feet are stomping so loudly, you should run back by yourself."

"You, you, you, you are not as good as a beast!
