Chapter 348 Interrogation
Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan arrived at Gutian Village at nearly 1 a.m.
Seeing that the house was as quiet as usual, Liu Yi's heart that had been hanging around was also relieved. It seemed that the house had not been attacked by unknown attacks.
He handed the reins to Li Biao, who was guarding the gate, and told him not to make noise loudly. Liu Yiu and Gongsun Helan went to the backyard of Liu's mansion together.
"Brother, look, there seems to be someone in the room!" Gongsun Helan pointed at the top of the yard. Under the semicircular moon, a vague figure stood upright on the roof.
Liu Yiyi looked up and saw a figure jumping down from the room, falling a few times, and even approaching them.
Clean, neat, fast, and a master.
"Who?" Xue Rengui blocked Liu Yi and the others' way, and looked vigilantly at the two strangers who appeared in the backyard of Liu Mansion in the middle of the night, looking up and down.
"Who are you?" Gongsun Helan asked Xue Rengui at the top of his voice. Judging from his appearance, he wanted to go forward and fight Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui's actions just now had greatly aroused his interest.
"Xue Rengui?" Seeing the visitor's skills and age, as well as his defensive consciousness just now, Liu Yiu had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart. Calculate the day, Ma Cheng should come back from Shanxi.
"Boss?" Xue Rengui looked at Liu Yi carefully proof after hearing the person calling out his name.
"Well, I am Liu Yi, the person who asked Ma Cheng to go to Shanxi to invite you back, but you don't have to call me the boss. What I admire most in my life is a hero like Brother Xue. How old is Brother Xue? Let's be called brothers in the future." Seeing Xue Rengui there, Liu Yi's heart was completely relieved. Xue Rengui alone could be enough to defeat thousands of troops, let alone a few assassins hiding in the dark?
Xue Rengui carefully observed Liu Yiu and saw that he was calm and modest, with a calm and orderly tone, without a trace of panic, and it was not like a false act. But when he heard his tone, why did he seem to be complimenting himself? Is there a deception?
No matter what, Xue Rengui still bowed his hand and bowed to Liu Yian and said, "The boss is so serious. The villain has become a master. He rarely moves around the world. He is a hero. He is so sorry that he dare not be a hero. The boss should call me Xue Li."
While speaking, Xue Rengui took his body slightly back. It was obvious that he was still wary of Liu You and Gongsun Helan. He could see that the two people in front of him had outstanding martial arts. Before they were really sure of their identities, Xue Rengui would not dare to take risks with the safety of the Liu Mansion. He didn't know Liu You, who knew whether these two people were intentionally impersonated by the assassins?
Seeing Xue Rengui so careful, Liu Yi became more at ease. He is worthy of being a legendary peerless general. Although he is not successful yet, his quality is quite complete. Liu Yi smiled and said to Xue Rengui: "I know that Brother Xue still trusts me now, but it doesn't matter. The servants in the mansion know us two. You can just call one to identify it. Well, this is Gongsun Helan, and he can also be half the master of this Liu Mansion. You should become good friends in the future."
"He? Tsk!" Gongsun Helan looked up and down at Xue Rengui, raised her head and curled her lips disdainfully. Not anyone else is qualified to be his friend.
"Master! Master Helan!" Ma Cheng heard the sound outside and opened the door and came out of the house. He saw three people standing in the yard, busy greeting him without even having to wear clothes, bent over and greeted Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan, and asked Liu Yi: "Master, did you say you went to Chang'an? Why did you go to midnight...?"
"Oh, something happened in Chang'an, so I came back early. Well, nothing happened in the mansion tonight, right?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Cheng and asked him softly.
"No, everything is safe, please don't worry, Master," Seeing Xue Rengui standing on the side, Ma Cheng patted Xue Rengui's shoulder and replied to Liu Yi: "Master, this is Xue Li you asked me to find in Shanxi. We just came back in the afternoon."
"Xue Li, you don't sleep in the house in the middle of the night, why are you going out to do?" After reporting to Liu Yi, Ma Cheng generously scolded Xue Rengui. Just now, he saw Xue Rengui blocking Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan, and thought Xue Rengui had offended the two young masters in front of him.
"Master Ma, I can't sleep at night, so I want to come out to watch the night. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet the boss and this young master Helan come back," Xue Rengui smiled embarrassedly and explained to Ma Cheng and Liu Yi and others in a low voice. It's okay for Gongsun Helan, but Liu Yi is his boss. His performance just now seemed to have passed a little.
"Just just now, the villain was blind. It was midnight. I thought the boss and Mr. Helan were evil people. They offended him so much. I hope the boss and Mr. Helan will forgive me!" As he said that, Xue Rengui folded his fists and gave a gift to Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan.
Gongsun Helan hummed without saying anything. Although Xue Rengui's skills just now aroused his interest, they were far from reaching the point where he could pay attention to it. I really don't understand why the eldest brother looked down on him so much, and when he met, he wanted to call him brothers?
"It's okay, those who don't know are innocent, haha," Liu Yi went forward and held Xue Rengui's hand and said, "It's a blessing for my Liu Mansion to invite Brother Xue to come to guard the Liu Mansion. Let's talk in the house!"
Under the shocked expressions of Ma Cheng and Gongsun Helan, Liu Yiuan pulled Xue Rengui together and walked towards the study next to him.
Unexpectedly, the young master valued Xue Li so much, and would be like him as a brother? Ma Chengqiang swallowed and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he did not feel sorry for Xue Li on the road, otherwise he would have been afraid of being sad for the rest of his life.
"Ma Cheng, what is the origin of this Xue Li?" Gongsun Helan looked at Liu Yi's rare and enthusiastic look and asked Ma Cheng softly.
"I am a farmer, well, I should be considered half a hunter," Ma Cheng bowed and replied to Gongsun Helan in a low voice: "The young master heard from somewhere that he had some skills, so he sent a young man to Shanxi to invite him back to be the leader of the Liu Mansion's hospital guard, and he would be a two-month regular fee."
Speaking of this example, Ma Cheng was jealous again. He had been in the Liu Mansion for so long, only 90 cents a month. However, before Xue Li came, the young master gave him two stalemates. Wouldn't it be more in the future? It would be strange if he was not jealous.
You know, it is the butler of the Liu Mansion, who only lasts about 300 ounces per month. Ma Cheng doesn't think that Xue Rengui will have the ability of their butler.
"Farmer? Hunter?" Gongsun Helan frowned slightly. The eldest brother just wanted to hire a guard, so he didn't have to spend so much effort to invite a farmer back to Shanxi, right? He also hunter. Gongsun Helan once again curled his lips. Not to mention Chang'an, even in Sanyuan, there are many capable guards in there?
Weird, Gongsun Helan shook his head slightly and followed up.
Xue Rengui did not follow Liu Yi's study, but suggested that Liu Yi go to his own room. Under his bed, there was an assassin he caught in the middle of the night. The boss is back now and is just handing it over to the boss for handling.
"Official family, Young Master Helan, Manager Ma," he went into the house and lit the candle that had been burned halfway at night. Xue Rengui bent down and took out the black-clothed assassin from the bottom of the bed, threw it on the ground in the middle of the room. He patted his hands and looked at Liu Yi and the three of them with a smile, saying, "This was caught by the villain two hours ago from the roof, secretly, like an assassin. He wanted to hand it over to Manager Ma after dawn, but now that the boss is back, the boss will decide."
The man in black had already pulled off the mask by Xue Rengui. He curled his beard and had two mung bean eyes, his mouth opened and closed, and his two rows of yellow teeth were exposed. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was now opening his two small eyes and looking at Xue Rengui resentfully, as if he wanted to eat Xue Rengui in one bite.
"This, Xue Li, you caught the thief, why didn't you say anything?" Ma Cheng looked at the assassin on the ground and stepped back timidly. He was frightened by the fierce gaze cast by the assassin.
"Master Ma, just a little thief, the same is true during the day. Moreover, in the middle of the night, the villain didn't want to disturb the dreams of the master and the old lady." Seeing that the assassin was still playing ruthlessly, Xue Rengui kicked his body under the flesh. The assassin held his body and hummed twice, his face turned red, and he held back and did not scream.
Sure enough! Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Gongsun Helan, and walked towards the assassin on the ground.
The assassin was tied up and fell to the ground. When he saw Liu Yi and Gongsun Helan walking towards him, there was no trace of horror in his eyes.
"Ma Cheng, please stay outside," Liu Yiwai waved at Ma Cheng and whispered to him: "Don't let others come in, well, be careful to keep quiet, and don't wake up the master's wife and the others."
"Yes, young master!" He glanced at the assassin on the ground again, and Ma Cheng retreated with some palpitations. He couldn't help but secretly glad in his heart, "Fortunately, he invited Xue Li in advance, otherwise the Liu Mansion would be safe tonight."
"Thank you so hard, Brother Xue, please give me a bow!" Without rushing to interrogate the assassin, Liu Yipang respectfully gave Xue Rengui a respectful gift, for Lao Liu, Liu He, Liu Shanghui, and Chuchu and the children in her belly. If Xue Rengui had not been there today, it is still unknown how many Liu's mansion could survive now.
"Boss, are you...?" Unexpectedly, Liu Yi would come and go, so Xue Rengui hurriedly moved and asked the boss to salute him a servant. How could he bear it?
"Salary of the king and loyalty to the king. Since I have taken the money from my boss, doing these things is my duty. Don't do this." Xue Rengui reached out to help Liu Yiu up. To be honest, he did not feel that he had done anything great. After all, catching thieves and preventing stabbing is the purpose of the boss asking him to come, and it is his duty and duty.
"Okay, brother, now that the person has caught him, it's another survivor. We have to examine him first. The main topic is." Gongsun Helan squatted down, reached out and took off all the joints on the assassin's arms and thighs, then unbuttoned the belt on his body, looked up at Xue Rengui, and asked him softly: "Well, Xue Li, is there only one assassin coming?"
"Yes, Young Master Helan! There is only one, no one else." Xue Rengui didn't care about Gongsun Helan's rudeness. He cared about his boss and his attitude towards him.
Judging from the current situation, the boss is a good person to get along with, and he seems to value him very much, which is enough for Xue Rengui.
"If Brother Xue had not come, it would be enough for him to be alone." Liu Yi looked at Xue Rengui with gratitude again, and squatted down slowly, saying: "The mansion is full of old, weak, women and children, and most of the servants do not know martial arts. An assassin walking in the dark is enough."
Just thinking about it, Liu Yiu felt scared. He always felt that it was the Zhenguan Emperor and now it was the most rare peaceful and prosperous era in the history of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he was calm and obedient, he did not cause trouble, and did not cause trouble, he and his family should not be in any danger. Their Liu family could live well in this era.
But now, Liu Yiu knew that he was wrong. It was the Zhenguan period, but this period was not really peaceful.
Thinking about what happened after he arrived here, first Wang Shuai, then Li Tai, then Hou Junji, and now the assassin, which one of them is not the one who wants human life?
It's not safe here.
Liu Yiuan reached out to take the assassin's mouth, and finally took out a pill the size of rice from the gap between his back grooves. He looked at the assassin coldly, raised his hand and put his chin on him, then grabbed the belt that had just been thrown to the ground by Gongsun Helan, and stuffed it into the assassin's mouth.
"Brother Helan, don't you often say that you are the best at torture? Let's relax his muscles first." Liu Yi stood up and said to Gongsun Helan as if nothing had happened: "Be careful to keep a breath, well, and don't make too loud noises, so as not to scare your family."
