Chapter 266: The Case in the City

As for Zhao Jin and his brothers who killed a hundred people, they were strong and fierce, this was not in the eyes of Xue Xiaozong. If you can have a hundred enemies, a large group of people would be dead. Moreover, there is also the power of the Kong family team this time, and the cavalry would naturally be ruined against the infantry. Zhao Jin and his young men who were less than 20 had no way to survive.

Everything was taken for granted, but the result was very unexpected. Zhao Jin not only survived the great victory, but also defeated the power of Yunshan Temple.

Xue Xiaozong also knew about the news about what happened next. He knew that Zhao Jin's elders mobilized more than 400 riders to rescue him. This force itself also made Xue Xiaozong take a breath. After the night battle in Hejiazhuang, the most powerful man on the ground in Xuzhou was Zhao Jin. Yunshan Temple was greatly weakened. He had such a great hatred with him, so it would be better not to stay too much. It is best to leave.

Thinking of this, Xue Xiaozong was also a little aggrieved. He felt that he was nothing wrong. His father Xue Chongxun丨is old and always wanted to make some money. However, he didn't expect that the world is getting worse and worse, and there are more disasters and more famines. It's always good to have more money in his hands and more strength. Originally, everyone thought that Xuzhou was in decline and he had to go outside if he wanted to develop, but Zhao Jin started a winery. He should fight for such a daily business of gold-making. Moreover, this winery is also related to the sorghum in Yunshan Temple, which was simply prepared for Yunshan Temple.

Thinking there, the door of the main hall was pushed open, a woman of outstanding beauty walked in crying and said, "Master, I didn't send a box of red gold jewelry inlaid with treasures before the New Year. I hid it at that time, but now I don't know where I went. It would cost more than a thousand silver. Master, I didn't even steal it from that black-hearted killer, check it now."

The more Xue Xiaozong thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. However, he was awakened by his wife and was shocked. When he heard about this, he stood up and slapped him in the face. He immediately stunned the crying woman.

"When is it time to take care of these things, and clean up all the fine and soft things that should be cleaned up. Don't bring other things, let's leave the city in the afternoon." Xue Xiaozong cursed angrily. He had made up his mind to leave early, and the sooner he left, the safer he would. Zhao Jin dared not move around when he left Xuzhou.

"Master, there are so many things that you don't have time to put into the box. The silk in the house in the north and the silver-fetal gold Buddha in our house also have to be made into a box." The woman cried and scolded her. As the son of the abbot of Yunshan Temple, there were not too many valuable goods around her.

Xue Xiaozong hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want it anymore. I'll take the gold, silver and the vouchers and receipts from Haizhou, Yangzhou. It's so delayed, leave quickly."

Hearing this, the woman cried and asked in horror, "Master, didn't you say that you would take a boat in Pizhou in three days? Why are you so anxious? If you don't take so many things, it's more than ten thousand."

Xue Xiaozong felt extremely irritable. When he heard his wife chattering, he couldn't help but want to do it again, but at this moment, there was a noise outside, and there seemed to be a scolding, which surprised both of them in the room.

"It's all useless messes, the busier you get, the more messy you get." Xue Xiaozong was too lazy to talk nonsense to his wife. He walked out and pushed open the door, shouting outside: "What's going on? If you don't move, are you itchy?"

Xue Xiaozong's inner house is a separate courtyard. The servants outside the main hall are busy cleaning up. Several of his confidant family members are staring at him. When he heard his angry scolding, his Changsui quickly greeted him and walked out quickly.

The people here went out, but the noise outside suddenly became louder. You could hear clearly in the inner courtyard, "It was you who blocked others, why did you make a rough sound there?" "What's wrong with Yunshan Temple? Monks can still manage the affairs of the city." In addition to this, there were also some filthy scolding.

This made Xue Xiaozong even more irritable. He thought that before Zhao Jin, even officials of the government level would be polite. Now that Zhao Jin is not in Xuzhou City, he can't even maintain the purity in front of his home. Before he could have an attack, he suddenly heard a few screams. Xue Xiaozong was stunned and wanted to listen carefully, but the noise outside was even louder, almost cursing at the top of his throat. It was very noisy to organize things in the inner courtyard, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

Could it be an illusion? Xue Xiaozong shook his head and waited for his parents to come back to ask clearly. Just as he thought of this, he had already returned. Compared to before he went out, Changsui's face was so pale that it was scary. Xue Xiaozong immediately knew the reason. A person with a low figure flashed out behind Changsui, and there were five others with him.

These six people were all wearing coarse cloth clothes, and looked like coolies carrying living on the street. They covered their heads and faces, only their eyes, mouth and nose were exposed, but they were holding three-foot-long straight bladed short knife in their hands.

Seeing these people appear, the maid and servant in the yard subconsciously screamed. The short masked man wiped his knife around Changsu's neck, and blood immediately spurted out. Changsu's body was thrown to the ground like a broken pocket.

"Shut up and lie down, or you'll end up with him," the short man roared in a low voice.

With this vivid example in front of me, the people in the yard seemed to be strangled and did not dare to speak out immediately. Even Xue Xiaozong was frightened when standing there. Yunshan Temple became bigger, Yunshan Xingyunshan Tower became bigger, and he did not do much to make money and kill money. Yunshan Temple's big move to Zhao Jin this time was also behind him. Xue Xiaozong had a lot of lives in his hands, but Xue Xiaozong himself had never seen blood, and he had never seen murder. Xue Xiaozong always felt that those who were tired of their hearts were the best. If these dirty things were done by the people below, there was no need to touch them.

So when he saw the dead, Xue Xiaozong was shocked incomparable and stayed there. After the short man glanced at the yard, his eyes fell on Xue Xiaozong in front of the door and rushed forward quickly.

At this time, anyone could see who the target of this group of masked men was. The maids in the yard were so scared that they were trembling and lying on the ground and did not dare to move. However, two stronger servants couldn't help but think about the short masked man rushing over and climbed forward quietly for a few times. As soon as they moved, the other masked men who were monitoring the yard moved immediately. The two walked over directly, took their swords and fell down. Now the whole yard became honest.

The short man was light and quick. Although the yard was large, the distance was only so long. He had already rushed to the front of him for a few steps. Only then did Xue Xiaozong realize that he instinctively wanted to escape. He was pampered for so long. Although he was the son of the abbot, he always regarded himself as a noble son of a noble family. He was inevitably unable to do anything. He turned around in a hurry, but tripped by the threshold and fell directly into the door before he supported himself. The short masked man had already arrived in front of him, kicked him in the chest, and kicked him down.

"I am Yunshan" Xue Xiaozong said halfway, and the other party's knife was directly placed on his throat. Xue Xiaozong immediately did not dare to speak, and then he trembled and wanted to speak again, "How much does it cost"

The short man used a little force to the short knife in his hand, and Xue Xiaozong froze again. The short man looked at Xue Xiaozong's wife who had been scared in the room, stared at Xue Xiaozong and said, "This is retribution."

Before he finished speaking, the short knife in his hand suddenly increased its force and pierced Xue Xiaozong's throat. He turned and stirred it, and then pulled the knife. Xue Xiaozong's eyes widened and fell straight to the ground.

When the knife was drawn, the short masked man had already flashed to the side, and blood splattered on his body. The short masked man ignored the scared and collapsed woman inside and just left with a knife.

"No one is allowed to look up, otherwise you will be killed." The masked men who maintained their support shouted with their swords.

If it were just now, there might be someone who was brave, there might be someone who was lucky, or they were just pure curiosity, but the two people were killed just now, this lesson is enough. No one dared to look up, and no one saw the masked man step out of the yard lightly. It was still his own life.

The masked man left the inner courtyard, and there were more than a dozen masked man outside, all holding knives and axes. The servants of the Xue family in the courtyard outside were also lying on the ground and did not dare to look up. Several of them had become corpses, and the blood dyed the land around their bodies purple-black.

The back door of the Xue family was half open, and the coachman and groom outside were no longer there. There were noises of fighting on the street facing the back door. In front of the Xue family's back door, there were two large trucks parked in front of the Xue family's back door. They were parked crookedly, but the back door was just inside. It seemed that the character of the coachman was cursing at the outside of the big truck. There was no idea what kind of goods were loaded on the car, and the goods were piled high, and the goods were covered with tarpaulin. The masked man lifted the tarpaulin and crawled in.

It was not until this time that he stopped cursing with his voice. The carriage turned around on the not-so-spacious street. After leaving this side, the gangsters on the other side of the street also stopped. The gangsters who beat people had dispersed. The blue-faced coachman and porter cursed and turned around, feeling inexplicably, and it was really unlucky.

Several carriages turned out from the street and walked towards the south of the city. It was normal for the carriages and horses from outside to get lost in Xuzhou City. The carriage stopped for less than a stick of incense in the south of the city. The carriage was leaning against the roadside and happened to be blocked in front of a house. The coachman went to the Shaocai stall to buy a few cakes.

The carriage just walked out of the city along the way. Xuzhou City was withering and withering. There were still many big ox and horse carriages coming in and out every day. No one would notice anything special. After the carriage left the city for more than an hour, Liu Yong walked out of the carriage that had been docked in the south of the city.

People who passed by this yard just now saw a gust of smoke coming out of the yard, which smelled very choking. I didn’t know what was burning inside, it seemed to be fabric or something.

Liu Yong walked out and looked around. A few children ran by with laughter, and a few old men leaned against the wall to bask in the sun. No one noticed. He turned around and waved his hand, and walked out alone with a big basket on his back. Liu Yong nodded and said, "I'll send it to the Shijia Blacksmith Shop. I'll say these knives are not easy to use, so I'll re-melt them. I'll go over and take a look at it in the evening."

The man nodded and walked out of the street with a big bamboo basket on his back. A few more people came to the door but did not leave the yard. Liu Yong looked back and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work today. Go to Qi Erkui to find Qi Erkui, and said I'll let you go and live there for a month. I'll do it when all the flowers are used."

The few people quickly bowed to agree, and one of them said with a smile: "How can you let Master Yong spend money? The young people have already paid a lot."

Liu Yong's face darkened and he said in a solemn voice: "You have been with me for a while, don't you know how to talk less? Go out of the city quickly, don't worry at home, I will take care of you."

Speaking of which, Liu Yong is younger than the few people in the sect, but when he had such an attack, those people were immediately silent. As for the meaning of taking care of the family, everyone can hear it clearly.

These people also walked out of the yard in batches, and they were not going in the same direction. When the people in the yard finished walking, Liu Yong walked slowly to the side and walked out of the alley. A gangster in the air followed.

"You go to Qijiazhuang to stay and see if all these people have gone there. Are you still at ease?" Liu Yong finished speaking on his own and walked forward. The gangster also turned around and left.

After walking a distance, Liu Yong looked back and wiped off the sweat from his forehead. He was not afraid of killing people, but it was difficult to keep it as confidential as possible and not leak information. He could only use as much mutual surveillance and restraint as possible to ensure that Liu Yong thought as he was, his elder brother must have thought it was too long-winded.

Liu Yong turned around while walking, and walked very carefully along the way. He was going back to the winery, but he deliberately walked away from the magistrate's yamen. Not far from the yamen, he called a street idle man and asked inadvertently: "Why is the yamen so deserted today?"

The idle man in Xuzhou City does not know others, so it is impossible not to know Liu Yong. When the so-called "Xiao Bayi" is not so famous, everyone has seen real people. When the name becomes bigger, others don't often appear in front of others, but Liu Yong runs in the market. The idle man and the people in the martial arts world are familiar with each other.

In the alley in the south of the city, the children and the elderly naturally did not recognize "Xiao Bayi". When they walked onto the lively streets, they took the initiative to dodge the roadside, and politely came forward to say hello. There were too many people.

The idle man was asked by Liu Yong, and he was extremely glorious. His face was filled with a smile and said humbly: "Mr. Yong, when will this official office be deserted?"

Halfway through the conversation, the idle man felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words and said, "How come it's not deserted? A large number of constables went to the north of the city just now, and many people wandering around the city were also mobilized. I heard that a big case happened in the east of the city. The little one was greedy for the warmth and purity here, so he didn't go to see it."

"Big case?" Liu Yong said subconsciously.

The idle man thought Liu Yong was surprised and couldn't help but mutter, "You don't know that when you leave the city, the ground in Xuzhou will be uneasy. We have to go to the place where you are, otherwise something will happen.

Liu Yong took out a silver bean from his arms and threw it over. The idle man immediately caught it with a smile and said repeatedly: "Mr. Xie Yong rewards it, Xie Yong rewards it."

This idle man has never dared to look up since he opened his mouth, so he didn't see that Liu Yong didn't look much shocked on his face. Liu Yong continued to walk around. There were several beggars begging there listlessly. Liu Yong took out a small string of copper coins and threw them down, causing the beggars to kowtow repeatedly.

Among Zhao Jin's partners, since Liu Yong was responsible for dealing with the three religions and other ancestry in the city, he always carried a lot of money, several pockets in his arms, small strings of copper coins, silver beans, and gold crusts. Although they were not big numbers, they weighed a few pounds in total. He just went to the Xue family to do things, and these things were stored in the house in the south of the city.

At this time, the Xue house in the backyard of Yunshan Travel had been surrounded by a large number of constables and policemen. The shopkeeper of Yunshan Travel in front and the family servants of Xue's family behind were being brought out one by one.

"Everyone knows who is involved in this house and who is the dead. They have a little bit of a proper way of doing things, and they are more careful. If something happens, I don't care about you." Xuzhou Chief Constable Chen Wu stood outside and shouted loudly, and the constables and servants who were entering and leaving agreed unevenly.

The one standing with Chen Wu was Zhao Zhentang. Although there was no clear statement, the yamen placed Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu in the same position.

After Chen Wu shouted loudly, he sneered at Zhao Zhentang beside him and said, "It's a good thing that the news of the monks in Yunshan Temple has not spread yet. If they know about it, they will not be able to control their own hands. I don't know how much wealth there will be in the house."

It is common for the constables to handle cases and take care of themselves, that is, everyone respects Yunshan Temple, so they are a little restrained.

Zhao Zhentang also smiled and said, "The camp has been sealed off from the garrison. They are dealing with the heads. And they want to make this a tough case, so they dare not let the news come out."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhentang laughed and scolded, and then said, "It was said that there was news that came to the city before dark. This kid was not as a son as a son. He didn't tell me anything, but he assigned him."

"Don't talk about this in front of me. It's okay if your family is one. My second child doesn't listen to me now and plans to keep accounts all day long." The two actually talked about family matters.

They were leisurely here and there were a few serious people there. Every time someone was brought out in the yard, they would ask, "Can you see the appearance of the murderer?"

Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu were not far from the people they asked about. Every time they asked, they would subconsciously glance over.

Most of the people who came out of the Xue family shook their heads and answered there: "I was forced to lie on the ground at that time and didn't dare to look up, so I could see it there."

Several people also answered silly: "The little one looked up and glanced at him a few times. The thieves were covered with their faces. How could they see clearly?"

Everyone passed it and it was said this. Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu looked at each other and nodded. Another detective came over and said, "Two elder brothers, Xue Xiaozong's wife was just crying there, saying that if the case could be solved, she would be willing to give it as much as possible."
