Chapter 22 South Street Butcher
A strong man whose face was almost covered by a beard broke into the school room.
Lu Qubing was stunned for a moment.
He knew this man. He was a thief in the county, a Qihu, and he was called a beggar.
He was accompanied by some casual officials and soldiers, all armed with swords.
Qi Lou Nan or his curly beard are so recognizable that many students actually know him.
Kou Liu, who had just walked out of the house, was so frightened that he could not move.
The beggar's eyes were searching among them, and his light green eyes were like those of evil wolves, making people feel frightened.
Among many students, he locked his target.
He was not tall, but quite strong. He didn't care about the mud on the ground, and walked in front of the man in a few steps.
He laughed.
"Lu Jun, please come with us."
"ah??"
A commotion quickly arose among the students. Everyone was whispering. Taozi lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.
Qi Lou Nan or said again: "It's like this. We caught a thief at night and said he stole your things. Please help us identify him."
Lu Qubing's face looked ugly, but he still nodded.
"good."
He glanced at Taozi and then at the other students, "I'll be right back."
Qilou Nan or Lu Qubing walked away from here through the mud. The old official who delivered the meal was quite surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The law school room was quiet, and the students didn't say a word.
The atmosphere became a little strange. The less they spoke, the more depressing it became, as if something was weighing down on them and they couldn't breathe.
Liu Taozi was still as usual, eating rice and drinking soup.
Kou Liu didn't know when he squatted beside him.
He lowered his voice.
"What's going on? How was last night?"
Taozi was stunned, "What happened last night?"
Kou Liu pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to have an attack, so he had to lower his head and continue eating.
"It's not a bad thing to give way to Chacha as a scapegoat. None of these scoundrels are good people anyway."
Taozi narrowed her eyes and still ignored him.
At this moment, Lu Qubing was already sitting in the car, which was just an ordinary carriage. Qilou Nan was sitting opposite him, and there was a casual official sitting next to him.
Lu Qubing then asked: "Why are you arresting me? You might as well tell me directly."
"Hahaha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"It's not that I'm arresting Mr. Lu, I just have something I want to ask."
As Qi Lou Nan said, he looked outside from the car window.
Lu Qubing noticed that there were soldiers running past the road, and the whole street was deserted.
"Mr. Lu is at odds with Dr. Fat from the county school?"
"There is indeed discord."
"Then where was Mr. Lu last night?"
"Sleeping in the county school."
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
"Liu Taozi, a student from the law school, can testify."
Qi Lou Nan nodded gently, "That's good, that's good."
The two of them were speechless again, and the carriage arrived all the way outside the county government office. Begging for a building or taking the road to get sick, they got out of the carriage. It was extremely noisy here.
The gates of the county government offices were open, and people were coming and going.
Some people cried loudly and were escorted into the county government office by the soldiers, while others were carried out. Many people gathered outside.
Lu Qubing had never seen such a lively scene in the county government office.
When Qilou Nan or Qu Bing led the way in, it became even more lively inside.
Several people had faces full of horror and were describing the situation over and over again.
"There should be five people! No! At least six people!"
"Everyone uses sharp knives!"
"I was sleeping soundly at that time, and I rushed out when I heard the exclamation."
Before Lu Qubing could finish listening to what he said, he was led deeper into the house by the beggar.
Qilou Nan led Lu Qubing all the way to a remote house, held his hand, and brought him in like he was entertaining a friend.
This room has no windows, and the door is extremely heavy. It is dark, cold and damp inside, and exudes the stench of blood. There is no furniture, and various iron chains are hung on the walls.
It was difficult for Qi Lou to let everyone wait outside the door, so he closed the door again.
At this moment, Qi Lou could not breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Lu, don't blame me. I did it as ordered."
"There has been a big incident in the county. Anyone related to Fei Zongxian must be invited to come and talk. This is a necessary errand. I know you are not a bandit, so please don't blame me."
"Thieves?"
Lu Qubing was even more confused, "What happened?"
Begging Lou Nan lit a candle, got a mat from somewhere, and invited Lu Qubing to sit down.
He pulled his hair and said tiredly:
"In the early morning, bandits attacked Fei Zongxian's mansion."
"I was the first to go."
"Tsk, that scene must have been horrific. I wonder who Fei Zongxian provoked."
"Those thieves are really cruel, vicious and outrageous!"
"They climbed over the wall from the south courtyard and killed all the big dogs, guards, and domestic slaves they met along the way. The thieves fought their way into Fei Zongxian's bedroom. Fortunately, Fei Zongxian did not sleep alone.
, and three guards."
"A patrolling knight broke in and scared off the thieves."
"The three guards in the house were hacked to death trying to save Fei Zongxian. Fei Zongxian was stabbed three times. Fortunately, he was thick and did not die on the spot. He was rushed to the hospital."
"Although the man woke up, he seemed to be frightened out of his mind. He couldn't ask any questions and all his feces and urine came out. He only kept muttering 'human head'."
Lu Qubing's eyes widened, and even his mouth opened.
"How could this happen?"
Qi Lou Nan smiled bitterly and said: "I can understand him. You didn't go there, so you don't know how bloody the scene was. These thieves are simply heartless!!!"
"Those bodyguards and entourage who were hacked to death were almost all chopped to pieces. He wasn't killing people, he was just chopping meat!"
"Anyone who stood in the way of the bandits was chopped into pieces."
Qilou Nan grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and squeezed it in front of Lu Qubing.
"That's it. He doesn't look like a bandit, he looks like a butcher who chops meat!"
Lu Qubing's face was pale, his lips were blue and white, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
"There are really more and more strange things happening in these days. First, it was said that there was a group of thieves outside the city who were eating people, then there were reports that many women were missing in the city, and then there were reports of people having affairs with officials' maids and murdering officials, and now there are reports
Such things."
"There are thirty-eight people in the mansion, nineteen of them died and one was injured. Those in the side courtyard are just lucky and have never encountered bandits, otherwise they would have died."
"This is the end of it for me!"
He patted his forehead and looked at Lu Qubing again.
"It rained heavily last night, and the thieves attacked suddenly. The surviving guards had never seen the thieves. The knights couldn't tell how many thieves there were. To be able to kill so many, there must be at least five, right?"
"We haven't found any evidence or clues. The county government is in a state of chaos!"
"No, I was asked to arrest people early in the morning. All suspicious persons who have had any problems with Fei Zongxian will be arrested."
"His servants said that Mr. Lu had some issues with him. Logically speaking, he should be escorted over for interrogation. You have also seen the situation here."
Qilou looked around.
"It's just that I know Mr. Lu's character. When the county magistrate was indiscriminate and insisted on driving you out of the county government office, I was very angry!"
Lu Qubing was still in a daze at the moment, just nodding his head blankly.
"That's why I went there specially to ask you a few simple questions so that you wouldn't be humiliated."
"I admire a gentleman like Mr. Lu the most. If I lose my life this time, I hope Mr. Lu can help take care of my family."
Lu Qubing's mind was really confused at the moment.
The young man had never experienced anything so terrible in his life.
The darkest thing he had ever seen in the city was when the county magistrate hinted that they would find someone to blame, and then excluded him after being questioned by him.
He had never heard of such things like breaking into other people's houses in the middle of the night, washing the houses with blood, and chopping people into pieces.
The two were chatting when a familiar voice came from outside.
"Where is he? How dare he come to our county school to arrest people?!"
Hearing this voice, Qilounan frowned, muttered, and hurriedly led Lu Qusheng and walked out of the house.
It was Cui Mou standing outside.
Several officials stood in front of him with their heads lowered, allowing him to scold them.
This celebrity, who was usually calm and approachable, was extremely irritable at the moment. When he saw Lu Qubing being brought out, he hurried forward.
"Rongzu? They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Lu Qubing was stunned and shook his head.
Cui Mou looked at Qilou Nan, who was smiling with a smile on his face and did not dare to neglect him at all.
"How dare you embarrass the people under Cui Gong? You are just asking questions as usual."
"Oh, if you dare to step into the county school again, I will chop off whichever leg goes in first!"
Cui Mou took Lu Qubing and left quickly.
Qi Lou Nan still smiled and did not dare to refute.
After the two of them left, some officials came forward and said, "It's difficult to beg for a building. He has a wine bartender to keep him on the road. It's not like we don't have anyone, so why let him go?"
Qilou Nan was furious, "You bastard? How dare you humiliate Mr. Lu?!"
The casual official lowered his head, feeling very aggrieved.
Wasn't this nickname the first one you said?
You usually treat him with disdain, why did you suddenly change?
Qilou Nan looked at the direction in which they were leaving and remained silent.
Three days ago, he was ordered to greet the new county magistrate.
When the new county magistrate saw him, the first thing he asked was: Is there an official in the county who calls Lu Qubing?
