"Boss, there's something really wrong with these people who buy servants!"
On Xiangshi Street in Huaishufang, Huzi looked at Yuwen Jie in front of him with admiration and whispered:
"Just look at the merchant named Liu whom Lao Zhang and I just worked with. He is a small traveling businessman from out of town. He only has one room in Hexi City and he actually bought fifteen servants. Not to mention other things.
I can’t arrange this accommodation.”
Previously, in order to find out the situation, Yu Wenjie deliberately ordered several people to disperse and follow him, but he didn't expect that something could be found so easily.
"Well, let's write down the problematic areas first, and then go back to the Yamen and report to the Master later. The reward will be indispensable by then."
Yu Wenjie nodded lightly, with a smile on his lips.
It is enough to be able to detect these without encountering danger. Anyway, what they want above are just clues, and it is no longer their turn to take care of the next thing.
Just when a few people were thinking about how to spend the reward money, the shouts of many people suddenly came from the distance.
"Killing! Killing in the street!"
"Run! The beggar killed someone!"
…
Hearing the panicked shouts, Yuwen Jie's expression changed, and he immediately tightened his grip on the handle of the knife. If he dared to kill people on his land, he didn't take the patrols like them seriously!
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Yu Wenjie gave instructions in a deep voice and ran towards the source of the sound.
Running at full speed, several people quickly arrived at the scene.
This place is at the junction of Huaishufang and another neighborhood. There are many merchants and restaurants. But what happened now is one of the restaurants.
At this moment, the restaurant was in a mess. All the diners had fled away. There were large pools of blood everywhere on the ground. There were as many as five people lying in the pool of blood.
It is easy to tell from the clothing of the deceased and the vaguely visible faces that the five dead people were the four errand boys and the shopkeeper in the store.
The murderer, holding a blunt knife, stood in the middle of the hotel lobby with his head lowered. His dirty and bloody hair hung down, making his face unclear.
Yu Wenjie's face was extremely ugly, and the joy of discovering the clues was instantly diluted.
Five people were killed and injured in his own jurisdiction. This was a large-scale human life case. If he was criticized by his colleagues, he would be blamed for the unfavorable inspection.
"The dog hozen dares to hurt people in grandpa's territory. He is so tired of living. Let me take him down."
Yu Wenjie gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, then waved his hand behind him, and several patrol members immediately stepped forward with their swords in hand. Several bright sword lights directed towards the murderer in a daze.
As Yu Wenjie's right-hand man, Hu Zi naturally took the first place.
Although the murderer looked familiar, he couldn't care too much at the moment. When the official arrived, many people gathered in the distance waiting for the result. If they didn't take him down quickly, their old faces would be lost.
Bang ~
The sharp blade struck the murderer, but it made a dull impact. There was blood flowing out, but not much.
The moment the blade of the blade came into contact with the human body, Huzi felt as if what he was cutting was not the human body, but a solid piece of wood. The simple knife, which had seven or eight points of force, only cut less than an inch.
"Iron Shirt?!"
Huzi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned the blade and slashed at the murderer's neck with all his strength. Blood flowed down the blade, but it also did not cut deeply.
Several patrolmen hacked at him in disbelief, and soon the man was bleeding till he was dripping with blood, but the murderer still did not fall.
"What the hell are you doing? Do you need so many cuts to subdue a dog hozen?"
Yu Wenjie, who was waiting behind, couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and urged him a little impatiently.
"Boss, this guy seems to have practiced Iron Shirt. We can't cut him in with our swords!"
Facing the captain's question, Huzi could only turn around helplessly and explain.
But the moment he turned back, the wooden man-like murderer suddenly raised his head, and the next second, the several patrolmen who took action finally saw his face clearly.
This person turned out to be the beggar I met earlier in the Earth Temple!
"Tiger beware!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, several people subconsciously retreated away. One of them still had some loyalty and stretched out his hand to pull Hu Zi away, but he was still a step too slow.
The blunt knife turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the soft abdomen in the blink of an eye.
Huzi's pupils dilated, he turned his head with difficulty, and saw the old beggar's confused eyes with a hint of hatred.
"It's you!"
Thump~
The old beggar pulled out his dull knife, pushed the tiger out of the way, and walked unsteadily toward Yu Wenjie and the others step by step.
"Damn it!"
Yu Wenjie was startled, a flash of anger flashed across his face, and he immediately drew his knife and pounced.
This old beggar is obviously weird, but so what, he will still bleed if he is stabbed, and if he bleeds too much, he will still die!
As a descendant of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Jie's martial arts skills were naturally not comparable to those of ordinary patrol soldiers.
In less than a minute, the old beggar had more than ten shocking wounds on his body. Every step he took would leave a small pool of bright red blood on the ground.
But even so, Yu Wenjie's face did not show a trace of relaxation. Instead, his expression became more solemn as he fought.
This old beggar bled so much that a normal person would have died long ago. But not only did he not die, his speed was getting faster and faster, and several patrolmen who came to help were seriously injured.
He couldn't go on like this. The restaurant was too small to move around, so he had to be led outside to an open area to find a rope to tie him up.
"Old Zhang, I'll hold him back first while you go and tie up the rope outside."
"good!"
After receiving the order, the patrolman Lao Zhang did not hesitate and responded quickly and ran towards the door.
It can be seen that when Lao Zhang was about to leave, the old beggar abandoned the struggling Yu Wenjie and withstood the chop of the blade, blocking Lao Zhang's way. The speed was so fast that no one expected it.
"ah!"
Looking at the blunt knife coming towards him, Lao Zhang couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a scream!
However, the expected pain did not come. When he carefully opened his eyes again, Lao Zhang saw a scene he would never forget.
The sharp edge of the blunt knife was only three inches away from the tip of his nose, but it never cut off. Several wooden chopsticks penetrated many joints of the old beggar, holding him firmly in place.
A beautiful woman appeared in front of the restaurant, playing with a broken wooden chopstick in her delicate white hands.
The visitor was Chai Jiangcui who was passing by. The previous inspection had eliminated a lot of small fish and shrimps trying to cause trouble. I was planning to find a restaurant to rest for a while, but I didn't want to bump into this incident.
Peering with his spiritual eyes, Chai Jiangcui could clearly see that the old beggar had no life left in him, and his whole body was filled with a faint aura of mysterious death.
To be precise, this old beggar has died a long time ago, and what keeps him alive is nothing but evil magic.
"Thank you girl for coming to the rescue."
When Yu Wenjie saw that the crisis was over, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly put away his knife and bowed to Chai Jiangcui to thank him.
"Thank you, Heroine, thank you..."
Lao Zhang, who had narrowly escaped death, finally came to his senses and was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly. However, he was clumsy and could only say a few words back and forth.
Seeing Lao Zhang blushing and excited, Chai Jiangcui just smiled and reminded:
"No need to be polite, you should go and see your injured companions first. Their situation is not very good."
