Chapter 427 [Borrowing Money Again]

The shadow subconsciously raised his dagger to block, and the next second the steel knife and the dagger collided. The uninvited guest secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost ambushed and killed with one blow.

But something unexpected happened. The expected scene of the dagger resisting the steel knife did not appear. Instead, the blade easily cut into the dagger, splitting it in two in an instant, and the blade continued to chop down with undiminished power.

"Pfft-"

Regarding this man's behavior of using a dagger to fight against the steel knife, He Sheng had only one thought in his mind: Do you think that the steel knife of the Captain of the Shadow Division is an ordinary steel knife?
Moreover, the Soul Breaking Slash is an amplification sword move that uses spiritual energy to attach to the blade, making the blade sharper. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can cut gold and jade. With the combination of the two, it is hard to tell who will win against an ordinary-looking dagger!
Do you look down on the weapons produced by Yingsi, or do you look down on Yingsi's martial arts?

Along with blood splattering, a right arm flew out.

"what!!"

The shadow retreated again and again, with his only left hand covering the broken right shoulder. However, the blood still flowed out uncontrollably. A strong smell of blood immediately filled the courtyard.

The instigator secretly said what a pity. If the dagger had not blocked it, causing the trajectory of his steel knife to deviate, he would have not only cut off the enemy's arm, but also cut his neck.

"Practicing Qi into the body?!"

The shadow spoke, his tone full of disbelief. Before coming, he knew the strength of the owner of the courtyard. The captain who was transferred from the strongman in the previous stage, at most, could bully ordinary people and gang members.

He hid behind the door and attacked, and he was always accurate. As a result, the eagle player got his eyes pecked by the eagle. Damn, I actually failed today.

"You are the one who committed a major crime in the neighboring Zhenbei County and created several bloody cases in Songlin County."

When the opponent's arm flew out, He saw that the palm was obviously larger than a normal person's, and there were calluses all over the hand.

It was probably due to years of grappling practice. Plus, the fact that he was holding a dagger and the victims were all killed by people who had their throats cut made this person's identity too obvious.

By the way, how did the wanted criminals in Zhenbei County choose him as their target?
"Mad black dog."

"."

He Shengting was speechless. The uniforms of the Shadow Division's people were either standard armor or casual uniforms. Those below the rank of 100 households were mostly black.

Only on special occasions, when performing special tasks, would they change into clothes of other colors, such as when serving as a guard of honor. Over time, the gang members began to call the people of the Shadow Division black dogs.

"bass--"

He didn't continue talking nonsense, but stepped forward and rushed forward, raising the bloody steel knife in his hand again.

"Shadow Killing Sword Technique" - Thousand Eyes Slash!

The steel knife in his hand swung rapidly, and with the help of the spiritual energy in his body, the steel knife slashed rapidly, and the blade was everywhere within a five-foot radius. In just three seconds, he slashed twelve times almost instantly.

The twelve knives formed a knife net, covering the wanted criminal.

There was a wall behind him and twelve blades in front of him. There was really no way up to heaven and no door into the earth. However, facing the dead end, the wanted criminal suddenly jumped into the air.

With a whoosh, he actually jumped into the air.

"boom--"

The blade net scraped the soles of the wanted criminal's feet and cut the wall into pieces.

In response, the man surnamed He smiled.

As he raised his free left hand, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"Pfft!!"

"Puff-"

The wanted criminal fell to the ground, with a short arrow stuck in his throat. If you look closely, you can vaguely see a little green mixed in with the oozing blood.

The Flying Kite Crossbow, the standard weapon of the Shadow Division Captain, is a folding arm crossbow that is usually hidden in the sleeve and has a range of a hundred steps. It is most powerful within thirty steps. Even a master who specializes in horizontal training kung fu can still be defeated within ten steps.

Moreover, the arrows were coated with a highly toxic poison developed by a certain department of the Shadow Division - the Green Scale Poison. It was a toxin extracted and refined from a species of snake called the Green Scale Snake, and its effect was extremely fast.

This wanted criminal who committed many murders in a row, his face turned green within a few breaths. It was obvious that the poison had entered his body and was rapidly corroding his internal organs through the blood.

"You never thought I have a crossbow!"

Do you really think that the equipment of our film company is as poor as that of a wanted criminal like you who hides everywhere? Do you understand the value of the equipment?

Don't even think about buying the armor and crossbow on him. If you buy them privately and they are discovered, your whole family will be in trouble.

Of course, the current strength is not as strong as before, and there are many wealthy families who privately store armor and crossbows. The problem is that they dare not take them out and use them openly. Unless they are ready to fight with the court, otherwise everyone is still very low-key.

After a moment, the wanted criminal kicked his legs and stopped breathing completely.

He walked forward and looked carefully.

What came into view was the face of a middle-aged man. Unfortunately, I had never seen the wanted poster, so I couldn't tell whether he was the guy for whom a reward of 500 taels of silver was offered.

But, they are pretty much the same, there are too many overlapping features between the two.

He stretched out his hands and began to feel the body up and down, and soon he pulled out a few banknotes and a booklet.

"The Great Stonebreaker?"

Wait a minute, if he remembered correctly, his boss's boss, General Liu, had a subordinate named Wang Xiaoqi, who was the Wang Xiaoqi mentioned during the casual conversation within the team during the patrol not long ago.

This person's family martial arts is the "Big Stone Opening Hand".

There were spots of blood on the book.

Got it!
Wang Xiaoqi must have been murdered.

Then he counted the banknotes again.

"Um?!"

There were more than 500 taels of silver notes in total, plus some small silver notes worth more than 30 taels. The amounts of the silver notes were very interesting. One tael, five taels, ten taels, fifty taels, and even a silver note worth a hundred taels. It was obvious that they were looted from the victim's home.

In addition, there is a list. A list of the Shadow Guards, including the centurions, general flags, small flags, lieutenants, and strongmen.

Behind each person’s name, there was a detailed assessment of their ability, home address, whether there were elderly people at home, a wife, children, etc. It was like looking in a mirror for him.

"No wonder."

Let's not talk about the list first. According to the address above, Wang Xiaoqi's house is the closest to his courtyard. The other party killed Wang Xiaoqi and probably went straight to him.

If he didn't have the "Future Forecasting System", he would have to end the copy directly and explain the first time in this copy.

More importantly, he was too sensitive to the smell of blood. If he hadn't noticed it in advance and the wind hadn't brought the smell of blood, he wouldn't have been killed, judging by the strength of both sides. But he might have been injured, and it's not impossible that he would have to stay in bed for a while.

All in all, the combination of various factors led to this wanted criminal who had committed many murders finally falling into disgrace and dying a rather miserable death.

"bass--"

He quickly left the courtyard and hid the things on hand. The fight between the two of them just now must have alarmed the neighbors, so there was no way he could hide the body.

When the time comes, the captain of the Shadow Division will come to search the house. He may have to share most of the spoils.

Don't think that the small flags and the general flags can't do it. Who wouldn't be jealous when seeing hundreds of taels of silver notes? What if others didn't find the money?

What the hell is going on?

If there is nothing, there is nothing. Who can force him to confess his words and actions?

Now that Wang Xiaoqi has died, there is a vacancy in the Shadow Division. With his Qi training and the power of the silver note, he is able to fill the position from the captain position.

Unless someone wanted to compete with him, three hundred taels of silver would be enough to fill the vacancy of a small flag, or at most five hundred taels. He didn't believe that there was really a lieutenant who could come up with five hundred taels of silver.

"boom!!"

The door was kicked open from the outside, and a team of eleven fully armed captains wearing Shadow Division armor led by a small flag broke in.

"That boy, throw the knife to the ground."

Among the eleven people, two of them pointed crossbows at him and shouted.

This type of crossbow arrows is different from arm crossbows and is more powerful. Not to mention that he is just a captain who has practiced Qi into his body, even the general flag has to hide and dare not easily get hit by an arrow.

Even the strongest captain in the captain's office would be cautious when seeing seven or eight people holding crossbows. Of course, the crossbows could pose a threat to them, but they didn't necessarily hit them. It still depended on who was using the crossbows.

"Don't be impulsive, he is our brother." When the leading flag officer saw the familiar standard armor, he immediately raised his arm to signal his men not to act rashly.

If his subordinates accidentally shot their own men to death due to a mistake or emotional outburst, he would never be promoted to the rank of general commander. The stain of accidentally killing a colleague was too great to bear.

"Li Xiaoqi, it's me."

He knew the leader, whose surname was Li and whose given name was Shen. The patrols had been so frequent in recent days that they would occasionally run into each other during roll call. The entire team had not yet arrived, so when they did, they would inevitably exchange a few pleasantries.

"He Sheng? What's going on?"

Li Xiaoqi was completely relieved and took the initiative to press down the crossbows held by the two captains.

"Don't worry, he is a lieutenant under Zhang Xiaoqi."

"Li Xiaoqi, this person may be the wanted criminal who has committed several murders in the neighboring Zhenbei County and Songlin County recently."

The man surnamed He sheathed his knife, walked up to them and pointed at the corpse on the ground.

"Hmm? Are you talking about the guy who specializes in killing yamen runners, constables, and film lieutenants?"

"Yes, my colleagues mentioned this man when I was on patrol today. His palms are huge and full of calluses. His arms are bigger than those of an average person, and his bones are strong and powerful. You can tell at a glance that he has good martial arts skills.

In addition, when this person ambushed me, he was hiding behind the gate and holding a dagger in one hand, which fits the description of the victim who had his throat cut in the murder. With so many features overlapping, who else could it be but that person? "

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but nodded, thinking it made sense.

"Five hundred taels of silver, you want to get rich."

After a few greetings, everyone began to search for the body and investigate the scene. After they finished recording everything, He Sheng, the victim, followed everyone and left for the Hundred Households Office.

After nightfall, he returned to the yard looking somewhat tired.

I have to patrol tomorrow, so I need to find someone to repair the wall during the day. I cooked a hearty meal, ate and drank enough, and started practicing Tong Xuan Jue.

In a blink of an eye, it was midnight.

[Advance payment options: "Shadow-killing Blade Technique", "Tongxuan Jue" (minor success). ]

【Number of advance payments available: 0. 】

[Repaying: "Tong Xuan Jue" - 24/1000. 】

"It will be fine tomorrow. Once I kill this guy, he won't be on patrol every day, so I can take some time to fish."

The most urgent task is to repay the advance payment for the "Tong Xuan Jue" as soon as possible. Then advance your own efforts in the future and grow like a snowball.

"I guess the film director has already discovered that Wang Xiaoqi is dead."

Of course, Wang Xiaoqi was in charge of night patrols. If there was no roll call at the appointed time, a lieutenant would usually go and check.

"Tomorrow, we have to present silver to the captain."

Regarding the death of the wanted criminal who had committed bloody crimes many times, the leader of the Hundred Households Office, the Hundred Households Lord, must meet with him according to the convention.

"I don't want to pay for the money. I want to make up for the shortfall."

What?

Of course, I would go to the Black Tiger Casino and borrow some more money.

If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.

The IOU will have to be destroyed sooner or later, so just borrow some more money.

"This is a broken way."

It must be said that the Gu Yu Kingdom deserved its demise and fragmentation.

Times are tough!

Forget about natural disasters, there is nothing anyone can do about it; but man-made disasters are just the result of officials sitting in their positions doing nothing.

I got a general idea of ​​the wanted criminal when I was at the Hundred Households Office.

The cause of the incident was that the dog raised by Mr. Zhang in Zhenbei County bit the wanted criminal's father to death in the street. As a result, the constable in charge of the case, in order to please the Zhang family, said that the father was deliberately blackmailing.

Afterwards, he led a group of men into the man's home. His mother was old and had some chronic illnesses. The group of men kicked the door open and came in with a ferocious look, frightening the elderly woman to death.

What's even more cruel is that after scaring someone to death, in order to avoid punishment, they actually faked the scene and said that an old woman who could barely walk attacked them. So, they had no choice but to fight back.

It's just... quite speechless!

This is not the way to frame someone.

Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?

After that, he naturally succeeded in subduing the "ferocious" old lady.

At the end of the matter, all the fertile land in the wanted criminal's family was awarded to Mr. Zhang as compensation for the old man who was killed by the vicious dog. No, that's not right. According to the statement given by the Zhenbei County government, it was compensation for the old man's malicious blackmail on Mr. Zhang.

The wanted criminal is a bodyguard. In ancient times, one can imagine the strength and temperament of a person who could escort a bodyguard. When he returned home and learned about his parents' experience, he was furious and wanted to do something evil.

Mr. Zhang didn't expect to kill him. The guards of the rich families were much stronger than one could imagine, especially during the precarious dynasty. Not to mention the guards, the mansions alone were like fortresses.

So, he successively killed all the yamen runners and constables involved in the incident. There were more than one family-killing case that was widely spread outside, but more than a dozen!
In one night, he killed more than a dozen people in a family. He is a ruthless person.

Finally, he fled to Songlin County, but his hatred for the public was still unabated. He could not help but commit crimes one after another.

If the detective in charge of the case had not done the hellish things that happened later, the whole family would not have been exterminated. There must have been someone who was unwilling to go along with the evil. However, the escort still killed everyone who came into contact with him without saying a word.

"Hey~~~"

With a sigh, he put on his casual clothes and went to the Black Tiger Casino.

I won’t borrow much this time. It shouldn’t be difficult for a small flag of the seventh rank to borrow five hundred taels, right?

Not difficult!!
About an hour later, He Sheng returned home happily with the warm five hundred taels of silver in his arms and went to bed. It seemed that the Black Tiger Gang could not be destroyed for the time being, and there was no rush to destroy the IOU.

When the general flag is raised, you can make a big fortune. There is nothing more satisfying than getting a free ticket from someone else.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of general flags for the time being.

When will a more ferocious villain come to Songlin County and help him clear a way out?
