Eternal Sword

Chapter 5: Murder Night (Part )

It's cold tonight, with strong winds and heavy snow.

Cui Yong and Niu Er drank some wine and did not go on night patrol. They went home to sleep first.

Maybe I drank too much, I didn’t sleep well.

He just had a dream, as if he was hit by a club.

Cui Yong felt groggy and had a splitting headache.

Even a little suffocating and breathless.

He wanted to rub his head, but his hands wouldn't obey him.

"Ok?"

Cui Yong was startled, suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

He subconsciously wanted to turn over and sit up, but found that he was not on the warm kang at all, but was tied to a chair at home.

With his hands tied behind his back and his feet tied to the chair legs, he was completely unable to move.

With a rag stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't speak.

what happened?

Is there a bad guy in the house?

Robbery or revenge?

"Woo!"

Cui Yong struggled on the chair for a long time, exhausted and out of breath, but he couldn't break free.

The rope was tied too tight.

Cui Yong's nostrils flared and he breathed heavily.

The house was eerily quiet.

Repressed.

gloomy.

There was also a faint hint of murderous intent!
This feeling is so torturous.

Cui Yong opened his eyes wide and looked around. In the dark corner in front of him, there seemed to be a blurry figure.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Cui Yong wanted to ask who it was, but only made a series of humming sounds.

"bass……"

A sound of metal rubbing against stone slowly emerged.

Cui Yong's face changed.

He was most familiar with this sound.

This is the sound of a long sword being unsheathed and the friction between the blade and the scabbard!

Cui Yong was so scared that he turned pale.

He usually bullies the people in the village and acts tyrannically, and no one knows how many people he has offended.

For a moment, he couldn't even figure out which enemy came to kill him.

In Changze County, with Captain Cui protecting him, even if someone hates him to the core, they dare not touch him.

Who on earth dared to attack him?

The man was tall, dragging a shining long sword, and walked slowly out from the shadows in the corner.

The rustling sound made by the friction between the tip of the knife and the ground was like a death warrant from the underworld!
Cui Yong's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He forgot to breathe and was trembling all over, extremely frightened.

But when the person came closer and Cui Yong saw him clearly, his fear was reduced a little.

Chen Tang!

How dare this little beast come to my house when I was drunk!

What does he want to do?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Cui Yong stared at Chen Tang with an angry look, humming non-stop and shaking his body. If he hadn't been tied up with a rope, he would have pounced on him.

Dealing with Cui Yong is even easier.

Chen Tang took advantage of him being drunk and drowsy, sneaked into his home, knocked him unconscious with a scabbard, and tied him to a chair with a prepared rope.

Chen Tang looked at Cui Yong quietly, expressionless.

That look didn't seem like he was looking at a person, but more like he was looking at a piece of squirming meat.

After Cui Yong struggled until he had no more strength, Chen Tang slowly said, "Answer what I ask, don't talk nonsense to me."

"Why was my father imprisoned?"

Chen Tang took the rag out of Cui Yong's mouth.

"Chen Tang, you are so brave..."

puff!

Chen Tang stabbed with his knife, piercing Cui Yong's right leg through!
"Mmmmmmm!"

Cui Yong didn't get a chance to shout as the rag was stuffed into his mouth again, and he could only groan in pain.

“You got it wrong.”

Chen Tang said calmly.

The reason why he asked Cui Yong again was not to torture him, but to verify the information obtained from Niu Er and Cui Yong with each other, so as to get the answer closest to the truth and not be easily deceived.

Cui Yong was shaking with pain and sweating profusely. When he looked at Chen Tang, there was not only endless anger but also a hint of fear in his eyes, and his breathing became more rapid.

Chen Tang said: "It's the same question as before. I'll give you another chance."

This time, Cui Yong nodded repeatedly and looked much more obedient.

Chen Tang took the rag out of Cui Yong's mouth.

Cui Yong's eyes flickered, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "That day, Magistrate Sun asked us to go down and collect the money. When we got to your house, your father refused to hand it over and even hurt someone. This happened to alert Captain Meng who was patrolling nearby, so he was escorted to the government office."

"Alas." Chen Tang sighed softly: "I gave you a chance, but you are useless."

"I, I didn't lie."

Cui Yong hurriedly explained himself, but in his panic, he didn't realize that he had let the cat out of the bag.

"Niu Er and the others have already confessed."

After Chen Tang finished speaking, he stuffed the rag back into Cui Yong's mouth, stepped on the chair, and suddenly pulled out the long knife!

Blood gushed out and splashed on his face, but Chen Tang was completely unaware. He aimed at Cui Yong's other leg and poked it hard!
puff!

One cut brings blood!

"Mmmmmmm!"

Cui Yong was twitching in pain, the chair was shaking and making noises, his body was tense, he tilted his head back desperately, the veins on his neck were exposed.

"You don't have much chance left. I don't know where the next stab will land."

Chen Tang took the rag out of Cui Yong's mouth again.

"I said, I said!"

This time, Cui Yong didn't dare to play any tricks.

In his eyes, Chen Tang's face splattered with blood, in the dim light, looked like a devil from hell!
Cui Yong recounted what had happened from beginning to end, and his account was almost the same as what Niu Er had said.

Chen Tang said, "Tell me everything you know about your uncle and the county government."

"I know, I know everything!"

Cui Yong nodded repeatedly and said, "My second uncle can only be considered a distant relative of mine. We are not that close..."

Cui Yong told him everything he knew about his second uncle, including his background, martial arts skills, living habits, address, hobbies, etc.

He even told Chen Tang everything, including the fact that he had a mistress outside and her address.

Cui Yong also revealed a lot of information about the county government.

"Brother Chen, please, let me go. I won't dare to provoke you again."

Cui Yong was really scared.

He had never experienced such a scene before.

Blood continued to flow from the wound on the thigh, falling to the ground with a dripping sound.

It seems like it's right next to my ear, so clear!
If the wound is not treated, he will die from the blood loss alone.

"Let you go?"

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chen Daan is an honest man who just wants to live a peaceful life. Who of you let him go?"

Cui Yong said: "Your father died in the government office. I didn't kill him. It was the county magistrate who ordered his men to torture him..."

"County Magistrate Sun?"

Chen Tang grinned and said, "I will find him. None of you will be able to escape."

Seeing that his plea for mercy was in vain, Cui Yong became determined and ruthless, gritting his teeth and saying, "Chen Tang, if you kill me, my second uncle will definitely avenge me!"

"Ah……"

Chen Tang chuckled and said, "I'm just a useless person with broken fascia all over my body. Who would think of me?"

Cui Yong was stunned.

These words almost broke down his last psychological defense.

"My second uncle is a ninth-rank warrior appointed by the imperial court and the chief constable of Changze County... He will definitely find the murderer, and he will definitely find you!"

"It'll be easy for him to kill you, you can't escape!"

Cui Yong spoke intermittently, his mind was a little fuzzy.

Chen Tang pointed the tip of the knife at Cui Yong's chest and slowly applied force. At the same time, he leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I'll take you there first. It won't be long before your uncle will be downstairs to accompany you."

"puff!"

The tip of the knife pierced his chest.

"Walk slowly, so you can have a companion on your way to the underworld."

Chen Tang's voice, mixed with the creepy sound of a knife rubbing against flesh and blood, seemed to come from the underworld.

Cui Yong heard it clearly.

He looked terrified, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to shout, but found that no sound came out.

laugh……

He could clearly feel the cold blade slowly advancing into his chest!
With every inch of penetration, his body trembled.

Until the scarlet tip of the knife pierced through the vest and came out of the body.

Cui Yong stopped twitching, his head tilted and he lay motionless, dead.

Chen Tang took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair behind him. His face turned pale, and he tried to calm himself down.

Killed three people in one night.

It seemed like it didn't take much effort, but it was a huge drain on his mind and energy.

He is not as calm as he looks.

It wasn't until it was all over and the dust had settled that his hands began to tremble.

Naturally, he had anticipated this result.

Either don't take any action, just swallow your anger and live in disgrace.

If we take action, there will be no mercy!

Leaving him alive would only bring him endless trouble.

The whole process went quite smoothly, and he didn't even have a head-on confrontation with the three people.

Before going down the mountain, the guest in the mountain said that to deal with the officials in Changze County, it does not depend on your strength, but on whether you are ruthless enough.

He was right.
