Chapter 56 Killing! Liang Hu's whole body trembled and his face turned ugly. "It seems so." Seeing this, the old man nodded slightly and said lightly: "Little people also have little people's thoughts. People's hearts are really complicated." He took the booklet and started writing something while speaking. "Wuchang is a man with a strong murderous nature and hates evil, so it is only natural for him to kill Liu Yi." "Originally, if he killed Liu Yi in public, the Heavenly Guards would not be able to protect him. The City Guards would definitely hold him accountable, and the Liu family would want his life." "But what you didn't expect was that Wuchang's cultivation was too strong. When he chopped you with his sword, the ability he displayed was so overwhelming that Zhao Yuan, the deputy commander, lost his spirit on the spot and didn't even dare to take action." "With the deputy commander being forced to judge the case on the street, this malicious killing became an act that complies with the law and is an act of impartial law enforcement." "On the contrary, this Wuchang will be able to subdue Linjiang with one sword after today!" "You lose more than you gain. That's probably how it goes, right?"
The old man in light yellow clothes handed over the booklet in his hand and said, "If you have no objection, please give your handprint and hand it over to the Second Master." Liang Hu's expression became extremely complicated. In the past, he had a lot of contacts with the second master of the Liu family. But he is basically a member of the Liu family, and has dealings with a flag-bearing officer of the Tiantian Division. But once you press your fingerprint, this booklet will be a death warrant! Who is really willing to entrust their life and property to someone else? "It's okay if you don't press the fingerprints. Second Master won't make things difficult for you. Of course, he won't persuade the members of the Fourth House anymore." The old man took the book back and said calmly, "From the surface, today's incident has nothing to do with you. There is really no way to bring you to justice!" "However, the benefits you have gained in Linjiangfang over the past few years are enough for the Tianjian Division to kick you out." "Without your status as the flag bearer of the Tianjian Division, you are just a commoner. The people from the Fourth House will always find a way to control you." "You know very well that your martial arts skills alone are far from enough to save your life from the Liu family." Hearing this, Liang Hu reached out and pressed the booklet. From Qifeng Prefecture, he came to Gaoliu City and married his younger sister to the Liu family. After ten years, he was promoted to the position of flag bearer, and during these years, he was also in charge of two districts. The only mistake in his plan today was that he underestimated Wuchang's ability. He considered himself a smart man and knew the relationship between them. Today, the Liu family lost a life, and they must make up for it with a life. Liu Yi is actually not important. However, Liang Hu has strong inner strength and is the flag bearer of the Tiantian Division.
The Liu family actually did not lose out by having such an obedient dog. "Over the years, I have worked hard for you, Master. It seems like you still feel it's not enough." Liang Hu had a complicated expression, and said slowly: "What the Second Master wants is not an ally on equal terms, but a dog that he can drive at will." "If you put it too clearly, it won't sound good." The old man smiled and said, "Second Master is respectful to the wise and humble, even if he keeps a dog, he still pampers it." After saying this, he added: "Press your fingerprints, keep a low profile in the near future and don't show up." "Starting tomorrow, have your people gradually transfer all the dirty business in your hands to Wu Chang." "It's a business that can make money. It may be a little dirty, but who would complain about having too much money?" "But as long as he takes over these businesses, the Heavenly Supervisory Department, which is said to be monitoring the entire city, will regard him as a disgrace and kick him out." "Without his status as the flag bearer, even if he is at the peak of his inner strength, the Liu family can easily pin him to death in Gaoliu City." Then the old man put the booklet in his arms, with a very strange smile on his face. Seeing this, Liang Hu pointed to the house next to him with a blank expression. "After the demons attacked the city, there were many helpless children, and the granary took in a few of them." "The girl has been sent to a brothel for training." "The two youngest boys were left in the house, one aged six and one eight." "Knowing that Liu Yi is dead, the Second Master will ask you to come, so I have prepared it for you." Liang Hu spoke in a normal tone, and said slowly: "Don't kill anyone again, they are still useful and need to be used as gifts." "You can find a few more later." The old man disagreed and said calmly: "When you frame Wuchang and take away his position as the flag bearer, I will go to Linjiangfang in person and help you take off that kid's head alive!" "With your ability alone, Liang Hu, you can't even block a single blow from the other party. Even if he is no longer the flag bearer, you can't take him down." "If you want to vent your anger, you need my help." "I heard that this Wuchang is not very old and is a natural genius. I really want to taste him later..." The old man laughed and pushed open the door in front of him. The dim light of the candlelight illuminates it. Liang Hu removed the bandage and prepared to apply medicine to himself. But he found that the old man was standing in front of the door and did not go in for a long time. In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtyard became stagnant. Liang Hu couldn't help but reach out and grasp the newly taken knife beside him, his expression gradually becoming solemn. He stared at the old man's figure.
To be precise, he walked past the old man and stared at the dimly candlelit room. The old man suddenly stepped back and staggered two steps. Then he grabbed the railing beside him. There was fear in his eyes as he stared into the room. In the dim candlelight, one could clearly see a crossbow arrow piercing his throat. Relying on his physique that was close to the peak of internal strength, he was still alive and well and had not yet completely died. But at this moment, a long and narrow blade stretched out from the room and gently crossed the old man's neck. The knife was extended very slowly. It was so slow that the old man with an arrow in his throat could clearly see the tiny scratches on the blade after the collision. There was even a lingering smell of blood, seeping into the nose. "How does the blood of the fourth son of the Liu family taste?" Lin Yan's voice sounded quite cold: "How do you feel about facing death?" He stretched out his left hand, pressed the old man's shoulders, and stabilized his body. Then the knife in his right hand slowly cut the old man's throat. He even avoided the spot where the crossbow arrow would hit him. The knife was moved very slowly, so slowly that the old man could savor the taste. Looking at the fear and terror in the old man's eyes, Lin Yan did not have the slightest mercy. "Old pig-dog, this knife is clean and sharp. You got it cheap." Lin Yan cut off his head and looked at Liang Hu who turned around and ran away. Although Liang Hu was seriously injured and the wounds were close to his internal organs, in the current critical situation, all his strength burst out, almost like a real tiger. In an instant, he took two steps at a time, covered a distance of more than thirty feet, and suddenly jumped up, climbing over the courtyard wall. But before he could feel happy, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him. A crossbow arrow cut through the night sky. In an instant, he stabbed Liang Hu in the lower back. Lin Yan considerately avoided the area around his left and right kidneys. The arrow hit between the kidneys and pierced the lumbar vertebrae! Liang Hu only felt a sharp pain in his back, and he fell into the yard unconsciously. He fell heavily to the ground, covered in mud and dust.
Before he could struggle to get up, a foot stepped on the back of his head. Step on his face back into the mud. (End of this chapter)
