A ball of silk floss that had been prepared was stuffed into her mouth, and Ruyue could no longer make a sound. She struggled fiercely until all the blood flowed out, and her eyes slowly lost their light.
Xiao Feng's heart twitched violently, and the teacup in his hand fell to pieces and fell to pieces.
Zhang Wuxin, who was discussing with Xiao Feng how to practice internal energy, frowned, put his hand on Xiao Feng's wrist, and then let go of his hand with confidence.
"I thought you were getting lucky while talking and got carried away."
Xiao Feng shook his head. He was obsessed with practicing martial arts and now understood the principle. Neigong is an extremely complex method of mobilizing hidden muscles in the body and even the nervous system. Because it's difficult to master, mistakes sometimes happen.
Exterior muscles may cramp if exerted improperly, and of course hidden muscles will also cramp. It's just that these muscles are closer to the internal organs and brain. Once a cramp occurs, it is not as simple as falling to the ground and rolling around like a normal cramp.
Maybe it will really hurt the internal organs or the brain. Legend has it that going crazy leads to vomiting blood, but in fact, the internal organs are injured. Therefore, people who practice internal strength have always been very nervous about things like going crazy.
But the palpitating heart just now obviously had nothing to do with being possessed. To confirm this, Xiao Feng picked up his Xiuchun Dao.
"Come on, Wu Xin, pay me for practicing sword practice!"
The master is going to fight with Brother Zhang! The news quickly spread from Qiaoqiao to every corner of the mansion, causing everyone in the mansion to come to the small playground to watch.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but have a headache. Zhang Wuxin must have been able to hit him with enough strength. As Yu Dayou's master, if he loses too embarrassingly, Yu Dayou won't say anything, but he wonders if he will blame himself as his master for not living up to expectations.
Zhang Wuxin was holding the wooden sword he used to teach the Taoist boys of Wushiguan, obviously because he was afraid of hurting Xiao Feng. He humbly told Xiao Feng the reason.
"Brother Yu's swordsmanship can be retracted and released freely, and it is suitable for any sword. But I still have some inner demons. If I enter the sword-man state, I am afraid that I will not be able to control it and hurt Brother Xiao. Fortunately, Brother Xiao has been practicing martial arts. It’s still short, it doesn’t matter if I hold a wooden sword.”
These words were so modest that Xiao Feng rolled his eyes. They were too Versailles. The translation was, I can beat you with a stick, so don't worry.
Xiao Feng's fighting spirit was aroused, he pulled out the sword and threw the scabbard to the side with a very handsome gesture.
Xiao Feng's swordsmanship is very unique. It combines a bit of Qi Jiguang's swordsmanship, a bit of later Japanese kendo, and Yu Dayou's battlefield swordsmanship. It looks like a hodgepodge, but the most important foundation is Xiao Wannian's swordsmanship.
Although Xiao Wannian has never taught Xiao Feng, a nerd, seriously, Xiao Feng has been exposed to it and has seen a lot. Xiao Wannian's swordsmanship is relatively loose and free, and he pays attention to adapting to the enemy. He has a feeling of Dugu Nine Swords.
This idea of swordsmanship coincides with Xiao Feng, who has never practiced martial arts, but has practiced a lot of Sanda and admires Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, and he has shown good power.
After three moves, Zhang Wuxin had already praised loudly: "Brother Xiao, your sword technique seems to be haphazard, but in fact it has many changes. This is the beauty of actual sword technique! The footwork is also good, it is flexible and easy to jump out of. The art of fists and kicks is in the art of swordsmanship, good!"
Zhang Wuxin deliberately let Xiao Feng perform to his best, so he defended more and attacked less. Xiao Feng got up and used the Xiuchun Dao like a violent storm.
He had abundant physical strength and flexible steps. After all, the sword in Zhang Wuxin's hand was a wooden sword. He could only slap the back and sides of the sword, but could not block it from the front. He was a little confused for a while.
Seeing Zhang Wuxin jump up to avoid the knife, Xiao Feng shouted loudly, seized the opportunity, and swept away thousands of troops with one move. This move was definitely Yu Dayou's. 33
It's just that Yu Dayou relied on his speed and strength to force Zhang Wuxin to block, but Xiao Feng seized a good opportunity and happened to take advantage of Zhang Wuxin's body in mid-air, making it difficult to dodge.
In desperation, Zhang Wuxin mobilized his inner strength and swung his sword to block. With a snap, Xiao Feng's wrist was numb from the shock, and he almost lost his hand with the Xiuchundao.
Zhang Wuxin's wooden sword was still a wooden sword after all. No matter how strong Zhang Wuxin's inner strength was, he could not turn the wooden sword into iron. It broke into two pieces with a snap.
"shameless!"
An Qingyue, who had just walked in from the gate, happened to see this scene. She was so angry that Pingguo's face turned red, and she felt grievances for her senior brother.
Xiao Feng smiled and put away the knife without replying, letting the cheerleading team composed of Qiaoqiao, Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang surround him and cheer.
Compared to An Qingyue, who was panting with anger, Zhang Wuxin was actually very happy.
"Although this knife is a bit opportunistic, Brother Xiao's grasp of the timing is amazing. With Brother Xiao's skills, even if he goes out to travel around the world now, he is no match for ordinary people. It is indeed true that I have been defeated by your master and apprentice one after another. No injustice.”
Qi Jiguang, who was holding back his laughter, comforted An Qingyue in a low voice: "Captain An, you should be happy. Why are you angry instead?"
An Qingyue was stunned: "Why should I be happy?"
Qi Jiguang said seriously: "What do you think Xiao Fengcun is thinking? He has so many enemies, how can he rest assured without Zhang Wuxin protecting him in the house?
The faster he progresses and the higher his kung fu is, the sooner Zhang Wuxin can leave the Xiao Mansion. Otherwise, if he doesn't let Zhang Wuxin leave, can you still marry into the Xiao Mansion? "
An Qingyue blushed and spat at Qi Jiguang, but then she felt that what Qi Jiguang said made sense.
"Qiaoqiao, I hear you haven't been serious about practicing martial arts lately! Come on, let me teach you! Yunqing, Yingxiang, don't be idle, it's always good to learn more self-defense techniques.
What about that, Qiao Niang, do you want to learn? Where is Lan Niang? And Dad Lan, as a grown man, how can you behave if you don’t know how to punch and kick? "
People looked at An Qingyue in surprise, not only why she suddenly became more concerned about everyone's martial arts practice than Zhang Wuxin, a martial arts idiot. Only Qi Jiguang was smiling secretly beside him, until An Qingyue pointed the finger at his family.
"Uncle Qi An, you should practice too, otherwise if Qi Jiguang takes you to the battlefield, he won't have time to take care of you. You have to be able to protect yourself!"
Qi An was stunned: "I don't have to, Miss An, I have been a soldier and fought in the war. Besides, I am fifty-two years old, and I am definitely not good at wielding swords and guns..."
In the end, Xiao Feng coughed, stopping An Qingyue's overzealousness.
"Captain An, why are you such a busy man sneaking away before dark? You should be on duty at this time, right?"
An Qingyue looked at Xiao Feng with a smirk on her face: "So you haven't received the order yet? You have been promoted!"
Xiao Feng frowned. Before he could ask An Qingyue, Xiao Chunzi's voice came from outside the door.
"Master Xiao, please open the door. Our family is here to announce the decree."
Before Xiao Feng could speak, a group of people rushed forward and opened the door very skillfully. Recently, the door of Xiao Mansion has been opened more frequently, and everyone is familiar with it.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Luan Yiwei Xiao Feng, who is smart and virtuous, loyal to the country and dedicated to the country, is specially awarded to the right young minister of Dali Temple. I admire this."
This imperial edict was too short and the content was too exciting, making it enjoyable but not satisfying for the melon-eating crowd watching outside the gate.
The Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple was the third-in-command of Dali Temple and a fourth-rank civil servant. No one expected that Xiao Feng had just been kicked out of the seventh-rank Zhongshusheren, but he turned around and became a fourth-rank official.
Only Xiao Feng knew in his heart that this appointment had some hidden meaning. Sure enough, after Xiaochunzi announced the imperial edict, he walked up to him and announced an oral edict in a low voice.
"Long Live orders Mr. Xiao to take the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and temporarily take over the responsibility of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, and be responsible for investigating the murder of the woman in front of Xiao's residence."
Xiao Feng nodded to express his understanding. At the same time, he also understood the reason for this Dali Temple Shaoqing. He had to admire that Jiajing's IQ was indeed on the top.
Since Xiao Feng is asked to investigate the case, he must be given corresponding rights. Of course there is no problem in temporarily acting as Shuntian Prefecture Yin, but the problem is that Xiao Feng's only official position has been lost, whether as Luan Yiwei or Wen Xuan The identity of the real person is not suitable.
Therefore, first of all, Xiao Feng must be given an official position that is similar to that of Xiao Feng and cannot be too disparate. The last time Xiao Feng went to Shuntian Mansion to investigate the case as a member of the Seventh Rank Middle School, it was under Jiajing's order. He was a serious imperial envoy and had nothing to do with his official position.
But this time, because the matter involved the Yan family, Jiajing Ming said that Yan Song should make the decision, so he could no longer issue an explicit decree to let Xiao Feng be the imperial envoy, so the identity of Shaoqing of Dali Temple was just right.
Moreover, Jiajing clearly thought carefully and did not intend for this identity to exist only as a temporary one. It is already known to everyone that Xiao Feng can investigate cases. But it would be too troublesome if Xiao Feng had to deal with his identity every time he asked him to investigate a case.
Of the three yamen in the capital that have the power to investigate cases, the one most easily overlooked is Dali Temple. The Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty was not as prominent as it was in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it even felt a bit flat. For small things, there is Shuntian Mansion, for big things, there is the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple is happy and free.
Dali Temple can theoretically investigate cases, but in fact during the Ming Dynasty, it had become a civilian department responsible for reviewing the final results of cases. The most important task is to sign the death penalty review report.
In other words, without the signature of Dali Temple, the prisoner would have no chance of losing his head in the execution ground. Dali Temple also has its own police officers, but in everything, use it or lose it. Dali Temple has not investigated the case for many years, and the number of police officers has become smaller and smaller. There are only a few left waiting to die.
Jiajing gave Xiao Feng the identity of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which solved once and for all the identity problem of using Xiao Feng to investigate cases in the future, and this identity is quite free.
You can check if you want to, or if you don't want to, just like the previous Zhongshu Sheren, it is definitely a jack-of-all-trades position.
Xiao Feng was promoted, and the Xiao Mansion was naturally jubilant. Except for a few core members of the Yan Party who knew the reason, the remaining marginal officials were like mourning their heirs - why did this guy get promoted? Our little cabinet boss is still waiting. It’s spring!
Yan Shifan, who was waiting for Chunwei, had already satisfied his desire to kill. He picked another one of the unconscious women and took her to the front hall to serve her.
After a lot of torture, Yan Shifan looked up to the sky and screamed at the climax: "Xiao Feng, let's wait and see!"
Some people died, but not completely...
