"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Which turtle son, bastard, evil-minded bastard, threw two heads in front of my shop?"
"Two innocent ghosts are blocking the door. It's extremely unlucky!"
"Who dares to invest in a store? How can I run my business?"
"My dear guests, please get up quickly and take a look. Which of you, the reincarnated hero of the evil star, is the one causing trouble to the shop?"
Then came the innkeeper, cursing and wailing in the lobby downstairs with a mournful face.
He suspected that the hotel guests had provoked revenge from his enemies, so he shouted resentfully toward the guest room upstairs.
The customers in the store had long been awakened by the inhumane screams of the waiter. At this time, they had finished dressing and washed, and were rushing down to watch the fun.
Only the timid ones heard that two bloody heads were placed at the door of the inn. They were all so frightened that they hid in their rooms and did not dare to come out. They secretly vowed never to stay in this inn again.
"What a bastard, can you still let me have a peaceful sleep after making so much noise so early in the morning?" Niu Dawa cursed and walked down the stairs, frowning with a dark face and feeling very irritable.
He was woken up while sleeping comfortably.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately turned to Niu Dawa with a mournful face and shouted: "Oh, my grandpa Hei, please come down and have a look, there is a huge murder case. You have a golden eye and an ear to listen to all directions. You will definitely find out at a glance. You can tell who committed the crime."
But he muttered in his heart: "Maybe it was you, the black evil star, who caused the disaster."
Zhang Xiaozu carried Zhou Jianlai on his back and followed Niu Dawa downstairs.
"Oh, is this gentleman still drunk?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise as he looked at the two of them.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and smiled bitterly: "I'm drunk."
Last night, a group of four people stayed in the store. Because Ye Mingyue looked so charming, the shopkeeper was particularly impressed by the four of them.
At that time, when he saw Niu Dawa carrying someone on his back, he asked casually and replied that he was drunk. He didn't pay much attention to it because drunk customers often came to the store to stay.
But the night had passed, and Zhou Jianlai was still drunk and did not tell him that he was not allowed to lie on the bed to rest. Instead, he had to carry it with him when he went downstairs, just like a rare treasure for fear of being stolen.
This abnormal behavior made the shopkeeper suspicious, but he did not step forward to question him. Having been doing business in the imperial capital for 20 to 30 years, he knew very well that more things are worse than less things and that misfortune comes from words.
So he just secretly memorized the faces of Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozhu so that he could have an answer if the official at the Yamen Gate asked about them.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Let me see where the head is?"
Niu Dawa raised her voice and wanted to see the fun. She pushed through the guests who were blocking the door to watch the fun and went out. As expected, she saw two bloody human heads in front of the stone steps at the door.
One was knocked over by the waiter from the brocade box and rolled to the side. It was a man's head.
Another brocade box was opened by someone who was brave enough to find a woman's head lying face up inside, with a pair of frightened and desperate eyes staring into her eyes.
"How brave!" As soon as Niu Dawa's eyes fell on these two people, his eyes widened with anger and he shouted like a thunder.
The crowd watching around him was so frightened by his thunderous shout that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats, and their eyes immediately focused on him.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost ran out and cursed. He slapped his thigh hard and cursed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's you, the black evil star, who caused this disaster!"
"Pawn, come out and take a look!" Niu Dawa shouted into the inn.
Zhang Xiaozu had not yet walked out of the inn, but his subtle state of mind helped him see the two heads in front of the door, and then he stopped and froze on the spot.
He had long expected that the man with the goatee who was collecting debts from his uncle's house would not give up, otherwise he would not have sent someone to follow the four of them to the inn yesterday.
To be honest, he was even vaguely looking forward to the goatee man's revenge, and wanted to know what tricks the goatee man could pull off.
But he never imagined that the goatee man's methods could be so cruel.
He had obviously promised him that he would not embarrass the family of three again, but he killed the person with a smile and even cut off the head and brought it to him.
Only now did Zhang Xiaozu know that the moment the goatee man readily handed over the IOU, he had already sentenced the family of three to death.
The goatee man was taunting and provoking him with two living lives.
Aren’t you going to act chivalrously and help those in need?
Don’t you want to protect this family of three?
What now?
Can you keep it? !
Zhang Xiaozu seemed to hear the arrogant and domineering laughter of the man with the goatee.
Staring at those two pairs of unblinking eyes, Zhang Xiaozu suddenly felt that he had killed them.
If he didn't mind his own business, the worst thing would be that their daughter would be captured and taken to the uncle's house to work as a maid to pay off the debt, and her life would be far less likely to happen.
But he took care of it, and ended up killing them.
It felt as if he was their murderer.
In a daze, Zhang Xiaozu was a little confused and couldn't figure out what this meant?
Did he really do something wrong?
However, there was one thing that Zhang Xiaopou was extremely sure of, and that was that the goatee man's revenge was so successful that he almost exploded with anger.
Then, it was his turn to fight back.
Someone else might have just gritted his teeth, because the man with the goatee would definitely not leave evidence of the murder, so you know clearly that he was the one who killed the person, but you can't find the evidence and there's no way for him to plead guilty and be punished.
He may even be unscrupulous, appear in front of you arrogantly, and sarcastically and ridicule you.
Because he has the uncle's government to rely on him, as long as there is no evidence that he committed murder, he has the capital to be arrogant.
Even if he is found, there is nothing he can do about it.
However, the man with the goatee had all his calculations, but he failed to realize that Zhang Xiaozu was a reckless man.
Zhang Xiaozhu doesn't need evidence at all, just knowing is enough, because after he catches the person, there are many ways to make him bow his head and confess.
He started walking towards the door again.
The people blocking the door immediately moved out of the way, because they suddenly felt a biting chill from Zhang Xiaopou, which made them unable to suppress the fear in their hearts.
When he came outside, Zhang Xiaozu first handed Zhou Jianlai to Niu Dawa, then squatted down and picked up the man's head into the brocade box.
"stop!"
"Don't destroy the scene of the murder!"
Suddenly there was a shout from outside the crowd, and then a policeman with a sharp knife at his waist pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in.
This person's name is Wang Wu.
He was given the nickname Kuai Dao Shen Zhu.
Nai is the chief arrester at the yamen gate.
Zhang Xiaozu ignored him and put the head into the brocade box, then closed the two brocade boxes and held one up with one hand.
"Good boy, didn't you hear what I said?!" Wang Wu was so angry that he shouted loudly.
At the same time, he had already made a calculation in his heart, knowing that the two dead people must have something to do with the young man in front of him.
Zhang Xiaozu held a brocade box in each hand. He stood up and looked at Wang Wu who came angrily. He said in a shocking voice: "I know who killed him."
Wang Wu was suddenly startled.
If you are frightened by Zhang Xiaopeng, you are even more frightened by Zhang Xiaopeng.
He had seen Zhang Xiaozu's portrait, so he recognized Zhang Xiaozu's face as soon as he saw it.
Just when he was having breakfast at home, he couldn't help but uttered Zhang Xiaopou's name a few times.
I beg Zhang Xiaopeng to calm down for a while, but don’t make any big scene again and make them, the weaklings at the yamen gate, clean up the mess.
Around five o'clock yesterday afternoon, he received instructions from the county magistrate and led a group of brothers to clean up the battlefield by the Anchun River in the southern suburbs of the city. The tragic scene almost scared him and the group of brothers to wet their pants.
As soon as he recognized Zhang Xiaopou, he subconsciously searched around, and sure enough, he found Niu Guangmao, the other person responsible for the Anchunhe massacre.
His face immediately became bitter, and he was really afraid that something might happen. Just now he was talking about these two people at home, begging them to stop, but he never thought that he would fall into the hands of these two people when he went out.
"This is so unlucky." Wang Wu felt sad in his heart.
Looking at the brocade box containing human heads that Zhang Xiaozu was dragging in his palm, his face was almost wrinkled with pain. Without even thinking about it, these two heads must be extremely hot, and whichever one got the wrong one would be unlucky.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaopeng sneered at him and said, "I wonder if you have the guts to catch me?"
When Wang Wu heard Zhang Xiaopou's tone, he couldn't help but his eyelids jumped in fear.
He was just a small catcher at the yamen gate, and there were countless people in the imperial capital who could crush him to death.
How dare he, how dare he have the courage?
Those brave head catchers in front of him were all invited to tea by the Lord of Hell.
So when faced with Zhang Xiaozu's cynicism, he simply looked at his nose and his heart, pretending not to hear.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xiaozu did not embarrass him and said, "Just follow me and be a witness. Excuse me, how to get to Uncle Guo's Mansion?"
As soon as Wang Wufu heard the words "Uncle Guo's Mansion", his legs almost lost control and ran away.
He was extremely glad that he had not been provoked by Zhang Xiaopeng just now, so he beat his chest and went to catch the prisoner, otherwise he would be in trouble now.
When the crowd of onlookers heard these three words, they immediately exploded.
"Young man, be careful what you say, and be careful of the danger that comes from your mouth." A well-meaning person quickly reminded me.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense. My uncle is a great philanthropist. There is no one in the imperial capital who has not received any favors from him. How can I allow you, a child with a dirty mouth, to slander me?!" Some people scolded him on the spot.
This person instantly received nods of approval from many people, which shows that Uncle Guo's reputation in the imperial capital is really good.
"It can't be true, right?" Some people remain rational and take a wait-and-see attitude.
"Go on!" Zhang Xiaozu threw the two brocade boxes containing human heads in his left and right hands to Wang Wu.
Wang Wu exclaimed "Ouch", took the brocade box of human heads in his hand, and asked Zhang Xiaopeng with a mournful face: "Master Zhang, do you really want to go?"
"Of course I want to go!" Zhang Xiaozu said without thinking.
"Go-what are you going for?" Wang Wu asked, trembling.
"Pay back your debts, pay for your lives by killing people!" Two cold gleams shot out from Zhang Xiaozu's eyes.
Immediately, his eyes softened, and he looked at Wang Wu and said, "Don't worry, just show me the way. You don't need to step in when you get there, just stay away and watch."
He was afraid that Wang Wu would be involved, and that Wang Wu would end up like the head in the brocade box, dying without knowing how he died.
"Then - I will accompany Mr. Zhang on a trip." Wang Wu gritted his teeth and said.
After saying that, he held the brocade box with two human heads in his arms and walked towards the east.
Zhang Xiaopou held the knife in his hand and followed him.
"——" From the corner of his eye, Wang Wu caught sight of the Hanguang Bone Knife in Zhang Xiaopou's hand behind him, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "He is really a ruthless man. He even dares to come to the uncle's house with a knife."
However, he felt relieved when he thought that Zhang Xiaopou was protected by the murderer Zhang Butcher. He thought that if he had Zhang Butcher protecting him, he might be crazier than Zhang Xiaopou.
"Boy, stop!" Suddenly someone jumped out from the side of the road and blocked Zhang Xiaopeng's way.
"Is something wrong?" Zhang Xiaozu looked at the person blocking the road and asked with a frown.
"My uncle is unparalleled in benevolence and is respected by thousands of people. How can you come to the door with a knife and offend?" The person blocking the road scolded with a serious face.
"Brother, have you heard of a man named Zhang Xiaopeng in the past two days?" Wang Wu stopped and turned around to ask the person who blocked his way.
Although the person blocking the road was puzzled as to why Wang Wu suddenly asked this question, he still nodded and replied: "Of course. Yesterday afternoon, by the Anchun River outside the southern suburbs, this man and his brother Niu Guangmao massacred nearly a thousand martial arts masters. It is said that the blood flowed It dyed the water of Anchun River red."
"Oh, you are quite well informed." Wang Wu said, pretending to be surprised.
"It's not bad. I have many friends and I'm always well-informed. I also know that the murderer Zhang Tufu fell from the sky yesterday, and the two of them are very supportive of this." The person blocking the road raised his lips slightly, unable to hide his pride.
"Haha——" Wang Wu curled his lips and sneered, and asked: "Did your friends tell you that the people you stopped right now were Zhang Xiaopou and his brother Niu Guangmao?"
