"Two Star Pills per person, don't be nagging, I don't have the patience."
Butcher Zhang raised the big knife in his hand and sang a tune to the wind, urging the six people to do it. There was no trace of a master's demeanor in his body, and he looked like a bandit.
If anyone who knows Butcher Zhang is here, they won't be surprised at all to see his behavior, because robbery and extortion have always been his specialty.
Without any hesitation, Fang Zhouzi immediately took out two small and exquisite transparent jade boxes from the void space and placed them on the ground in front of him.
Each jade box contains a magical elixir that shines brightly.
This was the first time Zhang Xiaozu saw the Star Pill. As soon as his eyes fell on it, he felt like he was sinking in. Then he saw a bright starry sky right in front of him, as if he could pick off the stars by raising his hand.
Fang Zhouzi put down the Star Pill, and then looked at Butcher Zhang imploringly.
His severed hand is still hanging on the ground. If the muscles become necrotic over time, it will no longer be possible to put it back on.
Butcher Zhang snorted and dispersed the pressure.
Fang Zhouzi hurriedly picked up the severed hand, used the power of the stars to brush off the blood and dust on the broken wound, sprinkled it with bone-regenerating and muscle-building elixir, and then carefully put it back on the broken wrist.
"Senior Brother Fang, you should say one." Bing Liangchen took out two star pills from the mustard seeds with a painful look on his face and muttered unconsciously.
He felt that if Fang Zhouzi replied to Butcher Zhang that he only had one Star Pill, Butcher Zhang would most likely agree, and each of them would be able to save one Star Pill.
"——" Fang Zhouzi heard Bing Liangchen's mutterings and was so angry that he almost pulled away the severed hand that had just been cut off. He immediately scolded unbearably: "If you hadn't smashed down the door, how could there have been anything?" So many things?"
Bing Liangchen was not happy when he heard this, and jumped to his feet and shouted: "You said you wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Fang Zhouzi's face turned livid from being choked, and he cursed: "You are just a spoiled, ignorant, arrogant, domineering, and trouble-making person. If I stay with you, I will be killed by you sooner or later. I won't stay with you anymore."
After scolding, he snorted angrily and left in the air.
"Fang Zhouzi, stop for me!"
Bing Liangchen jumped and shouted at Fang Zhouzi's retreating figure, but Fang Zhouzi ignored him at all, and the figure disappeared from his sight after a while.
"I'm furious!"
"I'm furious!"
Bing Liangchen was so angry that he roared repeatedly. He was scolded all over his face, but he didn't reply. He was so angry that he wanted to tear Fang Zhouzi into pieces.
Feng Yiqu and the others watched Fang Zhouzi and Bing Liangchen quarrel with each other, and they were so embarrassed that they wanted to pretend they didn't know these two people.
"Pawn, take the pill." Butcher Zhang ordered, then turned and left.
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't wait to go forward to collect the pills. At the same time, he was secretly speechless. He thought that he was indeed a disciple of Wentian Sect. They were all so rich that it would take three to five drops of holy blood to exchange for one star pill, but he could easily take out two of them. pellets.
Little did he know that the two Star Pills were as precious as flesh and blood to the disciples of Wentian Sect, otherwise Bing Liangchen and Fang Zhouzi would not have turned against each other.
…
At night, after dinner, Du Chengbi called Du Keyi to the study.
The disgraced appearance of Feng Yiqu and others in front of Guowei Mansion in the morning made him question the strength of Wentian Sect, so he anxiously asked Du Keyi about the situation.
But Du Keyi was kept in the room by Wang for the whole afternoon, and Du Chengbi was so angry that he wished he could ask the family law to come out and teach Wang a lesson.
The grandfather and grandson sat down in the study. The quiet environment made them both a little cautious.
Although we have been exchanging letters over the years, sitting face to face still feels strange.
However, after a few words of greetings and greetings, Du Chengbi let go of his restraint, because he found that Du Keyi was exactly the same as in the letter, shy, obedient, and without the airs of a Wentian Sect disciple. "What did your mother say to you?" Du Chengbi asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"My mother said she was bullied and asked me to avenge her." Du Keyi replied.
Du Chengbi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Although he had already guessed that Wang would accuse him in front of Du Keyi, he still couldn't help but get angry when he heard it, and snorted: "Your mother spoke so freely that she almost caused our whole house to be ransacked. Zhan, Your Majesty took the opportunity to threaten me. I was forced to agree to the marriage between you and Zhou Jianlai, which saved the lives of everyone in the family. I didn't let your father kick her out with a divorce letter because she wanted to give birth to you. For the sake of meritorious service, if not, how could we keep her?"
Du Keyi smiled and said: "Grandfather misunderstood, my mother did not file a complaint against you. She said she was bullied by a woman named Ye Mingyue and asked her daughter to go find that woman to avenge her."
"Really?" Du Chengbi asked in disbelief.
Everyone can nod with certainty.
Du Chengbi suddenly sighed and blamed himself: "It's my fault that grandpa was incompetent and couldn't protect your birthday card, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things."
"Grandpa, there is no need to blame yourself or worry. I will get the birthday stickers back." Du Keyi comforted him.
"My granddaughter is still capable." Du Chengbi praised, but thinking of how powerful Zhou Jianlai was during the day, he quickly reminded: "That Zhou Jianlai is really impressive. You have to be careful when fighting him."
"He is indeed good." Du Keyi raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Do Chengbi glanced at the closed doors and windows warily, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I thought everything would go smoothly today, but I never expected that-"
He didn't say anything, but Keyi understood it and responded: "Everyone thinks so, but who would have thought that he would be kicked on the iron plate?"
There was a smile in her voice and she sounded happy.
Du Chengbi looked at the smile on Du Keyi's face and was a little confused.
He glanced warily at the closed doors and windows again, then lowered his voice again and asked: "Keyi, do you think Su Hanlin has a chance of winning if he challenges Wentian Sect?"
Du Keyi shook his head and said: "The power of Wentian Sect cannot be competed by a mere empire."
Du Chengbi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly: "Do you think that if Su Hanlin insists on fighting Wentianzong to the death, is it possible for our family to—"
He might not have said anything, but he could still understand it if he knew it.
Du Keyi stared at Du Chengbi's burning eyes full of ambition, his expression became serious for the first time, and asked: "Grandpa, will you listen to what I say?"
"Of course." Do Chengbi replied without thinking.
"You should put away your unnecessary greed and ambition and be your prime minister." Du Keyi said slowly.
"——"
…
The rotting corpses in the mountain col on the west side of Qinan Mountain have been cleaned up by the county government officials, but a few days have passed and the nauseating rotten smell is still permeating the mountain col.
I don't know whether it was because the smell in the mountain col was too bad, or because the evil spirit was too strong, even wild animals began to walk around the mountain col.
Especially at night, it becomes increasingly gloomy and dead.
Today is the twenty-fifth day, and only a faint starlight shines on the mountain col in the night, adding a bit of horror to the already gloomy mountain col.
Wang Wu held his sharp knife and leaned on the trunk of a towering tree on the outside of the mountain col. His field of vision could overlook most of the mountain col.
He spent the past few nights in this tree, waiting for the owner of the amber jade pendant to appear.
This case was transferred to the Criminal Department by Huo Pingfan on the same day because too many people died and the nature was too bad.
Not only did the murderer massacre the village inhumanely, but he also massacred disabled veterans who had made military exploits for the empire. Once the murderer was caught, he would definitely not be able to escape the punishment of Ling Chi.
Wang Wu didn't dare to hand over the amber jade pendant, and he didn't tell anyone because he knew that if he told it, Huo Xingwu would definitely be arrested and put on trial. And with the Ministry of Punishment's handling methods, Huo Xingwu would definitely not be able to hold it for even half an hour. You have to make a pledge to plead guilty.
He didn't really care whether Huo Xingwu died or not. What he cared about was that Huo Pingfan, a man who really worked for the people, was implicated in his work, so he wanted to find out whether Huo Xingwu was responsible for this case.
Waiting for the murderer to show up here is the stupidest and best way.
He had already let people know that people from the Criminal Department and the Yamen were conducting a comprehensive search of the crime scene. If the murderer dropped something at the crime scene, he would definitely be found.
The result spread from word to word: People from the Criminal Department and the Yamen already knew that the murderer dropped something at the crime scene, so they began to conduct a carpet search, believing that they would soon find the murderer's belongings and catch the murderer.
Wang Wu knew Huo Xingwu fairly well and felt that with Huo Xingwu's IQ, if he heard such news and he was really the murderer, he would definitely come to Yupei.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night. Wang Wu had closed his eyes and dozed off. Suddenly, a rustling sound woke him up from his half-asleep.
He followed the sound and saw a figure hunched over the grass in the mountain col, looking for something.
This man was obviously guilty of being a thief and was afraid of being discovered by others, so he didn't even light a torch or lantern, and only relied on the weak moonlight to illuminate.
Wang Wu immediately became energetic, gathered his strength, quietly jumped down from the tree, and then tiptoed towards the figure in the mountain col.
