In Xu Zhen's impression, Li Zheng should be all elderly people, such as respected old patriarchs.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of him was extremely young, looking like he was less than thirty years old.
This man is fair-skinned, wearing a brand new dark gray brocade robe and a rich man's hat. He looks more like a young man.
Behind Li Zheng, there followed a tall, middle-aged man with a slight bow on his back and a stubble on his face. This man was called Li Qian, and he was the son-in-law of the deceased Meng Shaojun.
Although he was also wearing a satin robe, the color and texture were far from normal, and he looked particularly down and dirty.
At this moment, Li Zheng and Li Qian led a group of strong young men and escorted a man and a woman into the yard of Meng Shaojun's house.
The man also has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, an ugly face, a lame foot, and a wobbly walk.
The woman has a beautiful face and no disabilities.
The man and woman both had their hair disheveled and were wearing thin pajamas. They seemed to have been caught in their sleep.
At this moment, the two of them were terrified. The man wanted to struggle, but was pushed to the ground by the strong young men who were escorting him.
"No, it's not us. You are bullying others, wuwu..." The woman was so frightened that she cried. While arguing loudly, she was also pushed down by the strong young men.
"Um?"
However, after entering the courtyard, Li Zheng saw three people from Xu Zhen, including an extremely beautiful female Taoist nun. He couldn't help being surprised and asked hurriedly:
"What do you do?"
"Zhicai," the old man who led the way hurriedly introduced, "these three are all escorts from the Tianxiong Escort Agency. They passed by our village just now and happened to stumble upon this tragic incident, so they came in to check it out!"
Most people in Yaochang Village are named Meng, so Li Zheng is called Meng Zhicai.
"Check?" Li Zhengmeng Zhicai's eyes widened, "What a damn thing they checked! Isn't the Tianxiong Escort Agency an escort? Aren't they an official from the Yamen?"
"Besides," he looked Li Chan'er up and down, "why is there a Taoist nun in the escort agency?"
"Yes, it's not true, right?" Li Qian, who was behind, pointed at Xu Zhen and the other three and shouted, "Maybe they are all accomplices of the murderer!"
As soon as these words came out, the strong young men present picked up their hoes and pointed them at Xu Zhen and the others.
"No, no, no, it can't be wrong," the old man tried his best to explain, "They have the escort flag of Tianxiong Escort Bureau, they can't be wrong."
"Get out of here." Unexpectedly, Li Zheng Meng Zhicai pushed the old man away unceremoniously, then pointed at Xu Zhen and the other three and said, "It's not up to them from the Tianxiong Escort Agency to arrest them first and then interrogate them. If they arrest the wrong person, I’m responsible!”
"Look, what's going on?" At this time, the fellow escort complained behind Xu Zhen, "What kind of nonsense is this? This is a typical much ado about nothing!"
Originally, the escort should stand up and show the escort flag to the other party.
But because he was angry, he just kept talking behind him and had no intention of standing up and explaining.
Seeing this, Meng Zhicai became even more enthusiastic and ordered to the young men: "Did you see it? It's obvious that they are fakes. Come to me, take them down, and interrogate them all!"
After receiving the order, the young men stepped forward with hoes in hand, hoping to frighten Xu Zhen and the other three, and then control them.
As a result, as soon as they rushed over, Li Chan'er had already taken action!
But when Sister Bingshan stepped forward and flicked the fly whisk in her hand gracefully, the hoes in the hands of the strong young men broke into two pieces!
Dangdangdang...
The hoes fell one after another, making a clanging sound.
And the moment Li Chan'er took action, the escort behind him was not idle either. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, flew out with an arrow, and shot Meng Zhicai's rich man's hat away, nailing it firmly to the screen wall behind!
Oops...
The entire courtyard fell silent for an instant, and everyone seemed to have seen a ghost, with great terror on their faces.
Some people even couldn't hold on anymore and were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
The arrow that was shot at Meng Zhicai, although it was like an arrow striking a giant and piercing a poplar at a hundred steps, was still something that could only be seen in the human world.
However, what the female Taoist nun was holding was just an ordinary whisk!
The head of a whisk is made of animal bristles. Who has ever seen a hoe that can be broken into two pieces by shaking a bunch of bristles?
However, the villagers couldn't tell, but Xu Zhen could still guess a little bit.
In fact, it was not the whisk that actually cut off the hoe, but the Emei thorn hidden in Li Chan'er's sleeve, but she moved too fast and no one could see it.
But even if this is the case, it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. It can be seen that Li Chan'er's martial arts has reached its peak.
"Ah!?" Meng Zhicai touched the top of his head and his face turned pale with fear.
If someone had gone down a little, he would have been dead.
Obviously, having such skill is enough to prove that the opponent is indeed from Tianxiong Escort Agency, which is much more effective than any escort flag.
"If we are really accomplices," Li Chan'er said coldly, "What if we kill the whole village?"
As soon as these words were spoken, murderous intent was revealed, and the strong young men were so frightened that they quickly dropped their hoes and retreated behind Li Zheng.
"My eyes are clumsy, my eyes are clumsy," Meng Zhicai changed his face very quickly, and quickly bowed and bowed his hands, "Young man has no eyesight, I hope the three heroes will take care of him.
"You have also seen that something big happened in my village tonight. Everyone is panicking. That's why I offended the three heroes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"This... this is fine." Li Qian, who was behind, also quickly changed his mind, "Having three heroes here can help us bear witness, so that the government will not come in the future and say that we are bullying others and frame them!"
As he spoke, Li Qian looked at the man and woman kneeling in the center.
These two people are what they call murderers.
"We...we really didn't kill anyone," the woman cried and defended again, "We don't even know what happened..."
The man quickly followed suit, but unfortunately his facial paralysis was so severe that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"How dare you make sophistry even though you have obtained the stolen goods," Meng Zhicai shouted, "Why don't we punish you for poisoning Aunt Shaojun to death as soon as possible? When will we wait?"
"This..." Li Chan'er asked with a sullen face, "What's going on?"
"Woman," Meng Zhicai quickly replied, "it was these two people who poisoned my aunt Shaojun to death. We have already found arsenic from their house. You see..."
While they were talking, someone behind them placed a package on the ground. It was wrapped in white powder, which should be what they called arsenic.
"There are also some blue particles mixed in," Meng Zhicai said, "It should be something that can enhance the toxicity, right?"
"No... no... we have never, never met!" The woman quickly denied, "We have never bought arsenic. This is... someone is framing us!"
Snapped!
As a result, Li Qian went up and slapped the woman, and shouted angrily:
"Vicious woman, you still dare to speak harshly. Open your eyes and look at me. My mother-in-law, my wife and children, and our entire family have all been killed by you! My mother, my wife, my son... you die It’s so miserable...wuwuwu..."
Li Qian cried very dryly, with almost no tears, which sounded extremely awkward.
"It's so chaotic," the escort couldn't stand it anymore and immediately urged, "Miss, let's leave quickly! Now that the murderer has been found, nothing will happen to us!"
"No," Xu Zhen slowly shook his head and said, "This case is not right at all!"
"Oh?" Xu Zhen's words once again aroused Li Chan'er's curiosity...
