"Nie Hengcheng himself endured Duan Jiuxiu for decades due to the rule of 'not killing each other'. Later, when he learned that Cai Nuxia had issued a killing order, Nie Hengcheng was not sure how happy he was."
"But Mr. Duan is also very disgusting. Just because the leader of Qingfeng Temple laughed at him and said, 'Ten thousand years old', he is determined to destroy the human sect. Well, it is not uncommon for the divine religion to destroy human sects. He actually fights with open fire. It's not like he can't kill him. But he doesn't want to wait until Qingfengguan attacks Youminghuang Dao under Yin Dai's orders. After his vitality is severely injured, he touches it in the dark night. After drugging him, he kills him bloodyly."
"Killing people and setting fires are not included, but they humiliated several Taoist nuns to death, stripped their bodies and hung them under a tree outside the Taoist temple, and even turned a few Taoist boys under ten years old into human beings - this is all nonsense. It has brought disgrace to the cult. Even after it was over, he was so complacent and felt that he was a hero. Huh, you deserve to die!" Mu Qingyan was very disdainful.
Qian Xueshen couldn't help but whispered: "I have always heard that your sect members kill innocent people indiscriminately and do whatever it takes. Elder Duan's behavior... is not out of line, right?"
Mu Qingyan looked at him with a serious look: "What do you think of the divine religion? Are you a dirty little thief!"
Qian Xueshen did not dare to say anything more.
Cai Zhao was horrified when he heard this, "So that's it. No wonder my aunt was so angry that she wanted to issue a killing order... I said, what kind of vision did your great-grandfather have in choosing his adopted son? Nie Hengcheng, Duan Jiuxiu, who are these people?"
Mu Qingyan was actually not very angry and said leisurely: "It's not bad. Among the vast crowd, my great-grandfather was able to pick out the two most vicious, cunning and ambitious ones. On the other hand, he also has good vision."
Qianxue laughed deeply and said, "Master Mu is really free and easy when he is not afraid of laughing at himself."
Cai Zhao rolled his eyes at him: "When he doesn't give you the antidote, you will be more free and easy!"
Qian Xueshen's face immediately fell.
Not only are they talking about others, others are talking about them.
However, none of the people at the four tables, including Zhou Zhiqin and Dongfang Xiao, could guess the origins of Mu and Cai, or even Mu Qingyan's martial arts skills.
This is not surprising. In the past 19 years, Mu Qingyan has either been in the Demon Sect or Changjiabao and Qingque Sect, and has never set foot in the world. Cai Zhao left Luoying Valley and went up to Jiuli Mountain. The power she showed that night when she came down the mountain had obviously not spread yet.
So no one can guess it anyway.
Qian Xueshen was eating fiercely and yawning at the same time, looking very vulgar.
Cai Zhao frowned: "Can you please stop yawning while eating, like a tuberculosis ghost?"
Qianxue replied: "How can I sleep after all the noise last night? Just when I fell asleep, a group of people came; just when I was a little confused, another group of people came; I finally fell asleep, and there was another group of people... It’s endless, I didn’t sleep all night!”
Cai Zhao had a good sleep last night and couldn't help but soften: "How about you go to sleep for a while? I'll call you when it's time to set off. It's especially easy to get hungry after not sleeping all night. You should have asked the clerk to bring you some snacks last night. Night.”
Qianxue frowned deeply: "You think I didn't scream. The shopkeeper and the guys were busy entertaining new customers, so they couldn't take care of me. Alas, I had to go to the kitchen to find food by myself. Good guy, I couldn't find anything to eat. Yes, it was a good show!"
Cai Zhao hurriedly asked what the show was.
Qian Xueshen lowered her voice: "Do you still remember the thin yellow woman yesterday? It turns out that she is the shopkeeper's wife. When I went to the kitchen to find food last night, I saw her hugging the cook!"
"Really?!" Cai Zhao's heart burned with gossip.
"I saw it really." Qian Xueshen's eyes were bright, "I was woken up seventeen or eight times, but I am very awake."
Cai Zhao chuckled, "The old couple and the young couple deserve to be cuckolds, I think..."
"No, seventeen or eight times." Mu Qingyan suddenly said, "The inn door was opened five times in total, so there should be five groups of people."
Cai Qian and Cai Qian looked at him together, as if blaming him for spoiling the fun.
Mu Qingyan knocked on the table with his chopsticks, "Senior Zhou and Senior Dongfang were together, Si Qimen Jin Baohui was involved, the lone thief Lan Tianyu was involved, and the master and the two servants were involved again. Now in the lobby, in addition to We only have four tables, and there are still a group of people?"
At this time, I heard a steady and powerful footsteps coming from the second floor.
He walked slowly downstairs along the wooden stairs with his deep footsteps, which sounded like he was stepping on everyone's hearts.
"Here comes the tough move." Mu Qingyan's eyes were slightly cold.
This is the fifth group of people.
There are three people in total, and the current one is a handsome man in his forties. He is luxuriously dressed and dignified. His eyes are as cold as lightning when he looks at people, and he cannot smell his breath when he walks. He is considered to be a top master with restrained cultivation.
Behind him were an old servant and a beautiful concubine.
The handsome man walked to the table in the middle and told the waiter, "Come to your shopkeeper."
The guy answered quickly.
The old servant looked ordinary and was busy wiping the table.
However, the concubine was a natural beauty, not only charming and charming, but also affectionate in every frown and smile, and her eyes were like little hooks stretching out, tickling the hearts of all the men.
She served the handsome man to the table and wiped his hands and poured water for him.
Mu Qingyan's eyes darkened, and he was about to tell Cai Zhao what he had discovered, when he turned around and found Qian Xueshen's eyes straightened, staring blankly at the beautiful concubine.
Cai Zhao's eyes were actually straighter than his.
He was so angry and funny, and just as he was about to pull Cai Zhao back to his senses, a shrill cry suddenly came from the direction of the kitchen -
"Someone come! Help! The shopkeeper is dead!"
Chapter 49
The shopkeeper was lying on the bed in his room, lying on his side, facing inward. When the waiter who came to call him pushed him, he discovered that a knife was clearly stuck in the shopkeeper's chest. Half of the bedding was stained red with blood and he was dead. For a long time.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. As soon as the thief Lan Tianyu took a step forward, Jin Baohui immediately became angry: "Do you, the shopkeeper, have any valuables on you? If so, put them away first and don't let others touch them."
Lan Tianyu said solemnly: "Then you come."
"I'm not a coward." Jin Baohui took out a white handkerchief and covered his nose, standing against the wall in disgust.
The handsome middle-aged man who had just come down and the master and two servants were standing in the corner watching from a distance, with no intention of coming forward.
Zhou Zhiqin looked at the young faces of Cai Zhao and the others, and finally stepped forward to examine the corpse himself - although he was not a liar, he had seen countless corpses in the past decades.
"The corpse is stiff, the spots on the corpse have just condensed, and the color is still light. The shopkeeper was killed about two hours ago." Zhou Zhiqin turned the body over and looked at it. Under the pale butter lamp, the shopkeeper's old and ugly face was covered with wrinkles. Unspeakably weird and terrifying.
"A stab wound to the chest was fatal. There were no external injuries. There were bruises on the lower half of his face. It was obvious that he covered his mouth and nose when he was stabbed to prevent him from shouting." Zhou Zhiqin looked at the shopkeeper's bedding and clothes. "The murderer was stabbing him." Sometimes he would press the bedding on the wound to prevent the gushing blood from getting on his body - this is an experienced skill."
He pulled out the murderous knife and frowned: "What kind of knife is this?"
The blade of the knife, soaked in dark bloodstains, was slender and curved. Cai Zhao recognized it at a glance: "This is a boning knife used by cooks!"
As soon as this was said, the four waiters immediately shouted to arrest the cook and question him.
Qian Xueshen murmured to herself in a daze: "Are all adulterers and adulterers these days so resolute and resolute in doing whatever they say?"
"Don't accuse people casually." Cai Zhao lowered her voice and turned her head forward, "Senior Zhou, can you tell any martial arts skills from the shopkeeper's injuries?"
Zhou Zhiqin shook his head: "It's just a straight stab into the chest, no tricks required, any man with more strength can do it."
"Man?" Cai Zhao noticed the important point.
Zhou Zhiqin thought for a while and corrected: "It may not be a man, a woman who knows martial arts can also do it."
Cai Zhao was about to continue asking, but suddenly realized that he was too positive, and quickly sighed softly, "Oh, it really scared me to death. I am most afraid of being beaten and killed like this in my life."
Then she heard Mu Qingyan behind her chuckle muffledly - Mu, you deserve a beating!
The four waiters quickly brought the cook and the proprietress over, and forced them to kneel down in front of everyone.
Zhou Zhiqin invisibly became the chief judge of this murderous case, asking questions first.
The cook's name was Wang Erniu, and he swore that he would never do this, and several of the waiters started shouting -
"Master Zhou doesn't know that these two people have been confused for a long time. The shopkeeper is kind-hearted and has told Wang Erniu sincerely, saying that he is young and confused. As long as he can repent, the shopkeeper will forget about it!"
"The shopkeeper has taught this bitch a lesson several times. This bitch must have a grudge over this and persuade Wang Erniu to kill the shopkeeper!"
"The shopkeeper's kindness has made him forgive you time and time again, but here you are repaying kindness with hatred!"
"Master Zhou, you have to make the decision for our shopkeeper!"
Zhou Zhiqin said angrily: "You two can plead guilty!"
Wang Erniu's face turned red and he still refused to admit his guilt. "This old beast is not a human being. I wanted to kill him a long time ago, but I didn't kill him! If you don't believe me, go and take a look in my room. Qin Niang and I have already packed everything." We've got your luggage. Just wait for the old beast to lead you up the mountain and we'll escape, why bother killing him again!"
Zhou Zhiqin said with a sullen face: "The shopkeeper treats you well. It is unjust for you to have an affair with his wife. It is unkind to show no regrets at all. What good is it for an unkind and unjust fanatic like you to stay in the world!" said By this point, murderous intent was already showing on his face.
"Which one is so unkind?! That old beast has been neglected for many years, how come no one comes to seek justice for me?!" Qin Niang suddenly raised her head. Although she was sallow and thin, she had beautiful facial features and a sharp chin. She was actually a A classy beauty.
Jin Baohui became interested and unconsciously took two steps forward. Lan Tianyu gave him a mocking look.
Qin Niang's eyes were filled with anger: "Brother Erniu and I have been engaged since we were young, and we were about to get married. This old beast used my parents' lives to threaten me to marry him!"
Jin Baohui said in a soft voice: "No matter what the reason is, you are getting married. You should abide by the ways of a woman. How can Hongxing go out of the wall?"
Cai Zhao glared at him.
Qin Niang sneered: "Yes, that's what I thought five years ago. Now that you're married, you should serve your husband well from the end. At least my parents won't be hungry and cold anymore. But, this old beast Not human at all..."
She pulled open the skirt of her clothes with force, exposing her scarred shoulders, neck and chest. She then pulled up the two sleeves, and saw that her two thin arms were covered with burns, whip marks, pinch marks, and other scars just like her shoulders, neck and chest. There are gnawing marks, which is shocking to anyone looking at it.
Dongfang Xiao lost his voice: "This, this is really... really cruel!"
Zhou Zhiqin's face turned livid with anger.
Waiter A said loudly: "You stole people to support the slaves. What's wrong with the shopkeeper beating you a few times?"
Qin Niang yelled: "You are so slanderous! Brother Erniu has been studying cooking abroad these years, and he only came back last year. Did all the injuries on my body come from this year?!"
Dongfang Xiao said: "Yes, these many scars are piled up layer by layer. The longest one is at least four or five years old."
——The people present are all experts who travel in the world, and the scars on Qin Niang’s body can be seen at a glance.
Waiter B saw something bad and burst into tears: "The shopkeeper has always been worried that the boss's wife would dislike him because of his age, so he would drink a few more drinks from time to time. When he was drunk, he accidentally hit the boss's wife. He always regretted it afterwards!"
Jin Baohui said sarcastically indifferently: "It's true that a husband and wife are fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. You can't just murder your husband just because the man hit his wife a few times."
Cai Zhao couldn't bear it any longer and asked with his eyes: "Does this Uncle Jin have a wife?"
Jin Baohui was startled: "My old wife has been dead for many years."
"That's good." Cai Zhaoyin said sympathetically, "When I go back this time, I will definitely secure a good matchmaker for Uncle Jin, find a female evil star with strong martial arts skills to be Uncle Jin's wife, and let Uncle Jin have a taste of something. □□Fight at the head and end of the bed!”
Mu Qingyan said leisurely: "Sister, stop talking nonsense. Where can you find a female evil star who is willing to marry this fat man? Don't harm other honest and responsible female evil stars."
Jin Baohui was so angry that he almost died, while Zhou Zhiqin and others smiled.
Waiter C also burst into tears: "Although this Wang Erniu came back last year, the boss's wife has seduced many other people before. The shopkeeper had to endure it several times, and he only beat her a few times when he couldn't bear it anymore!"
Dongfang Xiao asked: "Who did you seduce? Tell me their name."
Waiter Ding's eyes flickered: "They are all businessmen coming and going, not in the town."
Qin Niang suddenly laughed sharply: "Since you insist on throwing dirty water on me, I can only reveal all the details about you! This old beast -" she pointed at the corpse of the shopkeeper, "is just a coward, he can't do it at all. house!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was embarrassed, except for the handsome middle-aged man, the master and the servant, whose expressions remained unchanged.
