Cao Family Manor.
Cao Xin looked anxious, walking around the living room with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to break the situation.
Killing is easy.
The aftermath is troublesome.
Killing a county's head catcher is even more troublesome.
No matter how unpopular a head catcher is, he is still a head catcher. He is in charge of the security and arrest affairs of a county. He can also have a hand in other aspects, and his influence is not small.
What's more, Xu Taiping, a slightly famous catcher.
However, the more this happens, the less likely it is that Xu Taiping, the divine catcher, can be allowed to leave alive.
Wang Shuanzhu was ordered to kill Xu Taiping, but he was killed in the wilderness.
Late at night.
In the wilderness.
A slightly famous catcher.
A thug from the Tianxia Gang.
When these words were combined together, Cao Xin instantly thought of the scene where Xu Taiping led Wang Shuanzhu to the wilderness and then tortured him to extract a confession.
The more I think about it, the more I shudder.
Because this means that Xu Taiping is likely to dig out some clues or even evidence from Wang Shuanzhu's mouth.
However, Xu Taiping always pretended to know nothing.
He cheated me out of a hundred taels of silver!
Grass!
How insidious!
Cao Xin cursed secretly.
At this time, the servant quickly came to report: "Master, Xu Taiping has come down the mountain!"
"one person?"
"right."
"How's the status?"
"The clothes are in tatters, the body is covered with wounds and blood stains, and he is still carrying a bloody package."
"Grass!"
Cao Xin was even more shocked.
That little martial artist Xu Taiping actually killed Sun Jingzhen?
Sun Jingzhen is a Taoist monk in the foundation-building stage. He has the inheritance of the Eight Classics, has many methods, and has strong fighting ability.
How could he die at the hands of a young martial artist who had just entered martial arts?
This is unreasonable!
Could it be that the little bastard named Xu really has a trump card?
Grass!
Fortunately, Wang Rusong was allowed to go to the city to ask for help in advance.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to handle.
However, the gang master will not arrive until at least tomorrow.
We have to find a way to keep the person named Xu in Xiaowang Village for at least one night.
Think of this.
Cao Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, adjusted his face, showed a look of surprise and joy, and ran out of the door quickly, facing Xu Taiping.
Seeing that although Xu Taiping was in a miserable state, he was still full of murderous intent, I couldn't help but be even more frightened.
After killing Sun Jingzhen, he only suffered some superficial injuries?
I really underestimated this little bastard.
I was shocked.
But he waved with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu, congratulations to Mr. Xu."
Xu Taiping chuckled: "Thanks to Cao Baozheng for your guidance, I will take note of this favor. I will be rewarded generously when I turn around. Cao Baozheng, take your leave."
"Ah? Master Xu is leaving?"
"The murderer is dead and the case has been solved. Naturally, we must hurry up and return to the county office to close the case."
Cao Xin quickly shook his head: "Mr. Xu, there is only one Sun Laodao. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this case."
"oh?"
"Find a worthy scapegoat and you'll be safe."
"How can there be so many scapegoats?"
"have!"
"have?"
Cao Xin made a gesture of invitation: "Master Xu, please come inside. You can wash up, bandage and change clothes first, and let me tell you slowly."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he became suspicious.
Mr. Cao tried every possible means to retain me. What did he want to do?
Shouldn't I be sent away as quickly as possible?
The longer I stay here, the more likely I am to ruin his and Wang Zengfu's plans.
Especially when this plan has reached its most critical moment.
Wang Zengfu's funeral will be held tomorrow.
As expected, the formation will be launched tomorrow to transform Wang Zengfu.
At this critical moment, there is no room for surprise.
Cao asked me to stay. Are you really not afraid that I might cause trouble?
Or... Cao has the means to deal with me?
Think of this.
Xu Taiping shook his head deliberately and said decisively: "Cao Baozheng, I have good intentions, but this case is of great importance. I don't dare to delay the arrest. It's better to report back to the county magistrate as soon as possible."
How could Cao Xin let Xu Taiping leave?
I sneered in my heart.
It is precisely because the matter is so important that I cannot let you leave.
You killed Wang Shuanzhu and Sun Jingzhen in succession, who knows how much evidence you have.
Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping.
If you're to blame, it's your fault for being such a top-notch catcher.
If you want to blame it, it's because you have some ability.
It's your fault for stupidly getting involved in this matter.
No one else is to blame.
With this in mind, he went directly to Xu Taiping: "Master Xu, my Master Xu, what are you so anxious about? You just left with blood and stains all over your body. What do others think of me, Xiaowang Village? How do they think of me, Cao Xin? Wash up, wash up, Take a shower and put on some medicine before leaving, okay?"
Xu Taiping sneered secretly.
Go ahead and get Joe.
Cao Xin said all kinds of good things and tried his best to persuade him to stay.
Pull a good assembly.
Xu Taiping nodded helplessly: "Cao Baozheng, you are so enthusiastic."
"This is as it should be. Xiaowang Village is located in a remote area with few outsiders coming and going. How can we not warmly entertain a big shot after finally arriving?"
"That would be troublesome."
"What's the trouble? Come on, come on. Come into the house. Who is it? Go and prepare hot water gauze, gold sore medicine, and new clothes that fit you."
The servants were immediately busy.
Boil water.
Wash up.
wipe.
Debridement.
Apply medicine.
bandage.
Finally, he helped Xu Taiping dry his hair, tie it into braids and put on new clothes.
Cao Xin saw the new Xu Taiping and smiled kindly: "Master Xu is really a talented person. With his appearance and demeanor, no one would doubt that he is a rich man."
Xu Taiping flicked the silk on his body.
Smooth and soft.
Great touch.
Comparable to fur.
But very thin.
No need to ask, you know it must be worth a lot of money.
Hearing Cao Xin's words, he burst out laughing: "A man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. Putting on these clothes, even a monkey looks more noble."
Cao Xin also laughed.
Just laugh.
He turned sideways and stretched out his hand: "Master Xu, please take a seat."
"Why?"
"Master Xu has fought bloody battles for the people for a long time, and it's time to make up for it."
"this……"
"Mr. Xu, you see that you have washed and changed, but you just left without eating a mouthful of food. Isn't it appropriate? If word spreads, others will think that my food is poisonous."
"That's right, hey, it cost Cao Baozheng money again."
"Haha, what a waste, this is a common meal, a common meal, please."
Xu Taiping said: "There is no problem with eating, but my brothers are still waiting at the entrance of the village. Please send someone to Cao Baozheng to send a message and ask them to wait a little longer."
Cao Xin nodded nonchalantly: "It's a trivial matter."
After saying that, he called the servant and whispered a few instructions.
Then he asked Xu Taiping to take a seat.
This meal is more sumptuous.
There are eight cold, eight hot and two soups, one meat and one vegetarian, which look good. It can be said that it is full of color, flavor and shape, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, seasonal side dishes, and a large table full.
Xu Taiping sneered.
This is not a common occurrence.
But a high standard banquet.
County Magistrate Zhou Yucheng didn't have such a card either.
But Cao Xin, a little guarantor, acted like he was used to it, and didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
This is not simply extravagant extravagance.
Let’s not talk about the ingredients first.
Just the cook.
The fact that the chef can cook so many dishes in one hour shows that there is definitely more than one high-level chef, at least three to start with.
If Cao Xin only maintains his integrity, why should he support so many high-level cooks?
What's more, the servants are very skillful in serving food, and they feel like professional waiters.
Therefore, this manor is not only Cao Xin's home, but also probably a gathering point for members of the Tianxia Gang nearby.
And it is a relatively high-end gathering point.
How about using this place as a fishing spot and looking for an opportunity to catch everyone in the Tianxia Gang?
Xu Taiping was startled by his own thoughts.
But the more I thought about it, the more feasible it became.
feasible!
Very doable!
Catching an incense owner is a great achievement.
If he is an incense owner who is wanted by the court, he will not only have merit, but also be rewarded with luck from heaven.
Think of something wonderful.
He couldn't help but look Cao Xin up and down.
