"Assassin!" Hearing the boy's words, even Xu Zhifu, who had already sat down, was frightened and stood up again in worry.
Ke Zhengtong, who was on the side, chuckled and reached out to touch Magistrate Xu.
"Don't panic, sir. The security inside and outside the Xu Mansion is tight tonight, and casual assassins will definitely not be able to approach the Xu Mansion." And even those masters can't afford to assassinate a dandy. Ke Zhengtong didn't say the last sentence, but everyone present knew the meaning of Ke Zhengtong's words, and they immediately nodded in agreement.
Magistrate Xu also felt a little relieved, and continued to look at the servant kneeling on the ground.
It was only at this moment that the young man realized that Ke Zhengtong was suspecting that he had lied about military information. He immediately did not dare to hide it anymore and hurriedly defended:
"Sir, I really didn't lie! The young master was indeed assassinated... He was assassinated. If you don't believe me, you can go and see with your own eyes..." The young man knelt his head on the ground, and his tone could not be more serious. .
Hearing the servant's sincere words and seeing his sincere gesture, Magistrate Xu was a little shaken. He looked at Ke Zhengtong hesitantly, while Ke Zhengtong looked at the servant who was still 'acting' on the ground. He sneered, then stood up and looked around the kneeling servant.
However, he looked at the other party for a long time and saw that the other party was just trembling and did not reveal any suspicious flaws. Then he glanced at everyone present and asked the servant in a solemn voice:
"Well, since you said that the young master was assassinated by an assassin, I would like to ask you, what does the assassin look like? What weapon did he use? Did he wear night clothes?"
"This..." Hearing Ke Zhengtong's question, the boy's head was frozen in mid-air as soon as he raised his head. He had never seen the assassin at all. How could he know what the assassin looked like? With what weapon? Wearing night clothes or not? For a moment, he couldn't answer a single question.
Seeing the boy's frozen appearance, Ke Zhengtong sneered, then leaned over and patted the boy's head, stood up and said to everyone:
"I have to say that your acting skills and disguise skills are indeed very superb. Even I can't see any flaws. But it's a pity that you are too hasty.
Tonight, the Xu Mansion is heavily guarded, and Mr. Xu's backyard is even guarded by elite guards. How can an assassin succeed so easily? In addition, the midnight hour is approaching, isn't it a coincidence that you came to report at this time?
You clearly know that Mr. Xu loves his son very much, and you want to use this to distract him from us, so that Chu Liuxiang can take advantage of it. Do you think what I said is right? Chu Xiangshuai, oh no, should I say Miss Su Rongrong? "
Ke Zhengtong looked confidently at the boy kneeling in front of him. He had long known that Chu Liuxiang was good at the art of disguise. At the same time, his confidante Su Rongrong was also good at this, so he had already been on guard.
Everyone listened to Ke Zhengtong's inference and nodded in agreement, but no one noticed that when Ke Zhengtong mentioned the name Su Rongrong, the master next to Mr. Xu pursed his lips slightly, as if I wanted to laugh, but I held it back.
The boy who was accused by Ke Zhengtong of being Chu Liuxiang's accomplice was a bit unable to defend himself at this time. He didn't even understand what Ke Zhengtong was talking about, but he could understand the way everyone looked at him.
"It's unfair, sir. I really didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can go and see it!" The boy shouted loudly to Magistrate Xu.
Ke Zhengtong looked at the boy who still refused to admit it, and immediately prepared to take action, tearing off his human skin mask to show the public, but at this moment, a hearty laughter interrupted his action , attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"Hahahaha, I have made you all wait for so long. It's really a sin on Mr. Chu's part."
"Chu Liuxiang is here?" Hearing Chu Liuxiang's laughter, everyone in the hall suddenly stood up, even Wang Yuanba, who had been sitting upright, was no exception.
"Such a profound inner strength, from the outside to the inside, you can't hear any difference." Chu Liuxiang's laughter surrounded the entire hall, and no one could tell where the sound came from.
But at this moment, the sound of arrows and crossbows suddenly came from outside, as well as the shouts of everyone.
"Humph! In front." Ke Zhengtong, who knew where Chu Liuxiang was, quickly grabbed the young man's throat, held it down with his backhand, and then told everyone in the hall:
"Sir, please wait in this hall while Ke goes out to meet this legendary bandit commander."
After Ke Zhengtong finished explaining, he walked out alone with Su Rongrong. Just after Ke Zhengtong walked out, Magistrate Xu looked around. Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanba also said at this time:
"I have been famous for Chu Liuxiang for a long time. I just want to see it today. Fen'er and Qiang'er, you two are here to protect the master and prevent the jade statue from being stolen. Go and help Ke Baantou for your father."
After listening to his father's words, Wang Bofen was about to agree, but unexpectedly he heard his brother say.
"Dad, I'm going too. I also want to see how powerful this legendary bandit commander is. It's enough to have Big Brother and Capt. Liu here. Anyway, Chu Liuxiang has already appeared, and Su Rongrong has also been caught."
"Second brother..." Wang Bowen was about to scold him, but he saw his father nodding.
"Well, Qiang'er is right, then I'll leave it to Fen'er and Deputy Liu to catch the heads."
After hearing what his father said, Wang Boxen immediately stopped and nodded in agreement.
"It's dad!"
Magistrate Xu on the side couldn't sit still. In the blink of an eye, three of the only five people who knew martial arts in the Kung Fu Hall were gone, and among them were the two with the strongest martial arts skills.
"Well, I will go with you. I am also very curious about the rumored Chu Liuxiang."
After thinking about it, Magistrate Xu still felt that it would be safer to follow Ke Zhengtong and Wang Yuanba. After all, these two people have high martial arts skills, and although Chu Liuxiang is a thief, he has never heard of him killing anyone, so there should be no such thing. What danger, besides, he really wanted to see what the rumored bandit commander Chu Liuxiang looked like.
Chu Liuxiang is different from ordinary gangsters. Other gangsters may just engage in petty theft and steal from ordinary people, and will not be remembered by court officials.
Thieves like Chu Liuxiang specialize in stealing from high-ranking officials, so Chu Liuxiang is also a well-known legendary figure in the official circle. Even the current emperor knows that Chu Liuxiang is a figure in the world.
However, Magistrate Xu was not at ease and left Deputy Chief Liu and Wang Bofen to guard him. He immediately turned around and ordered the master behind him:
"Master, I'll trouble you to guard this place with Deputy Chief Liu and Mr. Wang."
Magistrate Xu is not worried that Chu Liuxiang will come to steal. After all, in his opinion, Chu Liuxiang and his accomplices have already appeared.
What he was mainly worried about now was that Deputy Chief Liu and Wang Bowen would be unable to resist the temptation and commit theft, but he didn't know that the master was already smiling in his heart at this time.
The master controlled his emotions very well, bowed and said, "It's your lord."
Seeing that the master agreed, Magistrate Xu immediately took the housekeeper and Wang Yuanba and his son out to see the rumored handsome man.
Wang Yuanba and his son naturally had no objections and followed Magistrate Xu out. After all, he was the biggest talker here.
