Chapter 881 Criminal Service (3)(1/4)
The brigade of well-equipped and terrifying soldiers surrounded Dadaofang.
In addition to the three thousand soldiers visible from Lu Qian at the main entrance, torches and lanterns were lit in the other three directions of the Broadsword Square. Where the lights were bright, elite soldiers could be seen, and where the lights were dim, countless figures were shaking.
Even on the Qinghe River east and south of Dadaofang, there are more than a dozen warships with a length of more than 20 feet flowing down the river from the upper reaches and stationed on the nearby river, setting up a dragnet that is impenetrable.
Posture.
Lu Qian raised the wine jar and took a few more hearty sips. Then he dropped the empty wine jar and let out a cry: "Horse piss!"
The taste of Luoyi's wine is truly unflattering.
Zhou Laodao had already carried the cloak knife and strode on the city wall above the main entrance of Dadaofang. He pressed his left hand on the crenellation of the city wall, glanced towards the street outside, and shouted with a hint of trembling: "Elder Luo Kang, I, Zhou
Lao Dao, is there anything offensive?"
Outside the city, there was a man with white hair and white beard, but his waist was straight, and he was much more energetic than an ordinary eighteen-year-old boy. The Luo family in Luoyi was responsible for the crusade. Luo Kuang, the elder of the martial arts hall who was fighting, raised his head and raised his right hand.
The Panlong machete he was holding, which was two feet taller than him, struck the ground hard.
‘Buzz’!
All the stone paving slabs with a radius of about ten feet were shattered, and fine cracks like spider webs extended along the stone slabs for seven or eight feet in all directions.
Luo Kang narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "Zhou Laodao, you have not offended my Luo family in any way... Well, my Luo family is so big-hearted. Even if you offend a little, you won't come to the door with such a big fanfare!"
Zhou Laodao's voice became much more stable: "If this is the case, why is it so?"
Luo Kang waved his left hand behind him.
A group of men wearing soft armor, who were obviously "auxiliary soldiers", strode up and shouted "Dongdong" several times, as if they were throwing away garbage, and they were covered in blood and messed up.
The corpses with twenty or thirty tragic wounds were thrown harshly at the head of the suspension bridge of Dadaofang's "Moat".
"Here, Ma Shangfeng, his three sons, Madian, Ma Chi, and Ma Feng, are all here... as well as the direct men of Ma Shangfeng's house, Ma Shangfeng's three younger brothers, and more than a dozen nephews.
Here." Luo Kang said coldly: "In Luoyi, it's not uncommon for people to die. It would be strange if three or five respectable people don't die every month."
Sighing, Luo Kang stared at the stunned Zhou Laodao with twinkling eyes.
"But, Zhou Laodao, Zhou Laodao, your Zhou family's work is too rough. I know, Madian, Ma Shangfeng has offended your Zhou family, damn it... But when you do it, can you do it right?
Cleaner? You are left alive!"
Luo Kang's voice became extremely sharp: "Leave a living person to testify that your Zhou family is the murderer! This matter can only be handled according to the rules!"
As mentioned before, the rules of Luoyi are that you can attack people, even if you kill their entire family or seize their property.
As long as it is carried out quietly in the middle of the night, there are no witnesses, no witnesses, and you quietly replace it, then you will be safe and enjoy all the spoils.
But once there are witnesses, there are eyewitnesses, and they are reported to the Luoyi City Elders Association!
Then I'm sorry.
Luoyi's official rules are about to be activated.
The face of the Chenglaohui needs to be maintained.
Generally speaking, those whose craftsmanship is too fashionable, whose work is not clean, and who appear unfavorably will be treated by the city elders as a chicken to scare the monkeys, and will be killed in front of all the restless people in the city.
This time, Zhou Laodao and the Zhou family will undoubtedly become the most plump and plump chicken in the history of Luoyi!
Zhou Laodao looked in shock at Ma Shangfeng, who was still alive and kicking during the day, and even dared to block his way at the city gate to 'provoke' - yes, in Zhou Laodao's heart, Ma Shangfeng, who dared to block the road despite knowing that his strength was far inferior to him,
His behavior is provocation!
But now, Ma Shangfeng, who is also a true cultivator and is considered well-known in Luoyi, has turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
His body was dotted with at least forty extremely thin, extremely deep, and extremely long blades... Those blades looked so familiar, they were exactly the same as the wounds made by his cloak knife.
In the huge Luoyi, as far as Zhou Laodao knew, the only custom-made long knife like the cloak knife was in his hand.
There are many swordsmen in Luoyi, and there are also many masters who have become true cultivators of swords. However, their swords are all 'heavy' and 'violent'. With one strike, they can easily cut a person into two pieces...
But the only knife that is so thin, deep and long, with obvious penetration and extremely fast exit speed, is Zhou Laodao.
Only this paper-thin cloak knife ordered by Zhou Laodao could cut such a wound.
There were several other wounds on Ma Shangfeng's body.
Among them were three serrated wolf-toothed arrows, which penetrated directly from the chest and shot Ma Shangfeng through.
Ma Shangfeng's clothes were torn to pieces, revealing a breast shield with a wolf's head embossed on his chest.
The half-inch-thick breastplate was also pierced by an arrow... The metal of the polished breastplate was slightly discolored, and there were subtle traces of high-temperature burns on the edges. It was obvious that the arrow
How powerful it is to lose the ability to penetrate the heart mirror... Ordinary archers cannot shoot such an arrow. Only those who have entered the Tao and practiced true cultivation can have such strength.
There are many archers in Luoyi.
However, the total number of archers who have entered the true cultivation level in Luoyi does not exceed twenty.
Among them, the archery master who has entered the true cultivator level and is related to the cloak knife... Anyone who is slightly familiar with the masters of Luoyi will only think of Zhou Laodao's second brother Zhou Changgong!
The serrated wolf tooth arrow is a half-foot armor-piercing arrow forged with spiritual gold, and its tail feathers are made of carefully selected wind-splitting feathers. It is extremely powerful, and the cost is also extremely high. Just look at the workmanship of this arrow.
In the huge city of Luoyi, there are not many archers who are willing to spend such a cost on missing arrows.
There are three Zhou brothers. Zhou Laodao has been doing business all year round and has a rich income.
Zhou Changgong is the guard of Nanchengguan in the old city. He has a high position and a considerable salary...
Ordinary people cannot afford to use this kind of spiritual gold-forged arrows, but Zhou Changgong, as we all know, carries two quivers with him when he goes out, each quiver is full of thirty-six withered feathers and armor-breaking wolves.
The workmanship and shape of the tooth arrow are exactly the same as the three arrows on Ma Shangfeng's corpse!
Under the illumination of lanterns and torches, what made Zhou Laodao even more angry and almost cursed was that he could clearly see that there were more than twenty bone-penetrating steel needles as thin as ox hair inserted densely on Ma Shangfeng's face!
The extremely thin steel needle is three inches long and has the shape of a three-sided bone cone.
The extremely sharp steel needle has a faint green light on it, which is obviously quenched with poison - and what almost everyone in Luoyi knows is that the third master of the Zhou family, Zhou Tiejiao, doesn't like people wielding knives and guns.
So polite.
Therefore, Master Zhou never wears a sword when he goes out, but he always has many life-threatening bits and pieces on him.
What kind of poisonous needles, poisonous powder, poisonous gas, poisonous smoke, etc... God knows how Zhou Tiejiao developed this problem, but if someone is pricked in the face by a poisonous needle, the whole face will be turned dark green by the poison...No
If you have to run away, just find Mr. Zhou. It's him who did it for sure.
In the huge Luoyi, he is the only one who plays with poisonous needles!
Other true cultivators who have entered the Tao would rather fight for life and death with swords and swords. Who would play this thing like a embroidered girl?
Come on.
The edge of the cloak knife.
Arrow wounds from armor-piercing arrows.
Plus this unique, highly identifiable poisonous needle.
To say that Ma Shangfeng was not killed by the three brothers together...someone must believe it!
Even looking at the traces on Ma Shangfeng's body, Zhou Laodao was a little suspicious. Did his brothers get drunk last night and ran to Ma Shangfeng's house drunk and really killed him?
However, at the reception banquet last night, I, my second child, and my third child were not drunk!
Zhou Laodao remained silent, his eyes scanning Ma Shangfeng and other Ma family men.
Luo Kang had already sighed and said: "Zhou Laodao, you are a good man... You, as well as your second and third brothers, have also worked diligently in these years and made a lot of contributions to our Luoyi."
.”
"But, rules are rules."
"You didn't do your job carefully enough. You've leaked traces and been exposed...that's it!"
Luo Kang looked at Zhou Laodao and said softly: "You still want to fight with me? Come on, let's put down the weapons, let the whole family go out and be captured without mercy? For the sake of past friendship, I will give you a chance...
If you, the Zhou family, are turned into criminals, at least you have a way to survive!"
"Crime?" Zhou Laodao raised his voice fiercely, and hissed: "Are you dreaming? I, I, would rather die!"
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Zhou Laodao yelled angrily: "Fart, fart, I didn't do this at all... Luo Kang, where is the witness you mentioned? Pull it out for me!"
In anger, Zhou Laodao didn't bother to address him as 'Elder Luo', and directly shouted Luo Kuang's name.
Luo Kang pursed his lips and waved his hand gently.
Twenty-odd little girls who were trembling with fear and looked to be about eight or nine or twelve or thirteen years old were pulled up by a group of elite soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers.
The first thing these little girls saw was Ma Shangfeng and others lying on the ground in a miserable state of death.
They screamed in unison, and some were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, with large amounts of water oozing out from under their bodies. They were obviously frightened and incontinent. There were also two older girls who suddenly raised their heads and looked at Zhou Laodao, looking at each other randomly.
Pointing at him, he screamed: "It's him, it's him, yes, it's him... He stabbed, stabbed, and stabbed so fiercely, kill the master, kill the young master..."
A little girl even hissed: "They, they kidnapped the lady!"
Zhou Laodao's face twitched.
Luo Kang sighed: "Zhou Laodao, what's going on? The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Do you want me to order the attack on Da Dao Fang? You take the initiative to abandon the sword and come out and surrender... Is it a crime?
It’s a bit difficult to endure, but at least there is a way to survive!”
