Chapter 3 It’s hard to give up on natural beauty

The hand raised the knife and dropped it too quickly.

The surrounding people did not see clearly what happened until this moment.

Only to find that after Cui Shanying's terrifying sword strike, there was a blood hole on his waist and abdomen.

And the young man in green was still in his original position, seemingly not even raising his hand.

Cui Shanying's face turned red, she jumped back to the top of the carriage, her waist was bleeding profusely, she raised her sword and pointed at Zuo Lingquan, and said angrily:

"Who are you?"

The surrounding police officers were also shocked:

"What a fast knife!"

"Young hero, you..."

"Sure, how could you hurt Mr. Cui?"

…

Zuo Lingquan stood quietly in the rain, turning a blind eye to the noise around him. After waiting for a moment, he raised the Zhan Gang knife and scratched the bloody blade with his thumb:

"Cui, could it be that my knife missed the target?"

When the detectives heard this, they came back to their senses and turned to look at Cui Shanying, who was standing on the sedan chair with great momentum, and frowned.

The Zhangang knife is poisonous and can block the flow of Qi and blood in the meridians. It is a tool issued by the imperial court to deal with practitioners and strange beasts.

Cui Shanying was stabbed with a hole in her waist, but she was still alive and well. It obviously didn't look like her blood was blocked, which only meant that the knife was indeed a fake.

Thinking of this, the detectives all looked at the sabers in their hands, with doubts in their eyes. After all, this was a life-threatening matter.

The incident happened suddenly. Cui Shanying was completely unprepared. Nearly a hundred people were watching, and people from the imperial court were also present. He showed the appearance of falling to the ground helplessly, which was obviously trying to cover up. He had to glare at Zuo Lingquan and gritted his teeth and said:

"This sword is indeed useless. I will ask the division commander for details. I am serving as Lingtai Lang in the Qintian Prison. I am an official for the imperial court. To use the sword on the imperial officials in the street is tantamount to conspiracy! You are so brave. Take it down for me.

."

Although Ling Tailang is only a seventh-grade casualty, he is also a genuine official. He has a background in Qihuang Valley and has a high status in the capital.

When Cui Shanying was stabbed in the street, the surrounding police officers couldn't pretend they didn't see it, but Zuo Lingquan came to his aid first, and they were all in trouble for a while.

Lao Zhang quickly stepped in and said something nice to smooth things over:

"Master Cui, please calm down. This young hero is also impulsive. As a master of Qihuang Valley, your master has vast magical powers. This sword will not hurt you at all..."

Cui Huaiying was stabbed with a hole in his waist. Although his internal organs were not damaged, how could it be possible that everything would be fine if a white knife went in and a red knife came out? He said angrily:

"What are you doing in a daze? This man is so bold that he commits a murder in the street. Many neighbors are present. Do you still want to bend the law for personal gain?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard that he was being arrested, he thought about how to avoid the Prince Consort election.

Not only did he not give in, he raised his knife and pointed it at Cui Shanying, acting like a rebellious knight:

"You try to catch me?"

"Hey, young hero, you..."

The police and the people were all anxious.

Cui Shanying's stomach was bleeding profusely, and she was blatantly threatened. She was so angry that her veins bulged, and she urged the police with a sword:

"Get it for me, do you want to watch him hack me to death in the street?"

Although the police officers were grateful to Zuo Lingquan for his generous help, what they did at this moment was too much, so they could only turn their blades and signal Zuo Lingquan not to resist, otherwise it would not end well.

Zuo Lingquan had no intention of resisting. He put away his official sword and prepared to capture him without mercy.

But at this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from the street:

"stop!"

Everyone turned around and saw dozens of guards running quickly from the street. In front of them was a carriage with a wooden sign with the word "Left" hanging on it.

The capital was at the feet of the emperor, and princes and generals could be seen everywhere. The police officers recognized this carriage as that of Zuo Hanchou, the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites is a third-rank official, not considered to be a top official in the capital, but in front of ordinary policemen, he is still a real important official in the court.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang and Fang quickly signaled the people to move away and raised their hands to salute to greet them.

Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly, knowing that there was no chance of hiding in the police station for two days.

The carriage stopped on a street full of ruins. The curtains of the carriage were opened, and a kind and wealthy middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a purple official robe and a silver fish bag hanging on his waist. He was none other than Zuo Hanchou, the Minister of Rites.

Zuo Lingquan’s biological father’s younger brother.

After Zuo Hanchou got out of the car, he glanced at the crowded street and saw Zuo Lingquan standing in the middle of the street holding a knife, and Cui Shanying standing on the carriage covered in blood. His expression changed slightly, knowing that his nephew was causing trouble.

No matter what the matter is, the place must be cleared first, otherwise it will be difficult to operate in front of everyone.

Zuo Hanchou hadn't even said hello yet, so he looked at the crowd around him and said eloquently:

"How can we let people gather in the streets when ferocious beasts cause chaos? What will the arrest department do? Let everyone disperse."

Many police officers took the order and quickly dispersed the surrounding people who were watching.

When Cui Shanying saw Zuo Hanchou coming out to clear the place, he guessed that the young ranger was related to him. The anger on his face subsided slightly and he said displeasedly:

"Secretary Zuo, it is not a trivial matter for this man to attack a court official in the street."

Zuo Hanchou got off the carriage, walked to Cui Shanying with his robe, raised his eyes, showed admiration on his face, and praised:

"Brother Cui is really brave. In order to get rid of the vicious beasts and protect the peace of the people of Linhefang, he risked his own life and was seriously injured. He is truly a pillar of the country. I will definitely report this matter to the emperor tomorrow and ask for credit for Brother Cui."

Today, there was a flaw in Zhan Gang Dao. Cui Shanying was wrong in the first place. If she was really unreasonable and refused to forgive others, she would cause trouble in the court. In the end, it is estimated that each of them would be beaten fifty times.

When Cui Shanying saw what Zuo Hanchou said, she couldn't be shameless. She immediately prepared to pay a sum of compensation for the faults of adults and ignore villains.

Zuo Lingquan, who was just standing on the street, wanted to go to jail for two days in order to avoid the consort election the day after tomorrow. At this time, he said seriously:

"Third Uncle, I was the one who stabbed you. I think Cui is telling lies, so..."

"Lingquan!!"

Zuo Hanchou was almost angry to death by these words.

Cui Shanying's face was ashen, and a lot of blood oozed from her stomach. She raised her sword and pointed it at Zuo Lingquan, obviously wanting to curse.

After Zuo Hanchou glared at his nephew, he turned to Cui Shanying and said with a smile:

"Ling Quan is young and his words cannot be taken seriously. Dare I ask Brother Cui, what happened just now?"

While speaking, Zuo Hanchou blinked.

Cui Shanying was so angry that she wanted to stab Zuo Lingquan to death with two swords, but in the capital, she couldn't see her with her head down, which would be bad for everyone, and the medical expenses would definitely be greatly reduced.

Cui Shanying gritted his teeth for a long time, finally put away his sword and said coldly:

"Just now, I accidentally slipped while killing the ferocious beast and fell on the tip of Ling Quan's nephew's knife, which made Mr. Zuo laugh. Say goodbye."

Hua Luo jumped off the sedan chair, turned around and left.

Zuo Hanchou's eyes were full of smiles, he raised his hands and said respectfully:

"Brother Cui, go slowly and take good care of yourself. Japanese officials will definitely come to visit you in person."

Cui Shanying held her stomach and disappeared into the rain without saying a word.

After Zuo Hanchou eliminated Cui Shanying with his tactics, he turned around and looked at the many agents:

"Master Cui just made it very clear. Today, you, Ling Quan, and Master Cui will work together to eliminate the vicious beasts and protect the people. I will definitely report to the Holy One. The imperial court will not treat the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country badly. Please take care of them."

All the good peripherals are gone."

"Thank you, sir!"

Naturally, the police officers present did not say much. After raising their hands and saluting, they began to collect the remains...

——

At night.

In Donghua City, the bursts of thunder did not affect the hustle and bustle in the city. Music and singing were prosperous in the Land of Wind and Moon, and people in restaurants and tea shops were busy.

On the south bank of Mingde Bridge, the residence of Minister Zuo Hanchou was brightly lit.

Dozens of pretty and lovely maids were hiding in the corner of the verandah, secretly glancing in the direction of the study, whispering:

"Seventh Young Master is so handsome, much more handsome than our young master..."

"Shh, let the young master hear it, I have to blow up my hair..."

…

The study room was dimly lit, and at the window, a young man in Tsing Yi could be seen standing with his hands behind his hands, admiring the night view of the rain hitting the banana trees in the courtyard.

In the rainy night, I could still faintly hear the words of the servant Zuo Hanchou:

"How capable! You are asked to come to the capital to be the consort. The government has arranged for you to take the boat. You have to travel alone. Come on. Come and kill people in the streets as soon as you arrive in the capital. Do you think this is Qinghe County? This is the capital.

, at the feet of the emperor..."
