leave the wind on the grass

This banquet turned out to be for Qiu Xiaofeng alone, and he alone ate the most, the whole plate of pig's feet, four big crabs, two bean drum fish, and half a duck.

Only the shrimp he didn't taste at all.

I wouldn't eat it even if I killed it.

Qiu Xiaofeng had enough to eat and drink, and was handed a handkerchief to wipe his mouth by the serving girl.

When he returned to Lu Mansion, Qiu Xiaofeng felt sleepy.For some reason, Qiu Xiaofeng felt that he was particularly prone to getting drunk today, and fell asleep on the bed not long after.

On the second day, Qiu Xiaofeng was dizzy from the sun, and hurriedly pushed away the quilt and got up from the bed.He looked at the ground with sleepy eyes, and was immediately dazzled by the blood on the ground.He followed the bloodstains and saw that the bloodstains came out of the cabinet, Qiu Xiaofeng's heart sank.

He already knew that there was something tricky in this house, but he was actually deceived by Master Lu's lie that he wanted him to protect his son.His purpose is by no means so simple.

Qiu Xiaofeng touched his sword and was about to leave, but was kicked open the door.

When Master Lu saw the blood, his face immediately changed into a sad expression, he walked over and opened the cabinet, a corpse fell out of the cabinet, his eyes widened, and the blood on Master Lu was rubbed.

Master Lu immediately supported the corpse and cried bitterly, "Nephew, it's all my fault for luring the wolf into the house! That's why you died miserably! How can this old man be worthy of his dead old friend!"

Qiu Xiaofeng sneered, so you are waiting for me here.

Master Lu stood up from the ground, pointed at Qiu Xiaofeng, "Hurry up and take him down!"

Qiu Xiaofeng was caught without any struggle, and was soon caught.When he got out of the room, he saw many officers and soldiers surrounded in the yard.I'm afraid that this Lu Mansion has been completely surrounded, and it will not be easy for him to escape.

Qiu Xiaofeng was restrained by the yamen servants, and heard another person talking to Mr. Lu, saying, "My lord is also deeply saddened by what happened to Lu's mansion, and he must investigate this matter strictly."

"Thank you, Master Liang."

"take away."

Qiu Xiaofeng was dragged away, dragging and dragging, so he didn't want to feel better.Almost on the street, Qiu Xiaofeng said to the adult, "Can you cover my face?"

This battle was big, and walking on the street was also mighty, and there were countless people onlookers, Qiu Xiaofeng was afraid of being recognized by his enemies, so he had to compromise.The adult only thought that he was afraid of losing face, and said coldly, "Why didn't you think of face when you killed someone?"

"Why do you think I'm the murderer?"

"Whether it's a murderer or not, you can decide for yourself in the court!"

It's just that this adult is still kind enough to ask someone to cover Qiu Xiaofeng's face.Walking on the street, Qiu Xiaofeng thought to himself, if it is said that the lord has formed a party with the Lu family for personal gain, even if he is in the court, he will be in danger, and he is just thinking about how to escape. The lord is wearing an official uniform, and Qiu Xiaofeng can't recognize it What kind of position is it to come out? It's just to detain people in person, and it won't be a civil servant.

Qiu Xiaofeng was thinking, but the team was stopped.

"Who dares to obstruct my yamen's work?"

The person in the lead also did not give in, saying, "I am the manager of the sweeping mountain villa. This matter is a matter of Jianghu, and it is not up to the city lord to intervene. Please pass it on to the criminals."

The conflict between the government and the rivers and lakes is not once or twice.If you meet an official who is afraid of getting into trouble, you will naturally stop asking more questions and hand him over.It's just that Qi Wuyuan, the lord of Yanying City, is uncompromising, and none of the subordinates he brings out are anyone to be trifled with.

"There is a murder case in Lu's residence, so it will naturally be handled by my government, and I ask your government to make concessions."

"Then do you know how the murder happened? It's common to see feuds in Jianghu. I advise the city lord not to intervene."

"Wu was ordered to arrest the suspect today. Since your government intends to obstruct it, don't blame me for offending."

"Why, Wu Chengwei refuses?"

"Forgiveness is hard to obey."

After finishing speaking, both sides drew their swords and started to fight.Qiu Xiaofeng didn't expect that the sweeping mountain villa was so powerful, and he dared to brazenly rob people from the government, no wonder the emperor was unreliable in that position.

When the two started fighting, Wu Chengwei was subdued, and was restrained by the people from the sweeping mountain villa, who abruptly snatched him away.Before leaving, the steward also said, "If the Lord City Master has any objections, please invite him to come to the Sweeping Mountain Villa to explain."

Wu Chengwei gritted his teeth but there was nothing he could do, so he had to go back home.

Qi Tian resented hearing the words, slammed the table and stood up in a rage, and said coldly, "He is so proud of the left owner of the Sweeping Mountain Villa! How dare you openly oppose me!"

Song Yuxian happened to pass by outside his study, so he listened to a few more words.Now the forces in the rivers and lakes are so powerful that even the city lord can't suppress them at all. To put it bluntly in Yanying City, Saoye Villa is a local snake, and the strong dragon can't suppress the local snake.

He shook his head, was not interested in listening any more, and turned around to leave.

"I want to meet the owner!"

Qi Tianyuan wanted to give up and left in a huff.

Qiu Xiaofeng was imprisoned in the prison of the Sweeping Mountain Villa. After a while, the owner of the Sweeping Villa, Zuo Dao, came in person. Qiu Xiaofeng didn't know what to do. Shangken would not let him go.

Zuodao was wearing a soap-colored robe with tufted sleeves and a silver-white Shu embroidered belt around his waist. His face was full of righteousness, which not only reassured Zhengdao, but also fascinated a group of little girls to death.The Zuo Zhuang Zhuo established the Chaoye Mountain Villa since he was a teacher at the age of 19. Until today, the Shaoye Mountain Villa has become a sect that is not easy to be provoked in the Jianghu.

Zuo Dao didn't sit down either, as the firelight in the cell made his face a bit gloomy.He stood in front of Qiu Xiaofeng with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Qiu Xiaofeng?"

Qiu Xiaofeng nodded, and yelled shamelessly at Zuo Dao, "Brother."

Zuo Dao was taken aback, and snorted coldly, "Brother Ling and I have already broken up with Qiu Xuli, don't think that everything will be safe if you fall into my hands. I knew you escaped from the Demon Sect, and today I finally caught you. Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Seeing that he couldn't get close, Qiu Xiaofeng stood a little further away, put away the smile on his face, straightened his sleeves, "Zuo Zhuangzhu arrested me to find out the secrets of the Demon Cult? How about asking for credit in this arena? "

"You're pretty smart."

Qiu Xiaofeng smiled, with a strange expression on his face, he moved closer, and said in a low voice, "I know the secrets of the Demon Cult."

"Say."

"It's just that even if I die, I will definitely not say it."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao went over and sat on the only chair over there, took a cup of hot tea from the stone table, took a sip, and said, "Could it be that Young Hero Qiu is trying to protect the Demon Cult? "

"Of course not."

"Then why?"

"Not to be said."

"Could it be true that Shaoxia Qiu and the devil are in love with each other?"

Zuodao's words were naturally to test him, if Qiu Xiaofeng had joined the Demon Sect, it would not be easy to ask some secrets.

"Unexpectedly, the dignified owner of the Zuoye Mountain Villa also listened to the rumors."

"Whether it's a rumor or not, Shaoxia Qiu knows it well." Zuo Dao's face was indifferent, and his words were as cold as Bingfeng.Zuodao said again, "You are now involved in a murder case, even if I, Chaoye Villa, behead you, no one would dare to come out and say a word."

"Framing and framing is just a common thing in the Jianghu."

"Mayflies live and die at night, and people are only one or two in the world. How about following the way of heaven?"

"The way of heaven doesn't care about the life and death of mayflies, what else is there for the way of heaven?"

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat everything as a straw dog. You and I are just forging and suffering in this good fortune. Why should Qiu Shaoxia go against the sky?"

"I am against the sky? I just see it as a cloud."

Zuodao paused for a moment with the hand holding the teacup, and then said, "It's useless to talk more, and I'll be punished."

Qiu Xiaofeng was pulled over and locked on the wooden stool, his hands and feet were bound.The guard on the left side nodded to him, took out the blade, pliers, and scissors from the stone platform, and threw the soldering iron into the stove.

Qiu Xiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Is Master Zuo planning to kill me?"

Zuo Dao glanced lightly, and said coldly, "If you tell me everything you saw in the Devil's Cult, I will let you go."

"I won't say it."

"Shave his fingernails clean." Zuo Dao said something, with a calm expression, as if he was used to it.

The attendant got the order, found an iron pliers, and clamped Qiu Xiaofeng's nails.

The icy iron was as cold as a knife on the neck, and Qiu Xiaofeng's hair was already wet with cold sweat.

In just a moment, the man grabbed the pliers and pulled out his entire fingernail, causing Qiu Xiao to faint from the pain.

Blood dripped down his fingers onto the ground, Qiu Xiaofeng's face turned pale.

The servant held the nail against the firelight, and the transparent nails shone with a moist red light.As soon as he let go, the nail was thrown into the fire and burned up.

"You still don't say?"

Qiu Xiaofeng said coldly, "I didn't expect You Yuanjian to teach you such an apprentice..."

"continue."

The servant got the order and pulled out the nail of his right index finger.

Qiu Xiaofeng held back the screams that were about to come out, water was already in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

He would never allow it.

Never allow others to destroy the Demon Cult.

He would never allow Dongli to die at the hands of the heretics one day.

Qiu Xiaofeng laughed a few times, and said, "Master Zuo doesn't know yet, does he? Your master You Yuanjian may be driven mad by the Demon Sect..."

"The old man has regarded Qiu Xuli as his beloved disciple since he was a child, so what does he have to do with me? You don't have to use him to provoke me."

Speaking of which, the guard pulled Qiu Xiaofeng's nails again.

Qiu Xiaofeng's face was stained red with blood, showing a downcast look.

Soon, Qiu Xiaofeng's fingers were not intact.

He felt in a daze that the room was turning around, round and round, which made him feel sick and want to vomit.

"Villa Master, City Master Qi has arrived."

Zuodao got up and walked out, ordering Haosheng to imprison Qiu Xiaofeng.

When the two met in the living room, they looked at each other for a while, and they both knew that the other party was not easy to deal with. Qi Wuyuan cut straight to the point, "I heard that the Zuo Zhuangzhu robbed my prisoner from the government today? I don't know why it happened."

"No."

Qi Wuyuan didn't think he would deny it outright, and said coldly, "Master Zuo wants to shirk it?"

Zuo Dao raised his hand, invited him to drink tea, and said calmly, "City Lord Qi, calm down, I did rob someone, but that person is not from your government. It is better for the City Lord not to intervene in Jianghu affairs."

"The murder case that happened in Yanying City should be investigated and interrogated by the old man. When did it become the responsibility of the Zuo Zhuangzhu?"

"Then people die every day in the rivers and lakes, and the city lord wants to interrogate them one by one?"

"If you talk about other things, that's all. The Lu family has reported the case, so it should be my government's business. I also ask the Zuo Zhuangzhu to make it easier." Qi Wuyuan lost his patience at the end of his words, and his tone became stiff.

"There's nothing wrong with this person for you," Zuo Dao put down his teacup, and said slowly, "It's just that he's dead, and I'm afraid the city lord can only take the body back with him."

Since Zuo Dao wants to rob someone, it means that that person is of great use to him, and he will not provoke troubles for no reason.Now it is said that people are dead, it must be for concealment.

"Master Zuo really doesn't want to let people go?"

Seeing that Zuo Dao didn't speak, Qi Wuyuan took out a gold medal from his sleeve, compared it to Zuo Dao, and said, "Could it be that the king's land in the whole world, are you sweeping the mountain village to plot rebellion?"

If one piece of the gold medal is left, one knows that this Qi Wuyuan will take him away no matter what, otherwise there is no need to move the prince out.Although Zuo Dao said he was not happy, he had no choice but to knelt on the ground and said, "Of course the grassroots dare not."

"Hurry up and bring people out!"

Zuodao clenched his fists tightly, and his nails sank into the flesh, so he had to send his subordinates to lead people up.

Qiu Xiaofeng was dragged to the living room, his fingers were dripping with blood, and he passed out.

"Abuse of lynching, you Chaoye Villa is really lawless."

"The city lord will take this person away soon." Zuo Dao gave a cold look, then walked out of the living room.Seeing that the master had left, the subordinate waved his hand and said, "City Master, please."

It's really annoying that this leftist is so defiant.Qi Wuyuan waved his sleeves and walked out, and Qiu Xiaofeng was driven away by his own guards.A few people secretly left the Sweeping Mountain Villa, and directly boarded the carriage to the city lord's mansion.

When Qiu Xiaofeng woke up again, it was already dusk.

Qiu Xiaofeng found out that his cell had been changed, not in the Sweeping Villa.

It's the same everywhere.

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't feel anything.

Not long after, the city lord Qi Wuyuan arrived. This city lord was over middle-aged, but he walked without the slightest pretense.Presumably also has some martial arts foundation.

The city owner came to Qiu Xiaofeng, stood still, frowned and asked, "What does Saoye Villa want to know from you?"

"What does the city lord want to know?"

"Boy, don't be ignorant."

Qiu Xiaofeng waved his bloody hand and said, "Now that nine of my fingers are injured, it seems that the city lord can only pull out my toenails."

"Nine? And one more?"

"I cut it off myself and threw it in the Devil's Cult." Qiu Xiaofeng said again.

"Saoye Mountain Villa arrested you to find out about the Devil's Cult?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I absolutely cannot let the Devil's Cult fall into the hands of the Sweeping Mountain Villa."

"Why?"

"The Demon Cult can only be dealt with by myself."

There are a lot of people who have a deep hatred against the Devil's Sect. Qi Wuyuan has never seen someone who has a deep hatred against the Devil's Sect and still keeps a secret. He thinks this kid in front of him is very weird, and at the same time he feels that he can be used.

So Qiu Xiaofeng was released from the prison, Qi Wuyuan summoned a doctor, bound up Qiu Xiaofeng's ten fingers, and gave him some decoction.This person cannot be arranged in the city lord's mansion, so Qiu Xiaofeng was taken to a secret private house and guarded day and night.
