Liaozhai Great Sage

After a moment.

Zhang Yuan trembled slightly, and then blood flowed from his ears and nose, and his breath was quickly cut off.

But after a few more hours, Zhang Yuan, who was out of breath, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up again.

His eyes were as black as ink, without pupils, and looked weird.

"It's finally the day when your fortune is exhausted. It's not easy to murder a servant. This person has accumulated too much merit in his previous life. He hasn't exhausted it for almost ten years after being a servant. If he didn't participate in the murder, then A sage in the world, it is estimated that he will have ten years of official career in his next life...but now, not only will he lose his life, but he will also suffer in his next life. The stroke was good just now, and once the stroke is made, the evil thoughts of harming people arise, literati Holding a pen to harm someone is like a thief killing someone with a knife, such evil thoughts will wipe out the last bit of merit of this person in an instant, and only then will I have the opportunity to murder."

Zhang Yuan muttered in his mouth, and then moved his hands and feet again, showing a satisfied look.

Looking at the neatly arranged memorials, I immediately lost them all.

"It's a matter of destroying the ancestors. This group of literati has more than failed than failed."

Chapter 723 Master Gathering

Five days have passed since Li Xiuyuan took over as magistrate.

In the past five days, he has not made much progress except for solving the case of Fang Shengyu's assassination. As for the case of the Shangyuan Festival fire, he seems to treat it as if it never happened. It's just to deal with the current case in the capital, but he didn't ask too much about the others.

But within these five days, the masters he wanted to summon expired one after another.

Du Ze, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, wisely chose to sell face to Li Xiuyuan, and released a warrior named Zhang Chao from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The swordsman Xia Houwu was invited from the Six Gates. As for Yan Chixia, he also found it in the Jiangnan area. According to the people from the Six Gates, when Yan Chixia heard Li Xiuyuan, please sit on a big bird and go to the capital immediately. The direction flew away.

And today.

However, Li Xiuyuan transferred all the masters he could transfer.

In the bodyguard bureau, the bodyguard master who practiced the iron cloth shirt method, Sha Jin.

The supernatural general with the power of the four elephants, Wu Xiang.

A well-known master in the capital, Zuo Qianhu.

The famous swordsman, Xia Houwu.

There is also the chief arrester of the six doors, Cui Wei.

General Yasha also greeted him, willing to assist one or two if necessary.

In addition to Li Chao who has been released, and Yan Chixia who has not yet arrived, there are six masters around.

At this moment, in the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, there are six tables of banquets, all of which are full of fine wines from the big altar, as well as whole, whole roasted sheep, chickens and ducks, and even the officials from the government. Fifty catties of the very strict beef were cooked, and there were not a few other fruits and vegetables, all of which were high-quality enough to pay tribute in the capital.

But at this moment, these so-called masters gathered together, drank heavily, and ate meat. Everyone's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and they didn't feel full after eating more than ten catties of wine and meat.

"Master Li said, after this meal, I will start work in the afternoon. In fact, the matter is also simple. To arrest all the monsters who harm the capital, there are some things that ordinary people can't do, so you have to do it. I hope you don't let Master Li down. "Cui Wei picked up the big bowl and said.

"I'm originally from the Li family, so it's only natural that I would sell my life to the young master." Sha Jin grinned and said, "After I have made a contribution, I will be a little tougher when I join the army in the future, so I won't be laughed at by Han Meng, no, by that Han Shizhong's martial arts Wasted."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup and drank it down.

"The scholar has become the magistrate? This official has been promoted very quickly. Hey, it seems that I will change my name to Master Li, but then again, the scholar is so capable, what do you guys do? It can be done by one person." Xia Houwu was cutting a leg of lamb with his sword.

"Xia Houwu, what do you mean by that?"

A man in his thirties who was released from the cell beside him asked.

His name is Li Chao, and he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child. Now he is a martial arts master.

Xiahou Wudao: "It's nothing else, just my martial arts, I can't go three rounds in the hands of that scholar. The scholar learned the method of horse fighting, and got a dragon colt, and an invincible shot that swallows gold with a tiger's mouth The gun is like a tiger with wings, and because he is young, vigorous, and talented in martial arts, he is the only one who hits you and me, counting a dust gold, no problem."

"Within thirty rounds, all of them will be picked and killed by him."

Li Chao's eyes widened: "No way, that Lord Li has such skills? I have seen that Lord Li before, he is a scholar, Xia Houwu, you can't lie to me."

"Xia Houwu is right. He has a magic horse, a magic weapon in his hands, and he is young and strong. If he is not careful, he can pick and kill a martial arts master in one round. Others learn superior martial arts, you learn fist, foot and stick skills, there is no comparison, if the scholar dismounts and fights, you can still pass the trick, haha, don’t call me if you have good wine, Xia Houwu, you are too unrighteous Bar."

A rough voice sounded, and then a big bearded man descended from the sky and landed in the yard with a bang.

This man was tall and fierce, with a vicious look on his face, but he gave people the feeling of being bold and straightforward, which made people feel disgusted.

"Yan Chixia, you are finally here. Where have you been hiding all this time? You will make it easier for me to find you." Xia Houwu's eyelids jumped, he stood up immediately, and immediately grabbed the sword beside him: "First and I'll try it out and say it."

"No comparison, no comparison, I know that your temperament has improved a lot, but your temper is still too impatient. I will agree to compete with you when your competitive personality subsides, and I did not hide. The last time Jinling City After the First World War, I practiced while slaying demons and killing demons, from south to north. I followed the ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan's command to fight everywhere, killed many evil demons, and punished many evil ghosts."

"Hey, now those ghosts and gods call me the living Zhong Kui, thinking that I am the reincarnation of Zhong Kui. Interesting, interesting. Maybe I will die one day, and if I don't make it right, I will really become a door god."

Yan Chixia came striding forward with a sword behind her back. When she laughed, her voice was like cracking through gold and cracking stones, which made people's eardrums hurt.

"Damn it, you didn't call me when you went to kill demons? If I went with you, I would kill no fewer demons than you." Xiahou Wu said.

Yan Chixia smiled and said: "If you can quit lust, I will invite you to kill demons and ghosts together. The monks who subdue demons and demons will have nothing to do. The fear is that they will be confused by ghosts and fall into a place of eternal doom. We practice The middleman is the same, are you still going to the brothel to spend the reward silver you received by killing the bandits as before? This is not good, this is self-willing and depraved, and it will affect the practice. Look at the scholar, there are many wives and concubines at home , everyone is as beautiful as a flower, and his bones are ecstasy, but there is no woman around him, what is this called? This is temperance. So you should not be as good as a scholar in martial arts."

Xia Houwu's face became hot with embarrassment, but he said, "What's wrong with liking beauty, is it possible that you are still a child like you?"

"Don't underestimate the boy's body, it's very good at warding off evil spirits," Yan Chixia said.

"Yan Chixia, let's not talk about the past for now. I am Cui Wei from Six Doors. We have met before. This time Master Li invited you to help. I hope you don't follow your temper. The situation in the capital is very serious. Chaos, if you come here indiscriminately, it will be bad if you spoil the master's plan." Cui Wei said.

Yan Chixia's futon-sized hand casually grabbed a jug of fine wine, lifted the seal and drank it: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion with the scholar's affairs, and I won't mess around. If it wasn't for his invitation, I'd still drink it." I won’t come to this capital, the only person in the world worthy of my help is the scholar, what he can’t do, no one can do.”

"It's so hypocritical, I'm very simple, he saved my life, I will repay the favor." Xiahou Wu said beside him.

While chatting for the past few days, Li Chao on the side got together with Sha Jin: "Sha Jin, who did you practice the iron cloth shirt method with? My master used to know it too, but he didn't teach me, because I If you don't have enough patience, you won't be able to learn this boring martial art."

"I learned it from an old monk in Shaolin Temple, how about you?" Sha Jin said.

Li Chao's eyes lit up: "My master is also from Shaolin Temple, his name is Monk Han, do you know him?"

"I don't know. My master's name is not Monk Han, and he didn't tell me his name. He should be a very powerful monk. Later, when I was walking darts, I planned to go to Shaolin Temple to meet that monk. Unfortunately, he has already passed away. , According to people in the temple, that master has achieved a true fruition and went to heaven to become an Arhat."

Sha Jin said: "My iron cloth shirt method can only be regarded as average, because I am not good at Buddhism, and I can't comprehend the essence of it. If it weren't for the young master, I would still be performing boulders on the chest at the street, but when it comes to martial arts, this place is the most powerful It must be Wu Xiang, do you know what the court appointed him to do? He is called General Shenli."

"His strength is even praised by the young master."

Wu Xiang at the side raised his head when he heard that he was mentioned. He was holding a roasted lamb with both hands, mouthful of wine and meat, with a dazed expression: "What do you want me to do?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just chat casually." Sha Jin said.

"Oh."

Wu Xiang continued to bury his head in eating and drinking.

"Cui Wei, what happened in the capital recently is worthy of scholars calling so many experts, but there must be more than enough to deal with monsters and ghosts." After eating the wine and meat, Yan Chixia asked.
