The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

In other words, if you cut off a person's fortune, you must be an enemy, not to mention that Zhong Wen cut off his fortune.

As for the merchants who have lost their burdens, there is a lot of money in the burdens, except for the gold pancakes, but those with some jewels are estimated to be worth thousands of dollars.

If someone is willing to pay a lot of money for these jewels, the price can be even higher.

With so much money, at this time, not everyone is willing to let go, otherwise, these masked people would not gather here, vowing to kill Zhong Wen, a Taoist priest, in the guest house .

"Everyone be careful in a while, that Niubi seems to be tricky, so don't be careless."

After the leading masked man finished speaking, he trotted directly to the back of the Honghua Inn, and the masked men behind him also followed.

Not long after, these masked people climbed over the courtyard wall of the inn and entered the backyard.

"Shh, keep your voice down, thin man, you are quick, you go in first."

The leading masked man confessed softly to the thinnest masked man, and then brought a few people to the window of Zhong Wen's room, waiting quietly for the thinnest masked man. The person facing him turned into the room through the window.

"who?"

At this moment, Zhong Wen, who was meditating, was awakened by the sound from the window and called out.

"Big brother."

The thin man who turned over the window, after hearing Zhong Wen's call, immediately shouted to the leading masked man outside the window.

"The one who will kill you."

The masked leading man had already heard Zhong Wen's voice outside the window, turned directly into the room from the window, and shouted towards the inside with a knife in his hand.

However, the room was pitch-black, let alone a person, and he couldn't even see a ghost, and he didn't know which direction his knife was pointing at.

Zhong Wen was standing in a corner of the house with the Meteorite Sword in his hand, quietly watching the few people who climbed in from the window.

In such a dark environment, others could not see, but Zhong Wen could still see clearly.

Although it is not as clear as during the day, but as long as the consciousness shows up, it is basically the same as during the day.

However, in normal time, Zhong Wen rarely releases his spiritual consciousness. After all, after releasing his spiritual consciousness, he will inevitably divert part of his attention.

The Meteorite Sword in Zhong Wen's hand has been wrapped in a piece of cloth since he left Longquan Temple, and has never been taken apart.

But tonight, it seemed that he had to let the meteoric iron sword in his hand show his real body.

When these masked men climbed into the house from the window, their eyes were also darkened, and they all huddled together, holding swords in their hands, and were alert to the front, but they didn't know which direction to cut.

At this moment, there is only one sentence in their hearts: Where are people?What about people?

They can't see people, but Zhong Wen can see them. Although they are different from daytime, they can still see things.

Zhong Wen looked at the few people by the window very calmly, wondering why these people carried swords and hid in his room.

But thinking about it, the one who can hide in other people's room with a sword must be a murderer.

When Zhong Wen heard the shout of the leading masked man just now, he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, he finally confirmed that the shouter was talking to him in the inn during the daytime. The Yacha in the middle.

"A yamen servant came here with a sword in the middle of the night. It seems that I ruined his good deed today."

Zhong Wen thought to himself, estimating the thoughts of the leader who made the call.

As for whether it is or not, this is already obvious.

On the bright side, I have nothing to do with this yamen servant. Apart from my suspicion in my heart that this yamen servant is related to the theft case, I can't think of any other reason.

However, judging from the current situation, this yamen must have a lot to do with the theft case, maybe he instigated the theft case.

"Fire folds."

Just as the room was silent, the leading masked man yelled.

Immediately afterwards, a masked man next to him immediately took out a fire pocket from his arms, and after blowing it on, he was about to search for the Taoist priest in the house.

When the fire folder was blown brighter, they also couldn't see clearly the shape of Qing in the room, and they couldn't see Zhong Wen standing in the corner of the room.

After all, Huozhezi is not an oil lamp, let alone a flashlight.

Furthermore, when a person lights up an oil lamp in front of him, he cannot see clearly what is in the distance, which is basically the same as the darkness under the lamp.

Zhong Wen only had a meteoric iron sword in his hand, and nothing else, otherwise, Zhong Wen would have taken a stone in his hand and extinguished the fire.

In other words, in addition to his superb swordsmanship and spear skills, Zhong Wen has also practiced a lot of supernatural powers.

Although Zhong Wen couldn't hurt someone with a finger of internal energy, he could still hurt someone with a stone.

As for being able to kill people, it requires a very deep inner energy to do it. At present, Zhong Wen is unlikely to have such an achievement.

Zhong Wen looked at these masked people calmly, thinking in his mind, how to deal with them, should they be killed or what?

"Brother, Niubi is over there."

The sharp-eyed thin man vaguely saw a figure in the corner of the room, pointed loudly at Zhong Wen in the corner, and shouted softly.

"Huh, the Yacha is not doing well. In the middle of the night, I carry a sword and hide in a private house. No one dares to say anything if the poor Taoist kills you."

Zhong Wen didn't think about whether to kill or stay anymore, he took two steps forward, and pointed the Meteorite Sword in his hand at the masked people at the window.

When these masked people heard Zhong Wen's words, their hearts beat.

They originally thought that it was impossible for others to guess their identities because their faces were covered, but when the Taoist priest revealed their identities, they wanted to kill the bully in front of them.

If people really knew their identities, not to mention the county officials would not let them go, even ordinary people would probably spit a few mouthfuls of saliva after seeing them.

"Kill that Niubi."

The leader was full of hatred in his heart, raised his sword, yelled, and then slashed at the Taoist in front of him.

Several other masked people, after hearing their boss's shout, also waved their swords and slashed towards the shadow.

"It seems that the servants are going to be impoverished to death, so let this sword in my hand end your lives."

"Crack, choke, whoop, bang..."

Just as Zhong Wen finished speaking, there was the sound of swords colliding, followed by the sound of swords piercing into flesh, and then the sound of people falling to the ground.

Six masked yamen servants hid in guest houses carrying swords in the middle of the night. They were neither officials nor bandits. If they were killed, they would be killed. Who would be able to track them down?

Of course, it also depends on who is standing behind these people. If it is an official like the county magistrate, then it is hard to say.

However, Zhong Wen didn't really kill those masked people. Every sword he slashed towards their hands and legs.

In less than half a minute, all the six masked people had their limbs broken by Zhong Wen, and they fell on the floor of the room, yelling.

"Niubi, if you dare to kill me, I will make you die badly."

The masked leader in the lead, saw that the ox-nosed man in front of them had their arms and legs broken, they could not leave, they could not go, they stayed, and they were afraid of being killed, so they had to shout loudly to scare away the man in front of them. A Taoist priest.

Of course, his actions like this are also for the purpose of attracting the people in the inn. As long as they are not secretly killed, others will be afraid of them.

However, what they met was not someone else, but a little Taoist priest who had just come down the mountain to travel. In Zhong Wen's eyes, he basically didn't know much about human affairs and how to judge people and behave.

As for whether to kill Zhong Wen or keep him, he has no idea yet, but if he really recruits people from the inn and is found out, he will not be afraid.

As the leading masked man shouted loudly, such a big movement would definitely wake up the people in the inn.

At this moment, no matter whether it was the residents in the guest house or the shop guys, they all basically walked out of their respective rooms and walked towards the room where Zhong Wen was.

"Daoist, what happened? Why is there such a big commotion? Is there anyone else in your room?"

The shopkeeper of the inn approached the room, knocked on the door, and asked Zhong Wen inside.

"Shopkeeper, I..." Just as Zhong Wen opened his mouth to respond, the masked leader opened his mouth to call out his identity.

With a "bang", before the masked man finished speaking, Zhong Wen kicked him unconscious.

Although he spoke quickly, he was not as fast as Zhong Wen's feet. If this masked man revealed his identity, he would definitely be in a lot of trouble.

Although Zhong Wen was not afraid, he didn't want to cause more trouble. If he could solve it by force, he would definitely solve it by force, so as to save a lot of trouble.

"Shopkeeper, please hurry up and report to the county captain that some thugs have broken into the room where Pindao lives."

Zhong Wensui kicked several other masked people unconscious, and then responded to the guest house outside the house.

"What? There are gangsters, my God."

The shopkeeper of the inn, after hearing the reply from the Taoist priest in the house, let out a howl, immediately turned around and trotted away, opened the door of the inn, and went to the direction of the county government to report to the official.

As for whether he will listen to Zhong Wen's confession and report to the county magistrate, then I don't know.

In this Badong County, Zhong Wen only knew one official, and because he thought that the county lieutenant Zeng Fan could judge the case impartially, he thought of reporting the case to the county lieutenant.

Of course, Zhong Wen also hoped that through Zeng Fan's hands, the murder case would be settled, and also to prevent more troubles.

If there is a backer behind these yamen, it will inevitably cause more troubles.

If an official related to these government officials came, then this matter would not be within Zhong Wen's control.

Chapter 145 The Local Clan

Everyone in the guest house was basically agitated by the movement just now.With such a big commotion, it was impossible for anyone to fall back asleep.

Everyone gathered in the lobby of the guest house, not knowing what happened, and they were all asking the people nearby.

However, following the buddy's reminder and explanation, everyone present also became afraid.

Some gangsters broke into the guest house. This is already a vicious incident. If anyone of them is killed, there is no place to complain. What's more, most of them are not residents of this county. There are even more foreigners.

lose money?That also depends on whether you have the ability to go to court?Then don't even think about it.

There was a lot of noise in the living room of the guest house, and everyone was familiar with each other, and no one wanted any big things to happen, let alone being involved in it.

Of course, there are also some timid people who return to the room, pack up their things, and prepare to leave this place of right and wrong early.

For such a person, no one would say anything. After all, it is best to encounter this kind of thing rarely.

The guy in the inn began to appease the guests.

But who wants to listen to the guy?Bandits broke into the guest house, this is a terrible thing, avoid it if you can.

"Everyone, everyone, my boss has already reported to the official, everyone, please calm down and wait for the official to come and deal with it."

The buddy's words may be able to play a little role, but in the current situation, it can only arouse everyone's emotions.

"There are bandits breaking into your inn in the middle of the night. If I am killed, what will my family do? These bandits must be related to you."

A middle-aged man in the hall felt aggrieved after hearing what the waiter said. Thinking about the inn he lived in, there were robbers breaking in in the middle of the night. Based on his guess, it must have something to do with this inn. Yes, maybe it's still a combination of inside and outside.

A guest house was broken into by gangsters in the middle of the night. In everyone's understanding, it was either for money or death. There must be a reason for this.

Of course, some people think that this is a collusion between the guest house and those gangsters. Otherwise, who would break into some gangsters with swords in the middle of the night?

"Guest officer, don't slander my guest house, otherwise, you will have no good fruit to eat."

The guy is not a timid person, he is also a person with some knowledge, what's more, the owner he follows has some face in this Badong County, not to mention the reputation of the guest house, no one can slander .

But at this moment, Zhong Wen, who was in the room, had been standing aside, quietly waiting for the official to come over.

Of course, what he was waiting for was that the county lieutenant Zeng Fan would bring someone over.

He could hear the noise in the hall, but he didn't want to open the door to persuade him.

It's about the masked Yamen, he is not good for letting people into his house, otherwise, destroying the place where the crime happened, or being broken in and waking up these people, he will A lot of waste, a lot of tongue, and a lot of trouble.

In order to avoid trouble, he had no choice but to choose this way.

After a lapse of two quarters of an hour, outside the gate of the inn, a large number of government servants and officials suddenly poured in.

"Where are the people? Where are the gangsters?"

When this group of officials and servants poured into the lobby of the guest house, they shouted loudly to everyone.

The person who came was Zeng Fan, the county captain of Badong County.

The owner of the inn, after hearing Zhong Wen's orders in the room, really went to the county government office and reported the case to the county magistrate.

Although when he went to the county government office, he originally reported the case to the county government official, but the person he saw was only the night duty government agent.

Fortunately, the county lieutenant is the chief officer in charge of public security and criminal cases. After hearing the report from the inn shopkeeper, the yamen on duty at night went to Zeng Fan's mansion to report the case. Only then did the county lieutenant Zeng Fan intervene.

If it was during the day and the county lieutenant was not in the county government office, or was absent temporarily, maybe it was an official from Qiye who took over the matter.

"Reporting to the county captain, in this room, the Taoist chief is also in the room."

The storekeeper pointed to the room where Zhong Wen was, and responded to the county captain.

On the way to the guest house, the store owner had already reported the matter to the county captain. Although he didn't know who those thugs were, he still knew Zhong Wen's identity as a Taoist priest.

The county captain, Zeng Fan, heard that some bandits broke into the Taoist priest's house, and began to suspect the reason for this incident.
