one's door

Although the other three didn't have time to read it, but the registration document was in a strange style, and there was also the autograph of the city guard Zhou Cang, which was recognized as good, so they didn't care.As long as the things are in hand and handed over to Wu Shao, Xiao Chongwen and the others will be done.As for how Young Master Wu will deal with Zhang Yan later, although they have some guesses, they will not participate at all.

At the same time, at a small table not far from Zhang Yan's table, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man witnessed the whole process of Zhang Yan getting drunk.After that, he hurriedly checked out, got up and left the restaurant, and even deliberately passed by Zhang Yan's table, taking a few extra glances at Zhang Yan's drunken state.When he came to the door, the man exchanged glances with a green-skinned bastard across the street, then nodded before walking away quickly.

Chapter 66 The Paper Man

"Should we bring him back now?"

"Fuck! Go away as soon as you get your stuff. You know what Wu Shao's methods are. I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Taking a glance at Zhang Yan, who seemed to be drunk and unconscious, Xiao Chongwen made a decisive decision to call himself and the others to leave. .Zhang Yan?It's rare for him to take care of it. Whether it's life or death is up to Young Master Wu to arrange.

The other three people were originally headed by Xiao Chongwen, and now they feel reasonable after hearing the words, so the four of them stood up together and called the waiter to hand over the money ticket. Suddenly, a large group of green-skinned bastards poured in from outside, and before Xiao Chongwen and the others could speak, they surrounded them, together with Zhang Yan, who was lying on the table drunk.

"What do you want to do?!" Xiao Chongwen was startled, but he was still calm. He even vaguely guessed that these people might be the backhands arranged by Wu Shao.It's just that he was a bit slow in withdrawing, and now it looks like he's going to be caught in it.

Green-skinned bastards usually hide away, but dudes like Xiao Chongwen are not very afraid. Even if the restaurant's door is blocked at this time, the surroundings are full of people. It seems that there are no less than thirty bastards who come here. This is a rare big battle.Moreover, many bastards have bulging sleeves, probably hiding sticks or short knives, and they look like they have come to meet someone for a fight.

"Oh? It's Mr. Xiao? We're not reconciled to Mr. Xiao here. Let's settle the score with him!" The leader knew Xiao Chongwen, and the vigilance on Xiao Chongwen's face was relaxed with a single sentence.But then he raised his hand and pointed, but Xiao Chongwen was stunned for a moment.

Because the person the green-skinned bastard was pointing at was not Zhang Yan who Xiao Chongwen thought was lying on the table, but Ma Shan beside him! ?

wrong!Ma Shan?Ma Shan? !

Xiao Chongwen was startled, and then found that Ma Shan standing beside him suddenly changed his appearance, except for the clothes, he turned into Zhang Yan!

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Xiao Chongwen made sure that he was not dazzled, and the person standing beside him wearing Ma Shan's clothes turned into Zhang Yan's appearance at some point!

"Brother Xiao, you guys, what are your expressions? What are you doing?"

Before Xiao Chongwen could speak, the leader of the bastard pointed to a miserable companion with ointment wrapped around his face, looked at Ma Shan and asked: "Zhang Yan! You have such heavy hands! My brother is not I asked you a question, and you beat him like this. Do you really think that you can run wild with two fists and kicks from the military meeting? Today will let you know how powerful it is!"

"No! Are you sick? I'm Ma Shan! Why are you pointing at me and calling Zhang Yan? Brother Xiao, Brother Yang, Brother Liu, what's the matter with you? Why are you refunding?"

Xiao Chongwen grabbed Zhang Yan's head lying on the table, but at this time it should be Zhang Yan's drunk face, but what Xiao Chongwen saw was Ma Shan's appearance!

Not only Xiao Chongwen and the others were confused, but Ma Shan himself was so frightened that he almost peed his pants when he saw the horrific scene in front of him.

"What, what's going on? Me, what's wrong with me? It's impossible!"

Ma Shan, who turned into Zhang Yan, couldn't accept this fact at all, turned his head and was about to run, he wanted to find a mirror to take a good look at himself, or pour himself a basin of water to see if he was drunk The eyes are delusional.

And because the situation was so weird, the three of Xiao Chongwen were dumbfounded and even frightened, so they didn't pull Ma Shan who had turned into Zhang Yan for a while.

"Want to run? Call me!"

Green-skinned bastards generally have serious attacks, they are here for revenge, not to kill, so they usually have a stick in their hands, and they also greet the legs and feet, basically they don't aim at the head or the genitals.They are also afraid of hurting or killing people.Afterwards, he still hoped to make a fortune from Zhang Yan.

But what these green-skinned bastards don't know is that they are looking for revenge, but not everyone among them is like this.Two of them had daggers rather than sticks hidden in their sleeves.

"Hey! What are you doing! Stop hitting! Stop hitting! Ouch! What are you squeezing! Stop! Stop it for me!"

Xiao Chongwen and the other three were squeezed into the outer circle at once. These bastards knew their appearance, and even if they were not afraid, they would not take the initiative to provoke them. They just hit that doggy "Zhang Yan".

But Xiao Chongwen and the others were not sure if the person being beaten now was Zhang Yan or Ma Shan?But their shouts didn't have much effect in front of those green-skinned bastards who surrounded them and fought hard, and their strength was not enough to push them away from the crowd.In the last [-] to [-] breaths, the green-skinned bastards seemed to stop after the sound of cries of pain could not be heard from inside.

"Hey! This guy seems to be losing his breath?"

"Blood? Made! Who used the knife?! I'm into Nima!"

Seeing blood, this is actually not a big deal in the circle of green-skinned bastards, but using a knife is not a trivial matter.Everyone came out to hang out, really thought it was fighting and killing?Isn't it just for a bite to eat?If you don’t eat it, others will eat it!Using a knife and killing people, who can escape?Are you going to eat rats in the Yamen dungeons?

Hearing the words "no breath" and "moving the knife", the three of Xiao Chongwen gasped, took advantage of the looseness of the crowd, and hurriedly pushed through a gap and rushed in.

"This!"

The goal was that "Zhang Yan" who was wearing Ma Shan's clothes fell to the ground, the clothes under both armpits were already soaked in blood, and the blood stains on the ground were rapidly expanding.The whole person's face was pale, and he was still twitching slightly, but he could already tell that he was exhaling more than inhaling.After a few breaths, his chest collapsed and he was completely out of breath.

"Dead!"

"run!"

How can the green skins have the courage to shoulder the murder case?What's more, when it happened suddenly, most of them thought that today they were here to beat up an unsightly person, and no one thought that they would kill someone.It's strange not to run away thinking "it's none of my business".

A swarm of bees ran out, and in the blink of an eye, all the young bastards in the tavern disappeared.The guests trapped inside and the corpse on the ground were left alone.

"Oh, the knife that went into the armpit? This hand is black enough! There is a hole on one side, that's what two people did! Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the green skin on the street to do the death-defying moves in the army? Scary!"

Without waiting for the spectators around to come over, Zhang Yan, who was lying on the table drunk, stood up and squatted beside the corpse on the ground. While talking, he reached out and took out his document and a set of documents from the corpse's arms. A paper man the size of half a palm.

Because Zhang Yan's squatting position blocked his back, others couldn't see his face clearly, nor could they see the face of the corpse on the ground.And the people outside the door haven't come in yet.Therefore, only the three of Xiao Chongwen saw Zhang Yan change from Ma Shan's face back to his own in horror.And Ma Shan also changed from "Zhang Yan" back to his original appearance.

It's just...the transformed Ma Shan was out of breath, while Zhang Yan was alive and well with a smile on his face.

Chapter 67 Get Out

The strange scene was seen by Xiao Chongwen and the other three, making them stand on their heads with hairs all over their bodies. Looking at Zhang Yan, an inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"you you you……"

He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.In addition to fear, their minds are full of questions at this moment.

Why did Ma Shan and Zhang Yan switch appearances just now?

Why did Zhang Yan, who was clearly drunk, no longer smell of alcohol?

Could it be that Zhang Yan deliberately arranged all of this?But how did he do it?

Zhang Yan smiled, and with a movement of spirit in his hand, the little paper figure covered with talisman strokes turned into a smear of dust in his palm, and it fell on the ground without leaving any traces.

How can people like Xiao Chongwen understand the magic of Taoist methods?

It's just a blindfold, isn't it easy to fool ordinary people like Xiao Chongwen?Even Yuan Kai-level martial artists who have cultivated vitality will inevitably be bluffed if they are caught off guard.This is the advantage of Daoist methods in Huangtianyu.

Because it has never happened before, there is no way to guard against it.

Of course, the paper figurine is not just a simple trick to conceal the eyes, which is just one of its abilities. Its full name is "Four Senses Real Sensation Defense".It is a spell that can extend the caster's four senses, namely hearing, sight, touch, and smell, and use the location of the paper doll as a spying point.At the same time, within a limited distance, it can replace the caster to perform some superficial spells.

The original idea was to "see what they want to do" with a paper man caught in the paperwork as a trick.But he didn't expect that the subsequent changes would be so rapid.

Those green-skinned bastards Zhang Yan knew the first few people, especially the miserable-looking man with gauze wrapped around his face, the one he cleaned up at the entrance of Zhuzui Alley yesterday when he returned home.What a coincidence?As soon as he was "drunk", those green-skinned bastards who came to find the place just rushed over?If he hadn't been able to clear the spirit of alcohol with spiritual energy, wouldn't the drunken appearance be slaughtered by others, without even a chance to escape?

That's why Zhang Yan hurriedly let the paper figurine use his tricks to reverse his appearance with Ma Shan's to see what would happen.

As a result, Zhang Yan also had a new understanding of the young master Wu who hadn't met yet.That is by no means a simple dandy, not to mention cruel and merciless, but also has some tricks and methods.And he is also alert to the situation. The Liangzi formed by Zhang Yancai and the Qingpis yesterday has been used today.

If it was Zhang Yan who bumped into it by himself, that Young Master Wu could completely leave him alone afterwards.It will even leave Zhang Yan with the fate of "Who asked you to provoke those green skins? You deserve it!".

Moreover, when Zhang Yan pretended to be drunk, his attention was always on Ma Shan who was beaten for him. He witnessed the process of the two men slipping out the short knives in their sleeves and stabbing Ma Shan's deadly armpit. , that action is definitely not something that ordinary green skin can do by fighting on the street, it must be done after special training.So much so that if it wasn't for the blood flow in the chaos, no one would have noticed the signs of Ma Shan's dying.

This is to sit dead Zhang Yan can not live!

But it's a pity, Zhang Yan is no longer the Zhang Yan he used to be.Not only did he avoid a trouble now, but he also killed an enemy who had participated in framing him before, so he collected some "interest".

Here Zhang Yan just watched Ma Shan die on the ground, and the three of Xiao Chongwen in front of him were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Go and follow five yamen servants, blocking the restaurant guests who were about to leave this place of right and wrong again.

"Master! Dead! Dead here!"

It's like seeing your own father, the one who ran over and almost hugged his legs was the shopkeeper of the restaurant.He was already crying, not pity Ma Shan who was dead at the scene, but himself, how much business would such a murder happen in the store?I don't know if the boss will just let him go when he finds out?Worried about the days to come.

"Go and have a look." The leader who came in was a headhunter wearing an official robe. He glanced at the shopkeeper and didn't speak to him.At the same time, a pair of eyes swept across the faces of everyone around them with a sharp look around.

"See who did it?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied: "I saw it, it was a group of bastards, they rushed in and said they wanted to take revenge on that person, and then they went up and were beaten with sticks, and when they dispersed, there was blood, and the person was gone after a few pumps." Hush, I'm dead." The shopkeeper spoke quickly without stuttering, and immediately presented what he saw.

"No one is allowed to leave. We will talk about it after we finish asking. You, go back and temporarily close the four doors. You are allowed in and not allowed out." After the head catcher raised his voice, the remaining three guards behind him began to interrogate the restaurant with a cold face. people.The other person ran back to ask for the order of the Yamen, and then went to the city gate guard to ask for assistance.

"Boss, the man who died on the ground was called Ma Shan. He was the concubine of the owner of the Qianfu House in the city. He had some reputation in the city. He had two stab wounds on his body, both in the vital parts of the armpit. This method was aimed at killing him. I went, and it was very clean, unlike..."

Before the yamen servant finished speaking, he was interrupted by the arrester raising his hand and asked instead, "Ma Shan?"

"Yes, boss, someone nearby has identified him."

The catcher frowned, walked up to Xiao Chongwen, and asked, "Are you sure that the person who died on the ground was Ma Shan?"

The corpse was blood-stained, and there were many bruises on the face, but Xiao Chongwen and the others still nodded in agreement. The one lying on the ground at this time was indeed Ma Shan.

"But, he was not like this just now! He..." It was Yang Lin who was anxious, and eagerly told the strange scene he experienced just now, but even if he saw it with his own eyes, he knew what was in his words It's unbelievable, so the words are obviously weak.

"The appearance of the two people changed? So those Qingpis recognized the wrong person? Now they changed back again?" The head catcher's face was very ugly.Based on his knowledge, his first reaction was that the other party was teasing him.But thinking of something else, he suppressed the anger in his heart again.Turning his head to look at the other person who was standing beside the corpse, it was said that Zhang Yan returned after changing his appearance.

"You are Zhang Yan? I have an impression of your appearance, you are not..."

"Head arrest! Look, this is a document, a document to plead guilty." Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhang Yan took out the document he had just put in his arms, held it up high, and said loudly , so that the whole restaurant could hear what he said.Because from the moment the head catcher entered the door, he noticed that the other party had sized him up several times without leaving a trace, and there was an imperceptible killing intent in his eyes.

So, show your identity first, block all possible paths for the other party, and don't care if you are the second person arranged by that young master Wu as expected.

Chapter 68

It was time to eat, and the food in this restaurant has always been good. It belongs to an old restaurant, so there are many people stuck in the restaurant at this moment.I have long been watching the excitement upstairs and downstairs.After seeing the yamen servants coming in, they all stayed where they were and waited for release. Now they all looked sideways when they heard Zhang Yan's words.

After all, it is very rare for a person to be exonerated from a crime. Generally, petty crimes will not be exiled into the army. Those who are exiled are those who have committed major crimes, and the places they go to are dangerous places, and their status as criminal soldiers is often consumed on the battlefield. It is a narrow escape that leaves room for it. It is rare to have one or two throughout the year, and it is still heard.Now that I see one with my own eyes, I will naturally remember the name, Zhang Yan.

"Howling for what?" Catcher's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't speak out because of so many things in his heart.

Indeed, as Zhang Yan expected, not only Xiao Chongwen and the others and those green skins were the means of that Mr. Wu, but also the head catcher.

There are two types of yamen servants in the yamen. One is responsible for the internal affairs of the yamen, such as punishment, guards, chores, and guards of honor.One is responsible for the external affairs of the yamen, such as search and arrest, escort, investigation, and patrol.And the two kinds of yamen servants will be further subdivided into some specific responsibilities.This time, the team that entered the restaurant was the team that specializes in investigating various cases, also known as the police.

The leading catcher belongs to the highest rank among the yamen servants, and is the head catcher.

This time, coming here was the final link in a series of measures arranged by Wu Qingling.That is to say, he is responsible for collecting the corpses, or dealing with emergencies. Even if Zhang Yan is not killed by the green skins, he can use verbal attacks to grab the talk and take the people down first.

But before the head catcher could finish his sentence, let alone show his verbal trap and make Zhang Yan jump, Zhang Yan directly revealed his own protective weapon.

I, having cleared my crimes, am a good citizen, and I have documents to prove it!

It was such a simple message, but it blocked this headhunter who had a lot of scheming in his heart.

ignore?But the document was held high above the head, and people with better eyesight could even see the two scarlet stamps on the document and Zhou Cang's vigorous pen signature.If this is reckless, wouldn't it be directly against the Guard City Guard Mansion?Even to a big extent, it is to be dismissive of the effectiveness of the army's seal, let alone a headhunter, even Wu Yuan, the city governor of Langyuan City, can't bear it.

But if you ignore it, what should you say next?You can't take people back, can you?There were so many people present, if both eyes could see that Zhang Yan had nothing to do with Ma Shan's death on the ground, there would be no reason to take him, and the gossip was also beyond the reach of a small captor.

What's more, this matter can't be brought to the table at all.You can only come in secret, and you have to follow the normal rules in the open.

"Hey, poor man, isn't this worried about your misunderstanding? This pleading document has already been signed and approved by Mr. Zhou Cangzhou, the garrison guard of Langyuan City. Now it is because the Wang official of the yamen said that it will take two days before he is registered. , so I wear it close to my body, lest the poor man misunderstand and kill me as a escaped crime."

It's all said and done, and Zhang Yan doesn't mind stating what he means.It seems that a small and cautious person is trembling to find a security for himself, but in the eyes of people with ulterior motives in the field, there are two other words: cunning.

It's not easy!

Even Zhang Yan thoughtfully showed the apology document in his hand to a few curious diners who stretched their necks behind, and said grandly, "Let's pass it on, and let you guys see it as a surprise."

After the rest of the yamen servants finished asking about the situation and left the addresses and names of all the people present, the restaurant reopened, and Ma Shan's body on the ground was carried away with a door panel. Covered by a door curtain.

"Hey, I didn't expect a drink to bring such a disaster to Ma Shan. I feel guilty!" Zhang Yan stood behind Xiao Chongwen and the other three, his words were painful, but when the three of them heard the sound and looked back at him, they saw that there was no expression on his face. An undisguised smile.

For some reason, Xiao Chongwen and the others felt for the first time in their hearts that they didn't seem to know Zhang Yan in front of them, and felt that the other party had been replaced by another person for more than two years.

hiss!Thinking of the horrific face-changing incident that happened to Ma Shan before, the three of Xiao Chongwen didn't even dare to talk to Zhang Yan anymore, and followed the yamen servant carrying Ma Shan's body away as quickly as the wind was blowing under their feet.

away.

Zhang Yan watched the crowd close together, and the smile on his face did not restrain himself.He gained a lot today.Not only got the word "Wu Shao", but also relied on good luck and adaptability to solve the opponent's first round of moves.

"It's really endless!" Zhang Yan sighed in his heart.Today, it seemed that he was going smoothly and he resolved the other party's methods invisible without encountering any difficulties, but in fact, if he made the slightest mistake in every link, the person who was lying on the door panel today and was covered with a cloth and carried away should be It's him.

"It's hard to deal with!" Zhang Yan knew very well that the main reason he won this game was "surprise".Who would have known that he came back from the dead with the means of Taoist Dragon and Tiger Mountain?That young master Wu's method has been leaking from him from the very beginning, so the victory and defeat will be decided early.

But after that...it's hard to say.

Even Zhang Yan was thinking that Young Master Wu was different from him, and there was a big umbrella covering his head.

Taking a last look at the direction Xiao Chongwen and the others left, Zhang Yan also raised his legs and walked in the same direction.It's not that I want to catch up and say something, I have said everything that should be said, and let the other party guess what should not be said. Anyway, at this time, the young master Wu should know that Zhang Yan is not as manipulative as before. .

It took half a stick of incense along the road, and the news of the murder in the restaurant could be heard along the road faster than Zhang Yan's footsteps, and even in a blink of an eye, it seemed that everyone along the road was muttering about it.

Look at the lively enthusiasm, even if the world is changed, it will not change in any way.

"Here we are." Zhang Yan stopped in front of the largest store on the street, and when he looked up, he could see the three characters "Yuan Pharmacy" on the signboard.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy proprietary medicines or medicinal materials? Our Yuan Pharmacy has everything you need, and you will never be disappointed."

"Fake stone roots, fire python skin, triangular flowers, azure grass...everything is loaded with [-] catties."

The smile on the store clerk's face hardly changed, and the names of these herbs reported by Zhang Yan were repeated very quickly and without missing a single one.However, I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart: scumbag business.

Because the dozen or so kinds of medicinal materials that Zhang Yan reported in one go are not enough to go to the Hualou to find a sister to play with, and they are all the cheapest ones.

Soon the medicinal materials were ready, Zhang Yan borrowed a cart from the pharmacy, and pushed it all the way back to his home in Zhuzui Lane.
