The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

At the end of February in Hongwu 18, Cui Miao and Xue Lu found the secret door that Xu Wen mentioned, and walked to the cave alone. They happened to meet Zhao Quande, the procurator of the criminal punishment department, and Cao Congmi, the county magistrate of Wanping County.Seeing that the two were about to leave, Cui Miao was quick to use his wits and resorted to a divorce plan to provoke the relationship between the two groups of people, causing chaos in the cave for a while.

Zhao Quande's arm was scratched by Cao Cong, and his sleeves were instantly stained red with blood. His expression turned cold and he said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel! Kill him and send him to find relatives on the way to Huangquan."

Zhao Quande's subordinates were ordered not to back down, and began to fight back, and their moves were fatal.Two of Cao Cong's men were killed quickly, but before they died, they counterattacked and stabbed one of Zhao Quande's men to death, while the other was also slightly injured.

With the knife resting on his neck, Cao Cong didn't show any fear. He stared at Zhao Quande with blood-red eyes, and said with a ferocious face, "Zhao Quande, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go. I curse your family to be ruined, and you will die!"

Zhao Quande's face became even more ugly, and he said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze? Kill!"

Seeing the knife being raised high, Cao Cong stared at Zhao Quande fiercely. At this moment, Cui Miao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and pierced the subordinate's chest with a knife, and blood spattered. The smell of blood is stronger.

Zhao Quande and Cao Cong were stunned by the shock before them, and the dead bodies fell to the ground. Zhao Quande suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Cui Miao, and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Cui Miao came to Cao Cong, helped him up, and said respectfully: "My lord, just now my subordinate passed out due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, I woke up in time to save my lord."

Although Cao Cong also had doubts, he didn't care to think about it at this time. He looked at Zhao Quande with a smirk and said, "Zhao Quande, you didn't expect that the high-ranking criminal inspector actually fell into my hands. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I want to let you know what life is like to die! Tie him up and take him away!"

Cui Miao bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, my lord, and my little one obeys!"

Cui Miao untied the rope around his waist, as if Zhao Quande was slipping it, but Zhao Quande dodged it neatly, Cui Miao couldn't help being surprised, seeing his actions just now, this Zhao Quande was actually a hidden practitioner.He picked up the steel knife on the ground and said with a sneer, "Cao Cong, do you think you can keep me?"

Cui Miao quickly stopped in front of Cao Cong, looked at Zhao Quande vigilantly, and said, "My lord, be careful, he has kung fu."

Cao Cong picked up a knife from the ground, pushed Cui Miao away, stared at Zhao Quande and said, "What are you afraid of, the two of us can't beat him? As long as you help me catch him today, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold." !"

When Cui Miao heard the words, her eyes lit up, showing a greedy look, and said: "It is a small blessing to be able to serve the adults, today the small ones will go all out, and the adults will surely get their wishes!

Cui Miao thought to himself: Fortunately, his identity has not been revealed yet, and Zhao Quande's details are unknown, so two fight one, a proper show of weakness, it's not bad to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Zhao Quande looked at the two with disdain, and rushed over with a knife in his hand. Cui Miao rushed to meet Zhao Quande and fought with Zhao Quande. Cui Miao couldn't help being surprised by this fight. He didn't expect that Zhao Quande's force value was no less than that. to myself.Cao Cong was watching the battle with a knife in his hand, slashing from time to time, which made Zhao Quande have to spare some energy to deal with it, which made Cui Miao a lot easier.Cui Miao pretended to be hit by Zhao Quande and rushed to the side. Seeing this, Cao Cong stepped forward to parry to prevent Cui Miao from being killed.He deeply realized that if Cui Miao died, then he would be finished, let alone revenge.Although Cao Cong was backed by hatred, he was a civil servant. He was kicked in the chest by Zhao Quande within two moves.

Cui Miao struggled to get up, raised the knife, rushed towards Zhao Quande, and said loudly: "Master, I will stop him, you run!"

Cao Cong wanted to run, but he was short of breath and couldn't get up.Zhao Quande looked at Cui Miao contemptuously, swung the knife casually, swung away Cui Miao's weapon, and kicked Cui Miao with his foot. He thought that Cui Miao would be kicked out like Cao Cong, but who knew He grabbed his ankle, then raised his foot and kicked his leg. A burst of severe pain came, which blinded Zhao Quande's eyes and curled up on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

Cui Miao's knife rested on Zhao Quande's neck, and she couldn't help smiling maliciously. She looked back at Cao Cong and said, "My lord, there may be another accident, and I need to trouble you to tie him up."

After buffering for a while, Cao Cong felt much better. He climbed up, picked up the rope that fell from the ground, walked to Zhao Quande, and put it on Zhao Quande without saying a word, but Zhao Quande suddenly jumped up, a dagger Inserted into Cao Cong's chest.Seeing that the situation was wrong, Cui Miao kicked Zhao Quande on the head. Zhao Quande passed out without saying a word.

Cui Miao hurriedly squatted down to check Cao Cong's injuries, and said anxiously, "My lord, hold on, I'll take you to see a doctor right away!"

Cui Miao wasn't pretending to be anxious at this time, he really didn't expect Zhao Quande to have another trick, Cao Cong hadn't got the account book in his hand, and he couldn't die now.

Cao Cong grabbed Cui Miao's sleeves tightly, and said weakly: "No, it's useless. I will give you all the money and wealth of the family. You help me, help me to bury him and them properly. Also, and , There are, there are, under the dark compartment of the Buddha statue in the study room, there are,,,,,,, "

Cao Cong's eyes suddenly widened, and his body stiffened for a moment, then softened again.Cui Miao probed his breath, sighed a long time, and said, "Be a good person in your next life."

Cui Miao ignored Cao Cong, picked up the rope and tied Zhao Quande tightly. Only now did he heave a sigh of relief, followed by bursts of unbearable pain. He couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "This time But it's okay, the injury is getting worse, and I have to drink medicine again."

Cui Miao touched the switch, the cave door opened slowly, dragged Zhao Quande out again, sat panting outside the cave and waited, about half an hour later, I saw Xue Lu rushing over, and saw Cui Miao in a mess covered in blood. He looked very frightened, and he didn't feel relieved until he repeatedly confirmed that he only injured his arm.Xue Lu carried Zhao Quande and Cui Miao down the mountain while talking about the situation he encountered in the cave.

Xue Lu notified Shen Qing in time. Although Shen Qing was worried, he had no choice but to call up people secretly, while Xue Lu dared to go to the back mountain to meet Cui Miao non-stop.

After Shen Qing assembled the manpower, before dawn, he took the token of King Yan and directly broke into the county government office.Without Cao Cong in charge, these people would be a mob, and they would not dare to act rashly. In addition, Shen Qing's noble status made them a little more afraid. Even some of Cao Cong's diehard loyalists were quickly taken down.

Shen Qing came to the room with the hidden door almost every time with great effort, and led the people hurriedly towards the cave.When he arrived at the cave and saw the dead body on the ground, he became even more worried. He ordered people to stay here, and then hurriedly sent people to the guard post to dispatch troops, while he hurried down the mountain and rushed to the place where Cui Miao and the other two stayed before. Inn.

Cui Miao and Shen Qing walked out of the cave one after another, and it was only half an hour later. They went down the mountain and did not go back to the inn directly. Instead, under Cui Miao's strong request, they went to the tailor shop and bought clean clothes to change into. Afterwards, they went slowly to the medical hall. The inn they were originally staying in was in the east of the city, and the nearest medical hall to the city gate was in the west of the city, so the two of them just missed it dramatically.

Shen Qing went to the inn but couldn't find anyone, and went back to the small courtyard he rented, but still couldn't find Cui Miao. In desperation, he had to go back to the county government office again. After all this trouble, the sky was already bright, and the quiet market was also bustling stand up.

As Cao Cong's body was carried out of the tunnel, the county government also became noisy, with women crying and children making noise, which made Qing Ninghou, who was already in a bad mood, even more impatient, and the evil spirit all over his body almost turned into substance , Wherever he went, everyone was silent.

When Cao Cong's subordinates saw that their master was already dead, they immediately lost their backbone and fighting spirit, and were all sent to prison by Shen Qing's people to wait for the subsequent trial.

When King Yan received Shen Qing's letter, his irritable mood finally calmed down. None of the guards he personally sent to escort the food team was damaged, but none of the magistrate's family of Daxing County was left behind. This not only severely beat him He also took advantage of the opportunity to plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Hongwu's heart. Maybe he can't see anything now, but once it takes root and sprouts, it will be out of control.The King of Yan did not delay, and immediately sent a thousand soldiers to Wanping. It was inevitable that there would be another example in Daxing County, and the King of Yan also specially sent Daoyan to support.

After Cui Miao took care of the wound, she went back to the county government office with Xue Lu, and only then did she see Shen Qing who was full of evil spirits.

Cui Miao looked at Shen Qing strangely, and asked, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you? Has something happened?"

Shen Qing stared at Cui Miao, and asked indifferently: "Is Da Lang injured again?"

Cui Miao said indifferently: "Just to win the trust of Cao Cong, I cut myself a knife. I have a sense of proportion, and the wound is not deep. It will heal in a few days."

"Can old injuries be repeated?"

Cui Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a haha, "The old wound has scabbed over a long time ago, so don't worry about it happening again. Oh, by the way, Cao Cong is dying..."

Before Cui Miao could finish speaking, Shen Qing tightly grasped his wrist, striding him to the nearest room.

Cui Miao was caught off guard and was almost pulled over. She said inexplicably, "Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

Kicking the door open, Shen Qing dragged Cui Miao in, then closed the door, turned to look at Cui Miao, and said, "Take off your clothes."

"What?" Cui Miao was dumbfounded, thinking she was hallucinating.

"You want me to do it?" Shen Qing's expression was serious, with some indisputable meaning.

Cui Miao came back to her senses and said helplessly: "Brother Shen, my injury is really not a problem. I just came here from the doctor. It will be fine after two days of treatment."

"Take off!"

Cui Miao had no choice but to take off her shirt...
