The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

"Just rely on the Murong family!"

Nangong Ling stared at Murong Qingcheng who broke into this dense forest hut in the middle of the night, and was almost speechless.

How could the current Patriarch of the Murong Family, a well-recognized figure in the martial arts world, suddenly appear in such a hut hidden away from the outside world?

If this wasn't Chu Liuxiang's arrangement, then whose?

Murong Qingcheng's eyes were also fixed on Nangong Ling, but he spoke as if explaining for Chu Liuxiang and the others: "My sister has lost her voice since she was a child. I searched for famous doctors for this, but the medicine still didn't work. Therefore, I don't want to treat her. It's too strict, let her play in the rivers and lakes, who knows that she will be harmed in the end!"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said: "Even a bird with broken wings will yearn for a free sky. This is not the fault of Patriarch Murong, but your greatest love for Lingmei."

Chu Liuxiang pondered, but suddenly remembered Miss Lin who lived in a room covered with black curtains and was dressed in black.When she talked about Murong Qingqing, there was some envy and jealousy in her tone.Presumably Murong Qingcheng is extremely tolerant and even indulgent towards Qingqing who is born with defects.

Thinking of this, Murong Qingqing's body in the thin Shenshui Palace costume seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.Suddenly his heart moved, and he asked, "Nangong, have you ever entered Shenshui Palace?"

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Nangong Ling's mouth, and then he said, "No."

Chu Liuxiang seemed to have expected this answer, and was not too surprised, but asked, "Then how did you get Tianyi Shenshui?"

Nangong Ling smiled and said: "Who said I stole Tianyi Shenshui? Who dares to mention the word "steal" in front of you, the handsome thief?"

Chu Liuxiang was startled, and said, "Didn't you just say..."

Nangong Ling said: "What did I say?"

Murong Qingcheng said angrily: "Just now you admitted that you stole Tianyi Shenshui, those dead...including Qingqing, you killed them, now you don't admit it!"

Nangong Ling looked at him, and deliberately sighed: "Patriarch Murong is the witness Chu Liuxiang invited?"

Murong Qingcheng said: "That's right. I've heard everything you said in this room, how can you make excuses!"

Nangong Lingdao: "Patriarch Murong's prestige is admired by everyone in the world."

Murong Qingcheng sneered and said: "The three great families in the south of the Yangtze River have been married for generations, one is prosperous and the other is hurt. Even if you have the gang of beggars as your backing, you probably can't fight it head-on?"

Nangong Ling raised her eyebrows suddenly, and said seriously: "Patriarch Murong's pain of losing his sister, I can understand, but you listened to Chu Liuxiang's one-sided words, framed me without any evidence, and pointed out that I was the murderer of this serial murder. There is a suspicion of oppressing others. Our Beggar Clan is never willing to stir up troubles and cause disputes in the Jianghu, but if Patriarch Murong or even the three great families in the south of the Yangtze River join hands to force us, we will naturally not be timid and shrink back to avoid fighting! This is fair , will also be presided over by fellow Jianghu!"

His expression was awe-inspiring, and his words were even more righteous, even Murong Qingcheng, who had always been aloof, couldn't help secretly applauding him.

What's more, his implication is that since Murong Qingcheng is a relative of the deceased, he may inevitably be biased and cannot serve as strong evidence.If we fight with force, then the three great families in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely get into trouble with the Beggars' Gang, the most powerful and numerous gang in the world. If they fight together, it will become an indissoluble situation, so Murong Qingcheng's testimony will naturally be unacceptable .

This person was obviously a trapped beast in the game, but he was able to catch him by surprise and counterattack violently. Everyone was a little stunned for a while.

There was another unbearable silence in the room.

Murong Qingcheng stared at Nangong Ling firmly, the fisted hands and fingers at his side turned white.

He seemed to be about to jump forward immediately and beat the murderer who killed his only sister to death with a single palm.

But he didn't move.

Is it because he also took into account the status of Nangong Ling, the leader of the beggar gang, and the status of the Murong family in the arena?

Status, status, this is what most people care about most in this world.

Nangong Ling laughed easily, and said, "Patriarch Murong is a rational person after all."

Murong Qingcheng's answer was just a sharp look.

But Nangong Ling continued: "If Patriarch Murong is trustworthy, this matter will be handed over to the Beggar Gang for investigation, and the real culprit who killed Lingmei will be found as soon as possible."

His words are very strange.

Everyone present, including Murong Qingcheng, knew that he was the murderer of Murong Qingqing, why would he say such things again?

Who is he talking to?

Outside the door of the hut, there were faint footsteps approaching.

The night is still so dark, although it is close to dawn, it seems to be much darker than midnight.

The candles on the table have turned into dead candles again.

Everyone in the room was silent.

They seem to be waiting, waiting for the person outside the house.

Who is it this time?

At last there was a knock on the door, not too light and not too heavy, and stopped after only three or five knocks.

Murong Qingcheng glared at Nangong Ling, then turned his head away.

Nangong Ling had no choice but to go to open the door.

Before the door opened, Chu Liuxiang suddenly pulled Hua Manlou's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's avoid it for a while."

Although Hua Manlou didn't know why, he followed him without hesitation, and the two jumped out of the window.

The door opened, and there was only an old man standing outside, a short and thin old man.

The old man was wearing a set of gray shorts and pants, with a black belt tied around his waist very firmly, which didn't look out of the ordinary.

Surprisingly, his ears.

In fact, he no longer has ears. On the sides of the ordinary people's head where the ears are, there are a pair of off-white artificial ears made of unknown materials.

The two false ears seemed to be bigger than the real ones, and placed on his thin and withered head, they looked particularly eye-catching.

Both Nangong Ling and Murong Qingcheng showed unexpected expressions of surprise.It was Nangong Ling who said first: "Peking Prefecture's chief arrester, 'Vulture' Ying Wanli?"

The old man chuckled, raised his hands as a salute, walked into the room without seeing anyone else, and said to himself, "I've heard for a long time that the new leader of the Beggars' Clan is knowledgeable, young and promising, seeing him today, he's really extraordinary!"

When Murong Qingcheng saw him raise his hand, he also bowed slightly, and said: "It turns out to be the old master Shen Chuying."

Ying Wanli waved his hands again and again and said: "The old man is just a catcher who eats the public, and Patriarch Murong must not be polite!"

Murong Qingcheng and Ying Wanli were meeting for the first time, seeing him call out his identity in one breath, his eyes moved, and he was about to ask a question, but he saw the old man raised his head and said to the roof beam: "Chu Xiangshuai, what Is it too much trouble to talk?"

Both Murong Qingcheng and Nangong Ling were stunned.Chu Liuxiang's voice came from the roof, although it seemed a bit muffled, but he could still hear the smile in his words: "I'm afraid the case in Beiping has not been closed yet, so it's better not to meet Senior Ying and I now." .”

Nangong Ling suddenly remembered that Chu Liuxiang committed crimes in Beiping City a few months ago, almost in front of Ying Wanli, the god arrester, and stole the white jade beauty treasured by the rich man Jin Gongzi.This incident has been widely spread for a long time, but the stolen property has not been recovered so far, so it is no wonder that he has to hide for Ying Wanli.

On the roof, Hua Manlou also heard Chu Liuxiang briefly talk about the case, and couldn't help laughing: "You're clearly lying, why did you drag me up together?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said: "During this time, half of the people who know me already know that you and I have been together. You are not an accomplice but also a witness if you stay here. It is not to make it difficult for senior Ying, a member of the family." Is it?"

Ying Wanli was listening below, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, so she shook her head and continued to go up to the room, "Xiang Shuai passed on the letter to the old man, I have followed Xiang Shuai's instructions, and I rushed out of this house at Zishi Of course, the old man's lightness kung fu cannot be compared with that of Xiang Shuai and Murong Patriarch, so he has never been close, but thanks to the old man's ears, I heard everything that should be heard clearly, without missing a single word."

Before Chu Liuxiang could answer, Murong Qingcheng suddenly said: "I have heard for a long time that Senior Ying's pair of 'white-clothed god ears' can hear the whispers of people tens of feet away. Since the time has come, Senior Ying, then Even the conversations here cannot escape these divine ears, they are perfect witnesses!"

As he spoke, he stared at Nangong Ling fiercely.Nangong Ling remained expressionless, but her lips moved slightly, as if she was muttering to herself.After a while, everyone heard what he said: "So... so..."

Chu Liuxiang also said loudly from the roof: "Nangong, what else do you have to say?"

Nangong Ling suddenly giggled and said, "What else can I say? What else can I say? I am willing to lose to Brother Chu's careful plan!"

After all, he sat down slumped, as if all his strength had been drained.

Ying Wanli and Murong Qingcheng stepped forward at the same time and were about to set him up when Chu Liuxiang said: "Senior Ying, can I have a word with Nangong?"

Ying Wanli said with a smile: "Xiangshuai has an order, and the old man obeys it. I just hope that Xiangshuai will not cause such troubles to the old man in the future." After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the house.Murong Qingcheng thought about it, and followed him out.

It's because they all know that Ying Wanli, as a member of the public family, although his status is low and has never been valued by the people in the Jianghu, but after all, he represents the court's law.And with Ying Wanli as a person, he will not do anything that insults justice and morality, so he is trusted by the court and both sides of the world.

That's why the appearance of Ying Wanli made Nangong Ling willingly admit defeat.And with the martial arts of Chu Liuxiang and Murong Qingcheng, there will be no more chances for him to escape.

Chu Liuxiang jumped into the room again through the window, silently watching Nangong Ling who was still in high spirits just now, but now fell down in the dust like a real beggar.

Then he said slowly, "You didn't do it."

Nangong Ling raised his head dumbly and looked at him, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and continued: "You didn't steal Tianyi Shenshui, you can't enter Shenshui Palace. Murong Qingqing..."

Nangong Ling was the first to say: "I killed Murong Qingqing, and I killed those people! I have already admitted it, why do you want to pester me! Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, squatted down and sat down opposite Nangong Ling, looked at him and said, "Nangong, we are friends."

Nangong Ling chuckled twice, and said, "You pushed me to a corner step by step, you are really a good friend!"

Chu Liuxiang said in a deep voice, "You were the one who made the mistake first."

Nangong Ling said: "I was wrong? Am I wrong?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Human life is at stake!"

Nangong Ling smiled and said: "People in the Jianghu, who is not licking blood on the edge of the knife, maybe one day there will be an inexplicable fire, and someone will kill him with a knife and a sword!"

Chu Liuxiang sighed again, and said slowly: "They kill people, so you kill people too, if you don't kill people, you will be killed. If things go on like this, what law is there in the world?"

Nangong Ling's eyes flickered, and he said, "Am I not mistaken? The number one bandit commander in the world, Chu Liuxiang, who dared not even meet the arrester, what law are you talking about here? You go to the rivers and lakes and ask, Chu Liuxiang never Isn’t killing people a joke in their eyes?”

Chu Liuxiang shook her head and said, "I have my own principles, why bother what others say."

Nangong Ling said: "What principle?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "No one has the right to dispose of other people's lives at will."

Nangong Lingdao: "No one? Not even the emperor?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "The emperor shouldn't have either."

Nangong Ling laughed again, pointed at the door and said, "Ying Wanli is still outside, you dare to say that."

Chu Liuxiang said: "I dare to say it in front of anyone. It is not a certain person who can punish criminals and deprive others of their lives, but the rules."

Nangong Ling said: "Rules?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "The way of heaven, and the law."

Nangong Ling said: "So you handed me over to the police?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "It's up to the law. The mistakes you made will be judged by the law." He suddenly paused before continuing, "You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

Nangong Ling squinted at him and said, "Who said that?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Who are you taking the blame for? Tianfeng Shishilang? What is the relationship between you and him?"

Nangong Ling looked at his face intently, gradually revealed a sarcastic smile, and said word by word: "You will never know about this matter."

◇ ◆ ◇

Ying Wanli and Murong Qingcheng finally took Nangong Ling away.Contrary to everyone's expectations, Nangong Ling didn't resist at all, and didn't say another word.

When they came in, Chu Liuxiang naturally jumped out of the window and returned to the roof.

Hua Manlou was still sitting there.

He also heard the conversation between Chu Liuxiang and Nangong Ling just now.

Chu Liuxiang watched him hesitate to speak, and couldn't help laughing, "What do you want to ask?"

Hua Manlou seemed to sigh lightly, but said: "Senior Ying is the head arrester of the Beiping Mansion, thousands of miles away from here, what kind of magic did you use to summon him?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, Ying Wanli is not in Beiping."

Hua Manlou said: "Oh?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Ever since I did that case in Beiping, this senior Ying has followed me all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. I heard Patriarch Murong talk about it, so I sent him a letter."

Hua Manlou nodded, and said with a smile, "Xiang Shuai is really strategizing and winning a thousand miles."

Chu Liuxiang coughed dryly: "You've said a few words, but you're mocking me again!"

Hua Manlou paused, then whispered, "I think you're in a bad mood?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, but turned her eyes to the end of the woods.

Then he said quietly: "It's dawn."
