Chapter 213: Lure the snake out of its hole

The phantom showed disdain and said calmly: "Those guards who came from your capital city are just a bunch of drunkards. At this time, they are all drowsy. They are afraid that if I walk up to them in a big way, they There won’t be any notice.”

As soon as these words came out.

Chanzhou Tongzhi's heart suddenly became cold, and he frowned and said: "The imperial envoy is so thoughtful, how could he send a group of wine bags and rice bags to guard the Yamen? They just did this on purpose to make you relax your vigilance!

Go back quickly and leave this place to avoid being discovered..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged Hu man: "You Zhou people are too courageous. A group of trash can make you so afraid..."

At this point, the voice stopped suddenly.

"?"

Chanzhou Tongzhi looked at the phantom in front of him with a look of confusion in his eyes, not knowing what he was doing.

Right now.

The phantom suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and retreated along the gap in the door and window at an extremely fast speed.

"This...could it be that someone discovered it?"

Chanzhou Tongzhi looked at all this in a daze, his heart completely sinking to the bottom, and there was only one thought left in his mind: It's over!

at the same time.

In the alley outside the Yamen.

Both sides were guarded by guards brought by Ren Pingsheng from the north.

Bai Ping and Murong were sitting in front and behind the alley.

Ren Pingsheng, on the other hand, stepped on the Hong Ming Dao and stood in mid-air, looking down at the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes who was wearing fur, and said coldly: "I advise you to capture him without any effort, and you can still save a small life. "

The green smoke returns to the middle-aged Hu man's body.

His consciousness gradually became clearer, and when he saw the battle in front of him, he frowned and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. He waved his hand and issued an order: "Catch him!"

"yes!"

A uniform voice sounded.

Almost at the same moment.

Bai Ping and Murong rushed towards the middle-aged Hu man together.

Precisely.

A white screen should be considered a step backwards.

After the competition at Yuanwu Lake.

Both of them had a new understanding of martial arts.

Today, their strength is infinitely close to the fourth level.

There is only one opportunity left to complete the breakthrough.

now.

Faced with the siege of two fifth-grade perfect warriors.

The middle-aged Hu man finally showed an uneasy look.

His eyes narrowed, he took something out of his arms and threw it into the air.

moment.

Smoke and dust enveloped the space.

Even the eyesight of a fifth-grade martial artist cannot see clearly what is within one step in front of him.

Everyone, including Bai Ping and Murong, stopped.

Right now.

The middle-aged Hu man took something out of his arms and threw it forward.

The strong smell filled the air in the blink of an eye, giving people the urge to vomit.

Caught off guard.

Even Li Yong couldn't move forward, so he stopped and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

It's just such a moment of effort.

The middle-aged Hu man mobilized the power of qi and blood in his body, tightened the muscles in his legs, and jumped up.

With just such a leap, he actually surpassed the walls on both sides of the alley.

"Want to run?"

mid-air.

Ren Pingsheng sneered and clapped his hands.

The majestic spiritual energy surged towards the middle-aged Hu man like a tide.

"What a powerful force!"

The middle-aged Hu man obviously didn't expect to meet a martial artist of Ren Pingsheng's level in this small town.

His pupils shrank slightly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he relied on instinct to turn sideways, trying to avoid the blow.

The wind of the fist passed by.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he escaped.

However……

He was not happy for a while.

Ren Pingsheng took dozens more palms.

Each palm carried extremely strong force, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

Just for a moment.

He was unable to parry and was hit by Ren Pingsheng, hitting the ground heavily.

Ren Pingsheng controlled the Hong Ming Dao, slowly lowered it, walked to him, looked down at him condescendingly, and said in a disdainful tone: "I thought I caught some big fish, but it turned out that I was only a fifth-level cultivation..."

This is not a mockery, but a sincere statement.

For this action.

He mobilized a lot of force to eliminate every barbarian and suspicious person who entered the city, and finally locked in a group of people who might be related to the Yamen case.

He also ordered the guards to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and then led the man out.

I thought it was most likely the mastermind behind it, but I didn't expect that it didn't look like that.

"No matter what his identity is, he is still a barbarian. Take him back and interrogate him carefully to see if he can find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Ren Pingsheng thought this, looked at Li Yong, and ordered: "The next step will be left to you."

Li Yong responded: "Yes, Crown Prince!"

Half an hour later.

In the lobby of the Yamen.

Ren Pingsheng sat on the Grand Master's chair, holding a teacup and taking a sip.

not far away.

Li Yong stood there and reported with a serious face: "Your Majesty, he has done it."

Ren Pingsheng said casually: "Tell me about it."

"yes!"

Li Yong cupped his hands and continued: "He said that he was from the Beiye Kingdom, and came to Chanzhou to buy armor and weapons on the order of the country's leader. After spending a lot of money, he bought it from a Tongzhi in Chanzhou. Ten thousand weapons and three thousand pieces of armor, but I haven’t received the goods yet, so I came to see Chanzhou colleagues to ask for details..."

Beiye is a small country built on many islands overseas, with a population of about hundreds of thousands.

Ren Pingsheng looked up at Li Yong and asked, "Can he tell me who is behind him?"

Li Yong said, "He said he is."

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and said, "It's not impossible."

For an island with only hundreds of thousands of people, a fourth-grade cultivator is already the top combat force.

It's not impossible to send a fifth-grade cultivator to purchase weapons and armor.

But.

In just a moment.

Ren Pingsheng thought of another very critical question: "How can a fifth-grade cultivator kill three prefects of Chanzhou quietly?"

You know.

The prefect of Chanzhou is a fifth-grade Confucian scholar, and in terms of actual combat ability, he is only slightly weaker than a fifth-grade warrior.

He has seen the strength of that Hu man.

It's not easy for him to defeat the prefect of Chanzhou alone, and it's simply a fantasy to kill them quietly.

That's all.

A hint of coldness flashed in Ren Pingsheng's eyes, and he said, "He didn't tell the truth, keep asking."

Li Yong responded without hesitation: "Yes!"

After saluting, he turned and left.

Ren Pingsheng looked at his back, thought for a few seconds, and came to the residence of the Tongzhi of Chanzhou.

When he opened the door, he saw the Tongzhi of Chanzhou pacing anxiously, with panic on his face.

"As an official appointed by the court, you dare to collude with foreign tribes and do such an unforgivable thing, Tongzhi, you are so brave!"

Ren Pingsheng stood at the door, looking at the Tongzhi of Chanzhou with cold eyes, and scolded him in a sonorous voice.

The Tongzhi of Chanzhou was slightly startled, and then his expression became more flustered.

"I...I..."

He hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "I have never colluded with foreign tribes, let alone betrayed the court. You must not believe the one-sided words of the barbarian and convict me."

Barbarian?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly stunned, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he still looked as steady as a mountain.

I thought that the middle-aged Hu man was from Beiye, but now it seems that he is a barbarian from the north.

If this is true, the nature of this case will be even worse.

After all.

A small country like Beiye overseas does not pose any substantial threat to the court.

But the barbarians are the real enemies of the court.

Selling weapons and armor to the barbarians is a real betrayal of the court and the people.

After a brief silence.

Ren Pingsheng spoke again in a low voice: "I still say the same thing. It is meaningless to resist stubbornly and deny until death. Tell the truth about where the weapons and armor are hidden, why you colluded with foreigners, and how the previous governors of Chanzhou died. I can spare your life."

When Chanzhou Tongzhi heard this, he immediately realized that Ren Pingsheng had not yet mastered this information. His heart was instantly much more stable, and he said seriously: "I have never colluded with foreigners."

As soon as the voice fell.

A sharp knife light suddenly flashed in the room.

Under the sharp edge.

Before Chanzhou Tongzhi could react to what happened, an arm fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out, and in just a moment it dyed his official robe red.

Severe pain swept over.

He instinctively stretched out his other hand, wanting to cover his arm, but he didn't know where to start, so he just hung in the air.

"You, how dare you attack me!"

The pupils of the Chanzhou Tongzhi shrank slightly, and he looked at Ren Pingsheng in disbelief.

In his opinion.

He was a Tongzhi of a prefecture, ranked fifth.

Even if Ren Pingsheng was an imperial envoy, he would not rashly attack him without evidence.

Who would have thought that he would cut off one of his arms with one move.

On the other side.

Ren Pingsheng still had no expression on his face. Even if he cut off the other's arm, he was indifferent as if he had crushed an ant to death: "I have caught your accomplice. I can get the information from you from him. I didn't kill you just because we are officials in the same court, and I want to give you some dignity.

Since you don't want this dignity, I naturally don't need to show mercy."

As soon as the voice fell.

He attacked again.

The knife light in the sky instantly enveloped the whole room.

The candlelight swayed wildly, adding a sense of tension and excitement to the atmosphere.

The Tongzhi of Chanzhou had never faced such a scene.

At this moment, he was confused and at a loss.

After a few breaths, he reacted and wanted to resist.

"The forest is dark and the grass is startled by the wind, the general draws his bow at night."

As the Tongzhi of Chanzhou chanted in a low voice.

A longbow shadow appeared above his head out of thin air.

"Looking for the white feather in the morning, it is buried in the stone edge."

The second line of the poem was read out.

An arrow suddenly appeared and shot at Ren Pingsheng at a very fast speed, with great force and heavy power.

Even a warrior with the same cultivation level may not be able to resist.

"Is this the fighting method of low-level Confucian scholars?"

Ren Pingsheng rarely saw Confucian scholars participating in the battle. His eyes lit up slightly, and he swung a knife casually, chopping off the shadow of the arrow.

Standing in place, staring at the Chanzhou Tongzhi opposite him, a smile flashed between his eyebrows, and he beckoned, "What other tricks do you have? Feel free to use them, and let me see how a sixth-rank scholar fights."

Before this.

He had only seen those two third-grade scholars competing. Just a casual word could change the rules of a small world, and their actual combat ability was not weaker than other cultivation systems.

But he really doesn't know how Confucian scholars below the fourth rank fight.

the other side.

Chanzhou Tongzhi saw that his strongest blow was blocked so lightly, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

At this moment, he looked at Ren Pingsheng opposite with great interest.

He finally accepted the reality.

There is absolutely no way he can escape from the opponent's hands.

then.

He no longer wanted to fight back, he just stood there and gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I really made a mistake, I still have to be escorted to the capital and convicted by the Holy Lord and Yousi. If you abuse lynching, I will have to report to the Holy Lord even if I die." Impeach you!"

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, and then asked a question: "If you are already dead, how can you impeach me to His Majesty?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Chanzhou Tongzhi was slightly startled, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Right now.

The sword lights all over the room suddenly condensed together and turned into a bright light, slashing down at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

In an instant.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Chanzhou Tongzhi's other arm was also cut off.

"ah--"

This time, he couldn't bear the severe pain anymore and cried loudly.

Ren Pingsheng ignored his wails, walked up to him, stepped on his arm, and said coldly: "I will give you one last chance to tell you what I want to know truthfully. Tell me, otherwise you will have to impeach me in your next life!”

The killing intent was so strong that it almost solidified into substance.

Chanzhou Tongzhi's pupils shrank violently, and for the first time in his life, he felt the fear of death.

The strong pressure made his mind go blank and he fell into silence.

Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng sighed leisurely.

With a casual move, Hong Ming Dao seemed to have eyes and landed directly in the palm of his hand.

"In this case, I can only send you on your way."

Ren Pingsheng's tone was cold and he raised the Hong Ming Dao in his hand.

Last minute.

Chanzhou Tongzhi finally believed that the imperial envoy in front of him was not threatening him, but really wanted to kill him.

Fear came over him like a tide, overwhelming him and almost suffocating him.

He finally couldn't hold on anymore and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice: "Don't, don't kill me!"

Between the lightning and flint.

Hong Ming Dao stopped in place, only a thin hair away from his neck.

Chanzhou Tongzhi was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and his voice was trembling: "Those weapons and armor are hidden in the Li Xiangxian Mansion in Li Village outside the city. The three previous magistrates, except the first It was a sudden death. The other two were killed by barbarian priests. The lower officials did not know what method they used.

As for why they colluded with the barbarians, those barbarians captured Xiaguan's wife and children and used them to threaten Xiaguan. If Xiaguan did not listen to them and do things for them, Xiaguan's wife and children would die.

I have no choice but to go astray, please ask the Imperial Envoy for a clear warning..."
