Fu Shun was an important border town, so there was a curfew at night.
Xu Bing suggested to catch someone alive for questioning. Zhou Qingfeng immediately thought of Han Gui, the constable of Fu Shun. After dinner, the two of them rode the puppet goat back to Fushun City. When the puppet goat first appeared, Zhou Qingfeng was only eight years old. Now, he was thirteen years old, and his weight had doubled. It was ridiculous for him to ride this thing.
Now, with Xu Bing's help, the two of them squeezed onto the puppet goat. This unlucky goat could no longer turn around and move about. It was as if it was flying and couldn't run fast at all.
"Can't you have another mount?" Xu Bing had to hug Zhou Qingfeng to sit on the goat's butt. It was tiring after a long time.
Zhou Qingfeng was also at his wit's end. He said helplessly, "This goat is actually very useful after I crossed the mountains and escaped from the Jianzhou tribe's territory. But I'm big now, and this goat is still the same. I can't do anything about it. I want to get a motorcycle, but I don't have enough spiritual power. I can only make do with this goat. "
"Don't you have other mounts?"
"I got dozens of horses, but I couldn't take them with me when I escaped. I could only kill them and eat them."
"Dozens of horses? Do you know how valuable a few dozen horses are these days? You actually killed them and ate their meat? "
"What else can I do? I can't take them with me. Do you want to give them to the enemy? Besides, horse meat doesn't taste good. "
"You should change your mount."
"I know. Don't talk nonsense."
The two bickered all the way. They rode the puppet goat for ten miles before they arrived at Fu Shun City. The city gate had been closed for a long time. There were soldiers patrolling the city wall with torches in their hands. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to ask Xu Bing to stay, but she insisted on coming. Although she was a criminal police, she was still a little nervous since it was her first operation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"What are we going to do later? Are we going to kill someone? "Xu Bing asked.
"Have you killed anyone before?" Zhou Qingfeng opened the dimensional rift and sent the goat puppet back to the isolated island. He then turned around and asked Xu Bing.
In the dark of the night, the two of them stood sneakily under a wall overgrown with weeds. Although she was wearing thick clothes, the cold wind still made Xu Bing's hands and feet a little cold. Hearing Zhou Qingfeng's question, she pursed her lips and asked, "Have you killed a lot of people in this world?"
"I told you about my experience last night. You should be able to guess what I did." Zhou Qingfeng summoned the Human-Faced Goblin to stand guard on the city wall. He then took out a rope and threw it over the top of the wall. After hooking it over the top of the wall, he began to quickly climb up. In just a few moments, he had climbed up. He poked his head out from the entrance and waved his hand. "Don't think too much. When it's time to kill, you will naturally kill."
The city wall was about six meters tall and was two stories high.
When Xu Bing climbed up, she found that the defense on the city wall was extremely lax. All the soldiers were hiding in the doorway. There was not even a ghost on top of the cold wall. "If there's a war, how can we defend against it?"
"In fact, it's impossible to defend against it." Zhou Qingfeng ridiculed, "Ancient armies are like this. As long as they are stable for a few years, the strong troops will immediately become weak. The reason why Nurhachi is strong is because he has always been at war. Fu Shun has not been at war for more than twenty years. The military has long been abandoned. "
After crossing the city wall and entering the city, Zhou Qingfeng identified the direction and ran towards the house he used to live in. The big courtyard was originally bought by Gu Yuanwei. After Gu Yuanwei left with Zhou Qingfeng, it was unexpectedly taken over by Han Gui. It was this person who was going around to arrest Wang Kunpeng. Now, it was very easy for Zhou Qingfeng to find him.
The weather was too cold. Snowflakes fell from the sky from time to time. The patrolling soldiers were nowhere to be seen, and the night watchman was too lazy to come out. In the cold weather, the road was slippery and difficult to walk on. Only a few roads were lit with oil torches, making crackling sounds.
On the other hand, Zhou Qingfeng walked smoothly until he arrived at the gate of the courtyard he used to live in. Two lanterns were lit outside the door, illuminating the newly built gate. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground in front of the gate, but the two stone steps had been replaced with new bluestone. Even the tiles on the eaves of the gate were new.
Zhou Qingfeng approached the gate and commanded the human-faced demon to float into the courtyard to investigate. He looked outside the gate and couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like Constable Han is quite ostentatious. He took over the house I used to live in and even renovated it."
Xu Bing looked left and right at the unfamiliar environment. She poked Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and said, "Hurry up, we don't have time to waste."
The human-faced demon floated out of the courtyard again and gestured at Zhou Qingfeng. Xu Li watched for a long time and asked, "What does this demon mean?"
"Actually, I don't know what it's trying to say." Zhou Qingfeng shrugged. "It's probably saying that there's no one inside."
"Let me teach it sign language when I have time," Xu Bing said.
"You know sign language?"
"Of course, I'm a criminal police officer."
As the two spoke, they helped each other climb over the wall and enter. After landing lightly, Zhou Qingfeng took out the Heroic Spirit Statue and summoned the Black Samurai to guard the gate in the dark. He held the wand in his hand and slowly approached the rooms in the courtyard.
The rooms on the left and right were occupied by servants and maids. The human-faced demon entered through the wall and easily knocked them out. However, there was no one in the main room. Zhou Qingfeng casually lit the oil lamp and began a comprehensive search.
The furnishings in the room were quite new. The tables, chairs, and cabinets were all built not long ago. Some of the cabinets were locked, so Zhou Qingfeng knocked on them without hesitation. Most of the cabinets were clothes and cloth, but he did not see any money.
Zhou Qingfeng's previous room was occupied by a maid. The various books that he had collected had been moved to a corner, including his Traction Catalog. He then took out these things and rearranged them. Obviously, he was going to read them again.
After searching for a long time, Xu Bing said, "If Han Gui is really as lawless as you said, then he must have a place to hide his belongings." Zhou Qingfeng nodded. "This is where I used to live. I really don't know where Han Gui used to live."
The two of them searched for Han Gui in the middle of the night and did not know where to find him. Just as they were thinking about whether to leave and come back next time, or wait for their target to come home, they heard the sound of dragging footsteps coming from the street outside the courtyard. Someone was stumbling in the snowy night, followed by an inarticulate shout and knocking on the door.
"Open the door, the master is back. Quick, open the door. Are you lazy guys asleep? "
Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing looked at each other and slowly walked into the courtyard. Zhou Qingfeng approached the door and ordered the Black Warriors to try to catch them alive. He also ordered the Human-Faced Demon to go through the wall to see what was going on. He went to the door and gently pulled the bolt.
As soon as the door was opened, a person fell in. He fell to the ground. The person's head hit the ground and he immediately shouted, "Ouch, that maid opened the door for me. Do you want me to fall to my death? Who is it? Come out! "
There were two servants behind the person who fell. They were the ones who knocked on the door. Seeing their master fall, they hurried to help him up. At the same time, they scolded the person who opened the door for being blind. One of them did not look carefully at who was behind the door and directly kicked at Zhou Qingfeng.
After Zhou Qingfeng dodged the kick, he punched the servant and made him fall to the ground. Before the other follower could react, the 'master' who was lying on the ground suddenly flipped over and did a 'carp flip' before running out of the room with a whoosh.
This' master 'reeked of alcohol when he came in. Zhou Qingfeng didn't expect him to be so vigilant. The Black Warriors who wanted to stop him ran too far away and was half a beat too late. Just as he was about to run out of the courtyard, a black smoke suddenly appeared from the ground and wrapped around his feet. He staggered and fell to the ground again.
The other servant finally reacted and was about to shout. Xu Bing, who was standing at the periphery, quickly stepped forward and threw him to the ground with a chokehold. The Black Warriors also caught up to the 'master' who was running away. The heavy sword in his hand struck the bluestone steps at the door. The sword qi was released and pressed down on the 'master's' neck.
The 'master' felt that his neck was being restrained. He immediately opened his hands and shouted: "Hero, spare me. If you want money, we can negotiate. But if you kill me, you won't get a single cent."
Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and grabbed the 'master's' leg. He dragged him into the courtyard and punched him in the back of the head. Xu Bing ran to the door and looked around. After making sure no one noticed, she closed the door. The lantern outside the door swayed in the night wind. Other than the sword mark on the bluestone steps, there was no other abnormality.
Inside the courtyard, Zhou Qingfeng gagged his two personal attendants, tied them up, and threw them together with the servants. He threw them to the Human-Faced Demon and the Black Warriors. The 'master' was carried to the main hall of the main house and tied up on a wooden armchair. A bucket of cold water was poured on him in the middle of winter. The 'master' immediately shivered.
"Alright, stop pretending to be dead." Zhou Qingfeng lit up two oil lamps and placed them on the table in the main hall. He sat down and said: "Constable Han, long time no see. I've been missing you. I didn't expect you to become a master. "
The oil lamps were dim, but they still illuminated Zhou Qingfeng's handsome face. Han Gui, who was soaking wet, was warming up. When he saw Zhou Qingfeng, he was surprised: "Aren't you Zhou Qingfeng? You're back?" When he looked carefully, he was surprised: "Why do you look like a different person?"
After not seeing him for a few months, he had grown a lot taller. Anyone would be surprised by the change in Zhou Qingfeng's appearance. Zhou Qingfeng laughed and said: "Constable Han, let me introduce a friend to you. His surname is Xu. He's your colleague. For the next few days, you'll have to listen to him. "
After saying that, Zhou Qingfeng stood up and punched Han Gui's lower abdomen, where his Dantian was located. Han Gui screamed and fainted again. When Han Gui was woken up by a bucket of cold water, he saw that the cruel brat was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a beautiful young woman smiling at him.
"From now on, I'll ask and you'll answer. Don't talk nonsense." Xu Bing spread a piece of paper and picked up a pen. She asked with a smile, "Name."
"If you want money and food, I can give you some. But if you want to play tricks on me, you've got the wrong idea. " Han Gui still wanted to be tough. His expression was fierce. "Once the sun rises, my men will come for you. You won't even be able to escape. "
However, Xu Bing shook her head. "This is not the attitude to cooperate with the police. It seems like I'll have to make you give up. Little Zhou, how's your human-faced monster training going? "
"Not good." Zhou Qingfeng walked in from outside the house. Surprisingly, there was another 'Han Gui' beside him.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the real Han Gui widened his eyes, but his heart was cold. He stammered, "Who is this person?"
Zhou Qingfeng sighed at Xu Bing. "This human-faced monster of mine can change into many forms. Its only shortcoming is that it can't speak. It's a mute monster. "
The real Han Gui panicked. Two buckets of cold water did not do anything to him. Now that he saw the other him, he shouted angrily, "You two, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything stupid! Killing an official and rebelling is a capital offense. Your whole family will be executed. "
"Name." Xu Bing waved her hand to dismiss Zhou Qingfeng. She then turned to Han Gui and asked, "Name?" She sighed when she saw Han Gui's angry face. "What's your name?"
"I'm Han Gui. Don't you know me?" Old Master Han was more well-behaved than before, but he refused to admit defeat. He said anxiously, "What's your background, woman? Do you know who I am? How dare you do something like this? "
