An Zheng walked in front of Xu Zhengsheng and squatted, then looked into his eyes and said: "The reason I'm giving you face is because you are an official. You and I will not provoke anyone. I will step into my path and you will reap your wealth. But now that my people are dead and the people who killed them are with you, I'd like to hear what you have to say. "
This was the first time Xu Zhengsheng had encountered something like this. He was obviously scared to death, but he held on: "An Zheng, as a fifth rank official of the imperial court, how could I be threatened by you? This Official is investigating a murder case, but you barged in and killed someone in front of me. Now you actually want an explanation from me, I'm afraid you have to give me one later in the court. Even if you gave an explanation, the laws of Great Yan's imperial court would not allow you to act presumptuously. Although you have the Ministry of War supporting you, I have the laws of the imperial court supporting me! "
An Zheng sneered: "Don't say it so openly, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. "I only ask you one thing. Do you know in advance that those people bought my men and killed them?"
Xu Zhengsheng's face paled, and subconsciously, he crawled backwards. "I ? Are you threatening This Official?! "
An Zheng stood up, his hand holding onto the hilt of the steel blade that had countless holes on it. "Lord Xu, let me say it again, don't speak such official words in front of me. I'll tell you in earnest, I'll definitely kill you before your royal family can rule over me. My family was the one who died, and this is not over. I'll kill whoever stops me. If you don't want to die, tell me the truth. I've already killed dozens of people, so I don't mind having one more. "
Xu Zhengsheng's mouth trembled as he replied: "An... Lord An, I really do not know. I know your family is sad that they were killed, but you can't just ignore all the laws, right? "
An Zheng turned around: "Then I'll wait for Lord Xu's royal law. It's still the same phrase, you can try it."
He walked out of the Fang Gongfu Yamen with big strides, scaring all the policemen who came to retreat one by one. They held the hilt of their knives in their hands, but none of them dared to draw them out. Liu Sui had long lost his courage, and now he knew what a desperate person was. Ever since the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, most likely no one dared to kill a head in front of the Prefect.
An Zheng walked out and took a look at Liu Sui, causing him to retreat in fright.
An Zheng said coldly: "When you turn around, persuade that Lord Xu of yours, how should you handle this matter? Although my Heavenly Awakening Sect can't be considered to be a big sect, as long as there's one person left alive, our enemies can forget about living a good life. "
Of course, Liu Sui understood what he meant, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry Lord An, I know what to do."
An Zheng took out his blade from a constable's waist: "Let me borrow your blade."
The constable wanted to refuse, but there was no time to dodge. He watched as An Zheng walked out of the yamen with his blade in hand. He wanted to ask for his comrades for help, but no one dared to go near.
An Zheng left the Fang Gongfu Yamen and said to Gu Qianye who was standing outside the door: "Go back first. If anything happens to the sect, bring them away and find a place to hide. "
Gu Qianye shook his head: "I'll follow you."
An Zheng wanted to advise her against it, but he could see determination in her eyes.
He thought for a moment and said, "If I die, those scales should be able to fly out by themselves. You take them."
Gu Qianye suddenly shouted angrily: "You are a f * cking bastard!"
An Zheng did not understand why Gu Qianye was cursing him, nor did he think much into it. Gu Qianye was so angry that his face turned white, he watched as An Zheng left and he stomped his feet again to follow. Just as she chased after him, Qu Liuxi caught up to her from behind.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Qianye asked.
Qu Liuxi looked at An Zheng in front of him, and replied in an extremely dull tone: "I have already treated the injuries of my master, and I have also treated the injuries of Pang Si. All I have to do now is follow him. If he dies, then I won't live either. "
Gu Qianye was silent for a moment: Then follow behind me.
The three of them passed through several streets, and by the time they reached the fourth street, it was already the latter half of the night. The moon was bright and the sky wasn't too dark.
The Quad Hall was located in the middle of the four main streets in the east, and its facade was very big. There were many halls in the Fanggu City, all built by merchants from various places. Each of the slightly larger prefectures would have an assembly hall in the Fanggu. The purpose of these merchants from the same place was to unite the people of their hometown to do business together and face some difficult problems together.
Although most of the time these merchants were also scheming against each other, when facing outsiders, they were usually especially united.
It was precisely because of this that the big halls had such an astonishing influence in the Fanggu City.
If a merchant from outside the city wanted to develop in Fanggu City, they would have to contact the officials of the capital. Officials need to get their money from them, they need to get their privileges from them, so they get along most of the time. However, there were endless conflicts between the different palaces. After all, no matter how big the Fanggu City was, its business market was only that big, so the competition was especially fierce.
The main door of the Quad Hall was closed, and the two lights at the entrance emitted a pale light. The gate was closed, and the yard seemed quiet.
Generally speaking, the name of a hall was given to the Prefecture Region. For example, the Yan Kingdom's Dong Yang Prefecture's merchants had set up a meeting hall, which was called the Dong Yang Association. But this place was called Quad Hall, so from the name, it was impossible to determine where it was created by merchants.
However, An Zheng did not think about all these, he could only think of four words ? The murderer dies.
He walked to the front door of Quad Hall and slashed down at it with the long knife in his hand in a straight line. The long knife precisely cut into the gap between the doors and cut off the door guard. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Quad Hall looked very big. Upon entering, they found a very long path, with many bamboo plants growing on both sides of the path. The green bamboo of the south was not easy to survive in in the north. However, it seemed that the bamboo here was growing well. It seemed to be lush and verdant for at least ten years. The passageway was in the bamboo forest. Although the bamboo forest was small, its aura was not diminished.
The instant An Zheng entered, two black figures at both sides of the door pounced over, "Who dares to barge into Quad Hall at night!?"
One of them reached out his hand to's throat while the other swept his leg across An Zheng's ankle. The two of them attacked at the same time, it was clear that they were well-coordinated and well-trained.
An Zheng frowned slightly, anger rising from his heart.
His left hand reached out and grabbed the hand that was turning towards his throat, and with a twist of his wrist, he snapped that man's os brachii into countless pieces. The long knife in An Zheng's right hand raised it up, and the blade light scattered a silver light, slashing into the man's lower jaw and splitting his skull open.
An Zheng pulled the man with the broken arm closer into his embrace, his knees pressing on the man's lower abdomen, causing the man to groan out loud and then fall down.
An Zheng placed the long knife beside the man's neck and asked coldly: "Did you guys go out to kill someone tonight?"
That man's face twisted in pain, "You are really seeking death, to actually dare to barge into the Quad Hall, do you know what kind of place the Quad Hall is? Do you know if you can afford to offend the people here? "
An Zheng said: "I don't want to hear any more nonsense."
Lifting his hand, the blade fell and he died.
An Zheng kicked the corpse away and took large steps forward.
He had just taken two steps forward when a spear thrust out like a viper from the bamboo forest. The spear used the shadow of the bamboo forest as cover and came out at the right time. The tip of the spear was suffused with a chilling moonlight and a murderous aura even colder than the moonlight.
An Zheng took out his blade, clenching and raising it, he removed the spear tip from the spear shaft. The blade then hacked forward straight through the middle of the spear shaft, perfectly splitting the spear shaft in two.
The long knife sliced its way into the bamboo forest, and then spilled blood. A man in black fell to the ground, a red line running down his forehead. Moments later, the red thread exploded with a "pa" sound. Red blood and white brain matter gushed out from within.
An Zheng moved forward once again, and a curved hook appeared from behind him from the bamboo forest, locking onto his neck. Curling hooks were not easy to train with, but once mastered, it was incredibly strange. The speed of the hook was very fast, but because it was too smooth and the person attacking had a good sense of the wind direction and wind direction, it did not make a sound.
An Zheng placed the long knife right in front of his neck, and the hook hooked onto the long knife with a "dang" sound. The muscles on An Zheng's right arm tensed up, he threw the blade forward, and the person from the bamboo forest was brought out. The person was pulled out from An Zheng's back. An Zheng did not even look back, and directly kicked his lower abdomen, causing his body to fly backwards.
An Zheng shook his hand, and the hook hanging on his long knife turned in a circle. The hook drew out a stream of light before stabbing into the chest of the person behind it. From start to finish, An Zheng didn't even turn his head to look back.
"What an arrogant person!"
Someone in the bamboo forest shouted, followed by the sound of a bowstring. Three feather arrow s shot out from the bamboo forest, taking An Zheng's throat, chest, and lower abdomen.
The bamboo forest was very dense, and the feather arrow shot out by this person could actually avoid the bamboo. The feather arrow arrived in front of An Zheng in the blink of an eye.
An Zheng consecutively slashed out three times, and as fast as lightning, he chopped down the three feather arrow s that came at almost the same time. feather arrow s had a history, and when they attacked, they did so in a blink of an eye.
An Zheng swept his long knife s and neatly cut off a piece of bamboo beside him. Before he managed to completely fall, An Zheng's second slash came slashing down. At least dozens of bamboo sticks were cut apart to form a length of one meter. The tip of each bamboo was split diagonally, so it was especially sharp.
With a side kick, An Zheng's leg swept across and kicked all the bamboos flying. A one-meter-long pillar flew into the depths of the bamboo forest. Wherever it went, the pillars blocking its way would be cut off.
A moment later, a groan came from the bamboo forest. A man in black clothes was stabbed by four to five bamboo sticks that were as thick as arms. The huge inertia carried him away from the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was dozens of meters wide. That person's body broke two of the emeralds and flew out of the bamboo forest. His body slammed heavily into the wall, and those who had stabbed into him stabbed into the wall, hanging his body on the wall.
"Stop!"
Someone ran quickly from the courtyard, shouting as they ran.
Behind this man, at least a dozen men with weapons were running towards him.
At the same time, at least six or seven strong men rushed out from the bamboo forest, with crossbow in their hands, they surrounded An Zheng.
The footsteps of the person who ran out first were a bit unstable. It was obvious that he didn't know martial arts nor knew how to cultivate. This person was wearing a grey robe, and his steps were hurried, causing him to stagger a little. The moment he ran out, he saw the blood dripping knife in An Zheng's hand and the corpse on the ground, his expression immediately changed.
"Why did you barge in here!"
He shouted, and his voice was filled with anger.
An Zheng used the long knife to point at that person: "So it's you, so you know about it."
That person was stunned. "I know about it? What do I know? I only saw you carrying a blade and charging into the Quad Hall, you have already killed quite a few people! "
An Zheng laughed coldly: "Then do you know that those who didn't know you took the silver and killed my Heavenly Awakening Sect's people?"
That person's expression changed, "That's impossible!"
