Chapter 12 Qiu Cai

Chapter 12 Qiu Cai

“Wow!！”

Noisy footsteps sounded, and a large number of people holding torches came from a distance, surrounding the Xu family's mansion..

The leader was seven feet tall, with a sinister face and a beard at the corner of his mouth, giving people a very unpleasant feeling..

He looked at the bloody scene in front of him that was like hell, and his brows couldn't help but twitch. Looking around, he first paused for a moment on Su Heng's tall and burly back, and then fell on Song Baoyi, the chatou beside him, "Song Chatou, Tell me what happened here？”

The county lieutenant is an official responsible for judicial arrests and hearing cases. In grassroots units like Changqing County, the power of the county lieutenant is second only to the county magistrate..

The county captain of Changqing County is named Qiu Cai. As his name suggests, he is an official just to make a fortune..

When trying a case, regardless of the reason, the reporter and the defendant will be arrested first, and each will be beaten fifty times indiscriminately..

Then look at the amount of atonement paid and do further processing..

Naturally, this resulted in many unjust and wrongful convictions, but because Qiu Cai was so greedy, even a child from a wealthy family would inevitably feel pain if he was blackmailed. In the long run, Changqing County's public security has been maintained fairly well, and people are bullied by their power. Not many things like that happen.

Song Baoyi came to Qiu Cai's side. Although he didn't like this person, he still bowed and saluted and told him everything about what happened just now..

“The dead and rotting corpse stood up and attacked you? "After hearing these words, Qiu Cai was so angry that he laughed out loud. He sneered and said, "Are you stupid to be the county captain? You will listen to your nonsense. I see that someone is clearly in conflict with the Xu family. Coveting the Xu family's property and killing people in the street, this is how the current scene happened.！”

“Mr. Qiu, is it really what Song Chatou said?.”

Su Gui finally stood up with the help of the two nurses. When he heard these words, his eyes darkened again. He hurriedly came to Qiu Cai's side, took his arm, and a valuable jade pendant was released. Stuffed into Qiu Cai's hands.

Qiu Cai stretched out his hand and touched it.

It feels warm to the touch and has exquisite carvings, so I know it is of the highest quality..

But just a valuable jade pendant was not enough to solve this incident. He guessed that this matter had little to do with the Su family, but it didn't matter. Since people from the Su family appeared at the scene of the crime, then It is natural to knock out a sum of money.

“This county captain also enforces the law impartially, so naturally I can't believe what you say." Qiu Cai coughed twice and said coldly, "Yes or no, let's take the person back to the Yamen first..”

Su Gui's complexion changed drastically.

What kind of place is that Yamen? It's easy to get in and hard to get out..

He was not worried about money but worried about his son, and Su Heng's temper had always been explosive. If there was any conflict inside, things would become even more troublesome and he would not be able to get off the stage..

Qiu Cai didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the police officer next to him to come forward and arrest him..

Stab！

Su Heng tore off a piece of rag from the corpse and slowly wiped away the blood on his body and arms. When he heard the noise, he turned around and cast a cold glance. The officers who had followed the order were immediately pinned to the ground. , no one has the sense to act rashly.

Qiu Cai frowned slightly, with a trace of displeasure on his face..

He raised his head and met Su Heng’s eyes..

The evil aura in his eyes that had not dissipated rushed to his face, like a scarlet lightning, falling on him. Qiu Cai suddenly choked on his breath, and his two arms trembled..

When he was young, he went out to study and traveled over the mountains. He encountered a fierce tiger that was over ten feet long. Even though he was a hundred meters away and there were several strong men guarding him, Qiu Cai was still frightened when he looked at each other from a distance. It was so overwhelming that I couldn't sleep peacefully for several days, and I looked visibly haggard..

And the Su Heng in front of him, the evil aura on his body.

It was a hundred times, a thousand times more ferocious than the tiger we encountered more than 20 years ago..

——he will die！

A strong premonition arose in Qiu Cai's heart.

Maybe in the next few minutes, maybe in the next breath, the next blink of an eye. Rules can be used to restrain people, but they cannot be used to restrain monsters, let alone monsters that are more fierce and terrifying than monsters..

“Mr. Qiu, Mr. Qiu, please think twice." Su Gui looked sad and stuffed several heavy gold ingots into Qiu Cai's hand..

There is great terror between life and death！

Qiu Cai was so excited that he broke free from the terrifying evil spirit..

He grabbed Su Gui's hand and stuffed all the gold ingots and the jade pendant back. Su Gui thought that the price he paid was not enough, but he saw Qiu Cai's always sinister face in the red light of the torch. He was actually smiling. Then he opened his arms and gave Su Gui a firm hug..

“Hahaha, Brother Su, what are you doing?" Qiu Cai laughed and held Su Gui's hand, "I was confused just now. It is obvious that your young master has extraordinary martial arts and helps the government to eliminate demons and quell troubles. You should be rewarded. It’s just that it’s getting late today and it’s not early. I’ll have to pay you a visit some other day..”

Qiu Cai handed over to Su Guigong. Under the latter's puzzled eyes, he asked a group of people to stay and clean up the blood stains at the scene, and then hurriedly left with another group of people holding torches..

Su Gui stood there blankly, and Su Hengze appeared quietly behind him..

“Let's go home too." Su Heng looked at Qiu Cai's leaving figure, his voice unusually calm..

“Oh." Su Gui nodded subconsciously..

Then he saw Su Heng walking alone in front of him.

He waved his sleeves and wiped away the dust that had just been stained on his body, and then trotted all the way, following Su Heng hurriedly towards the Su family's mansion..

……

back home.

Su Heng asked his servants to boil water, take a bath, and then put on brand new clothes..

He looked at the bright moon hanging in the night, the willows swaying, and the slender willow branches outlined the width of the evening breeze, and his whole body felt cool..

Thinking back on what happened in the evening.

If Qiu Cai insists on his own way and continues to arrest him, what will he do?.

There is no doubt that Qiu Cai will die.

Then what？

Those servants he brought will also die..

If the conflict continues to expand, many people in Changqing County will die..

Many people, everyone... must die. He knew it was wrong, but the feeling of killing was so fascinating..

“When joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have not yet arisen, they are called in-between. When they arise, they are all in the middle, and they are called harmony... When harmony is achieved, where is the position of heaven, and where is the development of all things?……”

Outside the window, under the bright moonlight, the clear sound of Su Shang's reading came from.

Su Heng was in a daze.

Return to reality from dark desires.

He tightened his clothes, then pushed open the wooden door and walked towards the frost-covered courtyard outside..
