Chapter 118 Heads Fall
Pangsi is a very tough northern man, over 1.9 meters tall. He is fat but not sloppy and strong. But when he rushed in, he could hardly stand up, and the blood from his body was flowing down all the way.
At first glance, he couldn't tell how many injuries he had on his body. There were many holes in his clothes. It was easy to tell that it was cut by a sharp blade. He held Jin Sanling in one hand, and all the muscles on his arms became tense. He was carrying Qu Cangzi on his back and held the other hand behind him.
When An Zheng rushed over, he saw that there was a deep wound on the arm where Pang Si was holding Jin Sanling. The flesh was separated to both sides and the white bones could be seen. With such injuries, he gritted his teeth and brought Jin Sanling and Qu Fengzi back.
The moment he saw An Zheng, Pang Si finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
Qu Liuxi rushed out of the room and quickly took out the medicine box.
"My master was knocked out and carried in for rest and bandage the wound."
"Pang Si's body has external injuries. Treat it first, and there is no internal injury."
"Jin Sanling..."
An Zheng saw Qu Liuxi's hand tremble for a moment, and his heart immediately sank.
"How is he?"
"He... is dead."
Qu Liuxi's face turned pale like paper, and her hands were trembling constantly. She had treated many people over the years, but this was the first time she saw people in the sect die.
Jin Sanling had many knife wounds on his body, twice as many as Fat Si. His body was almost cut off, and the wounds were all deep, making people feel cold in his heart. The fatal wounds were in his neck and heart, which cut off his throat and arteries with one knife, and stabbed his heart with one knife.
"Save him."
An Zheng knelt down on one knee, his eyes turned red when he looked at Jin Sanling's body.
Qu Liuxi shook her head pale and weakly: "I can't save it, even the purple-grade magic medicine can't save it."
An Zheng fell to the ground in depressed state, his eyes empty.
After a moment, he stood up and strode outside: "Cure the madman and the fat four."
Du Shushou was worried about him and hurriedly chased him. But An Zheng stopped him, and An Zheng asked him to take care of him at home. Gu Qianye took off a ring-headed knife from the weapon rack and followed An Zheng out of the gate.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Sui arrived with a group of constables. Liu Sui was so tired that he was panting and sweating on his face. When he saw An Zheng walking out, he hurried over and stopped him: "Master An, Master An, listen to me, this matter is beyond my expectations. Master An, don't leave first, listen to my explanation."
An Zheng stopped and looked at Liu Sui coldly: "I handed over the person to you. You said that you would send him back to me well at night. Now that the person is back, his body has almost been chopped into meat paste. How do you want to explain it to me?"
Liu Sui gasped and said, "I didn't expect that the group of people were so crazy. The prefect specially asked me to teach them a lesson and warned them not to cause trouble early. But no one expected that they were so brave and bribed some people from the underworld to attack Mr. Jin and the other three on the way. Leave this matter to me to check if it's okay? Don't worry, Master An, I will definitely give you an explanation."
An Zheng stared straight at Liu Sui's eyes: "I'll ask for the explanation you gave me later. Now tell me who they bought."
Liu Sui was stunned for a moment: "I... don't know?"
An Zheng reached out and grabbed Liu Sui's clothes and lifted him up: "After something happened, you knew that the group of people bought the killers. You don't know who they bought? I'll give you face and let you take the people away. Now people are back here. Don't you want to give me an explanation? Let me tell me who those killers are?!"
Liu Sui looked at An Zheng with red eyes, not because he really didn't want to say it, but because he really didn't know who those people were bribed. An Zheng looked like a wild beast now, and he knew that once he talked nonsense, there would be bloody storms in Fanggu City tonight. With his understanding of An Zheng, An Zheng could turn the entire Fanggu Mansion over for his own people.
"Master An, please listen to me. This matter must be left to the government office for handling. The prefect has already rushed to the government office."
"Since you don't want to say it, I'll look for it myself."
An Zheng threw Liu Sui aside: "You said, I will only kill the people. If you don't say it, I will find out one to kill the other."
Liu Sui almost cried anxiously, holding An Zheng's legs, he didn't dare to let go: "Master An, I beg you, I really don't know, I beg you not to do it tonight. Leave this matter to the prefect, he will definitely give you an explanation. It is a matter of trouble now, and there is no accident in Fang Gucheng, otherwise the prefect cannot explain to the court."
An Zheng kicked Liu Sui away: "These have nothing to do with me, I just want the murderer."
Liu Sui shouted hoarsely: "Master An, don't be impulsive, those people must be hidden, it's hard to find."
An Zheng strode out: "Fang Gu Mansion will not worry about this matter."
He went out and followed the bloodstains all the way, and walked about two miles away from the Tianqi Sect. He saw more bloodstains on the ground. Pang Si's martial arts are good, and although he cannot practice, his physical skills are already very strong. Although he was seriously injured, he ran the two miles with his strength, and his speed was not very slow at the beginning. Moreover, the target of those who were chasing them was Jin Sanling, so he did not keep chasing them.
An Zheng looked around and saw a group of killers besieging Pang Si and Jin Sanling.
He searched carefully and saw the bloodstains heading in another direction, and then he continued to chase them along the bloodstains.
Liu Sui chased after him: "Mr. An, this matter is really not simple. Those killers may also have a good background, otherwise who would dare to kill people in the capital."
An Zheng ignored it and continued to check and walked forward.
Liu Sui followed his butt: "Master An, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you should also consider it. After all, you have just come to the capital from another place and don't know much about the capital. Sometimes, people who are shameless in the underworld are more difficult to deal with than those in the open. You have a bright future in the Ministry of War, so why bother to ruin your future for this matter?"
An Zheng said as he walked, "I don't want a future, I want the murderer to die."
Liu Sui knew that An Zheng could not persuade An Zheng, so he quickly sent someone back to Fanggu Mansion to inform the prefect Xu Zhengsheng. An Zheng nodded slightly to Gu Qianye, and Gu Qianye immediately left quietly.
Half an hour later, Gu Qianye returned and whispered in An Zheng's ear: "I followed Liu Sui's people back to Fanggu Mansion. Not long after, Xu Zhengsheng sent someone to leave the government office. I followed that person all the way. The place I went was either where the group of people who were stumbled on the carnival or where the killers were."
An Zheng nodded: "Let's go."
Gu Qianye rushed out as soon as he leaped, and An Zheng followed closely behind. Liu Sui didn't know what they said, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.
Gu Qianye took An Zheng through several streets and arrived outside an inn. An Zheng pushed open the door and went in. The inn owner and his friend were frightened in the room.
"Where are people?"
An Zheng asked.
The inn owner knelt down with a pounce: "My uncle, don't implicate the small shops in your affairs in the world. We are also a small business, and we dare not provoke you guys in the world."
An Zheng took out a silver note and handed it to the inn owner: "These money is enough for you to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. Tell me where the group of people are going. You will leave Fanggucheng early tomorrow morning and come back in a year and a half."
The boss originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at the numbers on the bill, he couldn't resist. He took the bill and pointed at the door: "I'm going there, I can only tell you this, uncle."
An Zheng clasped his fists: "Thank you."
He turned around and rushed out, and followed the street with Gu Qianye. After running for less than three miles, he saw several carriages in front of him running quickly. An Zheng rushed over and went straight to the front of the first carriage, then reached out to grab the reins and pressed down. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, unable to move. The carriage suddenly stopped, and the carriage rushed forward, An Zheng kicked the carriage, and the carriage immediately disintegrated.
There were many people in the carriage coming out, and An Zheng saw at a glance that one of them was one of the men whose legs were broken during the day.
The people in the carriage behind rushed over, An Zheng reached out and took the ring-headed knife from Gu Qianye. Dozens of big men rushed towards An Zheng with weapons. An Zheng slashed the front one with a knife, and then started killing like a tiger entering the flock of sheep.
There were constant shouts on the street, and the sound of the knife breaking the flesh and bones mixed in it.
An Zheng's knife cuts a person's neck and then cuts the next person in half. The dozens of people rushed towards him, and he goes against the direction, killing from one end to the other. In just a few minutes, dozens of people were chopped over to the ground. The ring-headed knife of the mortal iron in his hand had been broken into pieces.
An Zheng, who was covered in blood, kicked over several carriages and pulled out the people one by one. He asked the people to kneel there and kneel in a row.
He put the knife on the shoulder of the first person: "Tell me, who are the killers you hired?"
The first person was trembling and did not dare to speak. An Zheng raised his knife and chopped his head down. Then he walked to the second person and placed the knife on the shoulder: "Do you say it?"
"I don't know..."
The second man cried and shouted, and An Zheng cut him down with another knife.
He walked to the third person: "Do you say it?"
"It's the Sifanghui!"
The third man knelt down and kept kowtowing: "It's Sifanghui. The manager hired people from Sifanghui to kill that Master Jin. Then we hid them all at night and left the capital early tomorrow morning. The manager said that he couldn't swallow this tone. Even if he didn't hang out in the capital, he would let you know how powerful we were. He also said that he would hide out of the capital for a few days and then come back, killing your people one by one. If you come out, kill one to let you know how powerful we are."
An Zheng asked: "Who is in charge?"
The man quickly replied: "There are two, one is the old lady. She was frightened before and was in the carriage behind her. The other is the old lady's son Hu Duanhuan, who is also our leader. He summoned us and he arranged everything he did on weekdays."
An Zheng asked again: "Where is he?"
The man replied: "It should be still in Fang Gu's mansion and is negotiating with the prefect."
An Zheng fell to his sword and killed the man. He killed one by one, killing all the remaining dozen people, not one of them left.
After killing, An Zheng rushed outside the Fang Gu Mansion Office with the blood knife that had broken out countless gaps. He kicked the door of the government office and strode into the house with the blood knife. Several constables on duty inside were startled, but none of them dared to stop it. An Zheng walked through the lobby, walked to the back of the bookstore, and kicked the door of the study room open.
Xu Zhengsheng, the governor of Fang Gu Mansion who was talking to someone in the room, saw An Zheng coming in and his face turned pale, but after a moment, he stood up and slapped the table: "An Zheng! You broke into the government office at night, what do you want to do!"
An Zheng ignored him at all, turned his head and looked at the man sitting opposite Xu Zhengsheng, who was scared and a little overwhelmed for a moment: "Are you Hu Duanhuan?"
The man nodded subconsciously, then shook his head violently: "I'm not, I'm not!"
An Zheng looked at Xu Zhengsheng: "Mr. Xu asked me what I want to do? I'll tell you..."
He grabbed Hu Duanhuan, pressed Hu Duanhuan's head with one hand, and pressed it on Xu Zhengsheng's table. He raised the blood knife with the other hand, and then slashed it down. The knife, which was no longer sharp, cut off Hu Duanhuan's neck with a puff, leaving his head on the table, and his body fell down. The blood spurted out of his neck sprayed Xu Zhengsheng's face.
"Mr. Xu, I'm here to kill people. This matter is not over yet. Now it's my turn to ask you, what are you planning?"
Xu Zhengsheng collapsed on the ground: "An... Master An, I don't know about this. I'm asking. I just know that it must be the one he was looking for, but I didn't understand what he said to me..."
An Zheng asked: "Where will Sifang be?"
Xu Zhengsheng subconsciously pointed outside: "It's in Dongshijo, Sifang Guild Hall."
An Zheng shook his wrist and the blood knife thrust between Xu Zhengsheng's legs with a bang: "If I let me know you know in advance, even if my head falls to the ground, I will have your head fall to the ground first."
