Chapter 80 Yinfeng Village?
Chapter 80 Yinfeng Village?
Chu Qing's mother died shortly after he was born.
Chu Yunfei told him that his mother was suffering from a serious illness that was incurable and eventually passed away.
A child without a mother is always pitiful.
That's why Chu Qing has been naughty since he was a child. As long as it wasn't something out of the ordinary, Chu Yunfei would lift him up high and put him down gently.
Only once did he sneak into Chu Yunfei's room and rummage through the drawers, looking for something interesting.
However, he accidentally broke a box, which made Chu Yunfei furious. He was no longer as tolerant as before and beat him severely with a bamboo stick.
Later, Chu Qing found out that the box was his mother's relic.
In addition to the things that the mother brought herself, there was also the token of love that Chu Yunfei gave to his mother.
What impressed Chu Qing the most was a gold hairpin.
Like the wings of a phoenix, exquisite and majestic.
There is a word on the hairpin.
Chu Qing at that time was already literate and knew that the word was pronounced "Chu".
It is exactly the same as the one he has in his hand now!
It is impossible for a mother’s belongings to change hands easily, but now that Chu Tian is married, will Chu Yunfei give his mother’s belongings to his daughter-in-law as a gift?
Or should it be given to Chu Tian, and let Chu Tian send it out as a gift of token of love?
This was the closest possibility, but it also made Chu Qing even more angry.
This town has a problem.
Chu Qing knew it when Uncle Erniu was taken away just now.
But he couldn't easily make a judgment about life or death because of these things.
The Zhao Family Restaurant was pointed out by the man just now. There must be something fishy going on, so he came here. As long as he finds something wrong, he will be ready to take action.
Unexpectedly, the golden phoenix hairpin was discovered before the cat was found.
In this case, why should we still endure?
The shopkeeper didn't know the details and kept insisting:
"Sir, I don't understand what you are saying... Please, please put me down. This, this hairpin is... is mine..."
Chu Qing nodded upon seeing this, and then he swung his hand and pressed the shopkeeper's head on the table.
One hand pressed down on his big face, and he casually took out a chopstick from the chopstick holder. With a breath of internal energy, the chopstick broke instantly.
The broken end was sharp and scary. He stretched out his hand and pointed the chopsticks at the shopkeeper's eyes.
Moving closer:
"You don't have much chance..."
The shopkeeper's forehead was covered with sweat and his whole body was shaking.
He tried hard to struggle from Chu Qing, but Chu Qing's Mingyu Sutra's internal energy flowed through his whole body. How could he resist?
But he was so tight-lipped that even when the tip of the chopsticks was right in front of him, he refused to say anything.
Chu Qing lost his patience and stabbed the chopsticks directly into the hole with a "plop".
"what!!!"
A scream came from the shopkeeper's mouth.
Chu Qing has already pulled out the chopsticks:
"You still have one eye."
"I, I don't know... I really don't know, please let me go, I really... I really don't know anything..."
The shopkeeper screamed and begged for mercy.
His expression was so sincere that even Chu Qing was a little skeptical. Could he have guessed wrong?
But at this moment, the waiter beside him suddenly said:
"I know."
"shut up!!!"
The shopkeeper, who had been submissive just now, suddenly shouted with a ferocious look on his face.
Chu Qing sneered upon hearing this, grabbed his neck, making him unable to speak, and turned to look at the waiter:
"explain."
“In…in the mayor’s yard.
“In the mayor’s yard, there is a dungeon.
"They, they are all locked up there."
After the second brother said this, it was as if all his strength had been drained away.
The whole person fell to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qing loosened the shopkeeper's throat, and the shopkeeper began to cough violently.
After taking a few deep breaths and recovering, he grabbed the chopsticks on the table and stabbed the waiter hard.
But before he could get close, Chu Qing threw him to the ground with his sleeve.
With a loud crash, the table broke into pieces and the shopkeeper rolled on the ground.
"How dare you commit murder in front of me?"
Chu Qing's eyes darkened.
"Who do you think you are?"
The shopkeeper covered one of his eyes, looked at the waiter with a smile, as if he was not smiling, as if he was not crying, and shouted:
"It's over, it's all over... You bastard, you killed us all!!"
The waiter also shouted when he heard this:
“So what if it’s over?
“I can’t stand it anymore!
"My parents were killed by them, as well as my wife and children...
“What did you say at the time?
“Let my wife go up the mountain to cook for them. The children are there. As long as I promise to help them, they will be fine.
“But what happened later?
"My wife has already been raped by them, and my child... my child..."
Having said this, he couldn't go on.
He just grabbed his hair fiercely and shouted in despair:
“Die, the people here should have died long ago!!
"We killed so many people, how come we are still alive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly and rushed towards the wall of the restaurant, wanting to die by hitting his head against the wall.
But just before his head hit the wall, Chu Qing grabbed his shoulders:
"If you want to die, take me to your mayor's residence."
The waiter struggled for a moment, but failed. He knew that if he didn't listen, he would not die, so he said:
"Okay, I promise you."
The shopkeeper laughed and said:
"Go ahead, go ahead.
“You two are done for, too. The Third Master will know what’s going on here, and then you won’t be able to escape.
“Don’t think that you are powerful just because you have practiced some martial arts and carry swords.
"To tell you the truth, people like you are nothing to the Third Master!"
Chu Qing looked back at him:
"It is not a pity to die for aiding and abetting the evil."
He reached out and took a chopstick, and with a whoosh sound, the chopstick pierced the shopkeeper's throat.
The waiter had a dull expression at first, but his face couldn't help but change when he saw this scene.
Killing people with chopsticks seems like even the biggest villains can't do it.
When Chu Qing's eyes fell on him, he suddenly felt a sense of fear for no reason.
"Walk."
Chu Qing's voice was indifferent. The waiter nodded hurriedly and led the way.
Just as I walked out of the restaurant, I saw the butcher outside the restaurant, the owner of the noodle stall, and the old man holding a baby, all looking in the direction of Zhao's Restaurant.
When he saw them come out, a strange look suddenly appeared on his numb face.
The first one to run was the old woman... She held the baby in her arms, trembling and stumbling as she ran to the waiter:
"What do you want to do?"
Chu Qing glanced at the old woman, then looked at the swaddling clothes in her arms.
It was very quiet in the cradle; even though the old man made such a loud noise, not a single sound was heard.
Just because there was no child in the cradle, but a tiny skeleton.
The waiter grinned:
"Take him to find someone."
"Can he...can he do it?"
the old man asked in an almost timid tone.
"I do not know."
The waiter shook his head:
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out... I've had enough of this life, and I've... lived enough."
After he finished speaking, he led Chu Qing and Wen Rou and walked towards the town. The people behind him looked at each other, some followed silently, and some did not move.
This stagnant town began to see ripples with the arrival of Chu Qing and Wenrou.
Chu Qing and Wen Rou followed the waiter without saying a word.
Although I have some questions that I want to ask, I will put them aside for now.
Let's talk about it when we get there...
The town was not big, and we soon arrived at a large square courtyard.
It seemed that they had received the news long ago, as rows of strong men were already standing in front of the door.
Judging from their appearance, they are the same group of people who took Uncle Erniu away just now.
"Step aside."
Chu Qing raised his eyes to look at them and spoke softly:
“I won’t say it a second time.”
A group of men looked at each other, neither speaking nor giving in.
Then a voice came from behind them:
"Young man, please go back. This waiter is talking nonsense and is crazy. Don't take his words seriously.
"I have nothing here."
"Since there's nothing, why don't you dare let me in?"
Chu Qing raised her eyes with a smile.
“This is a forbidden area in this town, outsiders are not allowed to set foot here. Even if you are a good fighter in the martial arts world, you should not break the local rules.
"Of course, if you insist on coming in, we know we are no match for you, so please kill us all and step over our corpses before you come in."
The man paused for a moment before speaking calmly:
"But if you do this, the news that you used your martial arts to kill innocent people will inevitably spread, which will be detrimental to your reputation."
After hearing this, Chu Qing laughed completely:
“Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with force.
"Rules are meant to be broken. If I am bound by these rules, what's the point of learning martial arts?"
Having said this he said no more, and he only said this once.
With a single step, the whole person suddenly moved forward.
Ming Yu Zhen Jing filled his body with energy and took a step forward. The men in front of him felt a huge suction force on him and could not help but move towards him.
After hitting him hard, he was blown away by a huge force.
bang bang bang! ! !
Wherever he passed, people and horses fell to the ground. In just a moment, he had passed through the wall of people.
He grabbed the man who had just spoken by the neck and lifted him up.
At this point, the strong men fell from mid-air.
Some of them spurted blood, some fainted directly. After all, Chu Qing showed mercy, otherwise, none of them would have survived the collision.
Looking at the person in his hand, he was the leader he met when he first arrived here.
"Are you the mayor?"
Chu Qing kicked open the gate of the yard and stepped in by grabbing his neck.
I looked back at the waiter:
"Follow me, show the way."
The waiter and the people behind him who saw this scene only then raised their jaws which had dropped to the ground.
The way he looked at Chu Qing was as if he was looking at a god.
The waiter nodded quickly and cried as he walked away.
Chu Qing didn't ask him why he was crying, but just followed him to the center of the compound.
There were still people blocking him, but apart from their strong bodies, there was nothing else worth mentioning about them, and they were unable to stop Chu Qing for even a second.
"right here."
The waiter pointed and said there was a door in the yard, and there was a tunnel leading down after entering.
However, the dungeon of such a small town cannot be compared with that of Tianwu City.
There were no cells. A large group of people were lying on the ground in handcuffs and leg irons, unable to move except for groaning.
At a quick glance, there were about ten men, women, young and old.
Chu Qing only looked at the mayor at this point:
"What else can you say?"
"...Young man...let go...let go..."
He grabbed Chu Qing's wrist and tried to pry it open... but he was completely powerless.
Chu Qing threw it to the ground, and then he coughed violently for a while, then knelt down with a plop:
"Young man, spare my life, young man, spare my life!!
"I, I have no choice...
"If we don't do this, I, everyone here, will all be in danger!!"
"Oh?"
Chu Qing's eyes swept over him:
"I'll listen to your mystery later. What happened to them?"
"Poisoned."
The mayor did not dare to hide this time:
"These people were just passing by us, and we poisoned them and locked them up here.
"Every month...then...then..."
When he said this, he seemed to be in a dilemma.
Finally, I gritted my teeth:
"Every month, the Yinfeng Village on Yinfeng Mountain would send people over to take them away.
“If…if we don’t hand over the people and the money, they will kill people.
"We really have no other choice, there is really no other choice!"
Yinfeng Mountain, Yinfeng Village...
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Where's the antidote?"
"We don't have the antidote here. The antidote is in Yinfeng Village..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qing had already unsheathed his sword, and the sword swept past his ear, and one of his ears flew off immediately.
"Don't play tricks on me! I'm asking you, where is the antidote?"
"What I said is all the truth!"
The mayor kowtowed so much that his head was soon covered in blood.
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, then took out the gold hairpin from before and glanced at Wenrou:
"Is it possible to identify the owner of this hairpin?"
Wenrou took it and smelled it, then frowned, moved closer to the group of people, and smelled it again...Finally, she pointed at a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and said:
"This hairpin has his scent on it."
Chu Qing was stunned:
"You're not mistaken?"
"It can't be wrong."
Gentle and firm said:
“I can’t smell it any longer… Apart from the fat shopkeeper, the only one who smelled it the closest was this guy.
"Besides that, there is a pungent smell, and I don't know where it comes from."
Chu Qing's face darkened, he walked into the crowd, and picked up the man:
"Tell me, where did you get this hairpin?"
After the man was poisoned, his whole body was limp. After seeing Chu Qing's methods, he did not dare to hide it and could only speak weakly:
"I...I stole it..."
"..."
Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Stolen... Not a bad result.
First, nothing really happened to my sister-in-law, and second, my eldest brother did not buy any new clothes.
Just as he was about to ask again, a burst of shouting and fighting suddenly came from outside the dungeon.
