Main text Chapter 44 If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard
"Pan Mansion?"
"What are you going to do to mobilize the troops?"
"I want to take a look and see what's going on!"
Hearing the shouting, pedestrians retreated one after another, but they did not go far, but looked at him from a distance.
The Pan Mansion was powerful, with poems and books passed down from generation to generation, and officials and gentry from past dynasties, so it was well-known in Yuanning Mansion.
From the flying dust, seven tall horses ran out. The people on the horses were majestic and strong, which corresponded to the phrase "people are tall and horses are big".
Herod!
The group of people and horses ran quickly. After the leader passed the large carriage that the Liu family was riding in, he turned his horse's head and stopped on the spot, blocking the carriage's path.
Ta-ta-ta!
Six other large horses followed, lining up on the left and right, surrounding the entire carriage.
The coachman had already slowed down when the people on the horse shouted. Now seeing this, he dared to move forward. He quickly stopped the carriage, got out of the car, clasped his fists and said, "You guys, this villain is from Yuanning Car Company." …”
The leading rider waved his hand to interrupt without waiting for the coachman to finish: "Stop talking nonsense, are these the Liu Huai family sitting in the car?"
The driver didn't dare to argue and nodded in agreement.
The rider nodded: "That's good. The Liu Huai family received great kindness from Pan Mansion, but they repaid their kindness with vengeance. Because they were dismissed from the manor, they held a grudge. They teamed up with the demons last night and killed Mr. Pan Mansion. I'm waiting here, and I was ordered to arrest him. Theirs! Since you are from the dealership, it doesn’t matter, so get out of the way.”
"This..." After hearing this, the coachman thought about how he and the Liu family stayed at an inn last night, far away from the city of Yuanning, and how the Liu family tried to assassinate Mr. Pan. He subconsciously tried to tell the difference, but before the words were spoken, he When he was glared at by the other party with a cold and stern look, he was startled and immediately dared not speak and stepped aside.
"What? What does this man mean?"
"The people in the car harmed Mr. Pan?"
"Master Pan was killed? Dead? When did it happen?"
"Who is that person on the carriage who has such ability?"
…
When the travelers around heard what the man on the horse said, their expressions changed and they murmured in low voices. However, when they saw the people getting off the carriage soon, they all changed the subject and showed doubts.
"What's going on? There are old, weak, women and children in the car? There is also a frail scholar, and he looks like he has some strength."
"Can such a person harm Mr. Pan?"
"Don't just look at the appearance. You need to know that when traveling in the world, the elderly and children have many tricks. They are not easy people."
Not to mention the words of the spectators, the group of riders was so powerful. They first shouted to clear the way, and then directly surrounded the carriage. How could Liu Huai and the others on the carriage not notice it? When they heard the other party's words, Liu Huai and Liu The others' expressions suddenly changed and they got out of the car in panic.
"Thank you Master," Liu Huai got off the car and saw the group of riders. He recognized the leader and knew that he was a martial arts master recruited by the family. He did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly, "Listen to what you just said. , Something happened to the master? But this matter has nothing to do with my Liu family. I will wait for last night..."
Master Xie, who was sitting upright on the horse, was condescending and interrupted expressionlessly: "Whether the matter has anything to do with you or not, the young master will be able to tell when he goes back. I just came here under orders. It's useless to say more. You clean up and follow me back. "
At this time, Liu Yue stepped forward and asked: "Master Xie, where was the master killed?"
Master Xie glanced at him and squeezed out two words through his teeth: "Pan Mansion."
"That's it. Our family stayed at an inn last night, more than ten miles away from the city. How could what happened in the mansion involve us? What's more, my Liu family has received a great favor from Pan Mansion and has not yet repaid it. How can we repay kindness with hatred? Besides, there are so many experts in the house, and my Liu family..." He pointed at the women and children beside him and Qiu Yan, "I really don't have that ability."
After saying these words, the onlookers around him nodded secretly, feeling that it made sense.
Master Xie narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Liu Yue, and then said: "It's better to go back and tell the young master what you have to say in self-defense. I'm just here to take you back. Just looking at your appearance, I won't be willing to go back." , Manager Zheng has already given the order. If you resist arrest, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Just do it like in the city, break your legs and take them back!”
"Got the order!"
The six big men on the horses responded. Each raised his hand and whipped out his riding whip. One of them whipped it towards Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan took two hurried steps back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"The Liu family left early. No one would doubt the Liu family, so how could they send someone to arrest them? The Liu family is weak and was forcibly captured. Once this incident spreads, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Pan family. It is necessary to shake Pan Yuanwai. He has a good reputation for hard work and a reputation for being unkind for the sake of wealth. However, Master Pan is dead, and these orders are probably issued by Master Pan..."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qiu Yan dodged a whip, but several other riders heard a few sounds in the air, raising their hands to whip Qiu Yan's aunt, aunt, and others. Liu and others looked panicked. I was so overwhelmed that I even forgot to dodge!
"He can even kill old and weak women and children. He is worthy of being a wealthy thug. He is very dedicated! Anyway, it's just a good time to try out the strength you just developed last night!"
Qiu Yan snorted coldly and was about to take action. Although he would inevitably have to explain himself afterwards, of course he couldn't care about that now.
Just then.
Whoosh!
I saw a few thin shadows coming through the sky and hitting the hands of several big men.
"Ouch!"
After several screams of pain, the men immediately took off their long whips and fell to the ground. The panicked Liu and others escaped.
"Who is it? Hidden arrows!" Master Xie turned his wrist and whipped the whip in the air. With a "ding" sound, the thin shadow that attacked him was whipped away directly. It turned out to be a copper coin!
Master Xie's pupils shrank after the copper coin flew away. A vigilant look appeared on his face. He turned his head to look at the side. A tall and rough-looking man was standing there. He had a strong back and a thick-backed knife on his back.
"Brother, which gang are you from? What do you mean?" Master Xie asked coldly. The copper coin just now was thrown by this man.
The big man grinned and strode over: "Yan saw injustice and drew his sword to help. These people are old and weak, why force them."
"So you are fellow Jianghu people," Master Xie bowed to the big man, "This Liu family was originally a long-term worker in the Pan Mansion, and now they are suspected of committing a crime. According to the rules of the Jianghu, if they are found to have murdered their master, they will be severely punished. It is nothing to use some violent means when arresting them."
The Jianghu has its own set of rules, including capital punishment, heavy punishment, and light punishment. The capital punishment is slow slicing, the heavy punishment is drowning, and the minor punishment is red mixing. Master Xie saw that the big man was extraordinary and spoke Jianghu jargon, so he told him directly.
The big man surnamed Yan frowned slightly after hearing this.
Just then.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A burst of air-breaking sound was heard, followed by a series of screams, followed by a series of "thumps". Except for Master Xie, the other horsemen fell to the ground and rolled.
"What's going on?" Master Xie's eyes widened, but before he could come back to his senses, he saw a whip coming towards him.
He was skilled and courageous, so he didn't dodge. He raised his hand and swung the whip, using his skills as defense. When his arm shook, the light and dark forces shook at the same time, and there was a "snap" sound, and the man and the horse shook together. Master Xie was whipped into the air by this whip!
"What a strong force!"
He turned in the air to maintain his balance, turned his sight and looked towards the attacking direction, and saw a scholar holding a long whip, coming towards him!
"If someone respects me one foot, I respect him ten feet. If someone offends me, even if I, Qiu Yan, am a scholar, I will not surrender!"
Before he finished speaking, the whip had already been whipped in front of Master Xie again!
