Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Xue Zuo’s encounter Bai Renyu: Listen to me——

The people in the boat were not able to leave smoothly in the end.

Because the first voice of “murder” spread across two streets, the people who had already noticed that the motive was wrong immediately ran to the Yamen and invited the police officers on duty. Naturally, these police officers could not let the “murder scene” slip away.Also staying in place to help deal with the matter was Tie Shou. If those people in Lai Fang were really not related to the murder, this second master could still deal with them.

Yan Bugui and Bai Youjin did not get involved in this matter, and before they could say anything, Tie Shou took the initiative to give them an excuse not to continue dealing with the government: “Miss Guo Er and Miss Zuo originally planned to come with me and others to check, but there is still no trace of them. Please go and see if they have run into any trouble.”

The swordsman and Mr. Bai naturally agreed and turned around to leave.However, when they walked back the same way, they didn’t go as fast as when they started. Although it wasn’t a leisurely walk, they didn’t use Qinggong either.Bai Youjin didn’t know why, so he asked: “It seems that Young Master Yan is not worried that the two girls will encounter some kind of danger?”

Because he was flying on the roof when he came, but now he was walking on the ground. Yan Bugui, who was not sure where the streets and alleys led, could only follow Bai Youjin, who seemed to be more reliable in recognizing the road – but since he did not urge the other party to speed up, it seemed to mean many things.

When he heard the questions from his fellow travelers, he replied softly: “I asked Xiaoyu to stay behind to accompany the two girls. If they are really entangled by some dangerous person, Xiaoyu will call Xue Ling to come down and help solve the problem.” And since Xue Ling did not show up, even if there is some trouble, the problem should not be too big.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the little parrot was deliberately left behind by the swordsman. Bai Youjin was a little surprised and replied: “Young Master Yan is really thoughtful.”

“It’s just out of some habit…” Yan Bugui was not interested in mentioning that he had fallen into a trap to lure a tiger away from the mountain when he was traveling in the Central Plains before, so he paid much attention to similar things. He changed the topic to the unknown murderer, “Mr. Bai, I don’t know much about the martial arts in the Central Plains. Are there many swordsmen in the world who can thrust such a sword?”

From a certain point of view, this kind of superb swordsmanship or killing technology should be easy to identify the suspect – even if it is deliberately framed, there is a high probability that it is connected with the person who has this skill, and as long as you are willing, you can follow the clues.

From the way he looked at Iron Hand, it seemed that the catcher also had some clues about the murderer, but maybe he was used to being cautious, or maybe he had doubts about something, so he didn’t jump to conclusions easily.

Bai Youjin didn’t know whether the swordsman thought he really knew so much about the power in the capital because he heard him talk about the power in the capital that day at the barbecue stall, or whether he just asked casually. At this moment, he pondered for a moment and replied:

“There are naturally not many swordsmen with such swordsmanship, and those who will suddenly appear to kill people are probably these two – one is the owner of Wanmei Villa, Ximen Chuixue, who has been mentioned before. The owner of Ximen Villa goes out every year to kill four people he thinks deserve to die; the second is Zhongyuan Yidianhong. It is said that his swordsmanship is fast and vicious, and he is known as the ‘Quick Sword’.”

Seeing the swordsman’s thoughtful expression, he paused, and then expressed his judgment: “Ximen Chuixue kills people all based on his own ideas, neither for fame nor profit, and his Wanmei Villa is already very wealthy… If the woman did not lie, and the murderer did get money to eliminate disaster, then Zhongyuan Dianhong, who is a well-known killer, is the most likely suspect!”

“Is that so…If that’s the case, then who has stronger swordsmanship, Zhongyuan Yidianhong, Master Ximen, or the Master of Baiyun City?”

Yan Bugui had a “knowledgeable” look on his face. He originally wanted to ask more about Ye Gucheng and the others, but suddenly he heard Xiaoyu’s familiar voice coming from the night wind. He could only hear the little parrot shouting: “Scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag!”

“Yan Shaoxia, what are you…?” Bai Youjin didn’t pay attention to the strange cry that he vaguely caught – it sounded like a human voice but was a little different. However, he noticed that the swordsman’s expression suddenly became subtle when the sound came closer, so he couldn’t help but ask.

Yan Bugui only said “It’s Xiaoyu”, and then jumped onto the nearest roof. With his commanding vision, he quickly saw Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu not far away, and rushed to the scene.When Bai Youjin heard this, a sentence “That parrot can really talk” flashed subconsciously in his mind, and then followed the swordsman’s movements, and the two of them came to the two girls Guo and Zuo.

This place seemed to be an ordinary noodle stall. Both the diners and the boss had given some distance, and while eating and cooking noodles, they nodded and glanced at the center of the crowd——

There were two women and one man standing there. The two women were quite young and beautiful, and they looked like heroines in their clothes. There was a blue, green, yellow, and orange parrot flying beside them. The man looked young, at most two or three years older than the two women. He was quite handsome, and looked like a spoiled second-generation white-faced young man.

If you look at the surroundings, you can easily see that the young man should be eating noodles in a noodle stall. There is still half a bowl of noodle soup on the table in front of him; but the awning above his head has a big hole, and it seems that there is just enough room for one person to pass through…

Yan Bugui glanced at the little parrot that shut up when he saw him coming, turned to look at Guo Xiang and asked, “What happened?”

Zuo Mingzhu pursed her lips with a complex expression, while Guo Xiang coughed lightly and replied clearly: “The thing is like this -”

a moment ago.

The sound of “killing people” immediately shocked many people. Yan Bugui and Tie Shou not only reacted very quickly, but also moved very quickly. They immediately disappeared without a trace. Even Bai Youjin only paused for a moment before following closely.Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu were a little late, but after recovering, they immediately tried their best to rush towards the direction of the sound.

Jianghu people, if they are in a hurry, they like to climb over walls or jump off roofs. They don’t take the usual path – the same goes for Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu.

The problem came when Zuo Mingzhu was taking advantage of the large awning of a noodle stall that had not been folded up at night. She didn’t know if she was unlucky today or something else. She stepped down on her toes, and before she had time to breathe, she realized that the place seemed not to be intact. Before her consciousness could fully react, she had already fallen down involuntarily!

By chance, there happened to be a young man eating noodles sitting where she fell.Even though she managed to stabilize herself in time, she did not fall directly on the table, but smoothly shifted a little and stood on the ground to the side – although she inevitably stumbled when she landed, which was a bit embarrassing.

However, due to this incident, the bowl of noodles eaten by the strange young master was still “contaminated” by the dust and other filth that fell from the sky. Even he himself was stained with a lot of dust, and his face suddenly became smelly. He glared at Zuo Mingzhu and said: “Hey! Don’t leave yet! Pay for my face and clothes!”

At this time, Guo Xiang also noticed the surprise on Zuo Mingzhu’s side, and quickly turned around to find someone. Xiaoyu also flapped her wings and followed leisurely behind her – I don’t know if it was her imagination, but for a moment she seemed to catch a glimpse of the parrot that had not opened its throat and seemed to show a human expression, um, the kind that yearned for excitement and gossip.

Of course, Guo Xiang didn’t think deeply at that time. When she arrived, she happened to hear the strange young man’s rather annoyed speech and Zuo Mingzhu’s polite apology: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! This is my fault, and I will compensate you now – and this awning, please tell the store.”

The noodle stall owner also said “Ouch, ouch” at this accident: “This, this…the awning of the shop was newly mended not long ago. You are also unlucky, heroine.” Seeing that Zuo Mingzhu’s attitude was quite friendly and he insisted on compensation, he said a quite reasonable amount, and Zuo Mingzhu took out the money without any hesitation and compensated the store.

However, the store owner took the money and went back to look at his pot of noodles, but the other “chiyu” who was directly affected did not speak.The strange young master seemed to be looking Zuo Mingzhu up and down, from her appearance to her clothes to the embroidered money bag she took out from the back… Even though there was a prettier Guo Xiang standing next to her, he still seemed to only see Zuo Mingzhu.

Guo Xiang, who was watching, also felt that the other person’s gaze was not right, and immediately deliberately blocked the man’s eyes with herself: “Master, your money should not be more than ten cents, and the quality of the clothes you are wearing should not be more than two taels of silver. We can pay you double the price, but no more.”

“Double? Sounds good. After all, I was just angry at first and wanted you to compensate me for the original price, but now…” The young master grinned when he saw Guo Xiang “step forward” and tilted his head to look at Zuo Mingzhu who was behind Guo Xiang. “Let me ask you, is your surname ‘Zuo’?”

His question made the two girls stunned. Guo Xiang vaguely felt that something was wrong, while Zuo Mingzhu nodded hesitantly.Seeing this, the strange young master laughed out loud: “Zuo Mingzhu, the ‘Jade Fairy Baby’ of Tobei Villa?”

Because the other person’s tone of voice was too ridiculing when he mentioned “Jade Fairy Baby”, Zuo Mingzhu couldn’t help but frowned and said in a deep voice: “I am Zuo Mingzhu, who are you?”

“Isn’t this a coincidence?” Young Master chuckled, “My surname happens to be Xue…”

“Are you Xue Bin, the second young master of Xue Family Village?” Before the other party could finish speaking, Guo Xiang immediately reacted and turned to look at the shocked Zuo Mingzhu.

There are naturally many people with the surname Xue in the world, but there happens to be one Xue Family Village and the Zuo family of Toubishan Villa who have an unending feud!In addition to a younger brother who is said to be suffering from madness, Xue Yiren, the current owner of Xue Family Village, also has a pair of children – the eldest daughter Xue Honghong married into the Shi family, while the second son Xue Bin is still young and has no marriage for the time being.

Xue Bin had no intention of concealing anything and recognized his identity on the spot. He didn’t seem to be worried that Zuo Mingzhu and Guo Xiang would fight him in a righteous two-on-one fight. He said carelessly:

“Since you are a member of the Zuo family, we cannot settle the matter too lightly. Otherwise, if my father and the others find out in the future, they will definitely blame me for being ignorant – I don’t use the sword against women. You can pay me a thousand taels of silver and give me a personal item that can represent your identity to prove that you have fallen into my hands before leaving.”

Although Zuo Mingzhu was at fault in this matter, Xue Bin, the lion’s mouth-opening “one thousand taels of silver”, is definitely blackmail!And he also said something about “a personal item that represents identity”… Even if Zuo Mingzhu doesn’t want the feud between the two families to continue, she can’t let her give up the initiative so easily – this is not only about herself, but also the face of Beibei Villa!

When it came to the grudge between the Zuo family and the Xue family, Zuo Mingzhu stopped Guo Xiang who wanted to speak for her, took a step forward and resolutely said: “We are all sons and daughters of the world. If we have conflicts, let’s see the truth under our hands!”

“I have already said that I will not use the sword on women.” Xue Bin’s eyes fell on the embroidered money bag on Zuo Mingzhu’s waist. “At a glance, there should be a hundred silver dollars in your money bag… I’ll take a step back and you give me the money bag, and this matter will be settled!”

“You——” Zuo Mingzhu didn’t know why Xue Bin was so obsessed with being a white wolf with nothing. He wanted to curse but couldn’t because his tutor was too good.

At this moment, Bai Renyu flying by the side unexpectedly let out two “quacking” sounds, and then shouted “a scumbag” and “a scumbag” one after another, making everyone around him stunned.It was at this juncture that the parrot’s owners Yan Bugui and Bai Youjin finally came to meet…
