I know, this old Wu just do not want to take responsibility, although he does not know what is jianghu, but kill the suspect afterwards also need to do a lot of reports, he just want more than one thing is better than less, since I reported it, then it is better for me to take the pot.
I waved my hand and said, “Old Wu, tell your men to put all the guns away.”
Without hesitation, Team Wu raised his hand and the armed police put away all their guns.
I added, “Stand back a little.”
This time Team Wu was puzzled and asked me why.
I raised my gun and pointed it at Guan Yunyu’s forehead, explaining with an expressionless face, “Don’t let the blood splatter on your faces later.”
I snapped the safety and everyone drew in a breath of cold air, neither believing that I dared to shoot nor fearing that I would do so.
Master Hu hurriedly advised me, “Xiaochao, calm down, this is not a trivial matter.”
I didn’t look at Hu, I didn’t care about anyone else from a distance, my eyes were fixed on Guan Yunyu, whose white face was a mass of fear, terror, resignation and anger.
Firm and determined, I said, “I don’t care if you are a Jianghu or whatever, the disciple of the Thousand Fists is my brother, and if you want to kill my brother, I will save him even if I have to accompany this life.”
Guan Yunyu opened his mouth and was about to speak when I added, “That’s number one, number two, Guan Yunyu listen to me, I told you, the Thousand Fists School is my Junran property and this man you’ve grabbed is an employee of our Junran. I don’t know what kind of jianghu people you are talking about, are jianghu people not people and don’t have to obey the law. I was a soldier, my men and I broke our heads and spilled our blood at the border, not to protect a stable piece of home for you to run amok. What deal you have with the officials is none of my business, I don’t know and I don’t care, all I know is that you’re a rat turd and I’m going to get rid of you now.”
“No, no, you wouldn’t dare ……”
I said, “Then try.”
“No!”
Bang ……
The gun didn’t have a silenced tube, and the loud thud of the bullet discharging provoked a subconscious closing of the eyes and mouth as a smell of gunpowder filled the living room.
Guan Yunyu fell to his knees with a poof, the knife fell to the floor, the hostage he was holding at this point quickly fled, and someone from the police immediately rushed up to help bandage and treat his wounds.
I walked up to him, the gun still hot, and I was tempted to sneer at him a few times.
But I don’t know if it was because I was having a bad day, but the words just wouldn’t come out.
Just now my bullet missed him and grazed his face and hit the wall next to him, but the moment I fired, Guan Yunyu had actually thrown his knife and was ready to surrender.
“You’ve made the wrong choice.” I said.
Captain Wu’s men rushed up, handcuffed Guan Yunyu and took him away, and soon the police took away everyone else at the scene who was carrying a controlled knife.
A few people from the Thousand Doors were also taken to the police station for culture, but Master Hu had informed them long ago that they were not allowed to use knives or guns, so most of them didn’t have knives with them.
Everyone was taken away without discrimination, and Team Wu was still very happy, telling me, “Thank you, Team Zhang, for giving me such a big case right after the New Year.”
I was very unhappy in my heart, but I couldn’t show it on the surface.
“No one is allowed to stay, take them all away!” Captain Wu commanded the scene and turned to me and said, “Team Zhang, we still need to trouble you to give us a statement at the police station.”
“I’ll come in the morning, I’ve got things to do now.”
I still didn’t know what was going on with Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai. Zhao Zichen had asked me to delay for a while longer, and now they had all been dragged to the police station, so that was more than a delay.
At the same time, I wanted to take this opportunity to find out what the official attitude towards Jianghu was.
“All right then, I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow.”
“Don’t bother, ask Liu Hao to bring us along tomorrow. Sorry, I’ll go and work on other things first.”
“Alright then, go ahead and get busy.”
I hurriedly left the hall, then dialled Zhao Zichen.
“What the hell are you guys doing?”
“Come over now, we’re at Nien En Hall in the back of the hill, find someone who knows the way and hurry up, we’re all here.”
“You guys, who else?”
“Who else could it be, Yue Man Gong and Wu Yi Yi, and Old Xia, come here quickly.”
“Where are Baldy and Liu Hao?”
“Can I take him with me? I asked Liu Hao to send him away, so come over quickly.”
I grabbed the passing Xiaogong and said, “Take me to Nian En Tang.”
Xiao Gong was surprised and asked, “What are you doing there on a New Year’s Day?”
“What’s wrong with there?”
Xiaogong had a strange expression and said, “It’s the ancestral hall of the residents of the Wushan Mountain generation, and it’s the middle of the night on New Year’s Day, aren’t you afraid?”
“Ancestral hall?”
I muttered, “What was Zhao Zichen doing there?
But I figured that Zhao Zichen wouldn’t be so bored as to scare me just to trick me into going there, he must have a reason.
“Go, take me there.”
“No way, you really want to go to that place, huh?”
I thought it was strange, it’s just a shrine, at most there are ashes there, is there a need to be so scared?
Xiao Gong finally told me the truth after I repeatedly asked.
It turned out that there were not only cremations but also burials in the area.
Because Wuxia Mountain is the territory of the Thousand Clans, the Jianghu people can be buried in the ground, but the Thousand Clans don’t care much about this, so those around who want to be buried in the ground bury their graves behind Wuxia Mountain, a grave area dedicated to the Thousand Clans for earth burials, and this Nian En Hall is in this place.
“Brother Zhang, I beg you, I’m really scared, can I tell you how to go?”
I was not trying to make things difficult for him, I was afraid that if I went the wrong way and couldn’t find the right way, I would be delayed. If my legs were fine, I would never make things difficult for him, but now my legs are not so good and I would be in big trouble if I went the wrong way.
I hooked him by the shoulders, but Xiao Gong’s small body could not break free.
I said, “I’m not even afraid of the living, why should I be afraid of the dead? If there really is a ghost, let me open my eyes, I still have a message to entrust to my comrades. Go ……”
Xiao Gong had no choice but to come with me.
The Nenen Hall is quite far from the main hall of the Thousand Fist Hall, it is not even on the same mountain as the Nenen Hall, although there are paths between the mountains, but as the saying goes, looking at the mountain is a dead horse, it looks quite close, but it took a good half hour to run there.
The main reason is that Xiao Gong can’t run, my legs are not up to it and I am faster than him.
But Xiao Gong was too timid and I had to wait for him the whole time, otherwise he would have started howling if I had left him behind.
Suddenly, Xiao Gong pulled a hand on me, and said in a godlike way that he wouldn’t go any further.
I said, “What for? It’s New Year’s Eve and the yang energy is so heavy, even if there were bulls, ghosts and snakes, they would have been scared away long ago.”
Xiao Gong shook his head desperately and was on the verge of tears: “Brother, can’t you see? There’s a ghostly fire at the entrance of the ancestral hall of the Thousand Doors.”
I had seen a lot of dead people, and I had physically reincarnated many of them, but I had never seen a ghost fire before.
I curiously looked in the direction Xiao Gong was pointing, and there were two very small flames, the size of a fingernail, floating in the night sky.
I pointed and asked, “Is that it?”
Xiao Gong, with a sobbing voice, nodded desperately, “Brother, don’t go over there, you don’t know, our Wushan Mountain is haunted, some people see men and women dressed in white wandering around the mountain in the middle of the night, what is it if not a ghost? I’m really scared, brother, let’s go back.”
I stared at him, looking at him again and again, and Xiao Gong asked me strangely what I was looking at.
“Brother, you, don’t scare me, it’s not something behind me, is it?”
I said, “Well, there’s a faceless woman behind you.”
“Ah!!!”
