The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1753 Shi Qian: "Brother, I didn't see anything!"

Under the bright moonlight, Zhang Cheng silently watched Ximen Qing.
Because this was the first time he had ever asked someone not to die!

"Useless trash! Wasn't the script you got supposed to be Ximen Chuixue's? You died so quickly. Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't have been able to do it!"

Looking at Ximen Qing with disdain, Zhang Cheng turned his head and gazed at the room in the distance.
But as soon as he pushed open the door and saw the woman who had been strangled to death, he fell silent.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward to cover the other person with a coat, then silently left the house.

No wonder this woman didn't appear when he fought Ximen Qing; she was already dead!
With a mocking smile, Zhang Cheng looked at Ximen Qing and kicked him in the neck.
"boom!"

With a whooshing sound, Ximen Qing was instantly sent flying.
But just as Zhang Cheng was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned his head.
But the moment his sharp gaze fell upon the eaves, he immediately drew his dagger and leaped onto the nearby wall.

"Holy crap, holy crap, we've been spotted!"
Seeing Zhang Cheng charging straight at him, the man hiding on the roof was immediately terrified.

Because he personally witnessed how Ximen Qing was "hammered" to death by his own fists.
If Zhang Cheng catches him, he might go to the underworld to chase after Ximen Qing and tell him that Zhang Cheng begged him not to die!
He leaped into the air, and with a nimble somersault, quickly jumped off the rooftop, which was four or five meters high.

Staring in astonishment at the other person, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Ximen Qing got the wrong script, playing Spider-Man Wu Song, and now this guy's a parkour guy!"

But despite the criticism, the pursuit must continue, because eyewitnesses were never part of Zhang Cheng's plan!

Grabbing the eaves with both arms, Zhang Cheng leaped down and then began to run wildly.
Seeing Zhang Cheng relentlessly pursuing him from behind, the man in front was terrified. He relied on his lightness skill to survive in the martial arts world, but now Zhang Cheng was almost catching up with him. What incredible speed!
Instead of yelling for him to stop, Zhang Cheng gripped the dagger in his hand, intending to go up and have a heart-to-heart talk with him!
"Brother, don't chase after them! I didn't see anything, really! I swear!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng behind him, the man was so frightened that he couldn't help but shout.

But Zhang Cheng didn't believe a word the man said, because he only believed that a secret was one that no one else knew!
But once two people know, it's no longer a secret!
Because if he can tell you, he can naturally tell others!

"Wow!"

The dagger was thrown from behind, and the man running ahead broke out in a cold sweat, ignoring even the wound on his cheek.
Seeing that his first attack had missed, Zhang Cheng hardened his heart and took out a hammer from his storage space.

Seeing Zhang Cheng behind him raising a hammer, the man cried out in terror, "Help! Murder! Murder!"

As the man shouted, the burly constables on patrol immediately rushed over.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Zhang Cheng frowned, drew his knife from his waist, and seemed to be considering whether to kill the other party.

As if sensing Zhang Cheng's thoughts, the man immediately shouted, "Brother, I really didn't see you! I, Shi Qian, swear on my life, please, spare me!"

Upon hearing the other person's name was Shi Qian, Zhang Cheng immediately stopped in his tracks, because this guy would be useful in the future.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng had no intention of making a move, Shi Qian immediately said, "Brother, you'd better hurry, the constables are coming, or it will be too late!"

After glancing at Shi Qian, Zhang Cheng turned and walked into the alley, quickly disappearing from the spot.

When the arriving constables saw Shi Qian, they immediately shouted angrily, "But you're the one shouting!"

"It's me, it's me, Officer!"

Shi Qian squatted obediently on the ground, quite frightened at this moment.
Because he was one of only two people who survived Zhang Cheng's pursuit!
As for who the first person is, it is naturally Dai Shan, whose prestige remains unpredictable to this day!
Dai Shan: No matter how fierce or powerful Jia Jue is, he may not be able to take my head from among ten thousand troops!
The other princes: Daishan is really damn amazing!

The next morning, Zhang Cheng, who had just arrived at the yamen for his shift, saw Er Gou walking out.
"Brother Laifu, what happened? Why are you in such a panic!" Zhang Cheng asked, looking at Er Gou.
"Oh dear, something terrible happened at Wang Po's house and Ximen's house last night. A bandit not only killed Wang Po, but also caused trouble for Master Ximen!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke, Er Gou quickly began to explain.

"Ah, is that so? Master Ximen has treated me so well! He even invited me to a brothel. I will definitely avenge him!"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious as the man spoke with a earnest expression.

Just as a group of constables arrived at the Ximen residence, the servants had already been awakened.
However, looking at their expressions, Liu, the squad leader, frowned and said, "Useless! Can't you find even a single clue?"

"Squad leader, the guy we caught yesterday might know something!"

When asked to address Liu, the head constable, the burly constable quickly offered an explanation.
"Oh, tell me about it!"

Looking at the person next to him, Liu, the squad leader, couldn't help but glance at him.
"We heard someone shouting 'murder' late last night and gave chase, but we only found one person. I guess he saw something and was being chased, so he had no choice but to call out to us!"

Looking at Liu Ban Tou, the burly constable immediately spoke.
"What about that person?"

Upon suddenly hearing that there was hope of solving the case, Liu, the head of the squad, anxiously inquired...
"He ran away? He escaped? We were just about to put a rope around his neck and take him to the yamen, but who knew he would untie it."

The constables looked at Liu, the squad leader, with embarrassment.

Looking at the constables in front of him, Liu, the head constable, roared angrily, "Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash! You can't even keep an eye on a single person! What use are you? All you do is show off your power in the streets!"

After Liu Bantou finished venting his anger, he also led his men back, because he still needed to report to the county magistrate.
As a prominent family in Qinghe County, Ximen Qing's death was no small matter; it involved many troubles.

After all, whether he had an heir and how his family property would be distributed were matters that required the county magistrate's personal attention.
"Waaaaah, Brother Ximen, you died so tragically! Waaaaah!"

As he watched "Ximen Qing" being carried out, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but wail and cover his face in tears.

Er Gou came up behind Zhang Cheng, patted him on the shoulder, and looked very serious.
"Brother Laifu, don't worry about me, just let me have a good cry!"

Turning to Er Gou, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Ximen, you..."

"You're crying over the wrong person. That's Ximen Qing, and this is his concubine who was strangled to death!"

Awkwardly, Er Gou was speechless.
Even if you're mourning, you should at least look carefully, right?
"what!"

Looking up at Er Gou, Zhang Cheng was also stunned.

"Go!"

Speechless, Er Gou looked at Zhang Cheng and felt a pang of heartache.
After observing for a while, he realized that Zhang Cheng was all talk and no action.
If he didn't know that Zhang Cheng had been to a brothel with Ximen Qing, he would have really thought that the two were "brothers and close friends"!

Leaving the Ximen residence, Zhang Cheng rubbed his eyes, squinting as he said, "Damn it, I should have brought ginger with me. I can't even cry like this now!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng slowly stopped and looked at the person who had casually taken someone else's purse not far away.
A sinister smile crept across Zhang Cheng's lips as he licked them and said, "Good lad, you're not going to run, are you?"
