This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 81 Killing

It was already daybreak.

The courtyard was filled with the smell of blood, but it did not drift far due to the constant washing of rain.

Luo Jiaorong stood in the corridor, her face pale and her whole body trembling.

Xiaohuan supported her and trembled beside her.

Luo Zijun had already washed his hands and body, and was studying the black purse in his hand.

This black purse was found on the body.

It looked bulging, but strangely, there was nothing inside.

He suddenly remembered the cloth bags and purses he saw every time he went to the warrior shop to buy medicine, and a bold guess immediately came to his mind.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped in from the wall at the gate.

The steel knife in his hand shines with a cold light!
Luo Zijun's face changed, and he immediately picked up the axe on the ground and said urgently: "Sister Xiaohuan! Come in quickly!"

"Ok?"

The person who had jumped over the wall was originally full of murderous intent. After hearing the voice and seeing the people in the courtyard, he was suddenly stunned: "Zijun?"

"Brother-in-law?"

When Luo Zijun saw who was coming, he was also stunned.

One of them held a knife, the other held an axe, and they looked at each other.

"Brother-in-law, how did you jump over the wall to get in?"

Luo Zijun asked.

Li Zhengshan's gaze suddenly fell on the corpse on the ground. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly walked to the corpse to check.

Naturally, he smelled blood outside and rushed over the wall to come in.

"This……"

When he saw the face of the head on the ground clearly, he was shocked: "It's this beast!"

His face turned pale, the knife in his hand trembled, he raised his head, looked at the weak-looking brother-in-law in front of him, and stuttered: "Zijun, you...you..."

"I killed him."

Luo Zijun raised the axe in his hand.

Then he told her everything that had just happened.

"Thanks to Senior Sister's poison..."

After hearing this, Li Zhengshan's face became even uglier, and the knife in his hand trembled uncontrollably.

"Zijun, do you know who this person is? He is the escaped criminal that my brother-in-law mentioned last time. We have searched the whole city but have never caught him. I didn't expect that you would catch him tonight..."

He was filled with fear, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

This murderer has already killed two people, and he is also a warrior with extremely cruel methods. He didn't expect that he was still hiding in the city. What frightened him even more was that this murderer actually came to his house tonight...

This is going to massacre his entire family!

"Brother-in-law, will it be okay if I kill someone?"

Luo Zijun suddenly asked.

Luo Jiaorong rushed over from the corridor in a hurry and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhengshan, will Zijun be arrested?"

Li Zhengshan came back to his senses from fear and shock, sheathed his knife, and said in a serious tone: "No."

Then he explained, "According to the laws of Daliang, anyone who breaks into a house at night can be killed on the spot by the owner without any legal responsibility. Moreover, this man is a murderer who has already killed someone and is wanted by the whole city. If Zijun kills him, not only will he not be punished, but he will also receive a reward from the government."

Luo Jiaorong finally came to her senses after hearing this. She grabbed his arm with trembling hands and cried, "Zhengshan, you...you should quit this job as soon as possible..."

It was obvious that the murderer came for him and wanted revenge.

Li Zhengshan looked pale, looking down at the body on the ground, and then at the siblings. This time, he did not hesitate at all and said in a deep voice, "As soon as the sun rises, I will go to the government office and resign from this job."

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he said apologetically, "Madam, Zijun, I am too selfish, I am sorry for you... I should have quit this job long ago..."

Luo Jiaorong was still trembling all over, her eyes full of fear.

Seeing that her husband seemed to have really made up his mind this time, she wiped away her tears, held his hand and comforted him, "Zhengshan, you are a warrior, you can go to a wealthy family to be a guard, it will definitely be safer than working in the government office, and you can earn more money. If that doesn't work, you can go and help people look after the place and deliver goods, that's also okay."

Li Zhengshan looked heavy-hearted: "Madam, rest assured, I will definitely quit this job this time and will never let you get implicated again."

Luo Zijun said: "It is indeed a good idea for my brother-in-law to be a guard for a wealthy family. Those wealthy families are willing to spend money. My brother-in-law is not bad in martial arts, and he is loyal and honest. I believe that many wealthy families will like him."

Li Zhengshan reached out and patted his shoulder. He wanted to say something, but his lips trembled and he didn't say it. Then he suddenly hugged him tightly in his arms and said in a choked voice: "Zijun, I'm lucky to have you... I'm lucky to have you at home..."

"My sister is also very good."

Luo Zijun looked at her sister who was wiping her tears and said, "When my sister heard the noise outside, she immediately took a knife, pushed open the window, and yelled angrily, looking very imposing. If I were a thief, I would have been scared away directly."

"puff……"

Luo Jiaorong patted him with tears in her eyes and a smile.

Li Zhengshan suddenly let go of him and said, "Zijun, how about letting your brother-in-law take responsibility for this murder?"

Luo Zijun looked at him.

Li Zhengshan explained: "It's not that my brother-in-law wants to take credit for you, but it would be troublesome if he said you killed the man. After all, you are just a scholar, and the murderer is a second-level warrior. If you tell others, I'm afraid they will take you to the government office for various questioning and inspections. And..."

At this point, he looked solemn and lowered his voice suddenly: "Brother-in-law doesn't want you to become famous so quickly. You can study, but practicing martial arts..."

Luo Jiaorong suddenly remembered something, her face turned pale, and she said hurriedly: "Yes, Zijun, let your brother-in-law take the responsibility for this murder, you can't admit it."

Luo Zijun looked at the two of them carefully, and both of them seemed to be evasive in their gazes.

He did not ask immediately, but nodded and said, "Listen to my brother-in-law. But will this matter be discovered?"

Li Zhengshan took a look in the yard and said, "It's okay, the time is right. Tell me the whole process again, and I will say that I was walking fast on the way home and ran into this murderer... If it was someone else, the government office might investigate carefully, but this person is a wanted murderer by the government office, so if he is killed, no one will investigate carefully."

"Let's take a step back. Even if it turns out that I didn't kill the person, it won't have any impact. I'm planning to quit this job anyway, so it won't have any impact on you."

Only then did Luo Zijun feel relieved.

The two of them discussed carefully in the yard for a while and finalized some details to avoid any mistakes in the process.

"Brother-in-law, there is also this purse, which seems to be a storage bag..."

Luo Zijun suddenly remembered the black purse and quickly took it out.

"Storage bags?"

Li Zhengshan was stunned, and quickly took it to check, and was immediately surprised and happy: "It is indeed a storage bag!"

Then he asked doubtfully, "That's not right. When the criminal escaped, he didn't have anything else on him. Could it be that he just robbed it during this period?"

"Brother-in-law, do I need to hand it in?"

Luo Zijun was a little reluctant.

Li Zhengshan pondered for a moment, then gave it back to him, saying, "No need. When this criminal escaped, we searched him and found that he was clean and had nothing on him. You can keep this thing for yourself."

Luo Zijun felt relieved and asked, "Does my brother-in-law know how to use it?"

Li Zhengshan nodded, looked at the sky, and found that it was already dawn. He hurriedly said, "Let's talk about it when I come back. I'm going to the government office to report the case first, otherwise the time will not be right."

After saying that, he went over, opened the door, and left in a hurry.

It was already dawn.

The corpses and heads on the ground looked more and more terrifying.

Luo Jiaorong didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly said, "Zijun, let's go into the house and change clothes."

The three of them went into the house immediately.

Luo Zijun returned to the room and changed into a new set of clothes with the help of Xiaohuan.

He came to the table and picked up the black purse.

Thinking about the frightened expressions and evasive eyes of his sister and brother-in-law, he said to himself: It seems that the enemy is indeed in Lin'an City, and may be watching us at any time.

"You can study, but you can't practice martial arts?"

He clenched the purse in his hand, looked at the drizzling spring rain outside the window, and his thoughts became more and more firm.

Soon, people from the yamen arrived.

With the tacit cooperation of the family of four, the body was quickly taken away and the scene was only hastily investigated.

Li Zhengshan followed and left.

Luo Zijun took the initiative to go to the courtyard and clean up the bloodstains and blood-stained soil on the ground that had not yet been washed away by the rain.

Luo Jiaorong stood in the corridor, silently looking at his back, her eyes moist.

Her younger brother has grown up and become a real man, a man who can stand up and protect his family.

All these years of hard work have finally paid off.

Although it was daybreak, the light was still dim.

The sky was overcast and gloomy.

The continuous drizzle nourishes the earth, waters the farmland, kisses the flowers and plants, and nourishes all things.

But many people in the city don't like it.

Vendors cannot go out on the streets, tourists cannot go out, and it is very inconvenient for those who want to go out to drink, drink tea, or listen to folk music.

The girls in the brothel also had sad faces and cursed God.

It was really a situation of joy on one side and sorrow on the other. Luo Zijun didn't care, opened an oil-paper umbrella and prepared to go out.

You don't have to go to the academy if it rains.

But you have to practice martial arts.

What happened last night made him more eager to practice martial arts and become stronger as soon as possible.

If senior sister hadn't given them the poison last night, and if the murderer had been more powerful, the three of them would have been killed by the sword by now.

"Zijun, are you still going to the academy when it's raining? Be careful not to get sick."

Luo Jiaorong said with some concern.

Luo Zijun waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister. I'm in good health. And you forgot that I'm a doctor."

Luo Jiaorong rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "Zijun, ask Ling'er to come to our house for dinner tonight."

If it weren't for the medicine I gave you last night...

"Sister, aren't we going to Sun Yaner's house for dinner tonight?"

Luo Zijun stopped.

Luo Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, then she remembered and immediately frowned: "Who cares."

Luo Zijun said quickly: "Then sister will go to the Sun family to refuse now, I am too lazy to go anyway."

Luo Jiaorong frowned, thought carefully, and said: "Okay, you go to the academy first, and I will discuss it with your brother-in-law when he comes back."

"gone!"

Luo Zijun waved and walked out.

He planned to go directly to the martial arts gym.

But suddenly I looked up at the sky, then at the umbrella in my hand, and the scene of Xu Xian and White Snake holding umbrellas and strolling in the West Lake on a rainy day involuntarily popped up in my mind.

There are also wupeng boats.

The scene of two people, no, three people, hiding from the rain and touring the West Lake in a boat.

I suddenly felt uneasy.

He immediately changed direction and decided to go and take a look.

When passing Bao'an Hall.

He thought about it and walked in directly.

Su Qingling was wearing a plain white dress and was sitting quietly behind the counter in a daze.

I saw her two white and beautiful hands supporting her chin, with her slender fingers placed on both sides of her cheeks, like blooming petals, and her beautiful and delicate cheeks were like pink stamens wrapped in petals, and against the backdrop of the flowers in the vase next to her, she looked even more pink and attractive.

"Senior Sister, are you picking flowers again?"

Luo Zijun walked into the shop and said.

Su Qingling raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then said expressionlessly, "I didn't pick you."

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered what the girl meant.

He was originally in Hanshan Temple, but was abducted by a female flower thief.

“This flower smells so good.”

Luo Zijun walked to the counter, stretched out his fingers, and fiddled with the petals in the vase.

The petals still have crystal clear water droplets on them, making them look particularly pink.

"As fragrant as Senior Sister, and as pretty and tender as her."

He naturally flattered the master.

When Su Qingling saw him poking the petals with his fingers, she immediately took the vase away and placed it far away so that he couldn't touch it. Then she looked at him coldly with her beautiful eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

If someone comes to flatter me so early in the morning, he must have something to ask for.

Luo Zijun was a little embarrassed.

The poison had been used up last night, and it was very effective and could save lives. So when he came here today, he naturally wanted to ask this girl for a few more packets.

"Senior Sister, where are the remaining poisons from last time?"

It's better to speak frankly in front of this girl.

"threw."

Su Qingling said coldly.

Luo Zijun naturally didn't believe that she would throw it away.

This girl is very good at managing the household and saving money. She would haggle with him for a long time even over a penny. How could she throw away the poison she had worked so hard to make?

"Give me a few more packs, I'm done."

Luo Zijun stretched out his hand and asked for it directly.

As if he felt embarrassed again, he said, "How about you pinch my butt again and I won't fight back?"

How is this a bit like selling yourself for medicine?

No, it's selling your butt in exchange for medicine.

Su Qingling ignored him, took out the nail polish, stretched out her fair and slender fingers, and began to paint her nails with a cold expression on her face.

"Sister, let me help you apply it."

Luo Zijun said attentively.

Su Qingling paused, looked at him with her beautiful eyes for a few seconds, then reached out and handed him the nail polish, saying coldly: "If you apply it on your fingers, humph."

Luo Zijun immediately took the nail polish and said, "Don't worry, I'm very stable."

Who knew that the words had just been spoken.

He waved his hand, and the small brush with pink nail polish immediately swept over the white skin above her nails.

Su Qingling narrowed her eyes.

Luo Zijun hurriedly said: "Senior Sister, calm down, I will definitely keep my composure this time!"

He immediately steadied his hands and began to apply it gently.

This girl has slender fingers and her nails are pink and tender, like a perfect piece of art carved in detail. It is really beautiful.

Even without any makeup, it is absolutely stunning.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong afterwards.

"Senior sister, the other hand."

After successfully painting one hand, Luo Zijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingling raised her painted slender jade fingers, looked at them carefully for a while, then stretched out her other jade hand.

Luo Zijun continued to apply it carefully.

Soon, the nails of the second hand were also painted.

The painted nails look pink and tender, shiny and even more beautiful against the white hands.

Luo Zijun praised sincerely: "Senior sister, your hands are so beautiful."

This is really not flattery.

Su Qingling glanced at him indifferently and withdrew her hand. When he put the nail polish away, she suddenly asked coldly, "Do you want to help me paint my toenails?"

"what???"

Luo Zijun was stunned.

Su Qingling said expressionlessly: "My toenails are more beautiful."

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment, and before he could reply, a pink fist suddenly attacked him with a "bang", hitting his eye.

"Let you be horny!"

"..."

Luo Zijun covered his eyes and clenched his fists.

Su Qingling looked at him coldly without dodging.

Luo Zijun unclenched his fist again and said, "Senior Sister, how am I perverted? I haven't even said anything yet. I was going to refuse."

Su Qingling ignored him and took out a few packets of medicine from under the counter and placed them in front of him.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

After seeing the medicine, Luo Zijun immediately loosened his fist which he had just clenched.

Forget it.

It is better to sell eyes than to sell your ass.

Compared to pinching the buttocks, hitting the eyes is better.

At least there's no bleeding.

Luo Zijun carefully put away the poison, rubbed his eyes that had been hit, and waved, "Senior Sister, see you tonight."

Su Qingling looked at his dark eyes and the humble and flattering expression on his face, and her brows moved slightly.

After his figure disappeared outside the door, she was stunned for a while, then she lowered her head and looked at her hands and her shiny pink nails.
