Chapter 16 Sword Control

"I, I, I..."

For a moment, Cheng Yong became hesitant in his speech, not knowing how to answer. He was not stupid, so how could he not hear the threat in Liu Ankang's words.

Although Liu Ankang is just a servant, there is an old saying:
A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister!
Not to mention that he was just a small village chief, even if he was the county magistrate.

Not everyone can afford to provoke Liu Ankang!

Seeing Cheng Yong hesitating and unable to speak clearly, Liu Ankang's face was full of arrogance. He snorted coldly: "Village Chief Cheng, why don't you say something? I want to ask you, is this person my follower?"

"Is he your follower? Don't you know it in your heart?"

Just when Cheng Yong was extremely panicked and didn't know what to do, a sneer sounded, and then Guo Xuesong walked over from a small path and said, "Village Chief, I will take care of anything for you, just tell the truth!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yong's face lit up with joy and heaved a sigh of relief. After calling out "Scholar", he couldn't wait to say:

"Butler Liu, when I brought you to the Wang family yesterday, this person was beside you. If he was not your follower, why was he by your side?"

"Good, good, good..."

Liu Ankang looked at Cheng Yong deeply, his eyes full of resentment, and then looked at Guo Xuesong and said:

"You said this man was my follower, and I don't refute it. Since you said he was the murderer and wanted to kill someone, I wonder if he succeeded or found the murder weapon?"

"He broke into my daughter-in-law's room in the middle of the night. If he's not a bad guy, could he be a good guy?"

Wang Lin said coldly: "I didn't find the murder weapon, but I found this!"

As he spoke, Wang Lin took out a ceramic bottle from his arms. It was something he found from the black-clothed man's palm when he examined his body.

Liu Ankang sneered, "Master Wang, you are such a joke. You don't use sharp weapons to kill people, but ceramic bottles? Are you trying to smash the person to death with the ceramic bottle?"

"Of course, I won't use a ceramic bottle to kill someone, but I will use the poison in the ceramic bottle!"

Wang Lin's face was gloomy. Not long ago, he found this ceramic bottle from the body of the man in black. Seeing that there were pills inside, he went to find Doctor Wei and learned from him what the poison in the ceramic bottle was.

It's called cicada medicine, and it's a chronic poison with an incubation period of nearly one or two months. Once it breaks out, there is no cure. Unless you are a medical genius, it will be difficult to find the cause of death, and it will be considered an ordinary death.

The price is very expensive. To put it bluntly, the life of an ordinary person may not be worth a piece of cicada medicine.

Liu Ankang sneered, "Master Wang, if you say it's poison, then it's poison? Who knows, is this something you deliberately did to frame me?"

Wang Lin ignored Liu Ankang's shouting and said, "Captain Mao, please do the justice for our Wang family and arrest this murderer!"

"Brother, please come with us to the government office!"

Mao and Dao.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you call me your brother?"

Liu Ankang shouted coldly, his face full of contempt, completely ignoring Mao He's angry look. Seeing that he drew out the sword in his hand, he showed no sign of panic at all, and said, "I am the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now I am also the steward of the Tanhua Lang Mansion. How dare you arrest me without any evidence?"

"I, I, I..."

Although Mao He was very angry, what Liu Ankang said was right. Not to mention that there was no evidence, even if there was evidence, he did not have the courage to arrest the bastard Liu Ankang before other big shots spoke.

Who can blame him for coming from the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"Master Wang, it's getting late. Please bring Madam Wang with us to the capital. My master will be getting married to the third place winner in the imperial examination soon, and we need two elders..."

Before Liu Ankang finished speaking, he saw Wang Lin's face full of anger that was difficult to conceal. He was about to say something, but Wang Lin spoke first:
"Master Wang, if you don't agree, I don't know what I will do!" As he spoke, Liu Ankang glanced in the direction of Liu Dongzhu's bedroom.

Although the words were not clearly stated, even a three-year-old child would understand what they meant.

Wang Lin said angrily: "You are threatening me!"

Guo Xuesong was also furious, "How dare you!"

"Master Wang, you are joking. I just like to tell the truth. How could I threaten you, Master Wang?"

Liu Ankang smiled and said, "Besides, Master Wang, you are the father of the top scholar. How dare I threaten you?"

"But you want to kill my disciple?"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, causing Liu Ankang to tremble all over. He felt as if he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cellar. Turning his head, he saw a Taoist priest with a long sword on his back walking towards him not far away.

You can tell at first glance that he is up to no good!
next moment.

The warriors around Liu Ankang quickly drew out their swords and stood in front of Liu Ankang to prevent the Taoist from approaching.

At this moment, Liu Ankang felt safe in his heart. He frowned and said, "Master, I don't even know you. How could you possibly harm your disciple's life?"

"My disciple Wang is safe!"

The person who came was Taoist Xuanqing. With a "clang" sound, the long sword on his back was unsheathed by itself, and he was about to attack.

Liu Ankang felt uneasy and shouted hastily, "I am a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How dare you hurt me..."

"Pfft!"

Before Liu Ankang could finish his words, he vaguely saw a streak of light flashing out, and then he felt a pain all over his body. When he reacted, a long sword pierced through his body. He said resentfully: "My master will not let you go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ankang fell to the ground with a "thump".

When he was dying, in addition to the resentment towards Taoist Xuanqing, he also felt more resentment towards the warriors who protected him and stood in front of him.

With so many people around, he was still killed by Taoist Xuanqing!

"Ding! With the help of your pet's eye, you witnessed Taoist Xuanqing killing people with his sword. You gain the skill: Sword Control [Beginner's Guide]!"

A mechanical and cold voice sounded in his mind, but Wang Ping'an's emotions did not fluctuate at all. It was not that he did not like the sword-wielding technique, but he was frightened by Taoist Xuanqing's boldness.

Liu Ankang came from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even with irrefutable evidence, no constable dared to arrest him. But Taoist Xuanqing could kill him without hesitation.

One can imagine how much trouble this caused.

Wang Ping'an naturally understood why Taoist Xuanqing did this, and he was deeply moved.

"My master really cares about me. He knew I was almost killed, and even killed the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't care what kind of trouble it would bring!"

Wang Ping'an sighed to himself.

After this experience, Wang Ping'an has decided from the bottom of his heart to take Taoist Xuanqing as his master.

No matter what his abilities are, based on how good he is to me, I would not suffer any loss if I were to become his disciple.

Teachers, preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts!
