Volume 11 Seven Weapons: The Farewell Hook Chapter 306: Substituting the Day
March 28th.
The story of a famous sword came to an end.
Mr. Lan may have wanted to retire a long time ago. He had no intention of traveling the world with his "Divine Eyes and Divine Sword" anymore, so he deliberately used Su Weiyun's hand to send off his fame for the rest of his life.
Most people in the world are burdened by fame and fortune, but how many of them can truly let go?
Su Weiyun held the book "Secret Sword Skills" in his hand and remained silent for a long time. This would probably be the last memorial that Mr. Lan left to the world.
Sword energy skills.
In ancient legends, when a sword is born, sword energy will soar into the sky and shoot directly between the two stars of Dou Niu, illuminating the world and making it known to all mortals.
But that kind of sword energy is nothing more than a mysterious destiny. Only the wise who know how to observe the stars and the sky can understand its guidance and find the sword.
However, the sword energy that Mr. Lan refers to is by no means a kind of luck, but an external form of true energy.
A unique sign of a master who has achieved success in internal power cultivation is the ability to use true qi flexibly and freely.
There are many different forms of Qi application:
Gui Dongjing's Thirteen Guardians practiced the body-protection technique by attaching the true Qi to the body surface, making it difficult for swords and spears to penetrate.
Su Weiyun had also witnessed Lin Taiping's mother, Madam Wei, using her true qi to capture dragons and cranes, and to take objects from a distance;
There are also masters who can use their true qi to press acupoints and injure people with a flick of their sleeves;
Flying leaves and plucking flowers can all hurt people. This is the power of true Qi. There is even a legend about a peerless martial art called "Six Meridians Divine Sword", which uses Qi to transform into form and thousands of swords are fired at the same time!
Su Weiyun also knew how to use sword energy - when he was fighting with Zhuo Donglai, if he hadn't used the eleventh move of the Thirteen Deadly Swords, "Xiaoxiao Deadly", with sword energy flying across the sky and whistling down, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the "Purple Energy Coming from the East".
But the sword energy used by Mr. Lan is different. That kind of sword energy is used to bless the weapon, sharpen its blade, sharpen its edge, and sharpen the sword body.
That was probably in ancient times when sword-making technology was still very low and famous swords were hard to come by. Sword masters at that time used this ancient method to strengthen the sword blade in order to kill the enemy.
Su Weiyun thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.
"It's getting late, we should go back."
…
March 29th.
Small town.
When the escort silver was delivered the day before, Zhao Zheng sent someone to tell Su Weiyun that the "Golden Medal of Immunity from Death" had been sent over overnight by the Six Gates at an expedited rate of 600 miles, and that he only needed to wait for another day.
Su Weiyun stayed in the inn and waited for two days, but the golden medal of immunity from death had not been delivered yet.
Yang Zheng never came to see him again, which made Su Weiyun feel a little strange.
But he had just acquired a unique skill, and when he studied it carefully, he didn't feel the time was long, so he just waited patiently.
dusk.
It was another evening, the sky was gloomy, as if a heavy rain was about to come.
Boom, boom!
Someone knocked on the door twice quickly, looking very anxious.
Su Weiyun opened the door and standing outside was Yang Zheng.
As soon as Yang Zheng saw Su Weiyun, he asked, "Where is the silver?"
"Silver?" Su Weiyun asked, "What silver?"
After Yang Zheng asked that question, he stared closely at Su Weiyun's eyes. He knew that some people could pretend to be calm, but it was difficult to hide their eyes.
Su Weiyun's slightly confused look really looked like she knew nothing.
Yang Zheng then sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "The silver is gone, one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver are all gone!"
Su Weiyun was startled, and then asked, "Why is it gone? Isn't it possible that all the silver was kept in the county government office? Who could have moved it away without making any noise?"
Yang Zheng said: "It's not about moving things, it's that all the 1.8 million taels of silver were swapped. The boxes were filled with silver on the surface, but they were filled with stones inside!"
One million eight hundred thousand taels of official silver were cleverly replaced by someone, which is definitely not a trivial matter.
It might even alarm the imperial court and reach the ears of the emperor!
That's why Yang Zheng is so anxious.
Su Weiyun understood what he meant, and asked, "Do you mean to suspect that it was me who did it?"
Yang Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible that I dropped the bag myself."
Su Weiyun frowned and said, "The silver was shipped out of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency and passed through the hands of the escort, Ni Ba, me, and the Yamen Constable. You shouldn't just suspect me."
Yang Zheng said seriously: "It's not that I doubt you. I have seen what kind of person you are. Of course I won't doubt you."
"It's Boss Zhao. He said you are the most suspicious and he has already started to transfer people from the Six Gates to arrest you!"
Su Weiyun is of course the biggest suspect.
The people from the Six Gates would definitely not suspect themselves, but the other two gangs that were worthy of suspicion - the escorts from the Central Plains Escort Agency and the gang of bandits led by Master Ni Ba, some of them died and some escaped, without gaining any benefit, and instead lost a lot of manpower, it was really hard to suspect them.
Su Weiyun asked, "Is the Zhao Touer you are talking about the Eagle Claw Zhao Zheng?"
Yang Zheng said: "That's him!"
Su Weiyun said slowly: "It was he who took the initiative to find me and asked me to go on this escort mission."
Yang Zheng also fell into deep thought, and after a long while he said, "Since he doesn't trust you, he shouldn't have let you come."
Su Weiyun said, "I have never had any relationship with the Six Gates. It was a bit strange for him to invite me here."
As he spoke, the door was kicked open with a bang.
"I invited Master Su here because I admire his martial arts and character, but I was also deeply surprised by what happened."
The person who came in was none other than "Eagle Claw" Zhao Zheng.
Behind him were a large group of constables and two chivalrous knights in gorgeous costumes.
"But as long as Master Su really has nothing to do with this matter, we will definitely give you justice." Zhao Zheng changed the subject: "But before that, Master Su, please come with us."
Su Weiyun still sat there calmly.
"Where do you want me to go with you?"
Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Of course it is the Heavenly Prison, but don't worry, although you are in the Heavenly Prison, we will definitely treat you with the best treatment."
He smiled like a hunter who had set a trap and caught a fox.
Su Weiyun said: "I didn't do this."
Zhao Zhengdao: "We will investigate and we will never make a wrong arrest or wrongly accuse any good person!"
When he first came to see Su Weiyun, what he said was completely different from what he said now, as if he had become a completely different person.
Su Weiyun slowly picked up the teapot, slowly placed the cup, and slowly poured out the water.
Then he slowly drank a cup of tea and said, "I can sit here and wait for you to find out."
Zhao Zheng sneered: "That won't work. How can we guarantee that you won't run away?"
Su Weiyun said: "If you don't believe me, how can I believe you? If I die inexplicably after entering the prison, wouldn't it be too stupid and make people laugh?"
Zhao Zhengdao: "I represent the Six Gates and the imperial court. It's not up to you to believe it or not!"
Yang Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "As long as I am alive, I will never allow anyone to kill people in the Heavenly Prison!"
Su Weiyun said coldly: "What if you die?"
Yang Zheng stopped talking, he was speechless.
Outside the house, dark clouds rolled in.
Suddenly, rain fell from the sky, hitting the paper windows and making a continuous noise.
The sky suddenly became very dark, and the light in the room became even scarcer.
Zhao Zheng took out a pair of iron gloves from his arms, put them on carefully, and threatened: "I'm not the only one here today!"
Su Weiyun asked: "Who else?"
Zhao Zheng pointed at the two people standing behind him.
"Kuaidao Fangcheng has come here to avenge his uncle."
Fang Cheng is Wan Junwu's disciple and Xu Tong's nephew.
The other man, who was dressed more gorgeously and more conspicuously, clasped his fists and said, "Wang Zhenfei, the BMW Golden Knife, is honored to meet the hero Su. Our small escort agency is operating at a meager rate, so please return the money you paid for the escort!"
——"Eagle Claw" Zhao Zheng, "Quick Knife" Fang Cheng, and "Chief Escort of Central Plains Escort Agency" Wang Zhenfei, do they think that these three people alone are enough to deal with Su Weiyun?
Su Weiyun tapped the table with his fingers and said, "It turns out to be Wang Biaotou. I have heard of your name for a long time!"
Wang Zhenfei said, "I dare not. Please come with us, Master Su. No matter who exchanged the silver for the dart, our goal is to recover it, not to wrongly accuse a good person."
He spoke with great confidence and righteousness.
Su Weiyun suddenly said, "It's not impossible for you to leave. But I have a condition."
Zhao Zheng smiled and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Su Weiyun asked: "Am I qualified to negotiate terms ?"
Zhao Zhengdao: "Of course, I can give this privilege to Hero Su."
He asked Yang Zheng to step aside, and he sat down, took out three cups, poured a cup of tea into each, and said, "We can slowly discuss the terms."
Wang Zhenfei and Fang Cheng also sat down.
There was a small table in the room, but four people were sitting at it.
Zhao Zheng, Fang Cheng and Wang Zhenfei stood in three groups, forming a triangle to keep a close eye on Su Weiyun.
The three of them were so close to him that it would only take a blink of an eye for them to take action.
At the door, a group of constables blocked it.
Su Weiyun didn't say anything, but took another sip of tea.
Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Drinking water can relieve tension. Hero Su might as well drink a few more cups."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Wang Zhenfei also drank the tea.
They all looked relaxed, confident and at ease.
Fang Cheng did not move, just held down his knife.
Su Weiyun sighed and asked, "Brother Fang, why don't you drink tea?"
Fang Cheng said: "I'm not here for tea."
He was here to kill people, and everyone could see that.
Su Weiyun actually gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Good, I didn't expect you to be more patient than your uncle!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Zheng and Wang Zhenfei realized something was wrong. They stood up suddenly and then slowly fell down again.
“The tea is poisonous!”
Fang Cheng's face turned pale and suddenly became very ugly, because Su Weiyun and Yang Zheng had both drunk that tea, but both of them were fine.
There were many experienced detectives in the scene who had been handling cases for many years, but they could not figure out how Su Weiyun had poisoned the victim.
Su Weiyun stood up, touched the sword with his left hand, and asked, "Since you are not here for tea, why don't you leave?"
Fang Cheng said: "I came to see you die!"
The veins on his hand holding the steel knife were bulging, and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.
Su Weiyun shouted sternly: "Then why don't you draw your sword?!"
Fang Cheng said: "Someone will kill you!"
"who?"
There was no need to ask this question, Su Weiyun had already seen the person coming.
The person who came was Di Qinglin!
