The constable beat them up, but they still insisted on their story.
Zhang Xiuyuan looked at them expressionlessly, then suddenly pulled out the knife from the constable's waist and swiftly placed it on the neck of one of the thugs.
The shining blade exudes a cold light and carries a faint chilling aura.
"You, you, you, what are you doing? You can't kill me." The originally tough man was frightened and began to stutter in an instant.
Song Wanxian and the two constables were also frightened. They never expected Zhang Xiuyuan to do this.
But they didn't stop.
"Whether I kill you or not depends on whether you tell the truth or not." Zhang Xiuyuan moved the blade a little closer to the man's neck, and the bright cold light on the blade instantly flashed into the man's eyes.
The man closed his eyes but still said stubbornly, "Humph, I don't believe you dare to kill me. If you kill me, you will also go to jail."
Zhang Xiuyuan stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled. He moved closer to the man and whispered in his ear, his voice steady and unhurried, as if chatting with him: "No, no, no, you're wrong. Who told you I'd go to jail if I killed you? Didn't the person who hired you tell you who I am?"
I'm Zhang Xiuyuan, the owner of Yipinzhai. Do you know the former Liu family? Do you know the former county magistrate? I'm friends with the former county magistrate, now the prefect of Tangzhou Prefecture. The Liu family offended me, and ended up having their property confiscated and imprisoned. How do you compare to the Liu family?
Also, why do you think the constables were here? Why didn't they stop me when I drew my sword? Because they were under orders from their superiors to turn a blind eye to my actions. Even if I killed you so brazenly in front of them, it would still be disguised as an accidental death. So, how about trying to see if I dare to kill you?
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't wait for him to come back, and moved the blade forward a little more, directly drawing a clear bloody mark on the man's neck.
The man looked at Zhang Xiuyuan, who was smiling, and felt the pain in his neck. He said slowly, "Madman, you are a madman."
Zhang Xiuyuan flicked the blade with his fingers, and the crisp sound made the man's legs almost go weak. He smiled like a cat teasing a mouse and said, "So, are you going to tell me or not?"
"I'll tell you everything."
Evil people are not scary, the scariest thing is meeting a madman.
It turned out that these two men were thugs from Renhe County, and they did this because someone had indeed hired them for money.
"...We don't know who that person is. He's dressed in black, his face covered, and he speaks in a sinister tone. We don't even know if he's a man or a woman. What I said is true. Please don't kill me."
In the end, the two were taken away by the police.
"Um, Yuanfulang, the knife..." The constable stammered before leaving.
Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly returned the knife to her.
The constable glanced at him and then left, secretly sighing in his heart: I didn't expect that Yuan Fulang, who looked cold and weak, unable to lift anything with his hands or shoulders, could threaten the gangsters without changing his expression. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Zhang Xiuyuan sat down, his hand holding the knife trembling slightly.
He looked calm, but he was still frightened. This was the first time in his life that he had hurt someone with a knife.
I couldn't recover for a while.
But he did not regret it. The person behind the scenes was too sinister and had to be found out quickly.
