C109

Meng Kang could only calm his heart and walk on the small town's limestone street.

There weren't many people in the town, and there were only a few dozen shops open on the street.

From the looks of it, there was only one way out, if the Taoist Master Xue He wanted to escape, he could only do so through the official road. However, that way, he would be easily discovered, so there was a high chance that he could hide in the little town.

A man with a broken arm was hiding in the small town. It wouldn't be too hard to find him.

Meng Kang thought.

The life in the town was probably too peaceful. Besides the merchants, there were very few outsiders who came.

Meng Kang had only walked a few steps on the street when a few naughty kids followed behind him out of curiosity. There were even two who were brave enough to grab a stone from the ground and throw it at him.

Meng Kang grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, scaring those mischievous kids, causing them to scatter, laughing and screaming in all directions.

Looking down, Meng Kang smiled. No wonder those little kids wanted to bully him.

After a night of chasing in the mountains, his clothes were tattered and his clothes were tattered. He was covered by tree branches and brambles, making it difficult for him to hide himself. He was even more eye-catching than a beggar.

Meng Kang suddenly thought that with his character, Taoist Master Xue He would probably be in an even more miserable state.

With a slight movement of his spiritual will, he brought out a small bag of gold pearls from the Longmen Peak.

Meng Kang poured the bag of golden beads into his hands and waved it at the mischievous kids.

Golden beads sparkled under the sun. The allure of gold was truly perfect.

The few mischievous kids gathered around, staring at the golden beads in Meng Kang's hands.

"Let me ask you a few questions. Anyone who answers correctly can receive a golden bean. Do you understand?"

Meng Kang cupped the golden pearl in his hand and smiled.

The few urchins nodded, staring unblinkingly at the golden pearl in his hand.

"You, what's your name?"

Meng Kang asked as he pointed to a fat boy.

"My name is Ming Hui!"

Little Fatso was a little nervous as he stammered out.

"Good!" I'll give you a golden bean! "

Meng Kang lightly flicked his finger and sent a gold pearl out.

As soon as the little fatty caught the golden pearl, he stuffed it into his mouth and bit down on it a few times. His face immediately filled with happiness.

When the other kids saw Ming Hui get the gold pearl so easily, they all started to shout and shout at the same time.

"My name is Da Niu!"

"I am called Wu Ren! "Five merciful moon cake's five merciful hearts!"

"Me too! I'm called Qiang Sheng, Liu Qiang Sheng!"

When Meng Kang heard how brave these children were, he immediately laughed.

"Good!" You all answered very well! But it's not your name I want to ask. Let me ask you guys, did you see someone like me enter the town? Like me, he has a hole in his clothes, and he only has one arm.

When Meng Kang asked this question, Wu Ren, Liu Qiang Sheng and Da Niu raised their hands high in the air.

"I'll say, I'll say! If you want to find a beggar, you have to go to a city temple, the uncles there are all ragged, some have no hands, some have no legs! "

Liu Qiansheng's ability to express himself was a bit stronger, so he quickly answered.

"Uh, I'm not a beggar! I am asking, did you see any outsiders enter the town this morning, about four hours ago? "

Meng Kang tried changing the method to ask.

When he asked this question, the other children were all speechless.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind Meng Kang.

Following him, someone shouted, "The kidnapper is here to kidnap our child! Everyone forward! Don't let him get away! "

Immediately after, a large group of people rushed out from the two sides of the street. There were males and females, old and young, and all of them surrounded Meng Kang in an instant.

"He said to give us beans!"

The little fatty Ming Hui was the first to flip the table, and at the same time that he handed Meng Kang over, he also secretly hid the gold pearl in his pocket.

"Hit him!" Kill him! The kidnappers will die a horrible death! "

When the crowd heard the little fatty say this, they instantly became excited.

Seeing the formation, Meng Kang frowned.

Once he got into a fight with these townspeople, he would be exposed, the Taoist Master Xue He would be in the dark, and he would be in the light, and the situation would be on the line.

"Wait! Calm down! Don't attack yet!" "Leave it to us, the county magistrate, to deal with it!"

Amongst the crowd, a few yamen runners walked over, and one of them shouted loudly.

The moment the bailiffs appeared, the townspeople all put away their men and stood aside to watch the show.

Meng Kang took a glance at them, these yamen runners were only at the middle level of malleolus, with a green cloth hat, steel knives hung from their waists, and at most, their ranks were only that of a commander-in-chief.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our Qingliu County? "

A bailiff sternly shouted.

"He's just a kidnapper. Lord Liu, don't nag him anymore. Let's talk after you cuffed him and brought him back to the yamen!"

Someone from the crowd shouted.

Meng Kang had an idea.

He reached into his bosom and felt around, then took out the military officer badge that Old Marshal Hong Qiankun had given him and threw it over to the bailiff.

"I am a military field officer, following a demon to your town, please cooperate!"

Meng Kang puffed up his chest, he had a natural awe-inspiring presence.

"Ah?" People from the military? "

"A field officer?"

The constables were shocked as they carefully inspected the identity token in their hands.

The surrounding townspeople were also in an uproar.

This beggar was actually a military field officer. When had anyone from a small place ever seen such a strange thing?

"I say, don't tell me you picked up this badge?"

One of the bailiffs asked hesitantly.

They were all staring at Meng Kang's expression, as long as the other party looked the least bit afraid, they would immediately take down this madman who pretended to be a field officer.

Since his identity was already exposed, Meng Kang was too lazy to bother with them. His entire body shook, and released the Qi of an Innate Ranker.

When the few yamen runners sensed that Meng Kang's cultivation was much higher than theirs, they immediately retreated two steps and cupped their hands in return.

With the identity of a military field officer and the strength of a Xiantian realm expert, this identity was unlikely to be fake!

"What can I do for you, sir?"

An older yamen runner asked in a deep voice.

Meng Kang had already made a plan in his heart, since he had already revealed his identity, he might as well do the opposite and use the power of the masses to uncover Taoist Master Xue He.

"Everyone listen up! This villain who escaped to your town is very cruel. Not only is he strong in martial arts, he also eats human blood. If we don't find him today, this town might not be safe in the future! "

Meng Kang purposely threatened.

"Ah?" That serious? Please enlighten us, my lord, and we will definitely cooperate! "

The yamen runners hurriedly replied.

Meng Kang nodded his head, and said: "I cut off one of this villain's arms yesterday, so everyone just need to find out who lost an arm in this town, and the new face that appeared today, and you will all be able to find him!"

"Good!" This was easy! "There are only a hundred or so people in our Qingliu Town. Whether it's those with broken arms or those with raw faces, they are all easy to identify!"

The old runner clasped his hands.

At this moment, a mournful scream came from the street of the town.

Meng Kang's heart trembled. Naturally, he thought that this miserable cry had something to do with the Taoist Master Xue He.

At the same time, the faces of the few yamen runners changed. They separated from the crowd and ran in the direction of the scream.

At the corner of the street, a brawny man dressed like a butcher passed out on a meat chopping board, holding his burnt arm.

The exclamation just now came from the aunt who came to buy meat.

"What's going on?"

the old runner asked sternly.

"I don't know!" I was going to buy some pork, but when I looked down, I saw the Pork Man lying on the ground, and he was missing an arm.

The woman who bought the vegetables said repeatedly with a pale face.

With a few clanging sounds, the yamen runners pulled out their waists one after another and surrounded the unconscious Pork Man.

Meng Kang frowned. This pork man fainted under the chopping board with one of his arms missing. It was very similar to the situation in Taoist Master Xue He that he described!

Could he be the Taoist Master Xue He?

"That's not right!"

Meng Kang quickly discovered that something was wrong. The butcher's arm on the ground had been burnt and not cut off by the blade. Others might not be able to see the wound, but Meng Kang knew it clearly.

"Even if it's a wound that was treated with flame power, it wouldn't be as rough and black as this person's wound. Someone obviously burned it off on purpose!"

Meng Kang thought.

At this moment, the crowd started buzzing again.

"Send people, send people, come quickly! Something had happened! Boss Li's arm is gone! "

A few people at the edge of the crowd shouted out anxiously.

When they separated to take a look, another person with a broken arm was carried to the officer on a stretcher.

This was Boss Li from the fruit shop next door. His wound was exactly the same as that of a butcher. He also had a missing arm, and the wound was charred black as if it had been burned.

Before the yamen runner could react, another cry of alarm could be heard from the distance. This time, even the sound of the large drum ringing out grievances could be heard.

The townspeople on the street fell into an inexplicable panic.

Soon, there were a total of eleven wounded people lined up in front of the county magistrate court. Each of them had a broken right arm, and their wounds were charred black and messy.

The most chilling one was the county magistrate of Clear Stream Town. Even his right arm had disappeared without a trace, and his wound was charred black.

There were a total of twelve injured people. All of them had lost their right arms, and half of them had fainted. Even now, they were still unconscious.

The remaining few who were still awake could not come to a conclusion under the questioning of the bailiffs.

Everyone's confession was originally fine, but suddenly they blacked out. When they woke up, they would look like this.

For a moment, everyone in the town was in danger. Even the yamen runners were scared out of their wits.

No one wanted to lose an arm out of thin air. It was too terrifying!

Could it be that the demon that snuck into the town specializes in eating humans' right arm?

The situation immediately became complicated, and it was extremely urgent. If they could not quickly find the Taoist Master Xue He, this small town would be immediately destroyed!

Who knew how many more he would harm?

Meng Kang closed his eyes and thought about it, something was not right!

It was unknown what method this Taoist Master Xue He used to lose the right arm of so many people. His goal must have been to confuse the people, to fish in troubled waters.

Now that there were so many people with broken arms in the town, if he had a reasonable identity, it would be even more difficult to find him with broken arms!

But how did he do it?

In less than an hour, so many people had been killed in the small town, and there were no clues at all!

Meng Kang could faintly feel that this was a special challenge!

He was the one in the shadows previously, while the Taoist Master Xue He was in the light. Now the situation was reversed.

If he was not careful, he might be taken advantage of!
