Kangyun county.
Black armour Guard commander's residence.
In Wei Changqing's study, a black armour guard entered and presented an urgent report.
"It's the magic door again!"
Wei Changqing finished browsing the urgent newspaper. The expression on his face was dignified with a trace of helplessness.
At that time, he came to Kangyun county to avoid troubles. As a result, in recent days, troubles have been one after another.
"The local demons who appeared last time haven't investigated clearly what forces are behind them. Now there is another case of suspected demons..."
Although I feel upset, Wei Changqing also knows that this is a dangerous signal.
If the solution is not good, Kangyun county may be slowly infiltrated by the demon gate.
"Let other guard posts assist Fengliu Lane guard posts to carry out joint search and arrest... We command the pro guard and send some people to the city gate to strictly investigate the people out of the city."
Wei Changqing ordered his subordinates.
"Yes, Lord Commander."
Subordinates take orders.
……
At this time, Xu Ning and Tao Qingping had just reached Nie Xiaowei's mother's house.
Inside and outside the shabby courtyard, it has been completely occupied by the city guard.
Nie Xiaowei's parents and younger brother are shivering together at the moment.
When they heard that Nie Xiaowei might be a martial artist of the demon sect, several people's legs softened.
Although generally speaking, those who kill demons do not involve their families, they are really afraid that they will never see the sun again when they see the terrible momentum of these city guards in front of them.
"Captain!"
As soon as Xu Ning arrived, the city guard took the initiative to salute.
Seeing the big man, Nie Xiaowei's parents and brother, he was even more frightened.
"Have you got any useful clues?"
Xu Ning asked the leading city guard.
The leading city guard shook his head: "Sir, we have questioned Nie's family, but from their mouth, we don't get any clues. They don't know that NIE is a demon warrior or that Nie killed someone."
"Moreover, we searched here and found no evidence involving the demon gate."
After listening, Xu Ning glanced at Nie Xiaowei's family and asked, "are you sure you didn't lie?"
"This..."
The city guard thought there was no problem, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he said, "Sir, I'll take them back to the post for trial and reconfirm them."
"No, sir, we really don't know that little bitch is a demon warrior. If we knew, we would report it to you in advance!"
When the sharp mouthed woman heard that she was going to be interrogated, she immediately burst into tears and quickly explained.
Xu Ning and Tao Qingping frowned at the same time.
How can a mother call her daughter that?
"My lord..."
It seems that seeing the two people's questions, the leading city guard leaned in his ear: "that NIE is not their own daughter, she is an adopted daughter."
"Keep your mouth clean."
After hearing this, Tao Qingping went straight forward and pointed to the pointed woman with cold eyes.
"Yes... Yes, my lord..."
The sharp lady suddenly fell silent.
At this time, Tao Qingping was angry.
No wonder you let your daughter be a concubine for the old man. It turned out that she was not born at all.
Seeing Mrs. sharp mouth's mean look, Tao Qingping can also vaguely guess the injustice Nie Xiaowei suffered at home before.
"Qingping."
Xu Ning went to Tao Qingping and motioned him to calm down.
After all, Nie Xiaowei is suspected of being a martial artist of the demon sect. If Tao Qingping's gesture of helping reason is spread, it is easy to be misunderstood.
Tao Qingping was also aware of this problem at this time. He turned his head and didn't look at the people.
"Has Nie Xiaowei come back or contacted you since last night?"
Xu Ning looked at the three and asked in person.
"No, absolutely not!"
The three quickly explained.
"We haven't seen her since she married shopkeeper Yao."
The sharp mouthed woman continued to excuse herself.
Xu Ning carefully observed the expressions of the three people and found no abnormality for the time being.
"Does Nie Xiaowei have a childhood sweetheart?"
Xu Ning asked again.
The sharp mouthed woman was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xu Ning knew about it.
But she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only answer truthfully: "there is one... The man's name is Yang Yicheng, who lives in the house opposite us..."
"Qingping, let's go and have a look."
With that, Xu Ning walked to the opposite door, followed by Tao Qingping and two city guards.
"Open the door!"
A city guard patted the gate hard.
When the door opened, there was a haggard middle-aged woman.
When she saw Chengwei, she seemed a little timid, but she was not surprised.
When the city guard entered the opposite house just now, there was a big battle. She had seen it through the crack of the door.
"Is Yang Yicheng there?"
Xu Ning asked her.
"He is..."
The tone of the middle-aged woman was also timid.
"Call him out."
Xu Ning and others walked into the yard and didn't enter the house.
The middle-aged woman hesitated and finally answered.
After a while, she helped a pale, frail young man out.
The young man was bony and bookish.
When he saw the black armor on Xu Ning and Tao Qingping, his expression obviously changed.
This change was keenly noticed by Xu Ning.
"Are you familiar with Nie Xiaowei?"
Xu Ning came straight to the point.
"Not familiar."
Yang Yicheng's answer was very straightforward: "how can I know someone's wife... Well, my concubine?"
Xu Ning's eyes narrowed: "to be honest, I have no time to take care of your emotions."
Yang Yicheng seems to be angry about Nie Xiaowei's marriage as a concubine, but Xu Ning always feels a little deliberate.
"We are childhood playmates..."
Seeing the chill in Xu Ning's tone, Yang Yicheng also reinterpreted: "later, when I grew up, I really fell in love, but her parents thought I was not a lover, so they broke contact..."
"Disconnected?"
Xu Ning suddenly smiled, then his smile converged and stared at Yang Yicheng: "another lie, I'll kill you as an accomplice of the demon gate."
Yang Yicheng was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"Boy, be honest in front of our captain!"
The old city guard who followed him stepped forward: "Nie's involved in the magic door. We are investigating. If you don't cooperate, we can only treat you as an accomplice of the magic door!"
As soon as the middle-aged woman nearby listened, she immediately panicked: "translated into, you cooperate with all adults!"
"Again, when was the last time you saw Nie Xiaowei?"
Xu Ning asked again.
Yang Yicheng is under the pressure of Xu Ning. He seems to be suffering in his heart.
"Two months ago... I seldom went out because of my health. The last time I saw her was two months ago."
A bead of sweat appeared on Yang Yicheng's forehead.
Xu Ning listened, sneered, stretched out his fingers and put a little on Yang Yicheng's shoulder.
"Ah!"
Yang Yicheng suddenly felt a needle pricking pain near his shoulder, and the whole person almost fainted.
Xu Ning just shot him with strength.
"Take him away. This man is an accomplice of the magic gate. He will be killed at the entrance of the vegetable market in our lane tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xu Ning turned and left directly.
The two city guards looked at each other and saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes.
From beginning to end, they didn't see what was wrong with Yang's translation.
Is it because the captain can't find Nie Xiaowei and wants to find a scapegoat to relieve the pressure?
But despite their doubts, they still obey orders.
Not only the two of them, Tao Qingping also looked puzzled.
He took two quick steps to keep up with Xu Ning.
"My Lord, wronged!"
At this time, the middle-aged woman quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
But the two city guards ignored her and directly translated Yang into a frame and went out.
Yang Yicheng, who was held by two city guards, said nothing and looked resolute.
"Xu Ning, are you..."
At this time, Tao Qingping followed Xu Ning's footsteps and obviously disagreed with his approach.
"Why, don't you understand?"
Xu Ning asked Tao Qingping a question.
"I don't understand." Tao Qingping shook his head. "Is he really an accomplice of the devil gate?"
"No."
Xu Ning replied, "but he lied."
"Lie?"
Tao Qingping raised his eyebrows.
"The last time he saw Nie Xiaowei was not two months ago."
Xu Ning's tone was very firm.
