Chapter 140: Silent Wait-and-See, Rhetorical Question

At that time, Fang Haikuo had already carried out some corpses with some disciples of Wangtianmen, some of the corpses on the top were fresh, and the people had not been dead for a long time, but as for the bottom, it was estimated that they had been dead for a while, they only carried out a few recognizable corpses and put them outside, Lu Ming and Lu Feiyang walked over to take a look, although they were shocked in their hearts, they still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Dad, this must have been done by that poisonous scorpion! This vicious and vicious murderer has secretly killed so many lives by unscrupulous means to achieve his goals!" Lu Feiyang took the opportunity to say to Lu Ming, and Fang Haikuo happened to hear this, and immediately raised his head to look at them, and at the same time walked in front of the old city lord of Lu Ming, "Fang Haikuo, the deputy head of the Qilin Gate, has seen the old city lord. ”

"It turned out to be the deputy head of the Qilin Gate, long Yang, long Yang. Lu Ming responded with a smile, but Fang Haikuo didn't say anything polite to him, but talked about these corpses, "Old City Lord, there are too many corpses piled up in the room of this secret room, we don't have enough manpower, we can't clean it up completely for a while, and I hope that the old city lord can send more people to help us." ”

"The deputy head is polite, where is this, since this matter happened in my Hanyang City City Lord's Mansion, then of course I am duty-bound, deputy head, please wait, I will send someone." With that, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Feiyang, who immediately nodded, turned around and left the place, and went out to gather a bunch of guards to go to the secret room to carry the corpse.

Tonight is destined to be unable to sleep, many people gathered in the palace of the lord of Hanyang City for a while, and it took half a day for the southern sky and cold smoke and dust to return to Gangneung City, when they went back, the sky had begun to white, the morning light was about to break, and the two of them were full of fatigue, and they entered the city after being confirmed by the night vigil guards outside Gangneung City.

When he went to the city lord's mansion, the rooster Fang Ming, everyone began to work in the courtyard, Nankong Qian saw that Han Yanchen looked tired, so he asked him to rest first, and he went to Gu Qing first, Han Yanchen did not refuse, he was indeed a little tired after not sleeping well in the past few days, plus he was holding the city order of Hanyang City in his hand at this time, and there would be a risk of being discovered at any time, he had to find a time to hand over the city order to Emperor Ji Xueyu, otherwise it would not be good to expose his identity at that time! So he said hello to Nankong Qian and went back to the room first.

Nan Kong Qian first asked Gu Qing to go to Tongyu, and then stayed in Nan Fengzhu's study and waited, not long after, Nan Fengzhu hurriedly came to the study, with a frowning look, seeing him arrive, Nan Kong Qian immediately stepped forward to salute, "Dad!"

"I heard that you rushed back overnight, did something happen to Hanyang City?" Nan Fengzhu asked Nan Kongqian while walking to the front position and sitting down, his expression seemed a little nervous, and Nan Kongqian nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, there were indeed some big things in Hanyang City yesterday, and many Gu worms suddenly appeared in the city last night, not only the City Lord's Mansion, but also Wangtianmen, all of which were almost devoured by Gu worms. ”

"What?!" Nan Fengzhu was stunned, "There is such a thing?"

"Yes, just yesterday when there was chaos in the city, that poisonous scorpion also took advantage of the chaos to escape, and Yu Yangqu. ”

"What! They escaped!?" Nan Fengzhu raised his eyes suddenly, feeling extremely surprised by this, and as if it was all expected, he sighed deeply and said, "Yesterday, Hanyang City was in turmoil, and the poisonous scorpion and Youyangqu took the opportunity to escape, this Gu worm must have been a step they planned in advance, I think they must have heard something about it, that's why it was so sudden." ”

"What does Dad mean, could it be that someone reported to them?" Nan Fengzhu said this, Nan Kongqian suddenly realized, "This poisonous scorpion has always been hidden in the Lu family, making poison and Gu for it, and Youyangqu has also taken refuge in the Lu family...... Could it be someone from the Lu family?"

Nan Kong Qian couldn't help but exclaim, and Nan Fengzhu just gradually sank his face, but Nan Kong Qian only felt very incredible, he carefully recalled what happened in the Lu family, carefully thought about what Lu Feiyang and Lu Ming Old City Lord had said, their expressions, he felt ...... There's nothing wrong with them!

"Dad, I always feel that maybe it wasn't the people of the Lu family who reported the news, but that the poisonous scorpion was sensitive and sensed something, so he used the Gu worm to leave Hanyang City in such a hurry. ”

"Maybe!" Nan Fengzhu smiled slightly, as if he didn't agree with what Nan Fengzhu said, but he didn't show it obviously, "After all, he can hide in the Lu family for so many years without being discovered, and he also has a certain ability." Nan Fengzhu smiled slightly, and then asked him again, "By the way, you rushed back overnight, but what does the old city lord need our Jiangling City help with?"

"That's right!" Nankong Qian immediately took out the city order when he heard this, and handed it to Nan Fengzhu, "The old city lord handed over the city order to me last night, and the reason why I rushed back overnight was because I was ordered by the deputy head of the Qilin Gate to hand over the city order to my father as soon as possible, and then send people to search around Jiangling City to see if there was any trace of them." ”

"Hmm. Nan Fengzhu nodded after reading the order to stay in the city, and said to Nan Kongqian: "Although these people left Hanyang City yesterday, but Dongchen is so big, in just a few days, they can't leave completely, so I will send people to step up the defense around the city, lest these people take the opportunity to sneak into my Jiangling City." ”

"What about Hanyang City?"

"Now that this garrison order has arrived, I will also send people to Hanyang City, and I still have to see people alive and corpses when they die. ”

"When the father will send someone, the child will go with him. ”

"There's no hurry. Nan Fengzhu stretched out his hand and signaled, "You rushed back overnight, you must be tired, let's take a good rest first, I will first send people to the outside of the city to step up patrols and issue some orders, as for Hanyang City, Dad will also send someone over to take a look first, and when you are rested, you and Gu Qing can go over together." ”

"But Dad, the poisonous scorpion and the people of Youyangqu are not idle people after all, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't take them......" Nan Kongqian couldn't help but be deeply worried, but Nan Fengzhu smiled, looking at Nan Kongqian in a half-joking tone, "Since I know that it is not their opponent, I naturally won't let people fight hard, and when people find their traces, I will send you again, how about it?"

Nan Kongqian suddenly grinned, "Then, thank you dad for trusting the child so much." ”

"Hahahahahaha, okay, let's go rest. Nan Fengzhu waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and Nan Kongqian bowed slightly, "Then don't disturb Dad, the child will retire first." With that, he turned and left the study.

When the sun rose, the first rays of light shone on the earth, and the corpses in the Hanyang City Lord's Mansion were finally carried to an open place outside the city, where Fang Haikuo, Lu Ming, Lu Feiyang, and the two elders of Wangtianmen and other disciples of Wangtianmen were all standing there, looking at the corpses covered with white cloth in front of them, they were silent and speechless one after another.

There were a total of twenty-nine corpses, the earliest dead corpses had begun to decompose, and the stench emitted was so bad that people couldn't eat for three days, and the more clearly identifiable corpses had been dead for at least two days, those corpses were placed in the open space one by one, receiving the sunlight through the white cloth, Fang Haikuo and the people who looked at Tianmen all stood in place and prayed silently, while Lu Feiyang and Lu Ming had different thoughts from them, two people, you look at me, I look at you, and there was a trace of fear and fear in their eyes.

After mourning, they were still standing in place, Fang Haikuo knew that these people were all caught by the poisonous scorpion to develop human Gu, so many people died, and they were still in the city lord's mansion, no matter what, this Lu Ming should also give an explanation, but he was the deputy head of the Qilin Sect, and the land belonged to the Northern Barbarians, even if he wanted to ask the master for the crime, it would not be his turn.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the two elders of Wangtianmen, and found that the two of them were also indifferent, he couldn't help but worry secretly, now everyone should be tacitly aware that the poisonous scorpion was for the Lu family to make poison for its existence, and now so many people have died, the old city lord was controlled by Gu poison before, and he will definitely take this opportunity to dissociate himself from the poisonous scorpion, if even the Wangtianmen in Hanyang City does not dare to stand up and speak for these innocent dead people, then these people will inevitably die too unjustly!

And the two elders of Wangtianmen seemed to understand this truth very well, the two of them glanced at each other, the hesitation in their eyes was self-evident, Lu Ming noticed the awkwardness of the atmosphere, he didn't need to ask him to know what those people were thinking, okay! Anyway, the poisonous scorpion has already left the Lu family, so let it be and give them an explanation! Anyway, the body was found in the City Lord's Mansion, and the matter has come to this, and the Lu family has nothing to say!

"Two elders, deputy heads?" he slowly stepped forward and softly called out to the elders of Wangtianmen and Fang Haikuo, they immediately turned around, "What does the city lord command?"

"That's right. Lu Ming lowered his head and said with a little sadness, "I am also very heartbroken that so many people in the city have been killed, after all, they are all my own people, if I hadn't been controlled by the poisonous scorpion Shi Gu, the entire Lu family would not have fallen to such a point." At this point, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads.

"Now that these people have been discovered from the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, as the Lord of a City, I have an unshirkable responsibility, please rest assured that the deputy head and the two elders will definitely give these people an explanation, butβ€”β€”"

"Just what?" Fang Haikuo was the first to ask.

"It's just that these people all died at the hands of the poisonous scorpion, if you don't catch him, I'm afraid I will be sorry for these dead people, besides, this poisonous scorpion has been using me to control our Lu family, I must not let him go easily! Therefore, I also want to ask the deputy head to stay in Hanyang City for a few more days to help my Hanyang City army and even Wangtianmen catch this person together!"
