Chapter Eighty-Four: The Burrow Presents Books, and the Corpse Appears by the Riverside
Wu Hanjiang, Yu Xin and Zhou Wenzhao had their own hearts, although the table was full of wine and delicacies, the meal was tasteless, and it ended in less than half an hour. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the usual situation, Zhou Wenzhao was going to have sex with his concubine after lunch. There was a mess, but in the morning he had just killed the most spoiled concubine with his own hands, and he was not in the mood at this time, so he excused himself to go to the mine patrol and hurriedly went out.
Zhou Wenzhao always felt as if he was wearing no clothes in front of Wu Hanjiang, and his every move couldn't escape Wu Hanjiang's eyes, which was why he didn't want to stay at home.
When the Lord of Qianhu had lunch, he actually brought Yu Xin, a maid who had just arrived at the house, and the maidservants in the house who originally planned to bully Yu Xin suddenly dispelled the thoughts in their hearts, although this delicate beauty was inevitably abandoned by Lord Qianhu in the end, but when she was still favored, it was still easy to kill them, the lowest servants.
No one dared to disturb, Wu Hanjiang followed Yu Xin to her newly cleaned room, and suddenly couldn't help frowning and said, "Xin'er, do you really plan to stay here?" In fact, you don't need to be like this at all, although your father was framed by Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others, but he was killed by order of Emperor Yingzong, so as long as Emperor Yingzong still reigns for a day, it is impossible to rehabilitate your father.
"Even if Emperor Yingzong is dead, according to the current situation, it is very likely that the crown prince Zhu Jianjun will ascend the throne, Zhu Jianjun is the son of Emperor Yingzong, even if he ascends the throne, it is unlikely that he will overturn his father's edict to rehabilitate your father, so if you want to avenge your father's grievances, you have to think of another way."
Yu Xin nodded firmly and said, "Father-in-law, Xin'er has made up her mind, so don't persuade me anymore." Now that my father is dead, how can I disgrace his loyal soul? ”
Wu Hanjiang also knew that he couldn't convince Yu Xin at all, shook his head and sighed for a while, took out a square and neat handkerchief from his arms, handed it to Yu Xin and said: "Xin'er, think about it carefully for your father, although the "Yuhong Handbook" is said to be both medical and poisonous, but it is too dangerous to connect it after all, it is better for you to practice less." I have a book of martial arts here that is suitable for you to practice, if you have time, you can try to practice it, and if you really encounter any situation in the future, you can also use it to protect yourself. ”
Yu Xin held the handkerchief in the palm of her hand, only to see a few vivid cold plums embroidered on it, and surrounded the word "Yi", she carefully opened the plum blossom handkerchief, and saw a thin booklet, on which the words "Fuyun sleeve" were neatly written, and asked Wu Hanjiang: "Father-in-law, this is?" ”
A gentle look flashed in Wu Hanjiang's eyes, as if he was recalling a memory that had been sealed in his heart for many years, and as if he was saying to Yu Xin: "This kind of kung fu is called 'cloud sleeves', which is a sleeve method of softness and rigidity, defense and attack, through the long sleeves to show it, practice to a certain realm to be able to overcome rigidity with softness, and hurt the enemy invisibly. ”
Yu Xin thought carefully, took in Wu Hanjiang's expression, knew that this martial arts secret book and this handkerchief were of great significance to him, and hurriedly bowed to Wu Hanjiang: "Xin'er thanked her father-in-law!" "But I was puzzled in my heart, my father-in-law was still a fairy when he was old, he was definitely a beautiful son when he was young, coupled with his excellent martial arts, he was almost the image of the standard dream lover in the minds of all Huaichun girls, why did he always be alone? Never heard him talk about the past?
With a wave of Wu Hanjiang's sleeves, a soft force was born that made her fall down with Xin's support, and said with some displeasure: "Xin'er, what are you doing here?" Do we still need these mundane courtesies between father and daughter? ”
Yu Xin's heart was hot, and she hurriedly stood up straight, nodded and said, "Father-in-law, I know!" "My father was framed to death, my younger brother died in front of him, and when he was unaccompanied, he met Wu Hanjiang and Lu Yi's master and apprentice, although they only met in Pingshui, they regarded her as the closest person, and protected her regardless of personal safety, so that she once again had a sense of home and family affection, Ren is her heart is strong enough, and she can't help but burst into tears.
Wu Hanjiang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, why are our grandfathers and sons sighing and sentimental here?" Let people see it and still laugh off their big teeth? Quickly wipe away your tears and accompany your father-in-law for a walk. ”
Yu Xinqiao's face flushed, she was a little embarrassed, hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, followed the footsteps of Wu Hanjiang and went out, just in time to meet the master of Wang who came over.
Master Wang originally planned to come over to arrange work for Yu Xin, after all, her current identity is an exiled sinner, but when she met Wu Hanjiang head-on, she dispelled this idea, although he didn't know Wu Hanjiang's identity, but the person who could talk to the Lord of Qianhu was something he couldn't afford to provoke anyway.
Wu Hanjiang didn't say much, didn't pay attention to the king at all, and took Yu Xin out of the courtyard one after the other, and walked to the southwest.
The southwest direction is the station of Longmen Shu Qianhu, stationed more than 1,000 soldiers, and then go a little west is the Xishan mine, there is a river in the south of the Xishan mine, it is a tributary of Fenshui, the river is not wide, the river is not urgent, but it is the water source of the whole Longmen Town.
Wu Hanjiang looked at the calm and waveless river, but he didn't know how many whirlpools were hidden under the calm river, and said to Xin worriedly: "Xin'er, Longmen is no better than Luocheng, although after you arrive here, the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang dare not blatantly hunt you down, but these people have always done things by unscrupulous means, it is difficult to ensure that they will be unfavorable to you in secret, and it may not be safe in the Qianhu, especially that Zhou Qianhu, you have to be more careful." ”
Yu Xin nodded and said: "I know my father-in-law, no matter what, I will definitely protect myself, because I want to see with my own eyes those who framed my father to be ruined, and wait until the day when my father is wronged!" ”
Zhou Qianhu's eyes are always confused when he looks at her, although he hides it very well, but he can't escape Yu Xin's eyes, but Yu Xin also figured it out, although staying in Qianhu may be a sheep into the tiger's mouth, but if you go to the Xishan mine, it will be a sheep into the wolf pack, and it is still possible to deal with a tiger, but there is absolutely no chance of survival against a group of outlaws like hungry wolves.
There was a sudden pause at the foot of the Wuhan River, and the Lone Shadow Sword was already in his hand, and he quickly picked it up on the soil under his feet several times, only to hear Yu Xin's exclamation of "ah", and a corner of bloodstained clothes suddenly appeared in the soft soil.
Wu Hanjiang suddenly remembered the faint smell of blood in Zhou Wenzhao's room, how similar it was to here, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and his hand sped up, and he dug up the headless corpse in an instant.
"Father-in-law, she...... What about her head? Yu Xin looked at the headless corpse, her face turned pale, "Who did it?" How cruel it is? On the first day of her arrival in Longmenshu, she encountered such a thing, and her mood was suddenly extremely heavy.
Wu Hanjiang flicked the clothes of the female corpse with his sword, and muttered: "The corpse has not decomposed yet, and the blood stains on the clothes have not been dry for a long time, it seems that it has not been long since she died, and it will not be more than four hours at most." What Wu Hanjiang didn't say was that through his simple investigation just now, he found that this lady's lower body had been ravaged before she was killed. Traitor. After. Kill.
"So she was killed last night? What kind of hatred does the murderer have with her? Yu Xin asked in a trembling voice.
Wu Hanjiang nodded and said: "To be precise, around midnight today, if you want to find out the truth of the matter, you must first find the head of this headless female corpse and determine her identity, otherwise you won't even know who the deceased is, and there is no way to find out." ”
Yu Xin was also embarrassed suddenly: "But this huge Dragon Gate Array, how can I find her head?" ”
Wu Hanjiang looked up at the upstream of the river, estimated the distance from the river to the town, and analyzed: "Xin'er, you see, there are no villages at all from here to the upstream, only the town we just came to is inhabited, and it is less than a quarter of an hour away from the town to walk, the murderer is killing people at the end of the day, at that time it was almost dawn, I think he must be worried that someone in the town will be found after dawn, so he hurriedly buried the body here, so it can be inferred from this, The head of the headless corpse must be around here, too, so we'll split up and see if we can find it. ”
Yu Xin suddenly shivered, nodded timidly, and saw the Wuhan River walking upstream, so he could only go downstream to see if he could find some clues.
In the lower reaches of the river, the riverside is full of aquatic plants, Yu Xinshen walked forward more than ten feet with a shallow foot, and suddenly kicked a hard thing under her feet, she looked down and saw that among the messy grass, there was a woman's head thrown abruptly, the long black hair was wrapped around the aquatic plants indiscriminately, and the neck was cut off together, and her pretty face was full of horror, and her pupils were staring at Yu Xin, obviously dead.
Yu Xin was shocked, jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and screamed "Ah": "Father-in-law, father-in-law, she is here!" ”
The figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and Wu Hanjiang appeared in front of Yu Xin, Hanjiang's lonely shadow figure method really lived up to its reputation, from Yu Xin's shouting to his appearance, the distance of dozens of zhang swept over in the blink of an eye.
Wu Hanjiang split his sword to open the water weeds, cut off the hair wrapped around the water weeds, stretched out his hand and lifted the head, and came to the headless corpse in three steps and two steps, and put the head on the neck of the headless corpse, and it was indeed a person.
Wu Hanjiang probed the body again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Looking at this woman's outfit, she should be a person with some status in this town, and it is very likely that it is a love murder case!" ”
Yu Xin hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, what should we do then?" ”
Wu Hanjiang closed the soil again, buried the female corpse to restore the situation just now, washed his hands with river water, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "There are almost no clues, we are new to the city, there is no way to find out!" ”
"Then we don't care?" Yu Xin said unwillingly.
Wu Hanjiang shook his head and said: "Since this matter has been encountered by us, we can't ignore it, according to my judgment, the murderer will definitely go and return after dark, dig up the body and find a more hidden place to bury it, so we should do nothing now, let's go back to the town, and when the evening comes, I will find out again, if I can catch the person who hid the body, the truth will soon be revealed!" ”
Thinking that his dignified "Sword Saint" actually did the matter of investigating and solving the case, Wu Hanjiang couldn't help but be a little speechless, but this matter is too weird, it is very likely that it is not as simple as it seems, maybe it has something to do with the two of them coming to Longmen, no matter what, it can't be taken lightly.
