After a slight look at the quality, it didn't look like a medium-grade spirit stone, and Shang Luo was not disappointed.

It's a windfall, and it's enough for me to get it.

What's more, in addition to those spirit stones, there are other harvests such as cheats, brocade boxes, jade bottles, etc., not to mention the storage ring on the hand is the biggest gain of this trip.

"This is not the place to stay. ”

After a brief look around, there was no other figure in the dim alley, and the black dirty water not far away flowed sideways, emitting a foul smell, and even the beggars did not want to take it with them.

Three or five wild cats were lying next to the garbage heap, fighting for food, and the green cat pupils were not looking at Shang Luo, in the dark night, with a little horror.

Seeing the cat, Shang Luo unconsciously thought about the possibility of raising one by himself, after all, according to the classics of the Ghost Sect, cats are born psychic, and if they are well raised, they can deter ten thousand ghosts.

Yang Yue originally had one, and it was still a spirit seed, but it was lost in the battle of the Ghost Sect to destroy the sect, and he even wrote a diary of more than a dozen pages to mourn and mourn for it.

With a move of his mind, he put the important classics such as the Soul Nourishing Gourd, Star Yuan Baolian, and Yin Yuan Gong in the space, and Shang Luo's footsteps were light, and he disappeared into the darkness.

......

At noon on the second day, in the backyard of the Shang Mansion, in the study.

Holding this account book, Shang Ruohai listened to the housekeeper's report while looking at the revenue of the store's stores this month.

"So, Xiao Jie, the second son of the Xiao family, died in the No. 3 courtyard of Yizi, and the cause of death has not been found out yet?" After listening to the report, Shang Ruohai put down the account book, leaned on the back of the chair, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy and anger.

"Exactly. ”

Looking at Shang Ruohai, who was expressionless, the housekeeper was a little flustered. With him all the year round, he knew that the more he couldn't see his expression, the more it showed that Shang Ruohai was in a bad mood at this time.

In fact, the butler's guess was correct.

At this moment, Shang Ruohai's heart was simply stuffed to the extreme.

It has been fifteen days since the Yu family stole the heavy treasure of Tianxing Mountain, and in the past fifteen days, the consequences of the theft of the heavy treasure have begun to be highlighted. Originally, they wanted to work with the six companies to temporarily suppress the matter and mitigate the adverse effects.

But the Yu family, the initiator, died by himself, and a civil strife broke out within the clan.

In the civil strife, those opponents not only leaked the theft of the treasure of Tianxing Mountain, but even the classics that the Yudao people left at home back then were also published.

The loss of the star yuan Baolian will not have a steady stream of Tianxing stones, which is a huge blow to the prestige of the merchants who rely heavily on the Tianxing stones.

After learning about the effect of Star Yuan Bao Lian, several other larger side branches of the merchant faintly united together, feeling that it was the inaction of the main vein that made the merchant miss such a heavy treasure as Star Yuan Bao Lian.

Coupled with the mysterious death of the second son of the Xiao family discovered today, it is difficult for the merchant who is a snake on the ground to deal with himself.

After the autopsy was identified, Xiao Ergongzi had no obvious fatal wounds on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning. The same is true of several guards in the courtyard, who died very eerily, almost like ...... The ghost is the same. ”

"Ghost?" Shang Ruohai fell silent.

A ghost character pulled him into the memory of when he was still studying in the Ziyang Sect in the past, and at that time, he had dealt with the Ghost Sect a lot.

Although, a few years ago, the Ghost Sect was destroyed by the White Bone Dao, which was also a Demon Sect, but the remnants of the evil flowed everywhere, who could guarantee that they would be captured.

In addition, the world is vast, and it is not only the ghost sect that makes ghosts.

Moreover, this kind of thing is not the work of a terrible ghost, and no signs of poisoning does not mean that it is not poisoned and died.

"Is there a suspect?"

"Yes. After hesitating for a moment, the housekeeper said: "There are four at present, one is the Cui family's Cui Yan Wang, he met with the second son of the Xiao family yesterday, it was not very pleasant, and Miss Cui also said that the second son of Xiao had a bloody disaster. ”

"Why is the Cui family also involved?" Shang Ruohai said with a headache: "Go on." ”

"The second is the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family is good at using poison, there are countless poisons in the clan, maybe some new poison has been researched, and the third son of Ouyang also had a dispute with the second son of the Xiao family, the two went to Baihualou last night, and had a big fight for the top card out of the cabinet, before the third son of Ouyang left, let go of the cruel words, saying that he wanted the life of the second son of Xiao. ”

"Whew!" With a long breath, as if he wanted to vent the helplessness in his heart, Shang Ruohai continued: "What about the third one?"

"The third one is the most like a murderer, and the least like a murderer. The housekeeper said with a solemn face: "This person doesn't know his name, he doesn't know his origin, he is young, his clothes are clean, his face is yellow, he has a black knife, he once wanted to do something to Xiao Ergongzi because he rescued a little girl, by the way, the Cui family was also present at that time." Later, he wanted to enter Tianxianglou, but after being rejected by the guards at the door, he went to the Zhangjia teahouse opposite, and the old servant interrogated the little two in the store, and the little two said that the young man asked him about the Yu family and Tianxianglou, and after that, he also drank with the third son. ”

"Ren family?" Shang Ruohai's face twitched.

"Yes, the old servant originally wanted to go to Ren Sangongzi to ask, but according to the subordinates, Ren Sangongzi has not woken up until now after being drunk. In addition, there are only Xiao Ergongzi and two guards in the No. 3 courtyard of B, according to the old servant's guess, those three guards are likely to be sent by Xiao Ergongzi to follow this person, last night, there was a Xiao family guard back, less than half an hour later, and then there was no trace of the three. ”

"Found it in town?"

"I looked for it, and after the maid found out that Xiao Ergongzi had died in the morning, the old servant sent people to look for the three guards in the whole city, but they didn't find it. ”

"There was a dispute, and I wanted to hear the news of Tianxianglou, this is to find out, after knowing that the Xiao family's guards were following him, in a fit of anger, it is not impossible to kill someone, this person is very suspicious. Shang Ruohai got up and paced, and his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character: "Then why do you say that he is the least like a murderer?"

"The strength is not right. The butler smiled bitterly.

Shang Ruohai nodded, knowing in his heart.

The second son of the Xiao family came this time and brought five guards with him who were refining the body, and his strength was not weak, if it wasn't for poisoning, this matter would have been like a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, there are currently many masters in the merchant town, but in addition to him, he is afraid that it is the Cui Yama King of the Cui family.

As for this suspect who most resembles a murderer, since he is wearing a knife, he wants to be a swordsman, but Xiao Ergongzi has no knife wounds on his body. As for whether he deliberately disguised himself as a knife man, according to the housekeeper, the other party wore a knife before offending the son of the Xiao family, so he couldn't know in advance that he would offend the Xiao family and deliberately wear a knife to confuse them?

"And what about the last one?"

"The last one is Wang Hu, the guard of Xiao Ergongzi. The butler said.

"Tell me. ”

"Wang Hu is one of the three missing guards, according to the investigation, this person was the leader of a mountain bandit in the early years, and was later subdued by the Xiao family, and this time he became the leader of the guards escorting Xiao Ergongzi. Before, the old slave had guessed that Wang Hu was killed by the young man with a sword, and then the young man changed into Wang Hu's clothes, mixed into the No. 3 courtyard of Yizi, and then killed Xiao Ergongzi, but then I thought about it, could it be that after Wang Hu killed the two companions, he returned to the No. 3 courtyard of Yizi, and then killed Xiao Ergongzi, after all, he is his own person, if the other guards are defenseless, it is not difficult to succeed. ”

After a pause, the butler continued: "The old servant asked the Cui family King Cui Yan, and he said that the cultivation of the saber body would not exceed the double level of body refining. After careful comparison, the old servant was more inclined to Wang Hu. ”

The five guards of the Xiao family are not weak, they are also good hands in the double body refining, plus they died strangely, it is difficult to do it silently without superb strength, unless it is done by themselves.

"Send the details of this matter to the Xiao family in a letter, and we will leave the rest alone. After thinking for a moment, Shang Ruohai made a decision.

With the fermentation of the impact of the theft of Star Ingot Baolian, the merchant is currently extremely passive, the hearts of the people in the clan are fluctuating, and the performance of many industries is declining, and he can't be annoyed by these.

What's more, this matter is weird, and it involves the Cui family, the Ren family, the Ouyang family, and the Xiao family themselves.

"Will the Xiao family complain?" the housekeeper worried.

"No matter what he does, our merchant town is located in the extreme east of Xingluo, and it was only selected by the Immortal Sect as a place for disciples to be included in the sect back then, and the other clans have not given the merchants any benefits, so why should we be responsible for the life and death of other clansmen?" Shang Ruohai said unhappily.

Don't look at the current rise of the Xiao family, but their merchants are also not bad, his two sons are all under the Ziyang Sect, plus the care of the former teacher, the future is just around the corner.

If there was no bad thing about Tianxing Mountain, he would have continued to investigate, but now that the merchant is in trouble himself, where is he willing to waste time and energy to investigate the matter of a dead man?

"This matter is so decided, in addition, strengthen the guard work of Tianxiang Building, we can afford to die a businessman, there are too many deaths, but it will not work. ”
