Chapter 420: The Murder in Jiangdu (Fourth Update)
(The fourth watch is over, ask for a ticket)
Lin Yang and the others followed Pei Rong to the simple and elegant reception hall in the palace, and several people sat down as guests and hosts. Lin Yang quite didn't like the kneeling way of this era, but when he saw that everyone was happy to take off their shoes and sit down, he had to follow the local customs, and knelt there in his seat with a bitter face. It's not that Lin Yang feels uncomfortable kneeling and sitting, with Lin Yang's current physical fitness, even if he kneels there for a year, he won't feel any discomfort, just because in Lin Yang's consciousness, he will only kneel on his knees when he bows to his ancestors and elders.
After the servants of the palace served tea, Pei Rong began to ask about Pang Yong's life in the past few years, and Pang Yong also picked out some interesting experiences. Pei Rong and Xia Bing listened with interest, Xia Bing also asked from time to time about some details that Pang Yong did not mention in his narration, and Lin Yang almost fell asleep with boredom.
It was easy to wait until Pang Yong finished speaking, Lin Yang saw that Xia Bing still wanted to continue to ask, and hurriedly interjected: "Mrs. Wang, Brother Yong told us when he came, you once sent a letter saying that you wanted Brother Yong to help with something, what is the matter?" Can you tell us about it, maybe we can help too? ”
Xia Bing was reminded by Lin Yang, and she also remembered this incident, and she also echoed Lin Yang and said: "Yes, yes, if there is an opportunity to chat in the future, let's talk about business first." After speaking, he turned his head to Pang Yong and said, "Brother Yong, don't worry, I will help you no matter what." ”
Pei Rong glanced at Pang Yong helplessly, and Pang Yong smiled. said to Pei Rong: "Lin Yang is my good brother, and he can say anything to me." Xia Bing ......" glanced at Xia Bing hesitantly. continued: "Xia Bing is a warm-hearted and good girl, and she can help me a lot in some things. ”
Xia Bing nodded happily when he heard Pang Yong's praise, staring at Pei Rong with two big eyes, as if he couldn't wait to help.
Pei Rong heard Pang Yong say this, and knew that these people were good friends who could be trusted, so she waved her hand to let the servants leave the reception hall, and deliberately stood up and walked around the door of the hall and the window. to make sure no one is eavesdropping outside the house.
Lin Yang smiled and said to Pei Rong: "Mrs. Wang, don't worry, with me here, I can guarantee that it is impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on our conversation outside the house, and even if necessary, I can guarantee that no one can approach this small courtyard." ”
Pei Rong nodded to Lin Yang and said calmly, "I know." You martial arts practitioners are deaf and clear-sighted, and it is impossible for ordinary people to approach you privately without your ears and eyes. I was just scared, so I subconsciously turned around, just to ask for peace of mind. ”
Xia Bing said eagerly: "Okay, now there are no outsiders here, Sister Pei Rong, you can talk about anything you want Brother Yong to help with now." ”
Pang Yong looked at Xia Bing, who was extremely eager. couldn't help but smile and shook his head, looked at Pei Rong and said, "Pei Rong, what's something bothering you?" You say, no matter what happens, I, Pang Yong, will solve it for you even if I go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”
After Pei Rong sat down again. nodded to Pang Yong: "Thank you, Brother Yong." After saying that, a trace of sadness appeared on his face. hesitated for a long time, but didn't know how to speak.
Xia Bing stood up and sat down beside Pei Rong, reached out and pulled one of Pei Rong's arms and shook it gently: "Sister Pei Rong, say it quickly, you want to kill me in a hurry, there are no outsiders here, just say it quickly." ”
Pei Rong was disturbed by Xia Bing's this, and actually laughed, stretched out a hand and patted Xia Bing's little hand in the crook of her arm, turned her head and said to Pang Yong: "Brother Yong, there have been nearly ten murders in Jiangdu City recently. Strangely enough, there is no connection between the people who were killed, and it seems that the murderer was simply killing for the sake of killing. And every person who was killed was killed by someone who had their hearts gouged out, and the death was extremely tragic. This year, the matter has made the whole Jiangdu City panic, as long as the sky is dark every day, no people in the Jiangdu City dare to go out on the street anymore. And among the dead people, there is also a well-known psychic race immortal in Jiangdu City. ”
Pang Yong heard this and interjected: "Race Immortal? Is it the race fairy who claims to be able to divination, tell fortunes, see demons, and get rid of demons all day long? ”
Pei Rong nodded and continued: "It was because of the death of the Sai Immortal that I was really scared. The day after the death of the Sai Immortal, I asked someone to send a letter to Brother Yong, hoping that you would come back. ”
Pang Yong frowned and pondered for a while before he said, "Pei Rong, did you call me back just so that I could find out about this murder case?" I don't need to do this, do you? I know Wang Sheng's ability, and if he can't find out the case, I'm afraid I can't do anything. ”
Xia Bing interjected: "Brother Yong, I can also help you, the two of us will investigate this case together, I don't believe it can't be found clearly." ”
Lin Yang said to Xia Bing angrily: "Xiaoice, don't interject anymore, listen well." After listening, if you can help, Brother Yong will not be polite to you, you interject so indiscriminately, how can Mrs. Wang explain the incident clearly? ”
Xia Bing turned his head and glared at Lin Yang, but he didn't lose his childish temper, he just sat beside Pei Rong angrily, looking at Pang Yong from time to time, and then he was left to glare at Lin Yang incessantly.
Pei Rong ignored Xia Bing's funny beside her, and only prepared a sentence before slowly saying to Pang Yong: "Brother Yong, first, Wang Sheng received an order from Shangfeng to lead his troops out on a mission when the murder incident just happened. Second, I suspect that the murder had something to do with Wang Sheng. ”
Pang Yong looked at Pei Rong in surprise, blinked vigorously, and then said hesitantly: "Pei Rong, do you mean that Wang Sheng has something to do with the murder?" It can't be, right? How could Wang Sheng do such a thing that everyone is angry about? ”
Pei Rong sighed, shook her head lightly and said, "I'm not saying that Wang Sheng is the murderer of this murder, but that this murder has a certain connection with Wang Sheng. Just before the murder, Wang Sheng received an order to go to the desert to encircle and suppress the sand bandits, and it was during that mission that Wang Sheng rescued a stunning woman from the sand bandits' lair and brought her back to Jiangdu. The disaster in Jiangdu seems to have started at this time, I once found some abnormalities in this woman named Xiao Wei, such as once I accidentally cut Xiao Wei's hand with scissors, at that time I hurriedly asked someone to bring medicine and wine and gauze to bandage her, but Xiao Wei's hand did not have a wound at all, at that time Xiao Wei said that I was wrong, she was not injured at all, but I can be sure that Xiao Wei was indeed injured at that time. From that moment on, I began to doubt this little Yui. I told Sai Shenxian my suspicions, and Sai Shenxian said that Xiao Wei was a demon, but this demon's mana was very profound, and he couldn't deal with it, so he was going to find a real demon slayer to subdue her. Unexpectedly, the next day, the Sai Immortal was killed, and when he died, his heart was dug out. ”
After listening to Pei Rong's story, Pang Yong shook his head and said to Pei Rong: "Pei Rong, I feel that this matter is not so simple, I never believe that there is really such a thing as a monster in this world, I suspect that there is another hidden meaning in this matter." ”
Xia Bing, who had endured it for a long time and didn't speak, couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted at Pang Yong: "Brother Yong, there are really demons in this world, I am a demon slayer, and I am here to subdue demons and eliminate demons." Brother Lin is also a demon slayer, the first day I met you with Brother Lin, I just killed a man-eating sand scorpion demon in the desert. After speaking, he turned his head to Pei Rong and said, "Sister Pei Rong, don't worry, if that Xiao Wei is really a demon, I will definitely kill her and get rid of this scourge for the people of Jiangdu." Sister Pei Rong, you see, this is the magic weapon I use to get rid of demons, as long as there is a demon nearby, the demon hunting bottle will light up. ”
Xia Bing said as she took out her demon hunting bottle from the bag on her waist, as soon as the demon hunting bottle was taken out, it lit up, Xia Bing saw that the demon hunting bottle lit up, and was about to shout, but suddenly closed her mouth again, looked at Lin Yang who was sitting there quietly in embarrassment, turned her head and stammered to Pei Rong: "I'm sorry Sister Pei Rong, I forgot that Brother Lin is more special, with him by my side, my demon hunting bottle is basically unusable, it doesn't matter, I have other magic weapons, I must be able to find out if there are monsters in Jiangdu City." ”
Pei Rong barely showed a smile and nodded to Xia Bing, "Thank you, sister Xiaoice." ”
After thanking Xia Bing, Pei Rong continued to say to Pang Yong: "Brother Yong, in fact, it is not difficult to get rid of Xiao Wei, the problem is that Xiao Wei is very popular with Wang Sheng now, I tried to find someone to test Xiao Wei's details several times, but Wang Sheng stopped me." And now most of the unmarried officers in the Wang family's army are interested in Xiao Wei, and they are also a kind of force to protect Xiao Wei. ”
Pang Yong heard Pei Rong mention Wang Jiajun, and was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wang Jiajun?" ”
Pei Rong remembered Pang Yong's original identity at this time, and said to Pang Yong embarrassedly: "Brother Yong, after you leave, your position will be taken over by Wang Sheng, and this army will be renamed Wang Jiajun." ”
Pang Yong smiled, waved his hand and said generously: "I understand, I can't go, this army is still called Pang Jiajun, I just didn't react for a while." ”
After speaking, Pang Yong tapped a few times on the table with his middle finger, pursed his lips and thought for a while, raised his eyes to look at Pei Rong and said: "I know Pei Rong, you don't care about this matter anymore, I will investigate Xiao Wei's origin privately, if she is really a demon or has ulterior motives, I think she will definitely find her flaws." When we have sufficient evidence and then explain the truth to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng is not the kind of person who is greedy for beauty, and he will definitely wake up. ”
Xia Bing said anxiously: "What else is investigating, if you want me to say, just find that Xiao Wei directly, and if you hit a manifestation talisman, it will make her true form be revealed, and then directly take her away." ”
