Shen Shaoxi came suddenly, and brought some important clues to everyone, as well as found a tunnel. ``

Zhanzhao and the others followed Shen Shaoxi into a forest.

The entrance to the tunnel was quite hidden, hidden in a tree.

Several soldiers cut down the tree and found that the trunk was hollow and led straight to the tunnel.

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Can this be found?" ”

One of the guards pointed to the dead leaves that had fallen all over the ground and said, "This technique is also common on the battlefield, and it is usually used to set up ambushes, as long as you look for a big tree that died suddenly." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, I see......

Ouyang glanced into the tree hole and frowned, "It's quite deep." ”

Bai Yutang took out a black jade flying locust stone and threw it down.

Shen Shaoxi listened to it and shook his head, "There's no water, but it's very long." ”

The soldiers lit torches, and Zhanzhao picked one up and jumped down.

Bai Yutang asked Ouyang to wait on the side, and he also jumped down, Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi also wanted to go down, but they were stopped by Ouyang Shaozheng.

Shen Shaoxi also followed, and also followed two of his subordinates.

After entering the tunnel, Zhan Zhao held the torch and looked forward, it was indeed a long tunnel.

Shen Shaoxi followed and took two steps and suddenly stopped.

The crowd thought he had found something and stopped to look at him.

Shen Shaoxi frowned slightly, for a long time, and asked, "Is it haunted?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

The two soldiers looked back and forth—what was going on.

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and asked, "What did you hear?" ”

"Uh...... It seems that someone is walking with us, but I can't hear the footsteps and I can't breathe......" Shen Shaoxi was confused.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and looked at the shark behind them together.

Bai Yutang said to Shen Shaoxi, "You stretch out your hand." ”

Shen Shaoxi didn't understand too much, but he still stretched out his hand......

At this time, I saw ice in mid-air...... As the ice slowly expanded, a tall silhouette of an iceman appeared......

Because of the firelight, the shape of the shark is clearer than usual......

The two guards took a step back, startled......

Shen Shaoxi felt that his hand stretched out in the air touched a cold hand...... But it wasn't exactly ice, and when it touched it, it dissipated......

Shen Shaoxi opened his mouth slightly, a smile appeared on his face, nodded, and continued to walk forward with everyone.

Zhan Zhao asked him with some curiosity, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I remembered a phrase from a man." Shen Shaoxi said, "Someone once said that there are as many things that can be seen in this world as there are things that cannot be seen...... If you want half of it, you have to give up the other half. ”

"Sounds crooked." Zhan Zhao asked, "Who said that?" ”

Shen Shaoxi smiled, "A person who can only say crooked reasoning." ”

……

He Yihang, who was far away at the border, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to read the official document with his chin propped up.

……

Walking along the tunnel, Zhanzhao picked up things all the way, all of them were bricks and tiles, "They fell when carrying those abandoned houses, right?" ”

"Are those dilapidated houses improvised?" Shen Shaoxi was curious.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bai Yutang asked, "What is your impression of that old lady?" ”

"Well...... Shen Shaoxi thought for a while, "she has a lot of internal strength...... And I don't think she's really an old lady, preferring her to be a young man pretending. ”

"Can you tell if the impostor is a man or a woman?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The corners of Shen Shaoxi's mouth curled slightly, "This is a bit difficult...... You can guess though. ”

"Guess?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both puzzled, "How can you guess?" ”

Shen Shaoxi touched his chin gently, "First of all, she is not big, because she was carried up the mountain by a woodcutter...... According to the changes in the footsteps before and after the woodcutter carried her, it is inferred that she should weigh seventy or eighty pounds...... Reasonable for an elderly lady. And if you are thin, it will be more convincing. ”

"But height and weight can all be changed through internal strength." Zhanzhao reminded.

Shen Shaoxi nodded, "So I looked for an opportunity and touched her hand." ”

Bai Yutang and Zhan clearly understood - indeed, the biggest flaw in the bone shrinking skill is the hand, the internal force is high-energy collarbone but not the skin, other parts can be hidden in clothes and shoes, but the hand must be exposed...... Therefore, many masters simply do not shrink their hands, and through the size of their hands, they can most accurately judge the size of the person.

"And what about the result?" Bai Yutang asked.

"As a result, the man was a small boy." Shen Shaoxi said, "I personally think there is about seventy percent credibility. ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, the murderer of Bian Qing and Qian Tongqian seemed to fit this description very well.

While chatting, everyone stopped, because there were two forks in the road ahead.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Which side to choose?" ”

"No matter how you go, it's just going around outside Kaifeng City, right?" Shen Shaoxi asked, "If there are tunnels in the city, General Zou should find out." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded in agreement, Zou Liang still has a wolf nature to some extent, and his ears and nose are also good thieves, he did take his men and dogs to search around the city before, but he didn't find a tunnel.

……

In this way, everyone walked around the tunnel, walked for a few hours, made marks as they went, and finally ...... They returned to the fork in the road.

A few guards were so tired that they gasped, "Is this going around Kaifeng City?" ”

Shen Shaoxi nodded, "It's a pentagon." ”

"Isn't it a circle?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Shen Shaoxi shook his head, "The distance between the five sides is the same. ”

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Why are you digging a circle outside Kaifeng City?" ”

"In my years of experience as a soldier." Shen Shaoxi shook his head, "No matter what the use is, it is not good for Kaifeng City, it is equivalent to sealing the road out of the city, and it is impossible for people to dig a closed ditch outside, which is a taboo for soldiers." ”

By the time Zhanzhao and the others crawled out of the tunnel, it was already evening.

At the entrance of the cave, Ouyang and Xiao Sizi are no longer there, probably taking the child home first.

Instead, there was Zou Liang, as well as Lin Yehuo, who was napping on a tree, and Long Qiaoguang, who was sitting on a stump and "chatting" with a few guards.

Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang obviously also had a very good relationship with Shen Shaoxi, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they both asked about Bianguan and He Yihang.

The three brothers walked in front, and the guards followed.

Zhanzhao asked Lin Yehuo, "What about the little four sons?" ”

Lin Yehuo looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and said, "You guys have been down for about two hours." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded--then?

"Then just now the Imperial City Army came to say that there was another murder in Kaifeng City, Ouyang went, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi followed him, and Gongsun was conducting an autopsy."

Lin Yehuo shrugged his shoulders at the two of them, expressing helplessness.

Zhan Zhao's brows knotted, "Dead again?" Who died? Does it have anything to do with Gaohezhai? ”

Lin Yehuo snorted twice, "It doesn't matter, Bian Fangrui is dead." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood at the same time, looking at Lin Yehuo in surprise - what?!

"Guess how that kid died?" Lin Yehuo raised an eyebrow.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and said in unison, "The head of the golden basin? ”

Lin Yehuo nodded, "Isn't it." ”

"And then Bian Sheng still didn't show up?" Bai Yutang asked.

Lin Yehuo shook his head, "Nangong Ji also came to shake around just now, probably Zhao Zhen already knew that there were people from the northwest border, it is said that the palace sent hundreds of spies to find a night before, Kaifeng City is so big, Bian Sheng can find even a fly." ”

"He's not in Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Yehuo grimaced with a wrinkled nose and shook his head.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew it in their hearts - or had they already encountered an accident?

After entering the city, everyone went to the "scene" of the murder together, Taibaiju.

This is the second homicide case in Taibaiju, the shopkeeper and the guy shook their hands at the door, and there was a downtown near Taibaiju, and the onlookers were three layers inside and three layers outside. Whether you are from the rivers and lakes or not, you have all heard of the name of Gaohezhai, and this one of the best sects in the rivers and lakes naturally has the best masters in the rivers and lakes! How did these masters get killed one by one? And how powerful is the murderer this time? actually committed crimes in Kaifeng City three times in a row!

When Zhan Zhao arrived, he found that the Imperial City Army had surrounded Taibai Ju, and no one was allowed to enter except for the people of Kaifeng Mansion.

The people of Gaohe Village gathered at the door, and naturally Bai Mutian was also there, and Bian Yan was standing beside Bai Mutian.

When Zhanzhao walked past them...... Involuntarily, I was attracted to the attention of Bianyan...... Originally, he should have paid attention to Bai Mutian's expression, but after taking a look at Bian Yan, Zhanzhao didn't have the heart to care about Bai Mutian.

If I'm not mistaken, Bian Fang Rui is the son of Bian Fangrui...... Dad is dead, a teenage son must at least cry, right? But at this time, let alone crying, even the circles under his eyes are not red. He just stood beside Bai Mutian and looked coldly at the noisy disciples of Gaohe Village, as well as the Imperial City Army who maintained order...... It seems that the dead are just a passer-by they don't know.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced back at Bai Yutang, what does that mean- have you seen it? Isn't it a bit of an anomaly?

Bai Yutang naturally saw it, not only did he feel that Bian was abnormal, but Bai Mutian was also abnormal! Bai Mutian also looked like he didn't care about himself, one big and one small stood outside the crowd, looking at the apprentices of Gaohe Village excitedly.

Zhanzhao and the others walked into Taibai Ju quickly.

At the staircase on the second floor, Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi were squatting on the steps, one holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand and putting them on the staircase.

Zhanzhao was about to go upstairs, but Xiao Liangzi stopped him, "Don't take the stairs, there are a lot of bloody footprints, Mr. asked me not to step on them and wait for you to come and see." ”

"Bloody footprints?!" Lin Yehuo hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes to look at the ground...... Sure enough, even in the lobby of Taibaiju, there are a few blood-colored footprints, the color is very light and not complete, all the way to the gate, this is the murderer from the main entrance?

Zhao Pu seemed to hear the voice, and looked out, "Shaoxi." ”

Shen Shaoxi raised his head and saluted, "Marshal." ”

Zhao Pu beckoned to him, "Is the border pass okay?" ”

Everyone understands in their hearts, Zhao Pu doesn't look at the usual hangers, but he is still worried...... He Yihang suddenly sent Shen Shaoxi, which was indeed a bit scary.

"Marshal don't worry, the border is stable." Shen Shaoxi said, "It's just something else." ”

Zhao Pu nodded, relieved.

Shen Shaoxi took out He Yihang's letter to Zhao Pu from his arms, flew upstairs, handed the letter to Zhao Pu, and told him about a ditch dug outside Kaifeng City.

Zhao Pu heard this, did he pay it back? Let Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang take people to dig up the tunnel to see what the situation is, and then fill it with soil.

……

Lin Yehuo squatted at the top of the stairs, looked at the string of blood-colored footprints on the steps, and frowned, "Tsk...... How bloody is this scene? ”

Xiao Sizi squatted on the stairs and nodded, "The room up there is blood all over it!" It's scary. ”

Lin Yehuo was curious, and went upstairs to see the scene.

Wang Dynasty Mahan came over with the little sixth son and the shopkeeper.

Zhan Zhao inquired about the incident.

Xiao Liuzi said that Bian Fangrui came to Taibaiju alone just now, asked for a private room and a pot of tea, and closed the door.

After waiting for about an hour, the guests in the lobby said that there was blood on the table, and everyone looked up and found that the floor was oozing blood. The guys rushed upstairs and opened the door to see, the scene inside was so miserable, several young men were scared and vomited, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked people to go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went upstairs together......

As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

On the second floor, the door of a private room to the north was open, and there were purple shadows and ochre shadows standing in the doorway, and there was a pool of blood and blood-colored footprints outside the threshold.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that something was not right, and jumped downstairs again.

Bai Yutang also frowned.

On the side, Zhao Pu asked him, "Did you notice something wrong?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

Listening downstairs, Zhanzhao asked the guy and the shopkeeper, "You just said that it was the floor slab that bleozed blood before you found the dead person on it?" ”

The man and the shopkeeper nodded, and their faces turned white.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the bloody footprints on the stairs and the lobby, "Then where did these come from?" ”

The shopkeeper shuddered, lowered his voice and said, "We haven't seen anyone walk out!" There were a lot of people in the lobby at that time! Those footprints appeared somehow! ”

Lin Yehuo leaned on the railing and asked, "Are you dazzled by the shopkeeper?" ”

Huo Feng just came out of the room after looking at the corpse, and felt a little disgusted, "That murderer should be covered in blood after killing someone, and then swaggered downstairs and went out from the main entrance, didn't you see any of you?" ”

A group of men and shopkeepers all shook their heads, and many of the diners present were also gathered nearby by the officials at this time, their heads shaking like rattles, and they didn't see anyone!

The shopkeeper asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Lord Zhan, what do you say...... Is this haunted? ”

The guys all nodded, "Look at that footprint!" It's about the size of a little old lady's footprints. ”

"Is that the female ghost asking for her life?"

"It's scary, how will I do business in the future?"

"The blue sky and the white day are still hitting ghosts?"

The guys and diners were talking, and by this time the strange story had already spread all over the city.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and frowned at the footprints on the ground, this is ......

"It's spiritualism."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke outside.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Bai Mutian, "It is also called illusion, and it requires extremely high internal force to control so many people at the same time." ”

Zhan Zhao's eyebrows raised slightly--what do you want to say?!

Upstairs, Bai Yutang also glanced at Bai Mutian, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

At the same time, I heard Bian Yan speak, his voice was very crisp, and the child's voice was also high, "In today's martial arts, there is only one person who can have such a soul dementorship......

Everyone in Gaohezhai turned their faces to look at Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao grinds his teeth - again? Bite you guys!

Sure enough, I saw Bian sneering, "Yin Hou." ”

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion frowned - Yin Hou, this is another arrow?

Bian Yan shook his head, "No wonder Kaifeng Mansion hasn't found the murderer for so long. ”

There was an instant silence all around.

Zhan Zhao's teeth were crushed - meow, I can't bear it!

……

"Sneeze ......"

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Hou, who was playing with Master Tianzun Wusha and Xiao Changtian, suddenly sneezed.

Tianzun touched a card and proposed, "After this round, let's go to Taibaiju for dinner?" I want to eat fried crab. ”

Yao Changtian and Master Wusha both nodded, Yin Hou rubbed his nose, why did his ears suddenly ......> so hot
