Chapter 401: Full Moon Scimitar Masked Man
The cut marks on the iron bar reminded Wang Laohu of the full moon scimitar, and the full moon scimitar, Wang Laohu had indeed seen it in the stockade.
The masked man?
Could it be that the masked man is still in the stockade?
What does it mean that the masked man is hiding in the stockade while our people have not found out? It is very likely that this person is a person who is familiar to the Tujia, and if so, the situation is much worse.
Who exactly is this masked killer?
Hou Ping set up such a chess piece in the stockade, which really made Wang Laohu feel that Hou Ping was not as simple as he imagined.
"Old Patriarch, I now suspect that the masked killer from before is a member of our Tu family, and he has always been by our side."
Of course, Buni didn't believe Wang Laohu's words: "You mean that there are Hou Ping's people in our Tujia family?" ”
"The cut marks on your cage are in the shape of this, and it's likely that they were left by the weapon used by the masked man who assassinated me earlier." Wang Laohu said, "His purpose this time is very likely to assassinate Lu." ”
Jiang Pei walked over and said, "Tiger God, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Hearing this, Wang Laohu felt a little uneasy, "Patriarch, it's time now, what else do you have to hide." ”
"Today we heard some words that are unfavorable to the Tiger God, I don't know if these are true?" Jiang Pei finally said what was in his heart.
At this time, his words were neither believing nor disbelieving, he wanted the tiger god to tell himself, or to verify it.
Luo Yuyi also looked at Wang Laohu nervously, because she knew about this matter, but she didn't know the specific details very well, so she also wanted to hear his explanation clearly.
"Sister-in-law Gui, I did go there today." Wang Laohu said.
As soon as these words came out, the Tujia people gathered around the scene let out a sigh. This sigh seems to confirm that the things that are circulating in Tujia Village are true.
"And I did give Sister-in-law Gui some money." Wang Laohu did not deny it, "Since the white tiger injured the child, I can't escape responsibility." Now the child is still in a coma, so I went to visit and asked Sister-in-law Gui to buy some things that the child likes to eat, which is human nature. I don't know why it changes when I'm out there. ”
"Since that's the case, why didn't the Tiger God come out to explain it today?" Craftsman said.
"There are some things that need to be explained, and those who are clear will clear themselves. If you still have any doubts about my Wang Laohu's character, I will not stand here so openly. Wang Laohu said.
"Even if we believe that what you said is true, how can we explain the White Tiger's escape? Just by a few marks on this iron bar, you can say that it is the cut mark of the full moon scimitar, and this trace, in my opinion, also looks like the trace of other weapons, such as the two-step halberd. Craftsman said.
The two-step halberd is Li Tian's weapon, what does Jiang Pei mean by this?
Of course, Wang Laohu understood that Jiang Pei was saying that Wang Laohu ordered Li Tian to come and release him.
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that? Do you want to say that I deliberately let it go? Li Tian said.
"Li Tian, Hugh is rude!" Wang Laohu said, "If you say it, then how can the ground and the blood stains be explained?" ”
"These are things that can be faked. Besides, whether there is a trace of tiger blood on the ground, we can't be sure. Craftsman said.
"Abba, how can you say that about the Tiger God? The Tiger God has helped us so much, but you are suspicious of him everywhere. Luo Yuyi said.
"I'm talking about things on a case-by-case basis, the things that are circulating in the village today, and the escape of the white tiger tonight, all kinds of evidence can show that the tiger god arranged everything, and he wants to be guilty of the crime." Craftsman said.
"We can't make a conclusion until this matter is cleared." Bunney Road.
The person hiding behind seemed to have used a scheming, and had already thought about the next few steps, allowing Wang Laohu to step into the circle by himself. If you want to clear Wang Laohu's suspicion, find out the masked man behind this scene.
And where is this masked man now?
Wang Laohu felt the seriousness of the matter, and originally thought it was an groundless rumor, but only now did he feel this person's scheming.
"Old patriarch, what Patriarch Jianpei said is right, judging from the matter, I am the biggest suspect, and I can't come up with decent evidence to prove that I didn't put it." Wang Laohu said.
At this time, another Tujia family shouted: "Patriarch, patriarch! ”
With such a panicked voice, could it be that something happened again?
A Tujia woman stumbled over, saw Jiang Pei and said, "Patriarch, I just came from Sister-in-law Gui, and her child ...... Child...... No more. ”
"What? What did you say? Craftsman asked again.
"Sister-in-law Gui's child is dying, Lang Zhong is showing the child?"
Such news was simply extremely bad news, and Wang Laohu immediately rushed to Gui's sister-in-law's residence. Wang Qingqing, Li Tianhe, and personal guards followed closely.
When Wang Laohu rushed to Sister-in-law Gui's residence, Lang Zhong happened to come out of the room, "Lang Zhong, how is the child?" ”
Lang Zhong shook his head and said, "Tiger God, this kid is out of breath." ”
Out of gas? Wang Laohu's head exploded all at once.
Sister-in-law Gui's heart-rending cry came from the room, which was a mother's cry for her child's departure.
Jiang Pei and others also arrived, and when they heard such a cry, they also knew that things were not good.
Luo Yuyi looked at Wang Laohu at the door, and said to the craftsman: "Abba, I'll go in and see if there is anyone who needs help." ”
At the moment of entering the door, Luo Yuyi and Bu Tian glanced at Wang Laohu outside the room.
Wang Qingqing said: "Childe, what now?" ”
Jiang Pei said: "Tiger God, the child has just passed away, and Sister-in-law Gui has just been in grief, so it is not appropriate for you to appear at this time." I think we'll wait a while. ”
Wang Laohu was a little tired from tonight's succession, and when he heard what Jiang Pei said, he had no choice but to respond: "What the patriarch said is reasonable, at this time, Sister-in-law Gui is in pain, and it is more appropriate for me not to enter than to go in." ”
Buni said: "That's okay, Tiger God, what happened tonight, let's go back and think about it, where is the problem?" ”
"Old patriarch, let's say goodbye." Wang Laohu bid farewell to the leaders.
"Old patriarch, what do you think about this matter?" When Jiang Pei saw Wang Laohu leaving, he asked.
"The Tiger God helped us, how can we speculate. He had visited the child during the day, and perhaps he already knew that the child's condition was not satisfactory. Bunney said.
Seeing that it was locked up, and that the child's condition had become like this, he was afraid that he would be besieged by the villagers, so he came to release the tiger in the middle of the night. And that makes sense. Craftsman said.
"I know you're also thinking about the stockade, but it's just our speculation, and there's no real evidence. Let the clansmen go up the mountain overnight to search for the whereabouts of the white tiger. Bunney said.
"What the elder brother said is reasonable, this hurtful white tiger will be a scourge sooner or later. It's better to find it overnight and hunt it down. Craftsman said.
"Craftsman, don't forget, this white tiger is the mount of the tiger god, and it won't be our turn to kill it." Bunney reminded.
"But it's a brute, and now it's killing Sister-in-law Gui's child, so this account must be calculated."
"Yes, but not now. The White Tiger also gave us a lot of strength, and this matter was driven out of Hou Ping, and then let the leaders discuss and make a decision. Bunney said.
Wang Laohu asked Wang Qingqing and Li Tian to go back to rest. When he returned to the house, he thought back to what happened tonight, but he still insisted on his judgment, there was someone behind this who was making trouble in Tujiazhai.
Before dawn, Wang Laohu was awakened by a strong knock on the door. "Childe, Childe. The big thing is not good, Duanmu's people are attacking the Thirteen Villages again. ”
Hearing such a shout, Wang Laohu got up from the bed with a bone. He barely slept last night, as if Duanmu knew that the village was very lively last night, and he seized such an opportunity to attack the village.
In no hurry to wash up, Wang Laohu put on his clothes, took the purple beast sword, and rushed to the conference hall.
"Patriarch, how is the situation now?" Before Wang Laohu stepped into the council hall with his front feet, he asked Jiang Pei.
"Tiger God, come, come." Jiang Pei beckoned Wang Laohu to sit down first.
"Time waits for no one, hurry up and tell me how the situation is?" Wang Laohu continued to ask.
"Duanmu's men and horses are already less than five miles away from the stockade, and they seem to be very fierce." Craftsman said.
Five miles? Duanmu's men and horses are already five miles away from the village, and there is no time to think about it at such a distance, and Duanmu will soon reach the outside of the village.
"Time waits for no one, we must immediately organize personnel to prepare for battle." Wang Laohu said, "How many people are here in Duanmu?" ”
"Judging from this team, there will be no less than 20,000 horses." Craftsman said.
