Chapter 76: The ghost hunchback died tragically
"Go and bring the ghost boss here!"
The housekeeper standing outside the door was just about to carry out Ouyang Zan's previous orders and track down the person who assassinated Huo Dashao, but he heard Ouyang Zan say another word to him at the door.
He didn't know anything about this kind of high-level decision-making, and he couldn't figure it out, servants like them didn't participate in the master's affairs, and the master's orders were just followed, so he answered and headed towards the back garden, the ghost's hunchback residence.
Huo Weicheng and the three elders in the living room, plus the city lord Ouyang Zan, the three of them didn't sit down, nor did they speak, they just stood straight, like a little poplar on the side of the road, straight and not inferior, and the sword was rattling.
After a while, the ghost walked in with a hunchback and a limp, one high and one low.
"Meet the city lord, I don't know what the city lord has to call the old slave to come?"
As soon as the ghost hunchback came in, he knelt down in the direction of Ouyang Zan, and at the same time, he also swept around the people in the room, the three elders of the Huo family he didn't know, but Huo Weicheng, who was assassinated by him but didn't die, he knew.
The ghost hunchback immediately understood that this was the end of life, kneeling humbly, a sadness welled up in his heart.
"The third elder of the Huo family has something to ask you, you answer truthfully, and you must not hide it!"
Ouyang Zan's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep, and his composure was a little too much.
In fact, he was more sober than anyone else, more nervous than anyone else, just pretending to be there, as soon as the ghost hunchback arrived at the door, he knew, and his mind was even tighter, although he couldn't see the change on his face, his hands were unsatisfactory, and his clenched fists oozed sweat drops, hitting the ground, and getting wet.
The three elders obviously found out, and deliberately smiled and looked at it again.
This blatant provocation, Ouyang Zan who watched it was furious, and as soon as he was out of control, the sweat drops were like heavy rain, ticking down.
"I don't know what Elder Huo San has to say?"
The voice of the ghost hunchback came slowly, but it relieved Ouyang Zan of his embarrassment.
He spoke very slowly, weak, no longer as domineering as usual, since the last time in the Lin family, he was abolished by Qingluan and cultivated, his whole person has also aged a lot, plus the hunchback and injured leg, it looks very pitiful.
"I didn't expect that the ghost hunchback who was in the limelight back back then would be mixed up like this, no one is a ghost, no ghost is not a ghost!"
Elder Huo San was originally looking at the pattern of sweat gathered together caused by Ouyang Zan's nervousness, but when he suddenly heard the pale voice of the ghost hunchback, he was a little surprised, and he didn't ask directly, but gloated and mocked.
It's no wonder that Elder Huo San fell into the well, it's really too hateful for the ghost hunchback, thinking about the disasters caused back then, I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights, rape and plunder, theft and murder, etc., even the young children and the old people don't let go, and what's even more infuriating is that their Huo family was also one of the victims back then.
At that time, the head of the Huo family spent one-third of their Huo family's property through the relationship of his wife Bai family to buy a Juyuan Dan, ready to break through the emperor, but was snatched away by the ghost hunchback on the way to transportation.
"What the old man looks like, I don't need to care about Elder Huo San. ”
The ghost hunchback broke the jar and fell, it's already like this, how bad can it be, it's a big deal, he is not even afraid of death, what else is there to scruple about.
At that time, if he hadn't been useful to the City Lord's Mansion, coupled with his gratitude to Ouyang Zan for his kindness, maybe he would have ended his life the moment he was deposed.
Now as soon as he heard that the third elder of the Huo family was neither yin nor yang there, he stood up directly and glared at the third elder Huo angrily.
That terrifying momentum, although there was no blessing of cultivation, but the murderous aura was soaring, and the killing intent was condensed, like a steel knife, inserted into the heart of Elder Huo San, and the frightened Elder Huo San was silent, and the fright was not weaker than before Ouyang Zan, and he was also in a cold sweat.
"Why did you kill me?"
Huo Weicheng saw that the three elders did not speak, so he stood up and asked.
He didn't feel any substantial killing intent, so he didn't know what the third elder was going through, looking at the third elder's face, he thought that he was letting him deal with it himself, he was already full of confidence, and now that he had the opportunity, how could he not show it!
The ghost hunchback used to be the king in the end, and he has killed countless people, even if he is abolished and cultivated, that ruthlessness and killing intent cannot be ignored, and he has no cultivation to support, so he can only release killing intent against one person, otherwise he Huo Weicheng will speak, I am afraid that he would have been scared a long time ago.
"When, you saw me kill you!"
Although the ghost hunchback knew that he would not survive, but for the sake of the City Lord's Mansion, he still had to quibble, as long as the Huo family could not produce substantial evidence, he would not be afraid, at least it would not involve the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hehe, do you think quibbles are useful?"
Huo Weicheng had long expected that the ghost hunchback would quibble, this is also human nature, he glanced at Ouyang Zan with a smile, the smiling eyes kept changing, and they were as steady as Mount Tai, as if they were watching a joke in the City Lord's Mansion.
"As long as you can come up with evidence, I will be arrested and will never resist, but if there is no evidence, then I am embarrassed, where did I come from!"
The ghost hunchback asked himself if he was not exposed in front of the Huo family, the only flaw was that the ghost knife was exposed, but the knife was a weapon that was not used by him, so there was nothing that was not exposed.
"Hmph! Everyone saw the person who assassinated me, using your ghost knife, you are actually talking nonsense with your eyes open, you have the ability to take out your two murderous ghost knives!"
Huo Weicheng was a little angry, he had an urge to do it, the evidence was already in front of him, and he still didn't admit it, if Uncle Yu of the Huo family was here, he would have split the ghost hunchback with one palm, and he wouldn't let him mess around here.
"The ghost knife is ruined, you should have seen it, and what does a knife say?"
Sure enough, he used the ghost knife to talk about things, how could he not be prepared, but as he said, at that time, in the Lin family, in front of the public, he was ruined by Qingluan, which was obvious to all, and it was not his quibble.
"Haha, as long as it's not broken, I have a way to prove it, you don't know yet, our Huo family is not so easy to kill......"
Huo Weicheng laughed, when the ghost hunchback killed their guards in Qinglong Street, Huo Weicheng knew that the ghost hunchback didn't know what to do.
At that time, among the guards, there were a few people who were collateral members of their Huo family, and their Huo family, whether they were direct or collateral, were planted with soul marks at birth, and this mark had two functions, one was to play the role of defense and protection, and the other was to supervise and prevent betrayal.
In fact, this method of marking is very common in the major families in the imperial capital.
As soon as Huo Weicheng said this, Ouyang Zan and the ghost hunchback immediately understood, and the two glanced at each other at the moment when Huo Weicheng and the three elders were proud.
Ouyang Zan read the farewell in the eyes of the ghost hunchback, he knew very well, not to mention that it had been planned before, and in the end, the ghost hunchback would have to be sacrificed.
Although it had been decided before, at this moment of farewell, Ouyang Zan felt a kind of pity, a little unbearable, and secretly hated himself for not being angry, if he cultivated to the realm of the emperor, he would not be forced to sacrifice his right-hand man!
Thinking of the mutual rescue back then, Ouyang Zan burst into tears, without the ghost hunchback, he Ouyang Zan would have died on the top of the snowy mountain long ago; without him Ouyang Zan, the ghost hunchback would have died under the pursuit of others.
From the time the two met to the present, there have been a lot of things, almost more than 20 years, it is impossible to say that there is no true love, but then again, the master and servant have done this, and there is nothing that cannot be abandoned.
Ouyang Zan secretly decided that when he became strong in the future, he must eradicate the Huo family and avenge the ghost hunchback, and he would not show mercy.
"Just watch it if you want!"
The ghost hunchback adjusted his mood in an instant, and saw his right hand slash forward, and a black, handleless knife appeared in front of everyone.
The blade is dull, losing its former sharpness, hanging in the air and trembling, as if greeting the master, and as if asking the master for help, incomplete, lonely and gloomy, worse than the master's ghost hunchback.
Huo Weicheng disagreed, looked at the broken knife in the air, and looked disgusted.
Elder Huo San was just the opposite, his eyes were shining, his eyes were staring directly at the ghost knife that was summoned by the ghost hunchback, and his eyes were fascinated, as if he had seen a beautiful woman, and his unbearable look was almost drooling.
"I didn't expect it! It turned out to be a spiritual weapon, looking at this spiritual sense, the grade is definitely not low!"
Elder Huo San was secretly happy, he had already put the ghost knife under his name in his heart, and that greedy look was as if the ghost knife was already his treasure, and he had forgotten to return, looking at it like this, I am afraid that he had forgotten the purpose of coming here.
Just as Elder Huo San stretched out his hand forward, about to grab the ghost knife, the ghost knife suddenly shone brightly, as if it was against the master, and headed towards the ghost hunchback's neck.
This change was too fast, and everyone's eyes were focused on the ghost knife, so there was no chance to save the ghost hunchback.
Blood was sprinkled all over the floor of the living room, and the tables and chairs near the ghost hunchback were even more dyed red, and the ghost hunchback's head was directly cut off and rolled towards the door, and at the same time, the ghost knife flew towards the door.
Elder Huo San saw that the ghost knife was about to flee after devouring the master, so he hurriedly flew in pursuit, and grabbed towards the ghost knife regardless of the image, but he was still a step slow, and the ghost knife disappeared at the door with a flash of black light.
Huo Weicheng was dumbfounded, he never thought that it was so dangerous for Xingshi to ask for guilt, a tattered knife, and such power, which directly subverted his cognition, he had seen spiritual weapons, and their Huo family also had several.
But it was the first time he had seen the spirit weapon that had flown away against his master.
From this, the ghost knife is not more powerful than the treasure of their Huo family's town!
