Chapter 36: Murder

Looking at Liu Xiaohu's menacing back, Yun Yu couldn't help frowning.

"I didn't expect this Liu Xiaohu to dare to deal with Taishi's people so blatantly."

"Naturally, it's backed by a tree." Lord Fang looked expected.

After hitting a wall, several people returned to their residences.

In the mansion of Xie Yuntao, the eighth hall master of the Zhisheng Hall, Liu Xiaohu's face was full of anger.

"Thank you, Master! No matter how I interrogate Zhao Minzhuo, he just won't say anything! ”

"Have you been tortured?"

"Used! After fifty lashes, Zhao Minzhuo, an old stubborn, is afraid of beating him to death with heavy punishment! I can't even find the list! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, try slowly. As long as people are in our hands, we are not afraid that we will not be able to judge it. ”

"By the way, Hall Master Xie, when the official went out today, he met Fang Xiancheng. It looks like they came to my house on purpose. This Lord Fang is a lackey by Zhao Minzhuo's side, and he has never been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the lower officials are worried that he has found some clues! ”

"A small county is not to be feared."

Xie Yuntao didn't care, and drank tea calmly.

"Fang Xiancheng also brought two people from the King of Kyoto with him."

"The people of the prince? This is interesting......" Xie Yuntao narrowed his eyes, "Then how do you deal with it?" ”

"Two yellow-haired children, the lower officials sent them away at will."

"Keep an eye on those two people, and you can't make a mistake during the critical period."

"Yes! The subordinate obeys the order! ”

After Liu Xiaohu led the people away, a person walked out from behind the screen.

"Zhao Minzhuo has been a county magistrate for decades, and there is only one Fang County Cheng under his command, and it is said that this Fang County Cheng has been investigating since Zhao Minzhuo's disappearance."

A bland and gentle voice.

"It's a small county, and I don't know any high-ranking officials and ministers, so I can't set off any storms."

"He can't lift it, someone can, Qingyue has already sent someone to the capital."

"If the young master is not at ease, he will send someone to secretly kill this county."

"Be clean."

"Don't worry, you won't leave any traces."

After returning to his residence, Yun Yu told Yun Xin and the others about the wall in front of Liu's mansion.

"It seems that head-on contact won't work, but fortunately we went to Lord Zhao's study and found a little clue!"

Yun Xin's mysterious appearance.

"Have you been to the study? What was found? Yun Feng asked impatiently.

"The study has been sealed by the inspectors, but Yiyan and I sneaked in to avoid the guards and check if there were any missing clues in the study, and sure enough, there was a new discovery!"

Yun Xin couldn't hide his happiness.

"That's right, there is a mess in the study, and there is basically nothing of value, but in the gap under the desk, we found this, I think it should have been accidentally scratched by a wooden thorn in the corner of the desk when I went on a mission."

Yiyan spread out his palm, and everyone looked at it, and it was a golden strip of cloth half a finger long.

"It looks familiar," Yun Yu said.

"It's Zhishengtang!" Yun Yu suddenly realized, "Yes, I remember, when the guards of Songyang Order are on mission, they will be dressed in black and masked, and a golden ribbon will be sewn on the handle of the weapon!" Use it to distinguish the enemy! I saw it when I was looking for Yunxin's little sister in the cave! ”

"Sure enough, it's the people from the Zhisheng Hall who are playing ghosts!" Yun Feng said, "Then what should we do now, go to Xie Yuntao from the Zhisheng Hall?" ”

Yun Feng looked impatient, and it seemed that he would be able to rescue Lord Zhao and complete the task immediately.

"Never!" Lord Fang opened his mouth and said, "Even if you have this cloth, it won't mean anything, Xie Yuntao won't admit it, and Lord Zhao may not be hiding in Xie Yuntao's mansion, if we go so rashly, we will startle the snake!" ”

Yun Fan nodded, "Yes, since we have found the right direction, let's follow this clue to investigate, they are outnumbered, it is best to secretly rescue Lord Zhao." ”

Lord Fang smiled and bowed, "You sons have worked hard today, let's rest early, after all, we have some gains, and we will find a way to find out Lord Zhao's location tomorrow." ”

Yun Fan returned the salute, "Lord Fang will also rest early tonight." ”

Then the rear lord left the blue-tiled house and walked in the direction of his house.

At night, there are no people on the streets of Chaodu County, except for a few inns and restaurants with lights on.

Walking on the road, you can hear the barking of wild dogs from time to time.

This group of people is really very reliable, and on the first day they arrived in the imperial capital, they had eyebrows, and they no longer had to investigate alone.

Thinking of this, Lord Fang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his steps became brisk.

However, two figures flashed in the dark corners of the alley.

In the moonlight, the golden ribbon on the hilt of the knife was very visible.

Master Fang walked through the alleys, and his house was in front of him.

But suddenly I heard two "whoosh" sounds, and someone seemed to fly quickly behind him.

Master Fang sensed that something was wrong, so he immediately quickened his pace and trotted up! Lord Fang didn't dare to turn back, he was afraid that the danger behind him would be difficult for him to deal with, and now he just wanted to rush back to the mansion as soon as possible!

Two figures followed like ghosts!

Soon! It's only five steps away from the house! Lord Fang had already stretched out his hand to reach the vermilion gate!

However, a cold light flashed in front of him!

Master Fang stopped...... It felt like I was being sealed and I couldn't move, and then warm liquid gushed out from my neck and mouth!

Master Fang subconsciously wanted to touch it with his hands, but he couldn't do it and fell down heavily!

One of the men in black probed Lord Fang's snort with his hand.

"Dead."

The other nodded, and the two figures disappeared into the night.

………………

On the second day, the news of Lord Fang's tragic death spread all over the streets and alleys.

Yun Xin's shocked body trembled when he heard Sun Zhengping tell the news that Lord Fang had been blocked by a sword.

“………… How can this be............"

Yiyan saw Yun Xin's reaction and felt that this girl must have been frightened.

Yun Luo held Yun Xin's hand and comforted him.

"It must be Lord Fang's secret investigation into Lord Zhao's disappearance that angered the Zhisheng Hall." Yun Fan said.

"Lord Fang's investigation alone didn't arouse the vigilance of the Zhisheng Hall before, but now the Zhisheng Hall should have received some news, thinking that Lord Fang's presence may affect the overall situation, so it must be eliminated."

"Could it be that someone who knows that our Qingyue is here and avoids Lord Fang's contact with us......

Yun Xin faintly felt that the matter of asking Lord Fang to take his senior brother to see Liu Xiaohu yesterday had alarmed the Zhisheng Hall, and he felt guilty.

"Silly girl, don't think about it, the most important thing now is to rescue Lord Zhao, this is also Lord Fang's wish!" A word of comfort.

"Now we can't go out together, a group of people on the street is too eye-catching, it's better to spread out." Yun Feng said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lord Fang's death sounded the alarm for everyone, if you want to retreat from this Longtan Tiger's Den, you must take every step cautiously and solidly.
