Chapter 10 The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, and the blue sky and the day are whipped on the corpse
"Everyone, long time no see!" Yi Shanhe strode over and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Yi came from afar, and the younger brother will have time to greet him in the future, which is really rude." Wan Fengchao took two steps in a row to meet him.
"Hey, that's too polite, Brother Wan, you're busy with the sword club here, it's very hard, not to mention that we have known each other for so many years, we don't need to be so polite!" Yi Shanhe said and reached out and patted Wan Fengchao's shoulder, "I just looked at it from a distance and it seems to be on fire?" ”
"Alas, this matter is a long story, you and I should go inside and talk about it", Wan Fengchao sighed, "If the other heads of the family have something, they can go and get busy first, and I will talk to Brother Yi about the matter." ”
Hearing this, the others also said that they still had something to explain to the disciples in the sect, so they dispersed first.
Yi Shanhe entered the council hall with Wanfengchao, Wanfengchao told Yi Shanhe about the matter again, Yi Shanhe was also very shocked, and repeatedly said that he would help Wanfengchao to ensure that the sword discussion would be carried out normally.
"Owner, the wing room on the west side has been cleaned up, and the owner of Yimen can take people to rest." Steward Wan walked in and reported to Wan Fengchao.
"Okay, then Brother Yi, I won't keep you, you have worked hard all the way, so hurry up and rest."
"Okay, I'll go rest first"
Wan Fengchao got up and sent Yi Shanhe away, turned his head and asked Steward Wan, "Lao Wan, how is the investigation?" ”
"Owner, although this fire looks a little strange, but I checked it and felt like an accident. This time the fire started from a small kitchen in the south, which had not been used for a long time, and this time it was deliberately opened because the large kitchen was really not enough. ”
Steward Wan recalled.
I asked Aunt Li, who was in charge of the kitchen, and she said that it was Huamei and Huatang who were in charge of the final tidying up at that time. Hua Mei and Hua Tang said that they had been busy at noon, and the two of them had only started to clean up before the fire, and they had not even confiscated the vegetable oil on the stove.
Hua Tang was carrying firewood outside, and he felt a little uncomfortable halfway and went to the thatched house first.
And when Huamei was cleaning up in the kitchen, a little apprentice from Yi Jianmen hurriedly called to help, and Huamei said that she would come back after thinking that Huatang would come back in a while, so she went to help first.
The fire started at this time, because the vegetable oil on the stove had not been confiscated, the fire in the stove had not been extinguished, and there was too much firewood piled up nearby, so the fire was relatively fierce after it was ignited.
When I investigated, I did find that the area near the stove was the most smoked and burned the most. ”
"So it's really possible that it was an accident?" Wan Fengchao asked suspiciously.
"Yes, not long after the fire, the candy rushed back, but there were just a few people nearby, so it was a little untimely to extinguish the fire", Steward Wan replied, "If it was a deliberate arson, we should have tried to delay the time, and we wouldn't have found out so quickly." ”
"Even so, we still have to be vigilant, lock the small kitchen, and then find two people to guard it, and the patrol in the Zhuangzi should also be strengthened, so as not to make any more mistakes."
"Yes, owner."
The atmosphere in the council hall of the Famous Sword Villa is a little heavy, and the rest of the place is full of tension before the battle.
After a while, the afternoon passed, and the atmosphere in the evening was not as relaxed as at noon, and there was no more big dinner in the Zhuangzi, so the meals were delivered to all rooms.
Like at noon, A-Yao still only ate two bites at random, and Mu Xuanling no longer persuaded her when she saw this. That's when someone knocked on the door outside.
"Is Miss Yao here?" This voice is a little familiar, and Ah Yao and Mu Xuanling also reacted quickly, the person outside the door should be the third son of Xie.
Ah Yao had a headache when she thought about it, but she couldn't stand the knocks outside the door, so she still stood up and opened the door.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Ah Yao really didn't even want to use an honorific title.
"I see that you don't use it very much at noon, I think it's unappetizing, I guess you won't eat much at night, so I'll go buy you something to eat", Xie Jue said and handed over the food box in his hand, "Zuixianglou's Babao chicken, hibiscus soup and steamed fish, I think you should like to eat it." ”
A-Yao was stunned for a moment, she has always been a bit picky eater, she has not eaten much when she goes out, and she is even more anorexic these days, so she eats a little less. Unexpectedly, Xie Jue found out, and the few dishes he brought were still appetizing to her, and I don't know how he figured it out.
Seeing that A-Yao didn't reach out to take the food box, Xie Jue directly stuffed the food box into her hand, "Go eat it, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”
As if he was afraid that A-Yao would return the food box to him again, he instantly jumped two meters away, and then waved his hand, "I'll go first, see you tomorrow." ”
Ah Yao looked at his back as he walked away, opened her mouth and still didn't say anything, and finally turned around silently and went back to the room.
Mu Xuanling looked at her and smiled, "This Gongzi Xie is really interested in you." ”
"Well, eat vegetables" Ah Yao hesitated for a moment, but still opened the food box.
Although Mu Xuanling is not picky, since someone has brought good dishes, he still won't stop eating them. The dishes from the Zuixianglou sent by Xie Jue are really good, and the two sisters have used a lot.
"Are you going to do it?" Mu Xuanling looked at Ah Yao's posture of packing up and asked.
"Well, it's just the right time." Ah Yao responded.
"Don't you want to wait for the night to be deep?" Mu Xuanling asked her with some doubts.
"The party will affect my rest." Ah Yao replied calmly.
Mu Xuanling looked at her, there was a little helplessness in her eyes, Ah Yao, this girl has to rest well even if the sky falls, "Then you go early and come back early." ”
"Okay," A-Yao replied and left.
Mu Xuanling looked at her blue clothes, thinking, is this really to do business, not to relax?
Ah Yao didn't know that her sister Mu still had this thought, of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't have any reaction, after all, Ah Yao never got distracted when she was doing business.
The route in the Zhuangzi Ah Yao walked through it when she came, and she already remembered it very clearly, plus the fire in the afternoon, Ah Yao calculated, if she was lucky, she didn't even have to go out of this yard to do everything.
Of course, A-Yao's luck has always been good, looking for someone, doing it, all in one go, and even the clothes on her body didn't get a few more pleats. The only thing that I wasn't very satisfied with was that I promised that the person what I wanted to do was conspicuous, so that the sky could look at it.
So in order to fulfill this request, Ah Yao had to stay in this room for a while, and then move on to the next step to make it all visible.
Early in the morning of the second day, the sky had just brightened slightly, and Wu Yufei, the eldest disciple of the Famous Sword Villa, took a few junior brothers and sisters to the martial arts field outside the village to check the situation in advance according to the previous arrangement in the village.
I thought that there would be no one in the martial arts field, but they were completely shocked when they saw the situation in the martial arts field.
There was a circle of villagers near the flagpole in front of the martial arts field, and they were still there to make a comparison. The group of disciples looked at each other and took a few more steps forward, only to find that there was a person tied to the pole. Although this person has been kicked and beaten by the villagers, and he has lost his human form, he can still barely recognize that this person is none other than Yi Shanhe, the master of Yi Jianmen.
"Master Yimen!" The group of disciples hurriedly rushed forward to push away the group of villagers. Wu Yufei was still a little calm, and hurriedly grabbed a little disciple and said, "Go and inform the owner." ”
The little disciple staggered back to the village to call someone.
This group of villagers probably vented for a long time, and their anger was almost out, so they didn't try to stop them. But there was an old lady who shouted, "You go and inform, the more people the better, come and see how this dog thing died!"
After a while, Wan Fengchao came, and on the way here, the little disciple stumbled over the matter. But seeing this scene, Wan Fengchao's heart sank even more, and he knew that it was broken.
Not only is the matter of buying murder completely confirmed, but the owner of Yimen was obviously whipped after his death, which is even more difficult to solve.
But Wanfengchao is the owner of a village after all, and after so many years of ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, he quickly calmed down and made up his mind.
"Yufei, you take someone to look at this group of villagers, don't let them run around."
Wan Fengchao called the eldest disciple to his side and instructed.
"Yes, Master", Wu Yufei thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to report this matter to the official?" ”
Although the rivers and lakes are in trouble, this matter involves the common people, and the government will not turn a blind eye.
"Don't report to the police first, otherwise it will be even more detrimental to us if things continue to develop."
Wan Fengchao thought in his heart that he must find out the murderer first, so that he could be regarded as having an explanation for Yi Jianmen, otherwise once the government intervened, it would be difficult to know the situation directly from this group of villagers. And if there is something hidden in this matter, and it is found out by the people of the government, I am afraid that it will even more burden the reputation of the famous Sword Villa.
"Zhang Wen, you go and tidy up the body of the master of Yimen first"
"Yes, Master."
The villagers didn't react much at first, but when they saw that they were about to put away the corpses, they became angry and rushed at them one by one to prevent them from taking the corpses away.
Although this group of villagers did not have kung fu on them, they were not the opponents of the disciples of the Famous Sword Villa, but the disciples of the Famous Sword Villa did not dare to really use swords and guns with them. After all, if you accidentally kill the villagers in this environment, you will definitely not be good afterward.
In this way, although the strength of the two sides is not equal, they are still deadlocked for a while.
In this stalemate, many fellow Jianghu people who participated in the Sword Discussion also came out of Zhuangzi and came here.
Seeing that this matter was going bad, Wan Fengchao jumped into the crowd with a flying body, holding a sword in his hand and not unsheathed, only secretly swept his internal strength, shaking everyone away. Then Wanfeng Chao quickly untied the rope on Yi Shanhe's body and put Yi Shanhe on the ground.
The disciple named Zhang Wen was also a little smart, and just seeing that the situation was deadlocked, he went to move the mat and wanted to cover Yi Shanhe with a mat first, which was just right to cover Yi Shanhe.
After this operation, the group of fellow Jianghu also approached.
