The night was dark, and a corpse hung from a tree branch.

Yuan He screamed strangely, and was about to step forward to check, but was stopped by Tang Yun.

Tang Yun said: "Fire! ”

Everyone lit the torches, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.

The corpse was indeed Sun Ying, his eyes were wide open, his tongue was sticking out of his mouth, and his face was hideous.

Tang Yun walked around from the side and checked Sun Ying's situation. He was dead, his body stiffened in the cold wind.

Tang Yun squatted on the ground, there was a lot of sand and soil near here, which was blown by the wind. There was some dirt beside the tree, and two footprints could be seen leading to the bottom of the tree.

This tree is surrounded by mud, and if you walk over, you will definitely get mud on your feet. So normal people rarely come to that and so on.

On both sides of the tree, two sets of footprints were found. One is compared, and the other is Sun Ying's footprints.

And the other set of footprints, the traces are a bit like official boots. Tang Yun called Yuan He and asked his shoes to compare with his footprints, which were very consistent in terms of size and shape.

Yuan He's face changed suddenly: "Lord Tang, I have been staying in my own house and have not gone out." ”

Tang Yun waved his hand: "Yuan Shilang don't need to be nervous, this is just a preliminary investigation." These boots don't have to be this man's, or a monster's. ”

Jing Liang searched Sun Ying's body and said, "He was dead before he hanged himself, and we found a fatal wound on his body, as if it were ...... It's a cat's paw print. ”

Tang Yun checked Sun Ying's injuries, turned to Yuan He and said, "Yuan Shilang, it seems that this monster really wants to kill you. You will go to the house first, and I will send someone to guard your house. ”

Wonhyuk was sweating profusely and muttered, "That monster...... Won't kill me, will you? ”

Tang Yun said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but I will send someone to keep an eye on your house for twelve hours." When that monster reappears, we'll act as soon as possible. ”

Won Hyuk shook his head, he was still afraid. Tang Yun said in a deep voice, this is the biggest limit that the Demon Hunting Division has done.

Won Hyuk left dejectedly, he didn't even care about the death of his nephew, and he didn't propose to take the body from the tree, so he just left.

When Yuan He left, Tang Yun specially called Jing Liang and explained some things to him.

Jing Liang said: "My lord, it seems that Yuan Shilang is being targeted by an evil demon, should we take him to the yamen for protection?" ”

Tang Yun shook his head: "No." Since Yuan Shilang has no relatives in the capital, he thinks that the monster will attack his wife and children. We don't need to send people, open the city gate tomorrow morning, and Yuan Shilang will definitely ask his subordinates to find his wife and children. You just have to keep an eye on Yuan Shilang and see who he meets and what he says every day. ”

Jing Liang said: "What if he deliberately hides it from me? ”

"It's okay, I'll send two sentinels, one bright and one dark. You do the dark, believing that with your latent skills, he will not be aware of it. If Na Won Hyuk is really in danger, you will help him. If the youkai doesn't mean to harm him, just keep waiting. ”

Jing Liang asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" ”

Tang Yun had already walked out of the alley, and when he heard Jing Liang's words, he turned his head and said, "Monsters don't harm people for no reason, there must be something hidden here." ”

The one who sent someone to guard the Yuan Mansion was a soldier nicknamed "Wood". Like his name, he has a wooden expression and is not good at words.

Yuan He specially explained that he had to serve this master well, and his little life was in the hands of the group of people in the Demon Hunting Division.

The butler gave the bounty to the wood, and the wood took it into his arms, and then continued to stand straight and guard.

This is also what Tang Yun explained in advance, you will take whatever you give. As long as you protect Yuan Shilang.

Wood can remember not many words, but these two sentences are memorized.

When Yuan Hyuk heard the housekeeper say that the other party had collected the money, he immediately put his heart down. Maybe it's the mental effect, and the feeling of being on your back has disappeared since then.

Gradually, Yuan Hyuk put this matter behind him, and just wrote a letter to his sister, saying that his nephew had suffered a tragic accident in the capital and asked her to mourn and change.

Just as Won Hyuk was about to finish writing the letter, the outside door suddenly opened.

"Master, this is the soup I prepared for you, you can taste it." A timid voice came from outside, and Frost's figure burst in from the outside.

Won Hyuk's brow, which had been frowning, suddenly relaxed.

He had secretly investigated this frost, and it seemed that he had come out of a small theater in a county town.

For a girl like her, Yuan He has already figured out her thoughts, and she is nothing more than looking for a powerful backer in the capital.

And Shuang'er is also very obedient, and has always been very obedient, like a submissive little daughter-in-law.

Yuan Hyuk decided to marry Shuang'er back as a concubine.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of anxious footsteps outside. The butler's voice came from outside: "Master, Madam and Young Master, they have news!" ”

Yuan He hurriedly stood up, and realized that Shuang'er was still beside him, so he said, "Shuang'er, you go back first, and I'll call you later." ”

After Shuang'er left, the housekeeper ran in happily and said, "Master, the people sent out have caught up with the lady and the young master." ”

Yuan Hyuk hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

The housekeeper stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, master, when we arrived, the young master just wanted to play in the Western Capital for a while, so they are still staying in the Western Capital." The lady and the young master were fine, not even the cat. ”

As soon as Yuan He heard that his wife and children were fine, he relieved himself and said with a smile: "That bastard boy knows how to play, but fortunately they are in the city." You go and send more people to make sure that they are both safe. ”

The housekeeper said: "Sir, don't worry, I have found the most famous martial artist in the Western Capital, and there will definitely be no danger." ”

Won Hyuk was satisfied, he felt that the monster was not a big deal.

I thought it had the ability to take people's lives thousands of miles away, but now that I look at it, it's just a scare.

What's more, the box of silver, the monster didn't take it, and Yuan Hyuk despised the monster even more in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yuan He casually took the hot soup sent by Shuang'er just now, and there were shredded chicken and wolfberries floating in it, steaming and fragrant.

Won Hyuk poured the chicken broth directly into his stomach.

After drinking, Yuan Hyuk wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you go back ......"

His eyes widened suddenly, and his whole body twitched uncontrollably.

Won Hyuk clutched his throat and fell to the ground, struggling to breathe in the air. His face changed at a rapid pace, and at last he blushed and looked at the butler with a pleading look.

The butler's smile gradually became hideous.

He suddenly kicked Yuan He's hand to the side, and said with a cruel smile: "You and your wife and children, go to reunite below!" ”
