It's not that Xu Jing has never seen a dead person, but it is the first time that so many corpses with the same dead appearance appear in front of him.

"Xiaolian, let's go."

He didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and many of the people who came to see the excitement also looked at it, and then turned around in a panic and ran.

Those who insist on staying here are either those who are ordered to come to the government, or they are stupid hats who have no heart and lungs and are not afraid of death.

"The Tang family looks finished." Xiaolian pushed Xu Jing away, and said: "I don't know which master on the rivers and lakes did this, why haven't I heard the same thing before." ”

Rivers and lakes......

Xu Jing was in a heavy mood, thinking of the death of those people in the Tang Mansion, he fell silent and was stunned.

Xiaolian also stopped talking, silently pushed Xu Jing, and quickly returned to Xu's mansion.

At noon.

Xu Maozong, whose face was gloomy, hurried back from outside and plunged into the study.

Xu Maozong, as the county lieutenant of Guishuicheng, also saw the other party when Xu Jing went to the Tang Mansion to see the excitement in the morning, but there was the prefect present, and he was frightened, so he didn't go over to say hello.

Seeing the uncle coming back at this moment, Xu Jing immediately asked Xiaolian to push him to the study.

In the study, Xu Maozong was holding a brush and recording something in a book that Xu Jing had never seen before.

After seeing Xu Jing, he smiled reluctantly, took a miscellaneous book next to him, covered it on the book he had just recorded, and beckoned, "Jing'er." ”

"Xiaolian, you go outside and wait, I have something to say to my uncle." Xu Jing commanded.

Xiaolian walked out of the study with interest and closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Xu Maozong saw Xu Jing's serious look and asked.

Xu Jing took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, is the Tang family still alive?" ”

"What are you asking for?" Xu Maozong was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "Even the master and the hundred and seventy-six servants are all dead, and Miss Tang San has not been spared. ”

The Tang family, like the Xu family, is a first-class family in Guishui City, but compared to the Xu family, there are also many people who hold important positions in the city and like to marry other families.

Some time ago, Mrs. Tang and Xu Maozong mentioned that they wanted to marry the third lady to Xu Jing, but Xu Maozong did not decide on his own, and said that he wanted to ask Xu Jing what he meant.

And Xu Jing had seen Miss Tang San before, and his impression of her was not bad, and he did not object.

Xu Maozong originally wanted to settle the matter completely in a few days, but he didn't expect that what happened now.

He thought that Xu Jing was here for this matter, so he hurriedly comforted: "Jing'er, don't worry, Uncle will help you find a young lady after a while, and I guarantee that I am no worse than Miss Tang San." ”

Xu Jing was speechless, he really wasn't for this, so he shook his head and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean that." ”

He organized the language for a moment and continued: "I want to ask, is the matter of the Tang Mansion really man-made? ”

"Huh?" Xu Maozong's expression became serious, his brows furrowed, and he said a little nervously: "What do you know?" ”

"Sure enough!" Xu Jing's heart tightened, originally he was just suspicious, but now he has determined the answer.

In this world, there are really not only rivers and lakes.

The Tang Mansion is also a big family with nearly 200 people, and there are not a few guards and martial arts experts recruited among them, but they were wiped out overnight, and there was not even a single movement.

And everyone was still awake and frightened before they died, and the death was exactly the same, which didn't seem like a person in the rivers and lakes could do it.

Although Xu Jing does not practice martial arts, he also has some understanding of the martial arts level of people in the rivers and lakes, and as far as he knows, the strongest master is the same as the innate master he saw in the novel in his previous life.

Although it can kill people by flying flowers and picking leaves, it is still impossible to say that it is impossible to do the things of the Tang Mansion.

Xu Jing was a little helpless and said: "I'm not stupid, and I'm not like those ordinary people, who don't understand anything, how can they not see the problem." ”

Xu Maozong was silent for a long time before he said: "Jing'er, there are some things, if you know, it's better not to know, Uncle won't tell you, it's for your good." ”

"Uncle!" Xu Jing looked at Xu Maozong seriously, no longer spoke, his eyes were full of stubbornness, and he looked like he would not give up until he reached his goal.

Seeing him like this, Xu Maozong smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you bothering yourself? ”

Xu Jing said firmly: "I don't want to wait for the same thing to happen to me, but I don't know anything, and I don't even know the reason for my death in the end!" ”

After living in this world for six years, Xu Jing still had a sense of urgency for the first time, although he knew that he was not capable of changing anything at all, but he really didn't want to die miserably if something similar happened one day.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Maozong glared at Xu Jing fiercely.

Xu Jing sneered and said, "Uncle, I'm not a child anymore, tell me." ”

Xu Maozong pondered for a moment before he said: "Okay, as the heir of the Xu family, you have to know some things sooner or later anyway, since you insist, then the uncle won't hide it from you." ”

In fact, he felt sorry for Xu Jing in his heart, and originally wanted Xu Jing to live a few more years of ignorance and worry, but now he has no choice.

Regarding Xu Jing's stubbornness, Xu Maozong couldn't be clearer.

He stood up, walked to the bookcase, tapped a few times in the bottom compartment, and then pushed his hand in, and in a moment pulled out two quaint books.

Then Xu Maozong took out the book that had just been covered with miscellaneous books, handed it to Xu Jing and said: "Most of these are records of similar cases of the Tang family that your uncle and I have handled over the years, although most of them have no clue and are not resolved, but there are also a small number of people who have found out the truth." ”

Xu Jing took the book, didn't rush to look through it, and was going to take it back and read it slowly.

Xu Maozong didn't care, and after the two chatted casually for a while, Xu Jing shouted out Xiaolian loudly, ready to leave.

At this moment, he casually glanced at the desk, and said with a surprised face: "Uncle, what is that?" ”

"Huh this?" Xu Maozong picked up a blood-red stone on the side of the table and said, "I don't know what this is, it was found on the body of the eldest prince of the Tang family in the morning, I thought it might be some kind of clue, so I brought it back and prepared to study it." ”

As soon as Xu Jing saw this blood-red stone, he had a strange feeling, and he didn't understand why this happened, so he said, "Can you show me?" ”

"Yes." Xu Maozong pushed the stone in front of Xu Jing.

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment and grabbed the stone in his hand.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden explosion in his head, and then a strange syllable came from his mouth.

Although he had never heard of this kind of syllabic language, Xu Jing magically understood the meaning: "Do you absorb the energy that meets the energy that the system opens?" ”
