I was stunned, and then I hurried over there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm fast, and the shadow isn't slow.

By the time I reached the corner, the shadow had leapt into the courtyard to the west, ready to climb the wall.

I knew I couldn't catch up with him, so I shouted, "There are thieves!" On the courtyard wall of the West Courtyard! Catch the thief! "At the same time, I ran towards the stargazing platform on the top floor, because I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The Taoist priest guarding there heard the shout and hurried towards the base of the wall.

But when they came to the base of the wall, there was still the shadow of a thief.

I knocked on the door again, but when there was still no response, I kicked it open.

The wooden door slammed open, and a strong smell of blood came to my nose.

I looked at it, and I was stiff.

I saw Zhang Moran slumping on the couch, with a short knife stuck in his chest, and one eye straight up against the night sky.

With a cry of sorrow, I threw myself to his side, stretched out my trembling fingers and probed his muzzle, nose and veins, and found that he was completely lifeless.

"Master Zhang! Who did it? Who did it! ”

It's a pity that no matter how I shake it, Zhang Moran won't wake up again.

A cold wind swept in through the open door, and I felt a thrill in my body, and I calmed down, and I couldn't help but think back to the dark shadow I had seen at the corner of the cloister.

Zhang's martial arts can't find an opponent in the entire Heavenly Master's Mansion, even if he is seriously injured at the moment, it is definitely not something that ordinary disciples can hurt, and judging from the situation where the black shadow escaped, Xiu Wei seems to be in the middle of the battle with Zhang.

Could it be that one of the elders killed Zhang?

Who is that man?

My gaze fell on the short knife on Zhang Moran's chest, and cold sweat broke out.

This knife is no one else's, it is the one I carry with me. I've been busy practicing these days, and I've been resting on the bedside table, but I didn't expect it to be stolen to make a murder weapon! Actually, it's not that I'm too careless, it's just that no one would expect such a tragedy to happen in this blessed land.

I subconsciously pulled out my short knife and accidentally got covered in the splash of blood.

How did his own short knife end up here?

In the midst of his thoughts, a noisy sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door.

I jerked back to see a middle-aged woman in her forties leading the way. Although she is not pretty, she is very dignified and her figure is maintained very well, not losing to girls in her twenties.

This person is none other than Lin E, the wife of Zhang.

Most of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are Huoju Taoist priests, and they can get married and have children, just like the position of the head of the family, which is inherited within the Zhang family. Zhang Moran has practiced since childhood, and only married Lin E, who was still young, when he was in his fifties, and gave birth to a son and a daughter after marriage, both of whom studied in the provincial capital.

I wanted to step forward to explain a few words, but I found that the Taoist priests behind Mrs. Zhang were all pointing their swords at her, with an angry and incredulous expression.

I couldn't help but throw away the short knife in my hand and said in a daze, "No, it's not me." ”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red and she reprimanded angrily: "Mo Ran has no grudges with you in the past, and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to do this?" "As he spoke, he was going to go into the house and fight with me.

The Taoist priests hurriedly grabbed her, and then rushed into the house and surrounded me.

I frowned and said, "Mrs. Zhang, Master Zhang is so good to me, why should I kill him?" Listen to me! ”

Mrs. Zhang said, "Okay, you say! ”

I told the story as it was, and everyone had a look of disbelief after hearing it.

Mrs. Zhang looked back at several Taoist priests guarding the West Courtyard, "What he said is true?" ”

A Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and finally replied, "In reply to Mrs. Zhang, Mr. Li did shout to us in the cloister that there was a thief intruding. We immediately rushed over to check, but there was no sign of the thief. ”

I hurriedly said, "That man is so fast that by the time you pass, he has already run away!" ”

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "It may also be that you are a thief shouting to catch a thief!" ”

I didn't care about the courtesy, and said loudly: "If I killed Zhang, I could have walked away after the murder, why did I shout and call others?" ”

An elder said coldly, "Can you run?" I thought it was in ancient times, but now that the Internet is so developed, if you run away, you will only be wanted by the whole country, like a mourning dog. If you don't run, you want to clear your suspicion! As he spoke, he picked up the short knife from the ground and sneered, "This short knife is not a thing of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. As long as it is handed over to the Public Security Bureau, you can know who the murderer is. ”

I smiled wryly: "This short knife is mine, and it has my fingerprints on it, but this handle does not mean that I am the murderer." ”

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You don't admit yourself? Listen to what you say, who else is the murderer not you? Vain Moran trusts you so much, I have been mentioning you in my ears for the past few days, and I even mentioned that I wanted to pass on the position of head to you during my lunch break today, but I didn't expect you to be such a person! ”

What the? Zhang Zhangmen actually has this idea?

You must know that the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has not passed on foreign surnames for generations, so making such an exception is really much beyond my expectations, is it because of the Qingwei Thunder Method that I performed in the morning? Could it be that Zhang's meeting with me overnight was just for this matter?

In fact, I have no interest in the position of the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and I don't need him to speak, I also plan to return to him the Qingwei Thunder Law that has been lost in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for a hundred years, so why bother?

Looking at this short knife, I felt a pain in my heart, and said in a deep voice: "My house is usually not locked, everyone in the Heavenly Master's Mansion can go in and steal this short knife at will, and then blame me." That doesn't mean anything at all! ”

"Still quibbling!" Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her face turned pale, and she commanded the disciples: "Up! Take him down for me! ”

I have a very easy-going personality, and I have gotten along well with these disciples for a few days, and I have become a hero in their minds in the battle this morning, so I am a little hesitant at the moment.

I glared at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Killing people requires a motive, just like you just said, I have no grudge against Zhang Zhang, why do you want to kill him?" ”

Mrs. Zhang was about to speak, but she heard a hearty voice from outside the door: "I know why." ”

As soon as the words fell, a majestic old man slowly paced in from outside the house, it was Zhang Moran's younger brother, Shen Lei Tang Yu.

"On that day, Yuxuan Guan attacked the mountain, and the other party pointed out that he wanted to fight a decisive battle with this kid from the White Dragon Gate of the Yin and Yang Sect, but this kid secretly wanted to blackmail Mo Ran, in a vain attempt to replace Mo Ran as the new head of the Heavenly Master Mansion after the decisive battle. At that time, he was silently hindered by the war situation, so he had to reluctantly agree, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that this move violated the ancestral system and was unreasonable, and besides, was a person who took advantage of the fire to rob qualified to become the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion? Li Zheng, I admit that you silently breached the contract first, but you can't be a killer because of this! Right now, among all the people present, only your cultivation is higher than Mo Ran, how can anyone else have the ability to assassinate him in the Heavenly Master's Mansion? (To be continued.) )
