Chapter 67: Murder and Silence
Yuan Bao, Guan Luo and others surrounded him, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The mountains inside turned out to be countless forged swords! Layer upon layer, there are probably thousands!
Baili Jiu walked to the front in two steps, took out a handful of them at will, and stepped forward with a torch, everyone looked carefully, and the saber issued by the imperial court to Jinyiwei in terms of length, weight, and system were almost the same, and the quality was slightly better. The only difference is that the mark on these swords has a circular "宎" character, which is exactly the same as the one Noya picked up.
This discovery left several people stunned, and they didn't know how to speak. No one expected such an astonishing discovery. Originally, I just thought that this was just a private mining and forging mine for huge profits, but who knew that it was actually a private weapon! It's no different from rebellion!
Baili Jiu was the first to react, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, so he turned around and left, and hurriedly ordered Yuanbao: "Yuanbao, you are responsible for staying on guard and surrounding this place, and no idle people are allowed to enter or leave, including the soldiers outside." Ice Spirit, you quickly return to the barracks and mobilize 5,000 men and horses to block all the nearby hills. Guan Luo, the investigation work here is handed over to you for the time being, you can investigate carefully again and see if there are any other discoveries. Noah, take the bubbles and come with me! ”
Seeing that he was anxious, Noya knew that there must be something important, so he didn't ask much, followed him straight out of the mountain, turned over his horse, and headed towards Handan City.
At this time, Noya had time, turned his head and asked Baili Jiu: "What are you going to do in such a hurry?" ”
Baili Jiu rode the horse fast, with a worried face: "I didn't expect things to be so serious, the other party obviously knows our whereabouts and has made preparations in advance, I am afraid that the prefect and Huang Dexing will be killed and destroyed!" ”
Baili Jiuyi reminded Noya in his heart, this matter is clearly impossible to do by Huang Dexing and the prefect in embarrassment, there must be a mastermind behind it, and since the weapon is built, it must have a great background. Now that the matter has been revealed, how can they still be left alive?
Saving people is like fighting fire, if you go early, it is possible to keep people under the knife, how can Bailijiu not be anxious?
The two of them rode wildly, left the bubbles far behind, and hit their horses to the city gate, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, saying that they were going to do a routine inspection.
Baili Jiu was as anxious as fire, and whipped down at the soldier, and scolded loudly: "I am Baili Jiu, hurry up and take me to your prefect!" ”
The name of Baili Jiu is known to everyone in the whole Great Chu, but in such a small town, no one knows him. Now that his token is in the hands of Bing Spirit, he has not taken it back, and although the soldier was frightened by his momentum, he will not be gullible.
"You are Baili Jiu, and I am still the son of Chu!" When the soldiers saw that someone was making trouble, they all gathered around, swords facing each other, and said fiercely: "Hurry up and get off the horse and accept the inspection, even if you are really a person from Baili Mansion, you must also check it together!" ”
Baili Jiu was too lazy to ramble with a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and snorted angrily: "Hurry up and call your heads over to talk back!" ”
A few people were unhurried, squinting at Baili Jiu, with a mocking face, and finally annoyed Noah. She has always liked to fight violence with violence, she flew up, the long sword at her waist was unsheathed, and when she saw a flash of cold light, she put it on the neck of one of the soldiers, weighing as much as a thousand pounds: "If you dare to act rashly, Lao Tzu will kill his dog!" ”
That posture is majestic and domineering.
The soldiers were so afraid that no one dared to move forward, and they all took two steps back.
"I know how the prefect's yamen goes." Noya didn't look back, and said to Baili Jiu on the horse behind him: "Turn left at the intersection in front and go straight." You ride over, I am responsible for the break, and then go to Huang Dexing, and we will divide into two ways. ”
"Good!" At stake, the two of them didn't care about saying much, and Bailijiu didn't take these little soldiers in his eyes, his legs were clamped, he rushed out of the encirclement, and went straight in the direction that Noya said.
The soldiers behind him immediately shouted, trying to catch up. Noah picked up a sword flower with one hand, and the two soldiers in front of her were both cut off their sleeves, and then the sword was restrained, and it was back on the soldier's neck.
"The court ordered officials to handle the case, and you dare to stop it, don't you want to live?"
When all the soldiers saw her skill, they were all shocked and did not dare to act rashly.
Among the people around, there happened to be a craftsman who had been to the villa to help, and pointed to Nuoya and said, "Isn't this the eldest lady of Murong Villa?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers knew that what the two of them said was true. Now no one in the entire Handan City knows that Miss Murong returned to her hometown with the young general of Baili Mansion, not only avenging the annihilation, but also rebuilding the mausoleum of the Murong family? It's too late for the prefect to catch up.
A few people trembled, put down the sword in their hands, turned over and fell to the ground: "The little one really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask Miss Murong to forgive me." ”
Nuoya was anxious at this time, where did she have the kung fu to talk nonsense with them, it happened that the bubbles had followed, she put down the long sword in her hand, spared the soldier with a face as white as earth, and said coldly: "Which of you knows Huang Dexing's residence, hurry up and take me over, it will change later!" ”
This time, without her further orders, a soldier immediately brought two horses, and one soldier turned over on his horse first, and said quickly: "Little acquaintance, Miss Murong, please come with me." ”
Noah jumped up, flew on his horse, hit the horse and followed the man, and went straight to the city of Handan.
When the people around heard that Nuoya was looking for Huang Dexing, they immediately became interested, knowing that there must be a lively scene to see, but if there was no urgency, they all flocked to follow behind, and they were inexplicably excited.
Huang Dexing's residence is easy to find, because his house is in Handan City, which is the only one in style, with high doors and wide buildings, blue bricks and blue tiles, and stone beast town houses. At the head of the door, there are two thug-like people guarding the gate, looking like the mansion of the high-ranking official.
"Where's Huang Ye?" The soldier asked anxiously.
The two thugs stood up and knew the official clothes, so they spoke politely: "In the courtyard, I haven't been out for a day." ”
Noah's heart secretly said badly: "Hurry up and take me to see him!" ”
The soldier guarding the city was good at observing words and feelings, and he also knew that it was not good, so he anxiously urged: "What are you doing stupidly? Hurry up! ”
Only then did the two react, pushed open the door in a panic, and walked in with Noah.
Needless to say, the courtyard was extremely luxurious, and the servants also came and went, as if they were gathered, and they were surprised to see a few people rushing in in a hurry. Noah didn't care, followed behind the two, walked through the room, and the two pointed to the door of a carved room and said, "I heard that it's here with the third aunt." ”
Noah was not polite, kicked the door open with one kick, and broke in. A strong smell of blood came to his face, Noya was familiar with it, and before he could find the source, the two people behind him had already screamed in shock, pointed to the bed tent, frightened and urinated, stumbled out, and tripped on the ground by the steps: "Come on, something happened to the master!" ”
The official was much calmer, and he stepped forward with Nuoya, and opened the blood-stained bed tent, and there were two corpses on the bed, one male and one female, with their necks and throats cut, and they had been dead for a long time, and even the blood on the bed was a little dry and coagulated. In addition, the weather is hot and humid now, and the corpse is stuffed on the bed, and there are already signs of decomposition.
You don't need to look at the appearance of the male corpse, just look at his broken arm, Nuoya knows that it must be Huang Dexing.
As soon as the soldier defending the city turned his head, his throat ached, and he began to vomit "wow".
Noya held back the nausea, approached the front, and checked the injuries, all of them were killed with a sword, the wounds were thin and deep, and the two didn't even struggle, which showed how fast the other party was attacking.
Looking at the doors and windows again, when I came in, the door was closed, but the back window was wide open, and the murderer should have been in and out from here.
The bubbles trailed in, sniffing around, and there was nothing important to discover.
When the servants in the house heard the screams, they all gathered around, but they saved Noya from looking for them one by one.
The official only introduced that it was the government that handled the case, and asked everyone to take the initiative to cooperate, so he stood aside and stopped talking. Noya asked the people in the house, when was the last time he saw Huang Dexing? Did you hear anything unusual during the night?
A maid who claimed to be the third aunt said tremblingly: "Yesterday, the master came back quite early, probably at the end of the unitary period, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood, worried, and lost his temper with us. So we served him supper, washed up, and then all withdrew. I knocked on the door twice this morning, but I didn't hear from inside, and I didn't dare to disturb. ”
A few girls next to her also nodded in agreement.
"What suspicious people are coming in and out of the house in the meantime?" Noah asked the two men guarding the door.
The two of them shook their heads busily: "Except for people in the house, I don't see strangers coming in and out." ”
Noya wanted to ask Huang Dexing who he had a close relationship with, but when he raised his eyes and looked around, he saw that there were many women with flowers and branches, and asked, "Which one is the eldest lady?" ”
One of the women covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and pointed in the direction of the backyard: "The eldest lady is in the back of the Buddha hall, and she has always stayed at home. ”
Now that he has died and his husband has died tragically, as a wife, can he continue to calmly recite scriptures and worship the Buddha? Noah felt suspicious, and said to the messenger beside him: "Please go and summon the eldest lady over, I have something to ask." ”
The errand officer was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady's legs and feet are not very convenient, and she is a little crazy, and it is useless to ask." ”
Nuoya originally wanted to give up according to her words, but later asked about those delicate concubines, all of them scratched their heads and didn't know what to ask, and they responded in their hearts, so they ordered someone to guard the door of the house, not to let idlers enter and exit, and when they turned back, the government would naturally come to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case. Follow the maid in the house and go to the backyard Buddhist hall.
The Buddha hall is inconspicuous, as shabby as a grass house, narrow and gloomy, it seems that the life of this eldest lady is not very good.
The maid went inside to tell the eldest lady, and Noya stood outside the door and heard a very indifferent voice inside: "Death is death, the sin is obvious, there should have been such a day a long time ago, the sky has eyes." ”
The maid continued to report: "The eldest lady of the Murong family wants to see you. ”
"No, let's send it away, just say I don't know anything." The woman's refusal was categorical.
The maid replied in a low voice, probably before she turned around and was dragged again, her voice was a little excited: "Who did you say you wanted to see me?" ”
