Zhao Qianyuan would never use a knife to kill people, this person's death was strange.

"Tortured before death, died of three knives, this is the routine of the copper coin hero?" said Brother Lian.

Ye Yanshan shook his head, "The knife wound is not right, the blade of the copper coin hero's short sword is thinner and sharper." ”

"Who's that? Who would imitate the Copper Coin Hero to kill someone?"

"In other words, apart from the copper coin hero, who else wants to kill Fan Tonghai?"

Brother Lian shook his head, and the situation became more and more bizarre.

Master Fan's mourning hall was quickly erected, Fan Tonghai sat in front of the coffin with red eyes, the eldest son was his favorite successor, and he was most similar to him in terms of appearance and behavior, so he handed over the most important blacksmith village to him.

But now, he suddenly had a feeling that the building was about to collapse, Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhi were killed one after another, he seemed to have foreseen his death, he thought that the other party's target was him, who would have thought that it was the eldest son who died first.

He thought that the big tree of the virtuous king next to him would never be difficult in this life, and his children and grandchildren would be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth. It wasn't until I touched my son's body that I realized that the power struggle I stepped into was really right?

The village chief said that it was three black-clothed people who got down on the mountain road leading to Beacon Mountain, and at first there were two black-clothed men and a group of six sons, but the kung fu of the comers was very high, they injured people, grabbed things and ran away. Later, another man in black came and slashed at several people with a knife, all six of them were injured, but Fan Dashao was the most seriously injured.

Fan Tonghai suppressed the deep sadness in his heart and said to the village chief that if he went to the county to report the case, if he couldn't do it, he would sue the capital, and he would never let his son die in vain.

Brother Lian listened and was even more sure that it was not Zhao Qianyuan who was the killer, the first two men in black were them, and the third killer was not.

Committing murder on the road, slashing people to serious injuries, and alarming Fan Tonghai to come to the blacksmith village, the purpose of the copper coin hero to expand the situation and remind the deceased to break the law is exactly the same, but it is not the copper coin hero who is killing people. She quietly glanced at Luo Jiaotou, and saw him standing in the crowd expressionlessly, as if he didn't care about anything, he didn't have time, it wasn't him.

She glanced at the sleepy god again, there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, he was hostile to the Fan family, could it be that he was looking for someone to kill?

Goodbye Hou Jie, it doesn't matter, his face is relaxed, this person must be used to seeing dead people or killing people.

Wang Shizhu's eyes were cold, revealing a strong killing intent.

At this point, the case became more and more complicated, and the murderer's purpose was not only like exposing the secret hidden behind him, but also like killing people.

She looked at Fan Tonghai, this person was in it, and he would only know more secrets than the copper coin hero, and asked him directly if he didn't come faster, just find a way to pry his mouth open, and wait for a fart copper coin hero.

She stretched out her arm to touch Ye Yanshan, and the two quietly retreated to the side, she said to him: "Change the plan, before the arrival of the copper coin hero, find a way to kidnap Master Fan and interrogate him directly." ”

The corners of Ye Yanshan's mouth twitched, and his gaze swept over more than twenty bodyguards, "Are you kidnapping him at this time?"

Lian Di said upsetly: "I need a chance to face him alone, I can ask who he is doing and what he is doing." ”

"When we're on duty tomorrow, you can ask him a chance. ”

Brother Lian nodded helplessly.

The funeral continued, and the people in the village rushed over one after another with their families, and it could be seen that the whole village respected Fan Tonghai very much, and they also showed sincere sadness for the death of the eldest young master of the Fan family.

Lian tried to talk to the villagers, but they were very vigilant and would not say a word to outsiders.

Young Master Fan was injured on the road to Beacon Mountain, and when he asked about the three words Beacon Mountain, almost all of them were silent, their eyes dodged, and they made excuses to quickly walk away.

Brother Lian glanced at Ye Yanshan, "Do you see it?"

Ye Yanshan nodded, "Is there a problem with Beacon Mountain?"

"The secret of the whole village must be hidden in the mountain, ...... tonight" As soon as Brother Lian raised his eyebrows, Ye Yanshan nodded slightly in tacit understanding.

The two groups of people who were not on duty had dinner and found a place to sleep in the Fan family's old house.

The gongs and drums of the funeral in the front yard continued to beat without stopping, muffling out many sounds in the night, and a team of 100 horses galloped quietly towards the blacksmith village from two directions, their hooves wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and immediately all of them covered their faces with black scarves, and the long knives at their waists were ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Tonight's mission is sudden, and it's simple: slaughter the village and leave no one alive.

Most of the people in the blacksmith village are now gathered in the Fan family's old mansion, and what to do next, Fan Tonghai has to make an idea.

In the backyard of the old house, the bodyguards slept in a large bunk. Brother Lian was sleeping in the corner of the easternmost wall, and after a watch, Wang Shizhu sat up, saying that the sound of gongs and drums reached the backyard and made him unable to sleep, and he muttered that he went to the front yard to change shifts with others, and left the house.

When it was almost the second watch, I got up from sleep, covered my stomach and said that it hurt, diarrhea, and ran out.

After the second watch, Hou Jie's snoring came, and Brother Lian and Ye Yanshan turned over, quietly went out of the house, went out from the back door of Fan's house, and ran towards Bijia Mountain.

Although there is no street lamp, but the moonlight is very good, the direction has been seen at dinner, the blacksmith village is near a big lake, the villagers say that the bottom is not visible, the other shore can not be seen as far as the eye can see, there are not many boats in the lake, it can be seen that the villagers do not often go into the water on weekdays, the Beacon Mountain is at the end of the village, the mountain is not high, the plants are luxuriant, the lake side is on the side, steep and straight, because there are two mountain tips, so it is called Beacon Mountain.

The two of them went up a small road uphill, a pavilion on the side of the mountain, and then went up to the top of the mountain, and saw nothing all the way, even the younger brother looked around, closed his eyes and entered the state of concentration, in the sound of gongs and drums under the mountain and the sound of the lake beating on the shore, there was occasionally the sound of iron hammering.

She said: "There must be a secret passage into the belly of the mountain, and nothing can be seen outside." ”

The two returned to the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and began to analyze where the entrance to the secret passage would be, Ye Lingshan said: "If it is a cave, the entrance of the cave will definitely be covered by a big stone or a big tree, and if it is an artificially built tunnel, most of the cave entrances will be camouflaged by artificial construction." ”

"They want to build weapons on a large scale, they need a lot of space, the use of natural caves is the most labor-saving, such lush plants on the mountain, I bet they use big trees as a shield, what about you?"

Ye Yanshan smiled helplessly: "I can only choose artificial buildings as a disguise." ”

"Actually, there's another way to get in. Lian Di looked at the side of the lake, and there was a steep cliff below, "If there is a voice, there must be an open hole, and if you dare to open a hole openly, it is because the hole is in a place where no one can reach." ”

Ye Yanshan said: "In the middle of the cliff!"

"Yes, it must be, but unfortunately I can't see anything at night, and I don't know how many snakes and insects are hidden in this bush, and I don't want to risk it. Let's go, look again, where people often come and go, there will be no grass on the ground. ”

"Good. ”

The two of them walked on the path again, and as soon as they turned a corner, they heard the sound of a heavy object moving behind them, Ye Yanshan pulled Lian Di over and hid on the side to look over, only to see the pavilion where the two of them stayed just now, a big hole was slowly revealed in the ground, and the two men walked out of it one after another, saying how Young Master Fan said and went down the mountain.

Brother Lian and Ye Yanshan came out of their hiding places and stared at the ground that had been closed again.

"Well," said Brother Lian, "you won, it's a camouflage made by artificial structures." But I didn't say how big the bet was, now it's up to you to make the bet. Don't open your mouth, I don't have much silver. ”

Ye Yanshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Say it, you can say as much as you want." ”

"Don't regret it. ”

"No regrets. ”

"Okay, then...... A penny. ”

Ye Yanshan smiled faintly and said, "Okay." ”

Brother Lian happily patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Ye, I like you the most gentleman who treats money like dung, if it's the guy who is full three, he will have to knock me a tael of silver." ”

Ye Yanshan smiled: "Can I regret it?"

Brother Lian hurriedly withdrew his hand, pretending to lower his head and looking for it on the ground, "I don't know how to open this hole from the outside?"

Ye Yanshan walked to one of the pillars of the pavilion, stretched out his hand and pressed it in one place, and the hole slowly revealed, "I saw one of those two people caressing here when he came out of the pavilion just now. ”

Brother Lian hurriedly praised him, "It's much better to cooperate with you than to work with Guan Shunerd." ”

There was light in the cave, and a staircase led straight down, and a torch burned on the wall at the next point. The two of them walked down the stairs, turned two corners halfway, and descended about forty steps, the sound of iron hitting became clearer and clearer, and at the end of the steps, the lights were bright, and the two quietly went over to take a look, and were startled.

A large naturally formed cave appeared in front of me, dozens of blacksmith boilers lined up in an orderly manner, perhaps because of the night, most of the stoves were extinguished, but a dozen people were still busy. On the other side of the cave were piles of broadswords and spears. Directly opposite a large hole with a large lake and moonlight outside.

As soon as the two appeared at the entrance of the steps, there was no longer any cover, and everyone who was busy turned their heads to look at them, and for a while, both sides were stunned.

Soon, the group of strong men who were striking iron reacted, these two people were intruders, and almost all of them coincidentally grabbed a weapon and surrounded the two step by step.

Brother Lian weighed in his heart: Fight or run? More than a dozen people against two people, the other party is all strong men, even if he has not practiced martial arts, he is still a brute force, which should not be underestimated. Running back, the mission to the blacksmith village was a complete failure.

"Wait!" Brother Lian raised his hand to stop these people, "You all know that Master Fan was killed, right? We came with Master Fan this afternoon, and he asked us to investigate the cause of Master Fan's death, and we must find out the murderer and avenge Master Fan." ”

The men were visibly stunned when they heard this, and one of the foremen-looking people inside said, "How did you two find out here?"

"It was the village chief who told us that he couldn't leave the funeral of the eldest young master, so let us investigate it ourselves, and the place where the crime occurred was of course the first place to be investigated. ”

The foreman sneered, grinned and said, "What can you see during the investigation in the middle of the night?"

"The murderer's footprints and the knife marks left on the tree poles must be seen as soon as possible, otherwise a rain will destroy them all. ”

The foreman frowned in disbelief, thought for a while, stared at Brother Lian and said with certainty: "The village chief will never let outsiders come to this cave, even if he asks you to investigate the case, he will only accompany him to investigate outside, how can you let two outsiders enter here by themselves." He raised his hand and waved, "Kill them." ”

The blacksmiths who had stopped forced the two of them again, and even the younger brother looked at it, and secretly scolded the foreman for being cunning, it seemed that a big battle was inevitable, she turned her head and said to Ye Yanshan: "These people are brute force, don't fight hard, retreat outside first, the woods are big, there is a place to hide." ”

Pulling him back to the steps, he suddenly saw the blacksmiths who were coming from the opposite side staring behind her, all of them showing fear in their eyes, and began to retreat one after another.

She turned around and saw that there were fifteen or sixteen masked people in black clothes, black pants and black scarves quietly coming down from the steps.

Even her younger brother was shocked, these people are so murderous, they are definitely not good! She pulled Ye Chengshan to the side, if the two sides were in a gang, they would have died here tonight. If the two sides are not in the same group, there is still a glimmer of life.

The black-clothed man who finally came down paced ahead, his eyes swept everyone in the cave coldly, and finally paused on Ye Yanshan's face, and spit out one word: Kill!
