Chapter 13: Murder

It was dawn and the rain was still falling.

Wang Baobao resisted the urge to throw the table out of the window, washed and ate in the ubiquitous and unfluctuating sound of rain, and then came to the study.

This is a complete disaster.

There's nothing here to dispel boredom.

Wang Baobao sat in the Taishi chair and let out a long sigh.

Then a man rushed into the room.

"General Jingzhou and Governor Wuchang were killed last night!"

This man has a quick mouth, so he was lucky enough to avoid the fate of being killed by the angry Wang Baobao.

But soon, the anger dissipated, after all, those two people could not be regarded as the prince's people, or even Chahan's people, and for Wang Baobao, their death could even be regarded as a good thing.

Of course, Wang Baobao will not be stupid enough to show it.

"Whoever did it, kill him!"

When Wang Baobao finished, he suddenly realized that this was exactly what he was looking forward to - an excellent choice to relieve boredom.

Despite the chaos that had just been followed by Wang Baobao's forcible seizure of control of the city, the Wuchang government was still heavily guarded, and even safer because of the presence of the imperial guards, and it was almost safe to say that no one could kill the governor of Wuchang in the official palace quietly. As for General Jingzhou, he lives in the camp of the army, which is full of demons, and he is even safer than Wang Baobao.

It took a moment to figure out this, and a trace of fear flashed in Wang Baobao's heart - if the murderer's target was him, then he might have died.

But that's what makes it fun, and the fun of hunting rabbits can never be compared to hunting tigers and leopards.

Soon, the officials who were still in the official office came to the study, including the deputy general of the Jingzhou general, the subordinates of the governor, and the arrest of Kuai.

The hundred disciples had already left overnight, and several people, including Mo Yi, chose to go south to chase the departing dragon, while the rest chose to go north and return to Beijing on the contrary.

This makes Wang Baobao have very few people available, and the reality is that the demons are not good at this kind of thing to find the murderer, and they are only useful when you want to tear the murderer to pieces.

However, there are still one or two people who can help, such as the third headhunter in the city, and Zhu Rang, the chief bookkeeper.

"That man was a black-clothed swordsman, a first-class master, no one in the official office found it at all, and there were two generals' personal soldiers in the camp who found out, but they were all killed. ”

Wang San is reliable, and Wang Baobao treats him well, so this head catcher is very hard, but almost all he brings is bad news.

"Infiltrated the Chinese military camp tent of the army alone, killed the general of the unified army and retreated, let me ask you Master Zhu, how many people you know can have such skills?"

"Very little. ”

Zhu Rang cherishes words like gold, not only because he is not the prince's person, but also because he is now one of the people who are suspected.

Although there are many masters in Wuchang City, there are still very few who can reach this level, including several Confucian disciples who were born in the three major academies in Jiangnan like Zhu Rang.

"No one in Confucianism has dared to do such a thing. Wang Baobao laughed and patted Zhu Rang's shoulder, he was very sure, because this is the case, no one in Confucianism has dared to do such a conspiracy thing, "But if you fail to catch the murderer in the end, you can't hide." ”

Zhu Rang was silent for a moment: "I asked the best servants of Wuchang to come over, as well as the fellow practitioners of the academy, they can identify the moves of all the masters in Wuchang." ”

"Okay," Wang Baobao nodded, he was satisfied, "Be quick." ”

Zhu Rang's movements were fast, even exceeding Wang Baobao's expectations.

"Mortal wound in the throat, a sword. His superb skills made him forget the basic skills of communicating with people, but like all the people who needed him before, Wang Baobao completely ignored this, "There is no poisoning, no other wounds." Of the two men, the governor was in front and the general was in the back, and the difference in time of death was very short. ”

"Not only is he superhuman in swordsmanship, but he is also powerful in light skills. ”

Wang Baobao doesn't know what this means yet, but at least it's a good start.

"There is no such person in Wuchang City," Zhu Rang brought not only Qi Zuo, but also three Confucian disciples, who could answer almost all questions about the martial arts in the south, "This swordsman is from out of town. ”

"From where?"

No one answered.

"The murderer entered the city from the south gate, just yesterday afternoon, because of the bad weather, only one person entered the city yesterday, dressed in black and with a hood covering his face, and the soldiers guarding the city could not be mistaken. ”

"South?"

Wang Baobao's gaze swept over the faces of the four Confucian disciples, Jiangnan is the territory of the Confucian Academy and the family, except for the Jinghu Villa, all the people who have superb swordsmanship and light skills are Confucian disciples.

"That person's moves are extremely powerful, and they are by no means the martial arts of Confucian disciples, the saint is benevolent, and the tricks are benevolent and forgiving......"

"Do you know who he is?"

"Only Bai Gongzi has such martial arts......"

Wang Baobao roared and interrupted Zhu Rang's words: "Answer me!"

"I don't know. ”

Everyone present was trembling, and Wang Baobao's anger terrified them.

"I've blocked all the city gates, isn't it the whole city?"

Wang San gave Wang Baobao the only comfort, at least he had someone under him who was willing to do things besides talking.

"Recently, has there been a new master in Jiangnan?"

"There is one, someone once saw Bai Gongzi cast a painting skin a few days ago. ”

"Where?"

"I don't know. ”

Zhu Rang's heart was terrified, but Wang Baobao's anger had dissipated.

"No one saw who Bai Gongzi was fighting with, but she didn't wear a burqa when she returned to Jinghu Villa. ”

"Among the masters in Jiangnan, no one dares to kill in Wuchang, and the murderer is the one who fought with Bai Gongzi. ”

Wang Baobao said, countless thoughts flashed through his heart, and a speculation gradually emerged from the chaos and completely occupied his heart.

There is no one in the world who can rely on the strength of only one person to force Bai Gongzi to use his painted skin, but if it is to besiege Bai Gongzi to the Jiangnan family when many masters act together, it is impossible for there to be no news in the rivers and lakes.

There has never been a master in the world who suddenly appeared, even if he is a genius in the sky, without the teaching of a master, without a master's martial arts, it is difficult to achieve anything. It has always been like this on the rivers and lakes, and a master will always have a reputation that matches his strength.

What's more, it's a stronger master than Bai Gongzi.

All this finally points to a seemingly absurd but completely reasonable possibility: the person who fought with Bai Gongzi is the murderer of the murder, and at the same time it is exactly what Qin Tianjian said, Long.
