Chapter 238: Major Events [Second Update]
Late at night, Lin'an.
Every house is closed, even the chickens and dogs are silent, except for places like Yihongyuan, which is open all night, it is dark everywhere.
Even the husband who fights the guard is all strong officials, and they are all in threes and threes.
Because, in the dead of night, there are often evil ghosts haunting, and ordinary people go out alone, which is easy to target.
But the backyard of the security hall is still lit.
Xu Xian's sister and the rest of the family had already fallen asleep. In the study, Xu Xian and a sturdy man in his forties were drinking tea silently.
This man has long sword eyebrows, thin eyes and hooked nose, although he is wearing clothes made of satin material, wearing this fine jade pendant, it is very luxurious, and low-key and elegant, but it does not look like a big man or anything like that.
His eyes are sharp, and he has a kind of majesty in a high position in every gesture, as well as an iron-blooded and capable temperament.
"Brother-in-law, how is the investigation, is there a result?" At this time, Xu Xian finally put down the teacup and said.
"Well, I've found the scene and found sword marks, as well as the smell of blood that has been wiped off. Although the body has not been found, nine times out of ten, the kid of the Zhang family is dead, and most of the people who shot it are the charlatan you said. ”
The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
It turned out that he was Xu Xian's brother-in-law, Mr. Li, who was head-hunting.
During the day, Xu Xian found that Zhang Gongzi was missing, and after searching everywhere to no avail, he asked his brother-in-law to investigate.
"Damn, I thought that person was suspicious during the day, and I knew that I would have killed him directly. Xu Xian gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't take it lightly, although the kid of the Zhang family is not very strong, the person who can find out that he is following him and killing him unknowingly is by no means an idle person. Li Zhutou said very calmly.
"Can you catch him?" Xu Xian said expectantly.
"Someone saw him go towards the lake, and then he disappeared, and no one saw him with a body, so I was afraid that it would be a little difficult. But I've got people to investigate, and if he kills people on my turf, he won't escape death even if he escapes to the ends of the earth. Li Zhutou said coldly.
"When I catch him, I'll kill him myself. Xu Xian couldn't help but clench his fists and said.
"Yes, but don't tell the Zhang family about this matter for the time being. Otherwise, they won't be able to accept it, and maybe they will even have a lawsuit with us. Although we are not afraid, there will be some troubles and bad effects after all. And if you drag it out like this, wait for a long time, tell them, and give them some compensation, and they will naturally be able to accept it. Li Zhutou nodded slightly.
"It's still my brother-in-law who has a way. Xu Xian praised.
"Hmm. After two days, I will go to Zen Master Fahai and ask him to use his magic powers to communicate with the prefecture to investigate the case, and when the time comes, whether it is the life or death of the Zhang family boy or the whereabouts of the murderer, he can find out in one fell swoop. Li Zhutou smiled.
"That's good. By the way, there have been a lot of strangers in the city recently, and they all have martial arts, brother-in-law, have you noticed?" Xu Xian said with a sigh of relief.
"I know, three of them were killed yesterday morning, and two of my subordinates were killed because of this, and it was the Jianghu who attacked. In addition, I suspect that those people are extraterrestrial demons recorded in ancient books. Li Zhutou nodded.
"Extraterrestrial demons?" Xu Xian said in surprise.
"Not bad. However, their strength is mostly average, so there is no need to worry. And I've already caught some of them, locked them in a cell, and sent my subordinates to extract confessions, so I should be able to find out the truth soon. Li Zhutou said.
"Indeed, many of them today actually wanted to rob my security hall, but they were directly killed by us, which is really beyond their means. However, I suspect that the charlatan is also part of them. Xu Xian said.
"Well, so you must be more vigilant during this time, and you must not let them spoil a big thing. Li Zhutou said solemnly.
"Don't worry, they don't know at all, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who want to join our medicine hall today. Xu Xian said with a smile.
"You promised? Surely they didn't have a good heart. Li Zhutou said.
"I know, so I've poisoned them specifically. Xu Xian said proudly.
"Good way, I will take some poison to the yamen tomorrow, and there are many people today who want me to accept the errand. Li Zhutou sneered.
"Really? What idiots. But they actually came just in time, just in time to help us get things done as quickly as possible. Xu Xian also sneered.
......
"Not good!"
On the cliff opposite the valley, facing the gaze of the white snake, Zhang Feng couldn't help but be startled, and he had a feeling of being seen through and locked.
Before, in order to prevent the White Snake from discovering him, he deliberately used his peripheral vision to observe the other party, instead of looking at him head-on, but he didn't expect the other party to still notice him.
Although his strength is very strong, he is almost invincible in the same rank, and when he encounters an ordinary tenth-level martial artist, he can win and kill him.
But this white snake is obviously a powerful existence beyond the True Qi Realm, no matter how strong he is, he is only a battle scum in front of him.
If the White Snake kills it, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
"Breath Enhancement!"
However, he did not panic, at the critical moment, on the contrary, he calmed down more and more, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately had a way, and then silently thought in his heart, the last assignable free point on the panel disappeared in an instant.
Then, the qi accumulation technique was raised to 4 points, and Zhang Feng only digested the perception obtained from the skill improvement in an instant, and then the aura leaking from his body instantly decreased by a large margin.
The pores of his body were tightly closed, and even his heart and breathing almost stopped, and the whole person immediately had a charm of merging with the surrounding vegetation and rocks.
"Shhh
The white snake stared at the place for a moment, then finally withdrew his gaze, and continued to swallow the moonlight.
In this way, it was not until the sky was bright and the moon disappeared that the white snake stopped absorbing, and then did not stay in the valley, but left directly, heading towards the town in front of the mountain.
"Whew!"
Seeing this, Zhang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he finally saw the full picture of the white snake, which was more than a meter long, which was very terrifying.
In addition, the white snake is so huge in size, it is extremely fast, and extremely agile, and when it moves, it is surrounded by wind and clouds, as if it is flying at a low altitude, leaving no traces wherever it passes, and all the grass, trees, mountains and rocks are not damaged at all.
"Worthy of the White Snake. ”
Zhang Feng couldn't help but secretly marvel.
Then, when the white snake was completely far away, he did not follow and left, but immediately cast a wind control step, seized the opportunity, quietly but quickly descended the cliff, and then dived into the opposite valley.
It turns out that all the nests of powerful monsters and the like generally have good things, and the dragon and snake that become demons have the habit of collecting treasures.
It is rumored that the white snake in front of him has a lot of treasures.
Therefore, Zhang Feng did not hesitate to take risks and hid here all the time, in order to wait for the white snake to leave and take the opportunity to enter the cave to scrape.
Now, after waiting all night, the opportunity has finally come, and naturally it cannot be missed.
