Chapter Seventy-Two: Murder and Treasure... Who is the murderer?
Chapter Seventy-Two: Murder and Treasure... Who is the murderer?
Li Daoyi stood in the altar of worship and thought for a long time, and finally prepared to invite the statue of Emperor Zhenwu to the temple. After all, in the 21st century, Emperor Zhenwu is the main god of Wudang Mountain Taoism.www.biquge.info
After dinner that day, Li Daoyi called the four patriarchs of Zhuge Zaotian, Zhang Jiancheng, Bai Dinner, and Gongsun Zilong together, and asked: "Patriarchs, there is still a statue of a god in Wudang Mountain to worship the Temple of Heaven, I don't know if there are ingenious carpenters in your family." If so, please also take the trouble to carve a statue of the Emperor Zhenwu. ”
The Gongsun family has obtained the inheritance of the Mo family, and the carpenter craft is the skill of the Mo family's heirs, so Gongsun Zilong immediately replied: "The matter of carving the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu is wrapped up in the old man! However, the old man has a small request. ”
"Please!"
"At the beginning, when the old man first went to Wudang Mountain, in order to prevent the old man from fighting privately with several other patriarchs, he took away my Mobao poison rotor. But now, the old man has become very good friends with several patriarchs. Therefore, the old man hoped that he could get back the poison rotor as a reward for carving the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu this time. ”
"Hehe, it's a deal!"
Li Daoyi decisively agreed, because as Gongsun Zilong said, after a period of running-in, the relationship between the four major architectural families in Wudang County has become very harmonious. So, he dismissed Bai Yu and the others, and then took Gongsun Zilong to his residence to get the poison rotor.
Gongsun Zilong once again retrieved his lost treasure and left ecstatically, needless to say.
After a night without saying a word, Li Daoyi drank a few glasses of wine brewed with thousand-year-old ginseng, immersed himself in the comfort of improving his physique, and fell asleep.
......
"Master Li! Oh no! Master Li! Oh no!"
Early in the morning, Zhou Jingming shouted frantically outside Li Daoyi's bedroom.
Li Daoyi was woken up, and after opening his hazy eyes, he couldn't help but scold: "What's the matter! It's not getting bright yet!"
"Lee... Master Li, something big has happened!"
"What the hell is going on?
Li Daoyi had no choice but to get dressed and get out of bed and open the door.
"Mr. Gongsun... He... He's been killed!" Zhou Jingming finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"What!" Li Daoyi was taken aback, and hurriedly ran towards the house where the Gongsun family lived.
When Li Dao came to the residence of the Gongsun family, he heard a group of female dependents crying around the body of Gongsun Zilong. The other men in the Gongsun family also stood in the hall with angry faces and waited for Li Daoyi's arrival.
The body of Gongsun Sun Long was lying in the hallway connecting the room.
Li Daoyi pushed away the crowd and approached the corpse of Gongsun Zilong, and his scalp suddenly tingled. I saw that Gongsun Zilong's face was already purple-black, and his whole face was like a hornet's nest, full of holes. If nothing else, Gongsun Zilong's face must have been sprayed by the Mo family's poisonous rotor.
"Poor thing! As soon as this grandson Long got back the poison rotor, he died under the muzzle of the poison rotor. Li Daoyi felt a pang of regret in his heart, and then angrily asked the men who lived with Gongsun Zilong: "What happened! Didn't you hear the sound of the fight last night?"
This morning, Gongsun Xiaoqi went to relieve his hands, and found the patriarch lying in the aisle, at that time, he had..."
"Go and look inside the house! See if the poison rotor is still there?" said Li Daoyi again.
"I've already looked for it, it's not here! It must be some guy who coveted the treasures of our patriarch, so he killed people and grabbed treasures in the middle of the night!" Gongsun Xiaoyou, the daughter of Gongsun Sun Long, said angrily. ...,
At this time, several other patriarchs of the construction family on Wudang Mountain also heard the news of Gongsun Zilong's murder and rushed over one after another. When they arrived, they were anxious to inquire about the situation, but everyone present ignored them.
Not only did they ignore it, but Li Daoyi and the people in the Gongsun family also began to look at Zhuge Zaotian, Zhang Jiancheng, and Bai Yu with a suspicious gaze. After all, although the relationship between the four patriarchs had become very good in the past few days, it was not certain that anyone would turn their backs on friendship because of a moment of greed.
"Mr. Gongsun's death is really regrettable! I guarantee with my life, this matter has nothing to do with our family!" Bai Fan said immediately after seeing the suspicion in the eyes of Li Daoyi and the others.
"Hmph, I'm afraid there are no three hundred taels of silver here!" Gongsun Xiaotian, the son of Gongsun Zilong, said sarcastically.
"You... Forget it, for the sake of your father being murdered just now, I won't argue with you!" Bai Yu glared at Gongsun Xiaotian and said.
Seeing that the friendship built by the four major architectural families on Wudang Mountain is about to break down again, the speed of Wudang Mountain's construction will be greatly reduced. Li Daoyi stood up and said solemnly: "From today onwards, no one on Wudang Mountain can go down the mountain without permission! This ban will not be lifted until the murderer of the Gongsun patriarch is found! If anyone dares to violate the ban, then he is the murderer!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
...
At this time, Li Daosan also happened to rush over, and he immediately took a few inner disciples and said, "Senior brother, I'll go and guard the mountain gate now! I won't let anyone out until the murderer is found!"
Li Daosan's Dragon and Tiger Fist has been practiced to a very high level, therefore, his martial arts are now very high, as long as he guards the mountain gate, except for Li Daoyi, no one on Wudang Mountain can easily rush out. After he finished speaking, he immediately went into action.
Li Daoyi began to gather all the people in the various families on Wudang Mountain, and then named them one by one according to the list to see if there were any people who had fled. As the head of Wudang Mountain Taoism, and as the county magistrate of Wudang County, no matter which identity he is, Li Daoyi has the responsibility to arrest the murderer and punish him!
The roll call soon ended, and there was no one less in each family. It seems that the murderer is very calm, and after killing Gongsun Zilong, he still mingles in the crowd safely.
"Okay! Since everyone is here, don't go. From now on, search your body, search your room, and see who is coveting my father's treasure?!" Gongsun Xiaotian said almost uncontrollably.
"Wouldn't we innocent people suffer?" the women of the other families immediately objected.
