Chapter 276: Dried Corpse
At this time, Shimen Town has been completely under martial law, and a large number of soldiers of the Wind Patrol Army and the Military City Division wearing cyan armor have surrounded all here, especially the Shi family, and not a single fly emperor can fly in.
Zhongzhou City is a big city with flowing winds, covering an area of very vast, thirty miles outside the city, and also belongs to the suburbs.
Shimen Town is very prosperous because of this, and because one of the seven small families is located in it, a large number of Yuan Shi have gathered, which is comparable to a small city.
Huge cyan stones are piled up, ten feet tall, very majestic.
But it is such a rich city, and the owner of the Shi family in it was actually destroyed all over the door silently, which made the people of Shimen Town very frightened, thinking that there was an evil invasion, but fortunately, the people from the Wind Patrol Army and the Military City Division arrived behind to control this place and stabilize people's hearts.
However, there is still panic in Shimen Town, and many people want to flee here and take refuge in the safer city of Zhongzhou.
"Roar!"
The carriage of the Qingyun Flying Winged Tiger traveled all the way, and it didn't take long to come to the front of Shimen Town, and the mighty Qingyun Flying Winged Tiger immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"It's the Lord!"
"It's... According to the carriage of the inspector, Lin has also arrived!"
The sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry opened the city gate, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out to greet them, led by Zhao Jie, the captain of the Wind Patrol Army, and the deputy general of the Military City Division, who came with the soldiers under his command.
"My subordinates have seen the envoy and the military master!"
Commander Zhao Jie and the lieutenant general came to Zhou Fang and Qinghu's carriage and bowed.
Lin Ran lifted the curtain, looked at Zhao Jie, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhao, General Shen Qian is in Shimen Town?"
In private, Lin Ran and Zhao Jie are very good friends, but now it is a routine, so they can't speak casually as usual.
"The general is inside the Shi family, two adults, please inside!" Zhao Jie replied, stretching out his hand to invite Lin Ran and Zhou Fang to enter Shimen Town.
As soon as you enter Shimen Town, an atmosphere of tension and fear rushes over you, with passers-by walking in a hurry, doors closed, and few people walking on the streets.
The Qinghu Alien Beast carriage was tightly guarded by the soldiers in the middle, and the military lord Zhou Fang rode a strange beast war horse and walked in front with a majestic attitude, and several lieutenants followed closely behind him, as for Zhao Jie, he was guarding next to the Qinghu carriage.
Through the curtain, Lin Ran frowned and looked at this prosperous city, which was now withered.
"My lord, it seems that the Shi family was destroyed, which is indeed unusual, and this Shimen Town will probably be abandoned in less than two years. Lei Heng rode a war horse to follow beside him, and when he saw Lin Ran lift the curtain, he whispered.
Lin Ran nodded slightly: "We just need to investigate the matter of the Shi family's annihilation, as for Shimen Town, this is something that Gong Cao Si should worry about." ”
"Hehe, what the lord said is that the subordinates only charge, and the lord will give an order to keep the cow ghost and snake god under the horse!" Lei Heng scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Zhao Jie, who was next to him, heard the words of the two, his heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "According to the inspector, could it be that there are really demon cultivators and evil cultivators making trouble?" When it comes to demon cultivation and evil cultivation, every one of them must be full of bones, Zhao Jie was shocked.
Lin Ran pondered for a moment and said, "I can't confirm it yet, this time I came with the Zhou military master to find out the truth about the Shi family's annihilation, let's talk about it at the Shi family." ”
Pedal pedal ~~~
Soon, the group came from the gate of Shimen Town to the gate of Shijiafu in the center.
Although the Shi family is not one of the four great families in Zhongzhou, it has such a huge strength and power, but it is also one of the top seven families among many small families, and its status in this Shimen Town is unique.
Shijia is located in the center of Shimen Town, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the house gate is extremely spacious, the whole body is piled up with flat stone slabs at the door, two stone lions with teeth and claws are stained with blood at this time, a few days have passed, the blood has dried up, turned into a dark red appearance, so that these two huge stone lions are red in their eyes, like demons.
Three days ago, these two stone lions who suppressed feng shui witnessed a bloody massacre, and the Shi family was completely killed!
Shen Qian, the general of Zhennan, had already received the news and welcomed Lin Ran and Zhou Fang in.
Quack Quack——
As soon as you walk in, a flock of crows will fly out of this huge mansion, and the black wings will fall down you, and the atmosphere will be very strange and gloomy.
Hiss!
Everyone gasped and felt some tingling on their scalps.
Lin Ran's face remained unchanged, these crows were probably just attracted by the corpses of the Shi family, the crows ate carrion, more than a thousand people died, and the corpse qi in this was extremely strong, which would inevitably attract crows, wild cats and other demon beasts and animals.
Shen Qian and Zhou Fang were the masters of the Shenhai Realm, and they were not surprised by this, and they led people all the way to the depths of the Shi family.
Along the way, there were soldiers from the Wind Patrol Army and the Military City Division, which surrounded the place and completely protected the scene, so the dried blood stains here were everywhere and were not cleaned up.
Go to the depths, this is the place where the corpses of the Shi family are placed.
More than a thousand corpses, all covered with white cloths, were extremely shocking, making Lin Ran a little furious.
"My lord, please look!"
The lieutenant in armor took two steps forward, lifted a piece of white cloth with the long sword in his hand, and suddenly revealed a terrible dried corpse, this person was vaguely a young man, wearing the clothes of a guard, at this time he was already dead, without a trace of blood all over his body, and looked very shriveled.
On his skull, his facial features were sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was filled with endless terror, obviously going through something very terrifying before he died.
The people present were either the iron-blooded soldiers of the army or the butchers of the Chatai, who had to face the dead all the year round, so they were not afraid, and gathered around one by one to take a closer look.
Lin Ran's eyes flashed with silver stars, and he glanced at the corpse guard's body, frowning slightly.
"This person is the head of the Shi family's 'Shi Zhong', he was found in the head of the family's study, the wooden tables and chairs in the study were messy, and there were many damages, apparently he had experienced a fight before he died, and was finally killed. ”
Shen Qian led everyone to the front of a corpse and lifted the white cloth.
Shi Zhong was a man with a majestic body and a rough face, and at this time, like the guard, his blood was sucked dry all over his body, his head was shriveled, and his face was terrified.
"So, the Shi family is full of people, and they are all artificially killed?" Zhou Fang said.
Shen Qian nodded: "The Shi family is located in the most prosperous center of Shimen Town, if it is a demon beast attack, the first thing should be that the city gate is broken, but except for the Shi family that night, other places were not damaged. Secondly, such a big movement, the people of Shimen Town didn't notice it, obviously, someone set up a formation to isolate the sound. Finally, the traces of the killing in the study of the head of the family, Shi Zhong, were definitely caused by the fighting between the Yuan masters. ”
Everyone nodded, Shen Gan, as a general of Zhennan, obviously had some real talents.
"So, is it possible to have a vendetta?" Lin Ran asked.
Zhou Fang groaned, shook his head and said: "If it is a vendetta, the other party has such a strong strength, it is completely possible to kill the door in the light, there is no need to be so sneaky and kill people." ”
Lin Ran nodded, normal people take revenge, naturally they want to be happy with revenge, the other party can wipe out a family like the Shi family overnight, and he has not let go of any of them, obviously his strength is extremely strong.
"It's basically certain that it's the demon cultivators and the evil cultivators who are causing chaos, I hope it's not those sects, otherwise, it will cause turmoil again!" Shen Qianyu said with a sigh of worry.
Everyone present was shocked, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"The most important thing now is to find the murderer, I don't know if the two of you have any good plans?" Lin Ran asked.
"This ......"
Shen Qian and Zhou Fang groaned, for a while, they had a feeling that they had no idea where to start with this headless and tailless case, the other party's means of acting were clean and neat, and they laid out a formation around them, leaving no clues, it was really difficult to do.
"I have a solution here, I don't know if I can do it. Lin Ran looked at the way several people shook their heads and sighed, and suddenly smiled.
"Oh, please follow the envoy's words!"
Shen Qian's eyes lit up and he arched his hand and said.
Lin Ran had a smile on his face, his eyes rolled twice, and he said with a smile: "Although there are no clues, we can create clues, so and so, so and so, what do you think?"
Everyone present was a giant and high-ranking official of the Patrol Stage, the Wind Patrol Army, and the Military City Division, and after pondering it carefully, their eyes immediately lit up, and they felt that this method was extremely wonderful.
"What a plan!" Zhou Fang laughed and praised complimently.
Shen Qian also smiled, nodded and said: "According to the inspection, this method is indeed ingenious, in my opinion, just follow this method, within a few days, there will definitely be some gains!"
Everyone agreed, and as a result, the soldiers who had surrounded the Shi family began to move, turning the entire Shi family upside down, as if looking for something.
"Found it!"
Soon after, a loud shout suddenly came from inside, and the sound was very loud, and it was transmitted through the tall walls of the Shi family to the streets outside, and many people heard this sentence.
What did you find? Could it be the treasure of the Shi family? People speculated in their hearts.
