Tian Xiaoding followed the other disciples of the Tianyang Sect to the treasury of the Qin family in Xicheng to load raw silk.

While he was loading the car, he suddenly felt a figure flash in the corner not far away. But when I looked over, I didn't see anything.

Xiao Ding thought he was dazzled, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to load the car.

Just when everyone was about to finish loading all the raw silk, suddenly there was a loud noise from the front yard of the Qin Mansion.

Xiao Ding's ears were sharp, and soon he heard that someone in the front yard was shouting: "Oh no! The second owner of the village was killed! Come on! ”

Second, the owner?

Xiao Ding immediately remembered Qin Feng, the second eldest of the Qin family.

The mansion of the Qin family in Xicheng was named Qin Yuezhuang, so the servants in the mansion called Qin Can, the head of the Qin family, and his four brothers as the owner of the village.

The treasury of the Qin Mansion is in the backyard of Qin Yuezhuang. Therefore, there was an accident in the front yard, and the servants made a big noise, which immediately alarmed Xiao Ding and the people who were loading the car in the warehouse.

Everyone is a cultivator, and their ears and eyes are smart, so the voices in the front yard will naturally be heard.

Especially the four inner disciples who led Xiao Ding and them over, they were all cultivators of the eighth or ninth level of Qi cultivation, which was much higher than the cultivation of Xiao Ding and their outer disciples.

The steward of the Qin Mansion's treasury, along with his subordinates at this time, also stood up straight, stretched his neck, looked in the direction of the front yard, and listened carefully.

The steward immediately sent one of his men to the front yard to see what was going on.

In a short time, the servant who had been sent away hurried back and said to the steward, "Something is wrong! Our second owner was killed by a sneak attack when he was squatting in the thatched house this morning. ”

"Huh? ......" Everyone present was shocked.

Xiao Ding secretly said in his heart: I don't know who killed the second Qin. Yesterday, Qin Lao Er hit and killed Old Man Zhang, but he didn't expect to suffer retribution today. Could it be related to the figure I found earlier?

At this time, the four inner disciples under Lian Zhaocai's seat opened their mouths: "Don't stand there and watch, other people's family affairs have nothing to do with us." Hurry up and load the rest of the goods, and then we're ready to go. ”

After Xiao Ding and the others heard this, they hurriedly got up again.

But as soon as everyone loaded the car and was about to leave, a large group of Qin family members suddenly came from the front yard. When these families arrived in the backyard, they directly blocked the gate, and at the same time divided some people to surround these people in the backyard.

Behind him was a man in his thirties, dressed in silk and satin, but his face was a little sallow. The steward of the backyard warehouse, as soon as he saw this person coming, hurriedly changed into a smiling face to greet him, bowed down, and said, "I have seen the three village masters, why did you come to the warehouse?" ”

People who are familiar with the Qin family, as soon as they hear the treasury steward call this person the owner of the third village, they will naturally know that the person who came is Qin Laosan Qin Chi. Although Xiao Ding didn't know the specific names of the four brothers of the Qin family, he heard the steward call him the third village master, and of course he would guess that this person must also be one of the heads of the Qin family.

This Qin Chi waved his hand at the warehouse steward, and then asked, "Is there any suspicious person in the backyard?" You're working here, have you ever met strangers coming in, or have you seen strangers going out? ”

The warehouse steward shook his head again and again and said, "No, except for those from the Tianyang Sect who came to load the goods, no one else came in and out of the backyard. ”

After glancing at Xiao Ding and the others, Qin Chi continued to ask, "Did any of these people from their Tianyang Sect secretly leave halfway?" ”

The warehouse steward shook his head again and said, "No, there are twenty-one of them here, and they have been loading goods here all along, and no one has left halfway." ”

Qin Chi nodded, and then ordered the family members: "Search this courtyard carefully for me, and don't let go of any clues." ”

Xiao Ding said secretly in his heart on the side, you fools, no matter how stupid the assassin is, he will not honestly hide here and wait for you to search it. Normally, the front yard has been making noise for so long before you start searching for the Assassin, and I guess the Assassin has long since disappeared.

Sure enough, this group of family members searched in the yard for most of the day, but they didn't find a single fart.

At this time, the four inner disciples under the Lian Zhao Cai seat stepped forward, and the person at the head of them hugged his fist towards Qin Chi and said, "Master Sanzhuang, I don't know what happened to your mansion, but our goods have been loaded, you see, don't you let us go first!" ”

Although Qin Chi usually only cares about losers in the Qin Mansion and rarely takes care of things, he has also seen these disciples under Lian Zhaocai, so he also hugged his fists and saluted back: "It turned out that Brother Lu came in person, sorry, sorry!" Brother Lu, don't you know, there has just been a big accident in our house, my second brother was suddenly attacked and killed when he got up early to go to the toilet today, and we are now searching for assassins in the whole house. Thank you for your kindness! ”

This inner disciple surnamed Lu pretended to be surprised and said: "I see, no wonder the front yard was so noisy before, it turned out that the owner of the second village was unfortunately killed!" That's really a good search, I don't know who is so bold that he dares to enter the house in broad daylight to assassinate? ”

Although the Qin family in this Xicheng is also a family of rich people, the people of its family are also cultivating from generation to generation. It's just that wealthy families are prone to disobedience, and because the family is not short of money, the people of their Qin family are not very active in cultivation. Therefore, after Qin Can and the four brothers came to their generation, the exercises practiced by the Qin family were only just getting started, and even the cultivation of the four brothers could not catch up with the cultivation of Qin Taibao, who was sent to Tianyang Sect to study.

Although Qin Can and his four brothers' cultivation is not high, none of the family members they hired were given for nothing. After all, there are many casual cultivators, in order to accumulate wealth and exchange cultivation resources, they are also willing to commit themselves to these high-ranking families to help them take care of the courtyard.

Of course, if they cultivated too many people who were higher than the four brothers of the Qin family, the four of them would not dare to hire them. In this world of cultivation, strength is everything. If the master is too weak, it is not uncommon for the slave to devour the master.

Fortunately, in this Tianyang City, the Qin family has a city lord who even recruits and shelters, but few people dare to provoke the Qin family. Even if he is a casual cultivator, since he lives in this Tianyang City, he is naturally unwilling to offend the city lord.

However, today, no one would have thought that someone would sneak into the Qin Mansion and sneak attack Qin Feng, the second elder of Qin. This made Xiao Ding in the crowd immediately think of Mrs. Zhang who went to find Lian Zhao to file a complaint yesterday, could it be that she hired someone to assassinate Qin Lao Er?

Or is this old lady deeply hidden, she is a cultivator with high cultivation in her own right?

Xiao Ding secretly guessed in his heart, but soon he denied the second one he had just thought. If Mrs. Zhang is deeply hidden, it is obviously unlikely. Although he can't see the cultivation of others for the time being, he can definitely see that he can even recruit them. What's more, if Mrs. Zhang has cultivation, she will not let the old man be hit and killed on the street, even if she is not careful and is hit to death by someone, if she has high cultivation, she will not let Qin Lao Er escape on the spot.

Therefore, this clause he guessed was quickly overturned by himself.

After listening to the words of the disciple surnamed Lu, Qin Chi also said helplessly: "Our Qin family ancestors have lived in this Tianyang City for so many years, and nothing major has happened, so the family in the mansion is also a little negligent in taking precautions, and as a result, the assassin took advantage of the loophole, and pity my second brother ......." After saying that, he actually shed tears.

The inner disciple surnamed Lu comforted: "Since the matter has happened, let's mourn and change first." I see that your mansion has been searched for a long time now, and although the results have not been found yet, I believe that sooner or later it will come to light. However, Master Sanzhuang, you see that we have been waiting here for a long time, can you let us leave first? ”

Hearing this, Qin Chi nodded, wiped a handful of tears, and commanded the family members: "Open the gate and let the people of the Tianyang Sect leave!" ”

After the gate opened, the four inner disciples led Xiao Ding and their outer disciples to leave the backyard of the Qin Mansion one after another. When each carriage passes through the gate, there will also be a member of the Qin family to take a closer look at the carriage.

After leaving the Qin Mansion, Xiao Ding originally thought that the four inner disciples who were recruited by Lian Zhao would return to the City Lord's Mansion. Unexpectedly, the four of them followed the convoy and walked out of the city.

Xiao Ding and the others had a total of seventeen outer disciples, each of whom was responsible for driving a carriage.

Each carriage was loaded with a large cart full of gold silk.

These golden silks, in fact, if you have a large enough space magic weapon, it will be easier to carry it directly into the space magic weapon. It's a pity that the storage bags issued by the sect to the disciples have very limited space, and they can't hold so much golden silk at all.

Although Xiao Ding has a magic weapon of the Qiankun pot, the space inside is not small. But how dare he take out the Qiankun pot in public, it's not much different from throwing himself to death. "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", Xiao Ding still understands.

After the convoy left Tianyang City, Xiao Ding found that the four inner disciples were still moving forward with the convoy. At this time, Xiao Ding finally understood that Lian Zhaocai was worried that the cultivation of these outer disciples was too low, and if they encountered any danger on the way, they might not be able to deal with it, so he sent four inner disciples with relatively high cultivation to help escort them.

But that's okay, with four bodyguards, even if something happens on the road, wouldn't it have an extra layer of protection?

I thought of what accidents I would encounter on the road, but I didn't expect to really encounter accidents.

After the convoy left Tianyang City, it was noon, and just over a small hill, everyone was about to find a place to rest, by the way, to have lunch, to give the horses water or something.

Suddenly, in the forest beside the road, a fast figure came out, rushing directly towards the last carriage.

Xiao Ding was in the penultimate position of the team, and when he saw that figure, he immediately felt that this figure looked like he had seen it in the morning.

Could it be that he was the one who sneaked into the Qin Mansion in the morning and killed Qin Lao'er?
